THE PORTAL is CLOSED.

On last Saturday, the 9th inst, the
door to the citadel of suffrage in Vir-
GINA was closed. The drawbridge was
raised, the portcullis lowered and all
possible entrance to the fortress was
barred for a period that will certainly
last for one year-for some men it may
continue closed forever. No, not for
ever, for we confidently believe that the
honest men of Virginia will before a
great while rise in their might and tear
down the odious fortress in which the
Virginia Democracy has imprisoned suf-
frage. This will as surely be done as
was the hated Bastile assaulted and
demolished by the outraged citizens of
France. A princeless suffrage is
boon, right of which the citizens of
Virginia will not be permanently de-
prived.
Last Saturday was the last day when
the otherwise qualified voters of Vir-
ginia could complete their qualification
by payment of their poll tax, so as to
be able to vote at the election next Fall.
How many good men failed to pay that
tax in time cannot now be ascertained.
But it is certain that many thousands
failed to comply with the rigid require
ments of the suffrage law; and they are
now excluded from real citizenship in
the State. For year, or perhaps lon
ger, they will be aliens in the land that
gave them birth, the State whose de-
velopment and upbuilding they have
been contributing to by their honest,
productive toll. They will be taxed
without being allowed to have a voice
in the government, without being per-
mitted to exercise any choice In the
selection of men to make and execute
the laws that will control their property,
lives, liberty and happiness. How long,
Oh Lord, how long will this cruel wrong
be permitted to continue?
1t is possible that more registered
voters have paid their poll taxes for
1904 than paid them in 1903. If this be
true there will be more qualified voters

G. Washlngton's Quilt.
Newport News Times Herald.

Newport News Times Herald.
An original George Washington'f
quilt" has been dug up and busted fol
the Portland exposition. There is great
rejoicing among the management of the
worlds fair over the discovery of the
relic.
Several doubling Thomases, who
questioned its genuiness, have been
hooted down and the quilt will be given
a seat of honor at the show.
1t is now in order for the man who
has the moccasins of Pocahontas in cold
storage to produce them instanter.
They are entitled to place besides
George Washington's blanket. And
the sword Of Cornwallis-where is the
sword of CORVALLIS? And the tent
used by Miles Standish when he chased
the Indians out of Plymouth? These
with the ropes used in hanging the
Salem witches would make an interest
ing historical exhibit, together witha
pair of Benjamin Franklin's socks. If
in addition, the exposition could obtain
some of the mittens knitted by Mrs.
Adams, one Of Dolly Madison's hand
kerchiefs and plug of General Jack
sons tobacco tremendous hit would
be assured.
Nobody visiting Portland this sum-
mer should fail to see at least the
George Washington quilt, even though
there may be strong suspicion among
housewives that if the quilt had been
laundered as often as it should have
been it would not have survived the wear
and tear Of q quarter of a century,

Light in the Sahara.

The Sahara desert lighted by acety-
lene street lamps is novel conception
at which the mind hesitates. Yet that
is what the traveller would see, thanks
to the ingenuity Of Commandant Pu-
jat, Of the French army, should he
visit the Oasis Of Tougourt, in the far
south of Algeria. Tougourt was re.
markedly unhealthful, but the cons
mandant, by diligent sanitary work,
has overcome that trouble To make
the place more attractive and pleasant
for his garrison, he has mounted large
acetylene lamps high on the stems
of the gigantic palm-trees which shade
the market-place, and thus has given
this mid-Sahara camping place quite
the appearance, by night. of an Amer
lean village.

Another SemI-CoIo
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
1t is reported that owing to the misplac-
ing of semi-colon in the Wisconsin anti
cigarette law that the law is pratic-
ally nullifed, We have had an exam
pie in our own state of the power of a
semi-colon than took from hotels priv
ileges which they had hitherto enjoyed,
privileges which they have never been
able to regain, although the sentiment
of the majority of the people of our city
would favor more liberal law than the
present in regard to the sale of alcohol
in reputable hotels. Probably the re-
formers in Wisconsin will urge the leg
islature of that state to change the law
so that the intent Of the legislature can
be carried out, instead of being nullifed
by punctuation mark, the use of
which, possibly, was entirely accidental.

in Virginia this iyear than there were
in 1904. II must also be true that quite
number who will be qualified to vote
next Fall were disqualified or disfran-
chised by the poll tax qualification last
year. Now, how will this latter class of
voters act at the coming election? Will
they vote with the party and for the
candidates who are responsible for and
defend the system by which honest men
are alternately made aliens and citizens?
Last year certain citizens were disfran-.
chised, this year they may be for one
year enfranchised-ho will it be with
them the next year?
How many men who are now in a con-
dition to vote at the coming election
will have friends and kinsman that have
had the door to suffrage closed against
them? If there are such men in Vir-
ginia will they vote with the Democratic
party that wishes to continue the use
of the DISTINGUISHING system and the
curtailing of the electorate? To vote
that way will be cruel and inhuman to
your honest friend and neighbor who is
now made an alien by the poll tax quail
fication.
We take it for granted that the Re-
publicans of Virginia will stand solidly
for repeal of the poll tax qualification
for voting, and will make such declara-
ton in their State platform. Whatever
influence we have shall be directed to
that end, and to the restoration OF
priceless suffrage to our people.

Calls for Government Control.
Philadelphia Press

Philadelphia Press.
The Equitable Society's squabble pre-
sents very strong argument in favor
of President Roosevelt's suggestion that
interstate insurance business be placed
under national supervision.
An examination Of the affairs of this
society under the authority of the ma
tional Govhrnment would undoubtedly
be good thing for the company as well
as for the policy holders, Politics,
business interests and other affairs
easily create relations between the Off
Gals of a State and its big institutions
that render impartial action in emer-
gencies impossible. Whether justly or
unjustly the New York Insurance De-
partment is now suspected of being
hampered in this way. There is not
entire confidence in what it may do.
If it were within the power of the ma
tional authorities to make a searching
inquiry the effect would be felt at once
all over the country. 1t would reassure
the policy holders; it would prevent the
annoyance experienced at the hands of
many insurance departments, some dis
honest and some inefficient, and it
would certainly have prompt and
effective influence in rescuing the or
ganization from the perils it is now I'M
dergoing.
The experience of the past few
months with this one company is alone
enough to justify the Presidents posi-
ton. 1t is an experience that should
also appeal to the next Congress.

THURSDAY, MAY IL, 1905.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-11-01
PRESIDENT AT HOME
Roosevelt Heartily Chesred on Re-
 turn From the South.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-President Roosevelt, returned from the south, Is again at the capital. He returned on the dispatch boat Dolphin. He was transferred to that vessel from the cruiser West Virginia outside Norfolk, Va. At the navy yard the president was received by guard of marines, accompanied by the Marine band. Lined upon the wharf on either side of the landing was squad of naval gun hers, Who flied "a salute of twenty-one guns when the president arrived and another salute when he left the yard at 12 o'clock.
 Mrs. Roosevelt drove to the yard and greeted the president upon his arrival, and the president and Mrs. Roosevelt were driven directly to the White House. After luncheon the president went to the executive offices.
 The president was cheered heartily by large crowds as he passed from the navy yard to the White House, We're glad you're backw was one of the cries which greeted him. ''So am Ip' an- swered the president. Mir. Roosevelt appeared to be in the best of health and in his usual good spirits.
 It is said here that President Roose- welt will be nominated by the Demo crats for president in 1908 and will be indorsed by the Republicans. Some of the leading politicians declare that a movement with this object in view al- ready has been launched. The move ment is the outcome of the presidents triumphs on bis southern tour.
 A number of the leading southern Democrats, 1t is reported, favor the nomination of Mfr. Roosevelt by the Democratic party. The plan Is to make Mir. Roosevelt's election almost unani- nous. If the Democrats should nomi- nate him, 1t is declared. 1t absolves Roosevelt of his pledge, given last fall, not to be candidate again.
 Mir. Jusserand. the French ambassa- dor, called Fat the White House at 9 o'clock last night and remained with the president for some time. It is pre- sumed that the Venezuelan situation was under discussion, but the ambas- sador declined to talk.
 President Roosevelt regards bis south ern trip. just ended. as a most enjoya- bIe and profitable experience. Particu- larly did he enjoy the sea voyage, and the president expressed himself in the most enthusiastic terms regarding the ships. officers and men of the squad Fou

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Large crowds attended the masses at St Patrick's this morning.
 Miss Bee McGill of Bank street is visiting friends in New Britain. Edward J. Donahme is home after fine hunting trip and brought back some nice game with which he intends to give a supper to his friends some night during the week. His party had great luck and several good rabbits and squirrels are among the mess. Nothing exciting is said to have oc- cured during the chase.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club bas- ketball team took the Hills into camp nicely last evening and had no trouble i'll making a high score. The boys from this section played nice game and their passing was very good for so early i'll the season. If they keep up the good work in all probability they will land the cup in Brooklyn.
 The members of the Brooklyn team who participated in the forty five tournament at St Francis's last even- ing put up good game, but as luck was against them they did not land the gold watch for their captain. Still they think that they were as good as any other team there and are willing to take on any aggregation, especially the winners.
 A farmers wagon came to grief on North Riverside street yesterday afternoon and the vehicle was stalled for some time. 1t appears that the wagon was too heavily loaded, but held up until 1t arrived at the street above mentioned Some of the pro duce landed in the road, but the farm CT was not out much as most of 1t was picked up and put on another wagon.
 The residents of this section cer- tainly were aware that last night was Halloween, for the boys and girls were out in force and cut up all kinds of pranks during the evening Many gates were taken, doors were banged, people were thrown at, and there was q general rough house. On Bank street, late in the evening, 1t was an amusing sight to see a crowd of boys moving a small coal bin from one yard to another. Parties which are usually in line on Halloween were conspicuous last evening by their ab- sence. IF
