But We have 10000 whites
that come under it. and there are
about $500 negroes who drifted
here from the Southern States
and their descendants who will
come under il also. More of
them cannot come under that
clause. Whyi Because we have
a law in the State which provides
that every man coming into the
State shall make oath before the
Clerk OF the Court that be is
here and expects to remain here.
and his residence dates from the
date be takes that oath. That is
one Of the laws that Mr. Poe
drew up that makes Republi-
cans and their allies so vicious
against him. How many ne
groes in the State do you sup
pose have taken that oathi A bout
1900 of them One half of them
we're from Virginia and Delaware,
to whom the clause would not
apply. So about loo of them
might come in under the Grand
father Clause in the hereafter, if
they register in 1906.
Then 20 more can come. Whyi
Because the Grandfather Clause
expires in 1906, and therefore no
negroes will come from the South.
"But it is said that all who
take that test are put on an
equality with the negroes In
the name of Heaven, who placed
us all on equality with the negro.
as We are now when we come to
register or vote7 Not a Demo
crat. The Republican party
forced political equality We
propose an amendment that has
worked we'll and honestly in Vir-
ginia. aud it will work well here.
The Virginia Constitution was
framed by a convention of 100
men, 60 of them lawyers and %
of them bad been judges. They
had the opportunity to put in any
clause or any provision they saw
proper; it did not have to be sub
mitted to the popular vote.
THAT Constitution was pro-
claimed by the convention. They
framed the provisions they
ID ught wise and finally they
said that the first registration
that takes place under the Con-
stitution must. in addition to
other clauses, be under the IN
derstanding clause. and all so
registered shall be permanent
voters.
We copied that clause word for
word, without dottlng an 81" or
crossing a ST." They registered
their votes. and there are not 20
men in all Virginia who have
been naturalized since 1869 who
were not put on the registration
list fairly and honestly"
Senator German referred in a
most conservative and pleasant
way to Governor Warfeld and
his opposition to the amendment,
and SAID that he believed that the
Chief Executive had been misled
by bad advice.
Senator German wound up his
address by this direct and ring
ing appeal to the people of Mary
land:
"But now. my fellow citizens,
this case comes to you. 1t is
your affair. You made 1t the
issue because it was necessary to
be made. You made it in 1899.
You made it in 1903. You pledged
every man on tue ticket to sup
port the amendment; you worked
hard and would have defeated
V man on the ticket who failed
to live squarely up to the plI
form. Your Legislature has made
ii the issue. Your State Conven-
ton, with unanimity and, with
solemnity seldom witnessed in a
convention, said that it is our
battle cry, the only question to
be determined in the contest. 1t
is yours, 1t is mine, it is every
mans. 1t can be carried if you
will but do your duty"

THE CRY OF A RING.

"They say it is fraudulent;
that some mysterious ring in
tends to appoint all the judges
and the clerks and that we will
cheat them. Everybody knows
we cannot beat them at that
game. We can identify all of our
people, and who will identify
theirsY They are so much asbam
ed of their people that it is said
that Mr. Bonaparte would not
preside over their convention at
a theatre on Charles Street unless
they would agree to keep the
negro delegates away.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1905-11-03

"There are seven States south
of the Potomac that had negro
suffrage in 1869. Mr.. Bonaparte
told us that, and that is true.
We fix 1869 so as to make that
amendment as colorless as glass,
for the Fifteenth Amendment
provides that the right to vote
shall not be denied or abridged
on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude. ;
And we have not, because there
were seven States--and | have

Mr.. Wilson is almost as well known

delphia.
And. he was, for twenty years, almost
the Deafest man in his native city.
Any one of the thousands who know
him today will certify that his Hearing
is now as sharp as their own.
Few men have studied the Ear so
Earnestly, and thoroughly as Mr.. Wilson
had to do. for his own sake.
What he positively knows about Deaf
ness is personal. and practical.
1t is not mere book knowledge, but
the actual facts tested out by his own
hard experience.

should be read by every man or
woman. who has Ear trouble,-who is

tank and climbed up, then hauling up
the ladder, which he placed on the
inside, he descended and with his broom
approached the reptile. There was per-
haps three inches of water in the tank.
The man soaked the broom and began to
sweep the alligator down. when something
happened The negro seemed sudden
ly to fly into the air and turn somer-
sault, landing on his back, from which
position he scrambled to his feet, made
rush for the ladder and came out
several grades whittier than when he
entered. The alligator had struck him
with it's powerful tail just behind the
knee and at the same time had thrown
its wide-open mouth around and snapped
at him. 1t was an attempt to bat the
negro into it's mouth. The keeper was
astonished, but evidently not SO much
so as the negro, and possibly the alligator,
that had missed a good meal.
Turtles display little or no intelligence,
though | have succeeded in so tanning a
hawkbill turtle that it would take certain
seaweed from my hand; but beyond this
there was no evidence of intelligence.
Some turtles | have kept, especially a
land tortoise, known in Florida as a
gopher. which was notable for its sociabil
ity, crawling out of it's burroW and
apparently seeking human company. A
rancher in Northern California has a
number of the large Galapagos tortoises,
among the most remarkable of the tribe.
They are completely tame and seem to
enjoy attention. A little girl appears to
be a favOrite, and when she climbs upon
the back of the strange pets they carry
her about with ease. The huge creatures
also follow her around the corral for the
food which she deals out to them.
These huge pets are found on the
Galapagos Islands and are among the
animals that are destined soon to pass
away, becoming rarer every year. Sew
eral different kinds are known on the
various islands, suggesting that they are
of great age and geological curiosities.
\ large turtle is found on the great
California desert living in regions that
are almost impossible to man. One of
these was found by a man who was
agent at one of the desert stations. 1t
became domesticated, eating from its
owners hand following him about the
little office, venturing out only at night.
In history we have many instances
of queer companionship. Spiders have
consoled prisoners and displayed GER
J tain sociability, and lizards have been
the companion of many an isolated miner.
Crabs are not noted for their intelli-
gence, but l have kept several as pets,
