It must have been difficult for them to choose. between e negro and white Democrat, but possibly they were to some extent governed by their olfac- tory organs and decided that almost any old thing was preferable to a negro For all that, while we are glad to hear that Democrats win. we hoped that those who were responsible for negro on their municipal ticket would be forced to endure him during his term of office as a reward for their hypocrisy!
 But they counted him out!

OuT HE GOES.

After all that has been said of the Chicago matter and after all the grouchy complaints made by the Re- publieans of that city, we did hope that they. would have to put up with the negro judge whom they had elec- ted without intending to do co. but it now seems that they have fornd way to. sidetrack him. That 'zay was by counting him out. If you have any tears to shed get out your bandanna and i'll 1t full of briny drops. Chi- eago Republicans counting out one of their own party Is the limit.
 AS everybody knows our brethren of the North nave been charging # against us of the South that we coun- ted out the negroes in our elections during the days when negro domina- tion was a real menace. Perhaps the figures did sometimes get talled up in such manner that the colored votes didn't stand for much, but that Is now dead issue. Whatever may have been our sins in that respect we didn't put a negro on eur ticket and then count him out to get rid of him. We never displayed that brand of ingratitude.
 We have already had somewlEat to say about this case by way Of guying the Chicago Republicans over the manner in which they slipped up and elected a negro judge when, by their own admission, they did go for to do 1t. The returns as first canvassed showed plurality of 4ss for the ne gro Barnett, and the dry Erins that spread over the countenances of his pale-faced brsthren were almost ex- cruciating. TAe fact that he ran very much behind all the other nominees was a little compensation. but not enough to make them feel entirely comfortable. Various plans and sug- gestions have been made to get rid of him but he was apparently there to stay.
 We say apparently" for we had not counted on the canvassing 0oard ot that city. That machine got in it's work last Thursday with the report that various "errors' had been found
  which were "agin the nigger," and his opponent. a Democrat, has been given the office by a plurality of S04 votes. Perhaps it would be unfair to insin- uate that there was some behind-the- door work performed to bring about this change, but when we think of the modification. consternation. indigna- tion and several other things that have been expressed by she Republi- cans of the city, and of the efforts they made to get out of thelr predica- ment, cannot avoid the suspicion that the decision was reached some- what in the way that the old lines ex- pressed it:
 "one's a one an two's a hgger,
 All for de white man,
 An none for de nigger."

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

The electors Of Mississippi will b.
called upon to vote for or against an
amendment 10 Section 66 OF the
State constitution at the election to
be held Tuesday, November 9th. In
order that our readers may be in
formed as to the amendment, we
give below the Section as it now

amendment carries.

No law granting a donation or
gratuity in favor Of any person or
object shall be enacted except by
the concurrence Of two-thirds Of the
members elect Of each branch of the
Legislature, nor by any vote for a
scctarian purpose or use.
The Supreme Court holds TO the
view hat the section as it now reads
means two-thirds Of those present, if
a quorum is present. 1t thus hap
pens that a much smaller vote than
two-thirds Of all the members carry
through a donation.
The amendment makes a vote Of
two-thirds Of all the members elect
cd necessary to make a donation or
gratuity. 1t is a meritOri0us amend
ment and should carry.
Every voter should be sure to vote

there are 1919 Confederate pen
sioners, an increase of 578 over last
year. The largest number is the

each, a slight reduction under last
