SPEAKS THE TRUTH.

Referring to the matter of suffrage fin the South The New York Age, one Of the most prominent organs of the eolored people. says:
 We have found that in some of the Southern States the Afro American will not pay his poll tax and register and thus qualify himself to vote He refuses to pay the tax in many sections and in many cities where he would have no trouble in voting. A close examination also revelas the fact that many of our college men who rejoice in advising the people to stand up for their political rights fall themselves 10 register and pay the poll-tax in their communities. No person can help man who will not voter of the American if he fails 10 qualify and exercise the primary and. necessary function of voting. The government can do something hut the government is not going to pay an in- dividuals poll tax.
 The negroes of Alabama would do we'll to take this matter home to them- selves and heed the words of one of their own race. for 1t Is true. every word of 1t. The State cannot force a man to vote. or to qualify himself for voting. It can fix the means and open the way, but each individual must pre- pare himself for the privilege. Ala hama has made payment of poll tax and registration prerequisites for the privilege of casting vote, but the law does not impose a penalty for failure nor enforce compliance. There are negroes in Alabama who could qualify themselves and vote if they would The fact that they fail to do SO is a sufi- cient answer to the charge of universal disfranchisement so often made by ex- tremists.
 It Is true that many white men in our State are as careless about qualifying themselves as the negroes are, but that should have no offect on the latter. It is not charged by our critics that the white people are disfranehised though that charge would be as well founded as 1t is to say that the negroes are. as a race. Beth colors disfranchise them selves voluntarily, as is plainly appar- ent to all who care to look into the facts. The fact that all poll-tax money goes to the schools should be an incen- tive to all to pay 1t. The negroes know. however that their children will continue to be educated by the white people and are content with that arr engagement. As a general thing they are profoundly indifferent on the sub ject of suffrage. The average Alabama negro would rather pay his dollar and half for fat chickens than to spend l. for the right to vote.

that the night marauders who broke in to the county jail and participated in the iynching of Bunk Richardson at Gadsden in Etowah county. will prob ably not be apprehended and proseeut- ed.
 Tn q highly enlightened community, that such an outrage against the law should go unpunished, is a stigma upon that community. These lawbreakers, with their cowardly crime should be forced into the courts. publicly prose- euted, and given the punishment pro- vided by law, that he world may know the good people of ATabama--the great bulk of the people of Alabama-will not eountenance such an insult to their long cherished sentiments for law and order, and that handful of lawless towards cannot. through their male- factions, cast stain upon the good citizenship of this State.

According to The New York Mail, the Lawyers in the United States Senate have been promulgating the idea that no Senator who is not law yer should assume to speak on the railroad rate bill. A layman, they say, can be so mixed up on the law points, by the lawyers on the other side, that his argument Is turned to ridiclue.'
 That might possibly be a valid ar gument were 1t not for the fact that the lawyers appear to be as much at sea as the laymen are. or else they talk just to hear their own voices. At any rate. it would be difficult to get together a body of men not lawyers who would show greater diversity of opinion than the legal luminaries of the Senate are doing on this rate bill. The other Senators might listen with some complacency to the assertion that none but lawyers should debate this or any other measure if all of the latter could see the matter in the same way, and all of them discuss 1t just alike. As it is, they will do well to agree among themselves as to it's provisions, opera tions and restrictions before shutting out others from the privilege of ex- pressing themselves. And we may add that all the common sense Is not the exclusive property of the legal profes- sion. in Congress or out.

 An examination now of the commerce with the United States will show the profitable field there Is for American products and how the reciprocity treaty has been to the advantage of both countries.

United states that every fair minded man will de- clare that reciprocity with Cuba has been success Tn the three years of US existence. That there is great eld tOf lHipTONtfuCHL.li Pot that matter you must not look to the treaty itself for greater help: you must do something now of your own inltia- tive. Merchants and manufacturers, so alert and pushing at home. seem to imagine that foreign commerce. will come without meeting and vanquishing other competitors. There may be the bost desire on the part of the Cuban merchant, native or Spanish, to do busi- ness with this country, but lie will buy where the taste of the Cuban people Is catered to, where he gets more facili- ties and where the goods are cheapest.
 In short time the extension of the present reciprocity treaty will come up Tor debate. and am sure that in this most important matter, as in all the others which have been subjects of discussion, the two countries will reach d satisfactory conclusions
 Our commercial relations must be based, as those political, on the sin cerest friendship, not only on account of the desire that you have to see us progress, but because of your immense investments in Cuba, which arc bound to profit by our mutual understanding and good will.

rHrLADEIrHIA COMPANIES.
Have Had to Come to Terms With City
 Government.

Philadelphia Special.
 Mayor Weaver today met the officers of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com pany, which controls all the railway facilities of the city, and practically signed an agreement by which the sys- tenn of transportation will be revolu- tionized. Certain legal forms must be complied with before the Mayor will attach his signature. The terms of this agreement were reached at n meeting held between the Mayor. his director of public works, and repre- sentatives of the rapid transit com pany.
 The agreement includes rapid transit years. an assurance of. competition, and the recovery by the city of millions of dollars worth of franchises.
 While the old Republican organiza- tion under the leadership of former State Insurance Commissioner l. W. Durham was in control of the pulitl- cal situation here, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company secured fran chises which precluded the possibility of competition. The company's failure to complete the Market Street sub way within the stipulated time com pelled the corporation to seek an ex- lsh the work. It was within the Mayors power to hold up this work, and supported by the various business mems associatione he secured the con cessionsi stated by agreeing to grant the extension of time. The Philadel- phia Rapid Transit Company will also pay the city $400, ,000 in cash, to be used in abolishing Philadelphia and Reading Railway grade crossings.

We agree with The Manchester. N. H., Union when. discussing some of the wild arguments used against the use of stimulants it declares that they do more harm than good, because they are obviously false. Thus such experi- ments as pouring full strength alcohol upon tho white of an egg to illustrate the alleged effect of alcoholic beverages upon the brain, and the placing of bits of beefsteak In alcohol to illustrate the supposed effects of the same bever- age on the stomach-both of which ex- periments have been made in public schools-may well create astonishment in the minds of the pupils that any one can drink whiskey and survive the first draught.'
 It Is beyond doubt that a good cause may be Injured by advocating it in a wrong way.

THE sMALLER rARms.

The admitted increase in cost of liv- ing is a subject of comment among the best thinkers and writers of two con the question is a vital one. One of the principal causes is the fact that pro- duction does not keep up with increas- ed consumption. This, again, is large ly due to the fact that agricultural and horticultural work is neglected for and other large farms imperfeetly cul- tivated, are among the greatest causes of an insufficient supply of food. It requires no great wisdom to under stand that practically all we eat. drink and wear must come from the land. and that in order to get plenty the land must be made to yield its greatest sup- plies.
 The Chicago Chronicle argues that "the solution of the problem Is to be found in the creation of great class of small. independent land owners who will do their own work" for 1t holds that the idea of farms cultivated by hired labor must be abandoned. If the day of large farms shall pass no harm will be done, "A liaie farm we'll til- led says one poet. speaking of what is good for a man. and another speaks of the good times in England when every rood maintained its ewnf man." That seems like limited area, but The New York Mail. apparently speaking as one having authority. asserts: Carefully planted and diligently tended, quarter of an acre of land will support a human nfe we'll" This. again, may be an extreme view. but it is not extreme to assert that much smaller farms than are so common. es- pecia1ly in the South. would be more profitable than the large ones are, and that an independent class of indus trious small farmers would be for the best and would do much to solve the question of supply and demand.

Our Alabama Achilles.

MODlIe Register.
 The unusuaEspectacle of candidate for Governor disappearing from the hustings in mid-campaign has caused both his friends and foes to shell the woods for reasons for such perform ance. In Birmingham it is said that he has not retired from the contest, but is carrying on still hunt, not believ- ing it necessary to conduct vigorous campaign in the open, because he is personally well known all over the State and what he stands for is equally well known. At the proper time he will resume operations and will finish in whirlwlnd of popular approval. As far as we have been able to learn, this statement reflects in great measure. the program entertained by Dr. Cunning ham.
 In Montgomery we learn that 1t Is said that the doctor complains that he to which he believes he is entitled; that he is not a man of means; and that he cannot afford the expense of long and vigorous campaign. There fore, he is in quasi retirement now, re- serving his strength. both physical and financial, for a Garrison finish. It would not be surprising to ind that there is some truth in this report.
 If we were asked our opinion about the program, with the reasons here giv- en in support of it. we should say that 1t has the defect of not taking the publ lie into the doators confidence. If such a program has been adopted, 1t would be well to declare it now. The public, being ignorant of 1t, misinterpret the doctors actions; believes he has con fessed defeat in advance, and that no more will be seen of him in this cam paign. And this has the effect of re- leasing the lukewarm from their obli- gatfon to him--many go over to Conner because they want to be on what they believe to be the winning side. The doctor will find 1t dificult to get these back. no matter what vigor Re may give to his campaign later on, and their number will be added to if he continues to keep silent.
 Furthermore, If the doctor should now reveal his financial condition, 1t Is probable that there are friends and supporters who will give him their heip; but he cannot expect that they viii do so unless he displays again the vigo: with which he began his cam paign.
 The prospect is not a cheering one for the Cunningham people, who see MT. Conner waging incessant warfare, even if he were engaged in deadly grapple with an enemy, while Dr. Cum ningham, like Achilles, is hidden in his tent When Achilles got over his case of dumps he rushed forth and made regular circus exhibit of Hector. Let pr. Cunningham imitate the example.

We are somewhat surprised to find the following paragraph in one of the bitterest and most intolerant news papers in the eountry-The Buffalo News:
 Senator Bailey is clearly in the lead as an available candidate fOr the high est honors on the Democratic national ticket He Is of ardent temper under control. He is a steam engine with q governor that no longer gets out Of order That Is the kind of man to do things and do them well.
 We are surprised at this because Senator Bailey is a, typical southerner. He may be lmpetuous at times and not always as oven-tempercd as Senator should be. but he is true and loyal son O. the South, who would honor any position in the gift of the people.

 It may not be profitable to speculate as to whether CT not Southerner could be elected president, but very plainly the time is past when an Amer ican from that section could not be considered for the nomination. As a matter of fact, the eyes of a good many northern Democrats. of the socalled for some time turning to the South. A good deal is likely to happen politically in the next two years. and that much generally unnotlced. Is evidenced by the fact that mention of southerner in connection with the presidency not sectional hatred or derision, but is seri- ously considered and even seriously advised. and not in the South but in the North. The significant and wholly welcome fact remains that the sug
 gestion of Southern man for president Is nowhere ridiculed as a political ab- surdity, still less denounced as the reward of treason.
