Whereas, Certain other evil dis

Whereas, The citizens of Harri

Up until Wednesday night there
were twenty-six additions, many

There were eleven baptised on We'd

witnessed the impressive ceremony.
The illustrated hymns sung by Miss

He seemed to think he had a great

That is the trouble with Mr.. Bryan as q

peal has at last seen the matter as we
have always viewed it. The disgrace
which attaches TO those who framed
the law and wrote it in the Constitu-
ton would not be so great if their at
tention had not been to accomplish pre-
ciseiy what has been wrought by the
law. 1t was a purely partisan meas
ure, an intended snare and delusion, and

do the work the ballot box suffer aud

The Richmond Evening Journal has

mand for the repeal of the iniquity.
At the two last sessions of the General
Assembly of Virginia joint resolutions
were introduced by Republican mem
bers for the repeal of the law, but the
resolutions at both sessions were killed
by Depocrats in committee. When
the election comes next year for men,

stand with US and make the repeal of
the poll tax qualification, for voting an

State sxscts Too Heavy a Penalty.
Richmond Journal.

Richmond Journal.
Why should citizen who is liable to
be drafted for service in case of war be
required to pay for the privilege of vot-
ing?
Why should an assessment of 81. so be
levied upon him, to be paid half year
before the election is actually held?
Why should the right of suffrage be
made matter of money and memory?
Why, if such conditions are to be i'm
posed, shouldn't the citizen have some
tricks and catches embodied in the law
in his favor so that he might dodge SER
vice in the contingency of call to
arms? What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander.
1t is wise and proper for the State to
require an elementary educational test
in the matter of suffrage. Illiteracy
and gross ignorance are proper bars to
the exercise of the suffrage right; but
illiteracy is one thing and poverty or a
poor memory is another.
The present Virginia election law has
not accomplished what it was declared
it would accomplish. That declaration
was that the law was so framed as to
eliminate the negro vote while preserv-
ing the white vote, including the vote
of the poor white man. The negro has
been eliminated, it is true, but with the
negro went apparently $4,000 or go, 900
white men. OF this tremendous total
of 90, 900 or $4,000, a considerable per-
centage are average mortals of more or
less means, and with the average mans
memory and habit of business prompt
tude or neglect. That such should be
deprived of the right to vote as a pun
ishment is neither equitable nor in har.
mony with the fundamentals of demo
cratic form of government.
As for the poor man, if he can pass
the educational or understanding test
he should have an unquestioned right t
vote. Assess him for taxes and compe
= payment just SIS he was assessed anC
) compelled to pay before the new Con
, stitution went into effect, without ref
erence to his right to vote.
The poll tax should be abolished as
e prerequisite to vote.
