ludlcrous Mistake in French Law
Hard to Correct.

Curious difficulties occasionally be-
set young people who wish to marry
In France. A young Frenchman pro-
posed recently to q a Nile. Eugene,
and was accepted. The parents be-
gan collecting the mass of legal pa
pers required for French marriages.
Among the first to be obtained was
Md1le. Eugenie's birth certificate, and
when they got it they found that she
was registered a boy. She is put
down in the big book as a male, and
a male she remains legally and admin
istratively.
Her parents pointed out first, that
she was obviously, de facto, q girl;
second, that the Christian name of Eu-
genie entered in the register was fem
mime; and third, that II she had been
boy she would already have been
called up for the CONSUMPTION, being of
age. The authorities replied that none
OF these arguments were legally and
enthusiastically valid, and that she
continued to be boy.

POLL TAX IN STAUNTON.

The Petersburg Index-AppeSl has
overlooked the fact that the prepay
nlent feature of the poll tax requisite to
voting was not adopted with a view to
collecting the tax. On the contrary.
the law specifies that three years. poll
taxes must accumulate before officers
are allowed to collect, making the diff
Guilty OF collecting at all much greater,
especially from the class likely to be de-
hnquent for more than a year. The
feature was adopted to discourage vot-
ing among negroes, but it has not had
that effect, certainly not in Staunton.
Here the only effect has been to catch
many of the best people of the commu-
nifty who have other things than politics
to think about.-Staunton Dispatch.
If the Staunton Dispatch is correct in
its conclusion, that the staying of the
collection Of poll taxes was placed in
the Constitution to discourage negroes
from voting, it convicts the Constitu-
tional Convention of being the most
densely stupid legislative body that has
ever assembled in this Commonwealth.
1t was proclaimed by the Democracy az
the wisest and ablest gathering of leg
islators ever assembled IN the old Capt.
toll.
Where was the wisdom or necessity
for discouraging negroes from voting,
when a perfect provision had been en-
bodied in the Constitution, the under
standing clause" for DISTINGUISHING
nearly the entire negro populationf And
the understanding clause was REIN
forced by the educational qualification.
This latter provision the Richmond
Journal declares will be an ample bar
rier to prevent negroes from register
ing if properly enforced by the regis
trars.
No, the poll tax prerequisite for vot-
ing was an artful device intended to dis
franchise white men and curtail the
white electorate. Since it has been
demonstrated that the provision in the
Constitution has been accomplishing

he married her.

pliments that put the resources of flow
cry speech to the limit. With an ordi-
nary man this would be extremely dis.
turbing, and he would be led to excuses
of expression that might lead him to re-
grets in the future.
But the great thing about Mr.. Taft
is his wonderful poise. Wherever no
ID he has the comprehensive view. He
takes in the past. the present and fut-
ure. He forgets no class or condition.
So when he was talking to young ladies'
and extolling their beauty and paving
tribute to matrimony, he was very care
full to say a good word for those women
who new marry, and he added these
words:
81 know so many unmarried women
who make society and the community
and the families in which they live SO
MUCH brighter, who have learned to live
forNothers, and who by their earnest en-
ergy,Nby their disinterested unselfsh-

increased the happiness of so many peo-

young ladies' without upholding their
character of saints of single blessedness

whom the praises of the p-esident-elect

stigma upon the section. Mr.. TiIlman's
policy. so far from preserving the labor
supply of the Sou'h. would impair it's
efficiency, degrade its trustworthiness
and encourage the growth Of barbar-
ism and crime. It is not an argument
against Negro education that it inspires
some Negroes to aspire to the better
things for which they have been quail
fed by education. The Negroes, like
the whites, are comparatively few in
number that have the natural powers,
even with the aid of education, to sue
cessfully aspire to those higher things.
Not every lawyer becomes q Grotius or
a Chief-Justice Marshall, nor every edi
tor Horace Greeley or George D.
Prentice. The valhe Of education is
not in the prodigies of learning that it
sometimes exploits, but in the diffusion
OF knowledge among the masses and
the influence which it exerts in making
better men and women, and in creating
higher standard of citizenship and
greater capacity for the civic duties of
'Hfe. The individual who has not the
natural powers to become minister or
3 physician is certainly better qualified
for hie duties as hostler, a waiter or a
laborer\ by such education as he may
have the capability to acquire. The
truth Of this il so self-evident that it
requires no argument for its demonstra-
ton Ar. Thlman's propaganda of ig-
norsnce as civic virtue is dangerous
to the growth and progress Of his State,
and destructive Of social order and re-
spect for the Law. On this subject.
Mr.. Tillman is one hundred years be-
hind the times in which he lives and has
such conspicuous part. 1t is hard to
believe that he is sincere in what he
breaches, and that he is not pandering
to the instincts of the mob from selfish
motives. We are sure that he is not in
accord with the views of the most en-
lightened class Of the people of South
Carolina.
