GRANDFATHER CLAUSE UNCcNsTI-
T'UTJONAL.

One o: the measures used for the par
pose OF disfranchislng colored voters in
various southern States was so worded
that descendants OF ancestors who were
voters sccn 8t.er ths war could alone
exercise tho right of suffrage Inasmuch
as this would apply To practically all
OF the colored citizens whose grand
fathers ware slaves, It 10 manifest tina.
this WAS an indirect but very effective
way OF saying to tho new generation o,
Negroes that they could nst vote.
Maryland vas one OF the States whose
Legislatures set out to disfranchise COL
ored voters In this way, but the circuit
court Of that State has now decided that
voters possessing the usual qualifications
may not be disfranenised because their
ancestors did not vote prior to January
], 1863.
This Is Common sense as well as JUS
ice ana equity and In the end other
means 10 disfranchise the colored citizen
will probably follow the grandfather
tlnuse' into tho legislative and political
scrap heap.

dangerous complication with the United
states; but the truth was that while
Japan was willing for the sake of amty

she was carrying out the policy inangur-

The grave problem OF Japan to-day is
10 keep up a great military establishment
for her preservation and to avoid in
solvency. Taxation IS almost intoerably
burdensome, and 1t falls mainly upon the
cultivators of the soil; they form 60 per
cent. of the population, which is twice
as dense as that of France BY hercu-
lean effort and spartan thrift Japan is

Is colonizing Corea, the Japanese half Of

ence is wrung from the soil by enduring
great hardship, would not DO considered
attractive In any other country in the
world but in southern Japan the holdings
are pitifully small and the land tax Is
10 to 10 per cent. of the harvest in addi-

holdings run up to % acres. Every body
in the Japanese family works necessarily
to keep body and soul together, and the
condition OF the farmers has been made
desperate by competition in their prod
