justification in the fact that a BLOCK

Germany could be supplied through

Both Great Britain and Germany
have disregarded sea law and have
invaded the rights Of neutrals, Ger
many with submarines, Great Britain
by interference with neutral shipping.
In spite of the raids made by the
submarines the British control the
seas. They say what may be export
ed from Germany, upon what terms,
and how long. They, say what may
be imported into Germany and what
may be carried from or to neutral
countries.
Their orders in council violate
rules heretofore recognized in gener-
al practice. Their blockade OF the
German ports is merely a process,
completely effective. of seizure wher-
ever safe and convenient. 1t Is ef-
fective, but it is not blockade IN
the sense heretofore recognized.
Moreover, it is a restriction not up
on Germany, Austria-H hungary, and
Turkey, but restriction upon all
Europe.
It has been seldom that a maritime
nation so completely controlled the
seas. 1t is a control conditioned by
the submarine, but it is control new
artheless. Submarines can drive
dreadnaughts to shelter and interfere
with their operations, as evidently
has been done in the Dardanelles:.
They can snipe them, but in spite OF
that the seas remain closed to such
shipping as Great Britain prohibits.
She is mistress Of the waters.

A REPUBLIC At LAST.

Il (From the New York World.)
The Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
was reaffirmed yesterday by the
unanimous judgment of the Supreme
Court. It provides that "the right
of citizens Of the United States 70
vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any state
on account Of race, color or previous
condition Of servitude.' 1 sE#;
This fundamental law of the Re-
public has been nullified in various
Southern States for many years, and
in the optical branch of government
there has not been Of late either the
courage or the sense of justice In
any political party to challenge the
offenders. To defeat the purpose OF
the law we have had what are called
grandfather clauses" by the terms
of which illiterates are excluded from
the ballot-box unless they were quail
flied voters, say, in 1866, or, are the
descendants of voters who then were
qualified. ~
AS has been pointed out on many
occasions, this was an illiteracy test
that was intended to apply only to
negroes, and in practice it was made
so onerous that even the members Of
that race who were we'll qualified
soon found that they were not per-
mitted to register or to vote. The
grandfather clause in its essence was
notification of a national law by
State law. BY its terms half a dozen
Southern States deny the ballot to
tens of thousands of American cit
liens on the pretense of illiteracy
but actually on the ground Of color.
Yesterdays judgment relates to
conditions in Maryland and Oklaho-
ma, but it covers every law, constitu-
tional or statutory, in every State
south of Mason and Dixon's line in
which manhood suffrage has been
denied and the color line drawn. 1t
is more than mere assertion of
right. It holds to responsibility I'M
der the law all who deny the right.
The authors and administrators of
the grandfather trickery may now be
