AFi:V CAYS oko uc gave tha substance of a bill drafted by Judge Ciumpaeker. of indi.ina, and of. his argu ment for tho reduetlon of representa tion in eonsreis of states which enact unfair tcstrlctlons upon tho suffrage aimed especially at tho nesro. We have fclnco received the eopy of a re ply to Mr. Crumpacker's bill and ar gument, made by Representative Wil son, of South Catolina, who as ch tlr man of the judiciary committee ot tho constitutional convention of 1S93 had , much to do with shaping the present suffrage lays of South Carolina; and fair play entitles Mr. Wilson to an equal healing. The gentleman fiom South Carolina docs not consider the merits or de merits of tho Crumpackor proposition; ho himply presents a brief showing that congress has no constitution il authority in the premises. "Theio is," tajs he, "no power under section 2, Article XIV of tho constitution, or un der any other provision of that In strument by which congress can de prive any state of a congressman or of a vote for president In tho electoral college because of tho suffrage pio ilslons of any state constitution. Tli3 thirteenth, fomteenth and fifteenth amendments abolish slave! y and in voluntary servitude, except as a pun ishment for ciime, throughout the United States and all places subject to their jurisdiction. The fomteenth amendment has several objects: 1. It deelaies nil pel sons born or natural ized In the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, to be citi zens of the United States and of the state wheteln they reside; and It for bids any state to make or enfoico anv law which shall abridge the privi leges or immunities of citizens of the United States, or to depiivo any per son of life, liberty, or pioperty, with out due process of tho law, or to deny any person within its jiulsdiction the equal protection of the laws. 2. It provides that when tho right to vole at any election for the choice of eli-c-tois for president or vice president of the United States, repiesentatlves In congress, the executive and Judi cial officers of a state, or the mem bers of tho legislature theieof, is de nied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of tho United States, or In any way abildged, ex cept for participation In lebclllon or other crime, the basis of congressional representation therein shall be reduced In proportion which the number of such male citizens shall hear to the whole number of male citizens, twenty-one yeais of ago In such states. The third and fourth sections hive no bearing here. Tho fifteenth amend ment declares that the right of citi zens of tho United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state, on acf count of race, color, or previous condi tion of servitude. "Tho fourteenth amendment was in tended to confer citizenship on the negio race. Neither the constitution nor tha fourteenth amendment makes nil citiens voteis. Tho liiteonth amendment does not confer the right of BUtfiago upon any one; it 'Imply prevents a state riom giving pref erence to one cltlen of the United States over another on account of lace, color, or previous condition of horvltude. It exempts citizens of tlio United Stales tiom dlbctlmin-itleu In the exercise of tho elective fiaiithbe on account of race, color, or pieviouu condition of servitude. Tho iJaht to vote In the btulo eomes fnuii the state, but the ilplit 'if exemption from tho piohibltod discrimination cornea from tlie United Stales. The Jlist lin not been planted or Becuud by t'.-o constitution of tha United States, hut tho last has been. The light to voti Is u pilvilcge regulated 'o inunleinil la,v mid InheiliiK rxcluslvet In tho slate. The llfteenth nmendmpni la tho only piovlslon In the constitution con cerning the 'iljrht to vote, unci that amendment applies only to cat,? of dlsciJmlnatlon 'en account of lacj, color, or previous condition nf srvi- . tuele,' and Its Is settled that tho 'light to vote' Is not one of tha pilvllegea or Immunltlej of the clthen of the Ur.Itet' States within tho in'iHln-r of the, fourteenth amendment, v hlch . amendment recognizes the ilyht of "lie Htato to deny or abridge tlw fauffi isa. As Is well known, many of ths atato3 lmvo fiom time to time dent-tl the 'light to vote" to such of their citl.iet s an vvi'i thought not to pnsjj3 hi qualifications necessary for an Indo Fndnt and Intelligent cxerctsa of tho i Ipht. These states Imposo edit ati r.i 1 ..qualifications nt conditions to tho ec- ( rrclsoof the 'light to vote:' Maine, Ma'sshchusotlV ' 'Connecticut, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Colo- rado, Wyoming. These require paj ment of taxes ns a condition: llhodo Ishnd, Pennsylvania, Delawate, South Carolina, Ooigla, I'lotlda, Missis sippi, Tenticsee, Nevada. Judge Thomas M. C'oolcy, who Is ecrtalnly as able utithorlty on constitutional livv as this country lnr. ever had, enter tains the view which I luvo pre sented, and that section -', nrtlclo XIV, of thi constitution Is Inuffe-etlv' so far ii It Is (.ought to he made opfiatlvu by Mi. Ciuiiiinckei." It Is a puor c.iui' which cannot dcfenl Itself behind ndiolt Interpre tation of the constitution, rot tun.itn ly Mr. Wllpon quotes the l-'nmtecnth amendment, and any one who can un derstand plain nnclWh must see, as Judge Ctumpicket userts, that ltd mandate Is peremptoty that "when the light to vote at any qlccM-vi is denied" to nny cf the male inhabitants of unv '.-tutu above 21 yeaia ot ago and cltUcns ot tin United State , "Oil IN ANY WAY AllllIDiil'D, except for pal tlrlpatlon In lebclllon or other nlme, the basli of congioslonil leptesetitatlon therein SHALL be l educed." To be black Is not n crime, yet In some states male Inhabitants who are above 21 and Am erican cltUcns are, because their 'kin Is black, and for no other reason whatsoever, denied the right to vote. Not only Is their light to vote abridged; it Is moie than that It Is canceled outilght. Ignorance Is not a ci line, within tho meaning of the con stitution, yet In some states men who aro In cveiy other way quilliled to vote aio tllsft.inchled for Ignoiance. It may not be within the power of congieMi to .say that a pioputy or a llteiacy or a "Krandfathet" test for voting shall not bo set up In anv state; but it is within the power ot congics to say that wheie the suff rage Is abridged the icprc&cntntlon In congiess shall be abridged In propor tion; and the constitution on this point Is not optional out peremptory. By tho appointment yosteidiy ot Mr. Samuel Williams to 1111 out the unex pired teim of William S. I.nngstafe as poor director, Judge Aichlnld did not pass upon the legal point ns to whether a vacancy elsts In consequence of Lanpstaff's removal into another .stato; but ho did make posslhlo a, te't as to whether tho author of tho $100,000 elec tion contest can go on dialling $.'-, a month pay in Lackawanna county while devoting nil of his time to ptl vate buslnes-s in Ohio. An Excellent Example.

The Ncuste Nach rlchten points out tint intei national law is unable to llx a delluito line be tween what is and what is not contia band.

The paper adds that the matter is now the subject of diplo matic negotiations, and there is tvuy reason to expect that (Jieat lirltnin will adjust the incident piomptly and faiily. This Is n timely object lesson foi con templation by those Amci leans who, because some American Hour was seized by tho Riltish in the same local ity, wanted to go to war nt onco. As a matter of common sense, when two poweis nie engaged in a life and dtath struggle tho fine points of International law as evolved by specialists seated in comfoi table llbiaiks are veiy liable to be ovei looked if tho biisplclon aiises that a third party is attempting any funny business. This is tine of both individuals and nations; nud the sen sible man as well as tho sensible nation is tho one who keeps well out of tin quarrels in which ho is not dltectly Interested nnd theieby avoids, tho pos sibility of being hit by a stiay bullet. England can be held to settlement for nny actual injustice done; but the neutials who go nosing aioiind for tiouble which Is none of their business deserve very little svinpathy when they find it and don't like It.

Consequently there is no reason why a consumptive should discontinue the use of Ripans Tab ules because expectoration has ceased. Furthermore in lung troubles an increase in weight is the best indication of improvement, and as the Tabules regulate the diges tion they increase nutrition and are doing the very service required to produce best results.
