Notwithstanding the unequivocal ststoracnt of the constitution that "the right of the citizens af tho United States to voUi shall not ba denied or abridged by the United States or by any stBte," the Supreme Court hiu tie cidid that It has no jurisdiction to pre vent such disfranchisement If tiny of tho states presuitlo to enact It. Tho Southern states will not be slow to take advantage of this and In a few years the negroes in the south, or the great majority who are Ignorant and helpless, will be In exaotly the same condition politically at before the war. The negro should take Booker Washing ton's advice to keop out of politics and learn a trade. A curious fraud was recently exposed in Philadelphia, the object of which Is a mystery. Some person started end less chains of letters, working for the mOBt part among ladies. Kach person to whom a letter was sent was request ed to send his or her name to a. certain "moral league" in Philadelphia to be attached to a monster petition to Con gress to pass legislation prohibiting cigarette smoking. In addition each person was requested to ask four of their friends to send their names and each of them four of their friends. In this way an Immense number of chari tably Inclined people sent their names to the "league." But Investigation proves that there is no such "loague" In existence and the address given is a vacant lot. Just why any person should go to all the trouble of originating this fraud with no end In view Is puzzling. It is a significant prophecy of future trouble that no sooner have the coal miners secured an eight-hour working day than agitation was begun for a further reduction to a six-hour day. The six-hour day is already In use in certain parts of Australia and New Zealand and will doubtless In time pre vail In America. But It is useless to hope for any satisfactory agreement between labor and capital, be the work ing hours what they will, undor tho present system of employment. The only true solution is tho adoption of some profit sharing plan whereby tho workman shall share with his employer In an equal distribution of tho profits. Whon the employee is certain thut he gets a fair share of the profite, and that share regulated strictly by his own pro duction, be will cease to war for t hot t er hours la the hope of equalizing his profits with his employer's in that way. Tho opening of the St. Lculs World's Fair is but little more than nine weeks away. Some idea of its Immensity can be gained by the fact though the open ing was delayed a full year beyond the original date, the work of construction is yet far from completion. Like many another project, the scope of tho fair, originally intended simply as a memor ial of the Louisiana purchase has ex panded and met with such general aid from tho foreign governments of the world, that the original purpose has almost been lost sight of. It has become not simply a memorial of a national event, but a convention of the different nations of the world, eclipsing in Its grandeur and extent anything which the world has ever witnessed. There is but one point of slmlllatity between tbls and past exhibitions In America, and that Is that alroady it has been forced to ask for more financial aid from the government to prevent loss to its promoters. . Tho naval programme; now before Congress culls for an expenditure of ninety-six million dollars for ships of war. The United States is a great nation and In Justice to the numerous possessions nhrond and her own Im mense coast lino must have many and Vigilant defenders on tho sea. It Is wlsa In time of peace to prepare for war. But It might bo wiser In tlma of peace to teach the horrors and crimes of war. If ninoty-Blx million dollars wore appropriated for the special teach ing of humanity and kindness to every living creature, Including men of other nations, In our publio schools, it would be a far moro effectual means of Insur ing future peace with the world. For while tho consciousness of superior strength may awe the nations abroad, it will glvo to American an arrogancy which will not hesitate to pick a quar rel and conquer at the slightest provo cation. If peace is really desired. It should be sought not in the preparation and training for war but In teaching the doctrine of peace and mercy, of Christi anity and civilization, to the men and women of to-morrow. Death of Mrs. F.

The pictures were beautiful and varied, of a humorous, serious and Instructive vein. Barnum's immense circus Darat'e was Ideal, i nn educated monkey at tho table was laugn provoking and a riser's battle with an obstinate collar button, vividly recalled to the male members of the audience many such trying experiences. The flro alarm, responded in hv a 1l equipped fire department was most realistic, and the portrayal t.f "Undo Tom's Cabin" In picture plainly told the story of that beautiful olav. Tha climax of tho evening was the Swiss scenery, taken from the front end of an engine, and was In natural colors. The trees, telegraph Doles and houses stnnd out In bold relief on this picture, and the Immense gorges appeared so real, that for a time ono forgot the place where he was and almost Imagined himself travelling over the mountuins In that country and enjoying its mag- nuiceot scenery.
