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.

ous In the community where he died as
one of the mot substantial, conserva

county. He Inherited and practiced all
of the estimable traits of his nationality
and could not be swerved into doing a
deed whlcb he regarded with suspicion.

attended by a large outpouring of
citizens and neighbors who came to pay
their last respects to one whom they
had learned to reverence In life. Ha

Beautiful Pictures.
Oxenham's moving pictures were
shown In the Fraternity Theatre last
evening, and gave entire satisfaction to
the large audience. 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. Mr. Oxenham will
again show this evening, with an enllra
ohange of pictures. Sbamokln IMily
