Thu. May6. 1902. , JOHN H. BINGHAM, C 8, C. Snffrage in Ina honth. Scribner for June. . The Constitution of Missis fiippi bns "been in operation for. twelve , years, that of South Carolina for seven, Lou isinna has held one election under the temporary plan, and Alabama has gotten through with one poll tax pa 3 merit. The negro was al readv eliminated, having as set ted himself for many years prior to these new constitu tions only in Norh Carolina. So he can assert himself un der the permanent plant of them.nll, for there are in Ala bama 73,000 literate negroes of Voting ape, and the pro portion is much the same in other states. True, h will find soineannoyances in com plying with details adminis tered by the whites, but he can surmount this difficulty if aUy led in alliance with any considerable faction ot the dominant race. Ah a fact, h ha 8 scarcely jet begun to come in, and very, very ma ny whites remain out with him. In 1900, under their new constitution, Louisiana poll ed only 72,000 votes, which was less than half their whites of voting age, and only 11,- 500 of these were n mi-Demo crats. Mississippi's largest vote under the new constitu tion has been 69,000, much less than half her whites of voting nge, and the mnxi mum anti-Democratic vote was 17,500. South Caroli na's largest vote has been 68,000, a trifle more than half her whites of voting nge, nnT her highest anti-Demo- cracic vote has been 9,000. In all three states, of opposi tion to the Democrats there is practically none and elec tions are a mere form, just as they were, with few excep tions before the new constitu tions supposedly removed the cohesive fear of negio domi nation. In Mississippi some 80.000 whites have never registered, and less than 20,000 n.-groes out of 198,000, of whom 92 000 are literate. In Alabama registration is now in prog ress under the temporary plan, and the registrars ore passing less than 1 per cent, of the negroes, while many thousand whites aie n o t bothering to apply. Yet, in both states nianj" of the whites who are registered and HEAD IT IN HIS NEWSPAPEtt. George Schuub a well known German citizen of New Lba non,'Ohio, is a constant rea derofthe Dayton Volksz'-i tnng. He knows that his pa per .aims to advertise only the bst in its columns and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain ZJalin advertised there ia for lame back, he did not hesitate in bpying a bottle of it for his wife, who foreight weeks had suffered with the most teriible pu'ns in hr back and could get no relief. Ele says: "After using the Pain Uulin for a week, rnv wife said to me: 'Heel as tho' born anew.' and before using the entire contents of the bor tie the unbearable pains had entirely vanished, and she could again take up herhous hold duties." He is verp thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of being registered cannot vote because of their failure to keep up their poll tax. InJMississipp, South Caroli na and Louisiana the poll taxes are collected br legal process; and the age limit is sixty years. In Mississippi, it seems, while the record is not kept by rares, that quite 30, 000 whites are shut out by failure to pay and the bulk of the negrops. In Louisiana the bulk is much worse, and in South Carolina almost os bad. In Louisiana alone the tax is purely voluntary aud cumulative forever, while the age limit is down to forty five. Low as this limit is, the slaughter of voters has been something extraordinary. Out of 276,000 subject to the tax less than 100.000 paid it. Gf the 150,000 with in the ace, 60,000 esteemed the $ 1.50 above the privilege of voting, while less than 10, 000 negroes paid, and most, of these before they found out the tax is not collectable at law. These figures would seem to indicate two things: 1. Vhe ballot is held in slight esteem by both races. 2 The mind of the South ern white man, long shackel ed by the fear of ngro dom ination, Ins not bpen libera ted by these new constitu tions, but is harnessed as tightly as ever to the party car. What difierence of opin ion, what worthy ambition, what noble aspiration there ma.r be, what conflict oi in terest may move men to di vision and eoutendingamong each other is (ought out ns before in the primaries and conventions of the party.

The question has been ask ed, in what way areChamber Iain's Stomach & Liver Tab lets superior to pills? Our an swer is: They ure easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can al ways be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leaye the bowels in a natural condi tion, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by constipa tion. For sale by M.
