One of the best ways to judge what the effect that qualified suff rage would have in North Carolina is by what it has had in other Southern States where it has been tried and is now in operation. Sev eral days ago we quoted from an in terview had by Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the Raleigh Xews and Observer, with Governor-elect Heard, since inaugurated Goy ernor, stating what it had done, for Louisiana. The following on this subject is an extract from his in augural address, in which he speaks not simply to one man but to the people oi Louisiana and of the United States. We clip from the Neios and Observer: "The wise limitation of the suffrage, under the present constitution, to a property owning and intelligent elec torate, has served to eliminate from the exercise of the suffrage the vast mass of venalty and ignorance which has heretofore been a constant menace to good government. "The elective franchise now being confined to the intelligence of the State, the fear of corruption in the con duct of public affairs has passed away, and the citizen, with a feeling of confidence and security, will find more encouragement to exert himself in the development of the industrial and agricultural interests of our fertile domain. ''The elevation and 'purification of the electorate, while it promises, and will eventually advance and secure these great material advantages, yet . places on those entitled to suffrage, the greater duty to see that the moral, social' and material interests of the wholes people shall be carefully guarded. . "These limitations and restrictions of the franchise eliminate from the electorate a large portion of the negro element, thus committing the destinies of the commonwealth to the hands of its white citizens. "This was done for the purpose of protecting not only the white, but the colored race as well, from the evils of corrupt government and to preserve the rights and liberties of both. It therefore becomes an imperative duty, now more than ever before, to deal justly and fairly with this class of our people, and to see to it that they are fully protected in the enjoyment of their rights of person and property, and to insure the betterment and ele vation of their moral and material condition." There is in Louisiana a property qualification by which negroes who possesa $300 worth of property may vote if they can't read or write. Under the "grandfather clause" all white men natives of the- State, or entitled to vote in the States they came from, if not natives, can regis ter and vote, but this provision lets in the thrifty class of negroes, who by industry have accumulated prop erty, although they may not be able to read or write. There is no prop erty qualification in our amendment. What impartial man who viewed this question from a patriotic, non partisan standpoint would -obiect to a measure which has been produc tive of such happy results as Gov ernor Heard declares in his man on ral address qualified suffrage has in ( nis estate r lie is supported in this ! declaration by the testimony of nu merous prominent men in that State all of whom unhesitatingly pro nounce it one of the greatest bless, ings ever conferred upon the peopl of Louisiana. ' There is qualified suffrage in Mi sissippi, too; somewhat, but not ma terially, different from that which prevails in Louisiana. There has been mucn misrepresentation as to the effect of that law in disfranchis ing white men, just as the oppo nents of the amendment are misrep resenting the effect the amendment will have iu this State, professing to believe that it ill disfranchise illit erate white men. In answer to an inquiry from the sheriff of Rich mond county, Mr. A. H. Richard son, formerly ft resident of Anson county, but for a number of years a citizen of Mississippi, writes as fol lows: "Egypt, Miss., May 7. Dear Tom: I was agreeably surprised a few days since by receiving your letter and hasten to answer it. I also send you some letters from some of my neigh bors in regard to the working of our new constitution. I have never heard of a single white man objecting to the educational qualification, and I do not know a single white man that is dis franchised by it, and I have no idea there are 100 white men in the State of Mississippi that! are kept from voting on account of it. Its object, openly declared, is to! disfranchise the ne gro, and there is no wish, or effort made to keep! a white man from voting under this clause, no mat ter what political party he may belong to. It was not 1 only for the negroes' best interest that the ballot was taken from him, but for perpetuation of our civilization. His race would have be come extinct here but for this. Sinca that amendment has -become a law he has been transformed from an insult ing tyrant to a peaceful, industrious laborer, and now the two races live together in peace and qujet and pros perity, unknown in the days of their power. They do not meddle in poli tics here now, nor care anything about voting, and now tneir legal rights are more jealously guarded and their life and property safer than when they ruled our State, i ao not know of a single drop of their blood being spilt on account of politics since then, but before that day, at ev ery election, there was bitterness and strife and bloodshed between the races, with always the same result hun dreds of them being killed at every election. "The whites, whether they are rich or poor,educated or illiterate, share with the negro these blessings free dom from the eternal strife and blood shed that we had in former days. Oar condition, as well as theirs, is not to be compared to what it was in the dark days when ignorance ruled oar BUte. A. H. Richardson. This letter speaks volumes, as testimony to the benefits that State derives from the change in the suf frage laws, the peace and the better feeling resulting from it, the benefit it has been to the negroes by taking them out of politics and causing them to give more attention to their own affairs, and rescuing them from the domination and the baleful in fluence of the politicians, white and black, who, when they were voters, abused their confidence, and misled them, that they themselves might profit by it. Taking this view of it alone and eaving the white men entirely out of the question every man who has the interest of the negro race at heart should give warm support to any measure which would take the negro race as a race out of politics and free it from the sinister in fluences by which it has been domi nated since enfranchisement. This is the view that every honest, sensi ble person who desires the prosperity of his State and the betterment of the negro should take of it. WHY IT OBJECTS. The Philadelphia Press is a recog nized leading organ of the Republi can party. Its politics and utter ances are shaped by Postmaster Gen eral Smith, who was editor-in-chief of Press when Mr. McKinley called him into the Cabinet. In an edi- orial on the proposed constitutional convention for Virginia, after saying that if the object .were to give the constitution a thorough revision, the convention would be a good thing, it concludes thus: "The real object in holding the con vention, however, is not so much to improve the present Constitution gen erally as it is to accomplish one pur pose, xnat purpose is to find some method of suppressing the colored vote under the forms of Taw. Virr ginia has now on its statute books an election law as objectionable as the Infamous Goebel election law of Ken tucky. The law has been denounced as such by the leading Democratic newspapers of that State. It places the entire control of elections in the hands of the Demo cratic party and enables it to commit with safety any frauds it chooses on the ballot box. It is by means of these frauds that the Demo cratic party has been able to maintain itself in power in Virginia for years. But the Virginia Democrats have seen the Democrats of Louisiana. Mississippi and South Carolina accomplish under constitutional forms the same suppres sion of the colored vote that they them selves have had to reach by force and fraud, and they are eager to make use of a similar method. The chief object of the convention, then, is to frame a constitution which will eliminate the colored rote. "It a sincere attempt were made in Virginia to base the suffrage on edu cation there would be little objection. .tsut no sucn enort will be made if a State convention is called and a new Constitution is framed. The suffrage clause will be adroitly worded so that every colored illiterate will be dis franchised and every illiterate white will be allowed to retain the right to vote. This plan has already been decided upon. The, Democratic State Convention at its recent ses sion in Norfolk passed a. resolution assuring the illiterate whites that no attempt would be made in a constitu tional convention to deprive them of them of the ballot. What is known as the "grandfather" clause in the Louis iana Constitution will doubtless be adopted. Such an amendment to the Constitution of North Carolina Is to be voted on next August and there is every sign that it vnll be adopted. The clause permits every nran to vote whose ancestor was a voter previous to ine war, no matter how illiterate he may be. . ' Lhis article coming from the sonroe it does has in it some notable points, out ta&en as a wnoie it is a strong argument for the measure it deprecates. Asserting that elections have been persistently and continu i r a 1 1 . t . ousiy camea dj me isemocrats in Virginia and also in other Southern states by fraud' and force, and tacitly admitting that there is no way to prevent this as the laws are now construed, and admitting also that the qualified suffrage laws in the South are in accordance with "constitutional forms," isn't it bet ter that suffrage should be regulated in constitutional form rather, than by fraud and force, assuming that there really is fraud and force? What sensible person would not say that the constitutional form is not a t.Hft wiser wav to. inu iwbbci - this auestion? tu pM! Admits that where a, 4 m t w an fffflflTA now prevails in the South it is in constitutional form, which means that it is consti tutional, in this differing very ma terially from Hon. Jeter Pritchard and other anti-amendment politi- cians who assert that the proposed amendment for this State is not constitutional. But they give themH selves away on that by their opposi tion to the adoption of the amend ment. for if they believed it uncon stitutional and that it would be, sd declared by the courts they would not be wasting their breath andj their efforts to defeat it as they ara doing. J But the objection that the Press seems to have against the disfran-j chising provisions is that they d not disfranchise illiterate white men 'as well as illiterate negroes. If it did that, the Press tells us, there .would be no objection, so, that it seems the complaint is that illiterate, white men will be permitted to vote while the illiterate negro will notj If it disfranchised the illiterate white man it would be all right. In this there is a conflict between it and Pritchard, Butler & Co., who are howling about it because they say it will disfranchise the illiterate white man. These statesmen should get the organs in line with them, be cause it mixes things and discredits them when they diverge so widely. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING. President Winston, of the Agri cultural snd Mechanical College, is an ardent advocate of industrial training for our young people. In his addresses on that subject he presents the following cogent rea sons why special attention should be given and special effort made to equip our young people to become active and efficient workers on man ufacturing lines: I "1. North Carolina is unable at present to compete in the production of staple crops with other States hav ing fertile soils and better adapted for the use of agricultural machinery. "2. The prosperity of the tt Late de pends, therefore, upon diverting a large proportion of our laboring pop ulation from agriculture into other industries, chiefly manufacturing. 3. North Carolina already possesses every element requisite to make her one of the foremost ) States of the world, excepting technical knowledge and skilled labor. He climate, her large and varied supply of raw materi al, her abundant water power, her proximity to the coal mines, her facil ities for transportation, I her unsurpass ed healthfulness, producing a constant supply of strong, energetic, reliable, intelligent labor of the n-ngiuh-speat-ing race, willing to work for cheap wages, give her a combination of ad vantages not possessed : by any other State in the Union. ' 4. The establishment of manufac tures, with a large industrial popula tion requiring food and other comforts and possessing abundant money to pay for them, will cause agriculture again to be prosperous.' The dairy the garden, the orchard, the poultry yard, the truck farm, furnishing sup plies to constantly 1 local market, will give the farmer abundant means for comfortable living and enable him to raise corn, wheat, oats and tobacco as surplus crops even in competition with more fertile States. Our sou will gradually be improved. better methods of cultivation will prevail and the yield of all crops per acre will doubtless be doubled or even quadrupled in the next fifty years. "5. In order to accomplish these results there is need of industrial edu cation along agricultural and me chanical lines. Our young men must be stimulated to make themselves captains of industry and the State must provide necessary facilities for industrial training, similar to those provided in other States." The movement for industrial train ing is growing in the South and has more strong and earnest advocates in North Carolina to-day than it ever had. The Indiana wheat crop will be a partial failure this year on account of the Hessian fly. Speaking of this a prominent Indiana farmer says the farmers of that State should raise four times as much wheat as they do, and would if it were not for the' ravages of the Hessian fly. But these will continue while gun ners from the cities are permitted to slaughter the. quail as they do. These birds destroy the Hessian fly, the hunters destroy the birds, and the resnlt is the wheat crops suffer. Indiana is not the only State to which this applies. . The city council of Winchester, Va., is opposed to the mosquito in cubating' business in that locality and has passed an ordinance re quiring every citizen to pour kero sene oil in all pools on their premises and put spigots in their uncovered rain barrels. The spigots are to draw the yonng mosquitoes off be fore they get large enotigh to worry the Summer visitors. The entire import trade of the 1,200 islands in the effort to con quer which we have placed 70,000 troops in a deadly climate and are spending several million dollars a month is worth about $32,000,000 a year. Of this we now get .7 per cent, though we have been the nominal masters of the Philippines for more than 18 months. It will be a long time before we' get more of this trade, and if we should all be clear profit it would many years for it to pay us back the money we -expended to conquer the Filipinos if we ever do to say nothing of our loss of blood and honor.

COTTON MARKETS. BV Telegraph to the Morning Btar Ttfww Vnpir Mn.v 2fi. The cotton market oDened stead v in tone with the nearer options ten to sixteen points higher and the new crop positions seven to twelve noints higher On a flnrrv of cp.n era I buvinc led bv ioca shorts. !The improvementoriginated in decidedly better Liverpool cables than tVin t.rnrln had hAAn led to ftxnPRt. con sidering the action of our market last night. Buying orders or considerable importance were received from Europe while the outside public also operated on ine ouu sine at ine start, f ollow ing the call, however, shorts seemed to recover from their early fright and not onlv ceased covering but sold the remote months under the belief that the fav6rable crop and weather re ports, in conjunction with rumors of lower spot markets and a bearish weekly review by the Chronicle war ranted a resumption of bear specula tion on a moderate scale. On the early rise a prominent Philadelphia export house was a fair purchaser of "the May, June, July and August de liveries, causing relative firmness in those months. After 'the call, the market eased off under selling from New Orleans. In the late forenoon the crowd was disposed to procrasti nate pending developments over Sun day in the crop country and further information from the British market.
