The Philadelphia Press makes the Virginia constitutional convention the text of an editorial od negro suffrage; or rather on the movement to restrict negro suffrage. It quotes, from a letter addressed to the con vention by, some white citizens of one of the strong black districts, urging it to take effective measures " to eliminate the negro vote, because those white men have become tired of perpetrating frauds to prevent the negroes from gaining the ascen dancy. This is what it calls a "frank admission" of fraud, which it fol low-up by other quotations from Southern papers on the same line, and admitting that the purpose in thus restricting suffrage is to get rid of the negro vote. It would hardly be worth" while at this late day to'deny that frauds have been committed in the South, but no one who knows anything alutthe way elections have been conducted in States and districts where thf Republicans were strong enough to hope to win, would assert that the frauds were perpetrated by the Democrats only. Fraud was so much resorted to by the Republicans that in some elections they cast more votes than they had voters, and had more names on the regis tration lists than there were grown men in the townships in which they were registered. In North Carolina that was notoriously -the case and the election laws enacted by the Republicans and their Populist allies were so framed as to make fraud easy. They not only imported ne groes from across the borders, draw ing upon South Carolina on one side and Virginia on the other, but they went into the grave yard and resur rected dead negroes, and into the penitentiaries and asylums and bor rowed them, "for one day only." The frauds became so frequent, so common and so flagrant that we look ed for them as a matter of course. They could not be concealed for the negroes who were used to help carry elections not only confessed them but made them a matter of boast when and where they thought it safe to do so. This, aa much as anything else, had its influence in crystalizing the sentiment for re-" stricted negro suffrage, the only way to get rid othe purchasable and unscrupulous element, which figured so largely in our elections, not only in this but in all the Southern States. If under circumstances like these when white men had to contend against conscienceless white men and. negroes without moral restraint or responsibility, they resorted to fraud to prevent themselves from being ruined what reasonable man putting himselin their place would blame them? Itwaa a matter of self perservation with them, and they resorted to that to prevent i the necessity of resorting to some thing.more serious. It was simplj a case of matching crookedness against crookedness, fighting the devil with fire, and checkmating the Republican managers with their own methods. When fraud was re sorted to by Southern white men it was not as a matter of choice, but as a matter of necessity, or last re sort to hold the reins of government and preserve the peace. This is the history of elections in the South, where the Republicans 1 were formidable enough to make a 'contest, and that's the reason for frauds where frauds were perpe trated, and is also their justification. When a thief enters- your house at night you do not stand on ceremony as to the way you will will get him t. But lecturing Southern Democrats for .committing election frauds when it was a matter of self-preservation, does not come with good grace from a journal whose columns have been filled with reports of and f editorials denouncing the wholesale irauds perpetrated in the rockribbed Republican State of Pennsylvania i and in the good, loyal Republican city of .Philadelphia, whereHthe op posing, factions charge each other with all manner pi corruption and election, frauds. In that city,on the authority of anti-Quay papers, fifty thousand or more fraudulent votes are cast, and the returns doctored to suit. That is without the plea of- necessity, as in the South, but simply to keep one fac tion in, for the. spoils of office, purely mercenary and with as little extenuation "or justification as the burglar corhld off er who lifts a win dow and sneaks into the house he :fji .A xcrx, - v x. .1.'- - -y;i. : .. . ;,! iicans m ine norm ana i tne south - get above frauds at elections it will be time for Republican., organs to write censorious "editorials on frauds I tat elections bj Southern .Democrats. .But if all this were true and these ISlectuxinff organs, think - election ; ":f W- frauds"- are : so much vto be con- f uemnea . ana.

If they .are as honest as they pretend to be, and knowing? as they must know, the corrupt and unscrupulous use that has been and still is made of the average negro voter, they would commend these efforts to protect the ballot box, to. eliminate the pliant, venal and dan gerous element, and let the Tespect able intelligent and responsible citizenship direct the destinies of communities and of the State. Then the incentive to fraud would be re moved unless the Southern people should become as demoralized by the greed for -office as the Republicans of Pennsylvania are. A MEANINGLESS PLANE. Mark Hanna held the reins over the Ohio State Convention, put through the ticket he had slated and had the platform fixed up to snit him and Mr. McKinley. The fact is the whole business was arranged before the Convention met, and all the delegates had to do was to go through the form of ratifying what Hanna and his associates had pre viously agreed upon. As might have been expected, the platf oifei is an endorsement of every thing the administration has done, at home and abroad, and a sweeping claim to the credit for any good that has come to the country since Mark Hanna and Wm. McKinley took charge of affairs in Washington.This, however, is characteristic of every platform- with which Mark Hanna has anything to do. He is a broad-sweeping and mighty claim ant. But thelatform is, character istically too, a dodger and a de ceiver, as illustrated by the follow ing plank in reference to Trusts, which Mark Hanna said in the last campaign were all killed by the Sherman law. "We recognize the right of both labor and capital to combine when such combinations are wisely admin istered for the general good, but com binations which create monopolies to control prices or limit production are an evil which must be met by effective legislation, vigorously enforced " This is the vilest kind of rot. They have been playing it for ten years. It is as unmeaning as the croaking of a frog. Mark Hanna denies that there are any Trusts such as would come within the description in this plank. According to him all the Trusts we have " are simply "aggre gations of wealth" for the benefit of the public and consequently this fake plank cannot, apply to any of the combinations now in existence. Doesn't every intelligent person who reads the papers, or who buys things, know that these combina tions ddOnit production when it is to their interest to do so, control prices and organize monopolies, but - of course there is nothing in their plans of organization to show that and not one of them, of course, would admit it. The men who made that platform knew this, every man in the land of ordinary intelligence knows this, and yet they have the cheek to utter such rot, not for the first time, for it has become a stand ing fake in Republican platforms. A REGION RICH IN MINERALS We have heretofore made refer ence to the marble deposits of Chero kee county, but we had no idea when we did that they were anything like as extensive as they -are. In a cir cular letter published by the Mur phy Board of Trade, whieh we find in the Raleigh Post, the following information is given aa-to'the marble deposits and other '. minerals of. the county, which will be read with in terest by all North Carolinians: 'The great magnitude And varied ness of Cherokee counties minerals has long been a source oh much won der to scientists and mining people in general, and as a whov they are re garded as being unfaualled by any other on thia contiifent. ' A lead of marble extends throfgh the county a distance of more than forty piiles, and varies in width front 200 feet to nearly one mile in places It has been exten sively prospected with a diamond drill, and has been bored in many places 100 feet without going through it, show ing perfectly" free from breaks and cutters. It is most exquisitely beauti ' ful in .color, from pure white, pale flesh to coal black, variegated by stripes of every tint and color. Two quarries, splendidly equipped-, with modern machinery, are now being operated, and one other . is being opened. ; -1.. An iron lead, runningXrom east to west, contiguous to the Southern and Atlanta Knoxville and Northern Bail road, extends entirely through the county. It is very massive . in places, and is as rich and pure a quality of brown hemitite ore as can be found on the American continent There are many other deposits of rich and pure iron ore and manganese in the. county. No other part of the globe furnishes tale superior in purity, and beauty to the numerous deposits existing in Cherokee county! And five ecTent mill plants for grinding samfioave' already been erected in the county, and others will doubtless be establish ed at no distant day- r . The famous Duektown (Tenn.) cop per lead runs through the western Dor- tion of the county a distance of twenty.! odd miles, but has been developed but little.... ' .... ; . "A gold an argentiferous galena lead extends East and West through the county, and quartz ; taken from this lead on the No. 6' property, lo cated one and a half miles from Mur phy, assayed over $500 in silver and more than $10,000 in gold per ton, but of course nothing in comparison to the extent of rfchness is claimed for even the very best ore in quality we simply mention this item because it is true. .: ,."-. - - - , ' ; -v. -:t Three properties located oar Valley river - containing . placer - gold have been, most successfully operated for several years on a large scale by well equipped and ; systematic hydraulic process, and many thousand .penny? weights "of the precious metal .have been secured therefrom." ' . - j :". Cherokee is triangular v in form, about fifty, miles long from east to west, averaging . about, .thirty miles in width, and we rdoubt-if there is another bit of territory: on the con tinent of equal, area which can pre sent a finer array of wealth-producing resources. The surprising thing is that in this wealth-pursuing age they have been so long neglected. . ISome men: object ;. to- familiarities on short, acquaintance. A Pennsyl vania farmer standing in some high grass admiring it, t felt something"! coiling around . his legs and look ing down saw a whopping big black- snake climbing up him. With a stick he had jn his-hand he smote that snake - until it uncoiled and made for a tree neafby, up which it climbed. But the farmer, who was mad, also climbed, followed that snake out on a limband pound- Led it into a helpless cripple, when it tnmbled from its perch.' It was nearly seven anT a half feet long. American feather is now competing successfully with German leather in Germany', and is in such demand that the German - leather makers want a. higher tariff put on leather to protect them. Instead of helping American leather makers, by giving them the benefit of tariff-free hides, the Dingley tariff taxes hides; and and gives the leather makers an alleged offset by. taxing imported leather. That's the way they build up foreign trade. CU.RRRNT COMMENT. It is announced "that up to the present the prosecution of Mr. Neely has cost the government $50, 000. Considering the fact that' he has not been prosecuted, Mr. Neely is a high-priced man. Washington Postt ind- ; There are mountains of iron ore in Texas This fact makes very interesting the problem whether the Texas oil can be successfully used in turning the ore into pig iron, or finished forms of iron and steel. Philadelphia Record, Denu The city of Johannesburg, along with the whole Rand district, has fearfully shrunk in population and business. Whereas the district, before the Boer war, contained 250, 000 white and 300,000 black popu lation, there are now about 20,000 whites exclusive of troops and possi bly 100,000 "Kaffirs," employed in all sorts of work, at the mines, on the railroads, etc. It will probably require ten years to restore the dis trict to its one time prosperity. Cliattanooga Times, Ind ' The health conditions of Havana are better than ever before in the history -of that city, as the ..esult of the skillful, intelligent and persistent work of United States Army officers. From a breeding place ff yellow fever it has been transformed into a cleanly, habita ble place. There has not been a fresh case of yellow fever in Havana in two months, and there is not a case in any other section of jthe island. So satisfactory is the situa tion that the marine hospital corps at Havana has recommended that the quarantine be-raised on passen gers from Cuba to points north of the southern boundary of Cuba.

LIFE IS GROWING LONGER. g4a.ttatle Show m Great Increase In tna Spaa of Existence. From statistics and the result of cer tain changes in the methods of living we can safely affirm that the span, of life is steadily lengthening. Three thousand years before the Christian era the aver age duration of life was said to be three score years and ten. This would make middle age come at 35. Dante considered that year the middle of life's arch, and Montaigne, speaking for himself at the same period- of life, considered his real work practically ended and proved that he thought he was growing old by falling into- the reminiscent age. At the present time 50 years is consid ered as middle age. In the days of the Revolutionary war prominent men at that time were looked upon as old at 50 years. We are justified in supposing that the span of human life will be pro longed in the future because the possi bility of living to an older age has been demonstrated, by the great advances made in medicine and hygiene during the past ten years. We have attained a vast amount of knowledge as to the causes of disease, and new remedies for their successful treatment have been discovered. We have no new diseases, at least of any serious character, and we are better able to treat tbe old. ones, which, like old foes, appear to us with new faces. One of the most interesting and trust worthy statements in respect to old age is the. report of the habits of centena rians, made some years ago by a com mission appointed by the British Medical association. Without going into particu lars of the different cases, it is valuable to note generally the result of this In vestigation. It seems that most of these old people were small or medium of stature and of spare habit of body. The voice was rarely feeble. Most of . them had lost their teeth, but nearly :all of them enjoy ed good digestion, one old man of 98, a clergyman, placing his hand on the orgai ' in . question and saying, .that he nevei knew what it . was to have a - stomach. Nearly -all of them had enjoyed uuinter- rupted good health, and many bad nevei known what it was to be sick. They were all very moderate in eat ing, most of them using little animal food. Few indulged at all in intoxicating - drinks and those only In notable modera tion. They took considerable outdoor exercise, and nearly all possessed tbe good natnred. placid disposition.
