ong The attempt to disfrancbise the negro in South Carolina is being met with a wild howl from a class of Protective Association by name. It | Heavy ants) people which is very loud-lunged in | declares in favor of good roads, and | its protestations of friendship for the vegroes of the South, but whose |age of earnings from corporations | alleged philanthropic professions have seldom brought forth more than talk. Recognizing the fact that negro domination threatens South Carolina, its people are determined that the disgraceful state of govern- mental affairs which so ignomiously branded Federal rule in the South after the war shall never occur again. South Carolinians are brought face to face with a proposition which the educated Northern “friends of the negro” are very prone to write about in magazines; that proposition is the domination of pelitical affairs by the votes of uneducated and illiterate people. From no quarter of the country has come more discussion of the ed- ucational qualification for voting than from the writers of New En- gland. Many of them would add a property qualification also. Yet when South Carolina attempts to accomplish what they have advocat- ed the uproar again arises and the “friends of the negro are again to arms.” In the long run the Constitutional convention will probably accomplish more for the good of the South Car- olina negro than a million of these hypocritical philanthropists. If an educational and property qualifica is required for full eitizenship. In place of the mght to vote being a common and abused thing it will be- come a privilege which it will be an honor to enjoy and take its rightfull position in the minds of men. It will stir up the ambition of the illi- terate class and rouse men to work better themselves. Voting negroes will claim and rightfully hold a sue perior position among their fellows. Others will aspire to the same posi tion and inthe end it will lift the average of intelligence materially, and aid the negro in taking a higher place in all spheres of business and political life. South Carolina, never backward in the cause of what it believed to be right, is taking the lead in this im portant matter. Other Southern states may follow her example. In the meanwhile, consistency and good taste would demand silence upon the part of the howlers. The people of the South have proved to be true friends to the race. They have pro- vided the educational facilities where- with to lift the illiterate and ignor- ant of that class to the leyel of in- telligence of the average American. It is for them to say what is best to be done; for the good will which they have shown and the intimate knowledge of the conditions render leng distance abuse not only super- fluous but ridiculous —Kansas City Times. Massachusetts Democratic Ticket. Geo. F. Williams James 8. Grinnell Edward J. Flynn Treasurer... .-Eben 8. Stevens Att’y General........ Henry F. Hurlbut Auditor... Alfred C. Whitney Worchester, Mass., Oct. 2—The Massachusetts Democratic State Convention met to-day in Mechanics’ Hall. Hon Josiah Quincy was elect- ed permanent Chairman addressed the Convention for about an hour, discussing the issues betweent the Republican and Democratic parties. The slate as agreed upon went through without opposition. The platform adopted commends the present National Administration for its conduct of foreign affairs and congratulates the manufacturing interests of the new tariff,regretting that the bill as originally framed by the Democratic leaders, was not in force, and denounces the efforts of the Republican party to reopen this question. It demands a maintenance of the existing gold standard, and opposes the free coinage of silver and the further purchase of silver bullion, and demands that the Government shall retire its paper money. It favors the grant to the Secre- tary of the Treasury of the power to make short term loans to maintain the gold balance of the treasury. It tenders to President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle the thanks ef the Democratic party of Massachusetts for their position on the financial Governor Lieut. Governor.

The estimated per cent in favor of a short cumpaign is low. The busi- ness men would be a unit on the subject. A presidential campaign is a distributing factor in business. It is a period of unrest, uncertainty and unnatural excitment.

The men who live by politics of course want a long campaign—the longer the better. Our usual campaigns of four and five months are absurdly burden- some on the candidates and the pev- ple.

C., Oct. 2.—Sec- retary Olney to duy received the fol- lowing cablegram from United States Minister Terrell, at Constan- tinople: “Monday several hundred Armen- ians marched on the Porte, profess- edly to ask redress of grievances. The Patriarch tried to prevent it. A conflict occurred between the Ar- menians and the police. Probably about sixty Turks and Armenians were killed, among others a Turkish Major. Many were wounded. The Armenians carried pistols. Yesterday several {more were killed. Last night eighty were killed and sev eral hundred imprisoned. The Porte had notice of the demonstra- tion, which, they say, was organ- ized by leaders of Hunchargist revolutionists, whom they had cap- tured. Much terror exists. I think the Porte will be able to resist fan- aticism.” John Teel Dead. Nevada, Mo., Oct. 3.—Ex Repre- sentative John Teel of Lawrence county died at the Nevada asylum this morning. Mr. Teel was brought to the asylum early last spring asa private patient. A few weeks before this his mind became unbalanced while he was in St. Louis. Mr. Teel was a lawyer and a prominent Dem- ocratic politician. He was a mem- ber ef the State Legislature at the time the asylum was located here and during the time he was under treatment here he frequently refer- red to the fact that he had assisted in lecating it in this city. He was very popular famong his people at Mt. Vernon, and was highly esteem- ed all over the State as an able and upright man. His body was ship- ped to Rushville, Ill, where his wife has made her home with rela- tives since her husband was sent te the asylum. Gen. Miles is one of the few army officers whe never received a West! Point education. When the civil war broke out he was a clerk ina Boston dry goods store, measuring | off calico on a salary that barely sufficed to pay his living expenses. He entered the volunteer service as a Second Lieutenant in the 22d} Massachusetts Regiment, and rose rapidly to a coloneley.
