When geeso tako to drink, tho result

tho process, that tho fruit was unsound,
sho threw tho whole mass out into tho

so they finished all tho cherries off at
ono sitting, so to speak. Tho effect of
tho spirituous fruit wa3 soon apparent,
for in trying to mako tho gate which led
from tho scene of tho debauch to tho

could no't toll, but it Bcemed to tho

high sea running, and tho ground sot
in toward them with a steady strong
swell that was most embarrassing to

somo lashed their rudders nnd hovo to,
others tried to run beforo tho wind.
whilo tho rest tacked for tho pigstyc.
But thero was no living in such wenthor,
and ono by ono lho craft lurched over

tho dumo, the unconscious oauso ol this

in a prodigious flurry offeathor3 and

a frank statement ot tho If sun may aid Its so
lution. It Is alleged that In many communi
ties tho negro citizens aro practically denied
tho freedom of ballot. In so far as tho truth
ot this allegation Is admitted, It Is answered
that In many places honest local government
Is Impossible If tho mass of uneducated ne
groes aro allowed lo vote. Theeo aro grave
allegations. Bo far as tho latter Is the
truth is tho only pallatlon that can
be offered for opposing tho freedom of
tbo ballot. A bod local government Is
certainly a great ovil which ought tojbe pre
vented, llut to violate freedom and the
sanctity of sutfragu is moro than an evil. It
Is a crlmo which, It persisted In, will destroy
tho government Itself. Sulcldo Is not a rem
edy. If In other landn It bo high treason to
compais tho death of a King, It should bo
counted no less a crlmo hero to strunglu our
sovereign power and stlllo Its voico. It has
been said that unsettled questions havo no
pity for tbo rcposo of nations. It should bit
said with tho utmost emphasis, that this
question of sulfrago will not glvo repose or
safety to tho States or to tho nation, until
ach, within Its own Jurisdiction, makes and
keeps the ballot frco aud puro by the strong
sanctions of the law.

lint tho danger which arises from Ignorance
In tbe voter, It cannot bo dented, covers a Meld
far wider than that of negro suffrage and tbe
present condition ot that race, It f s a danger
that lurks and bides In the sources and foun
tains of power In the state. We have nq stand
ard by which to measure the disaster that may
be brought upon us by Ignorance and vice In
citizens, whenjolned to corruptly and fraud
In suffrage. The voters of the union, who
mako and unmake constitutions and upon
whoso will hangs the destiny of ousgov
ernment can transmit their supreme authority
ui uu successor b&viqk uio coming generations
of voters who are tho solo heirs ot sovereign
power. If that question comes to Ita Inheri
tance blinded by Ignnrince and corrupted by
vice, tho fall of tho Republic will be certain
and rcinedllens. Tbo census has already
sounded tbo alarm In appalling figures, which
mark how dangerously high tbo tldo ot Illit
eracy has arlten amoug our voters and thoir
children. To tho South the question Is ot su
preme Importance. IJut tho responsibility for
tho exlstenco ot slavery did not rest upon tho
Bouth alone. ho nation Itself Is respons'blo
for tbo exteuslou of suffrage, and is under
special obligations to aid In removing tbe Illit
eracy which It has added to the voting dodu
latlou of the North and Bouth alike. y
Thoro is butono romody. All tho constitu
tional power ot tbo nation nnd of tho states,
nnd all tbo volunteer forces of tho peoplo
should bo summoned to meet tbls daniror by
the saving Intluenco of universal oducattou.
It Is tho lilnhprlvllego nnd tho sncrcd duty nC
lhoo now Ilvlitfr to cditcato thoir siicccs07i,
