The new Constitution adopted a few peat-«sage provided that after January 1. 2.298, no resident of that State should be permitted to vote who could not read any part of the Constitution of the State presented to him, unless he owned $310 in taxable property and had paid the taxes thereon. Three experiments were made in universal suffrage where the negrocs dominated the whites, says the Phila: delphia Times. They were made in the District of Columbia, in South Caro- lina and in Mississippi, and in eacq it soon became an absolute necessity to limit the franchise to give security to both person and property. In Missis— sippl and South Carolina the ignorant voter is disfranchised by the funda- mental law, and that means that the colored vote ceases to be afactor in those States. It goes without saying that as a rule, the law will be strictly enforced with the blacks, and generous- 1y enforced with the. whites. The first great victory won for uni- versal sulfrage and the enfranchise- ment of the colored voter regardless of intelligence of‘condition, was made in the District of Columbia, a Re- public-an Congress and President or' when ganized a Territoria government, with a Legislature chosen by popular suf- frage and a Governor appointed by the President, to govern the District, sub ject to the supervision of Congress as are the laws of all Territories. It re- nail-ed butafew years to compel the property holders of W'ashington, re- gardless of party, to rise up in rebellion against the ignorant colored rule of the capital. Debauchery ran riot, bewild- ering profiigacy prevailed, the great capital of the country wasyuled by ignorant voters. and the progress of the city halted. The issue had to be faced by a Republican Congress and President, whether universal suffrage should be overthrown or whether in- vestments and population should be driven from \Vashington. It was a bitter confession to make, but aRe- publican Senate and Congress was com- pelled to confess the failure of ignorant suffrage by the repeal of the Territori- al organization of the District, and re- storing it to the immediate care of (3011-.1 3111553. Thus the first experiment made to give a trial to 'un iversal suffrage where hating. was made by a Republican ad- ministration and C(mgress in VVashing- ton. and a like Republican administra- tion and Congress were compelled to abolish the universal suli‘rage they had inaugurated. and confess its failure to the country and the worltL'zBW’ith this high example of the leading represen— tatives of the party at the national cap- ital. Mississippi and South Carolina followed on I lines, in practically disfranchising the entirely constitutional, colored vote in two States where it is largely in the majority. It was an III.- perious necessity to assure safety to property in these States, and safety to person as well; and while political par- tisans and organs will criticise the at- titude of Mississippi and South Caro- lina in following the example of the Republican President and Congress, the supreme conditions which dictated the. action in those States will be gen- erally appreciated by all who want free goVernmcnt and enlightened progress. _F-.-.._____ Living Without a Stomach. Among all the startling discoveries that are being made in these later years —apd all seem to be in the line of , skill in surgery. In this vitally im- portant field of medical science the progress, during the last fifty or sixty years, and especially within the last thirty years, has been' really wonder- ful. Mechanical skill and ingenuity may be said to have contributed a. very important co-operative part to this ad- vancement, as in the improved ways of making artificial limbs. and appliances for hernia. etc., all of which go to the relief of great disabilities and suffer- ing; but the main advanc‘e seems to be in the surgeon’s art itself. Operations for the removal of internal tumors, and for other diseases that were formerly deemed incurable, are now frequently and successfully performed in almost every hospital. Some of these are of a most daring character, and some of the most hazardous (not to say seem- ingly impossible) of these have been brilliantly successful. Much of this success has been due to the far greater modern care and pains to secure abso- lutely antiseptic conditions. The doctors, like other scientists, have learned, at last, the reality of at least one domain of fine and invisible forces, and their fatal potency under certain conditions, and they have learned, too, the way to render these invisible. germs harmless. There are other great realities in the (to us) in- visible world ~of intangible facts, and forces which are probably destined to be revealed more fully. Meantime the progress in surgery is marked by such brilliant triumphs as the successful re- moval of diseased portions of the brain; the lifting out, washing, and replacing of the greater part of the abdominal viscera; and many other surprising successes in operations hitherto deemed too hazardous to attempt. A success- ful case of trephining for apoplely has just been performed in a New York hospital. The dying man’s skull was cut open. the efi'used blood from thfi brain was allowed to escape, and the man recovered. Perhaps the most surprising surgical feat ever achieved is related in an ac— count, printed in another column, of the entirely successful removal of a hu- The Medical Record, an influential medical journal in New York, conducted by Dr. publishes the particulars of the case. man stomach. Sch raeder, The daring operation was’perfornied at 'Zurich, Switzerland, by Dr. Carl Sehlat- tar, on the 6th of last September. The patient, a woman 0f56 years, seems to have entirely recovered, and to be in much better health than she was be; fore the operation. The work of digest- ing and assimilating food is performed in the alimentary canal, without any stomach the intestine and the gullet being united, ahd bound together with In the second week after the sutures. operation the patient took solid food, and was soon “up and ch'essed,”and aiding in work about the hospital. The discovery .that the stomach is not a vital organ is an "astonisher” to the medical faculty, and many doctors have visited the Zurich hospital, from all parts of the world, to verify the re- markable case. Hitherto it has been considered impossible for a person to live without a stomach. A ‘ -_ va HOW TO FIND our.
