The process of disfranchise
ing legal voters in those states
that were in rebellion against
the United States from 18G1 to
186(p goes on with increased
momentum,, and widening of
scope. The means employed by
the ruling class down south is to
pass laws diifrancuiseiug all
voters who are not educated in
a degree satisfactory to the
judges of the election board.
These judges are appointed by
the ruling clues. Among the
usual tests put to a voter to
show his ability to read, write
and cipher, the voter is required
'O read any aectiou of the Con
stitution of the United States
which the election judges may
select, and explain it satisfaolory
to the judges. If the' explana
tion is not satisfactory the ap
plicant to vote is declared in
competent to vote and . he is
turned away from the polls, dis
franchised. There is scarcely
a seotion in the Constitution but
that the ablest lawyers in the
nation from Daniel Webster and
Jobu C. Calhoun to those of the
present day have differed as to
its meaning.
To save the illiterate whites
of which there were, in 1900,
illiterate males . of voting age,
518,962 in the southern states,
proviso is made in the disfrau
olusement acts that it does not
apply to persons who bad the
right to vcte during or prior to
the rebellion or the descendants
of such. This proviso makes
the right to vote an hereditary
privilege to the descendants of
all who were voters before the
war, but disfranchises all who
cannot satisfy the j ;dges by
their interpretation of .he Con
stitution of the Unit- d States of
their right to vole, whether they
can read, write, or cipher or
not- It places it in the power
of ihe judges of .election to re
ject the vote or all who became
oitizenB of the United States and
of the slate iu which they resido
by virtue 01 the XIV amend
ment of the Constitution of the
United Stetes, which means the
negroes.
There were, in 1900, negro
males, 21 yeurs old and over, in
the south, 1,815,380. But the
negroes are not all of the popu
lation that are under the ban of
disfranchisement but it includes
all who bad not the right to vote
during or prior to the rebellion,
this includes all foreign born
citizens who did not become
naturalized before or during the
war or their descendants. Of
this cl ins thero are at lea-l 100,
000 men now in thu south.
This placing tho foreign born or
their descendants in the clas9
whose votes can be received only
by the grace of tho judges of

Grande Ronde Valley Fruit Farm
The Grande Ronde valley fruit farm
contains 320 acies, and is to be sold in
lots of of ten lots and an J up, to suit
tho purobaser. It is situated eight mil
es north-east of La Grande, Oregon,
near the Elgin branch of the O. R. ,$ N.
aiiroad.
We furnish the purchaser, at the end
of three years, a thrifty growing apple
orchard, one that has been cared for
from setting, in the moat approved
manner, cultivating the land six or
eight times a year, keeping the giound
well pulverized, and at all times free
from weeds, grass and otlior vegetation
May 1st and August 15th of each year;
keeping tho trees pruned in the most
scientific manner; removing and burn
ing all cuttings and suckers, and in
short, do any and all work which will
be f ir tho beet interest of the trees. We
replant all trees that may die in the
llret, second and third years, and pay
all taxes for three years. We furnish
the Inud, labor ami material, and trees,
and three years' care, at the price of
$135 per acre, giving three years In
which to pay for it.
Our terms of payment are 5G per cent
of purchase price, cash; balance in
three yearly payments, bearing interest
at Ihe rates of 6 ;er cent per annum.
The purchaser can remain where ho
is, make no immediate si. .Inge in his
business or home Interests, making his
present business pay for his investment,
sacrificing no time while tho orchard is
being brought into bearing condition,
and rest assured that skilled horlicul
turalists will do the work beitcr than
he can unless he has had horticultural
experience under conditions existing in
Oregon. After trees have had scientific
care, pruuing and shaping for three
years, the subsequent work is much
more methodical and can be success
fully done by thuse without horticul
tural skill.
