Two considerations present themselves In connection with this Convention. One Is , >■ fact; the other an allegation. The fact is that the. Convention Is net a fairly rep resentative body.

The charges are that the pres ent Ballot Law has been so exeoutei as to bar out Illiterate cplofed tuters; in ether words, the law Is carried out,as its projectors intended.

II IS asserted by some that while there is no (Jlroot and Immediate Interference with or participation in the affairs of the Conven tion on the part ot representatives of the United States, the fact that the United Stales holds and purposes to exercise the powers of a court of final detcrnalnation upon their actions, very greatly modifies the free dom of action. It Is to be remembered that, by an overwhelming majority, the Conven tion mainly consists of and represents an element which Is hostile, not alone to Amer ican government, but. In marked degree, to Americans as a people. A considerable num- . her of the delegates. If given an absolutely unqualified freedom, would vote for the Im mediate withdrawal ot every trace of Amer- tcan officialdom. Such a withdrawal might not be entirely Inconsistent with American pledges, but It would surely be disastrous. Upon an assumption that peace and order are npw fairly established, and that inde pendence bos been quite definitely pledged, there are those of the more radical Cubans Who question America’s right to assume and appease an element whlc has threatened to become unruly unless giv en a wide .recognition, the Interests of ...really more Important element have been ■' too greatly Ignored. This element of Ou- dispOsed toward the United States In the earlier days. It Is true that many of those who compose It were In favor ol annexation Or an American protectorate, conditions which America could not even recognize because of her pledges. But aside from that they believed in American plans, purposes, and methods. They were ready with all their support. The other element, that to which the Administration has almost trucltled, un grateful for the help extended In the fur therance of Its alms, has not been and is not i reasonably friendly toward that Virginia eleotlonf politics of this State will attempt to aeny. Under the present ballot system, a jddge ol election Is compelled to, aid any Illiter ate voter who asks for help. • The Judge In giving this help will pjRoyent the negTo from voting the ticket of his choice. Tho man ner ol operation Is shown by the Bloh- mond n«ics, which, both In 1898 and 1900, refused to support Bryan. The paper an nounces that It has received from \an en tirely reliable citizen\ the document print ed, below. \He .tells us that he has seen the original, and that It Is In the handwriting of the Chairman, of the Deinooratlc party for the county In which It was circulated. Our Informant tells Us also that several Democratic judges of election In the county referred to admit that they received copies ol the document prior to the election.” My Pear ----- ; Was up In your neighborhood some days ago and was sorry did not have an oppor tunity ot seeing you. Wanted a talk with you in regard to the duties of ticket-mark ers. In this election under the present elec tion law that duty Is In short—that the law bs construed strictly. No deviation there from should be made by a Democratic 'judge In behalf of Republican voters. Of courle, however, he can range If he would In ^bts regard. As to Democrats he can ol course exercise his own sweet will. In this elec tion'we vote fpr electors and not for Presi dent and Vice-President, and under the law it Is the duty of the Judge, When they ask, him to vote them for MoK ---- and R ------ to say to them accordingly that you don’t vote for President, but for electors, I will read \ the .electors to you and If you will tell which you want to vote lor I will show you where to mark. II he can’t tell and asks you to mark his ballot, toll him tbit you will mark It right and then mark it like your own. It Is supposed that every one votes according to his idea of right. I would not put a pen to a ticket unless Instmoted by the voter to do so, and then I would vote him RIGHT. Ol course, I assume that a Democratic Judge knows right from wrong in this election, and where no mention is made of Congress the best man I s ---- - — and we should vote, every voter, for tho best man possible. I hope that you will keet> __ i posslL, these points law a strict mind and give the election istruotlon, which done 1 feel sure that ------- precinct will give a nice Democratic miajorlty In this election. Trust ing you are well, I am, with best wishes. Very truly your friend, Dem. Co. Chairman. Frauds of this kind are now carried so far that the whites are suffering from them. Accordingly, the proposal Is now made to, amend the Constitution, so as to dlsfrah- ohlse the Illiterate negroes. An extra ses sion of the Legislature has been called for JanuaiT 25, In order to arrange for a Con stitutional ConvenOTn. With the colored man out of tho way, and negro domination an Impossibility, the whites are likely to break Into two parties —a tendency observable elsewhere in the South.. . . GOVEnKMENT* foundation. That Is the element of the Qu- han Constitutional Convention. AMERICAN POSraON INCONSISTENT. Because of tho utter lack of a well-defin ed policy in American relations with these outlying islands In which wo have now be come BO closely concerned, a striking sit uation arises, glaringly inconsistent. Both Cuba and the,Philippines have their.Insur- reoto parties. The party of Agulnaldo In ' the Philippines, In Its general purpose and policy, is. In Cuba, the party of Maximo Go mez, Manuel Sangiillly, Juan Gnalberto Go mez, Salvador Cisneros, JosS Lacrot, et al. That party. In the Philippines, we seek to suppress I'i et armis, although It Is the ma jority party. We denounce It as all sorts ol rascality and unworthlness. In Cuba, we cater to it. Wo recognize It above all else in the island, although It Is not the major ity. We organize It Into a Constitutional , convention. We may have a string tied to It, B^d the string may bo visible to the naked eyV{, but, theoretically at least, wo vest it witfiYPowers for tho determination and the cstabllphment of the Island’s future. This Jnnus policy, ■which presents a smil ing and an encouraging face to the Cuban Insurrecto, and a scowling face to the Fili pino insurreoto, has not proved a distin guished success in .either case. In the Phil ippines, It wins no friends. In Cuba, It makes enemies of those most ready and best able to help us by coSporatlon In steps taken In endorsement of a pledge. From those upon whoim the snibes now rest, we may look for no help. They only want us gone from their land, bag and baggage. We interfere with their plans and purposes. To-day, this non-representative body, or ganized In. the light of the Janus' smile, fritters away time In wrangling over trlv- lalliles, over the construction of sentences and the use ot words In documents Of 'no serloUi Importance. It talks for a day or two over the question of open or secret . sessions. Its members draw ?3O0 pay per month, with an additional allowanee for expenses. Their deliberations excite llttlp interest, no enthusiasm, add much orltl- ciam. They control their supporters with a military hand, and their opponents do trust them. That appears to be the Con stitutional Conventton which A-naerlca has given to Cuba. It la no'W bloslug the third week of Its session, and It Is n o t yet Sven organized. Charges of fraud and Irregu larity In Its election ha've rather been ad^ mltted than disproved. Few in Havana ven ture even guessing at Its outcome.. AtbBM G. ROBINSdN. BY BICH MEN OB POOB To THE E ditor of T he E vening P ost ; S ir ; In tho Eventnff Po$t of November 14 Mr. Saxton of Brooklyn suggestively dis cusses ‘government by rich men. An Intel ligent constituency will not seek rich men because rich for administrators or legis lators; no more will they seek poor men. The primary test of an official should bs fitness and character. If a choice needs to be made between the rich and the poor, thO fair presumption would favor the rich. If the wealthy man has won his riches, the possession Is proof of power, energy, and thrift. If he Inherited wealth and careS for It prudently, that Is evidence of capaci ty for business. If such rich man Is honor able and direct In his business relations, he is worthy. This practical test Is not new. Twenty- three hundred years ago, and more, as He rodotus records, a notable Instance of Its application occurred. In tho Fifth Book of the ’’Father of History,” he relates hoV? the Parians ‘'reconelled the Milesians, who for two generations had suffered excessive ly from seditions,\ to wit: Sec. 29. IVhen their most eminent men [Parians] arrived at Miletus, as they saw their CMllesian] private affairs In a dread ful state, they said that they wished to go through their whole country; and, In do ing this, and going through all Milesla, wheresoover they saw In the devastated country any land well cultivated, they wrote down the name of the proprietor. And, hav ing traversed the whole country, and found but few such, as soon as they came down to tho city they called an assembly, and appointed to govern the city those persons whose land's they had found well cultivated; tor, they said, they thought they would ad- inlnlster the public affairs as well as they had done their own. Tbe rest ol the Mile sians, who before had been split into fac tions, they ordered to obey them. Thus tho Parians reconciled the Milesians. Suppose the same course were to be taken In Cuba, in Potto Rico, and the Philippines, the several peoples might be successfully reconciled. Mr. Saxton also gives a hew rendering ol Mr. William H. Vanderbilt’s famous epi gram, \The people be d—d,\ Having, by for tunate accident, heard the true story, I will, state It, because It Is the fact, and because It shows Mr. Vanderbilt In another light. The Interviewing reporter who drew the remark was Mr. Dresser, since deceased. He was sent to meet Mr, Vanderbilt and got an Interview. He was kindly received, treated with courte'sy, but tho Interview Was firmly refused.^ Mm Dresser modestly pleaded bis case and said, among other things, that the public had ah Interest and should be recognized. Thereupon. Mr. Van derbilt replied: \The public be dL-d.” The Spirit of the reply w^a^ quite nnuks that which has since been glvfen to It. AS TO T H E J E SUITS.

A lexa nder H arvey . ’ New York, November ea ' ' rSpcclal Oomspoodenco of The Erenlns Foit.] M adrid , November ll.—Spaln has bad a scare that has been a puzzle to not a lew Spaniards. The majority ol his Catholic Majesty's subjects had not recovered from the unfavorable Impression caused by their recent Ministerial crisis and by the revival of military Influences In their politics, when Carllst scare waS' sprung upon them on th^toutsklrts of the capital of Catalonia; that ll|f tp say, their most populous and In dustries city, three-quarters of whose 600,- OOO InhYiltants are well known to be Re- publlcaili and Socialists, -Ivlth a sprinkling of Anarchlsls. Nobody can understand what possessed a- handful ol Oarllsts to suppose that they could unfurl the flag of the Pretender with any probability of success In sight of a gar rison of several thousand soldiers backed by a strong force of mounted ancl loot police who were pretty certain to have the passive support of the democratic working olasBBB, ot the prosperous middle classes, equally tainted with republicanism,' and ol the famous Catalan plutocracy ol manufac turers and financiers. People w lir tell , you that tbe thirty Carllsts at Badalona wanted In the first place to create a sensation by as saulting tbe barracks of the sturdy civil guards, who responded by volleys that killed the Carllst chief, wounded two men, and scattered the rest quickly, In the Second place, they will tell you that the Carllsts hoped to set fire to a mine they knew to have been prepared for a long time past with, a view to making Catalonia once more the starting-point of a Carllst rising that would spread far and wide across the penlneula. This first outbreak was rapidly followed by the appearance of equally diminutive bands In Berga, Tynalada, Tlgll, Mauresa, old haunts and still hotbeds ot Carllsm, where several hundred volunteers rushed about crying \Viva Carlo Setemo!\ and displayed their uniforms, their Mauser and Lebel mus kets, their plentiful ammunition, and an un usual proportion of offloers bearing commis sions ol tho exiled prince, who claims to be tho rightful representative ol \Dios patrla y Rey.\ Tho Inhabitants, though almost all Carllsts to the backbone, looked on without showing any disposition to compromise them selves otherwise than In giving food, lodg ings, Information, and, later on, hiding- places to the Carllsts In arms when tho dreaded civil guards appeared on the scene, swift and stern In repression, killing, wound ing, capturing, or scattering the members of the Carllst forlorn hope. TYoops turned up after the civil guard had accounted lor the Catalan bands, and scoured the country, watched the frontier roads and passes,, and fretted at finding no foe, nothing bat arms, ammunition, and uniforms abandoned by the fugitive^. Then began what soldiers, call the dirty part of tho work, and would fain have left to the Indefatigable and relentless civil guard, the search lor accomplices; the domi ciliary visits, the arrests ot suspebts, the dragging to prison ol noted Carllsts, the seizure of documents and correspondence, the closing ot Carllst clubs and ol the edi torial olficea of tbolr papers; last, but not least, the arrest of priests Imjlltcated In' the conspiracy and propaganda. THE OARI.IST ORGANISATION, In less than four days tho authorities of Catalonia, and particularly of Barcelona, lit upon such an amount ol disclosures ot tho extent and Importance of the Carllst con spiracy and preparations, that the Govern ment determined to put tho whole kingdom under the 'extraordinary regime that had been established In the four Catalan prov inces for a twelvemonth past on account ol the Catalanlst, reglonallst, and separatist agitations. The Ministers assembled, not at tho Premier's usual official residence, but at hla private residence, where they unani mously decided to draw up a royal decree that was kept secret until the Queen had' signed It, and until tbe text bad been sent late at night to tho royal printers for publi cation In tho next day’s Gazelle. The royal decree of November, 1900, suspended all the articles of tho Constitution ol tho monarchy that guarantee the rights and liberties of the subject, and was tantamount to a suspension of the habeas corpus act In England and to the proclamation of mar tial law. This Castilian procedure Inveats the military, civil, and' judicial authorities with dictatorial powers, and with tho right to hand over to the military courts all of fenders against public peace. On the same day a circular of the Home Secretary and Instructions from the War Olfice wore tele graphed to the provincial authorities, order- ■ Ing them to maintain tranquillity at any cost, and to suppress all Carllst clubs, commit tees, newspapers, demonstrations, pilgrim ages, and propaganda, and to arrest Im mediately all tbe members of the Carllst Intolerance, against all the tendencies of modern progress, even’ iu Spain. The query and any persons known to have aided, or suspected of having aided the Carl- ist preparations In two years past, The authorities seem to have acted with rapidity In most of the prov inces, as they lodged In jail hundreds of Oarllsts, mostly belonging to tho upper and middle classes. In less than forty-eight hours. Among the persons arrested, or whose houses were searched for documents, arms, and evidence, were Senators and gnandees of Spain, noblemen and gentlemen of ancient lineage, -writers and Journalists, lawyers and bankers, landowners and farmers, shop keepers and merchants, members of Con gress and of tbe provincial and municipal i, and no less than ninety priests. Among the latter were nnclla. Mayors and hree pa landed military jurisdiction, owing to the serloua nature ol tho documents In his possession. Among tho priests arrested In many provinces, and even In* large towns, were deans of cathedrals, canons, and chaplains of hospitals and asylums. Curiously enough, the authorities discovered that about twenty ol tho hrlcsts arrested and whose houses were searched had been Carllst officers In tbe civil war a quarter of a Century ago. The search mado In the houses ot most Carllsts produced comparatively tittle evi dence, as they had taken precautions on the news ol the outbreak. Many of tbe prominent leaders, men like the Marquis of Cerralbe, Count Carasola, Duke Splferino, several Seqators and Deputies, Gen. Oavero, and about jlfty other Carllst ex-offleors, had already hoited when the police sought for thein. They had put tho Pyrei thoih ahfl the public prosecutbr. Tl In fact, quit© an Interesting expd'us of Carllsts all along the Bh-enoh side of the Pyrenees, where, as usual, the French repub lican authorities affect to know and see no thing, and allow the territory of the re public to be made a, very nest of con st the peace and the'lnstltutlons APATHY OF THE GOVERN’MENT. At first, people Were startled and much concerned at the armed protest of the par tisans of absolute monarchy, of the so- called divine right of kings, and of religious was whether this rising really wa the premature, nnauthorizod, and hasty at tempt of Impatient followers of the Pretend er, or Whether the small bands of Cata lonia and Alicante were signs of tho vast OTganlzatlon and conspiracy so often denounced for years past by the Liberals and Republicans. The Liiboral and -Repub lican papers bitterly reproached the Cabi nets of the Regency with having, since 1882, winked at the Carllst preparations, and with having promoted the growth of the Ultra montane and Clerical Inffiuences that have so powerfully oontrlhuted to the reorgarilza- tlqn and Increase of the Carllst forces. They directed attention to the fact that though the Jesuit colleges, setnlnarloa, universi ties, the houses ot the religious orders of both sexes were known to bo hotbeds of Carllsta, hot a slngfe domiciliary visit was made to them. Not a friar or Jesuit was arrested, though ,tboy never take tho trouble to conceal their preferences, and are as deal as the parochial clergy to the lectures that their bishops, the primate, and the nuncio have so often Inflicted upon them regarding the necessity of respecting the powers that be. The Liberal and Re publican papers and Independent organs of public opinion have repeatedly lamented, during this Carllst scare, the profound apathy shown by parties which, on other occasions, whenever Carllsm. threatened the peace of Spain, Instantly gathered round tho GovernJment, tendering their support In ev ery shape possible, This apathy and Indif ference are entirely due to the fact that there Is an absolute lack of confidence In the present Conservative and uUra-Cathollc Government and a growing conviction that, as In the case ol tho Conservatives and Ul- tramontanea under Gen, Azearraga and Sll- vela. It Is too near the Carllsts In monarchi cal, religious, and Conservative tenets to be severe with the partisans of the Pretend er when the Immediate probability ot a civil war Is averted. Spaniards know too Well the precedents and the habits of their rulers to believe for a, moment that the Ideas prevalent at court will allow a Con servative and Catholic Government to go to the root ol the Cnrliat evil. Already symp toms are noticed that confirm the misgiv ings ol the Republicans. The Government has Instructed the authorities of most of the provinces outside Catalonia to liberate the Carllsts arrested during the scare, and to allow those exiled 200 miles from their residences to go homo without bail for their good behavior. The Homo Secretary has Intimated that he will continue lor a while the Buspe win have reappear, and the Carllst clubs opened, as soon as the liberties of the sub jects are reBstabllshed. SUSMCIOUS FBATDRB3. \'Net- the least Interesting feature,of the sifuation has h^en the attitude 6t the Carl- inta themSel-Ves in the scare. At the outset the Carllst papers showed reserve, evidently awaiting Instructions. The same perplexity and hesitation were apparent In the upper ranks of Carllsm, though many of their leaders vanished from their usual haunts, or made rapidly for the frontier, some being caught on the way, like Baron de Sangarren and his three compeers a t Bilbao, and others In .Catalonia. Other Carllsts of note re mained In Spain and confronted arrest and domiciliary visits, putting on boldly the airs ol men who would not have and never had anything to do with the wild fellows who had made, they said, an unauthorized, ridiculous, lamentable, rising In Catalonia and Alicante. The Carllst fugitives and exiles in France also disowned and condemned the Catalan forlorn hope, but like their tellow-Carllsts In Spain they declared that the rising was premature and regrettable because It dam aged the prospects ot n long-matured plan. Lastly, Don Carlos himself stepped In so. tardily that the general Impression In Spain Was that he bad- waited until he could ascer tain If tbe rash attempt of some of his Catalan followers would find a response In other supposed strongholds of his cause. His letter to the chief ol his partisans In Catalonia, Moore, and his declarations to Spanish correspondents who hurried to Ven ice to interview him, can leave no doubt that be had harbored designs against the ponce of Spain, \and that he relinquishes neither his alleged rights nor the intention to vindi cate them by force when ho shall deem it expedient and convenient,” while he stig matizes as traitors the foolhardy vanguard that risked their lives In Catalonia. Tho Pretender has been advised evidently to snap at tho report flouted In Spain and abroad, hut believed In by not a few Spaniards, that the Catalan Carllsts who rose In arms had been well paid to go out and thus play Into the hands of powerful flnanclors In Bar celona, Madrid, and Paris, who had con certed an operation for a fall In Spanish stocks for tho October account. The Madrid press calls upon the Government and Par liament to make an inexorable and search ing Investigation Into the origin ol these persistent rumors. Tho Ministers have up to the present justlfica their attitude and their policy of quick repression and precau tions,. saying that no Bourse manmuvres could have organized or prepared the wide spread and formidable conspiracy that they pride themselves In having so thoroughly and completely checked. Skeptics, and their naiiia' Is legion just noW In Spain, think that the Pretender and the Carllsts are not all displeased to hear that tho responsible coun cillors of the Alfonelst branch of the Bour bons seem to attach such Importance to a premature movement. —Attempt i between on Thera la. lU' Great Britain mr UKIFORM EffTRANCE ffORK.

Ol Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States find Maryland began Its two- days* session this morning In McKean Hall of the University of Pennsylvania. The most Important business of the day was a report Which Prof. Nicholas Murray Butler of Co lumbia University offered from the Commit tee on Uniform Entrance Examinations, He announced that the Tesolutlons passed by the association last December had been act ed upon by the colleges, that a college en trance examination hoard Is now In exist ence, and that It plans to hold the first series of uniform college admission ex aminations during the week beginning Mon day, June IT, 1901. The report detailed the steps which wore taken to enlist the co operation of colleges having a freshman class of fifty or more members. Princeton expressed willingness to accept the certifi cates, but declined to be represented upon the Board. Colgate and Haverford express ed willingness to accept the certificates, but not having freshman classes ol a t least fif ty, they were not eligible for membership. The Board was finally organized as follows; Barnard College, Acting Dean Robinson; Bryn Mawr College, President Thomas (Vice-Chairman): Columbia College, Presi dent Low (Chairman); Cornell University, Prof. H.
