gina.

An intelligent Washington c9rrespon.
dent who appears to be well posted upon
Virginia politics, gives some interesting
facts. In 1870, he says. the voting popu-
lation ofthe State was 26G,6st. Observ-
ing tie proportions of the white ami black
populations, respectively, it may b" as
sumed that there are l55,039 whites and
l1l,64l blacks, twenty-one gears old and
upwards, making white majority OF
1899. TIE Radical vote, including tie
straight-out Democratic element which
could not swallow Mr.. GasELEy, ia down
AT 10 O0c. After making the most liher-
al allowances, the WRITER does not think
that the Conservative majority can fall
below twenty thousand. Most of the mu-
uicipnl elections held recently in theplin
ciyal towns Of Virginia were carried by
the Conservatives, and in all Ct them
the vote indicates that The party strength
is fully maintained.

PENCIL EDITORIALS.

The New York Daily Graphic of the
the 10Th has forcble editorial on the
first page in the form of well drawn
pictorial of Columbia washing her dirty
linen at the Vienna Exhibition. CO.
lumbia is represented by an athletic
female with many stars in her attire,
and bare arms plunged into a huge
washtub, wrestling with garments labeled
"civil service reform" Leet stock
ing custom house" etc. The under
wear already washed out hangs on a
clothes-line overhead, and is adorned
with such expressions as, Put it where
it will do the most good" Credit No
bilier," Industrial Exhibition grab,
Legislative dishonor," " rings, Lou
isiana usurpation," Indian policy"
addition, division and silence, " bril-
berry, treatment Of American seamen,
railroad monopoly" Erie fraud"
and sale of United States commissions
to Vienna" An opposite corner is de-
voted to peculiar American refresh
ments, such as pumpkin pie, pork and
beans, clam chowder and cocktails; and
the American eagle broods over the
American department, and a curious
crowd looks on. The ideas Of the editor
have been happily caught up by the
artist, and expressed more effectively
with the pencil than the pen. The same
number has many other Illustrations Of
ideas, men and events OF the day in
which we live As a newspaper, the
Graphic is complete success without
the pictures, and with these it has thus
far filled its special field without rival
or a precedent in journalism.

CHICAGO, May 22.-During a violent
thunder storm last night the wind sud
denly rose and exhausted itself On
Roberts street, near Van Buren,. before
subsiding. it turned over three newly
finished frame houses, and tore up q
portion Of the sidewalk. One long strip
was torn up and carried across the
street, and violently hurled against the
fence. Another large piece was whirled
along and landed at the corner Of Van
Buren, street Fortunately, no one was
hurt.
It is understood that the general Off
GERS Of the Chicago and Northwestern,

THE FATE OF GEORGE FRANCIS.

The irrepressible George FraneisTraiu
has been duly declared insane by jury
and the court made haste to order him
sent 10 the lunaiic asylum. Train has
more sense doubtless than some OF his
prosecutors, but like all men, he has his
weak points, and unfortunately his ego
tism was too heavy ballast for the judg'
ment in his sails. Many a fool often
masses for man of solid brain by keep
ING his mouth shut; but Train was not
horn such a fool as that. He talked too
much and mistook his superior memory
and yolubility for genius. he has out
talked all mankind, and has to pay the
penalty II he had only made one
speech year the world could have
endured him. But he wanted to be a
MARTYR and President; has been in
thirteen jails, and will now try the asy-
lum. Heretofore it has been joke with
him. and an advertisement for his lee
lures. but going to the lunatic asylum is
more serious business. Playing the
clown and Pagan leader can be carried
too far. as he will find out. And if he
is not exactly crazy except in spots, the
treatment in store for him may soon run
him stark mad for life.

THE MYSTERY OF CAPTAIN HALLS
DEATH.


The death Of Captain Hall, the in
trepid Arctic explorer, although at
tributed to apoplexy, was not satisiac
torily accounted for in the first reports
DR.. Hays, himself an eminent explorer
of the northern regions, gave 1t as his
opinion that death was not likely to
occur from such cause, though he was
very guarded in his expressions. Tbs
fact was well known that Captain Hall
had A disagreement with one Of his sub
ordinate officers in the outset OF
leaving the confines Of the habitable
world. and this difficulty was only settled
when the ship Congress came up with
supplies for the Polaris and her captain
iuterferred. That was about two years
ago. The vessels sailed 10 opposite d.
rections and nothing more was heard OF
CAPTAIN Halls expedition until few
DAYS ago. when the startling news
came OF his death and the return OF
a portion of the officers and crew.
Suspicious Of foul play were excited at
once; but with such meagre details as
at first received via ST. Johns and
the New York Herald, the press gene
rally refrained from comment. The
morning dispatches leave little doubt
that the disagreement between Captain
Hall aud the sailing master, Captain
Buddington, was renewed soon after
they we're out, and that Hall was poi
soaed by his enemy. The motive was
two fold-frst, to get rid Of Capt. Hall,
whom he was afraid to follow to the ex-
IRENE north; secondly, to get control of
the vessel and appropriate to himself all
the honors of the expedition. Hall took
his ship two hundred miles further north
than any other vessel has ever been, and
reached with sledges point as high as
DR.. Kane. he was anxious to sail further,
but Buddington refused to go, and Capt.
Hall could not help himself The ex-
petition seemed to be on the eve of
grand discoveries that would settle one
of the most perplexing geographical
problems of the world; but fate was
against the brave commander. Mutiny
stayed him in the execution Of glorious
plans, which he had pursued for half a
life time, and poison did its fatal work.
Captain Tyson, who brought out the
abandoned party, is quite reticent and
sad, but Joe, the Esquimaux, is free to
say that Hall was poisoned The facts,
however, will sooner or later be brought
to light, and doubtless the guilty to pam
ishment. The Government should at
once send out an expedition to bring
home the Polaris, and have thorough
examination into the whole affair.
