still in question, and frank statement of
the issue may aid in its solution. 1t is al
lodged that in many communities negro
citizens are practically denied the freedom
of the ballot. In 81 far as the truth of
this allegation is admitted, it is answered
that in many places honest local govern
ment is impossible if the mass Of un9du-
Gated negroes are allowed to vote. These
are grave allegations. So far as the latter
is true, it is the only palliation that can
be offered for opposing the freedom OF the
ballot. Bad local government is certainly
great evil which ought to be prevented
but to violate the freedom and sanctity of
the suffrage is more than an evil; it is a
crime which, if persisted in, will destroy
the government itself. Suicide is not a
remedy. If in other lands it be high trea-
son to compass the death of king. it
should be counted no less crime here to
strangle our sovereign power and stifie its
voice.
1t has been said that unsettled questions
have no pity for the repose of nations. II
should be said with the utmost emphasis
that this question of the suffrage will new
er give repose OF safety to the States
or the nation until each within its own ju.

and pure by the strong sanctions Of the

covers field far wider than that of negro
suffrage and the present condition OF that
race. 1t Is danger that turks and hides
in the sources and fountains of power. In

to measure the disaster that may be

Great Newspaper Rivalry.

"Thirty-fve years ago." writes James
Parton in the New York Ledger, "the
point of competition with the New
York papers was to be the first to pub
lish the English steamers news. To
accomplish this exertions were made
that have probably never been surpassed
in the history of the daily press. The
moment steamer was sighted at Hall
fax horse was saddled and the ex-
press rider prepared to mount. A
parcel was thrown from the steamers
deck, and away the rider sped with it
across Nova Scotia to the Bay of Fundy.
Thence the precious packet and its
bearer were carried in swift steamboat
to Portland. Between Portland and
New York the messenger travelled by
horse, by buggy, by steamboat and by
such bits of railroad as were then com
pleted, and SO the news sometimes
reached New York fifteen hours before
the steamer reached Boston. The ex-
press frequently cost as much as So, 600,
which was shared usually among a half
dozen newspapers of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia.
"And the worst of it was that few
newspapers would sometimes incur this
great expense and be beaten after all.
There was one memorable occasion
when the Tribune and the Herald ran
rival expresses from Halifax to York in
the middle Of severe winter, when
Nova Scotia was heaped with snow
drifts, and the Bay Of Fundy was COW
cred with floating ice eighteen inches
thick. The Tribune express made the
distance from Halifax to Boston In
thirty-one hours. From Boston to New
Haven it was mostly conveyed by rail
road.
"'From New Haven, said the 1ri.
bune of the next morning, 1T was brought
hither in four hours and half by oul
ever-trusty rider, Enoch Ward, who
never let's the grass grow to the heels Q.
his horses. He came in little after II
o'clock A. NJ, but the rival express hac
got in two hours earlier, having made
the shortest time from Boston OF
record.
"There were many such mishaps il
those days. Sometimes horse woult
fall lame in the middle of the night
and the rider would be obliged to wax
up farmer and buy another. Occa
sionally the rider himself would Civ
out, lose an hour or two in gettin!
, warmth or rest, and reach New Yorl
, Just in time to hear the boys crying tn
news in an extra Of the rival sheet
{ these expresses made q great stir a
, the time, for the editors did not fail t
, blow the boastful trumpet, and tn
public were gradually worked up to
, high degree of excitement. Bets wer
, made, as in the case of other races, an
/ anecdotes were told of she tricks an

A Poets Ready Wit.

A pleasant incident in tho life of
Oliver Wendell Holmes is related. AT
o country fair for sweet charity's sake
the ever.popular. postoAice was sadly in
need of letteHs,pwhansa lady,n discover
ing the witty poet among theaudience,
requested him to furnish an epistle for
the occasion. Quick as thought he took
o sheet of note paper, and between its
folds placed a 81 bank note; turning to
the first page he wrote the following:
Dear lady, whosoe'r thou art,
Turn this poor page with trembling care
But hush, oh hush, thy beating heart,
The one thou lowest will be there.
In obedience to the poets Injunction
the page turned disclosed the attractive
greenback of the value of one dollar,
and to prove the truth of his assertion
he made the following appear on the
opposite page from the bank deposit:
Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
If this is not truthful letter,
This is the one thou lowest well,
And naught (O) would make thee love it be
ter.

Frank Fl. Gushing was sent to New
Mexico by the Smithsonian institute
two years ago to gather information
concerning the Aztecs. He was con-
yinced that most of the accounts previ-
ously given by the Indians as to their
history, religion and customs were pur-
posely false, and therefore resolved to
live among the people themselves in
order to get at the truth. He joined
the Zuins, an isolated tribe, learned their
language, and intends to remain with
them several years longer. A CORE
spondent of the Boston Herald lately
found Mr.. Gushing dressed in the full
costume of the natives, with his long
hair confined by an Indian head band,
and looking quite picturesque savage.
He has become o Zuni chief, second to
one man only in authority, participant
in all their religious rites, and is making
full use of his opportunities to gain in.
formation. He has learned, he says,
that the worship and traditions of Mon
tezuma, so long accepted in Aztec his
tory, have no foundation in fact ; but
the real beliefs and superstitions are
quite as wonderful. He has been init
ated into twelve orders, which have
their priests, mummeries and carefully
guarded secrets of history. Spiritualism
is cardinal belief among those Indians,
and their seances surpass in mystery
those of civilized life. They have a
dead language, which is known only to
the priests, and in it are many songs OF
great antiquity. 1t is in these old
rhymes that he chiefly learns Aztec
history, though he has made some pro.
gress in deciphering the numerous cliff
inscriptions of that region.

A Remarkable Chinaman.

I have received a visit from an en-
lightened individual who is native of
Changsha Fuh, Human Province, and
only thirty-four years old. He told me
that he commenced studying with the
intention of passing through the regular
literary mill, but was unsuccessful at
the examination. He then studied
physic and succeeded i'll remarkable
manner as physician, being able to
tell the nature of any malady by simply
looking at persons face and head. He
does not pretend to feel the pulse, nor
does he ask the nature of the patients
disease or ailing, so he is different to
foreign OF native doctors. His success
full practice of the healing art brought
him into contact with many eminent
persons, and thus he succeeded in OBJ
tanning position as deputy magistrate
in this province. While living at
Chen-tu, awaiting his turn for service,
Hou-poo, he >aw some foreign scientific
books, and studied patiently for three
months the manufacture of foreign
arms by machinery, and he also
became SO successful in his studies
that he was appointed foreman in
the arsenal, and there he progressed
SO rapidly that he surpassed all
the artisans in the establishment,
and finding they had not enough motive
power to do all the work required from
a twenty-four horsepower steam engine,
he made on the premises forty-eight
horsepower turbine wheel, and thus
they now have the power Of seventy-two
horses from two machines instead OF
twenty-four from one, as before. lie
next turned his mind to the manufac-
ture of Martini Henry rifles and has
succeeded in turning out better rifles
than those imported from Europe-the
barrels being made of the best native
iron, moi steel-so the work is going or
rapidly and the Chinese army has now
place to look to for the best arms In the
world. Enfield rifles need no longer bt
used, and the Sniders are but fourth

struments manufp ctureda at Chen-tu. Al

HAN@AAO ON~-~'
Spanish history says that ship sent
to South America in 1900 to collect
tribute from the colonies of Spain was
sunk near the mouth of the Rio de la
Plata, with $9,000,000 aboard. The
money is supposed to lie to-day at the
bottom of the ocean in strong iron
safe. An expedition has sailed from
Philadelphia to recover this treasure.
The leader is Captain Charles A. Jones,
who has already made fortune in the
South American wreckihg business. He
goes in an iron steamship, supplied with
apparatus for removing the deep mud
supposed to cover the dollars.
A correspondent of the London Ne~S
says that "Niko," one of the Greek
brigands who captured Mr.. Suter, the
Englishman, some time ago captured
two young girls, about seventeen years
of age, of different parents, and de-
manded sum of money as ransom for
them. One of the fathers could not
pay in the given time, the other did and
got his daughter back. To the one who
could not pay the body of the daughter
was sent by "Niko" cut up in nine
pieces. The atrocities committed by
this band, he adds, are without a par
allel even in the horrible pages OF
brigandage.
