elect Mr. Harris. Mr. Hogan can not
afford 10 do this--he dares not thus
snub his colored childron-they are too nu.
merous and may swamp him. According to
census bulletin No 294 Pulaski county has
colored voting population Of 745 or ma
jority of 1913 Of the Republican vote of 1880.
Mr.. Hogan can not afford to be calous
to the interests of the great majority of his
party. He should quiet the fears of the
colored voters; he should make public pro-
fession of his undying love of the colored
man, evan the colored aspirant for Office in
his own county. He should fall upon Mr..
Harris alabister neck and shed tears of
contrition because of HIS objectionable and
unexplainable GOODNESS toward that young
man during the last few months. Won't
"that good natured chunk of fat called
Joe Roberts, help US to bring Daniel to
proper appreciation of his duties
toward his colored brother, even though
that brother has fallen into the error of
of seeking political honors IN Mr.. Hogan's
own county?
Several prominent white Republicans
Of the city have expressed their disbelief
Of the figures showing the relative strength
of the white aud colored Republican vote
in this county, recently published in The
BULLETIN They would prefer not to be-
lieve that the Republican party of this
county is much more than half coIored.
They seem to consider it not creditible to
the party that this should be true, or they
willfully refuse to acknowledge the color
ed voters strength because to do 80 would
be an acknowledgement that the vigorous
| fght these colored voters are making for
a pull at the public teat is entirely Justlh-
able, which latter acknowled cement they
have been fighting against for lol these
many years. But these good white Repub'
licans cannot avoid the truth, and they
must not seek to do 1t by denying the
conclusions reached by mea MS
of figures Republican figures, too,
furnished by a Republican census bureau
These figures speak in manner that can
not be mistaken, proclaimng that the
strength of the negro vote IN this county,
in comparison with the white Republican
vote, is overwhelming, aud in the district
it holds the balance Of power. But 1t
must be acknowledged that there was a
slight error in the figures as published by
The BULLETIN, which, however, does not
materially effect the result. A revision OF
the figures proves that the whole voting
strength of the Republican party in the
county is 2l79--this, of course, assuming
that of the 1909 voters who did not vote in
1880, 600 were Republicans. Subtracting
from the whole number of Republicans the
1873 colored Republicans we have
sos white Republicans in the county, o.
567 more colored than whites. This i'm
portant fact the colored Republicans well
know and it seems that they will not al
low the several prominent Republicans re-
ferred to, to ignore it, however humilia ting
it may be to them.

GRANT ON PORTER.
His Change Of Heart Causes Much
Talk.

A Washington telegram says: The recent
frank, unequivocal declaration Of Gen. Grant
to the effect that his opinion of the Ftz John
Porter case has radically changed, and that he
is now convinced Porter is greatly injured
man, is becoming more and more a subject Of
discussion among Congressmen, Off
oials, and army people. Gen. Grants
statements are a great surprise to persons who
have for many years bitterly denounced Porter
and stubbornly defended the action of the
court martial Gen. Grants outspoken con-
fesslon OF his own error in this case, and his
determination TO make amends 10y doing all
he can To remove the stigma from Porters
record, have brought embarrassment to
men like Gen. Logan and Gen. Sherman,
who during the last Congress claimed to have
given careful study to the evidence produced
before the Sohofeld Board of Inquiry, and who,
despite that evidence, stuck perslstently to their
old opinion.
The friends Of Ftz John Porter were very
much elated at the frank avowal Of Gen. Grant
that Porter has been wroDged and ought to be
indicated. They expect TO get bill for
Porters reinstatement through this Con-
gress now without much difficulty. promi-
nent Republican said TO night that Gen. Grants
change OF opinion would not influence Senator
Logan to reverse his judgment and favor the
bLl to reinstate Porter. He said Logan may,
ont OF respect for Grant, remain SILENT but he
will not vote for such bill. The Democrats
generally give Gen. Grant credit for
an honest change Of opinion in this
matter. A leading Democratic Senator
said tonight that he took no stock
in the theory that Grant was maneuverin9 to
catch Democratic votes in favor Of bill for
placing his own name on the army retired list
He said he knew Grant to be very candid
man, and one ready to make acknowledgement
if he discovered himself to be in error;
that, having recently studied the for
the first time, Grant reached the conclusion
that his previous opinion had been wrong
and frankly said 30. This Senator added that,
in his opinion, the bill to retire Grant will pass,
rs several democratic cSenators-perhaps half a
dozen-iL.end to vote for it. Any bill TO SIM
ply reinstate Porter will receive the support Of
all the Democrats In Congress but should it
propose to reimburse him in the shape of back
pay it will meet with strong opposition from

Little Danger From Electric Currents

There have been some cases Of death
within the last few years, but these have
all been caused by alternating current
machines, which are extremely danger
GUS when of high electro motive force.
The continuous current machines, how
ever, do not give such severe shocks, and
in the opinion of many scientific men,
are not dangerous, though capable of in
hicting considerable pain. However, it
will be the duty of every electric engin-
eer to take care so to place his leads as
to make it almost impossible for any one
to touch both at the same time, severe
shocks being thus entirely prevented.
On the whole, were every house lighted
by electricity and every factory to re-
ceive it's "power" in that form, the
dangers would be much less than those
which exist now from gas and boilers.
For no bad workmanship or carelessness
can by any possibility cause an explo-
sion to be produced by an electric cur
rent and, in the event of u fire taking
place, conducting wires would only heat,
and perhaps fuse, instead of feeding the
flames with combustible and explosive
matter as gas pipes do when fused by
the heat of burning building. .-.Satur-

Reasoning from suspicion is a very
common error. The minds of some per.
sons are particularly prone to suspicion.
OF any circumstance related to them,
they almost invariably suspect something
wrong. According to their notion, every
man is n rogue, and no one ever does OF
says anything without an intention to
deceive. Tainted themselves with some
moral obliquity, or accustomed to Judge
from exceptional cases, they do not APP
pear to believe in disinterestedness OF
integrity of character. All the world is
a sham-every kind, or we'll meaning act
is trick. Influenced 10y this unhappy
temperament, they can not calmly in
vestigate the truth, but on all occasions
form an injurious suspicion, and, making
il the basis of theory, draw the most
fallacious conclusions. Such individuals
usually think themselves vastly clever

and comply with the conditions of sue

According to the story in the New York
Times, Mr.. Jay Gould had narrow
escape from utter ruin about three years
ago, and was so hard pressed by Keene
and several other operators and co.
operators in Union Pacific, that his
courage vanished and he became limp as
rag. Keene summoned him to con-
ference TO which he meekly went T; told
him he must drop out of Wall street en-
Grely and go to Europe for his health
10 which he assented-under penalty OF
being SO eternally smashed that he
wouldn't have money enough to pay his
fare to Hoboken- He went out Of the
room, says Wall street narrator of the
incident, "as though he had been
spanked" Just outside he met Russell
Sage-another big operator who, al
though quite willing to make Gould
stand and deliver, did not find it for his
interests to drive him from the street"
On hearing his story, Sage :" walked in"
and found Keene and his fellow con-
spirators together.
"Just let me serve notice on you fell

about, "just let me serve notice on you

DISASTROUS ACCIDENTS.
A Panic I'm n Peoria Church Causci
the Death Of Several People.

the Death Of Several People.
During the funeral of the Rev. Simon
kuhlehenhoelter, at Salem Evangelical Church,
in Peoria, H., frightful panic occurred. In
the rush for the street some forty persons were
injured, six, all ladies, seriously. The
church is one of the largest in the city, and
was filed with the friends of the deceased. All
the seats were filed, and the standing-room in
the aisles and about the doors was occupied.
Soon after the services commenced the
panic occurred. It il said that n seat in
the gallery broke down. The people in the
vicinity thought the gallery was giving away,
and the rush commenced. Men, women and
children poured out Of tho doors leading
from the main floor and the gallery into the
hall leading to the street. All efforts to stop
them were fruitess. The people were frantic
and would listen 10 nothing. In less than two
minutes the doorway was blocked up, and the
scene that followed was indescribable. The
women who were caught in the crowd were
thrown down and trsmpled upon. Their shrieks
and the shouting of the men, who seemed to be
frightened out of their senses, were fearful. For
fully ten minutes the doorway was blocked up,
and, during the greater portion OF this time,
half dozen women lay on the steps under the
feet of the frightened crowd. few men who
had lost their scare went to work heroically to
rescue the women, and succeeded in getting
them out after they had been walked over by
a large number Of men. AS fast as taken ont
the victims were taken to adjoining houses and
cared for. Forty persons were injured, four or
more fatally, others being manned for life.
