HOW IT WORKS.

Colorado has a registry law. Just
how it works In Denver may be
learned from the following which
We clip from the Republican of the
3Oth ult: despite the reports to the
contrary, there has been considerable
fraud practiced in the registration of
voters. The work seems to have
been done almost entirely by strikers
for aldermanic candidates. 1t is inn
possible at this hour to even give an
outline of the extent of the false reg
jstration, but a Republican reporter
in q visit to the several polling places,
yesterday, heard sufficient evidence
to convince one that it was being
DONE" We have yet to
learn of an instance whele, if the
is disposed to be dishonest,
the most stalwart frauds cannot be
.racticed under registration laws.

II BLACK HAND.

Following upon the heels of other
secret political societies which
nave been organized within
the past few years is the organization
Of anarchists known in Spain as The
Black Hand. This new brood of
Satan is now waging war upon land
ed proprietors in that country and
committing barbarities in the name
of justice which should make the
cheek of their master flush with
shame. A late dispatch from Mad
rid says: ut is reported that twenty
one armed men, masked and SUP
posed 10 be members of a secret
society, entered a farm at Puerto
serrano, in Andalusia. They muir
dered the men, outraged the women
and destroyed everything in the
place." A later dispatch said: sit
is reported that several plantations
in Andalusia have been partially de-
stroyed. Some emissaries of the an
archists have been arrested, and they
are found to be furnished with fresh
orders from the secret societies, which
seem determined to make a vigorous
to the authorities" Ar
rests are numerous, reasonable docr-
ments have been found, the military
force has been increased, but "The
Black Hand" has not been suppress
ed. On the contrary the society
and is adding new victims
its o as its membership in
creases.

.FIutter in the Rice Market.

LONDON, April 3.-There is un-
wonted excitement in the rice mar
ket. A prominent firm in the trade,
which has extensive agencies ut Bur
nah, some time since made consider
able sales OF rice to arrive in expecta-
ton of getting supplies from native
sources and securing n large tonnage
for England. The natives held off
their supplies probably on account
of the advised state of the oversold
English market, and a large purchase
had to be made in tic open market
here for the purpose Of fulfilling the
contracts. Ragoon rice has risen
ten per cent. within the past week,
and AS a consequence failures are
expected in the trade.

San Francisco Chronicle: Dakots
appears to be u fertile field for the
Speculation. Recently there was rush.
ed through both houses of the Legis-
lature a bill to give the Governor
and q board of. nine Commissioners
the power to locate the capital of
Southern Dakota. The Commission
ers represent nothing, Governor Ord
way being the head and front of the
body to whom. has been delegated
these powers. Back Of him is a syn
dictate Of capitalists representing ST.
OOO, 600 and their plan is to buy up all
the town lots in any place which
they fix upon and retire on the pro.
ceeds of the rise i'm real estate. 1t is
a bold and wcll-planned scheme, and
judging from the success which has
attended a similar device in Nebraska
it will not fail. This job, however,
is good indication of the political
morality that may be expected should
Dakota become a State. Nevada will
then have to retire in its favor as the
pocket borough of the country.

The Treasury Count.

WASHINGTON. april 2.-Treasurel
Wyman and Assistant Treasurer
Graves formally entered upon their
new duties this morning. The ey-
animation of the cash in the treasury
is progressing satisfactorily. There
are sixty persons, including female
counters. engaged in this work, urdpr
the supervision of the general com.
mittee. The count so far has shown
a deficit of five cents i'll one bag Of
silver, and and excess Of six cents in
the accounts Of interest. The teller
supposes this discrepancy will be ey-
planned as the count progresses. Ti-
cash is being counted twice; the frs:
time by the committee and again ly
representatives of the Treasury. 1t
:Ill require two or three weeks to
{ 'mplete the examination.

A SUGGESTION.

The proclamation recently pro-
mulgated by the Revolutionary party
OF Russia contains an intimation of
what it intends to. do at the corona
ton of the Gar. The warning it
gives to lookers-on to keep at a safe
distance from the Gar is not partie-
ularly called for. It is now generally
conceded that an appointment as a
representative to the coronation is
emphatically n of those cases in
which an honor is fairly thrust upon
a man. We have not heard of any
one who rejoiced in it. On the con.
trary those who have received the
unsolicited honor regard it with a feel
ing somewhat akin to that which the
condemned man experiences in hear
ing his death sentence pronounced.
BY the way, our own govern
ment should not fail TO
extend to the Gar the
courtesy shown by the other powers
IL sending representatives to that
august meeting at Moscow. The
United States ought not to be renliss
n their plain duty. Several promi-
lent men may be spared who would
doubtless be glad to go if their ex-
'enses were paid. A score or more
# them are now lounging around
Washington. Keifer could be spared;
sobeson would not be missed: Page
you'd leave no regrets behind, while
and Brady would gladly
imp at the opportunity to get away.
last two named could turn an
penny or two by showing the
Muscovites how to expedite
omb routes and make things lively
t the coronation. The administers

ice by sending the above named
entlenlen as representatives to the

The city elections just held in Ohio
and Indiana indicate that the Demo-
cratic boom which swept the North-
ern and Eastern States last fall came
to stay. Instead of its being the re-
suit of temporary mental alteration
OF the people, as held by the kepub-
lican party, it appears now that it
proceeded from a deep conviction
upon the part of the masses that a
permanent change of rulers was alb
saiutely necessary to the prosperity
OF the country. Republican corrup-
ton has worked its reward in the
Union, and Republican defeats will
no longer be matters of surprise,

WHAT. 1T MEANS.

II must not he supposed President
Diaz is making a tour through the
principal cities of the United States
to crafty his curiosity. There is
something behind this visit not
known to the general reader. A St.
Louis exchange processes to have dis
covered the true inwardness of Presi-
dent Diaz's presence and ventilates
its impressions in this wise: "Diaz
is IN the hands Of a syndicate of
Americans interested in Mexican
railroad development. His present
position in Mexico makes him ex-
tremely valuable, and their plans
contemplate they will be still more
valuable in The future. After his re-
turn to Mexico he is expected to be
still more widely recognized than
ever rs the leading man of that Re
public. His reelection to the Presi-
dency is the object the syndicate
have in view, and then their hopes
of controlling the valuable conces-
siOns Mexico has bestowed on rail-
road companies will be fulfilled.
How far DiaZ is a passive instru-
ment of this party, and how far he
enters actively into the grand plan
of controlling the policies and rail
roads of Mexico, it is impossible to
tell, but enough has developed dur
the stay of the General and COM
panions in ST. Louis to show some
thing of the organization. AS the
matter now stands, the allegiance is
, powerful one, but if the plan of
re-electing Diaz to the Presidency
succeeds. the syndicate will be one of
strength in the railroad
interests of Mexico. 1t has repre-
'entatives and influences in Denver,
New Orleans, st. Louis, Kansas City,
he City Of Mexico and chihuahua"
1t is well, known General Grant
las large interests in railroad enter
'rises in Mexico; that he is in fact
he head and front of the principal
mes; that he has been extremely
.olicitous concerning the relations
that country and the
United States, that. President ]

Minister Lowell Speaks.

LONDON, April 3.-Minister Low
ell, in a speech at the Lord Mayors
banquet last night, said he had from
time to time read sensational state
ments in newspapers purpcrting to
give instructions he had received
from his government and words he
had spoken in diplomatic quarters.
He would say these nrophesies were
like those of the prophet Virgins.
He should, in spite of them, continue
to believe that the good relations ex-
isting between Great Britain and the
United States would be enduring.
Certainly nothing that he could do
would tend to lessen their friendly
character.

well as yesterday, took 4 carriage

service over the body of John Brown

The counting of cash in the United

The counting of cash in the United
States Treasury is now progressing.
A shortage of five cents in one bag
of silver and an excess of six cents in
interest accounts, are all the d~iscrep-
ancies thus far discovered. While
these differences are insignificant
matters a far as values are con-
cerned, they may, unless corrected
in the course OF the count, require a
thorough examination of all the
books of the department to find the
error. In the last count an error of
ten cents was found. That ten cents
caused much blasphemy and many
days of hard labor before it was un-
earthed. The Treasury department
books are supposed to contain no
and none are condoned.

WIN. PITT

A recent Washington telegram OK
plains why ex-senator Kellogg was
indicted for completely in Star route
frauds. James B. Price, mail con-
tractor, in an affidavit deposes that
in 1878 he caused a petition, numer-
ously signed by citizens along his
route from Corpus Christi to San An
tonic, to be presented to the Post
master General for the purpose of in
creasing trips and reducing running
time, and thereby increase his COM
pensation. Not being successful, he
offered Kellogg $4,000 to assist him
in the project. Kellogg promised to
see Brady, and in the meantime he
price paid Kellogg SIS, 900 in postal
drafts drawn against his (affiant's)
pay. He also gave his note for So,
600, due in four months, which was
subsequently paid; $4,000 afterward
went to Brady. Affiant further says
that Kellogg, after the investigation
of s%tar-route matters had commenced,
became very much alarmed, and
sometimes told him that he (Kellogg)
had given it all to Brady, deriving
no benefit therefrom personally; at
other times he said that he had de-
rived but $1,000 therefrom. This is
the Kellogg to whom the Republican
party stuck as close as a brother as
loug as it had use for him in the
United States Senate. The facts
stated by Mr.. Price were as wei,
known a year ago rs they are now.
Mr.. Kellogg escaped Indictment then
through the efforts of his Republican
friends and some stalwart living on
his part. AS he is succeeded in the
Senate by a Democrat, and as his
party has no further use for him
now, he is left unaided to combat the
Philistines. Verify the Republican
party has shown itself u~ngratefui in
lis case.
