The New England Democratic politicians
who are now infesting Washington are re-
ported to be both angry and melancholy.
They find the administration ready enough
to take up the offices in States where cleo
lions are to be held this fall, but in New
England 1t is inclined to go slow, for the
sake, mo doubt, of preserving its civil service
reform aspect. Patience is, however, all that
these politicians need. In time all the Re-
publican office holders in New England, as
well as everywhere else will have to 90.

Ex-Gov. st. John has apparently gone way
over to the Bourbon Democracy. In re-

The negroes down South have the right of the
ballot. OF my own personal observation and
knowledge l assert that the social and political
civilization OF Danyille, Va, and of Copiah county
Miss, is as high and as creditable as in any 10
calties In the United States, and that the charge
that there is any bulldozing fraud, Intimidation
or violence at the polls there Is false"
And here are two resolutions which the
social and political civilization" in Copiah
county in mass meeting assembled adopted
after Matthews was shot in theback:
Resolved, by the people of Cobiah county in
mass meeting assembled this day at the court
house of said county, that if any person shall be
injured, or an attempt made to injure him, either
insperson or In property in any manner by the
relatives and friends of said Matthews that we
hereby declare we will hold his said relatives and
friends who participate accountable for the same
and that We will regard them as without the pale
and protection Of the law, and common enemies of
society and that we will visit upon them certain
swift retribution.
Resolved further, that In the opinion of this
meeting 1t Is necessary to the safety of society
and the welfare of all races and classes in this
country that the Matthews family shall keep out
OF politics in Copiah county.

Disguised with Her Race.

For the last four years a white woman
has been living with tribe of California
Indians. She is apparently about thirty
years Of age, and has very pleasing but
dissipatcd face She wears a tight-titting,
faded morning wrapper, through which
the outlines of a perfectly modelled figure
are discernable. She acts in strange,
silly manner, but this may be ascribed to
embarrassment resulting from her singu-
lar choice Of position. Upon being asked
as to what peculiar abnormal fascination
induced her to abandon the society and
custom of her kind, she replied that the
unkindness and deceit which she encoun-
tered among the white people prompted
her to mingle with a race which, if they
did not possess the civilization and re-
finement Of her own, at least were more
sincere and affectionate in their nature.
