THE contested election case of Lowry
against White from the Twelfth Indiana
district, to which we briefly referred
two weeks age, was disposed of by the
Committee on Elections on Friday last
by ordering report to the House de-
claring the seat vacant, on the ground
that White, Republican, the sitting
member, is ineligible, while Lowry,
Democrat, did not receive majority OF
the woes cast. While Lowry does not
pretend to have been elected. he main
tains that White is not entitled TO his
seat for the reason that being Scotch
man by birth he was never naturalized
until the day previous to the election, q
year ago last November. If this is true
it clearly disqualifies White. Although
he has lived and voted IN the district
for over twenty years and although he
claims, as we understand the case, to
have been naturalized soon after he
came TO this country over thirty years
ago, he failed to establish that fact be-
fore the Committee. The case is
peculiar as well as important from the
fact that the present delegation in the
House from Indiana contains Repub-
lican majority OF one, and that in the
event OF the election OF q President be-
ing thrown into the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes next year. the Republicans
could not elect their candidate without
the vote Of Indiana. In the event OF
the House sustaining the report of the
Committee a new election would have
to be held which would most probably
result in the election of Democrat. as
the district has usually voted in that
way. Such result, however, woulc
only throw the Indiana delegation from
the Republican to the Democratic side
and would not give the latter a majori-
ty OF State delegations in the House.
1t was expected that the report OF the
Committee would be taken up in the
House on yesterday and that very in
teresting debate would follow.

The Whites Set the Oyster and the
Blacks the Shells.

In the Republican State convention
of Louisiana last week uine-tenths or
the delegates were citizens Of the Afri-
can race. The reporters say that the
few white delegates scattered about the
hall served merely as a relief TO the
rows of black delegates who filled its
benches. But, though in great numeri-
cal majority, the colored delegates evil
IDENTIFY did not have much share in the
work of the Convention. In the inter-
yals of the proceedings some OF the
colored orators very distinctly warned
their white associates that IL they
should be ignored in the formation OF
the ticket they would not fail to avenge
the wrong and Insult at the ballot-box.
So little impression was made by this
threat that but one nomination-that OF
Secretary of State was given 10
colored Republican out OF the seven
places on the ticket. This affords sad
indication that when it comes to offices
and elections the Republican politicians
of the South are not behind the Demo-
Gratis in the systematic suppression OF
their colored fellow-citizens.
Senator Sherman and Senator Chand-
Ier daily assert that the small Republican
vote in the South is due to the lawless
and violent suppression or the colored
people by the Democrats The process
process OF reasoning by which this con-
slusion is reached is \ very SIMPLE cine,
and has the merit OF requiring no facts
for its support. Thus they take up the
election returns of South Carolina,
Louisiana and other Southern States 10
show that very few Republicans votes
we're polled. AS the colored people
nearly equal the whites numerically in
those states, and as the colored people
are all assumed to be Republicans,
nothing further is needed 10 make out
the charge OF systematic violence and
intimidation against ths Democrats OF
the South. The considerations that the
colored citizens generally do not desire
TO vote, that there Is no political issue
that arouses their interest, and that
some of them voluntarily support the
Democratic tiket, are dismissed with
partisan scorn.
When next the Republican statesmen
of the Senate may make q political in
cursion into the local affairs of the
South they should not overlook the in
terestlng features OF this Louisiana
case. Although the colored delegates
outnumbersd their white associates by
nine to one, the latter managed to bag
siI-sevenths Of the political honors
There was doubtless no intimidation
about this, but the political suppression
Of the co!ored Republicans was quite as
effective as is the violence which the
Democrats Of Louisiana are accused Of
employing. The Southern Democrats
have made no professions OF purpose
to put colored men, inexperienced in
public affairs, into responsible State
offices. Nor have they sought to make
mere political tools and seI:s of their
coloIed neighbors. They have too much
respect for the ballot. as well as for free
political institutions, But il appears
that the main object OF the white Re-
publicans of Louisiana in forming q
political alliance with the blacks is to
get their votes and keep them out of
office. .-PhiLd, Record.

A CORRESPONDENT or the New York
Herald who has bsss travelling through
the Lehigh region estimates that in
Panther Greek Valley alone 9O22 people
are receiving relief from the Knights OF
Labor, 6676 being women and children.
These figures furnish strong illustrI-
tion OF the suffering in that section con-
seQuent upon the strike. Thus it is
seen that women and children are the
silent sufferers-they have been so in all
ages and under every form of cruelty.

more terrible than when we coneem-
plate helpless creatures bearing the

THE cashier of the collapsed bank at

Record, was desperate devotee of
poker, the bookkeeper a slave OF lewd

human mind occasionally revert to first
principles. Cards and women have
ruined more men than speculation has

costing $43 each, the profit was

Laughing Gas instead of Ice.

One bright May day of last year
a South Side man took a jumping
toothache to a dentists. After the
pain was relieved he spent an
hour in looking around among the
curious and Ingenious instru-
ments. Particularly was he in
terested in the arrangement for adj
ministering the nitrousoxide, or
Laughing gas" as it is more pop
ularly called. He noticed the for
nation Of ice particles caused by
the intense cold produced by the
evaporation of the gas, and it re-
called the almost forgotten physics
Of his high school days.
He thought about the matter
and then invested 81 in an iron
cylinder containing roo gallons of
the gas-in condensed form, Of
course. Taking this home, he
cleaned up his old ice box of the
summer before and built up the
gas cylinder underneath. He
made connection with the ice box
through a short copper pipe and
regulated the supply with a stop
cock. Then he provided for free
circulation of gas through the
box, and with gimblet bored a
couple of escape holes. Then he
was ready to test its efficiency. A
box of strawberries left there over
night was found next morning fro
zen solid. Then he gave his stop
cock a twist and diminished the
supply. That was better, and in
a few days the refrigerator was in
good working order. 1t was neat,
clean, and needed little attention,
and its cost was iustone-third the
cost Of the ice that had been used
during the same length Of time
the summer previous. And this

apostle Of innocence? We think
not, at least to our. Oh, how
many little children, If not in

In the average community there
is a marked lack Of the indi1idu-

the community. Many man en-

with enterprising convictions, with
benevolent convictions, yet lacks
the nerve, the moral stamina, to
stand up and assert himself, or to
