THE SAME OLD STORY.

There are things OF which the re-
cur1ence may be predicted with
safety; with the summer solstice
the burlesque, with the autumn the
fruit, with winter the snow, and with
the Presidential campaign the
Southern outrage.
1t is the same old story over and
over again, whether it be told of a
county in Mississippi or tennessee
Or Of a parish in Louisiana. A par
agraph may be written il 1888, leav-
ing names Of persons and places
blank, and in 1902 it will be hiato-
really true by mere insertion Of
mes. It might run thus: ''The
c lty of-in the State of-is
one Of the black districts, the color
Ell population outnumbering tie
white by at least four to one. By
means of corruption best known ID
the leaders, the majority has act
uaily succeeded in electing its can
didates during the off years Of poll,
tics, SO that the county Offices were
occupied by colored people. This
has encouraged the majority SO
greatly that it has long been feared
lest they should carry the county
Republican IN the Presidential year.
Last week it was evident that mis-
chief was brewing; it was ascertain
ed thai most Of the colored people
had fire arms on their persons or in
their houses, and yesterday they
assembled in mass around the court
house, and dared the whites to dis
possess the colored officers. The
gallant Colonel --, late OF the
Confederate service, gathered
twenty-five white men, armed with
Winchester rifles, and after a brief
engagement, in which thirty negroes
were killed and no white man Woun-
ded, the colored mob was routed.
The Sheriff, Treasurer, and other
colored officers Of the county Wei:
given twenty-four hours in which
leave the State, and then PAGES al,
now filled by men who served under
Hood and Long,treet. tits safe tc
say that the county of - will give
an old fashioned Democratic ma
jority i'll November"
The farce is monotonouS. The Ne
groes are always in a majority, they
are always armed and blood-thirsty,
but they never kill anybody; it is
eternally themselves who are killed.
When the alleged mob is dispersed
an! its leaders captured there IS
never trial; proof is not given to
the world of the conspiracy alleged
by the white democrats; the repub-
Lean leaders are driven out CT the
country, the republican voters IN
Inundated, and an ld-fashioned dem
ocratie majority secured. The re-
cent episode in Arkansas is IN point.
The col0red men were represented
as armed and defiant, and rs eX-
ceeding the whites seven to one.
Rut no white man was hurt; it was
only negroes who were killed Or
wounded. 1t was said that the
county offices, lately filled by ne
groes aud white republicans, had
been made vehicles Of corruption,
but no proof was brought forth.
The officers were illegally banlshed
under threat Of death, and their
places usurped by white democrats
The plain fact is that there IS con-
spiracy to re-elect "leveland by the
forces Of murder ana forgery IN the
Southern tier.-Inter Ocean.

A Wonderful Fish Story.

Dillon Tribune: John ScOlley, of
Blacktail, struck trout bonanza few
days since. Last fall the Blacktail
overhowed and made deep pond on
Mr.. Scolley's plantation. During the
winter the pond froze solid. Mr.. Scol-
ley, wanting to lay in a supply OF ice
for summer use, had the ice pond sawed
up in blocks, when it was found, 50
Scolley says, that the ice was full of
frozen trout Mr.. Scolley, being re-
tired fishermen by trade, will thaw out
trout all next summer, and he will
serve ice cream and fried frozen trout
to his friends on the fourth of July.

EDITOR ENTERPRISE Would you per-
nit me short short space in your valu-
able paper to speak of a matter that
needs attending to? Your remarks about
Carter's bridge, in your last issue, were
timely and good, and it is to be hoped
the commissioners will heed the note of
warning and make the property secure.
At the same time they consider the FORE
going matter it is to be hoped that some-
thing will be done to avoid the possibility
of an accident and perhaps loss of life and
property by persons fishing from the
bridge. 1t Is we'll known fact to all
who are in the habit of crossing the
bridge with teams that at times it is almost
impossible to get over, the horses exhibit
ing signs of fear because of the persons
standing on the bridge for the
purpose of fishing in the Yellow
stone river. Cannot the commits
sioners pass an ordinance prohibiting per-
sons fishing from the bridge when teams
are passing over2 Early attention to this
matter will undoubtedly prevent an acci-
dent which will surely occur unless at
tended to. TEAMsTER.

When the Alpine sun is setting, or,
better still, some time after it has set,
leaving the limbs and shoulders of the
mountains in shadow, while their snowy
crests are bathed by the retreating light,
the snow glows with beauty and solem-
nifty hardly equaled by any other natural
phenomenon. So also, when first illum-
med by the rays Of the unrisen sun, the
mountain heads, under favorable atmos-
pheric conditions, shine like rubies. And
all this splendor is evoked by the simple
mechanism Of minute particles, them
selves without color, suspended in the
air. Those who referred the extraordi-
nary succession of atmospheric CLOVIS,
witnessed some years ago, to a vast and
violent discharge of volcanic ashes, were
dealing with "a true cause" The fine
floating residue Of such ashes would I'M
doubtedly be able to produce the effects
ascribed to it. Still the mechanism to
produce the morning and evening red,
though of variable efficiency, is always
present in the atmosphere. I have seen
displays, equal in magnifcence to the
finest Of those above referred to, when
when there was no special volcanic out
burst to which they could be referred.
1t was the long continued repetition of
the glows which rendered the volcanic
theory highly probable. Professor John
Tyndall in The Forum.

is very sweet to me, my child, in this
I Quaker gray; but we Quakers, thee
knows, do not approve Of theatricals, and
] think tonight thee is trying to play a
part. Thee acts It very prettily, Edith,
but advise thee to go back to nature
and thy red gowns"
So the battle was won. and the result
proved that Edith was quite able to con-
quer, not only Roberts relations, but
Roberts relations friends. Whea, a
year later, she came back to them again
as a bride, there was but one thing left
/ for her to conquer. Robert had prepared
I her for n possible visit from elderly
friends who might think it their duty to
demonstrate with her, or with him, on
this very worldly marriage, and it was,
in truth, hardly a month before he ran
up stairs one afternoon as she was dress
ing, with the announcement that the
probable counselors were taking off their
Overcoats in the hall.
She hesitated a moment; but her hesi-
tation rose merely from a moments con-
sideration of whether she had any other
gown in her wardrobe that would en-
phasize more distinctly her intention to
adhere to her own traditions. She de-
cided that the long trailing skirt of pale
green cashmere, with its border Of pale
plush and its sash Of watered silk, was
sufficiently worldly when one took into
consideration she jewel that sparkled in
the laces at her throat, the dainty lace
edged handkerchief and the perfectly
groomed little curls over her white fore
head. She paused only to slip on one
more bangle over her round wrist and
then, kissing her husband, hoated down
stairs.
Robert never knew exactly what she
said or did to the old gentlemen in the
parlor. He hung over the banisters, and
caught the echoes of her silvery little
laughs, and saw the maid carry tea into
the parlor, and at the end Of an hour de-
scended the stairs himself, as the old gen
tlemen emerged from the doorway, de-
termined to stand by Edith 90 the last,
if she happened to have had hard time.
He knew that some remonstrance would
be quietly dealt out to himself, even dur
ing the brief vestibuie episode of fare
well; but, to his establishment, as he
stepped forward to help the old gentle
men with their overcoats, the one who
was evidently spokesman for the party
grasped his hand and said heartily:
''Friend Robert, thee has married welll''
Still another year later, and there lay
on Edith's arm little Edith, with lovely
eyes and very remarkable, highly en-
broidered clothes.
