of States Its notorious that they are
not. Mr.. Chandeliers bill provides
means for the enforcement of fairness
in National elections, and it should be
made applicable to every precinct in
which a polling-place is opened in
every State.
It may be debatable point as to
whether non-tax payers should be in
trusted with the voting power, but it
is not debatable point that if the
power to prohibit them from voting
exists in Rhode Island or Pennsylvania
or Georgia, it exists everywhere. And
if South Carolina or Texas can so ar
range its polling-places and its hours
OF voting as to prevent all but those
who can ride thither from the exercise
OF the ballot, it follows that Illinois or
Indiana can do likewise. It is doubt
less true that the founders of the Re-
public contemplated manhood suffrage,
without other check or limit than
soundness of mind and freedom from
conviction of crime, and it is very
doubtful whether more judicious
standard of qualification can be de-
vised. But whatever the standard be,
it should be the same everywhere.

"A BLAST FROM THE YOUTH.
THE YOUNG MEN OF JACKSON UTTER THEIR
ULTIMATUM."
The circular charged the colored
people with murder-a young white
man having been killed in an ARRAY
by black man few days before
and contained the following:
Driven by no sudden passion or blind i'm
pulse, but actuated by firm and deliberate
sense of the duty we owe to ourselves and to
our race, we hereby warn the negroes that if
any ono of tho atte..apts to-run- xop-ofaoa
in the approaching municipal election he does
SO at his supre NEST peril and we further warn
any and all negroes OF this city against at
tempting at their utmost hazard, by vote or
influence, to foist on again this black and
damnable machine miscalled government of
our city.
This was in red ink and meant
murder
There was a good deal of this litera-
ture, and the colored people submitted
in resolutions as follows:
WHEREAS, The colored people have been re-
liably informed that the Democratic Club or
Committee OF Jackson have invited Democrats
from various other places and adjoining coun.
ties to be here election day for a purpose OF
preventing the colored voters from voting or
participating in the city election next Monday,
January 2, 1888; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That in the interest Of peace and
harmony and the protection Of life and prop
erty, the colored people refrain from voting or
III any way participating in said election.
Resolord further, That the colored candidates
for Aldermen are hereby withdrawn.

kUKLUx METHODS.

Why the Colored People of Jackson, Miss,
Withdrew Their Ticket.
The true inwardness of the trouble
between the Democrats and the colored
voters of jackson, Miss, which has
caused so much excitement throughout
the country, has just come to light.
When the regular Democratic ticket
was nominated in jackson commit
tee of one hundred was appointed
to see that it was elected. and this
committee adopted the following reso-
lutions:
WHEREAS, This convention having received
the assurance that hereafter no negro alder
men or negro policemen will be part of the
city government, and that in the election to be
held Monday next none but white men will
vote, the negroes having voluntarily agreed to
stay away from the polls therefore, be it
ResOlUed, That the Democracy OF the city of
Jackson pledges itself that so far as it can
govern the election it shall be fairly and peace
obly conducted.
That was to say that if black Repub-
licans kept away from the polls they
would not be killed.

why congressional Elections Can BE
Brought Within National Control.
Senator Chandler holds unassailable
ground when he assumes that Con-
gressional elections are National
elections, in q sense broad enough to
bring them within National control
The only obvious objection to his bill
is that it is limited in the applica-
ton of it's provisions. There should
be uniform standard of qualification
for voters at National elections. South
Carolina or Rhode Island, Pennsyl-
wanna or Tennessee. Massachusetts or
Florida may each have right to pre-
scribe or direct property qualification,
as Rhode Island does, or tax-paying
qualification, as Pennsylvania does.
for voters at State elections, but the
qualification to vote upon National is
sues involved in the election of Presi-
dents and Congressman should be one
and the same in all States.
1t is well to decree that the ..certifi-
cate of registration in South Carolina
shall not have attached any voting
conditions relative to property or 9TH
or qualifications" but if such decree be
made and enforced as to South Caro-
lima it should be made and enforced as
to every other State. The one thing
that Republicanism can not do and
live is to frame either sectional or
class legislation. What is demanded
by every instinct of justice is that Ma
tional elections shall be as free and
tair in Southern as in the Northern tiel,

Mountain Goats in America.

Idaho World: A teamster passed
through here last Saturday with fifty
mountain-goat hides. They were
killed near Silver Mountain for their
hides. These animals weigh from
eighty to $50 pounds and are snow
white. In build they somewhat re-
semble bear, having large, heavy
bodies, and very short legs. Their
horns are small and sharp pointed; the
hair, long, straight, and pure white,
is almost as fine as the Angora goat.
They inhabit the loftiest and most
rocky points of the Sawtooth Range Of
mountains in this Territory, and are
not to be found anywhere else in the
United States. They are very active,
and travel with great swiftness, max
ing incredible leaps and scaling cliffs
where it would be almost impossible
for a man to find a foothold. The
Sawtooth Mountains are also the habi-
tation for another animal that is I'M
known except in Europe namely: the
ibex. Quite number of these ami
mails have been seen, but none, so far
as we know, have ever been killed.

Got the Girl He Wanted.

A story is told in Brooklyn society of
the sudden appearance of former res
ident with large diamond and an
ambition. equally glittering, to marry
a former sweetheart if he could. He
had been to Australia, made pile,
and was coming back to stay long
enough to get a wife, give her the
diamond, marry her, and take her back
there. Unfortunately, the girl of his
choice was engaged and about to
marry. The Australian went sadly
away without having shown his dia-
mond. and in a day or two he gave it
to another old acquaintance. Then he
called upon The lady of his choice to
bid her good-by, and she told him that
she had been thinking the matter over
and had found that she loved him
better than she loved the man to whom
she was engaged. Back went the
young man to the g3 to whom he had
made a present of his diamond and
persuaded her to give it to him and take
its worth in money or another jewel.
He then took the diamond to the girl
for whom it was intended, and she be-
came his wife and they have sailed for
Australia.

STORIES OF ELEPHANTS.
The Esteem In Which the Huge Animal
Were Held by the Ancients.

The Esteem In Which the Huge Animals
Were Held by the Ancients.
The ancients, who are sparing in their
praises OF the dog, (by far the larger
part of the world has always abhorred
him as the very type Of uncleanness),
could not speak too highly of the ele-
plant. The elder Pliny, who was a
diligent collector Of anecdotes rather
than an observer, surpasses himself
when he treats of this animal. He
places him as unquestionably next to
man. Intelligence. obedience, memory.
ambition, affection, honesty, prudence
and justice are among the catalogue of
virtues which he ascribes to these crea-
lures. he even declares that they are
religious, worshiping the stars, the sun
and the moon, an assertion in which
he is followed by P..utarch and ELAN.
The stories which he tells of their sa-
gacity and aptitude for acquiring ac-
complishments are marvellous. That
they should go through the motions OF
dance or a gladiatorial combatis cred
ible. Busbecq tells of one which he
himself saw in Turkey that danced and
played at ball. But our faith is taxed
when we read of four elephants
walking on tight ropes, carrying
another in litter. Yet the testimony
Of the ancients as to this particular &C
complishment is very strong. Possibly
the funambulism of elephants is one of
the lost arts of antiquity. Writing
also is All accomplishment which we
fear the animal no longer acquires.
Mucianus, the friend of Vespasian,
knew of an animal which could write a
Greek hexameter, not, however, out OF
its own head; and we have a pathetic
story OF one which, having been beaten
for being somewhat backward in its
reading-for the elephants own the
human trait of having ounces among
them found diligently coming it's
task by night. It was, however, in a
stcrner character than that of dancer
or scholar that antiquity best knew the
elephant. He was most formidable
implement of war. The Carthaginians
were the first so to utilize him in Euro
pean warfare, and it a remarkable
fact that they, and they only, have
been able to educate the African
species Of the race for human uses. 1t
may be doubted, indeed, whether the
military utility Of the animal compen-
stated for the enormous expense and
trouble which he must have caused. IF
Hannibal had not lost all his elephants
but one almost before he begnn his cam
paign he would certainly have found it
impossible to feed them. Their use, in
deed, in Western warfare has not been
frequent. One of the latest occasions
of their employment seems to have
been by the Emperor Claudius when he
invaded Britain in the third year of his
reign. They are still found, but for
show rather than use, in the military
establishments of the East. But it is
clear that they could not exist in the
face of the arms of precision. London
