THE LONE HIGHWAYMAN.

SAN FRANCISCO Nov. GA detective in
the employ of Wells-Fargo & Co. is au-
thority for the statement that the recent
series of bold stage robberies in northern
California were the work Of BLACK Bart, :"
the famous lone highwayman who robbed
thirty-one stages in this state before
finally captured five years ago and sent to
San Quentin. Bart, whose real name is
Bolles, came from Missouri and began his
robberies in 1870. For thirteen years he
completely mystified the police. His sys-
tenn was to watch stage coaches with
powerful field glasses and when no armed
guard was on the stage he would mask
himself and hold up the stage without re =
gard to the number of passengers on board.
He regularly returned money and valua-
bles to the female passengers. 1t was his
custom to leave doggerel verse on broken
express boxes. making game of detectives
He was finally caught in San FRANCISCO
and sent to San Quentin for seven years.
The detective learned that Black Bart
after his release last January went to
Visalia, in Kern county, and registered as
Moore. When the stage was robbed near
Reading last July detectives suspected
Bart and Investigated. He found all the
familiar methods used by the lone high
wayman. Since then three other stages
have been robbed in the neighborhood. al
by the same man.

AMATEUR DETECTIVES AFTER TAS-
COTT.

CHICAGO, Nov 2s-Late last night Off
Ger Dillon, while crossing Ashland boule-
ward, saw a strange looking object in front
of the house occupied by the father of VIM.
B. Tascott, for whom $4,000 reward is of
fered as the murderer of Millionaire Smell
The in-shaped figure bore resemblance to
hunchb backed man, though the hump
stood inches above and back of his
shoulders A long, crooked nose, heavy,
tangled hair and monstrous whiskers
made,his wrinkled face look as hideous as
MIR. Hyde. A long, ragged coat dragged
along the sidewalk, and half concealed
an immense pair of boots, with
which the deformed being shambled
along. The policeman stopped him. There
was no resistance. He pleaded to be re-
leased. The officer took him to the West
Lake street station, and there he was
stripped of his makeup. He was young
boy and gave his name as Ernest Am burg
At his room in the Arlington house
the police found three DISCUSSES.
one the dress of a German domestic,
another the garb of priest and a third
that of a peddler. Amburg declared that
he was on Tascott's trail, and there is no
doubt that he is monomaniac on the sub
ject The police say that the offer of $780,
600 for SHELLS murderer has had the effect
of turning loose an army of amateur de-
ectives on the land.

a tie politically. For this purpose
it seems some of the West Virginia
congressional districts have been taken
into court. Three out of the four dis
tricts, il is calculated. will be thus tied
up SO that no certificates of election can
be issued. These are the three districts
which the Republicans have undoubtedly
carried, but the West Virginia Democracy
having the state government and the
courts proposes to exercise the machinery
to prevent Republican success. This plan
is to be carried out under the assumption
that the Republicans in the
next house have only three major.
ity counting the three West Vir-
ginia members. By tying these member
ships up in the courts it is suspected the
Democrats hope to leave the house a tie.
This would give the present organization
an advantage in organizing the Fifty-first
congress The plan is rather ingenious,
ann may possibly be deemed indicative
of desperation, but there is no
reason to believe that it will sue
coed. Senator Quay and the Republican
managers still maintain that even without
the three West Virginian members the
Republican party will have majority of
six in the next house. Should the Repub-
llcans succeed in getting justice in West
Virginia before the E'ifty-fi congress
meets the Republican majority will be

LONDON WOOL SALES.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The wool sales were
to have begun today, but owing to the
opposition among the dealers to farthing
bids no progress was made An hour be-
fore the time set for the sales a meeting
was held to decide upon what action
should be taken i'll view of the proposed
farthing bids decided upon by the Wool
association, There was large attendance
and much excitement prevailed. A reso-
luton was passed by an overwhelming
majority opposing farthing bids, and call
ing upon the association to reverse their
action. This the association declined to
do, as they stated that they were acting in
the interest of their colonial principals.
The meeting adjourned until tomorrow,
when course of action will be decided
upon. A sale was then attempted under
the new bids, buG there was such Uumultu p.
Gus opposition that no transactions were
made.

THE SOUTHERN IDEA.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 2S.-The Dis
patch has been for some days agitating the
question of a constitutional convention to
prescribe an educational qualification for
for voters. The Dispatch tomorrow will
say editorialy: We have scant respect for,
or patience with those southern newspa-
pers and political hand-politicians who
hesitate to discuss their local affairs unre-
servedly for fear of giving offense in
Kansas or Ohio Our idea is that Alabama
should manage Alabamas affairs in
her own way, and that if Kansas and Ohio
want to walk the floor also they shall be
allowed 10 do so. We said Yesterday that
the legislature ought to call a constitu-
tional convention for the purpose of adopt
ing and defining new qualifications for
voters in Alabama. We repeat this morn
ing. We urge it with all the earnestsess
at our command. Every calamity we have
suffered in the past every peril that men
aces US in the future is directly refera bic
TO the fact that the right of suffrage then
resided and now resides with a
vast body of men untitled by ignor-
auce and degradation TO exercise it for the
good of society Bot for the memory of
the travail and the terror through which
we passed in the dark period lying between
1866 and 1916 we could look back over our
past without the lightest gossamer of re-
gret, but for the dread of what the Repub
licau restoration may bring forth. we
could face the future with heart OF hope.
The curse, however, hens US in. Behind
US lies the ghastly record OF
ten years of horror. Before Us
stretches the dilating vistas of alarm,
do we long for the day when no presidents
frovn will threaten our repose, and when
the conspiracies OF party henchmen will
trouble Us less than the lightest zephyr
that ripples down a moonbeams Would
we be politically free ourselves. then let rs
rise up and swear we will have it so. Har-
rison, with Foraker, Fairchild, Halstead
and Medill yelping at his heels, is clamor-
ing for free ballot and fair count.
