. A white gentleman from Beaufort tells the Charleston News and Courier that the talk about race conflict in that capital of the black district is all bosh. The ne- groes, he says, are orderly, sober and in- dustrious. They are respectful and polite in all their dealings with their white neigh bors. On Saturdays, when there are hun dreds of colored people on the streets, la- dies never hesitate to go on the streets. They know that they are safe. The color ed people themselves would deal with any one of their race who should dare to insult lady. ->- ----.. -.-
 s'The live animals sent here as presents are getting to be nuisance to the Harri- son family" writes an Indianapolis core spondent. ''It is found impossible to lose them as fast as they come in. The beaver had scarcely effected it's more or less mys- terious escape when new eagle arrived, and buffalo calf, and several other things are reported on the way. Besides this, the man who owns another campaign eagle, which has been quartered in big cage in the courtyard of the new Dennison, has asked the general to take that bird with him to Washington. T am not going to do it, General Harrison said this afternoon. T will have all I can do feeding the office seekers, let alone eagles.'"

JESSE BEECHER.
Particulars Concerning His Life
and Death.

To the Editor of the Western Kansas World:
Jesse Beecher was killed by lightning
during an electric storm Friday evening,
July ID, 1888, near his residence, in Nor
Ian township, Graham county, Kansas.
Mr.. Beecher was born in Lancaster Co.,
Ohio, May II, 1874; moved with his pa
rents to the state of Missouri at the age
of ten years; enlisted in the o. s. army in
1863, and served his country almost three
years; emigrated from Missouri to Rocks
county, Kansas, in the year 1871, and re-
sided there until in the spring of 1879,
when he moved to Graham county; was
married to Ella G. Lott, of Trego county,
December 25, 1882, since which time they
have lived happily at their home, in Ora
ham county.
Mr.. Beecher was we'll known through
out Graham, Rocks and Trego counties.
He was q prosperous stock dealer IN these
counties. As a business man, he was
known for his honesty, and was we'll
liked by every one. As neighbor, he was
beloved for his generosity, wise counsel
and brobterly kindness As q brother, he
was one of Americas noblest sons.
In departing this life, Mr.. Beecher
leaves q wife and three children to mourn
the loss of a loving and beloved husband
and father. The mourning ones have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many friends.

Mr.. Nelson understood thoroughly our
position toward him. He knew that our
friends did not want to lay straw in his
way. He knew that all our friends want
ed was fair play. He knew that fair plav
in the premises was construed by our
friends to mean Nelson for senator and
Tilton for representative. S. ]. Osborn
also understood this. Both these men
knew that this construction of our friends
as to what constituted fair play was cor
rect. But fair play was not what thew

his boyhood he was a lover of the woods
and streams, and in 1888, by observation
Of the natural methods Of propagation in
the Salmon river in this state, got his first
idea that fish might be raised artifcially.
He continued studying fish life until 1864.
when on a small piece of land that he
bought neal Rochester he put his theo-
ries into practice, and succeeded in pro-
ducing fry from twenty five per cent OF
the eggs that he experimental Upon.
Salmon were Matched first and then trout.
Afterward whitefsh, carp, bass, sturgeon,
Crawling, herring, perch, muskallonge,
and a number of other food fishes, were
successfully raised at Mr.. Green's hatch

Of Massachusetts,, he went to Holyoke,

REPUBLICANS still peruse THE LEADER
when looking for their party news.
Blaine's speech is printed in THE LEADER
in full, while the Suns telegraph page is
filed up with specials from twenty-four to
forty-eight hours old out of the Denver

1t should be added hat Democrats also

pie question of giving the news we play
no favorites. We give the fullest reports

years ago and helped to build the Union
Pacific from Omaha to Ogden. He saw
the rough days at Cheyenne. and one
morning at that place helped to cut down
nine men who had been lynched."
Mr.. Crymble may have been a soldier
in the late war and he may have had great
experience as presiding officer at many
hanging bees, but he never helped to cut
down uine men who had been lynched in
Cheyenne, for the very good reason that
nine men have never been lynched, either
collectively or separately, in the history
of the town. Five lynchings all told have
occurred here and two legal executions.
Wild aud woody as Cheyenne may have
been, Judge Lynch's greatest record here
is two men hanged in one evening. Pre-
varication is one thing and history is an
other.

A GREAT deal of iniudicious comment
has been aroused by the publication of a
statement that Frankfurt was convinced
that the Democrats could not carry New
York and had SO expressed himself. The
Republican papers rung the changes on
this statement with ill.concealed delight.
The following communication from Mr..
Hurd to the New York San should give
an effectual quietus to the canard:

v~ersatiOn with me in which it is alleged

passed through it on my way to Washing
tom, have no means of knowing its poll
teal situation, and have neither formed Or
expressed an opinion as to what the result
of the election there is likely to be.
Your editorial in the Sun of this
morning based upon the false statement
referred to, does me an injustice which
ask you to repair by the publication Of
this note. Respectfully,

JNO. f. CARROLL. Editor.
SUFFRAGE IN WASHING7 ON.

The New York World of Sunday con
tains an editorial article which possesses
much more than ordinary local interest,
particularly at this time. We give it in
full: The opinion delivered on Wednes-
day by the chief justice of Washington
Territory tends to confirm the proposition
that the woman s~uffragists will not be able
to find their way to the ballot box through
the favor of the courts. The decision in
this case is that the territorial Legislative
power is derived wholly from congress,
and that no authority being given by that
body for other than male suffrage the local
act granting women the privilege of voting
is null and void.
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin not
very long G decided that women could
not reach the polls through a forced in
depreciation of the letter of the law. They
had been empowered by the Legislature to
vote on matters pertaining to schools. Ia
the rural districts the boards of education
were voted for directly, but in the cities
the mayors and aldermen had power in
the premises. Hence the claim was made
that could vote for these general
municipal officers, and a lower court sus-
tanned il. But the act was cunningly
worded by its Trainer to deceive, and the
court Of appeal decided that it was not
passed with the intention of extending
suffrage thus far, and that it should not
be so construed.
Evidently no sophlstry in regard to
the meaning OF the word citizen" as
used in the constitutions, national and
state, nor the absence of prohibitory
clauses in those instruments. will endow
women with suffrage. 1t is something
which, if won at all, must be won by hon.
estly influencing public sentiment and by
new and direct legislation. The sooner
tricks are dropped and this policy alone
adopted the better. The attempt to bring
woman suffrage in by way of the ~territor-
les without the sanction Of congress, it
seems, will fail, since the stream cannot
rise higher than its source. The advocacy
Of the cause in the open field Will gain for
it greater respect and render the progress
it may make the more substantial"
