CHALMERS WITHDRAWS

General James r. Chalmers, the re-
Mississippi, has withdrawn. He did
this to avert bloodshed. He had sew
eral times been warned that if he con-
tinued the convass the killing of
negroes would commence and it would
be charged to him. In every possible
way he has been harrassed since he
entered upon his campaign. Not long
since he visited the town of West
Point, where he was asked to make
speech and consented to do
so. But he could secure no
hall in which to hold
meeting, the mayor would not allow
speaking in the streets. owners of prop
erty would not allow it to be used for
the purpose. and General Chalmers was
not heard at West Point.
He wrote to Il friend as to the chances
of being allowed to speak in the town
of Columbus. and was advised to keep
away from that place. He was informed
that the universal sentiment OF the
community was that he would be
neither fairly nor kindly treated.
81 have heard the best men," wrote
this friend of General Chalmers,
'men who are regarded as conserva-
tive, say that you would be personally
abused if you attempted to speak IN
Columbus. Indeed, threats of violence
are openly made by many aud applauded
by others. The representative negroes
have requested me to beg of you that
you do not go to Columbus, as they
however innocent, will have TO suffer
from the imagined wrongs that
it is said you do our civilization.
Finding. this TO be the general state
of affairs in Mississippi, Genera
Chalmers decided that the only
course for him was to withdraw. He
might have been willing to face shot
guns in the hands of Mississippi demo
Gratis If only his own life had been a
stake, but he did not wish to put the
lives OF others in peril.
No elaboration is necessary to poin
the moral of this circumstance, or u
give force TO the testimony it bears re
| garding the spirit and character OF Mis-
sissippi democracy. General Chal
mers was prominent in the
confederate cause and has en-
| joyed the fullest confidence o
| the friends of that cause. Were ht
a democratic candidate he would bt
honored everywhere in Mississippi b!
| the dominant element. But having
| Identified himself with the republican
party he is everywhere denied publi'
hearing, his personal safety threatened
aud the lives OF his friends and sup

work done will be the laying of the concrete
foundations for the tower on the southwest
corner of the new structure. The latter viii
be twenty-slX feet square at the base, while
the concrete will be thirty eight feet square
and four feet deep, The concrete for the
walls will be from eleven feet two inches TO
thirteen feet wide and two feet deep.
lhe tower, as designed by the architects,
will project five feet into the sidewalks, both

making the plans conform TO the ordinances.

THE NElv REGTSyBAT TION

There is danger that n large number
of our citizens will be disfranchisad at
the coming election. The registi alton
badly adapted to the wants of large
city.
To begin with, it restricts registra-
tion to certain days and fixed hours. 1t
is almost out of question that the twen-
ty-five thousand, voters in Omaha and
South Omaha can be registered in the
time to which the law limits the reg
istrars, even if the provisions are not
rigidly complied with. The great ma
Ority of our voters are wage-workers.
They cannot possibly leave their work
in the middle of the day to get them
selves registered.
The only hours in which registrars
will sit in the evening is between and
O'Clock for one day of each of four
weeks before election. The law pro-
hibits registration after 9p. NJ. With
the numerous questions which are
to be propounded to each voter,
the most expert registrar will
not be able to register more
than fifty voters IN two hours, or
two hundred in the four days. The re-
suit will be that more than one-half the
legal electors of this city will be dis
franchised.
While the law does not absolutely
prohibit citizens who are not registered
from voting at an election, there is so
much red-tape and affidavit making re-
quired as condition for allowing an
unregistered citizen to vote tl.at it will
make it next to impossible for citizens
| whose time is limited to exercise their
| rights.
There is bare possibility, however,
that this registration law may be de-
clared void by the courts on account of
| radical defects. But it will not do for
voters to count upon that. Each and
| every voter must present himself in
| person before the registrars and regis
ter. otherwise he will not be given a
voice in the coming election.

THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT.

THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT.
1t has been reported that the dele
gates of Chilli and the Argentine Re
public to the congress OF the Americas
were very much opposed to the election
Of Secretary Blaine as president of tho
congress, and that in consequence there
was danger of these two countries not
being represented in the conference.
The enemies of Mr.. Blaine have made
the most of this story, but it turns out
that it had not the least foundation in
fact. The Chilian minister is author
ity for the statement that
there was no opposition whatever to
Mr.. Blame personally, the only question
being as to whether he could properly
be chosen to preside over the congress,
not being delegate. When it was de-
cided that his selection would be proper
there was no opposition whatever, and
the minister says that with one accord
all the delegates are pleased with his
selection.
There can be no doubt of the propriety
or appropriateness OF Mr.. Blaine presid-
ing over the n-American congress. A
precedent for his dong so is supplied
by the fact that Bismarck was president
of a similar conference held in Berlin
in 1878, and Mr.. Blaine is entitled tC
this consideration by virtue of his hav-
ing originated the project of holding
the congress. OF his fitness, also, there
can be no question. His brief address
at the organization of the congress wa:
so judlcious and tactful that it has
received nothing but cordial commen-
dation, and his superior ability as 6
presiding officer is well known. Nc
other man has the qualifications tc
make a more favorable impression upot
the foreign delegates.
The congress will reassemble ii
November with perfect harmony ane
good feeling among its members, and IL
that spirit will undoubtedly continue tt
| the close of its deliberations.
