even Mr. Dudley himself, who. better
than Mr.. Harrison, knows about the
shameless, corrnpt use Of money at tho

else was the use of it more shameless
than in his own State. No ono should
know better than he that, il his corrupt
use OF money is not stopped, elections
will speedily cease to represent the will
OF the people, aud viii only represent
the most Infamous pollution Of the bnl-
lot. There is no ono in the entire

discourage aud prevent this abuse. He
is bound by every private aud public
obligation to discou nteraucs and con-

RACE REJECTION.

The statement that negroes are charged
higher premium than whites by life
insurance companies, is at variance with
the popular idea that the former are
constitutionaIly stronger than the latter.
Representative Oates, who has been in
vestigating the subject, says that the
assertion that the blacks are increasing
in numbers more rapidly than the whites
ii the South is untrue, that while their
birth rate is greater their death rate is
also much greater It would seem from
this that the fear entertained in some
quarters of ultimate, physical and nu-
merical superiority on the part of the
negro over the Southern white people, is
groundless.
The only important change in the
status OF the negro, which is confirmed
by all authorities, is that he is gradually
growing blaeller. 1t is also true that as
his blood grows purer, race characters
tics become more marked in his conduct
and temperament, as well as in his fea-
lures.
The negro of to-day is nearer the negro
of slavery times than the negro of ten
years ago. The fact may not be encour-
aging to the Cables and the Tourgees,
but nature speaks with higher authority
than the penny-a-liners. 1t is strange
that they have omitted for so long time
to bring under review the wisdom dis
played in the creation and endowment of
the race which utterly fails to respond to
their forcing processes.

Two Oeala ella ladies are the happy

Edward II, who reigned over England in

Crows have become so abundant in
Maine that it is estimated they cost the
state 500, 900 a year in corn, potaroeo,
young chickens, fruit, grain and the
like. The next Legislature will be asked
to pass a law giving bounty of ten cents
for every dead crow.
The practice of concentrating the
anniversaries Of deaths by an aCivertise-
ment in the newspapers is growing very
fashionable in England. A notice ap-
peared in Liverpool paper the other day
reminding the world of the death of q
four months-old child who became an
angel thirty-six years ago.
A cigarette smoker makes this suggeS-
tion to cigarette manufacturers: Among
cigarette consumers the chief trouble is
keeping on hand supply of matches.
The manufacturer who incloSes little
box of wax matches in each package of
cigarettes win catch the trade. In build
ings where the electric light is used aud
matches are scarce, the brand will sell to
the exclusion of all others.
The abolition of slavery in Brazil is said
to have had deplorable effect upon the
industries of the empire, and financial
crash is anticipated. The wants of the
freedmen being few they win not work
steadily. Habits of industry and thrift
are yet to be acquired. The financial
outlook is SO unfavorable that bank
shares and similar securities have suf-
fered a decline of 80 to 80 per cent.
An old-time mining excitement is in
full blast in Southern California aud Ar
iona, as the result of recent discoveries.
The Mexicans brought into Yuma large
quantity of pure gold, which they said
they had obtained in Southern Califor-
mia, about 100 miles from Yuma. They
had been prospecting in locality that
was abandoned only recently by hostile
Indians, who had kept miners out of the
country for years. The MeXicans said
the gold was easily worked, and they
would have stayed there longer and
brought out more if their provisions had
lasted. Their story set every body in
Yuma crazy with the gold fever, and
rush to the new fields has begun.
