Devices Of Indian Criminals.


Some curious devices practiced by
criminals are mentioned by the writer OF
series q articles in The Times OF hdis
on "By. paths Of Crime In India" One
curiosity which he wrs shown OH 4 visit
to the Presidency jail in Calcutta was q
heavy lead bullet about threequartert
Of an inch in diameter. This was found
on an habitual thief and was being used
to form a pouch or bag in the throat for
secreting money. jewels, ETC.. in the
event Of his being searched. The ball H.

slide down gently until it reaches some
part near the cpiglottis, whore 10 10 held

half an hour at a time. This operation
is repeated many times daily, and grad
ually a sort OF pocket is formed. the time
being longer or shorter according to the
size OF pocket required. liz sezs odsss

A Story the Other yyav.

Two young women and a young
man climbed on top of Fifth avenue
stage one day last week and settled down
on one Of the back seats for pleasant
ride up the avenue. The young women
were of the prim sort. and were evident
ly not used to travelling on the hurricane
deck of vehicle. On the seat with tbe
driver was fashionsbly dressed man
smoking an exeellens cigar. and enjoy
ing himself to his hearts content The
smoke was waited back, but il was
rather enjoyed by all on the stage eI

didn't like, or at least they pretended
not to like H.

one.
He ought to know better than to
SMOKE on the stage" said the other.
"We!l, some people dost know enough
to stop smoking when Ass are ladies'
around"
"Some one should complain to the
officers OF the company about IT,.
The gentlemsa sitting with the driver
heard all that was said, and it was svi-

But I've smoked right on, aad didn't seem
b care whether the officials Of he com

Young women kept on making remarks
and his position was little enbarrass-

As the stage halted he TUNED to the
young man who was with the prin
young ladies and said: IL have heard a
good deal of what has been said about

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

THE DEMOCEATIC VICTORY.
The State Of Virginia has passed an
other horrible ordeal and re-establisheo
its conservatism after strain on the
puplic feeling that was all the harder
thai il was unnecessary.
AS in 1883, when confronted with The
threat of a mob rule directed by pc
litical pirate. the people Of Virginia act
ed with the instinct Of popular sove'
reignty. and the majority Of that sove
reipnty, while speaking with the voice
OF the people. can do no wrong when
the right is so well understood.
1t is in vain that the Radical dema-
gogues who seek to pervert the spirit
OF our institutions, attempt 10 denounce
our people. They know that it is the
Quay. Dudley, Malone combination
that opposes freedom. and they know
their own crime against the constitu-
tional rights of the people.
II unanimous popular sentiment
moves in the direction of the people,
rights, the sentiment cannot be brought
before court or before an investigating
committee of Congress.
If Malone and his piratical minions
had provoked riots. the people of Vir
ginia could not have been brought be
fore court for any action they may have
taken TO preserve order.
But now we come to the remedy for
all this trouble: Since 1888, when the
great rescue of the State was achieved
the Democratic Legislature has left the
yeople at the mercy Of a gang OF black
and white savages, when the people
naturally expected them to put the
election laws in such form as to let law
preside at elections and free the people
from the horrible alternative of meet
ing violence and fraud.
We think the people of Virginia will
expect of the incoming Legislature
that law be passed that shall CLEARLY
define the franchise and provide for
the appointment of other judges o.
election in case of the absence of the
regularly appointed judges. Severa
of the Northern States give us til,
models of an educational qualification.
and we should at once pass such q law
as has been tried successfully.

Tile pOpIIAR VERDICT.

1t fell on Malone like trip hammer.
He IS SO badly mashed out that there
is no chance of another contract to sell
this State on the auction block.
The people have arisen in their might
and majesty and declared that they
will not he hypothecated by political
stock jobbing machine by creature
ike Billy Malone.
This ought to be the last of ''boodlen
politics in this State.
Not only the Democrats, but the re-
spectacle Republicans, joined in the
popular cry against piratical politics.
Virginia sends her greeting TO the
whole country, and can say that we are
safe, and that business and society and
politics are so arranged that we can in
vite capital and promise it the best re.
suits.

SHALL WE CONTINUE TO DIsCRIMI-
NATE AGAINST OUR OWN RACE:
~y-~s.~- - ~-~>s>e~1.~ A~,c~ IN

SHALL WE CONTiNUE TO DISCRtmI-
NATE AGAINST OUR OWN RACE:
The election of yesterday being an
event OF history. however recent,
there are certain lines Of conduct with
reference to our black population, which
our citizens have pursued hitherto,
which they ought now to ponder over
carefully, with view to q radical
change Of policy in the future.
II is known to us all that the negroes
exercise the franchise with practical
unanimity in opposition TO the mass Of
intelligent. respectable and property
holding whites. No one doubts for an
instant. that if the negro element was
eliminated from our vo pg trength,
there would be no ground what for
apprehension whenever an appeal was
made to the popular will.
This being the acknowledged state Of
the case, is it either just or sxpehen ut in
us to continue to give, beyond what
common humanity demands, any form
Of encouragement to population
whose natural inclinations and numeri-
eel power are consciously and intention
ally directed 70 our total ruin in every
serious emergency? Above all, we would
most earnesllyask our citizens.is it either
just IN a moral sense, expedient in a
business, to discriminate against in
iiyiduals Of our own race in favor Of
negroes. who. we are fully aware, are
actively hostile to every interest and
feeling that we have? i.
In the whole course of the can{saign
that closed on yesterday, no class is our
midst showed a more resolute and ear
nest spirit than our white workingmeS
Of every grade. This was true Of tEe
same class IN every part Of the State.
The owners Of great manufacturing es-
ADJUSTMENTS in this city and elsewhere
were not more deeply interested in Sc
curing Democratic success than The
white operatives in their employment.
And yet we venture to say that there
are few, If there are any. manufacture
ing establishments in this State in
which there are not very many posi-
tions occupied by Republican negroes
which could not be at once filled by
Democratic whites. This is certainly
true Of all the great iron and tobacco
establishments of this city, which, with
very few exceptions, are presided over
By the irmest Democrats.
We understand well the reasons that
lead such men to employ negroes.
Black employees, as a rule, work for
cheaper wages; they are more easily
managed, and are much less disposed
to strike.
But are these advantages Of negro
labor such as to justify our employers
IN rejecting white workiDgmen who
are in full sympathy with the essential
interests Of the community, for black
workingmen who. in every important
election, cast their votes in way to de-
stroy not only the prosperity of the
community, but the very community
itself? Our employers can better afford
o pay higher wages and to suffer occa-
sional inconvenience, than to stultify
their political professions by pursuing
a course of action which is really op.
posed to their true interests, and which
is most unjust to our white working
men.

passed a spurious check on II. 7. Miller

the Commercial Bank. The name OF Z
well known Danville citizen was forged
but no attempt was made to initiate the

when they refused 10 do so. Lankley
then passed, pushing one of them
aside, when the negro cursed
the white man. While the
two were cursing and abusing
each other, Charles Redd, negro man.
who was standing near by. took the
quarrel in hand. and cursed Lanklsy
and then whipped out a pistol. which

shooting the negro quietly walked of

THE lesson pf yesterday may be good
for the Republican party to teach them
that though they may buy a legsla-
ture they cannot buy State or the pop
ular vote.
But. 1t Is also good lesson 10 the
negroes, to teach them that they have
been herded and sold without getting
anything.
All they have done is to degrade
themselves and try TO harm the Stale
that educates and employs them.

THE issue between the respectability
aud decsncy on one side, and tho pirate
gang on the other. has been sharp and
decisive. The people of Virginia have
decided, and it is useless for Mr.. Billy
Malone to appeal on writ Of error,
which no court will hear. He has tried
desperately to carry the Legislature,
and has failed.
Catching at the last straw, he has
thought il possible to make himself
Senator after failing TO De Governor.
The fact is that but few Republicans
elected to the Legislature would vote
for Malone, even if they had been silly
enough to promise TO do so.
