PHILADELPHIA IN MOURNING,

PHILADELPHIA, April 13.-News ofthe
death of Randall was received with sor-
row by many friends in this city, although
not at all unexpected. Flags were half
masted on many prominent buildings.
Political gossip is already rife, that
there is likely to. be bitter struggle
among the Democratic leaders of this city
for control of the convention which will
name Rabdal's successor. The district
is Democratic, but the fight now in pros,
pect may result in the election of Re-
publican. The only avowed candidate
yet is State Senator William McAley, who
has been fighting Randsll's friends all his
life. Half dozen candidates may be in
the field against him, however, as soon as
the funeral is over, if not before.

A HEAVY TAX.

In every large city there are places dis- tinguished for being the abiding place of what are called "ths dregs of humanity" Dr. J. B. Russell, health officer of the city of Glasgow, has been making study of the cost of neglected resort of poverty and crime in Glasgow. The result is interesting. Of the burials 37 per cent. were at public cost, of the births about 55 per cent, of the vaccination required by law all is done at the city's expense. In this district 1000 inspections of nuisanoes, 300 of common lodging houses and 2,e00 of tioketed houses are made yearly, and the official time con- sumed in this work is about four times as much in proportion to the population as for for the rest of the oity. Besides this, the charges for removing nuisances, police and court outlay and cleansing and disinfeotinR houses, arc enormously greater than else. where. This one region costs the city three or four times as much as other parts of equal area and population. On the other hand, it pays practically nothing to the city. More than half the housholders escape taxation, and those who do pay, pay on a very small valuation. About the only money that goes out is that paid for gas and water, and this is paid because the gas company has been given power to demand deposit in advance and because the houseowners are made re- sponsible for the water rents when the tenant pays less than certain rent. The same causes that secure payment here tend to restrict the use of water and gas.
 This is only another illustration of the fact that the more respectable and able part of the people in civilized communities are heavily taxed by the other kind. And the worst of 1t Is, there is at present no prospect of relief.

BETTER THAN MURDER.

"A1x6B8 THAN Ok6DNk6s
 Some interesting information concerning the ingenuity displayed in suppressing the negro vote in the Southis furnished by the testimony in the case of Waddill against Wise for the third Virginia congressional district. The Virginia Democrats didn't want to shoot negroes, but they didn't mean to have them vote, and therefore when the colored voter presented himself at the polls he was confronted by about fifty Democratic ''challengers." Nearly every colored voter was challenged and all those challenged were examined under oath, the examination being prolonged to the utmost possible limit by the asking of all sorts of frivolous and irrele- want questions in order to waste time. Ad- vantage was taken of all the mistakes made with view to this proceeding by the Demo- cratic registration officers weeks before, by sending the voter home after hs= had been delayed by his examination in order to get his registration number, and, upon his re- turn, telling him that 1t was the wrong num- Der and that he must 30 back and verify it. On an average twelve white men could vote in the time 1t took one colored voter to get in his ballot. Gray-headed old men were re- quirsd to state under oath whether they were over tweuty-one, tell when they were married, the names, ages and occupations of their children, and answer other questions equally irrelevant.
 The Virginia way is better than shooting, but it Is as effective in preventing the negro from voting.

 The Lock Leven trout was recently intro duced into this country. It ia indigenous to Loch Leven, Loch Scene, Loch Lomond and the River Forth in Scotland. It's back is of an olive green and the lateral line Is bor- dered with large dark, almost black spots, some round, some shaped like an X and some like XX. The spots are very irregular and very distinct. Its peculiar habit is to fight under water, never rising to shake itself out of water like. the winninish of Lake St. Jchn. The Loch Leven trout is considered by good authorities @ variety of the German brown trout, now becoming popular in this country.
 One of the most interminable law suits ever tried in Austro-Hungary was recently brought to an end in Buda-Pesth. Bishop Ladislaus Demendy died in 1419, and besides the ancestral estates of Tesser and Demendy, left more than 100000 acres of land to his heirs. The sway of the Turks, however, who seized the lands, prevented the family from gaining possession of the vast inheritance a' the time. But after the Turkish sway wal over they took their case to the courts, de- manded their rights, and secured judgment recognizing their title and ordering the resti tuition in integrum. The division of ths land was, however, no easy matter. Th' number of heirs had increased greatly in thu meantime, and 1t was difficult to decide whs was entitled to share in the settlement.

was begun on September 15, 1768, and the final decision obtained after . lapse of 121
 years. The estate hes been controlled, in the
 meantime, by family council, but the costs
 of administration have been 90 great that
 only 8S, 900 forins remained to represent the former great fortune. Three hundred of the 2,000 heirs attended the final meeting few weeks ago. The lawyer of the heirs laid be- fore them huge volume containing the family tree in all its numerous branches.
 For this he received 10000 aorins, in addi- tion to 6,00O Aorins voted him for his ser- vices during the last three years. Conse- quently but 22,00O aorins remained to be
 divided among the 2,000 heirs. The share of
 each amounted to il aorins, after waiting 470 years.
 General s. B. Anthony Is one of the men
 who know something about the negro
 question. In his speech the other day at
 Boston he turned his attention to the race
 problem in the South, saying that there was
 great deal of misunderstanding on the part
 of the North regarding the South. The word South, he continued, means very large ter ritory. You speak of the South as a whole
 as all bad, but in eight of the Southern States it is admitted there ia no trouble, but they
 are held responsible for the acts of the oth- CTS. In the other Southern States there are occasional outrages, which are due, largely,
 to the peculiar temperament of the people,
 which the people of the North cannot under stend. They cannot understand the peculiar
 relations of the negroes to the whites. What would you do if you had this great prepon- derance of negroes among you! You don't
 know. No one can know till it has been
 tried. The negro is a great political and social element, which has to be met by the South. It is not his political condition that makes the trouble, but his social standing.
 Fully one-half of them live in a worse and
 more degraded condition than when in sla-
 very, and under hopeless burden of debt. This fig due to the contract systems of labor,
 which disoriminates in favor of the employer.
 And that is most sdeplorable condition. This is due partly to ignorance and partly to
 drink. The work of redeeming these people is not to be found in the education afforded by the schools. It is net the spelling book that is to do the work. What they want ia practical intelligence. They want to know
 that corn is king and not cotton. Our work is not culture such as you are getting here. It is to make them appreciate the necessity of knowing how to plant corn and raise grass.
 When they learn these, the race problem will
 be largely solved. It is not the vote they
 Al H. l.
 with white people. and to occupy seats with them in theaters. It is moral force and
 practical common sense they need. It Is not
 political but practical education that Is the great hope of the South.
