AN INSTANCE NORTH.

There has been much unhappiness
with Republican operators over the
failure of SO he people in the South to
vote. and the figures will show that the
unpOlled vote in the states of which
there has been special complaint is
about equally divided between whites
andtblacks. There is no legal restraint
upon voters in those sections, and it
will be easy to find fragrant instances
of injustice in Republican states. For
instance, in Connecticut, New Haven,
with $4,000 population, has just the
same representation in the legislature
as the little town of 400 people. Bridge
port, with $4,000, has no more than the
small borough. As result of this the
Democrats are deprived of the senators,
although they usually have the larger
popular vote. They have no chance to
gain the legislature. The state officers
also go to the minority in the same way.
The two senators of that state are ex-
pected to vote for the bill designed to
give the South fair elections as alleged.

DAvENPORT,s DODGE,

That was rather singular statement
made by Judge BAXTER during the He
GEMAN investigation yesterday when
he stated that the reason he had in
Stituted the proceedings in the nature
of an information was because he had
asked Supervisor DAVENPORT to make
the complaint and that officer had re-
fused to do it. And there is no one
who doubts the truthfulness of Judge
BAxTER's statement. 1t shows at what
disadvantage the government is placed
when the officials who ought to be
foremost in the prosecution of these
census frauds are not only tardy and
negligent, but are actually placing
themselves in the way as obstacles to
prevent the prosecution. Whatever
doubt may exist as to the original con-
spiracy, there can be none as to the
conspiracy of certain United States
officials to defeat the prosecution. Dis
trict Attorney HAYS remarkable con-
duct throughout this entire case,
coupled with Supervisor DAvENPoRT's
still more remarkable behavior, justfies
the wisdom of the attorney general in
committing the prosecution of these
cases to disinterested parties. 1t is
hard Shedding for the government to
fight its own law officers to getat crime,
yet there is not much danger that the
case will miscarry. General COTTON
and Judge BAXTER understand their
business, and they are going to get to
bottom OF this matter, if they have TO
fight it on one line all summer.

HIS BRIDE WAS DEATH.
On the Eve of His Marriage a
FIOridian Commits Suicide.

On the Eve of His Marriage
FIoridian Commits Suicide.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla, July 23.-G.
Tate Carr, of Ocala, shot himself at
Romeo to-day, on the eve Of his mar
riage to Miss Rubin Weston, of the lat
ter town, and the affair has
produced profound sensation.
Carr went down to Romeo on a
special engine last night, ride of
twenty-one miles. The marriage was
to have taken place at $50 this morn
ing. A wedding breakfast was to fol-
low and bridal trip to the West. VIII
Weston, brother of the bride, assisted
the groom to dress. His toilet was
nearly completed when Carr asked Yves
ton to go out into another room and
get pair of suspeDders. While absent
young Weston heard a shot, and return
ing, found Carr OH the bed with bullet
hole in his temple. 1t was learned to-
day that before Carr took the engine
he applied to several parties for a
pistol, saying it was some dis
lance from the depot to DR.. Wes-
toms residence, and he wanted some
thing to protect himself i'm case of dan
ger, and he got George Battles pistol.
Carr had been dealing extensively IN
phosphate lands and was reported to
have made $25, 900 by recent traDsac-
lions. 1t is learned, however, that the
cash did not materialize, and failure to
raise money by loan for the expense of
the wedding trip is supposed to have
induced the suicide. Carr came from
Illinois five years ago and was a young
man of good habits and business ability.

MACHINE MUSIC.

The convention which will assemble
at the Newmarket hall this morning
will be most conventional affair.
Everything will be conducted on gilt
edged plan and according to the printed
schedule. 1t will be an oversight on
the part of the master of ceremonies if
the ballots are not handed in on silver
plates and the tellers are not dressed in
livery.
The convention has been called to-
gether by machine mandate, and its
purpose is to renominate Gov. MER-
RAM. 1t is to the credit of the govern
or's henchmen that they have earned
their salary by strict attention to the
business in hand and by the most polite
servility. The object for which the
convention was called will be attained
without hitch, flaw or a struggle.
Gov. MERRIAM will be Tenomiuated
with an outpour Of enthusiasm which
has been in stock for several months
and which has been carefully bottled
lest it should evapoi ate. And then the
machine organs will begin their 50 per
column talk about the spontaneous up
rising of the Republican masses, which
forced denomination on the unwilling
nominee, who made a sacrifice of his
personal wishes and interests in order
to accommodate the public.
There will be some scuffiing for SUBJ
ordinate places on the ticket, but it will
not amount to contest. A number of
candidates are in the field for the Offices
of auditor and secretary of state, who
have been Iured into the belief that
they stand show for the nomination.
But, as matter of fact. the whole
ticket has been slated some time ago.
The bosses have agreed upon whom
they want, and only the elect will be
given place on the ticket. The whole
programme is cut and dried, and will be
carried out to the letter.

self has the assurance of machine sup
port when he comes to buck against
CUSH DAVIS in the next senatorial con.
test. The Great Northern accomplishes
its aim by jerking BRADEN out of the
auditors Office and putting man in
his place who will be friendly to the
pine land ring. The Minneapolis folks
have the promise of the governors in
fluence in squelching the census pro-
ceedings. So that, taking all things
together, there is prospect of abundant
harmony to-day in the work of for
mally registering the will of the ma
chine.
It is fortunate for the Republican
bosses that they are to have such
smooth sailing in their convention.
They will have rough seas. swept by
destructive cyclones, when they get
out. 1t will not be a dress parade
affair when the battle of the ballot be-
gins, for there is going to be more
music to the square inch in the APP
nroaohIn0 oamnaiUp than has ever
been heard in this state.

LONDON. July 23.-The Dutch steam

dam, passed Isle of Wight to-day. She
signalled that the National line steamer
Egypt, Capt. Sumner, from New York,

doned on fire at sea. and that her crew
were on board the British tank steamer
Manhattan, Capt. Robinson, from New
York, July 9, for Hull, and would be
landed at Dover. The Egypt did not
carry any first-cla passengers. The
Egypt was an iron screw steamer of
1859 net tons and 1910 gross tons bur-
den. She was built at Liverpool in
1871. In addition to the crew there
were on board twenty-five cattlemen
and about 400 head of cattle.

ADVANTAGES ABROAD.

Some of the migrants of the summer
to the old world are returning, but the
outflow has not fallen off. and Will not
for some little time. There is no par
ticular reason why good many people
should not go to Europe and spend some
of their surplus means If they care to.
There IS something to be seen. good
deal to be learned and reasonable
amount of satisfaction to be derived
from the climatic and other conditions.
Mr.. PHELPS, the minister at B erlin, is
inclined to excess of enthusiasm in esti-
mating that the benefits to be derived in
Germany alone will compensate for the
estimated $3.50. 900, 600 spent over there by
Americans. He thinks they will find
much of this compensation in new
knowledge of household economies and
rational methods of enjoyment. These
lessons could be more cheaply taught
by the German migrants to this country,
and it is doubtful whether those who go
abroad care to pursue studies in econ
omies. As st. Paul said about marry
ing. it is good thing. but better not to.
Most people eau find more advantage in
not going over the water.

One of the surprises Of the census is
that Illinois has pushed past Ohio to the
third place in population. This is
claimed. at least. If the final figures
confirm the claim, it will be found due
to the great growth of Chicago. The
other cities of the state have made very
moderate growth and the agricultural
districts perhaps none at all.
