"Yesm'm," replied Mr.. J. b. Jack

at two pretty girls with the old lady.

the conductor.

the old lady.
"ChIckamauga creek" replied the
conductor.

An ominous silence followed until
thc same creek had becn crossed four
additional times.
Another stream was seer babbling
over the rocky bed.
With a limid glance at the yellow
waters the old lady asked:

like they. could bite the conductors
head off as the old lady said snap

Another creek was crossed. but the
old lady said nothing. Still another
was crossed, and she asked:

QUESTION FOR THE PEOPLE

The people have watched with an in-
terest sometimes akin to contempt the
antics of the house in its consideration of
Mr.. Hebard's congested election bill
Here was a bill which next to human life
itself, dealt with the most vital and dear
est constitutional privilege OF the Amer
can citizen. 1t revolutionlzed our entire
election machinery. II placed limitations
on the right of suffrage never before
known in the territory and put IN the
hands of a few ind vlGuals, who we're to
be paid 50 a day for their services, pow
ers which are absolutely autocratic In
their scope and compreEenslveness. IL
annoylngiy increased the difficulties OF
foreign born citizens in acquiring the PRIV
llege of casting their votes even after they
had secured their tull naturalization
papers 1t circumscribed the constitu
tonal suffrage limitations and placed the
practical operations OF the law beyond the
reach even of the judiciary. In a word
the bill placed illimltable restrictions on
the ballot and comparatively lew on iraud.
The bill received consideration Tor "
days and one night IN the house. 1t
hnalIy passed That body without a single
practical amendment and the council are
now left to consider IT. The bill con
prlses 1872 sections and occupies two tull
hours in its reading Its bulky proper
tons have deferred many people from
giving the bill the consideration 1t de
serves.
The people are a unit IN demanding
better election laws. Under the prevail
ing system they have seen voters bought
up like sheep and they have over and
over again seen money aud not merit win
atthe polls In response to their clamor
a bill Is brought forward which under

UNJUST TAXATION.

Hon. VIM Thompson, an active
business man OF Reno, favors a
Constitutional Convention for the
reason that double taxation un
der our present constitution is of
frequent occurrence and drives
capital from the State. In sup
port OF his assertion before the
Board OF Trade he cited a case, in
which he was interested where
property was created fictitiously
by taxing ranch, the money which
was paid for it, and the note given
for the money, which was borrow
ed. Here in our own county, and
doubtless the rule prevails
throughout the State, mortgages
held 10y the residents are taxed
while those held by none residents
are not. This discrimination a.
gainst resident capitalists is evil
IDENTITY calculated to drive them
from the State, as they can not
compete with the nonresident
money lenders. AS the supreme
Court has decided that the mort
Cages held by residents OF the
state are subject to taxation the
only remedy for the injustice is by
changing the onstitution and give
resident capitalists an-even show
with the nonresident one. -Silrer

Especial TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. ]
PITTsFIELD, Mass, Feb. 25.-Consider-
able feeling has resulted in educational
circles from the action taken by Principal
Walsh, of the high school, who yesterday
expelled six scholars, children of Roman
Catholic residents of the town. About a
week ago, in the regular course of study of
history, the class came to the subject of the
reformation in Myers Medieval History,
which is considered liberal by the school
committee Six scholars refused to learn
the prescribed lesson on religious grounds.
Principal Walsh told the pupils they need
not study that portion of the book if their
parents would send him notice giving them
permission to skip the obnoxious chapter. A
few days later he received a sort of
Robin Round document signed by
the parents of the scholars, de-
claring their opposition to the study of
the reformation by their children. Walsh
was not satisfied with this and demanded
that be should have personal notice from
each parent This was refused and the
suspension of the pupils followed yester-
day. The school committee and Superin-
tendent Day sustained the principal in his
action. 1t is feared that considerable
trouble and hard feeling will result in con
sequence.

Very Strange Funeral Services.

Especial to THE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch
New YORK. Feb. 25.-For the past four
years Governor Thomas Allen Horn had
resided at Larchmont. Eight months ago
ais wife died. Lately NJ. d. Horn had
been laid up with pneumonia. Last Fri
lay he expired at the age of IL. He had
left explicit instructions as to his burial
and the services tc be held over his re-
mains. Sunday his dining room and par
lor were filed with mourners Shortly
after O'Clock services commenced and
from the table was heard the sound of a
voice signing and singing the hymn "a few
more years shall roll, a few more seasons
come and we shall be with those we
love, in the land beyond the
sun" For some time feeling of supersti-
ton pervaded the apartment. Many dis
tinctly recognized the voice of Mrs. Horn.
but when they perceived it came through a
pAonograph they grew more composed,
though many wept as they recalled the
owner OF the sweet voice. As soon as the
hymn was over Charles Horn, nephew of
the deceased, made alterations in the ma
chine and inserted a roll that contained a
funeral sermon OF his uncle by himself 1t
sounded so weird that two ladies' tainted

bered voice of the deceased clergyman told
how at the time that the audience would

1t is usual at funerals to
eulogize the dead, and the pastor who
breaches the sermon seldom touches on
the deceased's faults. On this occasion
sle virtues Of the dead man were

faults enumerated, for which the mourn
ers were asked to pray for Gods pardon
AT this point in the address the voice had

terrible sounds of the strong man weeping
broke out with terrible realistic force AT
the close of the address he called upon his
hearers to join him and his wife in singing
the hymn, There is a Better Land" Then
his nephew arranged the two instruments
ON the table, and all at once the soprano of
the wife and the baritone of the husband
joined together in singing.

The Union Labor Party.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 25.-A conference of
the Union Labor party, in which major
ity of the members of the national execu-
tive committee and members at large are
taking part, began here to-day. Re;olu-
tions were adopted congratulating the
party upon its fight in the campaign of 1855,
which was characterized by the most ex-
travagant, corrupt, and shameless use of
money by the Democratic and Republican
parties, ever witnessed In the United
States" although there has been a
change of administration there has been
no change of policy calculated to relieve
the agricultural aud Industrial classes"
Allegiance to the Union Labor party is
reaffirmed, and renewed efforts urged
upon the reforms advocated in the plat
form of 1855, relating to finance, transpor-
tation. land and the suppression of trusts.
as all the evils which now afflict the agri
cultural and industrial classes have their
origin in these questions. The knights of
Labor, of the wheel, farmers alliance,
farmers mutual benefit association and
nus oandry, are invited to cooperate with
the party in the campaign of 1890
