George 7. Miner of the Holy Cross Mountain
camp is in the city examining into the merits of
the MacArthur-Fo forrest process of gold and sill
yer extraction, says the Denver Ne,Cs. few
days ago W. L. Cooper, engineer for the o 4
and Silver Extraction Company, was down at
the camp for the purpose of visiting Mr.. Miner.
Ihese gentlemen were passing around what is
known as French mountain
Say, Cooper, there is little lake over here
which can never pass without going to look
into 1t: Let's go over there. It's only little
ways"
The distance was not 1000 feet from where
they stood, so they went to the lake The lake
IS IN reality pool about tour hundred feet in
diameter, located in the crater of an extinct
volcano. apparently bottomleSs. 1t is above
timber line. The water is strongly impreg-
mated with iron, and is frozen for six or eight
months In the year. No living thing has ever
oeen notlced IN any OF the waters Jhereabout,
but both gentlemen are ready to take their
oaths that they saw near the surface of the
clear water a large sea animal, to which to
winch they have not been able to assign any
name. Its head was much like that of a seal
the eyes being large and soft a deers. At
the shoulders and near the root OF the tail
were legs and feet, like those of a lizard
Directly behind the forward feet were fins of
the shape generally designated to fairies as
wings It's tail was like that OF a fish. aud with
1t the beast seemed to propel itself. 1t was
brown IN color, gradually whitening to the
belly and weighed about one hundred and fifty
pounds.
Such is the description of the monstrosity as
given by these gentlemen to a NetcS reporter
yesterday. They both avow that there was
nothing but water and Temperance drinks to be
hal within fifteen mIes, and vet each is certain
that there is something in the pool where moth
ing has been known to exist heretofore The
altitude is too high for ordinary animals and the
weather Is TOO cold. Snow lies in drifts about
the pool at the presen, time fifteen feet deep.
This is the first time anything haVug life has
been seen in any of the many lakes OF like char
acter.
If l had been alone" concluded Mr.. Miluer.
Il would have thought the devil was after me
and have jumped into the lake 1t was the
most uncanny thing ever saw"
What beca ne of it,
"A gust of wind came up while we stood
there and ruff ID the surface of the water The
thing then disappeared. | never wanted qua

Missi.sippfs Suffrage Problem.

The greatest problem which the c1nsti- U
tionsl convention Of Mississippi Gas t solve
Is. how can white rule IN the state
be rain tanned quite a number OF
solutions have been suggested, = al Of
which objections have been offered Il
seems from our dispatches that the COM
mittee 70 which the suffrage problem was
referred viii report a plan for solving Il
within a day or two. though II IS hardly
I probable that the report Will have the
| approval Of tde whole COMMITTEES
The solution proposed Is al educational
! qualification, or. IN lieu thereof, property
| qualification. Thoss VINO can rad or write
aud those having $50 worth Of property
who cannot read AMI write. are TO have the
! privilege Of voting. The sugZes,ionI Is made
/ that the educational and property qlallr =
/ cations shall not become operative
/ until 1896, at which time the election shall
/ be held under the Australian ballot system,
I asipcorporated in the election law Of Tennes-
/ see. Other requirements are a residence Of
! Two years in the state and the prepayment
! OF a poll tax of g. The committee on ap-
lrtionment has made report which di-
gides the state so as 70 secure a white ma
/ iority Of nine in the Senate aud twenty In
the House.
The act Of congress by which Missis-
sippi was readmtted into the union
provides that the state shall never place
any restrictions upon suffrage. A com
nittee of the convention carefully consid-
cred this act, and reported that the conven-
ton was not bound by 1t. AS the report
was a unanimous one it is not probable that
if the suffrage should be limited in the
manner proposed the legality of the conven-
tons work would ever be questioned in the
courts.
OF course it is by no means certain that
the convention will adopt the report OF the
committee on suffrage, but the probability
is that it will The plan it proposes to keep
the state in the hands of the white people
appears TO be the most feasible one The
republican newspapers will endeavor, of
course, TO make political capital out of this
discrimination against the blacks, but
they will not meet with a great deal of
success. The we'll informed people of the
whole country know that the blacks are
not yet fit TO be entrusted with political
power. The blacks have many more thou
sands of votes in Mississippi than the
whites, and under the direction of unscrupu-
lous white men they might easily get con-
troll of the state What the result of their
control would be it is easy TO pre-
dict. 1t is only necessary to
look back to the carpet-bag
period to become satisfied that they
would make the state a wilderness within a
very few years The white people would
be forced to seek homes in other states or
suffer the loss of their entire property.
Mississippi will not be blamed by fair
minded and intelligent people anywhere
for attempting to save herself from black
rule. Those acquainted with the history of
Hayti know what black rule means. There
may come a time when the blacks can be
safely entrusted with political power, but
that time is a long way in the future.

No Proof Of Fraud or Violence.

During the debate in the House on the
force bill the republicans were very free in
charging that in the south the democrats
carried congressional elections by fraud and
violence. The republican newspapers have
reiterated this charge and Senator Hoar,
in the Senate the other day. in his speech
against postponing the force bill, repeated
it. There may be some republicans who
believe 1t because they have heard it so
often, but no republican has yet been able
to produce satisfactory proof Of 1t.
Mr.. Rowell, the chairman of the House
committee on elections, when speaking in
support of the force bill, grew eloquent in
asserting that southern democrats were
elected to congress by fraud and violence,
but, according to the Washington Post, this
same Mr.. Rowell, in his reports in the Mis-
sissIppi contested election cases, said, In
effect. to the Mississippi representatives:
The evidence is such that you cannot be
unseated i'll consequence of fraud or vio-
lence." If there is no fraud or violence in
elections in Mississippi, it is safe to say that
there is none in the elections in other south
ern states.
But in the face OF Mr.. Rowelrs admission
the republicans have charged and con-
tinued to charge that the democrats N the
south carry congressional districts by means
of fraud and violence They are compelled
to make such charge as an excuse for the
force bill
AS a matter of fact they know that the
reason that the Republican party does not
poll more votes in the south for its candi-
dates is that the blacks do not care to vote,
and do not, as general thing,
do so. They have concocted the force
bill scheme, therefore, with the hope
that it will influence the blacks to vote the
republican ticket But they want to
make the northern people believe
that the force bill is necessary to insure
a free ballot and fair count in the south,
and so they charge that there are no fair cleo
tions in the south because of the fraud and
violence practiced. They admit that when
they hunt for fraud and violence they dc
not find it, but in order that they may have
a foundation upon which to rest partisan
legislation they accept the statements of
irresponsible black and white politicians,
whose only object is to advance their politi-
cal fortunes The republican leaders are
insincere aud inconsistent. and unless all
signs fail they will get rebuke at the fall
elections which they will not soon forget.

Two More RAILROADS

Savannah $ 20 have one more railroad in
the near future-the South Bo1nd-and
PERHAPS two more. the second being the
Macon and Alta tic. III Of these roads
are nov beiog built Work on the South
Bound is bang pushed vigorously. and II IS
quite safe % say that within year South
Carolina cotton will be transported over it
70 Savannah The company which Is
building II does not intend that any obstacle
which money and energy can overc N 3
shall interfere with the rapid construction
Of II
The MoRNING News published an inter
view few days ago with an official of the
Macon and Atlantic road which seem to
leave no doub; that the road Is to be built
70 Savannah. 4 month CT more ago there
was some talk about Sapelo as Its ssaboari
terminus, but no talk Of that kind is heard
now. 1t would be a great mistake for the
road TO make its seaboa-d terminus at any
other point than Savannah, because from
Savannah it would get a very large amount
of business as soon as it wGs completed.
II is probably safe 10 say that the Macon
and Atlantic will have trains running be-
tween Macon and Savannah within eighteen
months. With the Macon and Atlantic
and the South Bound Savannah Will ad-
vance in business and population even more
rapid than she has within the last three or
four years. Her fame as the great
commercial city Of the South Atlantic
states is already well established, but at
tention is going 10 be directed toward her
more strongly than ever. The volume Of
her business this year is much greater than
that Of any previous year, and her pros
poets are so promising that the establish
ment soon of many new business enter
prises within her limits may be confidently
eXpected.

Pinkerton's Roughs.

There is a pretty bitter feeling in the
towns along the Vanderbilt lines of railroad
against the Pinkerton detectives, and with
very good reason. They were called on by
the Vanderbilt officials to protect property
against the strikers. II they had confined
themselves strictly to their duties no fault
would have been found with them. They
did not do that, however. They recklessly
fred their Winchester rifles into crowds of
people who were not interfering with the
movement of trains in any respect. and
they wounded several persons.
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore.
that there is feeling of indignation against
the Pinkertons, and public sentiment that
they shall not be employed by corporations
which hold their charters from the state.
The most of them are reckless roughs
picked up for the special work Pinkerton
may have in hand. They are utterly ire
sponsible, unframed for their work, and as
likely to kill innocent people as those against
whom they are employed. 1t is probable
that the next legislature Of New York will
limit the field in which Pinkerton's men
can operate

Thomas Bracket Reed is viewing with
alarm Secretary Blaine's kindness toward
him. The latter has volunteered to make
speeches in the speakers district. Reed has
not asked him, and instead of being over
Joyed at the prospect of having the drawing
power Of the magnetic man from Maine, the
speaker is troubled and uneasy. What is
the Plumed knight going to talk about?
That is the question uppermost in his mind
If Blaine talks tariff he is liable to commit
the speaker to an issue which he opposes If
he praises his conduct of affairs in the House
he will either make Reed or himself appear
ridiculous So there the matter stands
Reed wishes Blaine had kept out of the
campaign. He prefers other persuasive in
fuences than Blaines eloquence to convince
the voters In his district. Reed always gives
them golden reasons for casting their ballots
for him, and hitherto this has been con-
sidered a capital argument The burly
speaker is apprehensive of defeat for once
He sees in Blaine Nemesis, and he feels like
exclaiming: ''Save me from my friends"
