daughter was naturally alarmed and screamed
for help. Willing hands we're numerous,
as the station was crowded at the time, and
the limp and helpless body was borne into
the office of the station master, about 20 feet
away. Great excitement ensued, and al
though it was apparent that the Senator was
dead, half dozen messengers were imme-
diately dispatched for physicians and all the
remedies at hand were applied, but all to no
effect. A superficial examination only was
possible at the time. but this was sufficient
to satisfy the physicians that death resulted
from paralysis of the heart, and Immediately
followed the attack.

Senator George Advocates Repre-
sentatiOn Of Districts and
Towns Instead Of Countless

Vicksburg, Miss, July 5.-The
COMMERCIAL Herald will publish
tomorrow a long and very able
letter from Senator George, upon
the problem of the new state con-
stitution. He recommends return
to the spirit of the constitution Of
1882, and a system whereby mem
bers Of the legislature shall be re-
turned from districts and towns
instead of from counties, as at
present.
He cites Connecticut, New Jersey
and New York, as examples of the
efficiency of such methods and
proof of their constitutionality, and
says it is worthy of consideration
whether a legislature thus chosen
should not have the power Of elect
ing the executive, though this might
be done by an electoral college.
The other state officers might be
elected in a similar manner, or APP
pointed by the governor with the
approval Of the senate. The plan
would be in fact such redistricting
of the state as Ohio has lately been
subjected to in the matter Of con-
gressional districts. He points out
that this would involve some sscri-
flee of power by the black counties,
but declares that where all is in
danger it is wisdom to make such
sacrifices rather than risk the loss
Of everything.
The black race, he holds, is under
the tutelage of the white and must
be protected in all respects.
Its incapacity must be guarded
and its civil and political rights
neither denied nor abridged, but
white predominance must be Sc
cured in order that good govern
ment may be maintained.
The letter is mainly devoted to
an elucidation Of this plan, demon
strating its constitutionality and
the anticipation Of objections to it.
The white race, he declares, owes
il TO the negro to instruct him in
the duties of citizenship, but is
under no obligations to permit him
to ruin it while he is being taught.

that feels or knows it would be to
his financial profit to own 20 or 80
head of sheep and two dogs, rather

The better class Of negroes in my
