In a we'll tempered and in the main
fair article, the Greenwood Enterprise
takes exception to the LEADERS crit
icism of Senator George, but the En-
terprise should not have tried to dis
count the force of what the LEADER
said by intimating that it was in
spired by Senator Georges opposition
to woman suffrage and Prohibition,
AS matter of fact, at the time our
article on Senator George was written,
we We're under the impression that he
favored Prohibition and woman suf-
frage both. We are free to confess,
however, that the Senator's action last
Saturday in joining in with other
members of the Committee on Tenn
perance and the Liquor Traffic in ad-
vising against any action on Prohibi-
ton by the Convention, has not i'm
proved our opinion of either his states
manship or backbone.

Excursion Tickets to Sioux City, Iowa,
The Great Corn Palace.

The credit of conceiving and carrying out tho
Idea Of a Corn Palace must be accredited to the
generous, far-sighted, enterprising and plucky
citizens of Sioux City, Iowa. With them no Gle.
waited railroad is too high, no cable line too long
no packing house too large, no opera house too
grand, no business block too fine and no Corn
Palace too magnificent for them to build. Their
vim and busineSS-like ways command the worlds
admiration, and on the 25th OF September they
will open the 4th Annual Corn Palace, larger and
more beautiful than any that have preceded it.
The mammoth array OF exhibits will come from
every direction. The farms, the mines. the
manufactures, with all their diversified pro-
duets, will be largely represented The most ar
tistic designs in corn will decorate the exterior
and interior Of the great Palace. The parades
will eclipse anything OF the kind ever seen in this
country, outside OF New Orleans The music
will be grand, as will be every feature of this
wonderful exposition. To this gathering the IL
LIMOS CENTRAL RAILROAD will make a
rate Of ONE FARE for the round trip from all of
its Southern Division points, Tickets will be on

i ,SEGGE,STION.

1t seems to us that the members OF
the Convention who oppose woman
suffrage and who oppose an educa.
tional and property qualification fol
suffrage on the ground that it will de.
stroy white unity, overlook two inl,
pUrtant considerations that need to be
emphasized. First, that if the wo-
men were given the ballot they would
not vote ut every election, but only
turn out in times of emergency, and
then at separate voting places. AT
such times they would prove n reserve
force both welcome and etfectual.
The second objection, that white unity
would be destroyed by property or
educational qualification, is not well
founded, for the reason that all whites
who could not read or did not own
the requisite amonnt of property,
would have the same voice in the pri-
maries and nominating conventions
they now have.

The Vicksburg Post says that at the
caucus held in the Senate chamber
Friday night by members of the Con
ventiOn opposed to the Franchise Com
mittee's report, Mr.. Mclean charged
that the provision in the report to the
effect that a person shall be allowed
to vote who understands the Constitu-
ton when read to him, was a sham and
fraud, and was put there knowingly
as sham and fraud. There is decid-
ed opposition co this "trick," for it is
nothing else, to put the power to elect
officers in the ha nds of the Election
Commissioners in each county.

Every franchise plan which has beer

Every franchise plan which has been
proposed in the convention, except
that of Judge Chrisman, has been
deeply dyed with the faint of expedi-
ency, trickery or subterfuge, and not
one other has stood upon the solid
bedrock of equality and enduring
principle, so that while we rail at the
present method the convention is only
seeking to do the same thing, only I'M

In a private business letter, Pro-
hibitiOnist of Bolivar county, and a
good Methodist brother, says: "It
looks rather inconsistent that the Pro-
hibitionists will not try to do some
thing for the people of the Delta.
There are a great many more Prohi-
bitionists in the Delta of both colors
than you imagine" To help the peo-
pie of the Delta aud the other coun-
ties with large black majorities, and
make the law secure to all portions OF
the State, is the main object the State
Prohibition Convention and Execu-
tive Committee have in pressing Con-
stitutional Prohibition. With the law
on their side, they would soon drive

Reports from various quarters of
the State Indicate that the prospects
for the cotton crop are no more en-
couraging than they were last week
if as much so. The heavy rainfall
and lack of sunshine in the central
and southern parts of the State is caus-
ing the cotton to rot very badly and
shed in many sections. There is still
compliant of rust. No further COM
plant is made of caterpillars, but the
boil worm continues to be very de-
structive in some sections. There is a
large section of the State, including
the Delta region, in which the pros.
pect for large crop is still very good
if there is return of the warm sun
shine and dry weather soon.

COVERING BEFORE TIE WHISKY
POWER

As Prchibitionists have anticipated
ever since the Committee on Temper
ance and Liquor Traffic was announc-
ed 10y President Calhoon, q majority
of that committee made report last
Saturday recommending non-aetion
on the subject of Prohibition. Thus
Bishop Galloway's policy of MONACO
ton is already bearing fruit. The re-
port reads:
We have carefully considered the
matters laid before us and submit
that in our Judgment it is Impractical
bile and inopportune to bring the sub
.ject of either liquor traffic Or prohibi-
ton before the convention and, there
fore, ask to bc discharged.

Judge Chlisman, who is chairman
of the committee, gave notice that he
reserved the right to make Il minority
report at some future stage of the pro
ceedings, and we anticipate it is his
purpose to press his antisaloor
amendment and have the Convention
to go to record on this question, as i
should.
1t will be anything but creditable t.
the Convention to adopt the policy
recommended by a majority of thu
committee. The idea of such n body
of men proposing to prohibit misce
genation, lotteries, gambling, etc.
and even proposing to prohibit the
pitiful remnant of the Indian race
from playing ball, and then ignoring
the great saloon evil, the parent o
more vice and crime than all the res
together, would be ludicrous, if it wer,
not SO serious.
The Convention has the facts lait
before it in the memorial presented by
the State Prohibition Executive Com
mittee, and in the light of these fact.
and their action thereon the members
will be judged and held to account.

"DICK" GOT OFF.
His Connection With the Gold
Brick Swindle Not Proven.

Gilbert o. Hastings, known to fire.
quenters of the Columbia pool room as
"Dick Deadeye," is again free man.
On the preliminary hearing of the
charge against him, that of swlndling
Schamberg, the North Minneapolis
pawnbroker, out of $4,000 or the old
''gold brick game" yesterday he was
discharged. Evidence sufficient to war
rant his being held to the grand jury
was not adduced. 1t was simply
a case of preponderance of evidence.
The prosecution had but two reliable
witnesses, Schamberg, the victim, and
Edwards, the clerk in Greenleaf's
jewelry store, where the filings Of the
brick were tested. On the other hand,
the defense brought several persons
who swore that on the afternoon of
July Is. Hastings was at the pool room
continuously and could not have been
at the Windsor hotel between and 3
o'clock, as stated by Schamberg.
Judge Mahoney's court room was
well filled with Columbia habitues
when the case was called. The ''gold
brick,' a bar of brass about eighteen
inches long and Ak in thickness, was
there too. Schamberg took the stand
first. He told the whole story as de-
tailed by the papers heretofore-how
he met the miner, how he went out to
see the blick where it was guarded by
a pointed savage from some wild
portion of America, how the
filings from the brick were shown to the
Alaskan assayer at the Windsor, by
whom they were pronounced pure gold;
how the filings were tested at Green
leafs store and pronounced genuine;
how he paid $1,000 for the brass bar,
and how he found out that he had been
swindled. The following letter from

He Would Not Accept Renomina-
tion---Other Candidates.
Several days ago one of the local pa
pers, which is supposed to represent the
Republican party, stated that L. A.
Condit, the present county auditor, had
decided to ask for another term. Such
a sta temen seems to be:unauthorized,
as Mr.. Condit yesterday told a GLOBE
representative that he would not &C
cept denomination under any circum-
stances. Said he: "There is nothing in
the county authorship for me. Should
retain the place for one term more
or even two terms,I would all the while
be growing older and would be learn
ing nothing which would thereafter be
useful to me in the way of earning
living. There is not money enough in
the authorship to induce me to throw
away the best years OF my life for it. l
can do much better by dropping it right
here and going into some other bust
ness"
So it seems that the county auditor
will have no more of the place. How
ever, there are plenty OF others

been mentioned so far, public attention
being turned principally toward the
gubernatorial fight, but they will come
outlater. G. j. Minor, at present dep
uty auditor, would like to succeed Con-
dit. Minor is young man with plenty
of friends and ability. Whether he can
prevail upon the party leaders to choose
him is another question. He has been
in the Office so long that he is thoroughly
conversant with its requirements. On
the score OF his being competent to fill
the place, there is no chance
for argument. But he is
young man, and this may
initiate against him in the convention.
He is, nevertheless. working hard for
the nomination. with good prospects OF
success. w. 81. Donaldson, who has
been most frequently mentioned for the
authorship, is. so far, Minors chief OPP
ponent. Donaldson's sole claim on the
nomination seems to be based on his
being an expert bookkeeper. He Is not
we'll known politically, and seems to
stand but little chance of success. Sam
Goodnow, who has also been mentioned
as candidate, would not, 1t is under
stood, accept the nomination. OF
course, the Democrats do not intend to
let any Republican be elected. Should
the followers of Republicanism, how
ever, chance to succeed, Minor would
make as good an auditor as any of them.

MORE NEW FEATURES.
Manager Regan Has Secured
Two Fine Displays.

Manager Regain Has Secured
Two Fine Displays.
Manager Regain has succeeded in
making arrangements for one of the
most novel manufacturing exhibits of
the present day for the exposition. The
exhibit is the newly discovered electri-
cal method of welding metals, owned
by the Thompson Electric Welding
company, of Lynn, Mass. Prof. Elihu
Thompson is the discoverer Of the
method, which is very simple one and
consists in simply placing together the
ends of the pieces to be joined and
bringing them to welding heat
through internal electric currents. By
simply pressing the ends together the
union is so perfectly made that it is Ill
timately the strongest part of the bar.
One Of the curioSitieS in connection
with the process is the rapidity with
which it is made, only couple of min
utes being required to weld the heaviest
bars.
The company is DESTROYS of placing
its machines ON the Northwestern mar
ket, and is glad of the opportunity
offered to put one on exhibition where
they can be examined and tested by the
manufacturers it wishes to interest in
them. The exhibit will undoubtedly
attract considerable attentions
Arrangements have also been made
for the securing of the cut glass display
of j. G. Hawkes. & Co.. of Corning, N.
Y, that took the first prize away from
all the famous foreign manufacturers
at the Paris exposition. The display
attracted much attention, being one of
the finest American exhibits shown.

The remains of Otto Reibe were found
yesterday morning in the ruins OF the
burned Security wareh ouse. What was
left of the young man was burned and
broiled beyond recognition. Nothing
remained free from the traces of the
fire except one heel. Along about s
O'Clock in the morning the workmen
engaged in removing the debris were
assailed by frightful stencil which
came from the ruins near them. A few
minutes later, from among the scattered
bricks and rubbish, the shovel of a
workman turned up charred, half
crushed skull from among the debris,
and within few minutes the remain.
der of the body, or what little was left
of it,. was exposed to view. For
the past two days the men
who were at work OIL the ruins were
convinced as to the location of the body
on account of the odor which arose
from that particular spot. 1t is also
said that stray cats, those carnivorouS
pets had, visited the same spot, guided
by the scent OF human flesh.
Quite crowd collected as soon as the
news became known that Rebels body
had been found, but the morbid curio-
sity seekers were kept back by a rope
stretched around the building. Rebels
father, who has been a constant
spectator of the work of clearing out the
rubbish everssince the fire, was Informed
of the discovery as soon as it was made.
but the kind-hearted workmen kept him
from the awful sight. His silent grief
was pitiable to behold. The coroner
was Immediately summoned and the
charred remains of human being were
removed to Connolly's morgue. The
coroner decided that no inquest was
necessary. About the same line of facts
was gone over after thelTribune.fre and
nothing resulted. He thought nothing
was to be gained by taking up this mat
ter. The body lay. apparently, all
drawn up near the front door. The
supposition is that Reibe tried to get
out of window, but was overtaken by
the flames. The body was shipped to
| Hokah yesterday afternoon for burial.
