lsoycotting Carter.

WASHINGTON, June l2.-The Asso-
cistrd Press seems to have boycotted
II, preventative Carter of Montana
since he has been In congress. II IL
not known that 10 any Of the accounts
Of congressional proceedings bis name
mas eve, been mentioned. This was
first observed when Carter made the
figb, for tariff on lead ore in the
house. He had charge Of the fight for
the lead interests, made two speeches,
and 1t Was generally regarded as his
fight. The next time WAS on the sil.
yer break. when several republicans
failed to stsy with their party. Every
republican who made speech yester-
day In favor of free coinage, was re-
ported briefly. excepting Carter, and
Carter was not even mentioned in the
list of republicans voting with the
democrats. The boycott is said to
originate from some remarks made by
Carter In Chicago, In which he
clai med that the Associated Press dis
patches were not giving the republi.

How D,e. the Dog Know So Much.


Wade, the big English mastiff, is tho
actor. In the morning of six days Of
the week you may see Wade solemnly
strolling about the lawn. or lying grace
fully posed, with his grand head be-
tween his forepaws. on the porch. But
on the seventh day-literally the sew
enth of the week, Saturday = after
breakfast, at which meal he always on
that day refuses to participate. Wade
invariably accompanies his masters
man to the railroad station. Every
day, by certain morning train, the
supplies of meat, groceries, etc, come
down to the neighboring railroad sta
ton, and the hired man goes to fetch
them. On five days-for Sunday q
out of the count, of course-he goes
alone. When Saturday comes he has
Wade for companion.
Why does Wade eat no breakfast on
Saturdaysl Why does he on that morn
ing alone, and then uninvited, 90 down
to the railroad stationi
On Saturdays the butcher puts into
the basket for this household, piece
Of meat especially for the lordly mas
tiff. Wade knows that q neck Of beef
or some other choice morsel. is his every
Saturday morning He refuses TO spoil
his appetite, therefore, by eating the
usual breakfast prepared for him, and
he watches for the departure of the
hired man only on that particular morn
ing.
Wade must have done some decp
thinking; he must be able to count the
days Saturday Is like all other da1
in that household, yet Wade knows Il
directly he wakes, and asranges his pro
gramme in accordance with bis fore
knowledge of the butchers proviioo
for him. That Is to say, The mast1A

Fair Ballot.
JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 14.-When the
constitutional convention convened this
morning President Calhoun announced
his committees. Patty was made chair
man of the most important committee.
that of elective franchise and elections.
Senator George got second place and
eX-Gov. Alcorn third. The chairman of
the judiciary committee is Judge W. P.
Harris; of bill of rights and general
provisions. Prot. Edward Mayes; of
the legislative department, b. M.
Street; of the military, Gen.
w. S. Featherstone. But little
was done to-day except to discuss and
dispose of contests. Judge Calhoun,
president of the convention, in answer
to correspondents inquiry as to what
he thought the convention would do
with the suffrage question, replied: "It
is too early vet to make any prOgnOstica-
tions as to what plan will be adopted.
1t depends on what the convention
believes will be the most effect
i've within constitutional bounds, after
the various plans are discussed and
dgested. You can say, however, that
the convention will adopt no plan which
it does not believe will be thoroughly
effective and secure intelligent rule
against that of ignorance; this will be
done without any intention of injuring
the negro, but rather for his good. AS
the case now stands think the Austria
lian ballot system, with several mOdifi-
cations aud important additions, is in
the ascendency. myself favor it"
