TO ELIMINATE THE NEGRO
VOTE.

A bill was introduced in the L.
bama Legislature last Tuesday
which will attract . good deal Of
attention throughout the county.
II it becomes . law It will particu.
larly do away with the negro vote
in Alabama. The bin was intro
duced by Representative Brewer,
of Lowndes county, who has been
in Legislature for fourteen years.
He is looked npon % . financial au-
thOrity Of the state, and has written
. history of Alabama.
The bill provides that ''all per-
sons whose State and county taxes
IS assessed do not amount to 8
shall not be required to pay the
same il it be shown that such per-
sons failed to vote ut the August
and November elections Of the pre-
vious year."
This is the first attempt in the
history of Alabama to legislate
against the negro vote. There are
not 20 per cent Of the negro voters
who pay tax exceeding 5 per year.
At the lowest calculation 50 per cent
Of the negro voters would take adj
vantage Of an opportunity to save
s. The negro vote at the last
election was l36, 900 out Of . to-
tai Of 100000. It can be seen
that the effect Of this bill will be
widespread.
Those most competent 70 Judge
think it will do away with the trouble
which so vexes the white people.
The bill was . surprise. Few Of
The members expected anything Of
Lhe kind /; it was the most talked Of
matter during the day. The opin-
ion seemed general that the bin win
pass.

THE POPULISTS IN CON.
GRESS.

The Times-Democrat says: The
Populists will, as We predicted, cut
. far less conspicaous figure in fu-
ture politics than they imagined.
and this will be particularly the
case in the House. sons AHA W.
The Populists originally claimed
the election Of fourteen Cougress-
men. It seems upon investigating
! the matter that the actual number
elected was only half Is many,
seven, and that Of these four are
Fusionists elected BY . combination
with the Republicans or Democrats.
Two OF these four are Republicans,
who will sit in the Republican can-
Gus, while the other two win SINH.
larry act with the Democrats on al
measures. They are not Populists
in reality, but Fusionists, to whom
the Third Party men gave their
support aud their votes, helping to
elect them.
This leaves three so-called straight
out Populists, headed by the Inn
mortal Jerry Simpson. But even
these are not stalwarty. The ex.
treme party men are very much
worked up Of late to discover that
Jerry Simpson is more Of . Demo
crat than . follower OF their cranky
views and it is now recognized that
he and the other two ''straight-outs"
will vote with the Democrats on oil
important party measures.
The Populist strength in the
House thus resolves itself into ''nil."
There are some members who owe
their election 10 Populist ballots,
and who will vote for some Of the
pet schemes Of the Third Party, but
beyond this they will not 60, and
they will act with one Of the two
great parties, Democrats and Re-
publicans. On the issues coming
before Congress there will be prac-
tically no Populist party in the
next House.

THE HAYsEED ON Tor.

Inc gloom ana 0eSpOn0ency
around the race track when . prime
favorite has lost the race Is a. moth
ing compared with the tone Of what
may be called the ''profe ssional''
around the Cotton Exchange just
now.
Cotton has been advancing for
some time and Of late has been on
. regular boom. The jump Of ten
dollars per bale means tremendous
losses on the large speculative con-
tracts for future delivery for the
seller and corresponding gains
for the buyer. OF course it means
the same gain in OF loss for the
regular contracts for legitimate
purposes.
Now it so happens that this year
the city spectators are mainly en-
gagged in holding the hot end Of the
poker. The hayseeds have been
buying large and pocketiEg big pro-
fits. The country merchants, while
not working 50 heavily in statistics,
and having less fear Of the recent
past, have been making the know.
ing ones at the great centers dis
gorge large slices Of wealth. In
short, rural simplicity has been
getting in on city wisdom in grand
style, and there Is mourning in the
house Of CrGsus. The man who
has been sitting on the top rail Of
the farm fence studying the cotton
patch has got even with the eagle
eyed operator whose vision swept
the vast horizon Of the worlds in
dustry. The common sense and
nerve of the cross roads store keep
er has outwitted the cultivated wis
dom of the gilded exchange halls.
In the vernacular Of the trade the
wild and unkempt bull Of the prairie
has tossed the pampered, over
fed museum bear with . brass col.
lar clear over the fence, broken his
shoulder blade, stove In nearly Ill
his ribs, knocked one eye out and
left him in . more deplorabls con-
dition than was the late lamented
champion Of the world in the Olym-
pic Club ring after the memorable
and final round.
And to carry our comparison >
trifiie further, there IL about -
much sympathy with the bear ~
there was with the Boston elugger.
He has been having . royal time for
many months. and Il did look - II
he was never to have any more hard
fighting to hold his own.
It may be that these victims Of
the rural conspiracy will not now
view with such disfavor the Hatch
anti-option bill, since 90 many mill
lions Of their cash have been trans
ferred to the country customers.
The future delivery contract Is pro-
ven . two-edged sword, and the
back edge has been found very
much keener than the one that has
been used go long cutting the other
way.-New Delta.
