1t is eighteen years ago since a
shotgun campaign was systematical-

black vote. Ex-senator Eustis, who
is now American Minister at Paris,
and Governor McEnery, who is now
a Judge in Louisiana, boasted on the
stump few years ago how "Fred

HONEST ELECTIONS.

The long immunity from crimes
on the suffrage in the Southern
States illustrates the demoralized
condition of public sentiment and
demands radical measures for it's cor
rection. Revolt against machine
rule and bossism means nothing
against dishonest election methods.

Secretary Carlisle to Decide How
Many Seals Shall be Killed.

By Associated Press
Washington, April 16. - Secretary
Carlisle has not yet reached a decls.
ion as to the number Of sealslSlns the
North American Commercial company
should be permitted to take during
the coming season, and at the request
of counsel for the company has decid-
ed to give a hearing on the subject at
an early date The date for this hear
ing has not yet been agreed upon. but
It Is expected to take place within the
next few days. as the sealing season
is now so near at hand. Last year
the secretary acceded to the insistent
contention Of the British government
and limited the catch to 1900. barely
enough to supply the natives with
food, but there are reasons FOR the be-
lief that this number will be material
ly Increased for tho coming season. II
Is believed that the operations OF the
company under last years limitation
were conducted at a financial loss.
and It is thought the secretary IL
willing to increase the number which
may be taken this year If he can do
so without seriously interfering with
the natural Increase of the herds. II
Is the opinion of some persons inter
ested in the matter that as many as
20. 1000 skins VIII be permitted to be
taken this year, but this is hardly
probable. in view OF the fact that
the government agent at the seal TEL
ands has reported that in his opinion
20. 1000 is the very highest number that
can safely be authorized. The gem
erai opinion Is that this number co.

By Associated Press.
Washington. April 1e.-Thore is al
ready more or less quiet talk about the
senate as to Mr.. vanc.'s probable sue
cessor on the finance committee. Con-
versations with number of Democrat
ic senators today develop the fact
majority Of them are Of the opinion
that the choice will fall upon Senator
Mills OF Texas. He is considered
especially eligible because OF the at
tention he has given for years to the
financial questions and the fact that he
was chosen for this post temporarily
in the absence OF Senator Mcpherson,
during the preparation OF the tarin
bill now before the senate, would seem
TO put him in line for the permanent
membership at this time. 1t Is pos
sible that Senator Mills claims may be
contested by the Northern and Eastern
senators, who, as 1t is known, have not
been entirely satisfied to have so large
a preponderance Of Southern and West
ern men on the committee as is now the
case. If they make u successful EFFORT
to secure the appointment the choice
would probably fail upon either Sem
ator Hin or Senator Villas. Senator
Brice's name has been mentioned in
this connection, but owing TO the fact
that Ohio already has in Senator sher-
man member OF the committee, it
IS considered inprobnbIe that he yvoutd
