The Men Who Vote.

A glance at the polling lists of those
who voted at the late election will show
that the United States possesses a more
varied and variously complexioned vot-
ing population than any other country
in civilization.
The foreigners Of Europe, good, bad
and indifferent, from Firms to dirty
Neapolitan Italians, from Russian Jews
to black browed Spaniards, all cast
their freoman's ballot in this republic.
Poles and Huns as ignorant Of reading
and writing as their own dogs, subjects
of the sultan who believe in the harem
method Of disciplining wives, organ
grinders, peanut peddlers and negroes
with razors in their boots, all these
march side by side to the polls year by
year, and many of them vote for the
man who pays them the most for it.
These be our rulers.
Now Cinnamon are coming in too.
Not so many perhaps, only 100 or so,
voted this year But more will come
next. When all is said and done, how
ever, a Chinaman knows more about
voting than thousands of those who
have already been casting their ballots
for years. Finally this fall 22, 900 In
dians voted, most of them for the first
time. Giving up their tribal relations
and taking land in severalty entities
the red men to vote, and many this year
took advantage of the right.

New York's rniamy.

The awakening Of the citizens Of
New York to the horror that has for
years existed in their midst is the most
hopeful sign of the times for municipal
government in America If the public
had remained blind and deaf to the rev.
citations Of the Lexow committee, then
indeed it would have bodied i'll for this
republic. But the result Of the investi-
cation shows that though the people
may bo a long time in waking up, their
real sentiments are on the side of decen.
oy and morality always.
The blackest revelations yet made be.
fore the Lexow committee have been
those that came lately. The sworn testi.
mony last summer showed the police of
New York city to be the blackmailers
of counterfeiters, bunko men and of the
keepers Of illegal saloons and disorder.
ly houses. The evidence this fall reveals
them as those that regularly took money
from quack doctors who performed
criminal surgical operations,
One of these quacks declared himself
"sick of the whole thing" and took oath
before the committee that he had within
six weeks paid So, $50 to the police and
police minions. The plan was for a po-
liceman to arrest the man. A witness
would be ready to swear against him.
On the way to the station house the po-
liceman would tell the prisoner that he
must take a certain lawyer to defend
him. If he demurred, they insisted and
brought means to bear on him such that
be was forced to accept their man. He
would be brought before the police jus
| tice, who made a virtuous show Of let
ting him out on a high bail. Once this
bail was fixed at 81, 500. Before the
prisoner could get it the lawyer the po-
lice recommended came to the prisoner
and told him if he would pay 10 per
cent of the sum to the lawyer the case
would never be heard of again. 1t was
customary to have some straw man go
the bail Then the prisoner would be
| set free
The quack asserts that the money he
paid was divided among the gang-the
lawyer, police justice and the police,
Two police justices were accused of
sharing in this blood money.
One woman swore she had paid the
police $50, 900 blackmail in seven years.
New York city may well bow her
head in shame at such disclosures. 1t
is not a very great honor to hail from
the big city by the sea. Stead in Chica-
go found nothing quite so bad as this.

THE protest of School Director Trezse
against the closing of the public schools
TO enable the classes to attend the funeral
OF ex School Directors carries some weight
with it. In the case in which the action
was taken we are free to say that the de-
ceased was worthy OF all the respect the
School Board paid to his memory, as he
was certainly one Of the most attentive
and valuable Directors Of the Boards on
which he served but the course taken
may form precedent and may yet cause
regret. 1t is hard to estimate how many
days viii be lost In p year if the schools
are 90 be closed every time the funeral Of
an ex.D Director take lplace. The spirit that
prompts such an action is a commendable
one, but it is hardly iudjcious to put it in
practice. The deceased served six sue
cessiye years without remuneration in
toiliuR with hls fellow members OF the
Board TO maintain and advance the inter
ests OF the public schools, and it was ap-
propriate that when the time came to pay
last tribute to his memory that the edu-
sational department should be a contrbu
tor but IL would seem that the members
OF the School Board, the superintendent
and delegation of the teachers coulC
have met the requirements OF the occasion
with the same degree Of respect and eff act
as the closing Of thes schools accomplished
1t is questionable 10 the closing Of the
schools is justidab,e even la case OF the
funeral Of an active member Of the School
Board. OF course, all matters Of this kind
are within the discretion OF the Board and
perhaps the action taken in the case re
ferred to will not be used as a precedent

A PLUNGE TO DEATH.
Fatal Wreck on the Pennsylvania
Road Near Pittsburg
SEVEN MINERS PROBABLY DEAD

They Were Going TO Their Homes from
Their Days Work, and Were Carried
Down When sixteen Cars Fell Through
Bridge TO the Creek Below.
PITTsBURG, Nov eO.-Sixteen cars Of coal
broke through the bridge over Brush
creek at Larimer Station last evening, and
six or seven miners are buried under the
wreck The train was on its way down
the Larimer branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad to the main line When within
six car lengths of the bridge car broke
down and when it reached the bridge il
tore its way through. letting the other tif-
teen cars down into the creek in con
fused mass. All Of the trainmen escaped,
but the miners, who were on the cars go.
ing to their homos were carried down.
Brakeman Carroll, who was on the rear
of the train and saw the men when they
left the mines for home, said this morning
that there were between five and eight
miners on the cars that went down. 1t Is
very certain that five men have been killed
as this number left the mines when the
train started, and that number are miss
ing from their homes today. After dill
gent search only three names of the miss
ing men can be learned, these being Frank
Rice, a German, who is said to have been
working in the mines only two weeks
and who was comparative stranger in
this region, and August Thome and his
son Fred, Belgians, who have been work
ing in the mines for the past three weeks.
Two Italians are also known to be in
the wreck but owing to the fact that all
the men work under numbers instead OF
names their names cannot be learned
Some of the miners say that thisis all who
have been killed, while others declare
there are more missing. Homes through
out all the mining section are being visited
to learn if all the miners can be located
and it is thought that at least three more
will be found under the wreck.
The body Of Frank Rice has been recov
cred. 1t was found near the top of the
cars, and was crushed almost beyond

HARRISBURG, Nov 19.-The annual re-
port of Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Schaeffer states that the introduction
of free text books and supplies into the
public schools of the commonwealth has
made an increase of attendance ranging
from 20 to 80 per cent. In only one county
have free text books caused the directors
to shorten the school term and reduce
teachers salaries. The report recommends
that increased attention be paid to school
architecture, and agitates the removal of
directors who fail to provide suitable build
ings and outhouses. The report urges the
appointment Of truant officer in cities
and towns to arrest all idle youths found
in public places during school hours.

Hope for the Lost Ship Ivanhoe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2O-There is still
afaint hope that the passengers and crew
of the lost ship Ivanhoe are still alive, and
that if they were not picked up by some
outgoing vessel bound for a distant port
they have been cast away on some of the
barren islands of the north. The revenue
cutter Rush has been ordered north to
search for the missing ship or the crew
and passengers who may have been cast
adrift and left port last evening. The
Ivanhoe, collier, carried crew of twenty
men and several passengers, including
three women and Fred j. Grant, editor of
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

n mile in all directions there was seeth-

whom Cossacks were vainly endeavoring
TO keep order with knouts and the heels
of their wild horses, regardless of the lives
or limbs of the people. Finally fire en-
gines were brought, hose stretched and
water turned on. The powerful streams
scattered the people in the front like chaff,
only to be driven back by the pressure
from behind. The Cossacks struck the
people across the face with great whips.
One man was killed by kick and boy
was suffocated in the crowd.

passed in an open carriage on their way to
the cathedral man dressed as a peasant
sprang into the road and drew from his
pocket packet which he threw at the
czar His majesty started back and then
coolly picked up the packet. The incident
caused intense commotion, the crowd be
lieving that an attempt had been made to
assassinate the car. The offender was in
stantly seized and hustled to the guard
house Later it was announced that the
car had accepted a petition that had
been thrown to him. The contents of the
paper are kept secret.
