We have repeatedly asked what is to
be put into the new Constitution, and
nobody has given us satisfactory
answer. We had hoped that Senator
Tillman would throw some light on
the question as to how the suffrage
question should be solved. He has
spoken, and what does he propose?
He above all others was instrumental
in having this call made fer the con-
vention, and all along has laid great
stress upon the fact that, although the
Democrats have had control Of the
State Government for. number Of
years, they have never done anything
towards settling the suffrage. He de-
manded g convention, talked about the
organic law in the most profuse style,
abused the old .'Radical Rag" which
has been hanging over US since 1868,
snd declared that it was time for the
Democrats to settle the "nesro que
tion," His plea for q Constitutional
Convention was heard by the neopIe,
and convention has BEEN called "to
settle the suffrage question:" But,
after all the fuss and fume raised by
Mr.. Tillman, what kind of a settle
ment does he offer to the people? TIE
mississippi PLAN" And is that all
We are to yet, after all of this talk-a
plan which me- Tillman himself con-
fesses will work only temporari!y-a
plan which like the registration law
depends for its success upon the clad
ministrstion of the law" and "not its
languagew It is plain tlfat-this will
not be IN honest solution of the ques-
ton, snd,if it is not honest, it will not
stand. Our people might as well
recognize the fact that this problem
cannot be postponed forever, and its
ultimate solution can only be attained
through honest means. Fraudulent
practices will ;neger end our troubles.
Says Senator Titiman, eff the
applicant con read, he must be
registered and therefore allowed TO
vote" '.IfThe cannot. it. is easy to see
~t.ast ttast tttthe tflse negro could not understood,
while the white man would" This
simply means that the supervisors will
allow whites to register, and refuse
negroes. That is fraud, and once
begun it will not. Sop with negroes.
Now, we should Ike some one to tell
howsthis is an Improvement upon our
present registration laws.
If that's Senator Tillman's plan,
why did he not say so in 1890, and an
amendment could have been put to the
present Constitution by direct vote,
aud saXed the enormous expense of a
Constitutional Convention. AS Sena-
tor Tillmaa SAYS, it's only atemporary
arrangement, and he confesses his ina.
bihty to suggest anything: that will be
permanent. IT it is only temporary,
are we to:eall Constitutional Conven-
tion eveF$4eur or five years to get rid
of this problem temporarily?
And that's all that has been meant
for the past six or seven years about a
Constitutional Convention!

A QUEER ANIMAL.
The Australian DucItbiii Carries n Sting
In One Leg.

Australia certainly holds the palm
for queer and uncouth animals. Chief
among these is the duclSbill, or ornitho-
rhynchus, which Sidney Smith described
as "a kind Of mole with webbed feet
and the bill of a duck, which agitated
Sir Joseph Banks and rendered him
miserable from his utter inability to
decide whether II was n bird or beast "
It was only recently that 1t was proved
beyond doubt that this curious animal
lays eggs like n bird, though this had
long been reported by travellers. Now
comes the news that it has u sting on
its hind leg, capable of killing by its
poisonous effects. We quote from The
Lancet:
"For % long time it was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute of any
weapon of offense, although the hind
legs of the males were armed with q
powerful spur, apparently connected
with gland. Then the opinion was ad-
vanced that this might be weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all Of which possess
sort Of hypodermic poison syringe.
Though one set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set denied
It, and so Dr. Stuart determined, IL pos
sible, TO solve this question. He received
two independent accounts, which coin
cided perfectly, and from them he con-
cludes that at certain seasons, ut all
events, the secretion is virulently poi
sonous. The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments of the hind legs. Two cases are
reported in dogs. One dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much resem-
bling those from bee or hornet poison.
The dog was evidently in great pain and
very drowsy, but there were no tremors,
convulsions or staggering. II is worthy
| of note that a certain immunity seems
obtainable, for the dog suffered less on
the second occasion and still less on the
third. Two cases of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which the ami
mails were irritated, one by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only; the symptoms were the same as
in the dog. No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four in dogs. lit.

AS THE ROMANS SAW 1T.
A Classic Performance In the Old Thea
ter Mt Orange.


A Classic Performance In the Old Thea
ter Mt Orange.
OF scenery, in the ordinary sense OF
the word, there was none at all. What
we saw was the real thing. In the open
ing scene Of "qdipus," the king, com
ing forward through the royal portal
and across tho raised platform in tho
rear of the stage, did literally "enter
from the palace" and did "descend the
palace steps" to the public place"
where Creon and the priests awaited
him. IL was direct reversal of the or
dinary effect in the ordinary theater,
where the play loses in realism because
current of necessarily appreciated but
purposely rejected antagonistic fact un
derruns the conventional illusion and
compels us to perceive that the palace
is but painted canvas, and even on the
largest stage only four or five times as
high as the prince The. palace at Or
nnge, towering up us though IL would
touch the very heavens and obviously
of veritable stone, was most peremp-
tory reality.
growing close beside the stage added to
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch of realism, and this was
heightened by the swaying of the branch
es, and by the gracious motion of the
draperies, under the fitful pressure Of
the strong gusts of wind. Indeed the
mistral took very telling part in the
performance. Players less perfect in
their art would have been disconnected
by it, but these Of the Comedie Franchise
were quick to perceive and to utilize its
artistic possibilities In the very midst
of the solemn denunciation Of Gdipus
by Tiresias, the long white beard of the
blind prophet suddenly was blown up
ward so that his face was hidden and
his utterance choked by it, and the mo-
mentary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and calmly freed his face from
this chance covering, made n dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to it q
naturalness which vividly intensified its
solemn import In like manner the final
entry Of Gdipus, coming from the pal
ace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real. For a moment, as he
came upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself - his
ghastly eyesockets, his blood stained
face-was visible, and then gust of
wind lifted his mantle and flung it about
his head so that all was concealed, and
an exquisite pity for him was aroused
while he struggled painfully to rid him
self of the incumbrance-by the imposi-
tion Of this petty annoyance upon his
mortal agony of body and of SOUL

Tho Goddess of Life.

Vesta was the goddess Of life and Of
home. Her altar stood on every hearth
stone, her fire burned on the floor of ev-
cry public building. Emigrants, when
leaving their country, always carried
with them fire from the public hearth.
The vestal virgins spent 80 years in
service-ten in learning their duties, ten
in praoticing them, ten in teaching
novices. After this term had expired,
they might, if they chose, leave the serv-
ice of their divine mistress or marry,
but few did so Honors were showered
upon them. They rode in chariots, a
privilege in Rome accorded only to roy
atty; the best seats in the amphitheater
were reserved for them; they pardoned
or condemned the gladiators. If Grim
inal led to execution met a vestal, he
was instantly released, no matter what
his crime.
