REGISTRATION NOTES.

A large taxpayer and intelligent
citizen, who had been detained at
the registrars office waiting his
turn to register, and looking at the
crowd Of shivering, poorly-clad, ig-
norant Mexicans that were being
pushed in to register, asked of a
bystander: "And do these people
vote?" "Of course they do, and
they generally vote you down." re-
piled the party to whom the ques-
ton was addressed. "Well, 1t
ought to be stopped" was the re-
! joinder.
Commenting upon the ragged,
coatless, unwashed crowd of Next
cans who had been brought up to
register by a we'll organized set Of
election FOUNDERS, a gentleman re-
marked: "If our intelligent Amer
lean population could witness this
scene, they would not divide up
upon local elections until they
stamped out this outrage on the
American franchise by retiring
every man from public office who
attempts to profit by it,"
A Callaghan striker who lives in
the suburb known as "Beanville"
in explaining why there would be
a greater number of Mexicans reg
istered this time than at the coun-
ty election, said: "There are 500
citizens who have been out cotton
picking and are now back home"
Captain Mcneil shipped 800 of
these people through here from
Mexico just before the fall election.
No doubt they are returning and
as our city furnishes pleasant
refuge during cold weather and
election times to these transient
people we may expect to have our
registration lists increased unless
the registrar prevents it.
Registrar Santleben is doing his
best to stop illegal registration by
requiring exact description of resi-
dence,-this will hardly do it, as
the transients will be posted and
give street and number. A strict
challenge should be used, as pro.
vided in the law. Witnesses should
be required, and "intention papers"
examined; if these intention pa
pers are being issued wholesale and
supplied to transient aliens the fact
should be disclosed.
"The gambling dens and little
saloons over the creek furnish a
comfortable resort for returning
cotton pickers," said posted citi-
zen, sand at this juncture consti-
tute local political centers." Men
with homes and families should
think seriously Of the reign Of a
local political trust that deals in
this brand Of voters.
"Both sides try to get these vot-
ers, after ALL" remarked a local
politician, in discussing the mob of
ragged Mexicans at the registrars
office. That is true, but now, this
voting element is entirely ire
sponsible and corrupts our local
elections by the wholesale.

Cause for Apprehension.

Washington. April 3.-The secretary
Of state is very much concerned these
days by the Venezuelan problem.
The British ultimatum delivered to
Nicaragua is not a source Of present
apprehension, for it is not now be-
lley ed that the British will take any
action in the way of attempting to ac-
quire any territory in that direction
or ever to jeopardize the property of
Americans In Nicaragua by a bonn
bardment In their efforts to force a
collection of the indemnity demanded
from Nicaragua. These are the two
moves that might cause the United
States to interfere. But in the ease
of the Venezuelan boundary dispute
there is much graver cause for appre-
hension. :

and Secure $4,000 worth OF
Stamps anr SilveF-ware.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 5.-The post
office here was robbed of about Sl0,-
600 worth Of stamps and silverware
to-day. The robbery took place while
Postmaster Ridgeley was at dinner.
The robbery was not discovered until
5 O'Clock, and those implicated have
so far covered up their tracks. Access
was gained to the vault by the use
of duplicate keys. The vault is To-
Gated in the postmaster's private Of
flee, and the combination is never
turned except at night.
In order to secure entrance to the
vault two keys had to be used, one
to open the spring lock on the door of
the office, and the other to the inner
door of the vault. Both of these
doors were locked when Mr.. Ridgeley
returned to office after lunch. Be-
sides the stamps Mr.. RiGgeley had
stored in the vault his daughters we'd
ding presents, valued at $1,000. The
stamps and silverware would make
an enormous package, and 1t Is hard
to conceive of a method to take them
from the building in broad daylight
without observation. When Assistant
Postmaster McMurphy had occasion
to go to the vault for stamps he found
the interior in wild disorder and ev-
erything of value removed. This was
h first intimation that the place had
been looted. Mr.. Ridgeley, until a
few days ago, had about $4,000 in
cash in the vault, and the theory is
advanced that the thieves had some
intimation Of this and hat they were
after it. The work Is no doubt that Of
experts.

FUND GONE.
Serious Charges Against Prominent
Democrats of Chicago.

DeUiOcFats OF ShtcuEO.
Chicago, April G.-The Post prints a
sensational story regarding the disap-
pearance of 100000 of the Democrat
ic campaign fund. The Post states
that the managers of the recent city
campaign in which Wenter, the Demo
crate nominee, was defeated, charge
his defeat to a lack of necessary cail-
paiGn funds, and also charge that an
enormous sum has been appropriated
by five or six men high in the Demo-
cratic political circles of the city. The
fund, the Post says, was raised by as
sesSment of city hall employees and
others, and amounted to about $780,
600. The Wenter managers claim to
have positive proof that the fund ex-
listed prior to the last election, but
say they were unable to get any of Ii
for campaign expenses. The reputable
men of the Democratic party are said
to have become so thoroughly AROUSED
over the affair that they will endeavor
to secure an investigation and promise
startling developments.
