Miss Anna j. Miller, an estimable

SUFFRAGE TIE SOUTH.

1t appears that Louisiana is making
an effort to follow Mississippi in deal
ing with the suffrage question. The lat
ter State has incorporated, into its con-
stitution an educational qualification
for voters which has effectually
disposed of the negro as a corrupting
political influence. The mass of blacks
are unable to meet the requirements
of the organic law of the Common
wealth, in that they are Incapable of
reading and interpreting the constitu-
ton, and in Mississippi now the result
is felt in a better set of officers and
fewer election scandals.
The Mississippi law has stood the
severest legal tests and is becoming
recognized as wise provision. What
has been accomplished in Mississippi
can be accompt shed in Louisiana and
every other Southern State in which
the ignorant Jacks are menace to
good government and social order.
1t cannot be denied that they have
been the fruitful source of the worst
forms of political corruption. Unprin-
cipled Democratic politicians have used
them as freely when occasion demanded
as have the Republican bosses.
Hordes of them are mere chattels at
the polls. The ease with which their
votes have been purchased has been
taken advantage of more than once by
the managers of Republican presiden-
tial candidates to stock nominating
conventions with delegates bought and
paid for with the calm assurance that
characterizes the bartering of live

OH. WHAT A FROST,

"Foraker and Danford at Bridgeport
tonight" That was on the big ban
ner the band wagon carried.
The meeting of Foraker the bril-
liant and "Danford the gallant" was
advertised and doomed to the extent
of ascolumn or so in the Intelligencer
and that handsome campaign march
ing club, the Elkins Cadets, were
scheduled in the organ to turn out in
full last evening to help along the
Hanna cause over the river.
And the band played on and on and
then paraded the streets for nearly an
hour and a half, going clear around
the hill to gather the crowd that never
came. So the banH wagon and a
lonely carriage of distinguished speak
ers crossed the bridges to Bridgeport
alone and lonely.
Meanwhile similar preparations on
a similar grand scale were going on
over the river vn Bridgeport. The
frost turned the speakers stand and

ity white. Before the fiery Foraker

THE KANSAS METHOD.

An interesting Kansas incident is de-
tailed by the ST. Louis Republic. 1t
appears that Kansas farmers actually
are employing the shotgun as a means
of enforcing their privilege to pay their
debts. 1t is unquestionable in all bus
mess transactions that the man who in
sists upon paying his note before it
falls due is not as bad debtor as the
man who has to be sued. But as Kan
sans usually defy all old rules and set
up new Standards under which they
have prospered very well, this doubt
should not apply to them.
These reflections are occasioned by
the conduct of Butler county farmer
in the busting Kansas metropolis of
Eldorado. The farmer went to bank
there Saturday and told the cashier
that he desired to pay off 81 800 mort
gage on his farm. The cashier looked
up the mortgage, and, finding that it
was drawing 8 per cent and was not
due until next February, told the farm
er that it would have to run to that
date. The farmer thereupon laid the
81, 500 on the counter, pulled out bull
dog revolver, laid it beside the money
and said he was going to pay that
mortgage. This was a new sort of
hold-up to the cashier but what was
he to do? 1t was either accept the
money or make hasty preparation to
go to that bourne where there are not
banks nor mortgages. So he delivered
up the document and took the coin. If
this had happened in any other State
than Kansas there would be a lawsuit
over the transaction But they do things
differently out there.

The goldbugs cay that it would not
do to restore free coinage in India be-
cause the sudden jump in the price of
silver to par or about 60 pence per ounce
would disturb business. How consist
ent are these goldites, They claim
that over here in the event IF free
coinage there would be no such jump
in the price of silver. They say our
dollars would only be worth fifty cents
and on this palpable falsehood they
base their whole argument. The whole

Democratic legislative candidates in

Democratic legislative candidates in
Ohio are pledging themselves not to
support a millionaire for the United
States Senate. This bars Tom John
son and John R. Mclean, which is
well. The Republican legislative candi-
dates, on the other hand, are all
pledged to Millionaire Hanna, who
owns every last man of them. The
issue is plainly drawn between the
people and the corrupt and corrupting
money power in politics.

There is an abandon in the words
don't care as applied to Catherine
Hubscher, the laundress in the play OF
Madame Sans Gene" to be presented
at the Opera House, next Thursday
October Dist. In fact, "Sans Gene"
translated into English, means don't
care" and the play of that name is a
beautiful comedy embracing the most
interesting period of French history
The plot is laid in the time just prior
to, during, and after the French Revo-
luton, and during the days of the
first Empire, when the great Napoleon
reigned supreme as the Emperor of the
French. No nation of the world. within
few years, had such terrible upheav-
ais in its condition as did the French
from the advent of the little corporal
until his exit in exile to Saint Helena,
and no such eventful times for a play
could present itself to the dramatist as
during the commissions ending in the
overthrow of the dissolute court Of
Louis XVI To study the woman of the
people, one can have no better chance
than to see Miss Marion Abbott's per-
iOl lldUtC vi NIductlilS fodUS ana
to get correct view and perfect I'M
Outstanding Of the stirring times Of
Napoleon l., this great comedy offers
every opportunity. Aside from pre-
senting perfectly the events of that day,
with all its noted characters, repre-
sented by an elegant company of play
ers, all the scenes in the comedy are
correct views of the localities and sur
roundings, taken from the historical
pictures in the Louvre.
Another crowded house saw the Pay
ton Big Comedy Company at the Grand
last night, and was alternately laughing
and applauding throughout the excel

of Woman Against Woman" As on
the previous evening it was excellently
cast, Miss Hamilton proving herself
a strong emotional actress, and other
members of the company doing their
respective parts toward providing one
of the best entertainments ever given
here at popular prices. The special
ties were entirely different from Mon
day night and will be changed at each
performance. This afternoon the strong
melodrama, East Lynne" will be pre-
scented, and tonight comedy bill will
be on the boards-"A Member of Con-
gress," from the pen of Scott Marble.

commendable interest in the appearance
at the Opera House Friday night of

Friday evening by Miss Grace Up

price of seats has been fixed low enough
to enable all music lovers to hear Mr..
