How the South Works It.

You just can't get ahead of Misss-
sippi in managing the voting process.
That enlightened state with which
our Populst friends have been ham
kering to "clasp hands" has a new
law which provides that the voter,
before he can register, must be able
to interpret any clause in the Federal
constitution. If the voter applying
happens to belong to the Democratic
party, he is given some simple SEN
tence to interpret, and the clerk of
district court, who is Democrat, has
no difficulty in satisfying himself that
the applicant is qualified. When an
intelligent Republican negro applies,
he first proves that he can read and
write. Then the clerk asks him to
construe some difficult clause of the
constitution, upon the Interpretation
of which even Thomas Jefferson and
John Quincy Adams would have diff
fered. No matter which construc-
ton the applicant gives, the clerk de-
cides against him. OF course he may
then appeal to the election board of
three Democrats, but they invariably
sustain the clerk. By these methods
the vote Of Mississippi has been cut
down from 100000 votes to 1000.
"Clasping hands" with that kind of
civilization does not suit Kansas.

A few days ago there were strange
dispatches from Mexico-"Gold at
1875 per cent. premium. Business
paralyzed." Why should business be
paralyz ed in a free-siver country, a
"bimetallic country" like Mexico, by
a premium on goldP How does it
happen that free silver is not the
medicine to cure this troublep The
old farmers who hear the voices of the
silver screechers telling how the gold
standard hurts the toilers on the farm

answer to this question and insist
upon getting it.

HOSPITALITY AT DULUTH.
Twin City Maccabees Find 1t the
Right Sort.

Some of the Maccabees of the Twin Cities
who went to Duluth Saturday afternoon to
awaken interest in the Zenith city and the
adjacent towns in the state convention and
Northwestern reunion of the Maccabees, which
takes place in St. Paul, June 2, returned from
Duluth last evening. They were royalty enter
tanned by the members of the order in Duluth.
Saturday evening they attended social ses-
sion at which 900 Maccabees were present,
and had good time. Yesterday morning they
were taken out on a tug for spin around the
harbor, and in the afternoon were driven
around the city. The intention of the Macca-
bees at the head of the lake, as told in the
Glob yesterday, is to charter a special
train for the convention. If a sufficient NUM-
Der can arrange to attend, nothing but
special train goes. II, however, smaller num-
Der than the Indications point to come
to st. Paul, they will engage enough special
cars for the trip.
AS stated, the entertainment at Duluth Sat
urday night was an enjoyable affair. The
meeting opened by singing and an adj
dress of welcome by the state commander,
]. N. Chellew of Du.uh. The programme
consisted of a solo by Sir Knight Porter, who
responded to an encore; speech by DR.. Hub
bell, of St. Paul; recitation by Sir Knight Alex
w. Stewart of West Duluth Tent No. 2, who
responded to an encore; address by Past State
Commander NJ S Mead, of st. Paul; piano
and mandolin duet by Dorner and Werness
who received, generous applause. j. H. Fregil-
gas of st. Paul, chairman of the convention
committee, made a short speech, followed by
a solo by j. P. Moran who responded to an
encore. F. w. Stevens, deputy supreme COM
mander, followed with a short talk on Macca-
beeism. Sir Knight Judd, of Minneapolis, was
next on the list and made few remarks. An
auto-harp duet by the Moran brothers, ac-
companied by Miss Moran, followed and
was rendered very decided encore, and a
second recall. Sir Knight Henry, of Mime
apolis, made short speech. This was followed
by song by Sir Knight Eyferth.
After the refreshments which were partaken
of at midnight there a social session Of
an informal nature, and on the whole very
enjoyable evening passed.

The tales told by Ed Thorp since his
return from the Klondike have set Jul
neau wild. He says: The stories in
circulation concerning the extraordi-
nary richness of the recent discoveries
in the Klondike district have not been
exaggerated in the least. Gold in good
paving quantities has been found on a
number of creeks above Bonanza, but
interest centers almost entirely in that
stream and Eldorado, it's first and prin-
cipal tributary.
1.-THE amount of gold contained in
many of the claims, which can be
computed with a reasonable degree Of
accuracy by sinking dozen or fifteen
prospect holes in various portions Of
the pay streak and taking an average
of number of pans from each one, is
almost incredible. When 1T is remem-
bered that dirt that averages 10 cents

must it be when it runs 81 and IS to

dozen savage cuts on the head and face.
In less than five minutes thousand excited
citizens had gathered on the scene, and
there was every indication of trouble. Six
shooters were in evidence, and for q time
it looked If nothing could avert row,
but the sheriff and his deputies were on the

Judge Scarborough is trustee of Baylor

his paper on the university is what caused
the trouble this afternoon. Young Scar

institution and say that Branns attack was

After the affair Brann made this state

suddenly three pistols were stuck in my
face. AS 1 was descending the steps blows
were rained on my head. In front of the
building stood my carriage, and l was pre-
