in DEEPENING rivers and harbors for
navigation was voyarine slowly and

desert. 1t was started landward from
Salt river, and was excavatine its own

the work was not, in fact, the making of
a new channel, but the digging out of
an old one, the irrigating canal made

THE SOUTH AND HER SLAVES.
What She Did for Thcm-TI,e Women

What She Did for Thcm-The Women
Were ueroincs.
Rev. Edward L. Pell, of this city, is
collecting material for history of the
efforts made by the south for the moral
elevation OF the negro before the war.
The facts of such history, while not
easily available, are more abundant
than is generally supposed. Not only
did the churches of the south spend
large sums of money in missionary
work among the blacks, but it was not
uncommon for persons who owned a
large body of slaves to have place of
worship for them and to have preacher
employed for their especial ministry.
Moreover, every white church had its
contingent of colored members, who
had voice in the management of
church affairs, and so sacred was this
tie that many of the colored people con-
tinued their membership in the white
churches even after they were enamel
pated. The efforts of individual lay
men, as, for example Stonewall Jack
son, in the Sunday school for slaves at
Lexington, would make another long
and touching chapter.
All this is nothing, however, as COM
pared with the work done for the negro
by the women of the south. The idea
that the southern women were made
heroines by the late war is far from the
fact. They were heroines from the be-
ginning and they had been in training
from the time that the slaves came into
our possession. Instead of the many
public charities in which they are en-
gagged to-day, they devoted their time to
the instruction of the slaves and the
amelioration of their condition. Seek
any old negro and ask him S-5aszzEE he got
his religious instruction and he will

Says Farmers Arc Entitled to Good

In a speech delivered recently at
Rome City, Ind, Gov. Mount said: 1.-The
farmers have right to demand that the
government at least cooperate with
them in securing better mail facilities
for the country. The farmer of the
twentieth century mu0t be man of the
broadcast mind, of the highest develop
ment. The farmers home must be sup
piled with books, papers and mag
azines. He must keep in touch with the
intellectual, social and business world.
To secure the advantages of daily mail,
good roads will be necessity. With
good thoroughfares TO secure speedy
transit, then, by the cooperation OF the
farmers and the government, arrange
ments can be made for the deposit by
the postman of the farmers mail In
box opposite his home. Good roads and
daily mails to the farmer of the coming
years will be indispensable to the
highest success, socially, financially and
intellectually"

BLAND : ALLISON SILVER ACT
SUIT TO DETERMINE ITS CON
STITUTIoNALITY.
Friendly In Its Character, But the
Case Will Be Carried to Supreme
Court In Any Event.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 31.-A friendly
suit in chancery was begun today in
the circuit court at Pontiac, to deter
mine the constitutiOnality of the Bland
Allison silver act of 1878.
Stephen Baldwin, a Detroit capitalist,
purchased some land upon which there
is a mortgage held by Fred A. Baker,
chairman of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee. Mr.. Baldwin rendered
S64 silver dollars in payment of the
amount due on the shortage.
Mr. Baker declined TO accept silver
dollars, unless enough of them were
rendered to equal, at the present bullion
value os silver, 364 gold dollars. Ac-
cCl dinghy, suit was begun to obtain a
decree compelling Chairman Baker to
cancel the mortgage, and accept the
tender made.
EX-COngressman Timothy h. TarSney
is compliments attorney, and all the
parties are prominent silver men and
Will carry the case to the United States
supreme court in any event. Chairman
Baker says: Il will contend before the
courts that the Bland-Allson act is I'M
constitutional, because it does not pro-
vide for free coinage. 1t provided only
that the government should buy silver
at its deprecated price in gold, and
pocket the seigniorage. Yes. legaliZed

Columbus, O., Jan. 31.-The investi-
cation into the alleged attempt to bride
Representative Otis to vote for Senator
Hanna during the late senatorial con-
test is rapidly drawing TO an end. The
committee held a brief session after
the senate adjourned this evening.
Attorney I. c. Campbell was the
only witness examined. He was recalled
for the purpose of allowing Senators
Robertson and Garfield, who We're not
present last Friday, when Mr.. Campbell
was on the stand, TO question him;
Neither of the senator's, however, asked
a question. and the only queries were
made by Chairman Burke. Mr.. Camp
bell told OF his personal relations to-
ward Otis He said he had frequently
acted as attorney for otis and always
considered Otis as a straightforward
and honest man.
He said Nj Otis had always been u
sort of mild Republican. Campbell said
he did not see how Otis could have
voted for Hanna, as Otis was a men,
Der of a free silver club. Campbell
said he had always been on friendly
terms with Senator Hanna and had
beer associated in several ways with
some of Hanna'S friends. He claimed
he had been supporter Of Hanna un-
III dAleI lHe ldtbeI poSAliosi vi tiiS
money question had been known after
his appointment to The senate. Then
he had rather drifted away from tie
senator politically. Campbell claimed
he had been a supporter of Mckinley
in the presidential campaign on ac-
count of his views on the tariff.
No other witnesses were examined,
and the crowd of spectators who had
gathered were somewhat disappointed.
