NEAR A SETTLEMENT.
The Coal Conference at Chicago Evil
IDENTIFY VIII Reach "a Decision.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The coal miners
and operators convention has drawn a
step nearer settlement. Although the
scale committee, to which all matters
before the meeting were referred back,
failed to report, it was stated that Ohio
and Pennsylvania operators had prac-
tically thrown aside their differences
and it remained for Indiana and Illinois
operators to do the same. The secretary
read the result of the Ohio conference,
which was as follows:
IF all other points at issue in this
convention can be settled, Ohio will not
allow the question of differentials to
stand in the way of settlement"
1t is understood that the Illinois COM
mittee, which consisted of 81 miners
and a like number of operators, came to
an agreement to make some concessions
to the competing territories of Indiana,
and asking for the same consideration
at the hands of the Indiana people.
The Indiana operators admit that the
Illinois conference submitted q plan,
and III order to meet the Illinois peopi
fairly, they have called a meeting wi.
their miners. On the result of Ahis CO :
ference will depend the action aiken :
the scale committee. If, as it is nov
anticipated by a majority of delegates,
the Indiana conference will meet til
issue half way, a quick and satisfacto- J
settlement will be reached.

States Attorney Deenen Tried to Prove
This on the Alleged Murderer.

CHICAGO, Jan 26.-The cross exami-
nation of Adolph L. Luetgert was re-
sumed by States Attorney Deenen when
the sausage makers trial for wife muir
der was called Questions that eonsti-
tuted a serious attack on his business
integrity were put to Luetgert in great
variety by the states attorney, and at
times the defendant became somewhat
perplexed, and moved about uneasily in
his chair. To all questions, however,
Luetgert had but one answer, 81 do not
recolleet any such thing" Attorney
Hai n, counsel for LUetgert, did his
bes. shut 81 state S Acknowledgement,
bat =, to1ney Harmon $ objections were,
with very few exceptions, overruled by
Judge Gary, the result being that some
decidedly warm language passed be-
tween the court and the prisoners
counsel
Briefly told this is the tale of fraudu-
lent transactions the states attorney
tried to show:
After Luetgert returned from New
York he found he could not make the
factory pay. So he took much of the
goods on hand and placed them in a
stoehouse, while his confidential man
held the warehouse receipts. Then he
drew out all the money he could and
falsifed the books. One case alleged is
where he is said to have sent Otto
Tosch to Foreman Bros. bank to draw
81 200 under a fictitious name on a
false bill
Following Luetgert came the entire
police force of Monmouth, Ills, real
estate man and a daily newspaper re-
porter. They We're shown a photo
graph of Mrs. Luetgert, and swore that
they had seen a woman who looked
very much like the picture in Mon
mouth, Aug. 20 last.
Today Mrs. Thompson of Kewanee
will add her testimony to the Monmouth
evidence, and then the defense expects
to spring its most recent sensational
man who will swear that he saw Mrs.
Luetgert come out of her home between
10 and II o'clock the night of May I

The Negro and

Can Color Be Made Bar to Office by Law Without Vo-

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Contrary to the prevalent impression
there is not one word in the Constitu-
ton of the United States. or the amend
ments thereto forbidding any State that
chooses to do So from passing laws alb
solutely denying the negro the right to
hold office in it. Every one will admit
that if there is anything denying a State
the right to enact such legislation, it is
contained in what might be styled the
negro amendments-the 18th, 18th and
10Th. Let us examine these, taking up
the last one first.

The Fiji .eentE lmendment Gees not

person. 1t prevents the State, or the
United States, noyayr, from giving
preference in this particular, to one
citizen of the United States over another
on account of race, colo, or previous con-
dition of servitude. Before its adoption
this could be done. L aite.l States vs..

The Fifteenth amendment does apply
to rights of suffrage, and to those only.
From the report of Senator Edmunds,
1870, submitted to the u. s. Senate
from the Committee on judiciary.
THE SUM OF THE MATTER.
To sum the matter up:
The 18th amendment freed the ne
groes, but did nothing else for them.
The 18th amendment conferred citi-
zenship upon them with its privileges
and immunties" and while they were
permitted to vote and hold office under
it, they were not guaranteed in either
of these rights" until the passing of
the 10Th.
The 18th amendment guaranteed to
them in each State, the same rights"
in voting that were accorded to the white
men in it, but did not likewise guaran-
tee them in the right to mold office, thus
leaving each State still with the power
to deprive them Of that right if it
chooses to do so. And there the matter
stands now. What will the Legislature
do with this phase of the egro ques-
ton when it meets?
