= The war department has refused

- The war department has refused
10 muster Colonel w. j.. Bryan's regi'
ment out of the service in accordance
with what is believed to be the desire
of it's members. Now that the fight
ing is all over, and great many regi,
ments have been relieved from further
service, there is no good reason why
Colonel Bryan's regiment should not
be mustered out. According to cur
notion of the matter, it is only small
politics. 1t will be remembered that
when Colonel Bryan first volunteered
his services for the war, THE ENQU1R-
Err suggested that he was in danger OF
shabby treatment, and the facts are
developing just about that way. But
the administration is not very smart
about this matter. If it were real
smart, it would have mustered out
the Third Nebraska at the very first
intination that the regiment wanted
to quit.

tive committee passed a resolution
providing that recommendations for
appointment as magistrate be made
in the primary election under the
regular rules of the party. In York
township, the managers of the election
required an oath like this: "You
solemnly swear that you are a citizen
of York township and that you are
entitled TO vote in this election"
Since the election has been held and
the result declared, it has developed
the poll list shows it-that among
those who took part are large num-
Der who do not reside in York town
ship.
Now there are laws that are iuten-
ded to protect primary elections, and
these illegal voters are liable to prose-
cutions; but it is very seldom the case
that anyone cares to undertake the
unpleasantness involved in such a
task, and the injustice is usually sub.
mitted to with few suppressed pro-
tests by the citizens who have been
most directly aggrieved.
But whether primary or general,
elections should always be kept pure.
Indeed they should be held as sacred.
The knowledge, or even a strong be-
lief, that the sanctity of the ballot is
being disregarded, is as disturbing to
to the peace and security of commu-
nifty, as is the belief that thieves
and incendiaries are abroad. The
registration law is one of the best
guarantees against fraud of which we
have any knowledge, and unless it is
applied to our primaries the same as
to our general elections, the right OF
the majority to select the officials by
whom it perfers to be governed, will
soon become ridiculous farce.

Judge Mackey's Claim.

Judge Mhckeys Siai"'
News and Courier: Former Judge
Mackey, who has recently figured
prominently in marriage scrapes in
New York and West Virginia, is now
in Washington. 1t appears that his
father-in-law, No.,2, went on his bond.
1t is not known whether this means
that an amicable arrangement of the
matter has been made. Some one
holds a claim of Judge Mackey for
50 500, which the state, will no doubt,
soon have to pay. At the last session
Of the general assembly, after a con-
siderable fight, a joint resolution was
passed, which provided that a board
of three of the state officers inves
tigate the claim of Judge Mackey
for $1,000, for services rendered in
connection with the the Citadel claim.
He agreed TO compromise for S2,5oO.
The special committee was given en-
tire authority TO approve or dlsap'
prove the claim, and the finding of the
special committee was made final.
The committee, however, had no au-
thority to pay the money awarded,
and no money out of which to pay the
amount agreed upon. The special
committee agreed to pay the claim OF
S2, 500, and so made up its report. AS
soon as the special board made its re-
port, Judge Mackey got a certified
copy of the findings and offered his
claim for sale. He was unable to dis
pose of the claim in Columbia, but it
is said that he sold it in New York for
about 81 500 cash.

RIOTlNG MINERS.
Illinois Whites Refuse to be Supplanted by
Alabama Blacks.

AlaDa"a blhChss
There was bloody battle between
white and colored coal miners at Vir.
den, ILL.,, last Wednesday, beginning at
noon and lasting until almost dark.
During the day IA men were killed
and Is were wounded.
The trouble commenced on April l,
1898, when the United Mine Workers,
employed by the Chicago Virden COM
pany, who were getting % cents ton
for mining coal, struck for 40 cents.
President T. C. Loucks, of the Coal
company, refused to accede to the de-
mauds of the miners. The situation
remained comparatively quiet until d
few weeks ago, when 100 Negro mi
ners arrived from Birmingham, Ala
They were met at the station by q
body Of armed miners who succeeded
with persuasion and threats in Undue
ing them to return, the white miners
paying the expense.
President Loucks called upon Gov
ernor Tanner, announced his intention
to bring another load of Negroes and
demanded protection. Governor Tan
ner took the position that the Birm
iugham Negroes were not desirable
citizens that their importation into
the state would certainly bring trou'
BILE, and refused to guarantee protec'
tion. President Loucks then said that
he intended to work his mines if he
had to do it at the point of the bayo'
net and the muzzle Of the Winchester,
and each charged the other with re-
sponsibility for the bloodshed tnat
would follow further developments.
A train containing about 200 Negroes
rolled into Virden Wednesday. The
miners had previous Information of its
coming and were prepared for it.
They appeared at the station armed
with Winchesters, shotguns and re-
volvers, and as soon as the train stop
ped, firing commenced. There was a
lot of deputies on the train, and the
Negroes were also armed. For some
minutes the firing sounded like pro-
longed volley. The engineer OF the
train was wounded in the arm but
the fireman seized the throttle and
moved away with the car loads OF
Negroes, carrying them out of imme-
diate danger to Springfield.
The stockade Of the mines is located
short distance from the point where
the train had stopped. In it were
posted So or 10 deputies in the employ
of the mine owners. They had par
ticipated in the firing on the strikers
while the train was still at the station,
and they continued the fight after
ward. The firing between the depu-
ties and miners lasted quite while,
causing most of the casualties OF the
day.
A detail of militia arrived on the
scene of the trouble at about 10 o'clock
Wednesday night, and during the day
the First Illinois cavalry, stationed at
Chicago, was ordered to help restore
order. The miners are terribly excited
over the situation, and the sympathies
of the people in the immediatevicinity,
as we'll as of the state in general, seem
to be on their side. President Loucks
still holds that he was justifable in
bringing the Negro miners into the
state, and at last accounts the end OF
the trouble was not yet.

- England and France are having
diplomatic quarrel over the rights
of France in the Soudan. At the time
of the recent battle of Omdurman, in
which the British and Egyptians, un'
der General Kitchener, defeated the
Dervishes, there was a French expe'
dition at Fashoda, in the disputed
territory, under Major Marchand'
After the battle the British govern
ment gave the French to understand
that they must get out of the country,
and the ensuing controversy has been
of such a nature that the newspapers
are trying to create the impression
that there is about to be another war.
But the matter hardly seems so serious
as that. Although France has about
as much right in the Soudan as has
Great Britain, she knows that she can
not uphold her contention against the
latter country by war, and the prob
ability is that she will get out of the
matter with as good grace as possible

WANTS THE EARTH.

"Please give me SIS for this" asked
depositor of Cashier Harrison, o.
the Loan and Savings bank, yester'
day, as he handed over receipt fol
that amount made out in due form.
The little cashier, who if he is moi
always polite and obliging, is nothing
looked just u trife embarrassed, shook
his head regretfully, and said:
"I'm sorry but / can't do it. You
will have to write a check, and put
the government tax on it,"
With that the cashier produced q
letter that be had just received from
the collector of internal revenue, SET
thug forth that the receipt racket is
now held to be only device for evad'
ing the payment of the revenue tax,
and that hereafter receipts must not
be cashed unless they have been duly
stamped.
Although the war is over with less
than one-tenth of the anticipated ex.
pense, Uncle Sam evidently does not
propose TO let slip the opportunity to
collect from the people every cent he
can with a view to forLifying himself
against shortages incurred by misman,
agement in other departments of the
government. He wants the earth, and
tax on receipts, which are really not
legally taxable, in addition.
