Indications are increasing that the
coming session OF Congress will see
some action to euro the growing tend
ency of a considerable number OF the
Southern states toward disfranchising
the negro. No sooner was it learned that
the Democratic party had regained
control Of the legislature in Maryland,
than 1t was announced that an educa-
ttonal and property qualification would
be enacted as preliminary to voting,
aud the intimatiOn was given that the
proposed enactment would be aimed
particularly at the nagro. North Car
olIua is also about to take the same
step, and Louisiana has already de-
prived the negro population of its right
to vote by a law 80 manifestly at vari-
auce with the Federal Constitution as
TO receive the condemnation OF SEN
ators Caffery and McEnery of that
state, both Democrats. That the
Southern states have legal right to
require property or educational quail
ificatiou as prerequisite to voting, no
one will dispute; bu. when the laws are
so cunningly devised as to shut out the
negro while protecting the equally indi.
gent and ignorant ''poor whites" II
would seem as though the time is rife
for the intervention OF the strong arm
OF tue Federal authority. 1t Is argued
by republicans In both branches of Con.
gress that the only way 10 stamp oul
this violation OF law and order is for
Congress TO hold that no valid election
can be held under a state law violative
of the Federal fundamental law, aud 10
declare vacant all seats claimed as
results OF such mock elections. An
other plan is suggested in a proposed
measure by Representative Crum-
packer of Indiana, to reduce the repre-
seutatiou OF the South In Congress to
the voting population instead OF the
present basis OF the entire population.

A citizen of Boston who attempted a
little pleasantly while the Dewey func-
ton was going on in the streets of
Boston received a sudden eye-opener
rs to the danger of too free use of
irony, or sarcasm, or even of perpetrat-
ing an innocent little joke in mixed
company. One man near the grand
stand asked, facetiously: "Who is this
man Dewey?" whereupon two or three
other men, who had somewhat sea-
faring look, promptly knocked him
down and hammered the admiral's fame
deep into him.

There are probably very few men
better known in railroad, newspaper
and business circles OF Ohio, than
Moulton Houk, the genial and accomo-
dating General Passenger Agent OF the
Il. & o. G. r. r. About thirteen years
ago he commenced his career with the
o. c. road which at that time was not
Il "bloomin" success in the passenger
line at least. Three years later he was
made General Passenger Agent. AT
that time passenger business was hard
to secure for the line he represented.
The Hooking Valley and C. 81. g. D.
lines were hard competitors and pas =
senger business had not reached very
exalted position with the o. G. people.
Houk, with his young and vigorous
manhood, a strong determination and
clear mind, picked up the broken frag
ments of the work, patched up the
weak places, systematized the business,
and with his strong personality as a
drawing card with the people has
brought up the passenger business to a
point where it is safe to say it is the
equal of any road in the country. All
this has been accomplished by Mr..
Houk, who is still a Young man in
years, but old in ability and knowl-
edge OF how best to win the people g
business by courteous and painstaking
accommodations and thorough atten-
tion to business. He is a success and
SO is the Ohio Central.

Tho death of Vice President
Hobart has brought out a number OF
suggestions ralatiye TO the probable
choice for President McKinley's run
ming mats next year, the result OF the
elections November Z, settling perforce
the first place on the ticket. Natur-
ally since Mr.. Hobart and Attorney
General Griggs are both residents OF
New Jersey, the name Of Mr.. Griggs
was brought forward, but Mr.. Griggs
has expressed desire for a seat on
Supreme Court bench, and thus, 1t
may be said, that he is eliminated from
the list OF probabilities. But it is
not so with Secretary OF War Root.
He is understood to be willing to accept
the second place and is believed to be
President McKinley's choice. Mr..
Root is tower of acknowledged attain
ments, and was recommended for the
War Portfolio, because Of his legal
ability. But his availability for the
Vice Presidential nomination is some
what shadowed by the performance OF
Senators Plat and Depew of Mr.. Roots

feres in behalf of Secretary Root, Mr..

A Montana Dead Beat Didn't Do Thing
to the Pork City Officials.
The Chicago Record of a recent date
has the following in reference to parties
known here:
"Walked All the Way from Montana.
-Lorenz Mcbride and wife walked
into the Evanston police station late
Saturday night and startled the SER
geant with the statement that they had
walked all the way from Miles City,
Mont. and wished a nights lodging.
They had 3year old child with them
and they claimed they had pushed the
baby carriage the whole distance. Nc
Bride said he lived in Milwaukee three
years ago and owned small farm
south of that city. He sold his farm
and went to Montana, where he failed
in business. Then he decided to return
to Milwaukee, and his only way of get
ting there was by walking. The police
gave them lodging and yesterday they
left for Milwaukee.
The couple are we'll known to the
city officials here. Mcbride occupied a
cell in the Billings bastile for several
days for drunkenness and general pure
cussedness. He worked few DAYS at
the Huntley quarry and when paid for
his labor would spend his earnings in
drink. His wife did not have the best
reputation and being on the county

sioners purchased them transportation

eye and that of the right eye is nearly
obscured by a cataract. This alarming
condition of the queens eyes has been
discovered by DR.. Pagensecher, the IA

an immediate operation upon the
queens right eye. An operation is
said to be the only thing that can pre-
vent total blindness. That Queen Vic

gravity of her condition is evident from
the fact that she wore spectacles a few

noble initiative of the czar, saying this
would be a red letter day in the his
tory of the country. and expressing the
hope that his majesty would be able to
look back at the day as the most glor.
ious day of his life.
He concluded with calling attention
to the allegorical group over the door
way Of the hall, Peace entering to close
the temple of Janus. and added:
II trust this beautiful allegory will
be an augury Of your labors and that
after You have completed them, you
will be able 20 say that Peace, whom
art introduced to the hall, left it to
spread its blessings among the whole
humanity.'
The delegates decided to send the fol-
lowing telegram to the czar:
"The peace conference lays at the
feet of your majesty its respectful con-
gratulations upon the occasions of your
birthday and expresses it's sincere desire
to cooperate in the great and noble
work in which your majesty has taken

Fishy Story of an Andree Letter Found in
Bottle on the Coast of Iceland.
Leith, Scotland, May 1s.-The Nor
wegian ship Viking, which arrived

brought report of letter written by
Prof. Andree which was found in a
bottle in April near Riotung, on the
northeast coast Of Iceland, by farmer
named Johan Mangussen.
The letter was addressed to the Polar
expedition at Goeteherg and bore An

that it be placed in the nearest post

Mangussen, it is said, gave the letter

At the same time the Viking brought
