It is stated on what seems to
be good authority that d negro Or

with the Understanding title Of
the "Afro-American Council for
the District of Columbia, " is pre-
pairing to test the legality of the
suffrage clause Of the constitution
of this State. just when, whore
and how the proposed attack is to
be made does not clearly appear;
but it is quite certain that the
Washington busy-bodies, as we'll
as the Louisiana negroes, would
tare the suffrage clause to tatters
if they had the power to do so.
Il, however, the people of the
Southern States are ever forced
to choose between loss of rep
resentation in Congress and the
elimination of the negro vote in
their respective States, they
will nnhesitatingly adopt the
former alternative.-B. R. Sugar

KILLING OF TIE MAMMOTH.

The authorities Of the Smithsonian IN
s,itution have been subjected TO much
,yorrv lately on account of fiction re-
Gently printed in standard periouioai'
which article is entitled THE Killing ol
tho Mammoth
Nearly every one who read the maya
zine took the story i'm dead earnest, and
as the writer said the skim bones, &c'' oil
the huge animal had been sent to the OIL
fcIals OF the institution, visitors VINO
went 10 the national capital were eager
to see the specimen. The gentlemen who
have charge of the department OF the
museum which contains the remains OF
prehistoric animals have asked the edl-
tors of the magazine 10 correct the erro-
neous impression which they have Gre
ated.
AS a matter Of fact. those who are IA
miliar with zoology should know that the
mammoth is a back number and that
he has no living relatives save the ele-
phant. While the remains of one Of these
huge animals were discovered in the ice
fields of Siberia many years ago, and was
in an almost perfect state of preserva-
ton. il is believed that the Creature died
centuries before. People who go cunning
for the mammoth these days are apt to
he disappointed The Smithsonian Off
Gals, however, have strong inclination
to 20 cunning for the narrator Of the re-
markable fiction.

1t may be- perhaps because Great
Britain virtually holds mortgage on
Portugal to secure big debt OF long
standing. For years past the brllish
Government has been able TO get out OF
Portugal just what 1t wanted-except'
prompt payment Of Portugars debts

DEWEY's VIEWS.

We are prepared to believe the state
ment of the Washington correspondent
Of the New York Herald to the effect
that Admiral Dewey has given his I'M
qualified approval Of the declaration,
made by the President yesterday, that
there shall be no faltering in maintaining
the victory won by him al Manila Bay
The Admiral, IT is stated. "even went
further and expressed his strong convic-
ton that the United states should retain
permanent control Of the Philippines"
We have long thought that Dewey
held these opinions. 1t is natural that
he should. lie wishes to so into history
as the founder Of American empire. so
TO speak, in the East. In this matter he
cannot be n disinterested adviser. Few
men situated as he is could be. While
we do not ignore the fact that his views
will have some influence with the public,
and while we know that the administra-
ton will use them "for all they are
worth" we cannot concede that he is a
safe pilot for the ship of state. No mat
ter how the account be taken, 1t is clear
that our possession of the Philippines
will be a costly luxury. and will bring TO
our country more Of evil than Of good.

used for public purposes. The city mas
been endeavoring through the courts LOT
years to obtain a portion Of the square,
10 be used for public buildings. some
time ago Mr.. Charles Broadway ROuss
offered the city OF Winchester $4,000 Tor

conferences between the city Council ana
the County Board OF Supervisors they
came 10 an agreement through their at
t0rney. Hon. h. II. Byrd this afternoon,

scHLEY FOR TICKET WITH BRYAN
Both ms n Reward md TO Promote
Democratic Success.
New York Journal.)


WASHINGTON. october i-There Is
talk that Rear-Admiral Schley Is to be
placed on the Democratic National
ticket az running mate for Bryan or who
ever heads the ticket. Some Democrats
now here. and fairly representative I'm
character have been much impressed by
the last weeks popular demonstrations
in New York and Washington, and If
Maryland either goes Democratic this fall
or shows a Republican falling off. Schley,
in the opinion Of these gentlemen. is es-
sential to the Democratic campaign.
The story is, therefore, that If the
heroic spirit Is TO invade the next cam
pagn, It will come through the De-
mOcracy. with Schey as the central
figure. Dewey is all right as an admiral,
no matter what ticket Is elected, but
Schley Is doomed TO remain where he Is
as long as the present regime holds out.
Congress is disposed to set matters
right, bat there is little room to doubt
the administrations intention TO protect
Sampson i'm every possible way and to
prevent the promotion of Schley unless
Sampson can get precedence. Schley's
hopes are. therefore. dependent more or
less upon the success Of the Democratic
ticket
IL is said here by men who know Bryan
that he is a great friend OF the Admirafs
and feels keenly the humiliating position
into which he has been placed as a re-
suit Of the controversy arising out of the
battle OF Santiago. 1t Is even said that
Bryan would like very much to have
Schley as a running mate IT, in the Wis
dom Of the Democratic leaders. such OBJ
vlous candidates as George Fred. VIII
liams. of Massachusetts, and o. II. +.
Belmont, Of New York. are not thought
to be good vote catchers I'm the East.
Since II appears impossible for the Adj
mra TO get any higher under the present
regime. and since he will be compelled
TO retire before long on account OF age,
IT is pointed out that he Is i'm a good pO-
sition TO begin a civil career as he is
man with sound faculties and health.
The point is also made by those DEM
ocrats who are not quite willing TO per-
manently commit themselves on the
ticket suggestion that Schey could be a
factor in the campaign by being scheduled
as Secretary Of the Navy in the event OF
Democratic success.
