GEORGIA D/SFRANCX7SE
MENT BILL DEFkATED

Last week the FIardwick Bill
which was introduced to disfranchise
the Negroes of Georgia, met its just
defeat at the hands of the Georgia
Legislators, by vote of r37 against
and only 3 for it. This act alone is
commendable, and to meet SUI h
overwhelming defeat shows that there
are yet some conCientious good
white men of the Sunny South.
Those redeeming features and signs
of justice coming to us away up
North is indeed very consoling to US,
and we may yet sing with universal
spirit, "M' Country 'Tis of Thee
Sweet Land of Liberty, but when
we reflect and think, the first cover
nor of Georgia during the Colonial
period, that much beloved James
Oglethrope opposed slav ry and the
slave trade and would not tolerate it,
and many years after he left Georgia
slavery was prohibited. We con-
gratulate the Georgia legislature for
taking such bold stand, also much
credit must be given the leading
colored men and colo-e newspapers
for their effective work, especially
Col. ]. H. Deveaux, and Col. Pledg
er, who worked hard both night and
day. Below is copy of the bill:
1.-THE Hardwick bill provided that no
person should be a com petent voter un-
less he was able to read and write any
paragraph of the Constitution of this
State; to understand any paragraph of
such Constitution, and to give rea-
sonable interpre alton thereof; provil.
ed, however hat no male person who
was on January l. 1867 or at any time
prior thereto, entitled to vote under
the laws of the State wherein he then
resided, and no lineal descendant Of
such person., be denied the right to
register and vote at any election in this
State, by reason Of his failure to pos
sess the educational qualifications re-
quired therefor.

feat of the Jim Crow bill few years
ago BY Democratic legislature will

PRESIDENTS MESA GE.

As required by law President Nc
Kinley submitted his annual message
last Tuesday morning to the first
session of the 56th U. S. Congress.
l was a very lengthy and in many
respects quite interesting. 1t was
longer perhaps than most of the
former documents, Yet when " re-
fleet and think of the newly acquired
territory and the relations that the
islands of Cuba and Philippines sus-
tains to us, it would necessarily have
to be longer than the orc n ry mes
sage. He takes up and deals In a
clear statesmanlike manner the ques-
tion of the Philippines, stating that
every effort is made to preserve
peace in the island, and that the
future of the islands rest with Con-
gress, which is urged to act prompt
ly. Of Cuba he says that the pledge
OF Independence is one to be sacred.
ly.kept by the U. S. Than he takes
up a deal with each logically, Porto
Rico, Hawaii, Samoa, Currency,
Trusts, Boer war, Foreign relations,
English relations, German relations,
Lynching of Italians, Spain, Turkey,
Japan, Chinese affairs, Mexico,
Nicaragua canal, Reciprocity treaty,
Peace conference, Paris Exposition,
Merchant marine, Volunteers, Reg
ular army, Pensions, Postal services,
navy, Agricultural, Alaska Civil
service, Treasury surplus, which i:
40, 90, 900 for this year. He a'sc
takes up that which is very imp r
tant to our race; the lynching ques.
ton. He takes a strong stanc
against ly nch law in the following
words: -
"The love of law and the sense of ODE
dience and Submission to the lawfully
constituted judicial tribunals are emb'
ed il the hearts Of our peop;e, and any
violation of the sentiments aud disre
gard of their Obligations Justly aroust
public condemnation. The guarantees
of life, liberty and Of civil rights shouIt
b, faithfully upheld; the right of tr:a
by jury respected and defended. Th
p%a6l6 st Of hth the soSn pfdmpt pts" ra u shos
charge with criminal otfenses, and up
on conviction the punishment should b.
commensurate with tho enormily of tn
crime.
Those who, in disregard of law ant
the public peace, unwilling to awai
the judgment of court and jury, cons
tituLe themselves judges and execution
ers should not escape the severest pen
alties for their erlmes."
What said in my inaugural address
of March 4, 1897, now repeat:
1.-The constituted authorities shoult
be cheerfully and vigorously upheld
EkLynchings must not be tolerated in ;
great and civilized country like th'
United States. Courts, not mobs, mus
execute tue penalties Of the laws. Th'
reservation of public order, the righ
of discussion, the integrity Of court:
and orderly administration Of justice
must continue forever the rock Of safe
ty upon which our government securely
rests"

Quarantine Maintained.

Great Falls, April 24.-Although no new
cases of smallpox have developed lately
al Glasgow, at contiguous points on the
Great Northern the quarantine Is being
strictly maintained. The cases in the
Glasgow pest house are reported as pro-
crossing favorably and seem to be only
the mild type of the disease known as
varioloid. Mark D. Hoyt, the health
officer, has posted and sent to saloons and
stores the following order: you are
hereby notified that you are to prevent
the gathering of all crowds in your
places of business. No card games will
be allowed in any saloon aand no loafiing
in any place of business. Any one violat-
ing this rule will have his place of bust
ness closed until the epidemic is over"

Claims in the New Year Group Trans

Great Falls, April PA large min
ing deal was this week consumma ted
in Fergus county by the transfer of
the claims in the New Year group to w.
e. Johnson, as trustee. Seven deeds
were filed for record and the amount
of the transaction was $4,000. OF this
sum F. +. Wright, cashier of the Bank
of Fergus county, receives a large pro-
portion, his interest in the group being
reported as one third. OF the transac-
'tion and the history of the mines, the
Argus gives the following review:
"Messrs. w. e. johnson and A. S.
Wright bonded the aAnines in August,
1898, for a term of two years consider
alton stated being $4,000. During the
past seven months they have contin-
uously opera ted the mill and prospect
ed the ground, SO that they know, as
well as one can, what they are buying.
and are much pleased to have the deal
closed.
''Mr. Wright informs us that it is the
intention of the purchasers, to whom
the mines will be transferred by the
trustees, to Immediately erect a large
cyanide mill, probably 100 tons, and to
push work as actively as caution will
admit
In 1897 the group was bonded to w.
DEL Benedict of New York city for
$4,000, but his bond was forfeited.
THE grantors are A. D. Harmon,
Burr E. Vinson, w. G. Norman, F.
E. Wright, A. T. Wright, G. H. Pur-
mort and A. S. Wright. Messrs. Har-
mon, Vinson and Norman are the orig
inal discoveries. A. T. Wright is a
brother of Frank E. A. S. Wright has
been associated with Mr.. Johnson and
Mr.. Purmort has been manager at the
property for the past eight months
I'm all, save the Norman deed, the
consideration is fixed at 81, while Mr.
Norman and wife received $4,000. Mr..
