A travelling man was in R.W.
Beatty's store Monday, who re-
sides in Minneapolis, said he
had just received a letter from
his wife, who mentioned that
there were 15O cases of fchicken
pox in the ward they live in.
The remains of Frank Up
ham and John Buckley arrived

r. w. Beatty is taking ad-
vantage of the dull times by

the time and Beatty's is the

money in the operation; that is

some money left.
We believe there have been
twelve or fifteen cases of chick
en- pox all told in the city and
to this time only two or three
grown people have taken it. So
that out of all this noise about
small pox here, it is almost
wholly among children.

If nothing happens bigger
than a saw-mill school may
open Monday. 1t would seem
that by being-careful not to al

who have recentlv had chicken
pox to attend school and by
watching close for new cases.
the schools might open safely
enough.
Out of all the controversy
over the. chicken pox scare at
Minneapolis, which includes
hundreds of cases, there is but
one case of snaall pox, and that
is a young man 10 years of age,
whose home is ten miles from
Mortified and who contracted
the disease before he went in
to Minneapolis.
Rev. DIR. Robertson, president

the President and the war department to

not afterwards confirmed by any more ex-

the converting of Congress in special ses-
sion is certainly within the probabilities.
In this state of affairs there is consid-
cradle speculation as to the response that

Gov. Gambler said he believed that the

Paris, Jun 2s.-The visitor to the Chica-
60 Exposition of 1898 could scarcely avoid
a feeling of sadness that the splendid
white palaces, so artistic. so dgnihed and
SO impressive, were to exist for a season
onlyHnd then to disappear-to be remem-
bered only as a dream is remembered
~ this case a dream of architectural beau
ty exceeding all other dreams and all real
tiles. The visitor to the Paris Exposition
Of 1900 is oppressed by no such feeling.
He can contemplate the prospective dsap-
pearance of the majority of the fiamboy-
ant, fantastic structures here with COM

This reason is that the fear and ap-
prehension awakened by an irrespon-
sible African vote have banded to-
gether, as with hoops of steel, nearly
the entire white population. For this
cause the names of candidates are
decided in primary elections" And
the gravest matters of policy are
also practically settled in the same
way. Thus the primary elections"
have, to all intentS and purposes,
taken the place of those in which al
citizens may participate. To them
the white electors crowd, the inva-
lids even being taken in hacks and
carriages, as 1 personally witnessed
recently during a most exciting con-
test in South Carolina. And, there
fore, having practically settled every
thing in the primaries, they can
hardly feel the necessity for doing
more. The urgent entreaties of their
own candidates fail to bring them a
second time from their business en-
gagements. Hence, the vote at the
general elections is light, and will re-
main so for a time.
The same apprehensions have
forced into n political party nearly
all the Anglo Saxons of the South.
Remove this fear, and men of the
white will race be free in future to
follow each his own convictions as
to policies of the gravest moment.
Such questions are sure to arise from
time to time. And when they do,
the men best fitted to govern ought
to be free to take sides.
But so long as the black cloud of
African suffrage hangs over us, other
issues, no matter howimportant they
may be, Will necessarily be remanded
to the background. And thus it
comes to pass that in the South the
fundamental principle of all free
governments-alternating control by
rival parties and opposing policies
is practically suspended.
None need fear that, by limiting
the ballot in the manner now under
discussion, we will be giving an I'M
limited lease of power to any party.
On the contrary, we will remOve a
barrier to freedom of action among
white voters, and thereby give to all
parties and all policies full scope to
show whatever there is in them of
wisdom-or of folly. That oppor-
tunity we have not now in tne South,
nor can we have it under present
conditions. GEO. E. BOGGs.

FOR HI
President.

Prof. McIver Changes His Mind and Will
Support the Amendment.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
l have carefully considered all that
I have heard or read on both sides,
and 1 am now convinced that it will
be best for all-white or black, rich
or poor-to adopt the amendment.
1t will restore good will among the
people.
1t will preserve good government.
1t will promote good morals.
It will disfranchise no white man
unless he wants to be DISTINGUISHED.
1t will disfranchise no colOred man
any longer than he learns to read
and write and establishes for him
self a good character.
1t is a proper construction of the
XIV. Amendment of the U. S. Con-
stitution.
shall, therefore, vote for the
Amendment, and for the Amendment
candidate for Governor.
