wANT-coLUMNs AND CURIOSITY

The "Want-Columns" OF a big daily
paper furnish an hours interesting
reading to many people. Just as ladies
are said to rush into advertising col
umns; the broker to the stock reports;
the dude to the social columns; the
curious rush to the Want Columns"
Here, indeed, is q varied and motley
condition of affairs. People want
everything from a front room to
horseless carriage. They lose every
thing from n darning needle to stone
gate-post. They find articles too nu-
merous to mention.
1t is only recently however, If we are
correctly Informed. that the Want"
column is used for purposes Of fraud.
In New York city there is regularly or
ganized syndicates. who work" differ
ent portions of the city. The process is
simple enough.
A lady lost, and advertised for. val
liable piece of jewelry. A well-dressed
gentleman calls. bearing a letter from
a lady in another city, saying that she
has found the article and desires the
loser to call upon her at certain place
and obtain the article. She wishes no
compensation, but would appreciate the
losers paying the car fare of the bearer
of the letter.
The grateful loser almost invariably
rewards, handsomely, the gentleman"
and repairs at once to the address
given, but to find no such number eX-
lists. 1t is n clear, neat fraud.
The Personal" column of big dailies
is another interesting corner Of the
paper. a well-known New York paper
is celebrated for the Personals" While
its use is sometimes to be regretted IL
reports be true, it is also of business
service. The Police Department show
many occasions where well-known
thieves and burglars, in hiding. have
communicate ted with each other.
There is not more of life to be found
anywhere, in Il small space. than In the
want" and Personal columns of a
daily paper.

SOUTHERN SUFFRAGE.

In the matter OF Southern suffrage
and constitutions, Congress can profit
ably let the Southern States alone,
since it has no power of interfer-
ence.
The Southern States have their own
destiny to work out. and 1t may be
accepted as an assured fact. judging
from the past twenty years. that that
destiny will be q grand success.
Financially, commercially, industri-
ally and cducationally, the South is
pulling herself together and taking the
rank to which she is entitled and pos
sessed before the war. Thousands OF
factories rear their heads where barren
wastes or deserted streets once were.
Her miles of water power now turn
busy wheels, making power for mil
lions of machines. Cities stand where
there were once towns. Magnificent
schools. colleges and churches decorate
the land.
The result of all this is that millions
of outside money is coming South to
Dixie People all over the world look
with favor upon our conditions, So
cial, financial and religious. The peo-
pie of the South know what is good
for them; they are more than capable
of taking care of themselves; of max
ing their own laws and social condi-
tons. Ii is their country. to visit
which they extend an invitation to all
good people, many Of whom are coming
and coming to stay.
There are thousands of dollars of out
side money invested in the South,
which Southcrners are making produc-
tive, are caring for, and now propose
protecting with the continuance of
good laws. good officers and proper
conditions.

wATTERSoN TO BELMONT.

The surface of the great Goebcl fight
in Kentucky has been very apparent for
many months, but the real inside work
ings-that part in which the master
hands of past degree politicians took
a parts only leaking out gradually.
There is no doubt about its coming 10
the surface.
IL was not to be supposed that Henri
Watterson was idle during this intense
feeling. Indeed, it now transpircs that
the Hon. Henri was pummelling away
at a lively rate at the powers that be,
particularly Mr.. August Belmont, as
shown by Watcrson's letters just given
out to the press.
Mr.. Wattcrsons letters to Mr.. Bel
mont show the wonderful condition of
affairs OF Kentucky statesmen appeal
ing to New York money-bags to be al
lowed TO elect their own candidates. Mr.
Belmont wished only to control the

But what does 1t all mean? The cor
rcspondence shows that many of the
States have their political machinery
arranged for them many miles from the
scene of action. Indeed, many people
could be considerably enlightened on
this subject.
This state of affairs was unfortunate
ms 1t Is degrading When millionaire
capitalists and bankers, by political
machienery, endeavor to thwart the
popular will there is always underhand
work and serious trouble. The people
are the taxpayers and voters. They
are human beings and men, They are
oftener patriots and sclf-sacrificing cit
liens.
The very manhood of these people is
questioned by such action of the capt.
talistic class. Henri Waterson asked
only that no OUTSIDE influence be
used; but he asked in vain. He stated
that his paper. the Louisville Courier
Journal. had always protected Mr.. Bel
monts interests, as 1t defended all vest
ed rights, but that 1t would brook no
interference with the voters of Ken

taken in the Goebcl fight.

(The Chicago Record


Congressman Peter j. Otey told a
number of stories in his recent speech
on the currency bill and recited a good
zeal or poetry in q sonorous voice.
Among other things hequoted this cpl
taph to the banker:
Here lies Old Thirty-Three Per cent.
The more he got, the more he lent:
The more he lent the more he crayed!
Good Lord, can such a soul be saved. Z"
Mr. Otey composed a parody on the
National hymn which begins
My country, tbs OF thee,
Land of plutocracy,
For thee 1 moan
and compared the goldbug to NaDoleon
as devastator of the earth. "Feared
by friends, despised by foes
a desolator desolate
A victor overthrown,
The arbiter Of others fate.
~ Suppliant of his own"
In his peroration Mr.. Otey, continuing
the comparison, declared that the eff
fects of the passage of the currency bill
would be millions of desolate homes.

What the London truth, 'Labouche-

preaching morality to horde of pirates
while they are dividing their booty or
making the crew of a captured vessel
walk the plank. " And the worst of it is
that the cases of the Beers and the
Filipinos are 1denticaIly the same in
principle even if the latter is not the
worse, for the Beers were never the al
