MANY ARE MADE CITIZENS.
Primary Elections Cause = Rush For
Naturalization Papers.

Yesterday was busy day in the clerks
oflces. OF The superior and federal courts.
On account of the primary voting many
men were taking out naturalization pa
pers. In the county court house voting
was going on In the basement and another
primary was being held next door to the
federal court house. In consequence there
was more or less stir about both places
all day. In the superior court Lawrence
Bromwisz and Anton Howith took out
their final papers and in the federal court
Edward Graham. Angel Lewis. George
Boyes. Anton Hanson Dybdal. George
Thompson. John XIII, Anton Andretohn-
son. Peter Severson and John Johnson
were admitted to citizenship.
Many humorous incidents took place
while the prospective voters were being
examined. One OF them thought that
taking the oath of allegiance was equiva-
lent TO shouldering musket and starting
for China, having evidently gotten the
primaries mixed up in some way with the
First cavalry. In reply to one OF the
questions this particular candidate aston,
ished the Judge by holding up his hand
and swearing that he was quite willing
to fight the Chinese and that he was
ready to start at once. The judge ex-
plained that he was not running re-
cruiting station at the court house. ana
proceeded with the examination.

Checks q More Disastrous Blnse.

What might have been a much more
serious confagfation broke out early yes
terday morning in the factory of the
Pacific Door Company, on the water

George Silbee, the older OF the two

He also called to his brothers, with an
oath, and commanded him to "die

Phillips struck him on the head with

Ed MeeRs was equally fearless in the
hands Of the mob, but he did not maa-

his brother. His last words were:

The doomed man got NJ faather in
his statement, and IN moment he

The leaders OF the mob then went
back to the Jail in search of old man
Phillips. In the meantime the Jail
keepers had secreted him, and when
the lvnchers came back they were told
that Phillips had been hurried away.
After brief search the lynehers seem.

left the scene.
The direct cause OF the lynching was

upon Deputy Sheriff Behmer, who was
feiled by Siibee with an iron bar which
the prisoner ad secreted. Other dep

the scrimmage fired several shots a,

carried their rations by means of q

spectacle with its unique mode Of
transportation. Men who were PROS

be a sad day for both races when the
inferior oae is driven by social ostra-
cisn TO collect lin separate communi--

This is different question from that:
OF mixed schools Children mix to-.
gether at homes in the most friendly
manner, but there they are ALWAYS un-
der the eye Of their parents. At school
it is entirely different. The constant
parental supervision is absent, aud it
is, undoubtedly best to have them in
separate schools.
CONSTANT INSULT,
But the "Jim Crow'' car ia a eonstant
insult to them They feel il, and re-
sent it bitterly. II there is a public
necessity it ought to be provided, but
1t surely is unwise to hurt the feelings
OF so large portion Of our citiz suship.
Take all possible steps to limit Negro
suffrage. They will gladly wel,ome a
franchise based on intelligence, educa-
tion, character. aud property.
They know that will be Just and
right. Vest police powers in conduc-
tors and brskeme n on the railroads. It
would seem that such action would
operate only on offenders against or

ought to b5 sufficient for the Objact in
view but surely it would be unwise to
widen the social division existing in
Virginia.
HAPPY AND PRACEABLE TOGETHER.
Here we have never had Jim Grow
cars, and wa are happy aud psaceable
together. Further south Jim Crow
cars are the rule. and Negro riots. dis
costent, and uahsp2iness generally
prevail.
These suggestions are made with the
sole object OF promoting the harmony
aud happiness of society in Virginia.
