Pond and there is great rejoic-
ing over there about 8 o'clock
every night-among the frogs,
who are conducting a revival
meeting and every one is sing
ing and shouting and the inhabi-
tants of the town cannot even

tice.
If the negro vote in the east is
not the one that the Amendment
is going to eliminate from polls
tics in the future, why is it that
the white Republicans, who r
the beneficlaries of that vote-for
every white Republican in the
east Is an Office holder or an off
fee seeker-are all of them, to a
man, talking against the Amend
ment. Is this not significant?
*
Have you read the amendment?
If not it is your duty to do so. It
is a measure that will bear the
light of day and will stand sues
~cessfully the most penetrating
light some in its operations to
every white man in the State and
is entirely just. 1t guarantees
the survival of the fttest in af-
fairs of government and is the
greatest public inducement yet
invented for inspiring people to
become better citizens in morals
and intelligence.

How r you? Have you read
the Constitutional Amendment and
are you prepared to explain it to
any who may chance to ask you
concerning its provisions? If not,
60 post yourself at once This is a
time when every white man should
be a worker fer the supremacy of
his race at the polls and in the
control of the government, found
ed by the Fathers-conceived in
Apglo~Saxon intelligence and
whose wholesome provisions, un-
der the constitution and the dec
taxation of independence, had no
heed for other than Angle-Saxon
citizenry.
Vote for the Amendment,
~
The Rambler has never before
seen Republican office holders SO
active in their movements and so
earnest in their operations AZ now.
And when they used to pass poor
white men by and talk and con-
sort with negroes in preference,
they now ignore the "brother in
black altogether in public and
are very solicitous for the asso-
citation of poor white men-they
love the latter so much in these
latter days. They know that if
they can fool the poor white man
into voting against the Amend
ment this one time, the negro vote
can be saved to them for another
generation-and they care not
what happens after that.

people to get killed for less Of
Tense than this and since giving
the subject calm consideration we
are of the opinion that there are
people in the Asylum with more
sense than has this blue-coat Yam
kee. Even if we were in possession
of $500, and we have not had so
much money ia so many days,
does he think for a moment that
we would send it to him after
giving him the peas? The more
we think about the matter the
higher our temper rises. We feel
bad enough about losing the peas
and we expect we had better quit
writing about this subject, as we
might say something we would be
sorry for.
Xxx
The Rambler pities the person
who does not or cannot rise early
at least three-fourths of the year.
There may be some sort of ex-
cuse for sleeping late in the win
ter, when sc many mornings are
dark and murky, but in the
spring, the summer and the au-
tumn those who miss the early
hours of the day lose one of the
purest and most exhilarating joys
Of existence.
We have never had a lovelier
spring than hat which is now
fast merging into a summer that
promises an abundant yield of the
fruits of the earth. But what do
they know of the beauty and the
finest joy Of spring who do not
rise until the sun is high in the
heavens, the grass has lost it's
sparkling jewels of dew and the
flowers have begun to droop
under the two ardent kisses of
their celestial lover?
That part of the day which is
theirs may be pleasant, but in
comparison with the hours which
they miss it is poor and tawdry.
There is no refreshment so
wholesome as the sweet breath
of the young morning; no prep
aration for the task of the day
SO helpful as an early acquaint-
ance with it. Welcome each day
soon after it's arrival and you will
make a friend Of it. AS long as
it lasts it will attend you more
kindly and give you a fuller meas
ure of it's comfort and inspiration
if you greetit as it comes through
the glowing portals of the east.
Earth and sky are then decked in
a loneliness which both lose in the
latter hours, and even if it lin
gered you would lose it in the
rush and worry Of business.
The clouds that curtain the
morning with their feecy fabric
of rich and wonderful hues soon
fade into commonplace vapor Or
thicken into leaden gloom.
The early whispering of the
trees is finer music than the
louder rustic which they give
forth under the rude touches of
the wind. The birds sing no
songs like those with which they
celebrate the resurrection of the
light and the censor of the air
pours forth it's richest perfume
as it swings over the altar of the
new morning.
The youth of the day, like the
youth of man, is full Of Joy and
hope and courage.
Swap a few late hours for a
few of the next day and you will
make a happy exchange. Take
into your body and your soul the
tonic of the morning and you will
be stronger, better and happier
all day long.
Do not suffer from Neuralria. |

The ACCESSIBILITY of creating a

sissippi and thus creating a
waterway whose passage would
be sufficiently large for ocean
steamers, is being discussed
aud considered by the Chicago
Drainage Board. The scheme,
which is fathered by the United
States Engineer, James A. Sed-
Gen, is based upon the reservoir
plan, by the construction of which

said that the Mississippi floods
can be done away with, and in
The flood times sufficient water
can be stored in these reservoirs
to provide an unfailing flow of
water in the summer time, when
the river as a rule, becomes low.
The estimated cost Of the i'm

an annual outlay thereafter Of
49,, 100000, for keeping it up.
The plan has been examined by a

PINGREE ON THE STAND.
MichigaB's Governor TestiGes In the
Marsh EmbczzIement Trial.

LANSING, Mich, March 22.-Goyernor
Pingree was put on the stand today TO
testify in General Marsh's enlightenment
trial. He was asked to identify his sigma
ture to an official order dated on July IL
last, directing the military board to sell
the uniforms and supplies on hand. He
acknowledged that he signed the order
but pleaded that he had forgotten all
about it and that when he signed it he had
no idea of it's purpose or that the State
had on hand $50, 900 worth of uniforms ard
supplies which was sold for S10,JOO and
bought back at the higher price.
His admission made a sensation. 1t was
originally understood that General White
and General Marsh sold the property with
out any authority from the State or any
of it's officers. Governor Pingree seemed
to be as much taken back by the Droduc-
tion of the tell-ta order as was the de-
fence, but Judge Cahill of the prosecution,
saved him from embarrassment by remark
ing that nobody for a moment entertained
the faintest suspicion that Governor Pin
gree was at any time eognizant OF the pur-
pose of the conspiracy.
The order will have a strong bearing on
the case of Colonel Sutton. 1t is charged
that the order was written by Colonel SUIT
ton, who Is attached to the corporation
counsel's Office, and that he persuaded the
Governor to sign it as a matter OF detail
without acquainting him with its purpose.

pose.

questions which these gentlemen will dis

of Appeals for a mandamus. Judge Hanckel
saws the act appointing commissioners Of
valuation is unconstitutional. This is bas
ed on the contention that it Is measure

of all the members elected to the Senate
to pass il. which il did not have.
