The Poll Tax Amendment.

Commenting on the poll tax amend
ment submitted at yesterdays election
the Jackson News says:
The most interesting fact brought
out by The Herald correspondent is
that the gains and losses come so near
balancing. For instance the white
counties" gain s27,495.27, while the
"black counties" lose 27,326O2. The
smallest loss is CD cents, in Kemper;
the largest loss is s., 225.96 in Washing
ton.
1t was the theory of this amendment
that the gains would all be with the
white counties" and the losses among
"the black" But in application the
presumption fails. OF the 1000 total
gained, $500 goes to twenty black
counties and separate districts. And
of the losses, 1890 falls to twenty five
white counties and districts. Thus the
net gains to the white counties are less
than $4,000, instead of 81 $40.

THE DOOMED MAN.
ny REv. JOSEPH ADDISON ALExASDKR.

ny REv. JOSEPH ADDISON ALEXANDER
There Is a time, we know not when.
point we know not where.
Which marks the destinies OF men
To glory or despair.
There is line by us unseen
Which crosses every path,
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience and His wrath.
To cross that limit is to die,
To die as II by stealth.
IL does not quench the burning eye
OR pale the glowof health.
The conscience still may be at ease,
The spirits light and gay;
That which is pleasing, still may please
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God has set
Indelibly His mark
Unseen by man, for man as yet
Is blind and in the dark.
And yet the doomed mans path below
May bloom as Eden bloomed.
He did not. does not, will not know
Nor feel that he is doomed.
lie knows. he feels, that all is well.
And every fear is Gained.
He sleeps. he dies, awakes in Hell,
Not only doomed, but damned.
All. where is this mysterious bourne,
BY which our paths are crossed.
Beyond which God Himself has sworn
That he who goes is lost ?
How long may we 90 on In sin,
How long will God forbear?
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?
An answer from the skies is sent
Ye who from God depart
While it is still today-repent,
And harden not your heart.

OF RAILROADS
Prompt Assistance Rendered by
Them at Galveston.

The popular belief that large corpo-
rations are relentless under all circum-
stances where profits are at stake, has
received gratifying ''shock" in so far
as the attitude of the railroads since
the Galveston storm is concerned, as
the following will show:
Morning Post, Raleigh, N. c.: The
Concord Tribune says:
1--WE have all heard great deal
about the corporations being Soulless.
This may be true They are at least
stern business institutions. What we
want to say is that when a disaster of
the Galveston nature comes the people
are absolutely at the mercy of the cor
porations, and in a measure look to
them for relief. Just now the railroad,
express and telegraph companies are
doing no little toward the relief of the
Galveston sufferers, and deserve due
credit for what they are doing. It's
true they have large business interests
there, and suffer from a financial
standpoint, but it is due these compa-
MES, soul or no soul, to say they can
and do do great good when there is
suffering to be relieved"
This is true and just. But for the
prompt generosity of these corpora
lions in such emergencies, the suffer
ing would be multiplied many fold.
And it is not only the promptness with
which they respond, but the free trans
portation of supplies and all things
necessary to alleviate the suffering,
whether provided by governmental or
individual charity, that deserves COM
mendation. 1t costs as much to run
trains for such occasions as it does to
run similar trains for profit. Yet there
is not railroad company or an ex-
press or telegraph company in the land
that would not be and has not been
prompt to render every such service
that the emergency could call for with
out price. When the Philadelphia
Press intimated the other day that it
had nurses and medical supplies and "a
trainload of provisions for Galveston,
these things had scracely been gath
cred together before the Southern had
its train of cars and comfortable
coaches at the Quaker City depot, and
so soon as all could be loaded and got
ten aboard was speeding through the
South, with absolute right of-way of
Crackage, on us mission OF mercy. IL
is due to say that either of the other
great systems reaching into the South
would have cheerfully performed the
same service to the extent of its sys-
tenn.
Yet these great instrumentalities of
charity, as we'll as of enterprise, are
the objects of special assault and OPP
preston by the little souls who consti-
tute the demagogue element of society.
When these corporations are not cut
down in their traffic receipts to the
lowest limit, they are singled out for
unusual and unequal tax
alton, thus cutting them both ways.
And if they object to being thus rob
bed, they are held up constantly as en-
emies of the people.
Honest people are fast learning to
place the proper estimate upon the
vicious and ambitious demagogues and
to appreciate and to protect in all
things that are just, these great agen-
cies of good as we'll as of material de-
velopment.- Orleans "Times-Dem-
Ocrdt"

Miss Lizzie Lection, of Oxford, Miss,
a grass widow, has brought suit against
Senator w. v. Sullivan, of this State
for $4,000 for breach of promise
The suit was filed at Washington, and
the grounds alleged recall the odifer-
Gus Breckenridge scandal of few
years ago. This is not the first time
Senator Sullivan's name has been as
ISOLATED with disreputable matters of
this nature, and if half the Lection wo
man alleges be found true, like Brecken-
ridge, he should be permanently re-
tired to private life. Such a man is
not At to represent Mississippi.

How Many To Elect.

1t is interesting to figure on how
many votes it will take to elect oul
next congressman. A presidential yeal
always calls out a large vote, and there
certainly will not be less than clever
thousand in Nevada this fall.
The vote for governor two yeas age
was ten thousand and eleven. There
has been an increase since then.
Young men are coming on to vote, 2
number Of new enterprises have beer
started that give employment to new
men, and others that stayed away from
the polls two years ago will come oui
to vote for president.
Thus the congressman will have to
receive at least $500 votes. These
figures will not be very pleasing to Mr..
Newlands. He certainly polled his
maximum strength two years ago. A
that election he received but 5.796.
Even his best friends admit that he
has lost since that time. 1t is moi
known that a single nan who 1oted
against him two years will vote for him
this time. He has not a single new
supporter and there are none for him
to win.
On the contrary a great many Silver
party men win vote for Harrington or
account Of Newlands' bad faith two
years ago. 1t is q certainty that these
will number more than 2o7. enough tc
ose him the election. In fact the de-
lfection will number several times that
Two years ago there was practically
no organized opposition TO Newlands
Now he confronts a strong opposition.
At last the people have awakened and
will send 4 Nevadan to Congress.

APPEALS 10 COwARDICE.

The Richmond Times has always
been thoroughly southern. That means
that it has always been an uDcompro-
missing Democratic paper. But it is
evidently disgusted with the para
mount issue of its party this year. 1t
says:
"Mr. Bryan has at least made this
much plain. Anti-imperialism means
for one thing that we are to surrender
all rights that we have acquired in the
Philippines and that we are to have
absolutely nothing whatever to do with
the government of those islands in the
future. In view of the immense and
unexpected sacrifices which the United
States has made in acquiring the Phil
ippines, it remains to be seen how pop
ular Mr.. Bryan's grand policy will be
with the American people,"
After the election is over and MIR.
Bryan will be left with nothing but
the fragments of an organization
around him, it will be delicious to lis
ten to those fiery southern papers,
such as the Richmond Times the At
lanta Constitution, the Courier-J ournal
and score of others, and hear the
chorus that they will awaken in denun-
citation of the emasculated policy which
swept their party into the attitude Of
men who, for the sake of trying to win
honoring of our flag, and made appeals
to the cowardice and the low prejudice
of our people.-Salt Lake Tribune.
