In this they show that they have
no reasonable opinion of the intel
ligence and good sense of the white
men Of North Carolina.
The amendment contains two lead
ing ideas: First. that the qualifica-
tion for suffrage shall be an educa-
tional test. ability to read and write
Secand. that this test shall not
apply to any person who could vote
in 1867. or any time prior thereto, or

Steamer Republic Returns,

The steamer Republic, for years the
pride of the Delaware River until 1899.
when she was taken to New York and
placed in service between that city and
Long Branch, has returned to the
Delaware, and in a few weeks, thorough
~ overhauIed and improved, and nn-
der new management, will resume her
daily trips between Philadelphia and
Cape May.
The Republic was the conception Of
Captain Jonathan Cone, c a well.
known Delaware River steamboat cap
tain and father of the present Captain
l.. III. Cone, one of the new owners. She
was launched from the Harlan & Hol-
liugsworth yards, at Wilmington, DEL,
in 1878, and at that time was considered
n of the largest, handsomest and fast
est river boats in the country. For a
period of about ten years she was Oper.
ated by the Bay and Ocean Steamship
Company, of which Captain Cone was
the first president, and finally passed
into the hands of the Delaware Bay and
Cape May Navigation Company, which
continued her in the service until 1899,
when she was transferred to New York.
Subsequently the boat passed into the
possession of the First National Bank
of Philadelphia, which in turn sold her
last week to the Well-known Delaware
River men and capitalists: Captain T..
IL. Cone and Walter E. Graham. of
Philadelphia; Horace Wilson, manager
of the Wilmington Steamboat Com
pany; Frank f. Bell, of Bristol; Thorn
as q. Earle. Trenton; Samuel w. Croft.
Bristol, and James Harris, Philadel.
phIa. These gentlemen will take out a
chart this week in New Jersey and or
game a new company, which will oper-
ate the boat.
The boat, which was tied up since the
close OF last season at Communipaw.
was brought around to Philadelphia
during last Saturday and Sunday by
Captain l.. II. Cone, arriving at Chest
nut street wharf at 8 o'clock last Satur-
day evening.
On Monday morning she was taken
to the yard of her builders, at Whining
ton, and will be given a complete over.
hauling before resuming her daily sum-
mel trips, which will be about June Is.
In the meantime the landing pier at
Cape May Point, which was washed
away in the winter of 1898 SO, will be
rebuilt.

Fate Of the Salmon.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The catch of salmon in Canadian
waters last year was valued at $500,
306, a decrease of s., 32O, 1868 when com.
pared with the returns of the previous
year. The decrease is so great as to
suggest that in spite Of all that is being
done to replenish the supply of salmon,
1t, like the lobster of the Atlantic coast
and the seal of Alaskan waters, is
doomed to extinction within a few
years. The salmon has been driven
further and further north with the ad-
vance of civilization. It was formerly
exceedingly abundant in all the rivers
Of the Atlantic slope north of the Poto.
mac, but was killed by overfishing and
other causes, until now it is practically
unknown in that region. The fish now
remain only in Canadian waters and in
Oregon. The supply in the Pacific
coast region seem inexhanstible only
ten years ago. Then it was not I'M
common for the rivers to be choked
with the multitndes of ascending fish.
Canneries were established and fish
were caught in enormous quantities,
canned and shipped to all parts of the
world. The fish vert caught by means
Of q device called the fish wheel, which
threw the fish ashore in shoals, and per-
mitted hardly n to escape. A stop
was put to this when the supply began
to show signs of diminution, and then
the Government began to hatch the
salmon, but the Matching stations have
not been able to make amends for the
waste Of . few years ago.

The ancient believed that rheumatism
was the work Of demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack O sciatic or
infammatory rheumatism will agree that
the in1iction is demoniac enough to war
rantthe belief. It has never been claimed
that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast

and hundreds bear testimony to the truth
ofthis statement One application relieves

USE OF MONEY IN CAMPAIGNS.
Baltimore American.


1t is doubtful if there has ever been a more
thorough canvass of the voters than during the
campaign which eliminates today. There has
been much wild talk of the profuse expendi-
ture of money, but it is safe to say that those
who give currency to such rumors do not know
whereof they speak. He would be queer sort
of political manager who would blurt out the
secrets of the campaign to every conner. These
rumors of the corrupt use of money are heard
in every political campaign. Money, as much as
can be obtained, is used by both parties in cam
ted to be- and it is generally used for the legiti
mate purposes of a campaign.
If anyone will consider what the legitimate
EXPENSES are he will readily understand that
they absorb all the money that can be raised, and
would absorb much more If it could be had. The
literature of a campaign and the cost of dis
tributing it represent an enormous expenditure
of money. The pay and expenses of speakers is
very heavy item; The speakers are an army
in themselves. The object is to cover every
town and county in every state of the Union,
which requires thousands of orators. The hire
of the halls for meetings is another legitimate
expense, and very large one. The great meet
ings in the large halls are those which attract
attention, but the multitude of little meetings
in small halls are much more potent means of
te-getting.
Organizing the voters into clubs is one of the
legitimate expenses of campaign 1t is per-
haps, the most efficacious work of all. Concen-
tration is as necessary in political as in mill
tary campaign, and these clubs concentrate the
voters and enable them to bring the cumulative
strength of numbers and influence upon the
sentiment of the community. Among the minor
legitimate expenses of campaign are banners,
torches, buttons and the like, which, in the ag
gregate absorb considerable sum of money.
When all these expenses have been met, there Is
not apt to be much left for corruption. The
popular notion about buying men is altogether
erroneous Votes are probably bought at all
elections when the contest is close and exciting,
but very few votes are purchasable. The poor
man is not bit more likely to sell his vote than
the rich man. There are a few ne'er-do-wells or
vagabonds whose votes can be purchased there
are scarcely enough of them to justify the risk
of buying them.

Smallest Fireman in the World.


The fact that one of the greatest battles of the
civil war was fought in and around this beauti-
full little place is not the only claim to distinc
ton which the town has. 1t is also the home of
Daniel A. SELL otherwise known as Danny the
Fireman" who is probably the smallest regular
member of a fire company in the world. Danny
is feet inches in height and was born near
Littlestown, this county, in 1910, and has never
lived outside of the county in the sixty odd years
of his life. Shortly after Sells arrival in this
place. about eight years ago, people began MOTTO
ing what an interest he took in all kinds of fires
So when one day prominent member of the
volunteer fire department, No. !. of this place,
proposed to make him member of the company
the proposal was not only unanimously accep-
ted, but Danny was elected vice president of the
company. Since that time he has taken an active
part in eXtinguishing several of our largest fires
Sell several years ago took part in the firemen's
parade at Reading, where he received a badge
for being the smallest fireman in this State and
won prize of 500 cigars for the home company.
He afterwards took part in the firemens parade
at Waynesboro' and at Columbia, receiving
badges at both places.

Trouble over Jury Service.

DUtJWIOTe 1T71eTICJNT.
Mr.. S. d. Miller, who has an Office in the Equi-
table Building, was given severe lecture yes
terday by Judge Stockbridge in connection with
jury service. Mr.. George K. Diffenderfer,
salesman employed by Mr.. Miller, had been
summoned for prospective service as juror,
and Judge Stockbridge was handed letter,
written by Mr.. Miller, the purport of which the
Judge construed to mean that if Mr.. Offender
fer was obliged to serve as juror he would lose
his position. Court Bailiff Barber was immedi-
and when Mr.. Miller arrived he was asked
whether he wrote the letter, which constituted
a contempt of court. Mr.. Miller made an expa-
nation, which tended to somewhat modify the
language of the letter, and, at the same time, to
mollify the court, so that the result was as
above. When Judge Stockbridge received the
letter he was manifestly highly indignant.
Judge Stockbridge at the close of the interview
placed Mr. Miller's name in the wheel" and
Mr.. Miller may soon be called upon himself to do
jury duty. Mr.. Diffenderfer was excused from
service for the time being
