UNFAIR INFERENCE.

The Richmond News, which has hereto
fore been discussing the constitutional con
venton question in rather fair way, con,
sidering that it is strict party organ, has
given an unfair construction to a recent
address issued by Park Agnew, State
Chairman of the Republican party. The
address of Mr.. Agnew is as follows.
"Our State convention, at Norfolk,
spoke in plain terms against COnstitu-
tional Convention, and l urgently request
every Republican voter in the State to
cast his ballot against a convention.
Section of the bill is rs follows A
ballot deposited with the words, For
Constitutional Convention" printed theron
shall be vote for a convention, and
ballot deposited with the words 'For Con-
stltutional Convention" erased or stricken
our shall be vote against convention.
See that your ballots are prepared as di
rected above, by striking out "FOr Consti-
tutional Convention" and adding nothing
thereto, as any addition or change will
produce defaced ballot, and cause it to
be thrown out by the election officers.
Let every Republican voter get to the
polls on the oath of May, 1900, and snow
the attempted outrage under.
Owing to the shortness of time to the
date OF the election, it was impossible to
convene the committee, and have, there
fore, issued this call, as l deem it a matter
Of urgent necessity"
The News, in an editorial, headed, "Bad
Advice to Negroes" commenting on the
above call gays
"rhe Republicans of this State, through
Park Agnew, chairman, have issued a call
to members of their party to vote against
the Constitutional Convention. The truth
is the convention and the removal of the
mass of the negro vote from politics will be
the best thing that has been done for the
negro himself"
The News then proceeds to read the
negroes a lesson about the uselessness of
them trying to govern Virginia, and treats
Mr.. Agnew's call to the Republicans of
Virginia as being addressed to negroes
only. The News very recently had very
different view of the negro as a factor in
Virginia politics and Of the Republican op.
position in the State. In an editorial
1.-The Constitutional Convention" pub.
lished April Goth, 1900, the News said
"The Democratic party of Virginia to-
day stands in absolute possession of every
department of our State, county and mu.
nicipal governments. 1t has scarcely an
organized and representative foe in the
field. The opposition which threatens it
is to be found, not as in the old days in
the negro counties, BUT IN THE WHITE SEC
TIoNs OF THE STATE"
From this declaration of the News,
which is true declaration, the Democracy
has already removed the mass of the
negro vote from politics, and it is now its
to remove a large mass of the
white vote in those sections of the State
which now threaten serious opposition to
the Democracy The object of the con-
yention is to disfranchise the illiterate and |
poor white men of the State.

OUR Democratic contemporaries in Nlr-
ginia, at least some of them, are warmly
advocating a repeal of the Fifteenth
amendment to the Federal Constitution,
and are insisting that its repeal will settle
the race question. What will they do about
the Fourteenth amendment Are they
willing to have the negro disfrapchised
and to have the representation Of the
South in the House of Representatives re.
duced as provided for in section . Of the
Fourteenth amendment?

TIE Democratic Machine says it is not
in favor of DISTINGUISHING the white voters
and is in favor of submitting the new
constitution to the people for ratification.
Believe neither of these professions. If
the Machine gets the opportunity to
make a new constitution it will disfran-
chise the poor, iliterate white man as
well as the black man, and will not give
the men it is seeking to despoil Of their
rights an opportunity to vote against the
constitution which will be made to rob
them.

The Lynchburg News says "Unre-
stricted suffrage has produced species Of
corruption at elections which is daily
threatening the white people OF Virginia
with a TYRANNY as insu1erable and exas-
perating as any that ever held any State
of the Union" Unrestricted suffrage has
not produced it, but the unrestricted pas
sion of the white Democracy for office and
power.

The Canadians will soon di patch to the
disputed Porcupine district a man of extras

affairs. 1t is gathered that he will perhaps
have in addition to other duties those of
the settlement of disputes as to the claims
staked in the disputed creeks which were

The news of the coming of the new Off
cial is given in the following special to the
Post Inteligencer from Victoria.
The final sitting of the British Columbia
legislature for this week was marked BY
the most important announcement vet
vouchsafed by the government. Intima
ii was made by the encouragement
that, on the 18TH inst, Justice Martin
would be dispatched as special commits
sioner to inquire into the disputes which
have arisen incident to the transfer of
portion of the Porcupine district from the
United States to British control.
His authority will be practically abso-
Lutte, and more largely discretionary than Is
the case in the ordinary administration of
justice. Most of the claims in the district
mentioned were staked under the provis-
ions of the Alaskan law, and this will fur.
ther complioate the disputes ordinarily
arising through claim jumping. The gov
eminent was fortified in its course by let
ter from Gold Commissioner Graham. who
was dispatched to the district upon mo-
dus vivendl being reached between the
Canadian and the United States commits
sioners.

Leader Working to Reconcile
Long Warning Alaskans.
BIG GATHERING CALLED
Chief Kodowatt Working to Termi-
nate Mt Haines IA Bloody Fued
That Has Existed For Centuries
Between the Wrangels and Sitkas

A great potlatch ard peace making at
tempt is to be held at the Indian village of
Klukwan. on the Dalton trail, September
10. Chief Kodowatt is to give the pot
latch and to be king pin in the other move
ments connected with the affair. Great
stocks of white mems food clasSed by the
aboriginies of the region as delicacieS are
being SCI into Klukwan in preparation for
the grand event.
Kodowatt will endeavor to settle, during
the potlatch, feud that has existed
among the warning tribes of the Indians of
the district for generations and for centuries
1t is between the Wrangels and Sitkas that
he will attempt to bear the olive branch.
j. IA. Bankenburg, business man of
Haines, tells the story as follows:
"Ihis celebration, kodowatt says, is to
be the last Of the kind. He has issued in
vitatons to the Wrangels and the Sitkas
to join, and it is his purpose to unite them
after their long alienation, in bonds of love
and friendship, and to have the Ratchet
buried forever To this end the old fellow
is bending his energies, and declares this
is to be the last great potlatch, and that
after it the Indians shall be good and live
as the white man, and peace shall reign
among the tribes.
"The trouble between the Wrangels and
the Sitkas began Goo years ago at big
feast held at Wrangel. The Sitkas had
been invited by the Wrangels and were
present. The WrangelS proceeded to give
their guests jolly time. Before long all
were so iubilant that free for-aIl fight re-
suited, and when it was over only few of
the Sitkas had escaped alive. Then the
incensed Sitkans thrsted for the blood of
revenge, and they got it. Feuds resulted,
and fights prevailed. AT last the Sitkans
showed friendly spirit and invited the

Bennett.

The British Columbia government has
decided not to grant franchise tor the
construction of railroad from the Chill
koot summit to Lake Bennett. 1t so an
nounced to the committee having the APP
plication for the franchise in charge. In
so announcing, the reasons given were that
it was the policy of the Ottawa govern
ment to not grant any more franchises for
roads terminating in territory in the pos
session of the United States. The decis-
ion applies to the application for the Chill
kat pass as we'll as the Chilkoot.
The news of was contained in Victoria
papers arriving on the Tees yesterday, and
was confirmed by N. P. Shaw who is d-
recty from Victoria
The promoter of the various Chilkoot
roads and the officers of the Lynn Canal
Shore Line say the refusal will not in any
way interfere with the construction OF a
line of railroad from Skagwav to Lake
Bennett

plicant for the franchise that has been de-

They got their guests into large building
and as the mirth increased and good cheer

Before the Wranges knew it the Sltkans

Then the Sitkans set fire to the building,
and, to make the story short, the Wrangels
were cremated. That was perhaps an huns
bred years ago, but enough of the Wran-
gels had STAYED at home to prolong the
feud, and still the fires of enmitv burn,
