NO "NEGRO PROBLEM" IN GEORGIA.

DECLARES

.
Washington, June Ex-senator Clay of Georgia
declares that there is negro political problem
in his State. This announcement is in such strik
ing contrast with statements the same subject
made bv nearly all other Southern Democrats that
il has excited much interest in Washington. 1t is
all the more remarkable in view of the fact that
Senator Clay sOon Is TO go before the people of
Georgia for reelection.
MY statement may sound strange because OF the
practical disfranchsement Of the in nearly
all the Southern States" said Senator Clay to-day
but il does not sound strange Georgians. The
question of restricting the blacks any than
the whites In the exercise OF the franchise privilege

old white and black alike. who pays all his taxes
including a poll tax of 81. ten days before Election
Day, is entitled to vote the ticket of his choice
provided of that he possesses the qualifca-
tionS prescribed by law which that he shall
have been a citizen OF the State at least one year
and OF the county in which he least six
months, and that he has not been convicted of q
crime. We estimate that the taxpaying qualifca-
tion disquahes about 20 per of the black vote
with this disfranchisement, the negroes usua y
more than fifty thousand votes and the whites
about three hundred thousand. The poll tax is ap-
piled to educational purposes and the negroes
share equally with the whites I'm public school

bones.
Butte, Jan. 21.-Two physicians en-
gagged in row that might have re-
suited in the death OF one, at Rich
ards undertaking rooms shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock last evening, had it not
been for the prompt interference Of
Deputy Sheriff Rowe. It occurred dur
ing the progress of the inquest on the
cause of the death of Alexander Q.
Thompson, who died few days ago,
from wounds inflicted by John o.
Brien in saloon fight. DR.. H. NJ
Hall attacked DR.. Clarkson with a
pocket knife and inflicted painful
wound on the side of the nose. It is
not dangerous, but the physician will
probably be marked for life. DR.. Hall
was taken to the county jail, but sub
sequently released on bail. The diff
ficulty was the result of charges as to
whether Thompsons wound by o.
Brien had been properly treated.
First by DR.. Hall. and subsequently
by Drs. Hanson and Clarkson. Thomp-
son was the man who was stabbed,
and did not know that he was hurt un-
til he undressed for bed several hours
later. The verdict of the coroner's
jury tonight was that Thompson came
to his death from the effects of a
knife wound inflicted by John O'Brien,
but whether it was the wound or sur
gical operation that killed him will
have to be determined in the district
court.

it would have chance of gong
