The Southern Suffrage.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
read your recent editorial, "The Presi-
dent and the South" "Since the war; the
managers of the republican party have
been trying to develop the republican vote
in the south. Their efforts have been over
come by the white voters. No methods
have been too unlawful to use to keep a
solid south. The sentiment or southern
people is peculiar. They claim they were
glad the war ended as it did and yet teach
in their homes and schools that they were
right. and that the north took their ser
wants and left them in poverty and then
outraged them by giving colored people
rights of citizens The men are willing to
share the results of republican party
measures, but yet regard the party with
contempt.
So far nothing has been gained The
offices have been held, but no votes gained.
l do not know the loss, but In the seven
states where the colered vote is being sur
pressed there may be 5OO,OOO colored voters.
These loyal men the republican party
leaves without care or instruction TO thelr
political enemies. There are no republican
speakers, nor is republican reading matter
to be found generally, and the law winch
promises every man his rights and privil-
eyes is diSregarded alike Dy cracker ana
statesman.
1t is strange spectacle, the democratic
party disfranchising hundreds of thousands
of republican voters, while the repub-
ICdn party uOtS not SeeLi " CdACp oAo yCS
1t stands holding out offices to tempt prom
inent southern men to join the party. If
the party is ever built up in that way, the
colored vote must be eternally suppressed.
Let the republican party be just before 1T
is too late 1t can save votes, Sbut 1t
not hope to gain enough to be noticeable
by present methods.
1t would be a lasting blessing to the
south to have just elections and correct
representation in Congress. The best class
of northern men do not wish to live where
they have no political privileges or stand
ing. The colored people are disturbed by
the prospect and the sooner this matter Is
settled rightly the BETTER for all interested.

per cent syndicate expect to receive dur
ing the coming week about ~ cents on the
dollar for their claims. The trustee has
collected about $4,000 for the creditors.
This includes balances found in two or
three banks where Miller had run large ac-
counts, the cash seized by the police In the
raid on Miler's office, the selling price of
the Office effects and few securities found
in the office safe. There are more than
1900 claimants among whom to divide this
sum. They claimed $400. 600, but the court
cut down this sum. Individual claims run
from $5 to $1,000. and only about half of
those who had invested with Miller put in
a bid for reimbursement Belfer & Flash,
Brooklyn attorneys, represent 500, 600 of
the claims, Frank P. Dickey a like sum,
and Emanuel NJ. Friend about $20, 900. The
others are scattering.

ANOTHER MILITARY
BRIDE TO COME

Miss Bessie Patton, we'll known De
troit society girl, will pass through Ho'
nolulu on the transport Warren, er
route for the Philippines, where she
will marry Colonel Cornelius Gardener
former. commander of the Thirtietn
volunteer regiment, which was recruited
largely from Illinois and Michigan men
and for a time was stationed at Fort
Sheridan. Colonel Gardener is no"
governor of Tabayas province.
The engagement is a long-standlns
one, but owing to the recent death
of Miss Patton's father it has been
kept secret. 1t has been learned that
the wedding will take place on a gov
eminent packet in the harbor OF Md

DEACON BEFORE
THE FIRE COURT
He Was Also Carpenter and
Had -Four Canes Worth
$40 Apiece.

The court of fire claims is still consid-
ering the evidence of Hawahans. The
natives are the most tedious of any wit
nesses, and hardly a dozen claimants
nationalities the commission has been
able to dispose of hundred claims in
the same length of time.
One of the claimants yesterday was
the Rev. D. Kekoa, who was a car
penter as we'll as a deacon. His church
title did not save him from rigid
questioning on the part of the court,
and he would probably much rather
have gone through with the catechism.
Among the articles he had listed
were a lot of prayer books, and two lots
of covenants. He also had listed SIT
worth of jewelry, and nine holokus at
five dollars each.
In the list also was book of the
Pioneer Building Association at 65
cents.
why didn't you get a duplicate?'
asked the court.
81 did, replied the claimant, land
they charged me IS cents
In the list also was listed four canes
at $40 each.
Where did you buy them?' asked
the court.
II didn't buy them" replied the Rev.
Mr.. Kekoa, Il made them myself.
How do you fix their value at ten
dollars apiece?"
Il paid five dollars for the wood and
turned them myself. My labor 1 con-
slider to be worth that much, and /
could sell them for ten dollars

these goods placed at the selling price"
NO, sir"
Kekoa was the last claimant of the
afternoon and court adjourned until
this morning.

and much surprise to the officers of the
court, A, A. Pullen, who on Tuesday
was convicted of the illegal sale of
whisky, but who disappeared before
sentence could be passed upon him,
gave himself up to City Court Sheriff
John D. Prince.
At noon Judge John S. Adams pro-
ceeded to pass sentence upon him. Be
fore this was done a petition was pre-
sented from a number of the citizens
Of Brewton, asking that leniency be
shown. The Baptist minister Of Brew
ton, the prisoners attorney and several
friends, asked the court to be as light
on him as possible. Judge Adams
thought that a heavy sentence was
necessary and fined Pullen $500 and
costs or twelve months on the county
chaingang. Pullen could not pay the
nne and is now in Jail His case will
not be appealed to the Supreme Court,
but if possible his friends win pay him

be made to get the fine reduced. There
are five other cases against Pullen,

SOLICITOR WILL GET HIS FEES.
LasIinger Will Get 50 for Each Ac'

- Valdosta, Ca, Sept. IAN Interest,"
ing case in law was decided by Judge
Hansell at Thomasville yesterday. The
case was a mandanus proceeding
brought by the former solicitor of the
County Court of Berrien, Col. IL. T..
Lastinger, against the judge of that
court, Col H. B. Peoples, to recover
costs alleged to be due the solicitor IN
a number of cases.
The solicitor claimed that he should
get a fee of SIS on each criminal accu-
sation drawn by him, but the Judge
held differently. There were 166 cases
of this kind during the two years that
Solicitor Lastinger served, so the case
involved $3.50. After hearing all OF the
arguments in the case, Judge HanseH
decided that the solicitor was clearly
entitled to the sum and an order was
issued directing the County Commits
s.oners to audit his claim, so that It
might be paid out of the County Court
fund, or insoivent costs. -a
