TOM L. JoHNsoN's INVENTION.

From the Louisville Courier-Jo Journal.
 Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland and brother of Albert Johnson, the Met ropolitan street railway promoter, who died near New York on Tuesday night, is said to be still drawing royalty of $1, ,2OC a year from the Louisville Street Railway Company for the use of his patent carfare collection box with its inclined run aways and glass compartments. The box bears Tom Johnson's name and gives the date of the patent as 1S73 That was when the Cleveland mayor was superintendent of the Louisville street railway under B. DuPont. Strangers in Louisville never cease to find the custom of collecting fares in this manner amusing.
 Doesn't the company lose by the dis honesty of passengers?" is asked. And another will inquire how the poor motor man can watch both ends without missing fare in the rear or killing some one in front. But the motorman does 1t, and the people are honest even in a crowded car. It speaks well for Louisville. The com pany that tried such system in Chicago or New York would be making assess ments on the stockholders in less than q year.

Senator Pettus' Position.

When Senator Pettus, living in the heart of the Black Belt, raises his voice against the grandfather clause it would seem to be time for the Cole manites to call halt.
 "If I were delegate in the constitu tional convention" says Senator Pet tus, 'I should vote against the grand father clause"
 The frankness and rugged honesty of the veteran statesman are well known. Both the Senators of the State are now on record as opponents of the clause that Chairman Coleman has reported. Neither of them speaks from impulses of the moment, but both speak from studies made when Louis jana adopted heredity as suffrage test, and both say 1t is unwise.
 Senator Pettus does not favor, it is plain, the registration sections of the committee report, for he frankly says he is fin favor of the people of every beat controlling their own affairs in every possible or practicable particu lar. The people themselves know best what they want"
 This is home rule, which is the very essence of popular government. Sena tor Pettus did not enter into particu lars, but his broad declaration in favor of home rule condemns the appoint ment at Montgomery of registrars foI the sixty-six counties of the State, and it also is an endorsement of local taxa tion for schools.

 .sThe site Is in Laurel street, facing Monroe Park-a fashionable section--and is valued at s75,000. It is estimated that the cathedral decorated and furnished. together with the episcopal residence, will cost at least a half-million dollars. and MT. Ryan offers to pay all the bills. MT. Ryan's wife has already been most gen. erous in her gifts to the Catholics of the Richmond diocese. She has recently com pleted a church at cost of $S5,0OO and a parochial school at a cost of sS5,0Oo, and has donated s25, 600 to $3o.Oo0 for other Catholic causes.''

Louisiana Test Case.

A case has been made up and pre- sented to the civil district court of New Orleans by a negro, and eminent counsel has been engaged, both in New Orleans and in Washington, where the case is to go.
 The plaintiff sets forth in his peti- tion that he was refused registration He admits that neither his father nor his grandfather were entitled to vote under the constitution and laws of the State where they then resided on the first day of January, 1867, and he goes on to state that the Louisiana consti- tuition deprives him of rights confer red by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments of the constitution of the United States. Armand Romain, we'll known lawyer of New Orleans, ap- pears for the plaintiff or relator, whose name is David J. Ryanes. The suit is in the form of a mandamus pro- ceeding against the registrars, who had refused to register Ryanes.
 The petition is lengthy. We give in full the real substance of the case, as follows:
 "First-That said article 197 of the con- :. atitution and said sections 3. and 5 dhereuf, as we'll as the act of the legis- lature passed in pursuance thereof, col actively constitute one unlawful plan of suffrage qualification based upon discrm- ination on account of race, color or pre- vious condition of servitude, and is, there fore, in violation of the fifteenth amend ment of the federal constitution.
 'Second-That said article 197 of the constitution and the various sections thereof, as well as the sections of act No. 199 of 1898, were intended to affect poor and ignorant negroes only, and act negroes, situated similarly to the relator herein, thereby denying to said poor and ignorant negroes the equal protection of the laws to which they are entitled. and, therefore, the said article and the said sections, collectively and separately. are in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States.
 sYour relator now specially alleges that under the authority of the said fourteenth and fifteen amendments to the constitu-

ton of the United States, the protection of which he now invokes he is entitled to be registered as a qualified voter of the Ninth precinct of the Eleventh ward of the parish of Orleans, and that the duty of the said Jeremiah NJ. Gleason, registrar of voters. defendant herein, is clearly a simple ministerial duty, and that the said relator is entitled to certificate of regis tration from the defendant herein.
 This brings the grandfather clause and the entire suffrage scheme of Louisiana into court, and the court in which the case will be finally heard and determined consists of six Republi- cans and three Democrats. sitting far from the scene of the alleged offense, and wholly insensible to the reasons that led to it's adoption. The case will be fully presented to this far-away court. This much Is assured, for the money needed has been raised, and eminent counsel will present the case of the iIliterate negro, who is but tool of the strong association formed to test the constitutionality of the suf- frage article of the Louisiana consti- tuition, and through it, of like article of the North Carolina constitution, and, if the committee's scheme goes through, of the suffrage article of the Alapama constitution also. On their face none of them discriminate against negroes, but what the Supreme Court will decide is fully as problematical as the insular cases were. Out of its nine members only one is Southern by birth or association, Justice White of Louis jana. Justice Harlan lives on the Ken lucky side of the Ohio river, but he is a Republican. The other seven jus tices are men of Northern training, associations and ideas. The case goes for decision to adverse hands.

Senator Moraan,s Position

The Mobile Heralds assault upon Senator Morgan is farfetched and un- called for. Senator Morgan thinks a suffrage system based on inherited privilege is out of place in a popular government, and the Herald attacks Alabama's great Senator in these words:
 "As for heredity, white supremacy and white rule in the South rest on heredity, on the right of white men to rule and govern a country that white men settled, and for which white men fought and bled. If white supremacy in the South does not rest on our descent from great and conquering race, on what does 1t rest ? We think the Senator had best leave fine spun theories, and get down to prac- tical common sense."
 This is rot of the veriest sort. Sen ator Morgan does not discuss nor dis pute white supremacy. That ques- tion is not an open one. What Senator Morgan objects to is discrim- ination among whites. All unjust dis crlminations against whites are or should be foreign to a government based on the consent of the governed. Senator Morgan sees, for example, two white families living side by side, both alike poor in literature and in this worlds goods. The head of one, how. ever, is the son of soldier, although he himself never smelt hostile gunpow- der. Now, why should the head of one of these families be granted electoral privileges for life, while the head of the other family is forever disfran- chised!
 This is what Senator Morgan objects to. The question of white supremacy exists only in the Heralds distorted brain.

Oamaoe to Corn Crop.

So great has been the damage by drought and heat to the corn crop of the chief corn States that the prices of the granger railroad stocks have been greatly depreciated, and the entire stock market brought to the verge of a panic. Strong measures were taken by the banks ana capitalists, and a panic was averted.
 The scorching winds of the last ten days have seriously damaged the corn crop of all the great corn States, and .-.is damage has been peculiarly heavy in Kansas and Missouri. The Kansas crop. which had promised an outturn of 247,000,000 bushels, will not, it is reported, exceed 100,000000 bushels, and some experts put the crop of that corn to sell, and the crops in Arkansas and Texas are greatly injured. In Hi nois, Iowa and Nebraska the damage has thus far been light, but there are apprehensions even as to those States.
 It is hoped. however, that these re- ports are exaggerated. If relief comes at once in rains and cooler weather, they will certainly prove over-estim- ates. On July 1 the Department of Agriculture anticipated a crop of D. I 09s, 100000 bushels, or a crop well up to that of last year. The corn acreage is conceded to be less than it was last year, and if besides that has come damage by scorching winds to the ex- Stent reported the loss to the country will be very heavy. Some put it as 'rh as $35o 100000.
 last years exports of corn were { 209, 100000 bushels, and there are doubts as to weCner any amount can be spared this year for export. But even if none can be, the wheat crop will fill the gap, for crop of 700,000,- 900 bushels is now anticipated. The crops of all Europe nearly are very deficient. Some observers say Russia will export one from this years wheat crop. Only Spain and Italy have good wheat crops, and their productions are relatively small. Europe will need all the wheat we can spare, and we have great crop, and if the corn crop is cor respondingly injured, wheat will have to take the place of corn in exports this year. The wheat crop is beyond even the extreme northwest.

KING EDWARD AT A JEWEL SALE

From the New York Herald.
 London, Wednesday.-Some rare jewels and goms, the property of French lady of rank, whose name was not given, realized remarkably high prices at Chris ties rooms yesterday.
 Among those who viewed the jewels were His Majesty. the King Lord Nor ton. Lord Bradford, Lady Leconfield, Lady Gosfort. Lord Currie. Sir Samuel Montagu and Sir James Blyth with many others.

 The pearls were of the highest quality and had a circular open clasp set with emeralds and small brilliants and fine, large rose diamond in the center.
 The weight in the pearls was about 4O50 grammes.

 Next in importance was a beautiful rope of 2a4 graduated pearls. fine Orient, which was secured by MT. E. J. Arbid for fS150 (s15. .75o)

The purchaser was MT. Wilson.
 The toatl proceeds of the sale were 3S,S79 lis ($194, S9775)

TOO LATE.

From the Housekeeper. What silences we keep year after year With those who are most near to us and
 dear; We live beside each other day by day. And speak of myriad things, but seldom
 say
 The full sweet word that lies just in our
 reach, Beneath the commonplace of common
 speech. Then out of sight and out of reach they These close. familiar friends who loved
 us sol And sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone with loneliness and sore bereft, We think, with vain regret, of some fond That once we might have said and they
 have heard For weak and poor the love that we ex-
 pressed Now seems, beside the vast sweet uncon-
 fessed; And slight the deeds we did to those un-
 done; And small the service spent to treasure And undeserved the praise for word and That should have overhowed the simple
 need. 4 This is the cruel cross of life, to be Full-visioned only when the ministry Of death has been fulfilled. and in the
 place z Of some dear presence is but empty spaced What recollccted services can then Give consolation for the might n

TABLESPOONS or A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Some people gamble in love on mighty small margin.
 The only successful way woman can chase man Is for him to chase her.
 Romantic love has been put away in camphor along with the rest of our grand mothers things.
 Boys could grow up to be pretty sensi- ble. on the average, If their mothers didn't have such queer notions about what boy ought not to be.
 A man can grind himself to thne powder doing things for woman, but, unless he tells her about 1t she doesn't tNxe any stock in 1t. and If he tells her About 1t he needn't do any grinding. '

From the Boston Record.
 Carnegie reports s2S.oOo,oOo more to give away. It sounds magnificent. But how much more real good 1t would have done this country if Carnegie had been readier to pay his men larger wages and let them work fewer hours. To be sure, he might not have had within $10,0000O0 so great a fund as he is now ready to give away; but how much more happiness. progress, health, and development there would have been among the hundreds of families that were dependent on the industry of which he was the head.

 MT. Barrle's Thirst for Fame.
 James M Barrie has just passed his forty-hrst birthday, relates the Chicago News Twenty-Five years ago he was ScTaWunB on a Dlt or pdper at DuHlIrle5 Acamedy something like this: When you read the following article I think I hear you exklaim: Who is this grate literary genus appearing before our eyes and talSin' our hearts by storm?" Wheth- CT the article in the school magazine ever took anybody by storm or not is not known MT. Barrie seemed a long way from fame and fortune then. But he found an inspiring friend in the village tailor, who taught him to repeat the lines: What can do to be forever known and make the age to come my own?" Mir Barrie made up his mind that the thing for him to do was 10 write, and he took up his pen and wrote himself into fame.
 But Barrie did not find fame, like Byron in night. It was slow growth. It be- gan in a garret. His first effort, while yet mere lad, reached the publisher in three volume novel. The publisher thought the writer ''clever lady," and was ready to publish the book for f100 but Barrie's autograph was not worth HOO to him in those days, and his first book remained wrapped up some where in brown paper in the obscurity of his Kirriemuir home.

His French Not Appreciated.

John Drew, the actor, speaks French with an excellent accent, of which he is pardonably proud, and hence he was im- mensely pleased when Mime. Bernhardt said to him recently:
 "You must really come to Paris and ap- pear in a Parisian theatre; yes in my theatre and play with me-
 MT. Drew was naturally f1attered to have his French so greatly appreciated. He felt several inches taller as he an swered:
 Really, Mime. Bernhardt, this Is most gratifying. What sort of a part would you like to have me p1ay?"
 "Oh," said Mme Bernhardt, with her sweetest smile. naturally, the part of an Englishman."

 From the Tuscaloosa Sun.
 The Constitutional Convention Is still dragging along. It seems that the time allotted them for their work is too short, and it is doubtful whether they can finish their labors in that time. The action of the convention in postponing action on the suffrage clause is of doubtful wis., dom. The convention was called for the purpose of passing a new suffrage law, so 1t would seem that they should finish work on this before going any further The result of the postponement may be that in the rush of the last few days any old kind of law will be rushed with out half of the members knowing what is going on.
