It is to be hoped that the report of
the intention of the administration
to force Comprehension through Con-
gress is erroneous.
The relations between the North
and the South are more cordial than
they have been for half century.
No matter what can be said of the
attitude Of small politicians who find
it profitable to ferment trouble, the
people of the two sections are draw
ing closer together. The great body
of Northern voters, if LETT alone by
the office-seekers and notoriety hun
ters, would acquiesce in the elimina-
ton of the negro as a voter and op-
pose the reduction of Southern rep
resentation in Congress.
The negro in the South is not dis
franchised except by reason Of his
deficiencies as citizen. La every
Southern State the way is open to
him to become qualified elector.
North Carolina has been heldup as an
example of a Notwithstanding
State, yet at least many negroes vot-
ed without intimidation last Tues
day and their votes were fairly count
ed. There is not a State in the
Union which has not large class of
non-voters by reason of the fact that
certain qualifications are attached to
the exercise of the suffrage. Massa-
chusetts is a conspicuous instance,
and yet there is no agitation to cut
down the representation of Massa-
chusetts.
Crumpackerism is political in in
ceptiOn and is TO be sectional in ap-
plication. It would be q crime
against a people solving a complex
| question as best they may. It would
supplant good will with bitterness,
love with hate and peace with dis
order. For the President to lend
his power to such a movement would
attach to him an odium such as nc
other President has ever carried.
| Until the evidence that heis in sym.
pathy with Crumpackerism is abso
lutte and indisputable, conservative
men will hesitate to believe him E
Iparty to measure which would be
without parallel for injustice in
iAmerican history.
The President is impetuous ever
to the verge of rashness; he is senti
mentul even to the point of being
quixotic, but neither sentimentalit,
nor impetuosity would excuse sup
port of an effort to humilate one sec
ton of the country and deprive it O
a just share of representation in tn
councils of the nation.

Governor O'DeH Thanks the People

and Will be Contested
by Democrats: House

In Dispute.
New York, Nov. 6-The latest re-
turns from various parts Of the State
give Governor O'Dell plurality of
ten thousand over Coler, Democrat.
The rural districts were Governor
O'Dell's redemption for the Demo-
Gratis carried New York City by
eighty thousand.
The Democrats elected all their
Congressional candidates but one in
New York City. Greater New York
gave Coler 121 200 majority.
The Legislature will be Republi-
can by a reduced majority. Senator
Thos. G. Platt is assured of his re-
turn to the United States Senate if
he cares for another term.
Queensborough elected George A.
Gregg, Democrat, as District Attor-
ney.
Governor O'Dell says:
cit was hard fight. I thank the
people and I shall spare no effort to
prove myself worthy Of their conf
dence."
Mr.. COler says:
"We will not give up. There is
something queer about returns and I
do not consider the contest definitely
settled. For ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain our Republican
friends are peculiar. L shall have
something to say later on"
New York, Nov. Cit is now
said that O'Dell's majority is SO
small that the vote will be contested
by Democrats. It is less than 5000.
Bets are not being paid on Wall
street today, awaiting the result of
the Democratic claims.

A Melons Strength.

A we'll known student OF nature once
tried the growing force of a melon.
When it was is days old and measured
q inches in circumference, he fixed a
sort of harness around it, with a long
lever attached. The power of the melon
was measured by the weight it lifted,
the weight being fixed to the lever.
When it was 20 days old, two days af-
ter the harness was fixed on it, 1t lifted
60 pounds. On the 18th day !; lifted SO
pounds. The seed of the globe turnip
is about the Goth part of an inch in
diameter, and yet in the course of a
few months this seed will enlarge into
81, 900 times its original bulk, and
this in addition to the bunch of leaves.
1t has been found by experiment that a
turnip seed will under favorable con-
ditions increase its own weight Is times
in a minute. Turnips growing in peat
ground have been found to increase
more than 1900 times the weight OF
their seeds in a day.

A remarkable surgical triumph has
been won by a Philadelphia doctor,
who has succeeded in grating a new
set of upper and lower eyelids on the
eyes of a man who lost his original set
in a fire. The accident had left both
eyeballs unprotected, and there was
danger of the victim losing his sight
entirely.
When the ease was brought to the
attention of the doctor, he resolved to
graft four new eyelids if possible. TAX
ing the skin from the hip of the patient.
1t was necessary to proceed slowly
but the experiment was successful from
the start. Today the patient has four
new evelids, which perform the normal
functions naturally.
The ease has attracted widespread
interest among medical men. While
eyelid grating was not a new opera
ton. this is the first time, sc far as
known, that an entire set had been re-
placed successfully.
The chief danger in the loss of the
eyelids lay in the fact that it left the
eyes unprotected. The lids act as
brooms and keep the surface of the eye
clear. Without them it would be i'm
possible to remove specks of dust OF
any foreign body that found its way
into the eye. This in time would cause
the loss of the organ.

BURIAL OF AN INDIAN.
Last Descendant of Powhaten Laid
to Rest in New York.

New York Times: Evans Bradley,
last of the line in direct descent from
the mighty king of the Seneca Indians,
owhaten, received Christian burial
yesterday. Several Of the race wit
messed the burial service of the Baptist
church, to which he had been convert
ed and of which ne was a devout MEM
Der. The service was in the rooms Of
the Stephen Merritt Burial and Crema-
ton Company yesterday afternoon, and
was performed by Alga Tahament,
medicine man of the Seneca tribe.
Just before the beginning of the SER
Wis the Indians filed in, and as they
passed the casket they said n after
the other, Friend and fellow" With
the Indians was Mrs. Harriet Maxwell
Converse. the only woman ever admit
ted to the Senecas. The Indians ar
ranged themselves in a semi-circle near
the body. Albert Page, John and Err
nest Brady, cousins of the dead brave,
went bitterly, but the other Indians be-
;rayed no sign of their sorrow. Annie
Thornlaw, the girl for love of whom
the dead chief lost his mind, was at the
Ear end of the circle.
The service was opened with prayer
and quotations from the Scriptures.
Then those present sang the dead mans
favorite hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" Dark Cloud spoke in eulogy of
the dead. His voice trembled with
emotion as he told of the Indians con
ception of the Great Spirit"
II am not Boosting" he said, "but it
is true that there is no profane word
in any Indian language. We marvel at
his works, and wonder that the pale
face dares to speak lightly of the ruler
OF the lightning, the flood, the sun,
moon and stars, and that In anger he
iares to use the name of the n who
in his anger can destroy ALL"
Brady died on Tuesday in the Pa
yilion for Insane at Bellevue Hospital.
He was taken there from the Fall river
steamboat Priscilla, on which he was
an assistant steward. Some time ago
he fell in love with Annie Thornlaw,
the daughter OF the engineer on the
boat, but when he learned that he
could receive no hope of marriage, as
her parents had objected to his color,
he brooded until he became insane. He
was born and brought up in Virginia.

Mr.. Bryan was a bolter when he enter

not a matter of great moment, since he

party. But it is generally Understood
that after Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall, a
gold Democrat, had been nominated ny
the Virginia Democrats for governor a
wear or two before the Chicago conven-
ton, Mr.. Bryan promised to stump ,ho
state for a Populist candidate against
O'Ferrall. The Nebraskan was with

out that plan. This statement has been
made by Ex-Governor O'Ferrall, and its
accuracy has not been questioned.
