LandlordleSs Houses.

There are 600 houses in Phila-
delphia occupied by tenants who
find themselves in the position
OF having no landlord to collect
rents. Moreover, there is no one
authorized to receive the money,
even should they wish to pay it.
Those houses are part of the es-
tate of Colonel John Mckee, the
colored millionaire, who left his
fortune to found a school, under
the supervision of Archbishop
Ryan and Attorney Joseph P.
McCullen. His relatives have an
nounced their determination to
contest the will. The contestants
have filed the necessary bonds re-
CURED by law, but no application
has ever been made to the regis
ter of wills for a hearing nor for
the appointment of an admins
traitor pendente life.

The St. Louis Worlds Fair COM
mission appears to be about to COM
unit a grave error in granting per-
mission for the erection at the fair
of miniature replica OF Monte
Carlo, the famed gambling resort
of Europe. As Il beautiful and
artistic feature such a production
would no doubt be a pleasing and
effective addition to.the.exposition,
but when it IS known that, besides
a representation of this
gilded gambling resort, the famous
casino is 10 be provided with ex-
perts in the various games that
have lured so many victims to ruin
at Monte Carlo so initiate visitors
5n the mystery of how a fool and
aais money are soon parted at that
resort. there doubtless will beserious
objections to the plan. While
gambling Is all too common vice
IN this country, yet the more moral
element of our citizenship is sure to
protest against this glittering school
of gambling Even men who may
indulge IN games OF chance them
selves do not wish their young
sons or daughters to be initiated
n the art Of gambling.

The Men. Behind the Bidder.

The new owners of the Phila-
delphia Record turn out to be
John WEeth, a rich drug manu-
facturet Henry B. Gross, a
rich soy manufacturer; James
Kerr, exAongressman and former
secretary oS the Democratic con-
gressional committee, and w. S.
Stenger. All aree Pennsylvanians
and Democrats. That they
bought the paper for political rea-
sons does not appear, although
they may have desired to keep
the Record out OF Republican
hands. Their chief inducement
to buy, probably, came from the
value of the Record as an Garner
of big dividends. It is announced
that the paper will be run on the
old lines.

THE POLL TAX AMEND
.HEKT.
HENT.


The fact is probably not general
~ known in Texas that a provision
to prohibit persons from voting in
Texas who had not paid their poll
tax, exactly similar 10 the amend
.ment to be voted on in November.
was defeated in the constitutional
convention held at Austin in 187e.
The vote on the said provision stood
81 against to 20 for. The chief
reason for its defeat was the ap-
parent injustice OF debarring the
poor man who had not paid his
poll tax from the right to vote,
when the wealthy tax dodger who
50 commonly fails to pay his taxes
En full was not to be debarred like
wise. A proposition to amend the
section containing the poll tax
provision by also withholding the
right Of franchise from all voters
who had not paid all state and
county taxes, as we'll as the poll
tax, was defeated, the very men
who advocated the poll tax law
voting against it. This proposed
amendment made manifest the rank
injustice Of the poll tax law itself
and the latter was also defeated. by
the vote above referred to- These
facts are learned from a COMMUNE
cation in the Houston Post, setting
forth the history Of the matter as it
happened in the constitutional con
wention of 1876, which framed the
present State Constitution. though
che facts had probably escaped the
memory Of most Texans, yet they
are none the less relevant to the
present situation, when the state is
confronted with d proposition which
has for its real object the withhold
ing of the franchise from the poor
man. It would have been an injustice
an 1876, and it would be equally as
unjust now. THE HERALD appears
no be almost entirely alone among
Texas papers in its opposition to
the proposed law, but it hopes
nevertheless that the voters of the
state may decide against the amend
znent. As this paper has previously
declared, the proposed law is a
zmere makeshift at best, intended to
Force the payment OF tax which it
as never attempted 10 collect save
from property owners. 1t is more
sover an innovation, IN that it
would debar a man from voting
9or debt, which does not appear to
gbe allowable under our constitu-
s5ion. Furthermore, while it may
sfebar many a poor man from vot-
6ng, ii will not prevent any property
owner who may also have failed to
pay taxes from voting, if he has
only paid the poll tax. 1t discrimin-
-ates against the poor man, and it
should be defeated.

While E. Hurley was located
in this city as general superinten-
dent of the western grand division,
he stored up about so, 900 tons OF
coal for culture reference" on his
part of the road. Because OF his
foresight the western grand di-
vision is not bothered at all by the
present shortage OF equipment for
hauling coal. but Mr.. Hurley, as
OF the eastern
grand division. is now obliged to
hustle for his coal. Some OF the
officials OF the Santa Fe are now
inclined to have fun with Mr..
Hurley for the way in which his
big coal reserve was taken out of
his jurisdiction just abou, the

Postmaster Dalton received of.
ficial information from Washing
ton yesterday morning that the
site for the new postoffice building
had been selected, and that it
would be located on II. Simon
toms property, on the corner OF
the alley on Granada street, be-
tween Colorado and Santa Fe
venues.
The building will have a front
age OF forty-six feet on Granada
street, and will be thirty.eight feet
in depth. There will be separate
departments for the sale OF stamps,
registry business, ETC., metropoli-
tan style, with private Office for
the postmaster. All OF the furni-
ture and fixtures are to be supplied
by Mr.. Simonton, and the build
is to be leased for period of ten
years. The building must be
ready for occupancy not later than
February /, 1903.
The location gives general satis-
faction to the business men and
the people in general, as it will be
central. and the long lease given
will put an end for all time to the
"postoffice location warfare" that
has existed between the two prin-
cipal business streets of this city
from time immemorial.

me in expending the necessary
amount of money, must be sure
OF a certain amount OF business

not less than Si7,ooo, and If the
people willinsure me the business,
I will build it, In order to do
this, l have a written contract for
each consumer Of ice to sign, say
ing he will take so much ice the
coming season. and pay for the
same in advance at the time the
plant is completed and is actually
engaged in manufacturing ice for
the market at La Junta.
These contracts are to be kept
in one OF the banks, and if the
plant is not completed on OF before
June ist next, then it will be re-
turned to the signer, and nothing
will be paid. This is done to Sc
cure the consumer, 50 that no one
