The great virtue about the really

seizes the one, the inevitable opportu-

A. UNIQUE DORMlTORY.

One That IL Owned by the University
Of the south.
Dean Hoffman was noted for char
liable impulses, which his large income
allowed him to indulge in. Some years
ago the dean invested heavily in land
in small southern town which was
then enjoying boom period. Among
the deans other investments was a
beautiful little hotel. exQuisitely ap-
pointed and perfect in every detail.
After awhile the boon" fell through.
and the little hotel became losing in

At this time the chancellor OF the
University Of the South. an old friend
Of Dean Hoffman. was on a hunting
trip with him in the mountains OF
North Carolina.

ing the town. "You can take it to
pieces and move 1t to Suwanec. 1t
ought to make pretty little dormi-
tory"
The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements to
move the hotel. when. to his astonish-
ment, the citizens Of the town obtained
an injunction against its removal on
the grounds that the hotel in q way
was public property and that to re-
move 1t would leave the town without
any hotel accommodations. A legal
fight followed, but the university won
out in the end. So the University Of

the city of Buffalo $4,000 and they
figured out that they would save their.
cost in five years in pay to election
judges and clerks. The courts have
upheld them in every way They have
been attacked and maligned but the
people want them. The democrats
really put them in, with the assistance
of a few republicans, and the first year
made the democrats sore on the ma
chimes. They are the greatest things
in the world to induce straight voting.
1t is SO easy to just swing one lever
around and let it go and walk out.
So the effect was to keep the demo-
Gratis from electing their ticket the
first few years because they have al
ways depended on scratching and the
scratchers. In As minutes after the last
vote was cast in Buffalo the result
was known in the entire city at head
quarters. / was present when they
tried them the first time and saw the.
run of the members of the Rambler
bicycle club to fetch in the returns.
Then they conduce to peace. One year
asked to be assigned as watcher
at precinct just to see how the things
run. The chairman sent me to pre-
cinct where they had killed two men
year or two before. I never saw
a more peaceable election. 1t Is easier
for an illiterate man to vote one of
them. They are set up in public places
and maintained for thirty days previous
to an election so that voters may learn
how to use them. Men will learn which
levers to pull down who could not read
the names on a printed slip. / never
saw an occasion when there was nee
essity for anyone to go into the booth
to show a man how to vote, except once
and that was in the case of a blind
man. The voting machine is q COM
ing device and Iowa ought to have done
something more than have a machine
commission. And just to think that the
voting machine was invented right here
in Iowa and the inventor couldn't get
anybody to look at his machine"

THE TREATY OF 1s4s.
It May Be Terminated by Twelve
Months Notice.

Months Notice.
Washington, Nov 4.-In the discus
sion of the diplomatic complications at
tending our relations with Colombia,
which now threaten TO upset the best
laid plans of a century for an 18TH
nlian canal. II snouid not be forgotten
that the treaty of 1876 may be termi-
mated on twelve months notice of either
party. 1t was originally negotiated for
twenty years, and after that period was
to run by common consent.
In 1885, in the first Cleveland admin
istration, the United States sent thou-
sand men to the isthmus to keep the
transit open and to maintain Colom-
bian sovereignty under the terms of the
treaty of 1876. 1t appears to have done
this spontaneously, mt the instance
doubtless of the New York interests in
the Panama Railroad Company; when
the Colombian minister called on Secre-
tary Bayard and learned the purpose OF
the movement, he was entirely satisfied
and wrote out memorandum the next
day of his understanding of the con-
versation. This appears among the
published documents of the state de-
partment.
The state of Panama would like to
come into the United States, but is
probably not strong enough to get up
an insurrection which could be recog-
nized by this government as valid, after
the Hawaiian precedent. Colombia is
by its constitution not allowed to alien
ate territory, and its people are now so
insanely jealous of the United States
that it is, not believed that any sum of
money would be sufficient to induce it
to sell the state of Panama, or at least
that part of it from the canal strip to
the Costa Rican boundary. This is
what the United States ought to have.
It is said that the present Colombian
minister in Washington never saw the
salt water till he started on his mis-
sion to the United States, and that he
does not in any sense represent the
commercial interests of Colombia, much
less of Panama. The country is one of
the most wretehedly governed of all
South America, and any one having to
deal with it becomes disgusted with the
spectacle of worthlessness and dishon-
esty presented.

justment of grievances which may arise
from time to time to the end that

sary.
In support of this demand we submit
the following reasons:
l. The anthracite mine worker sl1OJ =

vidual agreements, but should hav !;
right to form such organization - i'd
choose such agents and officers a. iey
desire to act collectively instead of in
dividually when they deem that their
best interests are subserved thereby.
2. Agreements between employers and
employees thru workingmen's organiza-
tions are the ordinary method of regu-
lating production and wages in the
bituminous coal fields and in other
large industries, and are beneficial, suc-
cessful and in keeping with the spirit
Of the times.
3. Unions of working men tend to the
better discipline of the men and to the
Improvement of their physical, moral
and mental condition, and to- the pres
ervation of friendly relations between
employer and employe.
4. Experience shows that the trade
agreement is the only effective method
by which it is possible to regulate
questions arising between employers
and employed in large industries, and
that trade agreement is the only pos
sible way ito establish the relations
between employers and the wage work
ers in the anthracite fields on a just
permanent basis and as far as possible
to do away with any causps for tho ra :
currence of such difficulties as those

sion) have been been called in to set

Mrs. Meadows has never regained con-

placed in custody and held till Miss
Meadows had sufficiently recovered to
identity him. This she did yesterday
afternoon, and the negro was taken in
charge by about 125 men and his body
riddled with bullets. Harris denied his
guilt until the first shot was fired. and
then he acknowledged the crime. The
condition of the house showed that rob-
