~&\HE following interesting sketch of the great
 Yukon delta is taken from copy of the J Aurora Borealis," published at St. Michael during the fall and winter of 1897-98. The pub fisher of the Aurora Borealis' was J. H. D. Rouse, of this city, the managing editor, was J. P. Agnew. The entire paper is neatly typewritten The first number consisted of ten pages, and is altogether credtabe to publisher and editor:
 The Yukon delta occupies much more exten- sive area than would be supposed by those who see only small portion travelled by the river steamers
 "The apex of the delta is at Andreafsk Here the mountains which have formed an uninter- rupted barrier along the northern shore, down from the Ramparts, suddenly trend off towards the North, leaving the Yukon to pursue it's course through an unbroken stretch of level country. Free at last from all restraint, it would seem that the great river now fairly revels in multiply ing it's channels, and through most perplexing labyrinth of streams, it's waters wind their way to their home in the all receiving sea-
 "The main branches which enclose the delta are known the Kwichpak (great) river, and the Kwichthlech (old) river. The Kwchpak, which is the northern boundary, is better known from of the river steamers.
 "A happily situated little offshoot, known as the Apron or passage, extends from the Kwichpak northwards to Pastol bay, thus affording valu- able short cut to St. Michael
 "On the left hand bank, few miles above the mouth of the Apron, is situated the trading sta tion of Kwutlek. This post is kept by an old timer, named Alexus Kamkeff, who enjoys the

Westfall died last week for the seventh time. but revived again in time to pre- vent the funeral, although the grave had been dug and the coffin ordered. He is a worker In the oil fields near JaKe's run and according to his own story has fre- quent attacks of unconsciousnsss. He had one of his attacks yesterday, the family made all the usual tests and he was pronounced dead. The grave vas prepared and the undertaken sent :tr. Hs arrived at night and was almost fright ened to death when the supposed corpse arose in bed and asked the undertaken what he was there for and what he was going to do Westfall found out in a short time that it was proposed to bury him and entered a vigorous objection.
 Westfall says he has several tunes been in this condition and has narrowly es- caped being buried alive on more than one occasion. He has sometimes lain in trance for two or three days at a time. During this period he has always had the most remarkable dreams. Nearly, always he dreams he is Tn Heaven. but can give no accurate description of what the place IS nKe. At other times he dreams he has gone in the opposite di- rection, and when this happens he Is always glad to be awakened. even by the undertaken. He Is in excellent health and his experience never hurts him.

vote. There are sections in the South in which this Is true. Whatever excuse ever existed fer these revolutionary methods Is taken away by the amended constitutions. Something could be said for lawless meth ods of excluding ignorant and incompe-
 tent voters: nothing can be said for law less methods of excluding intelligent and competent voters. If these methods con
 tinue to be pursued when the only ex-
 cuse for them has been taken away, It
 will be time enough to consider what
 steps can be taken to prevent their con
 tinuance. Here We consider only the laws
 concerning suffrage their nature and ef-
 feet In our judgment. whatever injus-
 tice there is in the Southern suffrage
 laws lies in their provisions for admitting
 to the suffrage white msn whoaafe mot
 competent to exercise it,Hnot in@ exclud-
 ing negroes who are competent to exer- else 1t. and these provisions are tenn porary. not permanent. in their opera ton, though not in their effects.
 If we have stated the facts here correctly. no negro showing evidences of competence, by his possession of a very limited amount of property, and by abih- ty to read and write the English lan- guage. Is permanently excluded from the suffrage in any of the Southern States. Before Northern, reformers consider the question what they ought to do to rectify the wrong supposed to have been perpe- trated on the negro race by the Southern Constitutional Conventions, they certainly should understand carefully what the wrong is. and how far time and educa- tion and the establishment of kindly rela- tions between black and white in the South will have the effect to correct it.

EMANCIPATED VOTER
THE FACTS ABOUT NEGRO sUF-
 TRACE IN THE SOUTH.
In None of the Southern States Have Laws Been Passed Excluding the Negroes from the Suf
 frage, Because They
 Are Negroes"

The Outlook.
 h undertaking to solve any problem 1t Is of the first importance that we know what are the facts out of which the problem arises If the people of the North are to form any intelligent judg- ment as to their duty respecting negro suffrage in the South they ought first to know what has been done respecting me- gro suffrage in the South. There seems to us to be widespread misapprehension as to what the Southern States have done in respect to negro suffrage by their re- cent constitutional action. We desire in this article to tell our readers, first what they have done, and, secondly, to con- sider the constitutional and ethical as- poets of their action
 The fifteenth amendment to the Con- stitution of the United States provides that the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color or pre- vious condition of servitude," This clause seems to us to be absolutely right. De- mocracy does not demand that every man in the community shall vote; 1t does not involve unconditional suffrage. But 1t does demand that men shall not be ex- cluded from participation in the Govern ment by accident of birth. race or color It does not demand that every man shall
 
 demand that every class shall be rep resented in the Government It does not demand that the suffrage shall be given to the Ignorant. the idle. the vicious and the incompetent; but it does demand that the conditions of suffrage shall be such that men of intelligence. probity, indus try. men who have proved their com petence by the management of their own affairs to take part in the community s affairs, shall not be excluded from such participation by conventional. racial, or artificial barriers. It Is not right, and certainly it Is not American, that the in terests of any one hereditary class in the community shall be intrusted solely to the keeping of another class. It is not right, it is not American. and the history of the world has shown that 1t is not safe. The affirmation of the fifteenth amendment that negroes shall not be ex- cluded from representation in the Gov ernment simply because they are negroes does not imply any distrust of the South ern whites; 1t simply implies faith in the universal principle. equally applicable in North and in South. in domestic and in foreign policy that no race or class of persons in the community can be safely left without any voice in the government under which they live. Have the Southern States violated this principle? Have they passed laws which exclude the negroes from suffrage because they are negroes?
 The conditions for registration in the amended constitutions of the Southern States are substantially as follows. and in 2I of them registration is a prerequis- ite to voting:
 Mississippi-only .Aose can register who have paid their poll tax of not less than two nor more than three dollars, and
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-06-28

who can read or understand when read to them. any clause in the Constitution.
 Alabama-Au honorable soldiers and their descendants and "all persons who are of good character who understand the duties and obligations of citizens un- der a republican form of government" can register prior to 1908 Thereafter those and only those can register: QD who can read and write the English Ian guage, and are regularly employed in some lawful occupation; (2) or who own real or personal property assessed for $500 or more, and who have paid the taxes thereon.
 South Carolina-To register prior to January l, 1898, the voter must be able to read clause in the Constitution, or understand or explain if when read to him. All who register subsequently, to the first of January, 1898. must be able to both read and write. or else show own ership of property assessed at $500 or more, and the payment of taxes thereon.
 Louisiana-To register the voter must be able to read and write. or must be the owner of property assessed at val uation of not less than 800. If such prop erty be personal only the taxes on 1t must have been paid. But in Louisiana any male person who was en- titled to vote on January 1, 1867 and no descendant of such person is deprived of the suffrage, provided he registers within the time limit of the Iterms of the Constitution, which in Lou isian was about six months, and mas al- ready passed; in North Carolina 1t Is about i've years from the present date.
 North Carolina-To register the voter must have paid his poll tax. not exceed ing g. and must be able to read and write; there is no property qualification.
 Virginia-Any soldier or son of a sol- dier, any owner of property of value lia- ble to N of State taxes--that Is, about $500 worth-and any person able to read any section of the Constitution, and to give a reasonable explanation of the same, or to understand and. explain 1t when read to him. can register prior to
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-06-28

January, 1904. After January l. 1904 any male citizen who has paid poll taxes for the three years preceding and who Is able to make his application for regis tration in his own handwriting, without aid, suggestion. or memorandum, can vote. But If he has served as a soldier in the army or navy of either the United States or the Confederate States, or any of them, he Is not required to pay his poll tax as a requisite to the right to register.
 In addition to these clauses are some general ones common 10 all States in the Union. disqualifyinR idiots, Insane per sons, paupers. criminals, and the like.
 We believe we have here given, with as substantial accuracy as the necessi- ties of brevity permit the qualifications respecting the suffrage adopted by the Southern States. .Jo one of them makes color and race, per SC, disqualification for suffrage. No one of them, in terms, violates the provisions of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution. In all of them alike the negro as we'll as the white man who complies with the condi- tions is entitled to be registered, This Is the first and evident fact which ought to be understood and recognized by all. Whatever may be the effect of these pro visions, whatever may have been the cb- feet with which they have been framed, they do not, in words. exclude the negro from the ballot because he is a negro.
 How far do they exclude him in point of fact? In answering this question the reader must note that in three of the States, Alabama, South Carolina and Virginia, a negro who possesses property amounting in value to three hundred dol lars and has paid his taxes may vote.
 He may not be able to read and write, he may not be able to understand the Con stitution when 1t is read to him. But If he has had the industry the sobriety, the thrift which have enabled him to aceu- mulate taxable property to the amount of three hundred dollars he has the bal lot How many negroes there are in the

 J. wilburn Haralson. against whom there are five indictments charging con- spiracy to hold in peonage. was brought to Montgomery last night and lodged in the county jail.
 Haralson was committed to jail by Deputy Marshal Hiram Gibson. He was arrested in Columbus. Ga, where he has been working in cotton mill.
 The indictments allege that Haralson while in the employ of George D. Cosby in Tallapoosa County. entered into a con- spiracy with other persons to hold ne- groes in peonage. Harrison was known as the affidavit man" He is said to have made the affidavits against the me- gFoes so held.
 It is probable that Haralson will be re- leased from jail as soon as he can com rnunicate with his friends in Tallapoosa County.
