Mr.. McNutt,s speech.

Among the famous men of Vicksburg
before the war, one Of the most promi-
nent was Mr.. McNutt. Two qualities
marked him out as an individual type.
The first was his personal cowardice.
Still more individual was his power OF
setting aside in his own favor those
prejudices of the public mind which
would have crushed any other man.
He was at one time candidate for
United States senator. The opposing
candidate was General Quitman. In a
speech McNutt said: "Fellow citizens,
understand that General Quitman Is
now in the eastern counties reviewing
his militia, and that he says when he
meets me he intends to whip me. Now
I tell him at this faroff distance that If
he whips me it will be because he can
outrun me, for I have great horror
for the barbarous practice Of personal
violence"
Such speech from any other man
would have won him the contempt OF
his listeners, but it was McNutt, and
people laughed and applauded.-"Recol-

Indian. and Citizenship.

Indians who maintain their tribal re-
lations are not permitted to vote in any
state. They are not citizens of the
United States, but merely wards Of
the nation" In all the states, we be-
lieve, an Indian who has severed his
tribal relations and become citizen
and taxpayer has right to vote on
an equality with the whites. In the
matter of voting the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution prohibits the
states from making any discrimination
on account Of race or color. Our nat
uralization laws, for instance, do not
admit Cinnamon to naturalization, but
the supreme court has decided that a
Chinaman born here is as much citi-
zen as are the descendants Of those
who came over with John Smith to
Jamestown or with the pilgrim fathers
to Plymouth rock. And the Indian
ought to have better rights here than
the Chinaman.-St. Louis Republic.

There is policemen's college in st.
Petersburg to train applicants for the
force. There is a museum combined
with the school where the pupils make
themselves familiar with the tools Of
criminals-jimmies, drills, chisels and
contrivances for robbing collection
boxes, special field of Russian
thieves. The Russian passport system
is studied in detail. The duties of the
dvorniks, sort of assistant police, are
taught They keep watch on the resi-
dences, report on the habits of tenants,
their visitors, examine the papers OF
newcomers and direct them to report
themselves at the police station. The
members of such a clever and compli-
Gated system need careful instruction.

If when riding in balloon, at a
height, say, of 1000 feet, a charge OF
guncotton be fired electrically 100 feet
below the car, the report, though really
as loud as a cannon, sounds no more
than a mere pistol shot, possibly partly
owing to the greater rarity of the air,
but chiefly because the sound, having
no background to reflect it, simply
spends itself in the air. Then, always
and under all conditions of atmosphere
soever, there ensues absolute silence
until the time for the echo back from
earth has fully elapsed, when deaf
ening outburst of thunder rises from
below, rolling on often for more than
half minute.
