capital city during the fall campaign.
The situation Is peculiar. The Demo
Gratis are endeavoring to get into line
with the wishes Of the bet er element
Of the people, while, also as usual,
the Republicans are standing pat on
the party record with "whatare-you-
going-tJ-doabout-it' assurance that

For years the politicians of the Re.
publican party have catered to the
black vo.e in this city ana county
the Republicans encouraging the col
ored brother to como and make this
his home. secure in his legal rights,
with the certainty that his most in.
elilgent members would be elevated
to office in due time.
Such very shameful condition OF
affairs could not last forever and the
matter came to a focus during the
last springs campaign
With an overwhelming majority of
whie people in this Oogan) county,
officially reported at 81 per cent Of
the total vote. It is thought that the
black vote Of l3 per cent can be ov-
ercome through united effort by the
white citizens of the city and county.
However. to preserve he colored
brolne- as the founda Ion FOR many
more campaign arguments along this
line, both the Republican and Demo
cratic farmers are competing to keep
him here to pick their cotton crop.
A knowledge of his universal custom
is prompting unregenerare sons of
Belial to ask, (which man shows the
more vital, personal, direct desire TO
keep the colored brother with us he
who pays his own money to the Ethio-
plan for picking cotton. or the other
man who votes to feed the aforesaid
Senegamhian at public crib?' IF the
oolored brother Is an ever growing
danger to the sanctity OF the home, an
unnamed horror to the innocence Of
America, what kind Of citizen must
he be who employs and feeds the
black labor2 Such are a few of the
questions springlng up In and around
the local political field of action. such
questions promise mere measiness

cciored man from the public funds, it
is UNNECESSARILY worse TO feed him

SENT UP FOR 70 YEARS
Judge Scott Gives Ellis Long Term
For Shooting Durfee.

The case of James Ellis, who plead
ed guilty of assault upon Clarence
Durfee, came to an unexpected end
this afternoon with the sentencing of
the defendant to a term of twenty
years at hard labor in Fort Madison.
The defendant, who was to have
been sentenced Wednesday, this morn
ing waived time and asked that judg-
ment be pronounced Immediately.
Judge Scott thereupon designated one
o'clock as the hour for the time for
fixing sentence. The defendant made
a statement to the court to the effect
that ne had never before been in any
trouble of any kind and that be had
lived here since 1881. He said he was
angry. He was sorry Lor what he lad
done, and God helping MIN, ne yould
never~GoS anything of the kind again.
Judge Scott spoke at some length,
reviewing the case. He said he could
find no mitigating circumstances in
the cas- which was n of aggravated
nature. He took into consideration
the mans race and his condition, the
oppression of his people, and the like.
He had saved some costs and the
court decided to reduce the maximum
punishment by one-third. He said
the defendant was the most fortunate
unfortunate he mad known. He was
most fortunate in not being called up
on to be sentenced for willful murder.
Had his arm varied by one-quarter of
an inch he would have killed Durfee
instead IL wounding him. Bond on
appeal is fixed at five thousand dol
lars.
The sentence of twenty years was
unexpected. Ellis thought that he
would get a light Jail sentence. He
stated to Janitor Richmond as he was
being taken to the court room that he
would get off with five or six months
in the Jail.
Trial of the case before Judge Scott
came to an unexpected close Monday
afternoon at four o'clock. The evil
dence of the state had just been closed
When Ellis and his attorney had a
hasty consultation. In the face of the
evidence that was given it was decid-
ed that defense would be of little
avail and hence a plea of guilty was
entered and made of record. Wednes-
day morning has been fixed by Judge
Scott as the time for the pronouncing
Of sentence upon the defendant.

Toxic, Niv. 29.-It is reported that

Japanese light artillery is succeeding.
1t is estimated that 80 per cent Of the
work of the complete occupation Of
Port Arthur will be finished with this
height in the possession of the Jap
anese. No part of the harbor of Port
Arthur will then be concealed from
the Japanese.

Mukden, Nov. 29.-More skirmishes
are reported today, but there is no
sign Of definite Japanese advance. No
important change in the situation is
noted. A Japanese prisoner says that
Gen. Kuroki is not dead, as was ru-
mored among the Chinese. The jap
anese have succeeded in placing sew
eral big siege guns in position, with
which they will be able to seriouly
harass the Russians.
The japanese are using dogs as
scouts, sending them out from the
trenches with long cords attached. 1t
is almost impossible to detect these
wary animals which ~unerringly locate
the Russian position and give warning
of any movement against the Japan
Eese.

THIS WILL START TROUBLE.
France WIN Ignore Japan's Treaty with
Korea aud Declares Other Nations
VIII Do Likewise

Paris, Feb. 26.-It Is the belief In
the highest official quarters that the
powers will support the Russian view
Of the invalidity Of the Japanese treaty
with Korea SO far as 1t creates Japa-
nese protectorate over Korea, owing
to the emperor being under duress.
But It Is said that no immediate action
on the part of the powers Is required.
as the question of the recognition Of
the protectorate will definitely arise
when the terms Of peace are consid-
cred. In the meantime official opinion
here is strongly sympathetic with Rus
sia's position. and It is considered that
Russia's note to the powers protesting
against Japan's violation Of Korean
neutrality fully protects international
rights as the-protestant antedates the
Official announcement of the conclusion
of the treaty. The foreign Office con-
siders the announcement confirmatory
Of the view that Russia's protest to
the powers was designed to reserve all
the rights and to prevent international
acceptance Of the treaty establishing
o protectorate.
