examination recalled the stein episode
and she felt worse than ever. She at

ILLEGAL RselsrRATloN.

= ONE OF THE MACHINE politi-
y clans of the Quay brand in Phila-
delphia are asking themselves and one
another how they ever happened to
buy such a gold brick as John Weaver,
mayor. And people outside OF Phila-
delphia viii wonder how Mr.. Weaver
happened to be elected mayor, for,
mirabile dictu. Weaver seems to be an
honest man. A few days ago he eX-
ploded a bombshell ia the ranks Of the
Quay Faithfuls by directing the .po-
lice to institute canvass and report
ali cases OF fraudulent registration
If the mayor is in earnest, and other
recent actions Of mis- indicate that he
is in earnest. q lot of trouble is in
store fc~ somebody. The poll thus far
shows eleven votes registered from a
stable on Broad street. seven from q
stable on Race street, three from va
cant lot on Darien street, seven from
a vacant dwelling on North Eighth
street. and five from another vacant
house on Darien street. There are
abundant evidences IF thousands Of
other illegal registrations.
Ten wards have a population of 49,,
G35. a decrease in ten years of 26,613
Ten years ago, with a population OF
1858. these wards contained 46,572
voters. Today. with "a population Of
10. OBS, as stated. the same wards have
81. 066 registered voters" Thus the
increase in voters is almost two-thirds
as great as the decrease in population.
There is just one way to account for
this curious circumstance. Thousands
Of Illegal voters are registered in the
ten wards named. No wonder the
Quay machine is able to roll up ma
jorites with the regularity desired by
the men in control of it.
It viii be seen that there is a voter
in these wards for less than every
three people The usual method Of
estimating voters in proportion to pop
ulation throughout the country is on a
ratio oF one 10 FIVE. That is, for every
individual who votes there are four
who do not vote This rule hardly
holds good in states where Woman's
suffrage prevails, but it is good every
where else. It will be interesting to
see what Mayor Weaver does with the
illegal registrations after he gets them
all rounded up.

 The manner in which he checkmated Crumpacker in his pronounced effort to reduce our representation is too fresh l. tion here.

 An Impressive Lesson.
 Those who witnessed the attendance of five hundred negro farm hands of the late Hon. C. w. Thompson upon the funeral of their beloved employer at Tuskegee yesterday must have been deeply impressed by the scene. Among the distinguished people who attended the funeral were a number of Congress- men from States where the people as rule have an entirely erroneous idea of the negro and his relations with the whites in the South. These gentlemen could not have failed to be struck by the scene MT. Thompson was greatly beloved by the people of his district, osnecially. Among those who trusted him and who loved him were a large number of negroes who looked upon him as their friend, ever ready to help them by counsel or by act. Five hun dred of these negroes were employed on his plantations. They came in con- tact with him. They were given by him means of earning their livings. they believed in him as the friend of the negro who attends to his work and

 wife and son had resided while he was Fighting for his country.
 His father was a man of indomitab1e energy. good judgment. and exceptional business qualifications, and was en- Rbled by close application and strict economy to give his son a fair educa- tion in the common schools of Macon County, and al the Park High School in Tuskegee.
 After the son had completed his course in the Park High School, his de- sire for business and his early devel- opment along business lines placed him at an early age in his fathers mercan- tile business in Tuskegee, where he soon demonstrated his aptness for busi- ness.

 After his fathers death in 1891, he closed out the mercantile business. and organized the Bank of Tuskegee. Colo mel Thompson was unanimously chosen As President. which position he occupied until his death. The bank of Tuskegee under his management has in ten years doubled its original capital stock, and paid the stockholders an annual divi- dend of per cent. from the earnings of the bank, and is considered today one of the most successful banking in- eitutions in East Alabama.

 In Politics.
 In 1886. while busily engaged In mer- cantile and farming pursuits. he was appointed County Superintendent of Education of Macon County, which po- sition he filled with credit and ability. When Governor Johnston was elected Governor of Alabama he selected Col onel Thompson as a member of his staff. and in 1898. he was unanimously chosen to represent the Twenty-sixth Senatorial District, comprised of the
