working together with the republicans
and with certain contingent OF the
democratic party. they have secured
it to themselves. And it now seems
to be too late to take it away from
them. That is the plain truth of the
Maryland situation---the white demo-
Gratis hesitared too long and they now
find themselves powerless to eliminate
the negro as a factor in the political
situation.
In Georgia we have not $4,000. but
223 900 negro votes They are morgan
lied, unled, unexplained by white poll
ticians, and so long as they remain in
that condition they are not menace
to white supremacy. But II the white
were to divide and any political clique
should give these negroes intelligent
leadership. they might hold the balance
of power. 1t would take less than l0
per cent of the present white vote add
ed to the negro vote to insure negro
supremacy in Georgia And what war
rant have we that this VIII not some
day be the case? What Is there to
prevent the negroes, organized by IN
telligent white men, from holding prl-
maries of their own. and proceeding 10
the polls?' There Is no legal barrier
Does the Constitution prefer the sort
OF agitation which would ensue II they
adopted that course to the agitation
necessary to erect legal barrier? IT
would seem so.
The majority of the southern states
have already taken warning and legally
dlsfranchised the negro, thus eliminate
Ing him from the political situation.
Maryland politicians have played pol
itics with him so long that they are

same? Shall Georgia wait until the
thing happens, or prepare against Its

TO FIGHT ROOSEVELT.

If q dispatch from washington is
t., be given credence the weight of the
Influential organization of railway ean-
rloyes is to be cast into the scale
against the presidents rate policy. In
the dispatch referred to, the cores
rondent tells Of mysterious con-
ference held in Washington be-
tween the leaders Of the
different organizations and states
ION the best Of authority the decision
Uf this conference to use their united
Influence to prevent legislative action
giving the government power to revise
rates. The dispatch comes from q
cautious and reputable correspondent
and carries an air of credibility ON the
face OF It.
It is entirely within the range of
probabilities that the managers of
railroads have served notice on the
heads Of these organizations that add
ed powers FOL. the Interstate commerce
commission will be followed by seri-
Gus cut i'm wages. The trick Is not
a new one. 1t has been worked in one
form or another whenever railroad In
terests felt the need OF the political
influence of their employees. 1t is a
most effective process of intimidation.
If, as alleged, the railroads have re-
sorted to this fashion OF lining up
their wage earners In opposition to the
president no station agent, baggageman
and section hand will fail
to receive hint that conveys a
threat. And as there are nearly 300,-
900 members of railway employees as
sociations beside the vast army of UNI
organized workers lin railway employ
the strength and effectiveness of the
scheme need not be dilated upon.
! There is e. lack of public spirit and
! sincere honesty in the proposed action
; Of the railroad employees organizations
that Is scarcely commendable. To fail
in line at the crack of the employers
lash is not particularly brave thing
to do, nor is determination to sup
port an unjust and oppressive system
because Of larger share in the loot
essentially honest. However, it is hui
man nature to turn to the policy that
seems to promise an increase of in
dividulal prosperity and against legis-
lation, however necessary from pub
lie point Of view, that touches the
Individual purse.
The leaders Of the organizations re-
ferred to can without doubt throw
much influence against Roosevelt's
program of rate legislation. 1t is not
at all likely, however, that they can
control the ballots of their own mem
bers, however much they are able to
control other forms Of public express
sion. Opposed to the shipping and
producing interests of the country they
may help to delay but can not pre-
vent the coming reforms in the laws
pertaining to freight rates.

FOUND SITE OF OLD FORT.
Judge Cray Locates Ancient Chanya-
ska in Martin County.

ska in Martin County.
From Fridays Daily.
On Tuesday Judge Cray and wife of
Mankato who are stopping at Hazel
mere, secure da team and drove out to
Galena township to try and locate the
site of old Fort Chanyaska which he
helped to build when United States
soldier in the wild and turbulent days
OF the early sixties.
The fort was on section thirty-s six, the
land being now owned by Mr.. Rosskepf.
The Judge was soon able to find the
spot in an oat field from slight ele
walton or mound.
There was no timber in the vicinity
and the fort was built of sods. 1t was
small post and was built as one of
the chain of forts established by the
government at an interval of about fif
teen miles along the frontier. At that
time there was one of these forts at
the Iowa line, one at this place, larger
and more substantially built; the one in
question i'll the southeast corner of Ga
lena township, one at Madelia, and so on
all along the border. They were built to
serve as check to raids by the Indians.
One of the Rosskopf boys presented
the judge with an iron spear head
which he plowed up a few years ago
near the walls of the old fort. The
weapon is about ten inches long and
still quite sharp in spite of the collected
rust of nearly half century. The
head shows that it was broken off but
there still remains enough to show two
of the holes through which the iron or
steel head was rivited to wooden
handle.
At that time the traders carried on a
lively traffic in iron arrow heads and
spear heads which were bought in large
numbers by the Indians in exchange for
furs.
The fort was named after small
lake few rods west which the Sisseton
indians called Chanyaska.
Mr.. ad Mrs. Cray are enjoying their
stay in Fairmont. The Judge in his
soldier days" was stationed for some
time at the log fort which was estab-
lished on the hill about where the court
house now stands and for him visit to

UNDERSTOOD THE JURORS.
DR.. kock Says He Gould Read Them
Like Book.

|
/ Experiences of an alleged murderer,
who, after three trials, was acquitted,
were related by DIR. George R. Koch at
party given at his home Wednesday
evening last, says a New Ulm dispatch
to the st. Paul Daily News. About
thirty of the doctors most intimate
! friends were present and all listened
with interest to his story.
| He told of the sensations he expert
enced at the three trials, any one of
which might deprive him of his life.
| For the first time since suspicion
pointed to him nearly year ago, the
doctor talked freely. He said:
"There was not single man on the
three juries that | did not understand

could tell exactly the way they would
vote. The newspapers at various times
during the progress of the trials said
that | was disappointed over the YER
dict at the two first trials. This is not
true. | was not disappointed. / knew
the way the jury would vote and ex-
pected a disagreement. There were some
men in the jury box whom | could read
as clearly as a book.
"At the second trial / knew. after
we had been going few days, that the
jury would not acquit me- At the first
trial | could almost tell Immediately
that the jury would disagree.
There was only one time in all the
three trials that | was doubtful or

the hand that sought my pocket for a
handkerchief shook. This was when Ole

against me. was afraid that a crazy
man was going to get me into trouble
"At the last trial it may have seem

| appeared downhearted, it was when |
thought of my father, brothers and sis
ters. | did want to come out square
with the world for their sake / didn't

II have no hard feelings against any

| may follow their suggestion"
The party was a pleasant affair. DR..
Koch sang several solos and refresh
ments were served. Several young Ia
dies were present, among whom was DIR.
Koch's sweetheart, who stood by him at
all the three trials. They all said that
man who had murder on his con-
science could never sit in company, sing
and enjoy himself as did DR.. Koch at
that party.
