New State Jewellers Organization.

Milwaukee, Wis, june 97.-The Wis
consin Retail jewelers. association, al
though the youngest state organization
of retail jewellers in the United States
has larger charter membership than
any other similar association in the
country. To 'ay it opened its first an
nual convention with large attend
auce of members and remarkable en-
thusiasm. The local retail jewellers
have made extensive preparations for
this event and have arranged an inter
esting and enjoyable program For the
two days of the convention. Wisconsin
has 651 jewellers and it is expected
that before long more than one half of
them will belong to the state organiza-
tion. The purposes Of the association
are to better the conditions Of the
trade in general and to protect its
members against inefficient artisans
who attract trade by cutting prices, but
do not furnish frst-class work.

the people, ALSO OVERLOOKED THE
FATAL DEFECT.
A measure that received 10000 ma!
jority on popular vote, of course, will
be promptly enacted by the legislature
There isn't any more reason for
granting milIionaires and public off,

certain citizens free postage stamps
The nnactice has grown to be very
widespread, and the transportation

AS 1T Is CARRIED OUT BY THE

Col. Roessler says that the north Jet.
ty that is planned TO be constructed
when the south jetty is completed will
result in forty feet Of water on that
bar
To be more accurate, Col. Roessler
says cit has been said" that a second
jetty will accomplish that result.
"BUT IT rs BY NO MEANS GER,

conditions at the mouth Of the Colum-

INSURANCE PROSPECTS.
The Whole Country Determined to See
Justice Done.

L
Justice Done.
Let there be no mistake made as to
the issue at stake between the insured
and many of the insurance companies
in This city. Nobody expects insurance
companies to pay for buildings made
uninhabitable by earthquake before
the fire reached them, nor has amy
controversy arisen i'm regard TO such
a claim. If any building, while still
remaining fit for use was so damaged
that its value was seriously impaired
the fects should be ascertained and
the loss adjusted in accordance with
those facts. There are very few such
cases. No company whose policy
contains an earthquake clause" is ex'
pected 10 pay a loss caused by fire
originating on the premises in conse-
quence of the earthquake. The com
troversy in this city does not refer 20
any of these points.
What the people complain of is the
refusal to adjust and settle liability
when the company makes no claim
that the building was seriously inr
ju-ed by am earthquake, or that the |,
fire originated ON the premises as a
result of the earthquake. There is
dishonorable effort to scare policy |
holders into accepting less than th-
face of the policy, under the fear that
if they do not do so they will get |
1t is the none dishonorable
because when dealing with those who
ere not trained business men, the
f adjusters are so craft
ly made that they have the intended
effect on the policy holder, while en-
lblimg the ad5uster TO claim that the
,eduction was voluntarily made for
lhe purpose of getting the money be-
'ore it was legally due. 1t is the fact
hat, as rule, the policy holder who
vih not compromise can get no def
lite settlement of any kind. The proof
f loss is not usually objected to but
he policy holder can get MO promise
Thich will enable him Ito know
thether he will or will not get his !

DEFECT IN REGISTRY LAW.

Il The 0uegonian calls attention to tn,
fact that in its home county twelv,
hundred votes were sworn in on free
holders blanks, and that 176 of these
unregistered voters cast their ballot in
Sellwood precinct.
The remedy suggested by the Ore
gonian is to rigidly exclude from vot.
ing all who do not take the trouble to
| register.
THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN THT:,
FROM TILE STANDPOINT OF MAN
HOOD SUFFRAGE. Many are not
situated so as to get their names on
the registration rolls.
The original Australian ballot law
contains a registration provision that
would seem to meet the difficulty in
Oregon.
There is registry officer appointed
for each voting precinct, who is resi-
dent thereof. He makes up roll of
the bona \ dde, legal resident voters Of
the precinct, and returns the same to
the court that appointed him.
A COPY OF THE ROLL IS POST
ED THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE
ELECTION AND THREE DAYS SET
FOR "PURGING THE ROLL" be-
fore magistrate, who, upon proper
showing, made under oath, can add
names of persons who are entitled to
have thel' names added, or strike off
names that have been improperly en-
rolled. After the list is purged thus
publicly it is closed. AND ONLY
THOSE WHOSE NAMES APPEAR
ON THIS PURGED AND CERTIFIED
ROLL, which is put in the hands of
the election officers, CAN VOTE AT
THE ENSUING ELECTIONS.
OF course, even this system, and
every system is open to abuse, and
frauds are possible.
1t is the SYSTEM used in nearly all
countries having the Australian ballot

The article in this issue from
the pen Of Hon. George R. Jones
is so ultra. that argument would
effect nothing-Ephriamis joined
to his idols. The whole tenor
'and gist of the article is an at
tempt to stir up factionalism, a
thing which has become obnoN-
ious long ago, and whenever the
people have had an opportunity
it has been completely demon
strated. not only has this radi-
callsm become obnoxious to the
people of this State, but the de-
feat of General Grosvernor for
denomination to Congress after
a long service is evidence that
even the Republicans are tired
of the bloody shirt waving which
was Grosvernor's political stock
in-trade. Mr.. Jones' letter would
be 1aughable did he not take SO
strong a hold on Tillman's coat
tails. His appeal to the wool
hats" to 'sstand firm and be un-
dismayed, remember you are
the mainstay Of the country" is
an outburst of enthusiasm that
used to go. but it don't go now.
Men are chary about being sus-
pected of drinking s'76," and it
is that brand which makes them
say such foolish things.

Why not Hurrah for Jones and the Dis
pensary?
editor The Manning Times

Editor The Manning Times
There are so many conflicting rumors
in circulation concerning the sad trag-
edy in our midst last Sunday I feel it
encunbent on me as an officer of the
church, near which the foul murder
was enacted, to put in print my solemn
protest against the general Conduct OF
my race, as we'll as the act and the
cause thereof.
It is a deplorable fact that whiskey
was the cause OF the deed. 1t is only
oy the mercy OF God that similar oc-
eurrences are not more frequent. There
is not a gathering OF our people in this
part of the county, that there are not
whiskey peddlers, besides the local
bar-rooms. Why they have not been
reported is due to the fact, sn%:: ! IS so
difficult to get any of our race :, IN
form on the other. The ki:ss.1ss last
Sunday was deliberate and altogether
uncalled for.
Robert Guess was a good citizen,
respected by the white pecple as well
as the colored, and had not interfered
with anyone. He was man that at
tended to his business and treated
every one politely.
AS to the whiskey business down
here:IWhy sir it is now sold and drunk
at our funerals and churches, our GEM
etery is covered with empty bottles, |
removed one from my wife's grave.
There will have to be something done,
and done quickly or there will be rep
etitions of last Sundays dark record.
Now Mr.. Editor. I have tried to- give
the public some idea of the doings OF
the people of this neighborhood and
expect it will be the means of heaping
Goals OF fire on my head. but for the
sake of Christ and humanity | hope
something will be doue and done
quickly.

Col. J. E. Norment, private

Col. J. E. Norment, private
secretary to Governor Hayward,
has announced that he will be a
candidate for the Office of Secre-
tary of State. Norment is a fine
fellow and has a host of friends
throughout the State. but there
is Ebert Aull, who is also sus-
pected of having aspirations TO,
that Office and he too has host
of friends among Norment's
friends. The two will conflict,
and it would be easier to arrive
at a choice if these two charm
ing fellows would get together
and agree which should be the
secretary, and which should be
the chief clerk. Then the friends
could help both at one and the
same time.

has a right to be a candidate on
a party platform, who does not
endorse it, and no man can con-
sclentiously vote in the primary
if the platform is a violation of
his principles. Therefore, the
matter Of the proposed confer
ence may have serious results,
and will have, if the opponents
of the State dispensary divide
themselves into 'sthree distinct
clements The majority of Dem
ocratic voters may discover
themselves disfranchised by q
tricky wording of pledge ana
oath.
We direct attention to these
matters, then it is up to the peo,,
pie whether or not they would
have such a condition IN TINS
State. It will save a whole lot
of trouble and heart burnlngs II
the people wake up from their
lethargy and prevent such manlp-
ulation. 1t is known, we are IN
no condition in this State for
independent movements; they
are deplorable and create strife
and bitterness, but when the
people realize they have been
buncoed and disfranchised, they
will not submit and the result OF
the primary under such condi-
tions can only terminate in an
appeal to the general election,
as was the case in Greenvllle
when those people would not
submit to the unfair tactics OF
the Executive Committee, and
appealed to the general election,
and Notwithstanding the great
influence of Senator Ti]lman to
uphold the nominee in the pri-
mary, the vote of the general
election showed a tremendous
majority for the independent
candidate. It was repugnant to
free men to be buncoed out OF
their liberties by a little bunch
of politicians, and they revolted.
If this could happen in one
county. the consequences will
be fearful IN the State. Let
every man do his full duty by
exercising his best judgment
for the general good.

Press dispatches say that
there is strong talk of Hon. John
L. McLaurin being appointed to
a place>in President Roosevelt's
cabinet. If the President ap-
points McLaurin, a man outside

it will not be without precedent.
President Cleveland had in his
cabinet Judge Greshem: a life

Mckinley had in his cabinet
Gage, a life long Democrat. We
