Black Domination Is To Be Avoided
 By Repeal of Law.

Columbia s. C., January 23.-Senator B. R. Tillman, in an address before the general assembly tonight, advocated the repeal of the fifteen amendment and the encouragement of desirable immigration as a means to offset. as he said, inevitable negro domination in the states in which the blacks predominate.
 He said the regular educational fund of the several states, coupled with that of northern philanthropists, the negro would soon be able to comply with the constitutional requirements of the various states and thus govern where they out number the whites

Last chapter.
 The last chapter in the correspondence, a new one also. is a reply by Surgeon General Rixey to Admiral Brownson's memorandum under date of January 22. The surgeon general denies that he ever asked that medical officers be entrusted with the navigation of hospital ships. On the contrary, he had asked that the bureau of navigation elect sailing mas ter and crew to navigate the ship, all orders to and from the sailing master to pass through the senior surgeon, who will be in command The Relief. as an army hospital ship, was commanded by a medical officer and there can be no question, he says, but that navy medical officers are as well qualified.
 The surgeon general states that neu- trality of the hospital ships demand that line officers and fighting crews should not be put aboard He contends that a merchant master and merchant sailors are as efficient in pilotage and naviga- tion as naval officers and a fighting crew
 And" says the surgeon general, "a naval crew who would wish to be on naval hospital ship when there was fight- ing ~ be done. would. to say the least

every promise and assertion which
he has ever made to US; and further,
we believe that if nominated and
elected, he will conduct the office of
coroner economically and efficiently,
and with the best interests of the
public always in mind.
Mr.. Ibertson states that he will,
if nominated and elected, appoint a
competent deputy for the north end
of Beltrami county, which would do
away with the large charges for
milage which have heretofore been
made for the work performed by a
resident of Bemidji acting as coroner.
And he will certainly do as he
agrees.
A vote for Mr.. Ibertson for the
republican nomination for coroner
means vote for man who will per-
form the duties of the Office fear
lessly and efficiently, and he should
receive the united support of all who
desire an economical administration
of the office of coroner.

This is our regular charge to
everybody who has advertising matter,

But this charge in no way relates to
the many columns of stuff which was
printed in the paper for Opsahl
without any cost whatsoever to him.
AS for his suggestion that the
discussion of his Legislative record
be taken up in his front yard, where
he has large commodious porch,

possession of immaculate nerve.
