MERCHANTS FAVOR
AN OPEN SUNDAY
NEE TING LAST NIGHT OPPOSES
RESORT TO LAW TO COMPEL
UNWILLING ONES TO CLOSE
ALL WILL OPEN,

Retail merchants held = meetina
at the Commercial club rooms last
night to discuss the Sunday CLOSING
proposition. There was a goodIy rep.
resentation present nearly all who
had signed the agreement to close
and some who had not The question
at issue was whether or not those
who wished to close should resort to
force 70 compel others to comply.
The question was thoroughly dis
cussed. 1t was shown among other
things that. while the ordinance was
very specific ON the subject, the
state law was not very definite or
strong. and anyway. the sentiment of
the meeting was against resortng to
law To force any one TO close. II
was agreed finally that the matter
be left open for all to do as they
pleased and it is understood that all
will be open again MS usual next Sun,
day forenoon.

THE NEGRO VOTE.

Ex-senator William Nj. Stewart OF
Nevada who drafted the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution at
the United States, has declared in Z
published interview that the repeal
OF that amendment may be brought
about II Mr.. Foraker persists in his
effort to make the negro vote in the
North balance of power in national
elections. Says he;
The loyal men OF the North did
not fight to enable the negro to elect
president in the United Staes. Sena
tor Foraker appears 10 be the frs
man to conceive the idea of using thc
negro to control the balance of power
In the Republican national convention
and after nomination Is made to US
the negro vote in the North to elect
the nominee. The late slave states are
opposed, and viii be opposed, 10 the
negro suffrage, The North will also
be opposed OF negro suffrage ii stht
vote of the colorcd people can be used
80 - buAuhSC Va ppAGi HA tiElAfbnS.
Mr.. Stewart seems to be in error AZ
to what Senator Foraker is doing Of
trying to do. Nothing that he could
do would keep the negro vote from
holding the balance of power" in Ger
tain Republican states, and Illinois
may be among these-as long as the
negro is permitted to vote at ALL The
negro vote has held "the balance Of
power against the Democrats for 10!
these many years. Mr. Stewart and
his colleagues have never expressed
any regret that the Fifteenth amend
ment was adopted. 1t is only when
some one rises to use the vote as
balance Of power against the Repub |
lican machine that Elk Senator Stew |
art is heard from in words of protest |
and regret.

An AGENT Requested

| Congressman Champ Clark was a
passenger recently on a train bound
for Kansas City when he was much
amused by the soliloquy o. an old
chap who, it appeared. was proceed
ing to the city named on certain legal
business. The Journey was nearly
completed when the elderly person
became possessed of the notion that
certain important papers had been
left behind, After a hurried inyesti-
cation of his bag he observed:
IF left those papers behini I'm
a fool!"
A little later he resumed his ex-
animation OF the bags contents. Il
bet It'll turn out I'm a fool" he
murmured, sadly.
When another mile or two had
been accomplished, he rummag d
through the bag once moro, ana as
he turned over the last bundle re-
peated:
II will sure turn out I'm a fool"
At this iuncture a testy lndlyid-
ual occupying the adjoining seat took
a hand. Frowning upon the old
chap who so often offered to wager
that he was fool, the irritable per
son looked over the edge Of his news
paper, and with sarcastic interest
said:
Would you oblige me, sir, by lay
ing little money that SAME way for
me. H. Harper's Weekly.

A farmer, on frosty autumn az
ternoon, went out into his turntp field
and began to gather turnips. The
early sun sank In the west, and as
the blush dusk came on the farmer
perceived at the other end of the
field, two men, who. laying down a

and reassuringly:
