LONG RIDES.
The Mighty Feat OF Aubrey and the
Records Of Pony Fxpressmen.

To THE EprfoR OF TEE SuS-Sir: Mr.
Pennypacker errs In saying that the most
| remarkable ride ever made In America wa
that OF W. II. Pearson, who In 1855 covered
i.7So miles In twenty-eight days, during
several Of which he rested. No exploit
In this line can compare with that OF +. X.
Aubrey. who one day In 1881 started from
the plaza in Santa Fe, n. NJ, for Independ-
ence. Mo. He had made a wager OF 81 .ooo
that he would ride the distance In six days
large part OF the way was q sandy desert,
and almost from beginning to end II was
infested by hostile Indians. Hundreds OF
people cheered him whom he started his
horse on dead run. just Ave days and
nineteen hours later lie refined up In the
public square In Independence, was helped
from his horse and half carried into the old
hotel OF that town. He lay for forty-elght
hours In stupor. but his superb physique
and constitution carried him safely through.
He killed several horses on this terrific ride,
which do not believe has ever been eaualled
anywhere in the world. The distance Is
not quite 800 miles.
This talk of riding ninety eight miles in
something like fifteen hours makes the old
pony express riders smile. Jim Moore rode
regularly once a week from Midway Sta
tion, half way between Fort Kearny and
Cottonwood Springs. to Julesburg and back

Senator TILLMAN confesses that hi
ears tingled when Mr.. TAFT referred tc
those gentlemen who deem it neces
cary to affirm that in the interest Of thi'
country the negro race should have nc
education. Mr.. TILLMAN, who would
not be misunderstood or be found in the
class that are utterly lacking in an,
sympathy for the negro, hastens tc
disavow the sentiment:
81 am not opposed to negro education at all
provided ~ Is OF the right kind, knowing tina
educa tlon Increases intelligence and intelligence,
increases The usefulness o; the citizen
At the same time Mr.. TILLMAN is
aghast at the agitation in South Caro-
lima for compulsory education. He is
haunted by the spectre Of negro domi-
nation, although he is not opposed to
negro education at all" The inference
is that it is not the intelligence to vote
that the Senator has in mind, or the
usefulness of the citizen. when he pro-
tests that he is not 80 narrow as to deny
the negro education.
Does Mr.. TIIIMAN really fear the tri-
umph Of the negroes in what he calls
"the contest for supremacy between the
two races? In Louisiana, where prac-
tical Acknowledgement was effected by
substantially the same means as in South
Carolina, there is no such nightmare.
When the new Constitution was adopted,
on May IL, 1893, only three months and
half was allowed TO register under the
grandfather clause" According TO
Mr.. NORMAN WALKER OF New Orleans,
who has written letter on the subject
to the Springfield Republican, the grand
father clause was adopted in Louisiana
for the benefit Of the Acadians, who,
speaking dialect that is neither English
nor French and holding their property
-in community" could not have quail
fled under either the educational or
property suffrage clause. As the Aca-
dians constituted third Of the white
people Of the State and had voted in
telligently for about hundred years
their exclusion was not to he thought Of
Mr.. WALKER says:
Tho grandfather clause ended as far as
the number Of persons voting under 1t IN day Is
inhnitesimal | would state that = number OF
negroes are borne on the registration rolls as
voting under the grandfather clause being the
sons Of negroes who voted In certain Northern
States"
Mr.. WALKER explains the apparent
inconsistency suggested by his state
ment that the number of persons voting
under the clause to-day is "infinitesi-
NAL: The educational system has been
so generally extended throughout the
State that illiteracy is rapidly disap-
pearing, and immigration into the Acs-
dian country has been 50 heavy in the
last ten years that almost all the people
now speak English. Nevertheless in
no part of the State are the whites
borrowing trouble about the political
power Of the educated negroes in the
years TO come.
Wesuspect that Mr.. BENJAMIN r. TILL
NAN is not worrying very much himself.
He knows that the future will take care
II itself, and he is aware that in the last
'esort a property qualification would
TEN the rising tide which in the reveries
II statesman he beholds engulfing and
