East Indian Monkeys,

monkeys Of mans appearance is most
interesting. The expression of their
emotions is certainly almost human as
they sit and stare at him. coughing

gesture of adherence and other move
ments Indicative of shocked and cut

expression of absolute horror, which,
coming from those we consider our
still degraded cousins, is to our supe-
riority very aggravating."

A HeaIthfui Costume.

When the Fraser highanders landed
in North America In 1857, it was pro-
posed to change the dress on account
of the cold winters and hot summers.
The officers successfully opposed this
and We're ultimately justified by the
highlanders being the healthiest sol
diers in the army. In the campaign in
Holland in 1894 some regiments lost as
many as 800 from disease. but the
Black Watch, which had 800 recruits
in its ranks. had only twenty-five cas-
ualties, Including the killed in battle.

A 6REAT SACRIFICE,

Mr.. Stuart while memberof the Con-
stitutional Convention repeatedly prom
ised the people that no clause should bs
written into the new constitution that
would deprive any honest white man,
mo matter how poor or uneducated bs
might be-" Of the right to vote. Inro-
Spouse to this promise he was active in
placing in the constitution the "under-
standing clause" which he claimed to
be an enabling act that would enfran-
chise all the white voters. He also
helped to place in the constitution tbe
temporary property qualification, and
the now permanent poll tax and educa-
tional qualifications.
There are about fifty thousand white
men OF Vsting age in the Ninth Con-
gressional district, and ut no slestion
held since the new constitution was pro-
claimed have more than twenty-seven
thousand white men voted in the Ninth
district. What has become of the other
twenty-three thousand white men of
voting age in the Ninth district? Have
they voluntarily surrendered their suf-
frsge rights, or have they been disfran-
chissd by the understanding clause, B"
the poll tax clause or the educational
claussf These are questions the people
should require Mr.. Stuart to answer.
The Hon. Joseph C. wysor, who an
nounced in the beginning that he would
not give his consent to the understand
ing clause" late in the session of the
convention yielded his consent to the
same influence that had gained Mr..
Stuart's approval soon after the con-
vention assembled.
On April 1, 1902, when the "under-
standing clause" was being debated on
the floor of the convention, Mr.. Wysor. !
in part, said:
Il want to say something about the |
white section. We have made sacri-
1ce to the Black Belt. want the Black
Belt to be impressed with the fact. We
don't need any understanding clause.
and we didn't need anything other than
N 'nhood suffrage. We have our people
inder this understanding clause for the
benefit OF the Black Belt. Is that max

VIR6INIA'S ELECTION LAWS,

Virginia has the most partisan and
unfair election laws Of any State in the
Union. The new constitution was claim
ed to have been made largely fer thu
purpose of purifying elections and civ.
ing the people honest elections. How
can we have honest elections if the law.
under which they are held are not hon
est
The new constitution provides for
Electoral Boards in each county and
city, to consist of three members. These
boards appoint the judges and clerks of
election and the commissioners to count
and certify the returns. To make this
law fair the Republican, or minority
party in the State should have been
given one member of each of the Elec-
toral Boards in the State. A Republ;-
can member of the Constitutional Con-
vention offered an amendment TO the
report of the suffrage committee pro-
viding for minority representation on
thsse boards, and Henry C. Stuart, who
was a member Of the convention, voted
against the proposition to give the Re-
puhlicans membership on the boards.

Republicans and honest Democrats Of
the Ninth?
Inc proposition was made in the con-
Vention to give the Republicans one
clerk Of elections at each precinct in the
state. Strange to say, this proposition
was made by Mr.. Stuart, and was the
only righteous act he cid iu connection
with the making Of our suffrage and
election laws. He stated on the fioorof
the convention that this was necessary
to protect the Republicans from fraud
at the ballot box. But, on the demand
OF the Eastern Democrats he receded
from an honest position and voted ss aiost

ton is in direct opposition to every te.
net Of d smOcrscy.
Tcese two paragraphs show conclu.
siyely one of two things:
1. That there was some d .rpocrat
writing Cor the Lebanon News v no was
striving TO be honest; that he knew the
sentiment in Russell was overwhelming
" against proclamation and that he had
heard of the secret purpose to pass that
resolution to relieve MIR. Stuart from
the odium which would follow the VIC
lation of his pledge for submission. Or
2 That the paragraphs were pub
iished, along with the two short notices
calling the meeting, 70 deceive the peo-
pie as to the true intent and purpose Of
the meeting.
Another suspicious circumstance is.
that Mr.. Stuart in his speech made no
reference to the question of proclama-
ton; and left the meeting as soon as he
finished his address, to furnish an op-
portunity for carrying out the program
that hid been previously agreed upon.
There ID still another suspicious cir
cumstancs. The Lebanon New, was
published on the 9th of May, 1902, three
days after the meeting WAS held. The
proceedings were not published 10 that
issue, but were held over until the 18th
Of May, 1902, ten days after the meet
ing. Why was this dons3 Is there anv
reasonable answer, except a desire to
let interest in the matter wane and con-
ceal the real character of the work
done?
Dir. Stuart and his friend. have dis
credited themselves in a futile effort to
discredit Mr.. johnson.
MIR. johnson was a reputable citizen
as long as he was a Democrat. He was
reputable and honorable when he was
made secretary Of that meeting. He
was reputable and honest when he was
thrice elected magistrate in his and Mr..
Stuart's magisterial district in Russell
each time being elected by an increased
majority. He was reputable and hon.
orable enough last year to be elected by
the people Of Russell county as their
representative in the Legislature, when
he carried his own precinct, which had
formerly been the banner Democratic
precinct in Russell. He did not become
disreputable and untruthful in the es-
TEEN Of Mr.. Stuart until he became q
Republican and exposed the receptions
of Mr.. Stuart.
A fair and intelligent public must say
that the facts and circumstances are
favorable to Mr.. Johnson, and are not
creditable to Mr.. Stuart and his infatu-
ated followers. Johnson's report of the
meeting il much more reasonable than
is Mr.. Stuart's.
