Negro Disfranchisement in Lousiana.
Atlanta News,
The rather strange news comes from
Louisiana that the legislature of that
State is trying to enact some sort of
legal primary law that will prevent the
purchase and sale of negro t otes in the
primaries of the parties.
Louisiana is one of the six Southern
States that went farthest In the
adoption of a sufferage amendment in
Us State constitution, designed to. dis¬
franchise the negro voters as utterly as
possible- Its action in this respect,
including a “grandfather clause" of the
most liberal sort and an “educational
test” of the meet drastic character, has
been recommended to the people of
Georgia as an example they should
follow.
Now, however, It seems that qual¬
ified negroes have become so numerous
l so willing to vote in anybody’s
»ry whenever sufficiently well
do so, that legal means are
prevent them from beoom-
In* wholesale corrupter* of the else-
tions, even In those held for the nomi¬
nation of Democratic candidates.
This novel development In the fran¬
chise situation In the Pelican Bute,
that was the ft ret to suffer Prom negro
enfranchisement and one of the first to
try for its practical abolition, ehonldgo
far U> convince sensible men that our
Oeorgla suffrage system Is better than
any of those adopted for negro disfran¬
chisement in Louisans and the five
other Southern States that have tried
such schemes. The Georgia tax-paid
requirement and the white primary
custom have absolutely eliminated the
negro from our real elections, which
are the Democratic primaries, and It la
better to be relied upon than the
Louisans plan, most evidently.
Weet Pita Pitting*.
Went Pike, On., July 8.—The cot¬
ton continues firing up and throwing
off the leaves to an alarming extent,
and the farmers are very much dis¬
couraged over the prospect for a cot¬
ton crop. The chances now for a
crop is the poorest for many years
throughout this whole section at this
time of the year. The formers are at
a loss to ascertain the cause unless it
was the strong winds and cold wet
weather during the month of June.
The stalk here doesn't seem to be as
large as It was two weeks ago and It
has not made anything yet, and It
will In all probability be unusually
late tills year.
The corn crop Is unusually good all
through this part of West Pike,
which we suppose means low price
corn and high price cotton tor another
year.
A nice little rain fell here last
evening and the corn Is humping.

Washington, June 29. — [Special.]—
allowance of $25,000 for traveling
for the president Is In a way
acknowledgment by congress of a
to paas a law In the last con¬
Increasing bis salary. Nearly
In both, houses who has
on the subject says that the
of the president ought to be
that he should receive $100,-
a year. Juat before the close of
last congress a movement to secure
Increase was made, but it was
too late. A new term for
began on March 4, and hls
could not be Increased during
term. If that were possible there
not the least doubt such an increase
be made. ( The $25,000 appropri¬
for traveling expenses showed
temper of congress In this regard.
Press ar>d President
There were men In congress who
the president for allowing
men to accompany him on
trips about the country. As a mat¬
ter of fact, the newspapers are respon¬
for having the correspondents on
presidential train. All the press
have a representative, but
that Is all, save some Illustrated pa¬
whose men are guests of the pres¬
ident. All this Is because the people
want to know what the president does
and what he says. If the people did
not want to read about the president
on his travels the newspapers would
not publish anything al>out him, and
the newspaper men would not be sent
with him, As It Is, if the president did
not take the newspaper men on hls
train the newspapers would send a
special train to follow him.
Ons of Morgan’s Rsootlsotlons.
Wlitle a group of senators were sit¬
ting In the room of the committee on
lnteroceanlc canals Senator Morgan
grew reminiscent and told about hls
early experience In the senate. Ala¬
bama. he said, was represented In the
senate after the civil war by "carpet¬
baggers,” and he was one of the first
to defeat that element. At that time
be bad as a colleague Senator Spencer,
who with Roscee ConkUng "cooked up
a deal” to unseat Morgan without mak¬
ing a report or giving the subject any
consideration. Conkling wrote a speech
and Spencer delivered It, pointing out
that Morgan was not legally elected,
it wag quite a bitter speech and at Its
conclusion a vote was taken. Every
senator voted for Morgan except Spen¬
cer, not even ConkUng standing by the
"deal.”
Spencer's Energetio Career.
Some one who knew Spencer recalled
that lie was sutler in a Union regiment
in the civil war, and Morgan said that
he held the same position In an Ala¬
bama regiment. Hts last notable ap¬
pearance was at Bismarck, N. D„
when he appeared with a scheme to
establish a lottery In that state. The
famous Louisiana lottery was about to
be driven out of the Pelican State and
It was looking for a place to operate.
Spencer went to North Dakota and al¬
most succeeded In establishing a great
lottery organization in that state, but
public opinion defeated it when the
people found out what was proposed.
Midnight Wanderers.
One evening not long ago Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania and Senator
Carter of Montana made a trip In an
automobile to Great Falls, about four¬
teen mtlea above the city. On their re¬
turn they had proceeded about three
miles when the machine broke down.
All efforts to fix It were unavailing,
and the two senators started to walk,
with an idea of catching a car or stop¬
ping at "a suburban resort seven miles
out. But the ears had stopped running
and they could not obtain accommoda¬
tions, so they walked the entire eleven
miles. There had beeu a great deal of
rain, the roads were bad, the dogs par¬
ticularly vicious and with no respect
for senatorial trousers or legs. Alto¬
gether it was a long and disagreeable
tramp, and the next time these sena
tors go out In an auto they Intend to
have a repair wagon accompany It.
Brownlow and a Story.
Here is the story which Is told on
Representative Brownlow of Tennessee
and which he denies, but It is too good
to be stifled. One morning the vice
president picked up Brownlow and pro¬
posed to take him to the capltol. Brown
low accepted and on the way the vice
president stopped to make some pur¬
chases. Brownlow remained in the car¬
riage, and some friends passed by and
asked him what he was doiug.
"Just taking a ride In the lee wagon,”
facetiously responded the 2’ennesssce
man.
Just then the vice president came
out, entered the carriage and drove
away with Brownlow. But the story
traveled fast and was soon at the capl¬
tol. Brownlow . heard that It had
reached the vice president and he began
to "get busy.” He rushed over to see
the vice president, but he was shut
up In executive session. So he waited
until adjournment and when he saw
Mr. Fairbanks he explained that the
whole thing was a hoax, « put up job
by some of hls friends, and that he
(Brownlow) was not responsible fot It.
The vice president laughed and said no
damage had been done.

FIGHT DUEL
•BY SUICIDE
The Tragedy of Two Young-Poles Who
Both Loved the Same
Girl.
A tragedy, romantic on the surface,
but In reality throwing a repulsive
light on the hollowness of life In Rus¬
sia, Is reported from Moscow. *
Two young Poles named NLdetzky
and Komorovsky attending a ball giv¬
en by Count Feodorovo were both so
smitten with the beauty of the count’s
daughter that, though friends from
boyhood, they at once became deadly
enemies and before the ball was half
over had detemlned upon a duel to the
death by that most strange but most
deadly of all methods—the suicide of
one of the combatants.
It was decided that the loser of a
game of ecarte should kill himself,
and toward the end of the ball the In
fatuated pair went to ■ the cardroom
for their game at death. In a few
