At the Second precinct of Jnckson ward a
colored man was stopping nt the door of the
booth ns tlio whlto line came up , the door
was raado expressly narrow so that two mon
coald not pass , a colored man Jostled n whlto
man , nnd before the colored man
coald bnvo struck the white man ,
had ho over had the faintest suspicion or
doing so ho vtns ctught by the nape of the
neck nnd shot out Into tbo middle of the
street ns from n catapanlt ; ho landed where
the daraago wns lent to his person , nnd Im
mediately the rolico formed around him nnd
promptly collared him again nnd hustled blm
off to the nearest station before really ho
knew what had happened to him The spec
tators gathered around , too , nnd for a mo
ment it looked ns there m'ght bo trouble
Hut there was none The prlnciplo lind been
established that tlio white man had precedent
in voting and the colored man simply gave
up
up.Ono amusing Incident occurred nt the
third procmct It wns late in the nftornoon ,
and there were probably some thrco hun
dred colored men waiting to vote A special
officer pulled out his watch ; Seven minute
past four , " said lie , and the sun sots nt six
l minutes past ilvo " Ho cast his cyo along
i the line The question only Is how many
can bo shut out
A newspaper correspondent suggostcd to
him , "II you dent tnko care you will shut
out some of your whlto voters "
II 1 that's so 1" said ho , Ho walked over
to the whlto line , nnd n moment later the
voting of the whlto line began very briskly
ngain
Is it necessary to say that all these whlto
mon voted !
At the Second precinct a ward superintendent
tendent" approached the sorgoantIn charge
of the wblto line ; a big negro walked beside
him
him."What
What has ho donol" nskod the sergeant
Nothing , " nnsworcd the superintendent ;
"ho has como to vote the Mcliinncy ticket ,
and I want you to inalto a plnco for him "
The colored man was put at the head of
the whlto line , and not two minutes there
after his vote was polled It makes nil tlio
difference in tha world , iu the Jackson ward
( if .sou are a colored man ) , wnnt ticket jou
are voting
At sunset , when the polls were closed and
thatfarcoof voting ended , the line of col
ored men watting to vote was as long as it
had been when the polls opened at sunrise
And yet McKinncy , in all Virginia only re
ceived 43 000 majority I
It had been expected ns tlio dny were on ,
nnd the policemen were congratulating them
ROlvcs on the general quietness of the elec
tion , that trouble would uriso iu the evening ,
when the result of the election would bo an
nounced Great bodies of poliurmon nnd
specials were massed around tno various
newspaper offices ; but there was no trouble

T1115Y WONT K.NOVV WHAT TO DO
Iowa's Patty Managers flailly inNoctl
of nn Ideti
Drs Moinfs , In , Nor 17. [ Special Telo-
gratn to Tun Brccl The uppermost question
in Iowa now , is prohibition Six weeks ago
no one would have supposed that republicans ,
as well ns democrats , would bo sitting up
nUhts at this time to dctonnino what is the
bestcourso for the party and , beat for the
stnto But the result of the election has by
common consent been interpreted ns mean
ing that prohibition must receive some con
sideration from the next legislature
Prohibition was not the only thing that
caused republican defeat , but it was the
chief thing It has also brought the party
ocrilously near to defeat sovcr.il times in the
Inst few i cars , and that fact is now being
recognised
The extreme prohibitionists , of course , are
unvt lllinc to admit that prohibition had much
to do with republican defeat this year They
put a great deal of blomo upbn the railroads ,
and talk'ubout the stUy-nt-home vote ,
The difference between the republican
vote last J car and this year , was about
1U,000. But there is alwuys a largo stay-at-
tiomo vote the year after every presidential
election Mno difference between tbo re
publican vote in 1830 and 1831 , was over
60,000 , bnt in spite of that , , the republicans
elected tholr governor that year , (1681) ( ) , by
almost 00,000 plurality
A good many republicans did not vote nt
this lata election , because they did not want
to vote a democratic ticket , ana they would
not vote the republican ticket and for pro
hibition any loagor
Put the question now is , what is going to
be donol Republicans are asking it Democrats
crats- are asking it Prohibitionists and
antl-prohibitionUts are asking it Each side
is waiting to see what tlio other will propose
Now things can safely bo predicted , what
ever change is made in tbo present law , It
will not bo a very radical cbango , and second
end , whatever change is made , will bo the
result of a compromlso Neither party is in
a position to force through unaided , any
very radical change In the law The parties
are too nearly balanced for that Tbo demo
crats themselves ore not agreed as to what
they want There are some democrats , two
or thrco , members of the next house , who
are personally very strong prohibitionists
They will not consent even to a democratic
measure that completely surrenders every
thing They will likely stand for some com
promlso such as the republican majority may
accept , retaining all that is good in the pres
ent law and making such additions ; to it as
will adapt it to the localities where prohi
bition is now a dead lcttor
No ono is prepared to present In detail
just yet , a plan ready made , but there is
much favorable talk of some suob course as
this : It is proposed to lot prohibition remain
as the law of the state ; lot it bo the settled
policy of Jowa in treating the liquor ques
tion , so far as nnd wheroverpublic scntlmont
will sustain and enforce it Then provide , in
addition , that any county where a larger
majority of the people do not want prohibi
tion nnd will not enforce it that such county
may * upon a petition of a majority of its citi
zens , have a special election once ln two cr
three years to vote upon the question of
license Then if a lartro majority , say two
thirds or threo-fourlhs , declare in favor of a
license , a license whoso amount , has already
hoen fixed by tlio legislature may bo Imposed
to contiouo/or tbo period ngioort upon
The dozen or flftooa counties that do not
onforiio prohibition , that do not want it , so
far as public sentiment can bo ascortaiood ,
would , if permission were granted , vote for
a license und reemvo the reyonuo which the
saloon * would be compelled to pay

horses are numerous and in good condition ,
and the few hogs and pigs nro fat nud sleek
The sago brush bus disappeared and well

West of Pocatello , the first important sta

midst of a vast plain covered with grass and
sago brush This is is the far-famed Snake
river valley containing about 0,000.000 acres
of land susceptible of the highest cultivation
when irrigated , exceeding the arable land of
Egypt by 1,000,000,000 acres As that coun

population of 0,0J0,00O , with exports
amounting annuully to 291,000,000 , poundB
of cotton , 100.000,000 pounds of sugar ,
raising 1CSS,600 farm animals , and every
cereal , fruit , and vegetable under the sun ,
It is not difficult to perceive the possibilities
of this great valley whoa fully occupied and
possessed by man The station Is also the
seat of the great stock ranges of Idano , nnd
hero colonies can bo planted and maintained
on tbo most extensive scale As in the case

MONKKXS AS MINERS
I low They j Are Used In the South
Cnrnlitfa Gold Diccitur- " .
Some time ago a friend told mo that
monkeys worft'einploycd in the gold
diggings of faputh Carolina , says the
Philadelphia jniipios Ho wove for mo
a very intcva-itiug account of their
luborB audiof-their value us laborers
Captain B. Motz , who was horn in
Yankooland , tolls tljo story of the queer
little animals who work for him iu the
mines He is a typical New Englandcr
from Vermont , and served in the union
army , and settled in the south after the
war His mines are situated near
Chesterfield , in South Carolina , about
twenty miles off the railroad "I have
twenty-four monkeys , " said ho , employed
ployed nbout my mines They do the
work of seven able-bodied men , and it
is no reflection upon the human
laborers to say that they do a
class of work a man cannot do as
well in many instances they lend valu
able aid where a man would bo useless
They gather up the small pieces of
quartz that would bo passed uunoticed
by the workingmen , and pile thorn up
in little heaps that can bo easily gath
ered up in a shovel and thrown into
the mill They are exceedingly adopt
at catching the little particles , and
their sharp eyes never escape the very
things that the human eye would pass
ever
When I wont to digging gold I bad
two monkeys that were exceedingly in
teresting pots They were constantly
following mo about tbo mines , and ono
day I noticed that they % voro busily on-
gngod in gathering up little bits of
quartz and arranging them in piles
They socmod to enjoy the labor very
much , and would go to the minus every
morning and work tbo re during the
day My two pots had not worked very
long , before I decided to procure
moro So I immediately imported
a number , and now have two
dozen working daily in nnd about
the mines It is exceedingly interest
ing to watch my two pot monkeys teach
tlio novvoncs how to work , and stranger
still to see how readily the newcomers
take to it Strange to Bay , they control
themselves They work as they please ,
sometimes going down into the mines
when they have cleaned up nil the
debris on the outside They live and
work together without qunrroling anymore
moro than mon do They are quito
methodical in their habit s and go to
work and quit like true workingmen
They need some care and I have a col
ored man to suponntond thorn He
feeds them and looks well after their
comfort They have their meals regu
larly nnd eat -inireh the same character
of food as humaivboings do Corn bread
is a great favorite with them They
ole nn up about the mines , foil
low the wheolbarrowa nnd carts
use in mintage and plok up every
tiling that falls oil along the
wvy No ono wljohaa not soon thorn can
oven lmagiuq tfio wonderful intelligence -
gonco they display and the neatness nnd
clcnnllnoss Wjh , which they perform
their work Nothing escapes them
Every littloptirtiblo is picked up nnd
cared for Thoy"go down into the mines
and como out us the nlonso They uro
friendly with the > ; workliigmon employed
there , but ufc ! exceedingly shy witli
strangers Thbyiaro mot excellent do-
toctlvos , nnd riooworkmnn can got on
good onoughi-kernis with thorn to carry
away u niece of quartz , The mon fro
auontly uttomptit just for sport , to see
the monkeys gotnfter them and chatter
until they nut down whatever they may
have In tholr hands It is strange toseo
how they will diserlminato between the
tools used by the workingmen nnd a
piece of quartz They only hoop tholr
eye on and make a fuss about what they
must recognize as my property I would
not part with thorn , because I do not
kuow their place ftould ho supplied ,
Certainly not by human bolnga "

Our Christian Horltngo" is the tltlo of n
rcmarkablo book from the pou of Cardinal
Gibbons , tbo dlstlngulscd prlmato of the
Catholic ohurch in America It Is roinnrk-
able because it Is not distinctly sccturlun ,
butnbioad , forceful and eloquent plea for
the oievnting prlnciplos of chrlsttinity Jn-
deed , the cardinals arguments ogalnst the
godless teunonoy of the tlmos can bo on-
'dorsedanttoinployod by all creeds nnd do-
ndmlnhtions , and many of the conclusions
ronclied hitvo boon ndvocatod by Protestants
Naturally a book coming from
such a high source has attracted
widespread attention , and will occa
sion comment U3 well as controversy Yet
the views therein cturcssod on the leading
questions of our time arofamiliar to the neo
tile ot this country They have been iterated
by the cardinal on sovornl occasions during
the past ton years A broad liberality , an
ardent love of liberty nnd n chrl9tl.ui respect
far the opinions of different creeds Is a
marked feature of every cbupter Tlio key
notu of the bnok is religion , pure homes , in
dustry , sobriety , law and order , hotter edu
cational facilities nnd an uncorruptcd ballot
In the closing chapter on the dignity of
labor the cardinal thus addresses the labor
ing man :
"Ctiltlvato a spirit of industry , without
which all tlio appliances of organized labor
uro unavailing , A life of patient industry Is
jBuro to bo blessed with a competence , If It is
Jtjnt | crowned with abundant remuneration ,
' The majority of our loading moa of wealth
nro Indebted for their rot-tunes to tholr own
industry Take an active , personal , consci
entious interest in the business of your em
ployer , and thq moro you contribute to his
bucco3s the better can ho afford to compen
sate you for vour services Ho will bo im
pelled to requlto you with agonoious hand
Foster habits of economy nnd self denial
No matter bow modest your Income may bo ,
always live under It You will thus protect
your liberty and business integrity , and
guard yourself ncninst the slavery of debt ,
While honestly striving to hotter your
, condition , bo content with your station in
life , and do not yield to an inordlnnto dcslro
of abandoning your present occupation for
what is popularly regarded as a moro at
tractive avocation A feverish ambition to
accumulate a fortune , which may bo called
our national distemper , Is incompatible with
peace of mind
Sobriety will bo nn angel of tranquility
to yourself and family "
Above all let rolicion bo the
queen of your household When the
evening of life has como and your earthly
labors are drawing to n close , it will cheer
ij'ou wita the bright prospect of an eternal
sabbath
Hoforring to the universal tendency to
ward combination on the part of corpora
tions , the cardinal says : "It is quito natural
that mechanics and laborers should follow
their example It would bo as unjust to
deny to worklngmen the right to band to
gether because the abuses incident to such
combinations us to wltnhold the same from
capitalists because they sometimes unwar
rantably try to crush or absorb
weaker rivals " Publio recognition
among us of the right to organize ,
impl.os a confidence in tlio intelligence
and honesty of the masses ; it affords
them an opportunity of trainlag themselves
in the school of self-government , and in the
art of self-dlsciplino. It takes nway from
them every excuse and pretext for the
formation of dangerous societies ; it inspires
them with a sense of their responsibility as
citircns , and with a laudable desire of merit
ing the approval of their fellow citizens
* God forbid that tbo nrerogatlves which I
am maintaining for the working classes
should bo construed as implying the slightest
invasion of the rights and autonomy of em
ployers There should and need not bo any
conflict between labor and capital , since
both are necessary for the publio good , und
the ono depends on the co operation
of the other A conflict between tbo
employer and the employed is as
unroasonnblo and as hurtful to the social
body as a war between the head and the
hnnds would bo to the physical body "
" \ \Vhosoo\ tries to sow discord between
the capitalist and the laborer Is an enemy of
social order Every mcasuro should there
fore bo discountenanced that sustains the ono
at the pxdciiso of the ether * ' The cardinal
vigorously denounces grasping corporations
wherein personality is ovorsbadowed and in
dividual responsibility lessened They
compel operatives to work for starving
wages , especially In mining districts and
factories , where protests have but a feeble
echo nnd are easily stifled by Intimi
dation In many places the corpora
tions are said 'to have n monopoly
ely of tbo stores of supply , where
exorbitant pripos nro chni gcd for the neces
saries of life ; bills are contracted which the
workmen are unable to pay from their scanty
wages , and their forced Insolvency places
thorn entirely at the mercy of their task
masters " Strikes ho consldors ot best a
questionable remedy for laoorer's griev
ances , boycotting an assault on liberty and a
violation ot justice , nnd arbitration the ono
safe road to pcaco and harmony
Of the dangers which threaten our Ameri
can civilization , tbo cardinal says : "If our
government und legislation are permeated
and fortified by divine revelation and
chrjetian traditions , we can not ignore the
fact that they nro assailed by unbollof , im-
plcy and socialism , Wo are confronted by
ilvo great evils Mormonism and dlvorco ,
which strike at the root of the family and
society ; an imperfect aud vicious system of
education , which undermines the religion of
our youth ; the dlsecratlou f the christian
Snbbatb , which tends to obliterate in our
adult population the salutary fear of God
and the homage that we ewe Film ; tbo gross
nud systematic cloction frauds ; nnd lastly ,
the unreasonable delay In carrying into effect
the sentences of our criminal courts and the
numerous subtcrfugos by which criminals
evade tha oxccutlon of the law Our In-
satlablo grcod for gain , the coexistence of
colossal wealth with abject poverty , tbo ex
travagance of tbo riuh , tbo discontent of the
poor , our eager und impetuous rushing
through life and every otbor moral and ( so
cial delinquency may bo traced to ono of tbo
ilvo radlcal'vlces enumerated above * * •
The ballot is the expression of the will of
a froa people , and its purity should bo
guarded with the utmost Jealousy , The re
peated cry of election frauds is ono full of
warning ' Frauds uro attempted , and too
often successfully upon the ballot It Is the
gravest menace to free Institutions De
fective registration laws and negllgonco to
secure the ballot box by careful legal enact
ments ln part account for such a state of
affairs A priino cause is that tbo bettor
class of citizens so often stand aloof from
practical politics and tbo conduct ot cam
paigns , The violation of the purity of the
iballot box leads dircotly to the point wboro
there Is plthor loss of liberty or revolution
to restore It "
