X SUFFRAGE IN TEE SOUTH.
The Democratic press of New Or
leans ia a unit in opposition to the new
suffrage' amendment reported to the
Democratic caucus of the Louisiana
Legislature.
"This proposed amendment to the
constitution provides that the voter:
"Shall be an intelligent person, uo-
- derstanding the principles of our gov
ernment, and understad or interpret
' the constitution of this state when read
' to him, or shall be a bqna fide owner
of property, real or personal, located
in the state and assessed to him for
the year next proceeding the election
at a cash valuation of not less than
, $200."
Itia frankly admitted by the New
Orleans Times-Democrat and the Pica
yune that this is an attempt to dis
franchise the greater part of the negro
vote, and with that purpose both these
papers are in sympathy. But the edi
tors of these papers, like many other
white men in the south, says an ex
' change, are beginning to see the dan
ger of such trickery in politics, for it
already begins to react on the better
class of white citizens. The constitu
tional convention of Mississippi adopted
this "understanding clause" that the
' negroes might be disfranchised and the
ignorant whites allowed to vote. The
register of voters is the judge of a
voter's qualification. This amendment
clothed that petty official with absolute
power to make np the list of legal
voters.
He can read to a negro a section of
the constitution relating to the juris
- diction of courts over which even the
iudses on the bench may differ.. To
the white man the register may read a
simple article which any man can un
- derstand. This was a very simple way
of maintaining white supremacy as
Jong as it was used simply for that
r purpose. But the division of the white
voters into factions has awakened the
better class of citizens to the danger
-of clothing a petty politician with the
absolute power of making np the list of
voters. -' "Who will vouch for the
honesty of the register of voters?" asks
the Picayune, and proceeds as follows:
"Of course it is understood that this
arbitrary and absolute censorship of
suffrage, this setting up in each par
ish of a dictator whose decree sh ill
confer or take away at bis soverign
: will the right to 'vote, is intended to
beat the negroes; but what guaranty is
there, to take a narrow view of the
matter, that his decision will not be
' used against the whitebf
The Times-Democrat asks the same
. question:
"Can we feel certain that this tricky
clause will, not be used some day
against the whites themselves in many
"parishes by officers who wiahto con
tinue themselves in power?"
What is true of Louisiana is true
of all the southern states. The better
class of citizens are awakening to the
danger of clothing election officers
with the power to make up the lists
" of voters. The cry of negro domica
tionis losing its hold upon the whites
- since in Alabama, South Carolina,
Virginia, Louisiana and Mississippi,
. small cliques of officers-holders have
used it to perpetuate their power and
disfranchise white men by the same
trickery they employ against the neg
roes They are learning that trickery
in politics thrives without the aid of
tricky laws, and that sucii a constitu
tional amendment as that adopted in
Mississippi and proposed for Louisiana
is a greater danger to the south than
the negro vote. Some leading Repub
Jican papers nave time and again
pointed out this danger of class dis
crimination to the southern whites,
and we are glad to note that sucn
papers as the Picayune and Times
' Democrat in New Orleans have taken
a bold stand against it.

Poisoni-d to Death.
Friday evening about 7 o'clock, Clerk
Edwin Larks, of the Hotel Sommer, wa3
horrified to find one of the guests of the
bouse sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking. The man was Dr. Adam Franke,
who registered there last Monday, lie
claimed to be interested in sheep raising
and mioing,and papers found in his room
showed hnu to have been both a - Mason
and an Jd Fellow, and a former mem
ber of lodges in Likeview, Oregon, where
he was a well-know i practicing Diiysi "
cian. Another psper proved that in 1807
be was a surgeon in the United Slates
navy. The man was well dressed aud
gentlemanly, but at tbe time of his sud
den death he had but seven cenls in
money iu his possession. La Grande
Chronicle,
It is supposed that this is the same Dr.
Franke who mysteriously disappeared
from Antelope about a year ago, and has
not been heard ot since At tbe coroner's
inquest held the next day the facts were
brought out that he had come to the hotel
on the Monday previous, and had the ap
pearance ot having been on a protracted
spree. He said be bad come from Idaho,
was a periodical drinker, and had beeo
trying to drink all the whisky between
Huntington and La Grande. The jury
returned a yerdict that Adam Franke, de
ceased, came to his death by an overdose
of some kind of medicine taken by ' him
to produce sleep, and administered by his
own band.
Tbe deceased bad several small medi
cine cases containing a number ot bottles
of unknown medicine. He was a mao of
fine address and build, weighing perhaps

time, aod ever sine ) the Great Northern
road reache 1 Spokane, it ha been sur
mised that he would eventually succeed in
sec ring an entraace'fo this city over the
Oregon Railway & Navigation line As
long as the Union Pacific had contr 1 of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation' Company he
could not, or ould not, make the necessary
arrangement, but when the O. R & N.
passed into the band-- of Receiver McNeill,
and became virtually and independent or
ganization, Mr. Hill's "ppo tunity came.
He bas hastened to take advantage of it.
It is known that negoti .tions have been
in progress, and it is considered certain
that be has effected a traffic arrangement
with the O. R. 4 N. Co., covering both
freight and passengers, to Portland and
other Pacific coast points, to go into effect
after tbe dama e by the flood to the O. R.
ft N. Co's line alo g the Columbia has been
repaired. That will be irt about 30 days,
and in a out that time it may be considered
as 8sur.d that passenger Cars of the Great
Northern will oe running direct from St.
rauiand vi lnneapoaa into tbe nnion depot I
here, and freight cars in connection with all I
roads entering this city. The connectio .
of th- Great Nor hern with the O. R & N.
will be made at Spokane, where both roads
haze fine terminal facilities, using the
Spokane nnion passenger depot.
Dethroned Reason.
Ocaoco Review.
' Last Tuesday morning Alexander McClov
waa examined before Judge Brink 'by Dr.
Virgil Belknap, and was. adjudged insane.
He was committed to the asylum, aod Sher
iff Combs started Wednesday for Salem
.with tbe nnfortunate man. Mr. McCIoy
has been living alone on Matoles a number
of years past aod bas exposed himself a
great deal. He also used tobacco excessive;
ly, which, together with his rough manner
of living,' the doctor ascribes as the cause of
hia insanity. He put up at I. L Ketchnm's
place Monday night, and toward morning
Tuesday attempted to kill himself by sever
ing the radical artery of his left wrist.- Dr.
,
Beiknap was summoned and took np the
artery befose there was much loss of blood,
preventing any serious results. It is re
ported that be attempted to commit suicide
about a year ago. but was prevented by
timely interference of others. He is ao in
offensive appearing old gentlemen, in tbe
neighborhood of 60 years ot age, aud al
though his miod has been failing for some
time, is dangerous only to himself.

IN MEMORIAM.
Lines :n memory of Earl Hill, aged 22
months, 12 days, by H. H.
We had a little blossom,
He came to us one day ;
He made ns very happy.
For we thought h.'ii come to stay.
But we were siullv disappointed
When about two years had passed,
An angel came to claim him
And took him home to rest.
The precious little rose bud
Came forth but to decay
To flourish in the morniug,
And wither in the day.
We miss our little dirling
In our lonely, quiet home
Since he went away to heaven
And lelt us bere alone.
But we must be submissive
To what the Lord bas done.
Although He, in His wisdom,
Has taken our darling one.
When onr wo;k is over.
And we've reached the heavenly shore,
We'll meet there Earl, our darling,
To part again no more.
