SOUTH CAROLINA MAN RADICAL Tillman Always Has Answer For Those Who Disturb Mini lis Never Smiles. Chicago, 11). Editor Exuminnr; Having heard a speech upon the race question, 1 will attempt to glv your readers, my impression of the senator aud his spoecb of the 21 ult. lu Chicago upon the race question. Having secured Rout lu tho front row, 1 had good opportunity of studying the notorious man. When lie entered the hull there m great ap plauan, knit until ha begau speaking he sat uniuovd like a statue. lie ha a remarkable race, one eye gone, with a mouth turned down like a half moon, giving him a serious ex pression of couuUmance, a though hla life had beau aoured by bin peasi mlHtlo disposition, radical in the ex treme. However, 1 veuturo to Bay, that anyone who ban heard him speak, will give him credit for aiucercity of convlclloua, and bravery in making them kuown In the face of any kind of oppoaltlou. When criticizing which tie U doing moat of the time,) hedoca ho with groat emphusia lu words and jealure, ending by puckering up hla mouth, with a look more sour than vinegar. Should tho audlanco break out In laughter, and applauao he xtauda 1W w.ttu, with oot U lug a Hinile to play upon hla face, only to come back with renewed ve hemence vrtlb auobor casilgutiuu. In the drat part of hia addreas ho ii frequently Interrupted whereup on, quick aa a flush, ho dr.-1 buck an answer appropriate aud elfeo ivu, and after wards during hla iiodreaa he would point hia (Inner at I tu ne name disturbers, and exclaim, anawer that if you dare. During three hours speukiiig he smiled slightly, juat twice, although tho whole house niar:y times was cou vulaud with uproarious laughter. Ouco ho turned around aud faced the reportera and said, "Youug men I Dont garblo my speech. When 1 Bay raviah, put It down that way etc." In maklug a oompariHou betwoeu South Carolina, and Chicago, aa to the dlsiilranchlaemeut of the Negro vote, ho aaid that South Carolina did it out in the open, but Chicago politi 4o NEW, YORK'S BRIDGE OF SIGHS.

A hipocrltlcal play for negro vote, and then delllteratly counted him out after being elected, all ald n lua most bitter, and iiarcaa tlo war. The Senators explannt Ion of . how Booth Carolina (Unfranchised the Negro, waa very amusing to say the lttuHt. lie aald the constitution gue tho Negro the aame legal status aa the white man, but the law aaya that the i state shall regulate the voting, with out any diacrimioatlon of race, or color, therefore the atate of South Carolina passed an elastic reKiatration law, ( tbla statement created (treat laughter, ) making it neceaaary for a voter, white or blue k to le able to uiulerft and the U. H. Couatitutiou when real to them. When a negro came to register, the officials read to him severs! long aud difficult sections of the couatitutiou (sections which able lawyers differ about,) and the aide the Negro if he understood them, and of courao tbo NeKro would say that lie did not. The officials would say to Mr. Negro, that they were leiy sorry, but he hnd tatter go along home. Hut w hen an Ignorant white man cmno along, tho olllcials would read to him, one of the tborteat, aud aim plial sections of the constitution, sim ple aa "Mary had a little lamb," and of course the Ignorant white man cordd register. Senator Tillman however, made some strange irgument why the Cau casian race should, and will always govern tbe dark races, tow it; His tory shows that the Caucasian race has never been governed by the dark races in auy Country on the globe. History also shows, that in the scale of civilization that the Caucision is first, the Mongolian second, Malay third, the Indian fourth aud Negro fifth and lowest. The senator aald that the Southren people in addition to the negro burden which tbey are bearing, have to bear the heavy bur don forced upon the unwilling south by the wblto hypocrita of the north, believing and teaching equality of the race before the law, without thefts selves having to bear any of the bur den, without really knowing what the i Negroes are like when placet on an equality and in authority. The son i ator said that you may believe if you want too, that the Negro was made of as good clay as yourself, but thank CJod he believed he was made of bet tei clay He said to Hell with a law i or fifteenth amendment that tried to ; make white and black equal. He said in cloning, you people of the north , cun do asyou plea ho, about this race question, but that southerners would flow red blood, Defore they would al low themselves to be gorvernod by the African race. While 1 have given you only a few i of the salient features of the speech, all of which 1 thoroughly enjoyed, 1 w ilt say that it waa tbrf most red hot radical speech that I ever have had the pleasure of hearing. H. V. Kebart. ' r-'-yry.B Wrfrri' ' IT. til s- IRRIGATION FOR WEST SIDE OF THE VALLEY. The Hewitt Land Company Back of the Big Project Abandoned by the Government. We are reliably Informed that a par ty is expected here this week who has plans for the Irrigation of the west side of (iooae Lake valley. It Los been shown by previoua articles pub lished in The Examiner that there ia a body of almost level lauds lying on tbe west side of tbo valley comprising (4,0i acres, that is susceptible to ir rigation, aid that the soil is of such character as will warrant tbe expen diture of a sum of money per acre equal to that spent by the government on any of its projects is not doubted by any one, nor waa it doubted by tbe gorvernment reclamation agents who visited this section for the purpose of making inspections preparatory to tie giunlng a government project here; only the size of tbe body of land to be Irrigated kept the government off tbe ground. It was thought by tbe agents that the project was a feasible one, but when their report went to tbe department, the higher officials de: elded that the number of acres of land to bo irrigated was not quit su fllcieut to justify the government tak ing hold of tbe projet at that time, when many larger schemes were await ing their approval, and as Mr. Hitch cock said, tbe money for irrigation purposes was fast becoming exhausted, and he preferred to make a few actual testa before proceeding too far with beginning new projects. When it waa learned that there waa little likelihood of the government un dertaking tbe irrigation of the land on the west akU of 4Joa Lake valley; a aiimbci of tbe business 'men of the The Dont telephone line has been connected with the liuutiug lino, at iteynolds store to lily, where tbey connect with 'the dates system, to Klamath FalK. It is possible now for any one at Plush or the 7T ranch in Warner, or for that matter any of the phones over there to talk direct to Ashland. Lakecounty is connected with a network of telephone wires. M-t&iagos can be sent to auy part of the world from auy part of the coun ty now over either the telegraph line or over the telephone line to Klamath Falls, where it will be transferred to tbo telegraph wire at Ashland. The four-mouths' old baby of Mr. aud Mrs. W. S. Ilartlerode, of Paisley died Monday morning. The little one had oeen ailing for some time but was so much better that it was consid ered out of danger and the parents bad thought it unnecessary to continue to sit up with it auy longer. When they were aroused quite curly Monday morning to go aud ait up with their father ,who is ill they found the little one dead by their side. The bereaved parents have tho symputhy of the en tire community. Tho presidential camera man who accompanied the Presidential party to tbe Panama canal, took a number of interesting pictures on the trip. Amoug tbem, one of Mr. Roosevelt running the stoam shovel, Mr. Roose velt looking over a sretch of country over which the canal is to be dug, aud others ,too numerous to mention. O. L. Withers, of the Paisley Mer cantile Co., cuiue dowu from Paisley lust Saturday evening to see an East ern dry-goods drummer, and order a stock.

His success iu the past assures satisfaction. During tbe bad weather he can be found at bis residence in North Lakeview. Prioos very low. 49-tf country commenced at once to inter ent private capital in tbe project. Some time baa elapsed since the de termination of the government to drop the project, but we are Informed that tbe scheme has never been out of eight of certain capitalists, and .now the coming of this party with plana for the carrying out of tbe scheme, will be a surprise to some only la so iar as it has been kept a secret. Nearly every acre ot the body of I land set aside for that project Is of tbe ! very best of roil, lays easy to irrigate, ' and crops that have been grown on ! the land without water proves that I water will do wonders for that locality. That little body of land nuder irriga tion will produce more than is now I produced in tbe entire county. That j CI, 000 acres of land will make homes for as many people, and more, 'than now live in Lake county. Tbe dou bling of our county's population on 01.000 acres of land, brings startling figures when tbo entire county with its 340, '293 acres, three-tenths of which is agricultnral land, is brought into consideration for irrigation, and too, when it is favored with railroad facilities, aa it is certain to be within a year, if the interest railroad bulld- ' era are taking in the county now counts for anything. The price of land has advanced al i ready from 92 to 85 per acre ' op to from 83 to 810. We have not yet reached tbe 800 and 875 point talked ! of in some parts of tbe West, bat will reach tbat mark as soon aa , any. bind i In tbe west ia worth tbat earn. W. II. Shirk received tbe final offi cial receipt a few daya ago for the money donated by Lakeview to the San Francisco sufferers last spring. Since the uncovering of so much graft iu San Francisco and tbe alleged squandering of large sums of relief money uy tbe so-called administration grafters, it is gratifying to tbe peo ple to know that tbe money sent to the sufferers from here did not fall in to tbe bands of this gang of ' thieves. Lakeviews' donation was sent to tbe governor, who receipted it at once, and stated that it would be turned over to Mr. Phealan. And now Mr. Pbealus' acknowledge m e n t of tbe money comes, assuring the donors that their bequests were not ill-spent. N.

Get together, then, and arrange for a Christmas tree and give tbe young people a good time, and maybe you will get a sack of candy vonrself. Fimicane Bound Over.

Tbe big talk tbat Japan is going to lick tbe United States bas simmered down somewhat. It is claimed now tbat Japan's grievance ia centered on San Francisco for alleged discrimira tiou against Japanese children in the public schools of that city.

If the peo pie of Lakveiew are going to bave a Christmas tree thia year it is about time some movement was made toward preparations.
