if THE lOCK ISIjAKli AltGUB. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1890. .1 'i' J. S I i ; t -5 THE DAIIjY AKGUS JOHN W. POTTER. WgDHIflDAT. January 8. 1890. Ballat Rrftni the . O. P. Matthew S. Quay, of Pennsylvania. ! tbe most astute and able politician in the republican party, aa wall aa one of tbe moil naacrupuloui, correctly remarks the Indianapolis Sentinel. He ia tbe official bead of the national organization, bale chairman of the national eiecatfre com mittee, lie knows the grand old party, not only In Penniylrania, bat through out the coanty. One who la familiar with political matters, therefore, ia not surprised that be should oppose the Aus tralian ballet system. At the last ses sion of the Pennsylvania legislature tbe democrats tried bard to get a law passed establishing this system. It waa de manded by all tbe labor organizations of tbe state, but Boss Quay Issued orders to bis leKislature not to heed tbe demand, and tbe bill waa throttled. Quay can see, aa all men can see who know any thing about Pennsylvania politics, that with such a law the perpetuation of tbe systematic ballot-box frauds, which bare made Philadelphia notorious, could not longer be practiced. Among other astute politicians who see that a secret ballot system, which should require the exercise of any degree of in telligence in voting, like reading or even marking a ballot without assistance, and which would preveot tbe purchase of floaters "in blocks-of-flre," would be a blow at the republican party, are Blaine and Manley, ef Maine, Tom Piatt, of New York, Dudley, of Indiana, and Clarkson, Allison and Wilson, ef Iowa. All of them are doing everything la their power to prevent tbe adoption of the Australian system In their respective statea except Dudley, whose state has already adopted this system In spite of bim, or rather, per baps, because of bim, bis brazen rascality bavins precipitated tbe adoption of the measure. Such representative republican newspa pars aa Mr. Dalttead's Commereitil'QautU and B. Harrison's personal organ, tbe In dianapolis Journal, bave done all in their power against ballot retorm. Last spring tbe Journal left nothing undone to prevent tbe adoption of the Australian system in Indiana, and since It was adopted has lost no opportunity to sneer at it, and to ex cite popular suspicion and distrust of it. Tbe Commereial-OtttttU has printed many furious attacks upon tbe new law from its special Indiana liar, "V. II. S," and is bitterly opposed to tbe Introduction of tbe reform in Ohio. Long before the year 1890 shall bave ended the republican party will be solidly arrayed against tbe "Kangaroo" ballot law, or any other law which requires the exercise of intelligence on tbe part of tbe voter or prevents tbe wholesale purchase of votes. Tbe republican party is a par ty of boodle. It is accustomed to carry tag elections by force, and fraud, and bribery. It bas perpetrated tbe moat gigantic election frauds in history. It stole tbe presidency in 1876 and bought It in 1830 and 1988. Republican success depends upon loose election laws, which will make it easy to commit frauds. Republican majorities are rolled up where bribery and intimidation can be most safely and effectually practiced, as in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Nevada, etc., and where general intelligence and public mortality are lowest, as in Ver mont. It is not at all strange that not one of the great leaders of the republican party not one of its representative pub lie journals is an advocate of ballot re form. Pretty much all the effective ad vocacy it bas had in this country bas come from democratic and labor leaders, and from the democratic and independ ent press. Never before in the history of tbe United Slates bas there been such Winter aa the present, and never before in lu history bave tbe people been af rorded such facilities for travel as are bow given by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. Eight magnificently equipped passen ger trains traverse the Empire State daily, arriving at and departing from Grand Central Station, In the very cen tro of "Tbe American Metropolis."

WasRIXOTON ClTT, Jan. 8. The feature In the bouse proceedings yesterday was the debate on McComas' motion to take up an appropriation bill under the rules of the last house. Mc-Cotnas moved that the bouts go Into committee of the whole on the District appropriation bill, the committee to pro ceed under the rules of tbe last house. To this Breckinridge of Kentucky raised tbe question of consideration, the speaker de cided Br'kiiiridge out of order; the latter appealed, aud the first partisan question of the session was before the bouse. Carlisle Iads the Democrats. Breckinridge then yielded the floor to Car lisle, who attacked the speaker's ruling. He severely criticised the house for its failure to adopt rules. Crisp of Georgia supported Carlisle's argument in a long speech. He said that the minority protested against the practice which entrusted to the speaker the power of determining what was and what was not in order. Republican Arguments. Cannon of Illinois said the bill in question had remained on tbe table for th. eo weeks, and when the Republicans wished to pro ceed with the business of the country, the other side held up their bands in horror be cause there were no rules. McKinley of Ohio said the committee on rules would report a code of rules within a reasonable, time and the only question was whether, while awaiting that report, public business was to be suspended. Henderson of Iowa said gentlemen on the other side were opposed to doing anything without rule, and wanted rules adopted un- der 1 hich nothing could be done. The Speaker Unstained. lhe discussion was continued ror some time on purely partisan lines, and at last s vote was taken, which sustained the speak' f t ruling i;v to 1.4. The vote showed a big lack of a quorum on the Republican side, but it was enough in this case. While th Fight Went On. At times the skirmish was quite bitter. Many Republicans gathered around the head of the main aisle to listen to Mr. Carlisle. Ma J. McKinley made an able speech and the Democrats had a taste of his qualities as a leader. He was grave and dignified and made an excellent impression. His forces overwhelmed him with applause when he sat down. Mr. Carlisle was cheered by similar demonstrations among the Democrats. Along the line it was give and take. (tan. Hender son, of Iowa, waa as furious as an enraged Hon. Crisp, of Georgia, shot several arrows Into the Republican camp and Mr. Hemp hill, of South Carolina, used bis lance for few minutes. It was a lively fight all around, but neither a Uoliath nor a David was developed. Negro Question In the Senate. In toe senate, after the Introduction an. reference of several bills and resolutions. Morgan, of Alabama, spoke at great length on the bill of Senator Butler to provide for the emigration of colored people from the southern states. He expressed himself in favor of voluntary emigration of the colored people from the South, having reached the conclusion that there waa a natural incon gruity and an irrepressible conflict between She races which nothing could curd except their final separation. The return of the negro race to Africa was the final and only solution of the problem. Aversion Between the Races. It wa undeniable that the aversion be tween the races had greatly increased since the abolition of slavory, and it would in crease so long as a large proportion of the population was of the African race. This feel ing was not so intense in the south as in the north. It was not so strong between the negro and his former matters as It was be tween the negro and those who never owned slaves. Africa Their Natural Home. He maintained that Africa was the natu ral borne of the negro, and, quoting the description of the Congo basin from Henry M. Stanley, concluded that that would be tbe best location for the American negroes as, by their efforts, civilization would be more rapidly promoted In Africa than through any efforts of the whites. Morgan maintained that Central Africa seemed destined fur the future conquests of civiliza tion, and complimented the efforts of the king of Belgium in that direction. THE FIRST STATE DINNER.

O. I. Foreign Flashes. Londox, Jan. a The burning of St Mich ael's church at Aix la Chapelle, so closely succeeding the destruction of the Belgian monarch's summer palace at Laekin, has caused great uneasiness in Belgium and Ger many. Both fires were undoubtedly of in cendiary origin, and the rulers of the two countries are now aware that they are in volved in a deadly conflict with a foe by whom every means of injury or terrorising will be adopted. Itad Property to Insure. The striking miners of Belgium and the persecuted Socialists of Germany have in their misery one means of making them selves feared, though open revolt is denied them, and it remains to be seen whether the natural cunning of the proletariat will not he too much for the trained acuteness of the government spies. An English cabinet officer is credited with the remark that palaces and churches will henceforth be very had property to insure, and there is a dread among connoisseurs lest the priceless objects of art in such places be lost to the world through the torch of the reckless incendiary, Prediction of an Upheaval. J ravelers on the continent of late years bave almost universally remarked the sullen and discontented air of the poorer classes.

There are numerous predictions that there will be as great an upheaval of thrones in 1S00 as ren dered the year 1843 famous in revolutionary annals. ANOTHER EX-EMPRESS DEAD.

The death of the dowager Empress A ugusta, which occurred yesterday, although from tbe nature of her illness and considering ber advanced age not unex pected, bas caused a profound feeling of sor row in Berlin. The attack of influenza with which she was seized with the utmost vio lence of the malady gave early Indications of developing into pneumonia and culmin ated in that disease despite the srtenuous efforts of her physicians to avert it. Effect on the Teople. The sopnes in the street after theannounce- tnent of death vividly recalled those following t he demise of ber husband, the late Emperor uliam, and tbe reverential demeanor of the crowds which throng the vicinity of the pal ace strongly suggests a renewal of the ven eration in which the old monarch's memory is held by all Germans, rather than a tribute to the one just dead irrespective of her asso ciation with bim.

It may be nothing more than a mere coinci dence, but it is certainly sigirflcant that many of the means of defense whose applica tion to the Tacus have been suggested by The Debats have been put into requisition by the Portuguese, so that the water way leading to Lisbon teems with torpedoes and hidden obstacles to navigation.

RAISED IN A MOONSHINE REGION, He Develops an Amount of Active Cms, sedness That Makes Him Leader How He Punished a Negro Who Peached Cold-Blooded Murder of an Old Man His Interview with a Too-Outspoken Preacher His Capture and Release. Nrw York, Jan. 8. A special to The World from Atlanta, Go,, says: The re lease of Will Wallace from the jail of Harris county on Sunday morning was in full keeping with his previous career. It was dashing, desperate, and successful. Wallace is a man in middle life, athletic, sinewy, and active. He was raised in tha western por tion of Harris county, one of the few places in Georgia where tbe illicit distiller finds a home, and which, as a consequence, has a large percentage of vicious men among its population. Wallace was the most daring of his fellows and soon came to be recognized as the loader in all things where courage was required. Regius His Career of Crime. About a year ago a colored man reported the existence of one of these "stills." Wal lace essayed tbe roll of detective, caught tbe negro, tied him to a tree and laid on lashes enough to teach him better manners in tbe future. From tbat incident dated a series of outrages uixm netrroes. Midnight visits to the cabins on the large plantations be came frequent, and the lash was used with unsparing vigor. The name of Will Wallace soon became prominent as the man who led the attacks. Tbe murder of Ransom Gordon made action on the part of tbe citizens im perative. Murder of an Aged Negro. f" Gordon was an aged negro, who with his wife had never left the plantation on which they were born. One day near the end of August they were at work in tha cotton yard. A man wearing a mask came down the road. He carried a inchester rifle. As be came near where the old couple were standing, he deliberately stopped, aimed and fired, blowing off the old man's head. Tbe assassin was Will Wallace, The manner of Gordon s taking off stirred up tbe negroes terribly, and they were out at the funeralfin large numbers. The preacher described the murder in flowing words. Shoots the Preacher's Lip Oft. The next day he was on his way to another appointment when he rode right into Wal lace's gang. You seem to be very sorry for Gordon death," said allace. Yes, replied the preacher, "but ven geance belongs to the Lord, and we will leave it to him." "Couldn't you repeat your sermon of yesterday" asked Wallace, raising his rifle. The preacher, thoroughly frightened, dis mounted, and opening his Bible gave out the verses and the hymns, which the desperadoes sang. As a nnale to tbe performance W al lace took aim and shot off tbe preacher's upper lip. The Terror Run Down. The next week notices were served on the negroes on all the plantations around. The utmost confusion prevailed. The cotton picking season was on hand and it was im possible to get labor. The negroes crowded together for protection and many of tbem began to leave. The people of the mountain district called an emergency meeting and organised themselves into a vigilance com mittee. Tilings became so hot for Wallace that be left the county. The governor's re ward set tbe detectives after him and about three weeks ago he was run down by the marshal of West Point, Rescued by His Friends. The incarceration of Wallace in Hamilton jail was ill-timed. It placed him within reach of bis friends. Thus the sun went down on the scene on Saturday night. Wal lace had retired within his cell, which was locked on him. Sheriff Kimbrough went to his home, and all was quiet. It was well on toward Sunday morning when the clatter of hoofs awoke the restless citizens. On every street were to be seen patrols. Around the sheriff house a body guard was stationed. These were sufficient to preserve quiet until the men at the jail had completed tbe work of releasing Wallace. A REMARKABLE DUEL Between a Wealthy White Woman and Her "gro Coachman. Jacksonville, Ills., Jan. 8. Miss Fanny Keener, a young, beautiful and wealthy white girl, was shot through the lungs and hip last night, and probably mortally wounded by her negro coachman. Nathan Fasten. The negro's business relations have been very intimate with Miss Keener. but some trouble bad occurred and last night when Fasten met the young lady he began shooting. Miss Keener drew a re volver and returned the fire, shooting Pasten in the bend and ann. He will also probably died. Miss Keener's brother went to ber rescue and with other assistance clubbed the negro into unconsciousness, when he was taken to jaiL Iriant Is I.lkelj to Hang;. TToonsviLi.E, JJ. II., Jan. 8.

A panic was created among the passengers on the Cam den ferryboat Columbia Monday evening while the vessel was midway in tbe Dela ware river, by a band of steers attacking a fine team of horses attached to a carriage in which were Mrs. Beulah Canfield, Miss Gertrude Browning and Miss Wright. The team became unmanageable and made wild dash to escape from their tormentors. A large numtter of passengers were standing near the railing in the front of tbe boat as tbe infuriated animals dashed forward. Men, women and children tumbled over one another in their efforts to escape from tha path of the team, which dashed through tbe iron railings and plunged overboard and were drowned. Several people were severely Druised. The Ladles Jumped for Life. The ladies in the carriage saved their lives by jumping out before it went overboard. Tbe team and carriage was valued at C3.000. During the uproar the steers that started the trouble rushed into the ladies' oabin and caused some of tbe ladies to faint, although none of them were injured. It was almost miraculous that many persona ware not seriously injured by tbe horses or steers. The latter were from the west and very wild. Derision Against the Standard OIL New York, Jan. 7.
