It is only necessary for any intelli gent man to now read the newspapers that have supported! the Simmons Daniels schemes of disfranchisement in this state to discover that the campaign for the proposed constitutional amend ment is in a bad way.

This is jiegro domination making white menvictims of an al leged anti-negro scheme of disfran chisement, and turning the control of the state over to counties that have an excess or negro population. 1 A 1 Against the array of legal talent the greatest In constitutional law that this country has produced our friend's the amendment makers have ceased to con tend that the portion, of their amend ment scheme that pretends to "protect" white voters is constitutional. Their newspapers have ceased ,to argue the question. In place of fair and reason able discussion of the amendment they are "devoting their energies to exciting race prejudice. In this we are pleased to believe that they are making little headway. All there was in-that "is sue," and considerable more, was work ed threadbare In 1898. It was a fraud then; it is a farce now. GOEBEL'S ASSASSIN. Those who read yesterday's accounts of the doings In Frankfort, K.y., no ticed that "Colonel" Jack Chinn had filed a suit for slander against a wo- man wno iccusea mm ox troeoei murder. A letter from Kentucky to a New York paper some time ago re hearsed some alleged facts In connec tion with Goebel's murder which have a curious bearing1. , These were that no autopsy had been made nor coroner's Inquest held, hut that the first physi cian who examined Goebel stated that the appearance of his clothing show ed that the shot came from in front. Another physician asserted that Goebel wore a coat of mall. Several witnesses were quoted to the effect that one of his companions, who had said that he was at his side at the time of the shooting, had In fact gone ahead and was In the entry of the court house. Upon these and similar assertions a theory was built 'that the shooting had fKooTi dnno not with Intent to Kill DUt toy Goebel's friends who dtesired to in troduce sensational episode into the gubernatorial tsoritest, and who ex pected Goebel's coat of mail would pro tect him. If it la true that no coroner's inquest or autopsy washeld, a grave omission was made. Evidence which would set these rumors definitely at rest could easily have been obtained! at an Inquest or an autopsy. There are cer tainly many mysterious things connect ed with this murder done by daylight in a public Street, and many contra dictory accounts have already been published. The trial of Whittaker likely to prove sensational. is GOEBEL AND HIS ELECTION LAW. Mr. Goebel got the nomination eovernor by deception, trickery for and force; that many of the best people in Kentucky forswore his party when he became its hnead; that he fathered an election law which in the hour of his (burial his most devoted worshipp?is agreed to repeal because of its unfair ness. "We understand that the man whom he killedi was found to be un armed. ! ! ! Mr. Goebel may have made ant'l-gambling laws but when shot he fell into the arms of a notorious gambler and cut-throat, his boon com panion; he may have been incorrupta ble, but he made an election law that was the legalization of corrupion; he may have been a total abstainer, but he was the Idol of the liquor element. He did fight one ' corporation, but others fought for "htm ; and It is not yet in ev idence that Tie ever fought for any thing nobler than personal power. Biblical Recorder.

ANTE-MORTEM REQUESTS. That Disposition People Have Asked to be Made of Bodies. Special Correspondence Chicago Rec ord. Sir Charles Hastings, the famous In dian soldier, ordered that after his death his body should he wrapped in anything that -would hold it together buried in an open fieM and the soil around him planted with acorns so that he might render a lasting service to his country by nourishing a. good English oak. Lord Camelford, a famous English duelist of the last century in England, directed that his body should be taken to Lake 'St. Lampierre, where there were three trees under which he had spent many years in contemplation of the sublime scenery thatv surrounded him. He requested that the middle tree should be taken up until his body was deposited under it, when it should be replanted all of which was done. A farmer named Stevenage, in Hert fordshire, England, who died a,bou't 1720, was possessed of a notion that he was to take a thirty years' nap, so he J 1 1 1 tr . m m uireciea nis can in 10 oe piacea upon a beam in his barn with a lid that lock ed, anxl that the keyshould toe push ed through a hole in the" coffin in order that he might let himself out when he' awoke, .t the expiration of thirty years, as the old fellow showed no signs of coming back to re-enjoy life, his friends put him under the turf to make sure of him. Jeremy Benthami bequeathed his body to his friend, Dr. Southwood Smith, to be dissected and lectured upon for the benefit of medical students and the general public. His wishes were pbeyed and his skeleton was afterward put together and dressed fn his old clothes. Seated in his favorite chair arid holding in one hand his pet stick, the philosopher was placed in a her metically sealed glass case and for some years was a quiet visitor in the house of Dr. Smith, m Finsbury square, London. A Major Hook, of the East India com pany service in London was entitled by the will of a relative to an annuity of 400 a year until his wife was bur ied. To fulfill the terms of this im portant document after her death h caused her body, to be embalmed, seal ed up in a glass case and placed in the upper, chamber of his house, where it remained for thirty years, but no per son was ever permitted to enter the room tv here It lay. A similar case occurred In 1863, when a woman who had been dead for nine teen years was buried in St. George's cemetery, Hanover square. A near rel ative left her an annuity "of 250 a year as long as she remained; on earth, but after her death her husband, unwilling to lose his wife's income, hired a small room . over some stables In South Aud- ley street, In which he kept the body until after his own death, .when it was discovered and 'burlea. David Garrick's widow carefully pre served! all her wedding garments in or der that they might serve as a shroud, and was buried in them'. Margaret Coosins, who was buried In Kent, Eng., ordered her body to be attired- In scarlet satin and placed In a mahogany coffin, lined with green silk, with a glass over ,the entire casket, wfych she iddrected should be set up on end beside a tall clock in the parior of her residence during the funeral A court milliner of Queen Victoria, who died some years" agol left strict in junctions that her body should be wrapped in point lace, and her shroud cost several thousand dollars.
