He was Speaker of the Houee In nt and I88i tieneral Kelfer waa on the stump thla fall for t months preceding the elec tion. The burden of most of his ad lrec was the Alleged InefraHlity of ir-umcern rei?reecwijiii. - nni I hesitancy In condemning present pollti Kill ct.riiltlons lit the South." the gn jrnl Is tiuoted as saying, "and I W ti !!0 all fn m.v power to uring iibiut a vonectinn." The Springfield freas itcpuWicnn. Kelfer' orgnn, said 8atur- I'l.ny in a double-learied eclitorliil that "Ihc country will have occasion to leuri Ihere 1m one Congressman not nfrnl.t to do his duly." U wouiil not surprising if i oUHf if not auccerfsful. effort wore made during the next two years to reduce the riouth'a representation In Congrcsi. If the administration endorses such a movement, it will go through, for the Republicans have everything their own way In both houses now. Those facts need not. however, worry anybody in the South. A few less Congressmen in Washington when our political enemies nre in power will have little, If .;.y effect, and. when our friends ft on top It will be all right. There is. no likeli hood of our constitutional amendments rthlch disfranchise the negro btint overiurned. and that is the m.tt i pol'i With us. In fact. It hns been pointed out that an attempt to reduce n-prn- ne'itatlon would be an admission on 'U- lnri cf the Republicans that Mils I a (ietl:l policy. Let the Kelf-rn and flUinnackers crack their whips -the .South can stand it. According to a New York special to e Richmond Times-Dispatch, Lady Hcls Cook, of England, has arrived New-York with the intention of be lling "a - formidable movement to abllsh female suffrage in America." an Interview she said: Abraham Uncoln emancipated the ves, and it now rwmuins for Theodore iaevejt to: make his name stand Mdf side with that great President glorious 1 immortal by giving women their pollt I emancipation. Mr. Roosevelt hug nuid t ttte-greatest woman was she who n the mother of the largest number of ; li en.

As the emnnefpator f mure than 'half of the millions of this great toun , your name, next to Abraham Lin o's, shall stand the greatest in ull our nry.", ' t riOTf seems to be up to Mr. Ttoose it to Issue a proclamation to woman J insure himself against oblivion. We gel this from The Charleston News and Courier: "A telegraph wire wus run Into the pulpit of tlve fashion able Klxth United Presbyterian church, on North Highland avenue. Pittsburg lust Tuesday night, uud the Rev. It M. Russell read the returns-himself to his people. In., announcing ..Uie fuel that the returns would be read from the pulpit, the pastor said: 'Our people want to hear the returns, and why not come to church to hear them? 1 want ery one to come. 1 want them to get used to coming to church. "Now doesn't this Ja'r you? It jars the Set'edeV eldei who edits The News and Courier the Seceder Church of the South and the L'nlted Presbyterian Church of the NVirth being one and he remarks, with line sarcasm, that the Rev. Mr. Russell 'might very well make a strong point on football and baseball . jind piixe lighting returns in season." Hut, Instead of standing ( off and carping, why doesn't he take his folks In hand and reform them? Or has he iespaired of of them since they have introduced organs and hymns and such like vanities Into their churches? They don't change In Orange. The Greensboro Record directs attention to the fact that the esteemPO""Mr. Ijuv, who has already been register of deeds of that county for fifty-four years, was re-elected last week. This will make his official life, even If It ends then, rtfty-six years, which is twenty-two years more than expectancy of human ilfr, as established by the insurance companies. The folks who have lived ah long as Mr. Laws has been In of fice consider that they have done. well. To that gentleman. Hall and good day: We hope he will register the deeds of the cltlsens of Orange county for many moons as yet unseen. Fn a commnulcatJon In yesterday's per Dr. M. C. Hunter, of .Stanley et-k, .called for a passenger train on western division of the Seaboard r Line Railroad, reaching Charlotte die morning- and leaving In the even ;. The 'suggestion , is grounded in nl reasons. Such a train would an vr the Convenience of a great many j ile. With, that and with a gun y train both ways on the Statesville 1 there would be nothing to com i) of as to railroad facilities here. i Greenville Reflector says: "Those i i e most attention to business and i to politics will reap the greatest s." And yet, dearly beloved con '..rarjT those who ??ot for their rial interests notwithstanding : they are told to do so who "give r u ttention to business ' and least i.tfes," are called "commercials" i i.i way. . How is It down your FIX WITH FKiUHKS. A Freuclunan Disports IJglitly Willi Certain Sinister Statistics. Courrler des Elats-Unls. Some people console themselves foi everything and find an argument to keep others from worrying. Kvery one nas read the account of the slaughter ai Manchuria. The losses of the Rus sians In the eight-days' battle south of Mukden are estimated at about 40,000 men. Add the losses of the Japs, ap proximately for they have not yet been reported and you find a tall total. iJuring the eight months since thw commencement of hostilities, the losses on both sides must have been 200,000 men. Hut that amounts to nothing. ur so little that the thing Is not worth speaking of. The average life of a man is 39 years on all points of the globe, and a man dies at the rate or one a second or a. little over. Now the Rus-o-Japanese war has lasted etghi months, and during these eight months. in, all the known world we find that the deaths are sixty a minute. 3,600 an hour, 86,400 a day, and 2.692,000 a month. Therefore, for eight months the deaths toot up a total of 20,736,000. Now what do 200,000 men killed in Manchuria in eight months amount to compared with the 20,736,000 who have died during th ame period? The proportion is 1 pet cent. It is just as If somebody dis covered that in a town in which the mortality is usually 150 a week there 'iind last week ir2. The philosophers who reason in this way leave little room for an answer. Statistics are admirably made for clos ing people's mouths. But let us put llgures In a pleasanter light. The for tune of Prance is estimated at about 400 milliards, and its population Is about SX.000,000. Consequently, each one of us Is the happy possessor of about 10,&0s francs. But go into the street and tell every man you meet that be has a cap ital of 10,600 francs. Nine out of ten will be very much surprised at the good news; and some may ask you to be good enough to mention the name of your madhouse. ca WAinv cmr ss,sflo,ooo.

The retwd or nmpaign nuance shows that the com bined State committees usually spend ii-r dollars for every dollar expended y the national committee. This year, ueuause of toe stiff fights waged In sev- ral States, the proportion will be in creased to H"bout four and a half to very one. To the grand total might be added a lurge sum spent by candidates who nave paid their own expenses during .ostly tours of the State and county. Much of the Democratic committee's money has been used in establishing organizations in States which had been largely neglected in former campaigns and to meet Republican aggressiveness in Indiana and States In the far west. To Indiana alone the Democratic na tional committee sent upward of 3oo, 000. The Slate committee added a gen erous sum to tills amount, all of which Mr. Taggart lias used to'tfet out his vote. The Republican national committee has sent hundreds of thousands of dol lars Into the up-State counties of New York, and Governor Odell spent in the neighborhood of $250,000 perfecting bis organization in New York city and ar ranging his card Index of voters.

Realizing that the party lacked a machine of any. kind In many pnrta of the Slate, William S. Itodle, of the bureau of organization, set about building up an organization that would be useful. Mr. Rodie discovered that this work would necessitate an enor mous expense, greater than the com mittee could ordinarily afford. It was decided to continue the work, however. Jnd the amount of money used lias been estimated at from MOO.OOO to t00,0o0. Careful estimates place the total sum spent by the Republican party in this Hate between 1900,000 and $1,000,000.

He smiled faintly and adjusted the great black Windsor tie that literary men wear. "I wrote last week," he said, "a bal lad, tl was a spirited ballad. It dealt with love and war and death. At the same time It was artistic, and at the same time, too. It was righteous and moral, as all magazine poetry must be. for the war in it was a religious war. and the love was that of a married man for his wife, and the death was that of a vlllian who would have sep nrals.'d this well-wedded pair. Of course, it ended happily. "Never in my life,". said the magazine editor, "did I write anything equal to this ballad.
