Sectional Apportionment.
Some of the Northern papers ar
gue from the small vote in certain
Southern States' that "a great part
of the population of these states
has been practically disfranchised,"
and, in consequence, the repre
sentation of these states ' ' in
Congress should be reduced. Be
cause an election is hotly contested
in Brooklyn, for example, and a
large vote is polled there, while ab
eence of excitement and competi
tion in Mississippi results in a
small vote, it is argued that the
South is getting undue influence in
national affaiis. "It is' not tolera
ble," says a Northern paper, "that
a vote in one part of the Union
should have' twice, or even four
times, the power in national poli
tics of a vote in another part. Ob
viously, the situation , demands
some new adjustment of political
equilibrium." V : r
But such anomalies exist on
every hand. Rhode Island, Dela
ware, Nevada and Colorado, with a
handful of votes, exert a "power in
national politics" by means of
their eight senators "feur times"
as great as that of New York.
New York greatly excels all these
four states put together in popula
tion, votes and wealth, yet New
York has no more power in the up
per bouse than the smallest and
weakest of these four states. The
principle upon which the crit
ics of Mississippi and Louisiana
proceed requires, if fairly applied,
a reconstruction of the constitu
tion which will consolidate the six
New England States into one, or,
at most, two, and the wiping out of
such rotten boroughs as Nevada.
What is especially; absurd in the
contention of the Northern critics
is the implied assertion that citi
zens in all parts of the Union must,
on pain of losing representation in
Congress, all be equally interested
in elections and all go, to the polls
to the last man. There must be
no let-up in excitement. LEvery
campaign must in every state be as
red-hot as in the pivotal state of
New York, and everywhere the vo
ters must be presumed to have the
same facilities for getting to the
polls. It may occur that in a cer
tain county, or district, one party
makes no nominations and the can
didatesof the other party; have a
walkover. Still, on the assump
tion of some of our contempora
ries, in such counties and districts
the voters must rush to vote in the
New York manner or be disfran
chised. At to Mississippi and
Louisiana, the voters are there and
have, their powers, in reserve. If
in any election they do not vote so
largely as in Brooklyn it is because
there is no reason to do so, the
rightful election of the right men
being assured. Such things often
occur in New York. Apathy is
sometimes general, even there. No
doubt it would be better if every
voter always used his ballot. But
he does not, and there is no reason
why the South should be discrimi
nated against in such -matters.
Baltimore Sun.
Germany and the United States.
Berlin, Jan. 21. -The ambassa
dor here of the United States, in
an interview today with the cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
said that the whole flurry of indig
nation in the two countries is just
as baseless this year as last and
may even be more baseless. He
added : "In my judgment, it em
anates from a small number of
people who seek to fish in troubled
waters. Asa matter of faot, Ger
many knows and ' shows that she
knows, her only true policy in the
East is to remain on good terms
with the United -States. She has
no earthly motive to take the side
of the Spaniards or the insurgents,
or to stir them up or agg them on.
That there are some Germans at
Hong Kong ' and elsewhere who
think they do not like Americans
is just as true as there are some
Americans there and elsewhere who
do not like Germans, but such
gentlemen direct neither the policy
of our State Department, nor that
of the German Foreign Office.
Campaign Against Immorality.
. Havana, Jan. 2 1 By order of
General Ludlow, the police today
made a raid on five big book stores
and seized ten thousand copies of
immoral books. The stores were
closed. Raids were also made on
six houses of ill fame, the occupants
of which were girls under fourteen
years of age. General Ludlow is
resolved to proceed energetically
with bis campaign against immor
ality.
Proprietors of thpatres have ap
pealed to Ludlow for police protec
tion against American soldiers, who
attend theatrical performances in
great numbers without the formal
ity of buying tickets of admission

comments Herbert TTard, in telling

board. Only death was to be found
in the boiling, benumbing waters,
but by some witchery of Neptune a
cross wave tossed the two men to
leeward, and the ship dipped them
up. Both were unconscious, but
the hero had his man clutohed by
the hair. j
. The miracle that they were saved
was less than that the man bad
dared jump at all, for he was a
timid, seasick landlubber, and his
seeming cowardice had been the
blutt. of savage scorn. How could
ne nave done it? j
He answered simply that he had
lain awake nights planning lust
what he would do if he heard the
cry, "Man overboard I" It was so
hard for him to overcome his in
stinctive fear of the water that he
had mentally and -systematically
schooled himself to action. Thus,
while his body cringed, his soul
was heroic. This habit of mind
made opportunity impossible ' to
pass by. The intuitive response to
his training swept him over the
rail before he knew where he was.

Married Her Convict Lover, j
A dispatch from Mobile, Ala.,
says : Miss lonia .Lay, or Montgom
ery, a young woman of excellent
f amily and many accomplishments,
was married at u olive, a convict
camp a few miles north of here,
Saturday to Dr. W. S. Baldwin, a
convict: Baldwin is a member of
one of the most influential families
in the state. He killed a young
man named Edson in Bullock coun
ty two years ago and was sentenced
for ten years. He is a highly ed
ucated and polished fellow, and
has since his incarceration been
serving the state as a convict phy
sician. ' ' . 1 ! .
Last year Miss Lay had charge
of a school at Mittylones, near
where Baldwin wasr stationed on
the convict farms; and a mutual
infatuation ensued. All efforts on
the part of the relatives te break
up the love affair were futile.
On Saturday Miss Lay boarded
the train in Montgomery and came
to Dohve, where the ceremonywas
performed. Miss Lay is a young
woman of very fine character and
accomplishments and believed that
the law had unjustly punished her
sweetheart. '
"Delinquents" abound, it seems.
A telegraphic message sent out
from Washington is to the effect
that, the following United States
marshals of North Carolina are
behind in their reports for the
year ending June 30th, 1898 more
than six months: O. J. Carroll,
eastern district of North Carolina,
first quarter; H. C. Dockery, east
ern district of North Carolina,
third and fourth quarters; J. M.
Milikan, western district of North
Carolina, first, second and third
quarters. The treasury department
sends these names to the house of
representatives.
La Grippe Successfully Treated.
"I have just recovered from the sec
ond attack of la grippe this year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I thinic with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten days for the former
attack. The second attack I am satis
fled would have been equally as bad as
the first but for the use of this remedy
as I bad to go to bed in about six hours
after being 'struck' with it, while in
the nrst case l was aoie 10 attend to

Alabama Populists Give Up. :
i Judge Zella Gaston, of Butler,
the Populist leader in this state.
has proposed to the Democrats that
if they give the Populists as many
representatives in the approaching
constitutional convention as they
now have representatives in the
Alabama lenate be will urge the
Populists to abandon their organi
zation and bring all the white men
of Alabama together. As the Pop
ulists have only seven members of
the senate and as the constitutional
convention will contain 133 persons,
Judge Gaston's proposition is re
garded as entirely fair. It will be
made formally to the Democratic
state executive committee, which
will meet here on January 26th.
