A few days ago we printed two ar ticles on the Crumpacker scheme to reduoe Southen representation in Congress and in the electoral col lege, one irom the New York Times, the other from the Chicago Record- Herald, both politically independ ent papers, sharply criticising that scheme. One of the claims made by the Crumpacker supporters is that this is simply a measure of jus tice to the North, because with the necrro disfranchised the vote of a -D Southern man counts as much as the votes of two or more men in the North. In commenting upon this, the Washington Post, another inde pendent paper, says: " 'Forty votes ia Mississippi are equal to nn hundred votes in Maine' is one of the battle-cries of such Republican orraas as are trying to put a period to the era or gooa ieeung uj iujrenuK kectionalism into our national politics. We believe there is no intelligent ciii--n of Maine, whatever may be his po litical designation or creed, who would not. were he a resident of Mississippi, Im &a stranirlv oDDoeed to neero domi nation as are the white residents of the latter Bute. There is not a State in New England or in the entire North whose people would permit negroes to vote if they constituted go large a pro portion of the population as they do in Mississippi. The repressive measures resorted to in that State dur ing the caroet-bsg era, when a school master from Connecticut and a negro harhAr from Indiana stood for Missis sippi in the United States Senate, would be dupiicatea in vermoni ""- notice under like conditions. There is not a white man in the country above the intellectual grade of non compos mentis who has not for years been firmly convinced that the fifteenth amendment enfranchisement of the ex-slaves was, next to secession, the most stupendous of all our political mistakes- There are many of tne en franchised race who hold the same view. They know, as we all know. that the grant of suffrage to the ex alavea haa been an unmitigated curse to hmh neM. "But what has the comparison of the Mitaiasinni and Maine vote to do with the proposition to reduce the rep resentation of Mississippi? The Su preme Court of the United States has affirmed the - constitutionality of the suffrage provision by which the Miss issippi vote was reduced, it was no toriously adopted to shut out the great mass of blacks. Tne people wisely preferred to effect that object by law ful means rather than by a continu ance of violence and fraud. One or the other method was indispensable. And if the States should be compelled to choose between a reduction of rep resentation and the repeal of her suffrage provision, and should adopt the latter.- a return to the old way, with all its horrors, would be the first result. The central idea of the Mississippi suffrage Dro vision came; from Massa chusetts, It is the educational clause a pood thine in any State and lm peratively necessary in Mississippi. As we have said, it has safely passed the United States Snnreme Court If it be contended that the establishment of an educational test is a denial of the right to vote, we submit that it is simply a condition a very proper condition rather than denial of suffrage. Like the noli tax or the property q aalifica tion, it is not an immovable bar to the ballot box, but one of many conditions that a State mav lawfully set up and none of which is an absolute denial. South Carolina adopted the same method of excluding blacks, and for the same reasons that moved Missis iippi."; Mr. Crumpacker and his sup porters are simply crossing the bridge before they got to it, and propose to punish some of the Southern States for doing what they assume to be a violation of the con stitution which . may be, and good authorities contend is, no violation oi the constitution at all. That contention was made in the case of Mississippi, but the bottom was knocked out of it by the Supreme Court of the United States when it decided that the Mississippi suffrage law was no violation of the consti tution of the United States, j The same decision would cover the case of South Carolina, whose suffrage law is modelled after that of Missis- sippi If it be the alleged constitutional infraction that spurred Mr. Crum packer to move in this matter why didn't he go about it in the right way and have the case of Louisiana or South Carolina brought before the courts and up to the Supreme Court. The would then have some ground to stand upon; and could if the de cision were adverse to these States, attack these suffrage laws from a legal and logical standpoint. But they can't do that now for there has been no judicial decision and all they have to go upon is a mere matter of opinion. Ever since the suffrage law of Louisiana was put in force there has been talk of contesting it in the courts, but it hasn't been done, nor has it been done in this State either, although that has been frequently threatened. Why hasn't it been done! Simply be cause they didn't feel sure enough of their ground. These questions would present themselves if Mr. .Crumpacker and bis supporters were actuated j by honest instead of merely partisan motives, but they are neither honest nor consistent. They assert, that the Southern States should not be permitted to violate and ignore the constitutional amendments relating to suffrage without; paying the pen alty. They propose to reduce the representation from Mississippi and South Carolina, in the face of the decision of the Supreme Court that Mississippi has not violated the constitution by her suffrage laws, a decision which wahM .iu i uthOarolina, whose law is simi- lar to that of Mississippi.-! Their reason for depriving these States of representation does not hold, and yet they would . punish 1 both of them as they propose to punish Louisiana and North Caro lina, which have laws somewhat different and contain that awful "grandfather clause," which makes a distinction between some white men who cannot read and write and negroes who cannot read and, write. They seem to take it for granted that the white men who are thus fa vored are Democrats and the black men who are not are Republicans, and that's what hurts them and arouses their indignation. If it so happened that the illiterate white men who are permitted to vote were Republicans, and these schemers were sure of that, no protest against the "grandfather clause";would ever be heard from them. But if as a matter of principle it is Sight that only voters should have representa - tion, why Is it that some Republican I tion they showed to immediate in who objects to qualified suffrage in I yestigation, as if they thought there the South didn't move some time ago to cut down the representation from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Cali fornia and other Republican States which have qualified suffrage laws ? Some of these laws have been in force for a good while and there never has been a chirp from a Republican statesman against them, and never a chirp against qualified suffrage un til some of the Southern States fol lowed the example of those Northern States and passed laws to protect themselves from the ignorant negro mob, which happened to be a Re- publican mob. This accounts for the interest that Crumpacker & Co. are taking in their disfranchisement. His game is too thin; it gives itself away. COLLECTING FUNDS TO PAY POLL TAX. We never had any doubt that the Republican machine managers in this State would pass around the hat to raise money to pay the poll taxes of delinquents whose votes they can control at the next election. They hope with these votes and the num ber of white men who usually vote the Democratic ticket, but who may fail to pay their poll tax, to carry tne state, xne loiiowing which we clip from the Charlotte News of Wednesday is to the point and shows how the party managers are hustling: "With the avowed purpose of pay ing the poll taxes of the negroes who are liable to disfranchisement on this ground, the Republicans of the State have bad out collectors to obtain funds from Federal office holders in North Carolina. . "That this is undeniable was learn ed by our reporter to day, the Infor mation coming from a source that cannot be doubted. "It is the intention of the Republi cans to endeavor to save the day by be ing enabled to keep in line all the ne groes who are able to read and write and who are liable to disfranchisement because of failure to pay their poll taxes. "The fund is to be distributed at va rious points in , the State, where the agents will take up the receipts "of the negroes who fail to pay their taxes. After paying the same' for them the re ceipts will then be held against the ne groes to influence the trend of their votes. "It is said the fund collected so far has reached a large amount." Of course there will be denials of this but we do not think there is the slightest doubt as to its substan tial trnth. ' Tbe use of the money raised will not be confined to the payment of the poll tax of negroes, for they will not overlook the white Republicans, numerous in some of the central and western counties, who may be indif ferent about paying this tax and wouldn't object to having it paid for them. Wehayeno doubt, either, that when the Republican sheriff of Chatham county refused to let Democrats examine his tax books for tbe purpose of ascertaining the names of white men who have failed to pay their poll; tax he was acting in accordance with the programme to be followed by other Republican sheriffs under similar circumstances. If they can prevent the payment of poll taxes by Democrats by mak ing it troublesome to learn who the delinquents are, they are going to do it, and if they can make votes by paying the poll tax for delinquents they are going to do that, 'both, of which are sufficient reasons why white men who believe in white supremacy and value their votes as white men should, should pay their taxes, and not become the victims of Republican trickery and of their own carelessness.! There is no trouble in getting rich quick if yon know how. The attor ney for John W. Gates, the j steel manipulator, told in a suit pending in a New York court, how his client increased his millions. He held $1,000,000 of stock in one company which he converted into $3,000,000 worth in another, and this, into $5,000,000 in another subsequently formed. All he had to do to be come very rich was to keep up that process of converting. The sheriff of Portland, Maine, "is a preacher, whom the saloon men nominated as a joke. He turned the joke on them when he was elected, and now offers $100 to any one who can find an open saloon in that town or county. For.WnooDins: Gousrh NET'S EX. ror sale by HanJlnl Palaee Pbarmaer J SOXETHHTO "ROTTEH IN DEN MARX." - Mr. Richardson ; added to the gaiety of the House of Representa tives, Thursday, by the sensation he sprang with the resoultion he intro duced. asking for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the alleged methods employed by agent Christmas to promote the sale of the Danish West Indies to this country. If there be anything in this, it shows that there is not only some thing rotten in Denmark but also in Washington. While there was nothing in the statement made to show j positively that any of our statesmen had been bribed, there is enough to show that if agent Christmas wrote the docu ment referred to he concluded that some bribery would be necessary and" was prepared and had j shrewdly formed his combination to do it, and it looks from the flurry of some 1 of the Republicans, and the opposi might be some dynamite in that document. They didn't show good judgment in kicking as they did and in voting as solidly as they did for a postpone ment. They had nothing to gam by that but everything to gain by a prompt investigation, to the end that if there was any trnth in the allegations of Christmas it might be established and the guilty parties exposed, and if not, that its falsity might be at once established and thus the ground for even suspicion be removed. Any effort to smother I investigation will be construed, and I rightly so, as proof of guilt. There will be denials, of course, ! and perhaps charges of forgery, but this will not settle the question nor vindicate the men whose names are mentioned in this connection. CURRENT COMMENT. Judging by the course of the Republicans on the proposition" for Cuban relief, President Roosevelt's charactrization of reciprocity as the handmaid of protection will have to be changed to reciprocity is the football of protectionists. Louis ville Conner- Journal, Dem. It appears that Gen. Fred Funs ton's story of his experience in a country newspaper office ; was so funny that John Phoenix put it in his collection of California stories about fifty years ago, and was so ungenerous as to fail to give the Kansas hero proper credit. Wash ington Post, Ind. "Answering a member of the Courtmartial," it is reported from Manilla, "Capt. Porter said that Gen. Smith did not explicitly give Major. Waller the power of life and death over prisoners.but that he did by inference, saying he wanted no Erisoners." Does this explain why we ave taken such few prisoners in our humane and civilizing war? And why so many engagements have been reported without any "wounded" Filipinos? And why sixteen Filipi nos have been killed to every one American? Charleston Netos and Courier, Dem. In opposing to the last ditch the Cuban concessions programme of the Administration, the Protec tionist : steering committee in the House counts upon forty members as certain to stick. If this be so at least fifty Democratic votes would be required to pass a Cuban con cession bill in the lower branch of Congress. Such an outcome of a strenuous policy of ' international justice and decency would set the majority leaders all a-flutter. After preaching the gospel of unbounded greed for a generation, they profess amazement that its teachings should prevail even over party loyalty. But it is "a condition, not a theory," that confronts them. and they must make the best of it. Phila delphia Record, Dem, QUARTERLY MEE FINOS. Wilmington District Second Round.

Whitehead, who was one of the most prosperous farmers in Halifax county, died at his home near here Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, aged about 65 years. About fifty years ago Mrs. Elizabeth Newell, a very wealthy; old lady, died and was buried about six miles from Littleton. It was popu larly supposed that many costly jewels were interred with her, and many be lieved that a large amount of her wealth, which was never accounted for, was also put into tbe grave. One night last week three dastards dug open the grave, scattered its contents and, it is thought, secured some finger rings, ear rings and bracelets. The three ghocls, all men, were seen, and it is probable that the matter will be carried to the grand jury. A party who visited the grave next day said that all that remained of the body was a small piece of the skull and a little hair. j Winston Journal: A letter from Wilkes bo ro saja the Coroner's jury decided that Miss Benge. who was found floating In a mill pond last Sunday, had been murdered and thrown in the water.

On opening the box he found in it a baby which looked as though it might have been several days old. No one seems to be able to account for the appearance of the little waif in this position.

A DARWINIAN THfcOrW. the Drown in Ham Always Throw Up Hla Haada. The usual idea that a drowning man is stretching out his hands for aid or "catching at straws" Is not altogether satisfactory. A possible explanation Eas lately been suggested, and this supposes that the drowning man, losing all bis acquired habits and even some of those inherited from more recent parents, in his terror goes back to the Instinctive movements of his arboreal ancestors, and the movements of the drowning man are those of a frighten ed ape seeking safety by clinging to the nearest tree. Tbe movement is certainly instinc tive, for It can only be eliminated by considerable training and voluntary efforts, and yet it is fatal to the Indi vidual, for the specific gravity of no human body is so nearly that of water that tbe removal of the arms from the supporting fluid at once sinks the face beneath the surface. In cases of so called "cramps" the victim, often a highly trained swimmer, generally throws up the hands, but these cases are probably due to heart failure, and a similar movement takes place on land when the subject receives a fatal heart wound, and it is even a common ex pression of shock or astonishment The ordinary movements of walking or run ning would keep a man's face above water, but these curious climbing movements of both hands and feet make floating Impossible and are re sponsible for many deaths by drown ing.

All forms of bituminous pavements, whether manufactured from natural or artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial stone pavements. The Indus try started with the use of the natural rock as phalt from tbe mines in the Yal de Travers, Canton Neufcbatel, Switzer land. Tbe mines were discovered In 1721, but it was 1849 that Its utility as a road covering was first noticed. Tbe rock was then being . mined for tbe purpose of extracting the bitumen con tained in it for use In medicine and arts. It is a limestone found impreg nated with bitumen, of which it yields on analysis from 8 to 14 per cent It was observed that pieces of rock which fell from the wagon were crush- evi by the weight of wheels, and under the combined Influence of the traffic and heat of tbe sun a good road surface was produced. A macadam road of as phalt rock was then made which gave very good results, and finally In 1854 a portion of the Rue Bergere was laid in Paris of compressed asphalt on a concrete foundation. In 1858 a still larger sample was laid, and from that time It has been laid year by year In Paris. From Paris It extended to London,- being laid on Threadneedle street in 1S69 nud Cbeapside In 1870 and in successive years on other streets. Mu nicipal Journal and Engineer. K Limit to Hew Ideaa.

She doesn't go to her dobs and en- ahres half as much as she did. Peo ple used to say this charming woman spent most of her time at these gather ings. One day she called on a dear friend to reprove her for her slacken ing interest in the dub. I believe it was a club for reforming the gas met er or something anyhow it was a -re form affair. "Look here, Lizzie," said the enthu siast, "why on earth don't you come to the meetings? Here you are paying your dues and never showing up. You owe it to the club to take an Interest In the work." "But I can't come," explained her friend. "There's the baby, and Henry doesn't come home sometimes till late, and supper mnst wait, and if he wants to go out I can't go away and leave the children. I would worry myself to death." "Well, I mnst say Henry Is Inconsid erate," said the caller. "Why, there's my husband and children too. They give me no trouble.

"Maybe." retorted the amiable host ess, "if I bad a bousegirl as handsome and young as Bridget Henry would be glad to stay at home, too, but mine is black and goes home at nights." The blow landed, and Charlie hasn't been asked to look after Bridget and the bouse since. Louisville Times.
