The Washington correspondent
of the Globe-Democrat, the leading
Republican paper west of the Mis
sissippi, writes his paper that It has
been decided that the question
of Southern representation in Re
publican national conventions most
be settled bj the time the next na
tional convention meets, and settled
in such a way that the Southern
States will be represented onlj in
proportion to the number of Repub
lican votes cast. With the negro
vote practically eliminated, as it now
is in nearly all of the Southern
States, these States will cut a very
small figure in national conventions,
and the Flanagan brand of delegates
will not be so numerous nor in such
demand.
This is a matter which has been
diacnaaed more or less for some
T VI! 1 J Lnt OS
there was always up to the present
time some aspirant to rresiaenuai
honors who thought he might find
use for Southern votes, the matter was
not pressed and when suggested met
with opposition from the friends of
such aspirants. It was proposed in
1896 but Mr. II anna, who as the
friend of Mr. McKinley, had corral
led a lot of the Southern delegations,
for emergencies, didn't propose to
have them barred out. In 1900 it was
again proposed, after the election,
but the Southern contingent had
'stood so loyally by McKinley that
Hanna thought it would be rough
treatment in return for their sticking
to McKinley, and the subject was
dropped. Now, however, the condi
tions "are changed. Mr. Hanna has
no debts to pay, and unless he find
something to entice him to enter
the race against Roosevelt, of which
there is thus far no indication, he
may agree to the restriction. If,
however, he should for any reason
decide to enter the race he would do
it with a view to backing from the
South, as some of the aftermath of
Roosevelt's change of front on the
lily white business.
But it is said that Roosevelt is
heartily in favor of it, that he has
become a convert since the late elec
tions. In writing a couple days ago of
his change of attitude on the lily
white programme, we remarked that
he had pursued, as far as the pub
lic is concerned, a sort of non
committal course in that as he was
a candidate lor the nomination for
the Presidency and didn't feel sure
of votes enough in the North to en
sure his nomination, he therefore
was playing for votes from the South,
but having been relieved of his doubts
on that score by the strong endorse
ment given him by his party in the
North he felt that he no longer
needed Southern votes and could
therefore swim the lilv whites and
thereby make himself solid with the
negro contingent in those Northern
States where it is a factor in poli
tics. The Globe-Democrat corre
spondent expresses the same view
in accounting for his endorsement
of the proposed eliminating move
ment. He says:
To-day Republican conditions are
4ti4a fmin Vi at tKav mwsiwm wVisavt
the retention of Southern represent
tlon was a question of party expedi
ency. Mr. Koosevelt is a candidate
for nomination for the Presidency in
1004. He is far from pleased with the
lack of enthusiasm and earnestness of
purpose among the Republicans of the
Southern States. He is not, of course,
- refusing support of his party followers
from any section of the country, but
he is satisfied that he does not have to
-depend upon the votes of the Southern
BspubUcans to secure a nomination. He
believes that it is due to the party in
the nation to adjust the representation
so that the States which cast the votes
shall have the voice in naming the
i party's national candidates. He be-
-uBiBi win uo lor mo gwa ai me en
tire party to bring about such an ad
justment of the representation propo
sition. He has hoped that eventually
the Republicans of the South will be
come active and work for the party
rather than for patronage. He has no
patience with the Republicans who re
fuse to hold their party organizations
' together, get into the field with strong
and lead forlorn hopes, if necessary.
? until their very persistency wins the
more followers. He is quoted as hav

year after year, in the face of persis
tent and increasing Republican mi-
' joritiess.: That's the kind of partisans
the President wants to see In the
South. . Until the Republicans of the
South effect such an organization
the President Is ready to agree with
the plan of Gen. Payne to reduce their
representation in the national conven
tions to a basis that will be fair to
other States In which Republicans
work and win victories.
- The President and his advisers ex-
representation will be resented by
Southern Republicans. Missouri is
ribs- one Southern State that will not
f suffer noticeably by the adoption of
- the pUn. ' The Republicans polled In
the election last Tuesday about 47 per
cent, of the total vote, which would
entitle them to about their usual rep
resentation In the national convention.
In States, however, like Oeorgiar
Alabama, South Carolina and Missis
sippi, in which the Republicans in
- many districts refused to name candi
date and allowed the election to go
zf lAk' uo represeniauon in na
tional conventions will be reduced
very radically. The President and t&e
party managers believe that the reduc
tion will be justified and the effect
wholesome.

in: thi matter was influenced by
that, that he did: : not come . Into ao-
movement until he became satisfied
that he was so strong in the NortH
that his nomination might be looked
upon as practically assured without
Southern votes, and then he agreed
to cutting the Southern votes out.
That has a decidedly selfish look,
and in the light of recent events it
has also a decidedly Rooseveltian
look.
But with Roosevelt solid as far as
the nomination is a matter for con
sideration, and the Republican lead
ers prof easing to feel confident of a
practically solid North in the next
Presidential election, where Is there
any occasion to snow the Southern
delegations under as proposed r It
is about all the fun they have, and
as there will be no need to in
vest any money in the doubtful they
can't bleed any body, and can do no
harm. This is the way, according to
the G-D correspondent, the Repub
lican seers make the horoscope for
1904. It gives the States with the
electoral vote of each, based on the
results of the late elections :
Safely Republican California, 10;
Connecticut, 7; Illinois, 87; Indians,
IS; lows, IS; Kansas, 10; Maine, ;
Massachusetts, 16; Michigan, 14; Ne
braska, 8; Minnesota, 11; New Hamp

Doubtful -Colorado, 5; Delaware,
8: Idaho, 3; Maryland, 8; Montana,
3; Nevada, 3; New York, 89; total,

From this it will be seen that if all
the states put in the doubtful list east
their votes for the Democratic can
didate the Republicans would have 46
mil nritvin the eleeotrial collecre. The
Rflnnhlieana have a better chance in
all the doubtful States with the posit
ble exception of Nevada.
With such a jug handle prospect
as this what need they care whether
Southern delegates strut and per
form in national conventions or not?
PESSIOHS FOR AGED WORKING
MEN.
The American Federation of Labor
at New Orleans last week took a
pretty wide swath in the resolutions
presented, one of which reads as fol
lows:
That any man who shall have ar
rived at the ace or sixty years, wno is
a naturalized citizen and has lived
twentv-one years in this country, and
whose average annual income has
been less than $1,000 per annum, be
given a pension of 112 per month
This is running the paternal
schedule pretty strong, but it seems
to flavor the "naturalized citizen
who has lived in this country for
twenty-one years," while it Ignores
the native born, who doesn't seem to
be entitled to the paternal care of
this Government when he reaches
the age of sixty-five years,
whether he has earned an average of
less than $1,000 a year or not, which
is the case with the average work,
man, whether "naturalized" or na
tive born.
The pension game seems to be
growing, for it has also been sug
gested that people who have been in
the Government service for a stated
period be pensioned, and there is an
organization among the negroes, the
object of which is to boost pension
for ex-Blaves.
But in view of the extant and
lavishness to which the pension busi
ness has been carried in this conn
try it is not surprising that it should
have proved somewhat catching.
Commenting upon this resolution
by the Federation of Labor the New
York Times, while showing it to be
wild and impracticable, adds the
following pertinent remarks:
But how can we advance any logi
cal objection to this labor resolution
so lone as we maintain a pension roll
costing us $140,000,000 a year, or con
tinue a policy or taruz protection un
der which Mr. Carnegie's- steel works
were able to make $42,000,000 of profits
in one year!
Twelve dollars a month is just the
sum we pay a very large proportion of
the pensioners, not over one-half of
whom have any just title to the Gov
ernment's bounty. A naturalized
working man sixty-five years old, who
can show that he has earned on the
average less than $1,000 per
annum, is indeed a very respect
able applicant for a pension, com
pared to the bounty jumpers. desert
ers, ana the others or the perjured and
undeserving who make up so vast a
proportion of the great army of 1,000,
000 pensioners. He touches the heart
and awakens the sympathy, even com
mands a measure of admiration, as a
dignified or pathetic figure, when set
over against the ignorable bulk of a
trust magnate who .writes the tariff
schedules which authorize him to
thrust his great paw into the Dockets
of millions of American consumers,
whom the law makes dependent upon
his monopolistic factories.
The fact is that this country has
been for some time pensioning not
only soldiers and so-called soldiers,
but an army of favored fellows who
have a pull on the statesmen and are
raking in millions annually from the
people, many of whom are credulous .
enough to believe that they are bene
fited by the plundering.
A board of clergymen, represent
ing an organization formed for the
purpose of suppressing the drug
habit in this country, at a meeting
in New York recently, made the
startling statement that 1.000.000
persons are. addicted to the use of
morphine. This is about one in
every 76 persons, and it is added
that the majority of them are among
the wealthiest and better educated
classes. -

; Why be opposed. ; :
. Senator Elkins, of West Virginia
was the statesman who' at the last
session of Congress engineered the
opposition to the Cuban reciprocity
bill. He pooled issues with the beet
sugar men, although he wasn't inter
ested in beet sugar, but beet sugar as
one of the "infant industries" whose
existence would be Imperilled by re
ducing the duty on Cuban sugar,
was a convenient pretext and he
found it useful. The real motive
for his opposition is given . in the
following extract from an interview
with him.
"The northwest wants free lumber.
Had we started voting on Cuban reci
procity, the way would have been
clear to vote for lower duties on many
other products. Amendments would
have been placed on the bllL There
would have been efforts to lower the
duty on steel. When we were voting
on steel, others would have proposed
a change of the wool schedules; still
others would have proposed lowering
the duties on hides and leather, and
eventually the northwest woul i have
tried to reduce the duty on lumber.
That was what I feared had wo under
taken to consider the bill for Cuban
reciprocity.
"I was willing to pay the running
expenses of the Cuban government
for ten years rather than start upon
any such experiments as that reci
procity blU," added the Senator, by
way of emphasizing how earnest he
was about protecting the industries of
West Virginia. "I was willing to
vote for a rebate. In my speech on
the subject I stated that I was willing
tn snt tnr tVin tvAatv That mil thft
matter in different shape. It does not
m t t
open the gates lor a general revuion
of the tariff. I still stand by that de
claration to support the treaty."
Simmered down this simply means
that Senator Elkins was opposed to
reciprocity without Cuba because it
might ultimately lead to tariff re
vision which might cut down some
of the protection West Virginia has
on timber, coal and iron, which he
says has brought $40,000,000 of
investments into that State. As
in this tariff game every pro
tectionist is looking after the
interest of his bailwick regard
less of the interests of the
country at large, or of justice to
others, Senator Elkins was simply
doing what they all do, and was
therefore not to be particularly
blamed. But it shows the selfish
ness of that whole business.
It may be incidentally remarked,
also, that Senator Elkins, who is a
very wealthy man, has large inter
ests in the lumber, coal and iron
business of West Virginia, and there
fore while fighting reciprocity in the
interests of his constituents he was
not losing sight of his own interests.

In many ways Nature is all right
just as she is, and when the hand of
man attempts to Improve upon her
works, a botchy job, to say the least,
often results.
There art, however, a great many
instances where by a little human help
Nature's beat gifts are doubly enhanced
In value and brought forth from ob
scurity In a manner that is causing
this century to be known as one of
progress.
There is nothing In the way of a dis
covery that will prove of greater bene
fit to man in general, and to the in
habitants of this part of America in
particular, than Vinol which repre
sents an old and valuable remedy In
troduced In a new and practical form.
TInol Is being hailed by physicians
and patients alike as a glorious inter
vention of Providence for annihilating
certain diseases of a wasting nature
and prolonging life, and its discovery
is a fitting climax, coming as It does at
the end of a century that will go down
into history as remarkable for its ad
vancement.
Vinol. as it is sold to-day. is fast be
coming what all other great inven
tions soon become, a positive necessity
that makes the world wonder how it
ever existed without it.
God liver oil, on account of the pe
culiar medicinal properties which it
contains, has been known to science
for years as the most efficient of all
specifics for throat, lung and bronchial
troubles, and all wastine diseases.
The layman, however, has appreciated
the fact as forcibly as the professional,
that this same remedy was often ren
dered practically useless on account of
Its disagreeable odor and taste, until it
began to appear as though cod liver
oil might eventually be omitted from
the rnarmacpceia.
The invention of Vinol has saved
this wonderful medicine, not as we
have known it. to be sur.. but in its
new form, which is nothing more or
less than the Identical, potent, reme
dial factors that have made the cod's
liver famous. This new discovery
consists only in finding a way of ex
tracting the curative principles of the
cod liver, which once obtained are
dissolved in a mild, delicious and
delicate table wine.
And so to us is sriven this old reme
dy in its new form, doubly efficient
absolutely tasteless, and denuded of
its greatest and most serious objection
the fatty matter Itself, which has al
ways precluded the use of cod liver oil
in cases where the digestive apparatus
had become weakened. Vinol is with

COTTON MARKETS.
s? Xeleor&Dn to toe Morning Star
Nkw York, Nov. 19. The cotton
market opened 6teady at an advance
of two to three points and ruled fairly
active and generally firmer on better
early cables than looked for ar-d doubt
ful weather news. Prices further ad
vanced one to two points on the more
active position?, but turned easier un
der selling by room traders to secure
profits, which carried prices six to seven
points off from the best point of the
forenoon, after which there was a gen
eral rally with the market finally
very steady at a net loss of one point
to a net rise of four points.
Trading was very active and of a good
class most of the session, particularly
in the afternoon, when it became ap
parent that commission houses were
persistent buyers, largely for public
account. While January contracts
received less attention than heretofore
It was rumored that the "January
deal" was still on, , to be heard from
later. This became a factor in the
afternoon rally. While local sen
timent remains quite mixed, a good
many of the room traders have be
come bullish on reports from the
South to the effect that very little
spot cotton is for sale as compared with
the quantity wanted, while the weath
er in many parts of the South has not
been of a quality toiforward the top
crop chances. Private sables brought
good sized buying orders from Great
Britain and the continent, spot
houses continue to aborb December
and January contracts, particularly a
Philadelphia house which has been a
steady buyer of the near positions for
some time past. The transactions for
the day reached about suu,uuo bales.
