Postmaster General Payne ia nnntfid m MTinir that President RooseTeltlrill not have anything to .ow ir k; meuaAve to Congress on the subject of restricting represen- .t;rtn fmm those Southern States IK9H V fc wherein negro suffrage is restricted, but will leave that matter to Con gress to deal with without any sug- from him. He spoke in such a way as to convey the impres sion that he thought Congress would deal with it in the way that he thinks Congress should deal with it, that is, by taking action looking to such re striction. As a member of Congress he in troduced such a bill and advocated its adoption, but he didn't make a favorable impression and his bill hung fire. He hopes for better luck for it now that he is somewhat more conspicuous and influential as a member of the cabinet than he was as a member of Congress from the Badger State. But when they come to discuss that Question thev will find that it has two sides to it, and that they will be confronted by more nhstar.les than some of them take into account. Some of these difficulties are thus referred to in an editorial in the Baltimore Sun: The remresentation of the States in Congress down to the time of the adontion of the Fourteenth Amend ment was opportioned among: the states according to their respective members, which were determined by addinsr to the whole number of free Dersons three-fifths of the slave popu lation. In framing or enforcing a law to can j out the views of the Jrost- master-General there will be many Dractical difficulties. Of course the object of the bill is to reach every SUte in the South, but ostensibly it will be directed against those whose Constitutions contain the so-called "grandfather clase." That clause is intended to disfranchise as many ne groes as possible without coming in conflict with the Fifteenth Amend ment to the Federal Constitution. If thev disfranchised the negro because of his race, then that provision would be null and void and Mr. Payne's bill would be unnecessary. All that would be required would be for the pernor s to unconstitutionally deprived or ibeir votes to appeal to the courts. But an one is deprived of his vote on that a -count. The disfranchised people are mainly the illiterates. If all the illit erates were disfranchised, the census would be a guide to the number. But all illiterate are not disfranchised, and it is practically impossible to ascertain with any degree of accurracy toe num ber disfranchised. The number, in fact, varies from year to year. In the Constitution of Alabama, for instance, the following persons who have the requisite qualifications of age, sex and residence are permitted to vote: First All who can read and write the English language and have been engaged in some lawful business or occupation for the greater part of the 13 months preceding the registra tion. Second The owner or the hus band of the owner of 40 acres of land in the State or of real or personal property assessed for taxation at as much as $300, the tsxeson which have been paid. In addition to these all persons who have honorable served in the United 8tates or the Confederate 8tates Army or Navy and their lawful descendants and "all persons who are of good char acter and who understand the duties and obligations of citizenship under a republican form of government." It would appear that to ascertain the number disfranchised by this Consti tution would be almost impossible. The registration is no guide, for here in the rityof Baltimore there are now over 30,000 people who are entitled to register and vote who are not regi stered. They base their action on the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution, the first of which pro vides that where a State denies suf frage to a male inhabitant, old enough to vote, for any other cause than "participation in rebellion or some other crime," then its repre sentation in Congress shall be re duced in such proportion as the whole number of such disfranchised bears to the whole number of male citizens in such State; the second of which prohibits denial of the franchise to any male inhabitant on account of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." The first of these provides a penalty, but the framers of it were unscrupulous enough to insert a provision in it that made it easy to disfranchise nearly every white man in the South who was old enough to bear arms under the Confederacy when they included "participation in re bellion" in connection with "other crimes." The object of this amend ment was with the aid of the eman cipated slaves to get control of the Southern States, whichthey tempo rarily did as most of the white men in the South were then disfranchised, and it was doubtless the intention to keep them so under State laws enacted by white and black Repub licans, and thus hold the South permanently. But the scheme didn't pan out. The 15th amendment had the negro wholly in view but that pro vides no penalty. There are good constitutional lawyers who contend that the 15th amendment, formed and passed subsequent to the 14th, nullified and destroyed that and took its place. This was the position of Jas. G. Blaine and on that he based hi opposition to the proposed force bill for which he contended that there was no authority to punish the South for something for which no punishment had been provided. All inch action would be in the nature of ex part facto legislation, and a violation of the constitution, which the force bill advocates pretended to be deairourof maintaining and en forcing. But assuming that they will hold differently -on the conflict between these two amendments, (neither of which was adopted in a way to make it morally binding upon the South), they will no doubt base their action upon the 14th amendment which provides the penalty, which is re striction of representation. But this applies to all the States where there may be restricted suffrage, such States as Massachusetts, Penn sylvania, Rhode Island and a num ber of others, some of which have restricted and others tax qualifica tions, to which, however, these ad vocates of restricting Southern rep resentation never took any excep tion and in which they never dis covered anything wrong or oppres sive. Most if not all of these States vote the Republican ticket, which accounts for that. If the South voted the Republican ticket every negro in it might be disfranchised and there would not only be nothing in the wav of protest, but if re straining representation were sug gested they would sit down on it with the weight and frigidity of a glacier. With all their pretences of fair play to the negro and justice to the Northern States, which they say de mands a reduction of Southern rep resentation in proportion to the number of acutual voting citizensy their motive is too transparent to deceive any one. It is simply a scheme to get control of Congress and the electoral college and hold them. KEDDLIKG WITH THE SOUTH. While there has been a disposition shown by the managers of Southern cotton mills to reduce the number of children employed and to dis- pen 8e with them aitogeiner wnen practicable, and as soon as practica I 1 ! ble,the agitation has been kept up by outsiders, not out of sympathy with the children altogether, but because this child labor is considered to be a factor in cheap production which n 3 gives southern miiis some advan tage over Northern mills, and hence so much talk about it in that sec tion of the country. This is simply meddling, a med dling which has been going on for several years, and a meddling which does not in the least advance the solution of that problem, which will be solved as soon as practicable by the Southern people who are no more in favor of the employment of children in mills than the Northern people are, who were about' as slow to catch on to that reform as the Southern people are charged with being. There are some few papers, how ever, in New England which do not sympathize with this meddling dis position and take the proper view of it, one of which . the Fall River Herald, which thus rebukes it: "Boiled down, the South finds this entire argument, concentrated in two facta. One is that the capital of the North remains to be persuaded that legislative restrictions in the North are good for this section, and one ia that there is no reason why a -brand new industry should not avail itself of all of the opportunities of which an estab lished industry has been possessed. When we sum up, in a controversy of this kind, we must not forget that we are not our brother's keeper. We of the North have interfered with the Soath as the South has never inter fered with ur. We have manufactured the cotton of the South into the yarn and cloth of the North, and the South has never told us that we should man ufacture fifty-eight hours a week or sixty-six hours. She has had nothing to say regarding our State laws. But the moment the South begins to spin and weave her own raw material the North discusses hours of labor, the em ployment of children and other details with a view to bringing the Southern labor conditions up to approved North ern standards. Is this fair play f That is a question that disturbs the Herald. If it is fair play why do our parents do their level best to teach us to keep our hands and our tongues from the con duct of other people!" There never was an objection from that quarter to child labor in Southern mills until the Southern mills began to increase in number and become competitors of the New England mills, and then the trouble began. They have gone so far as to endeavor to have a bill passed by Congress regulating labor and the hours of labor in cotton mills, the sole purpose of which was to strike at the Southern mills and deprive them of some of the advantages they were supposed to have over the New England mills in cheaper produc tion. A fellow in Chicago named Dal- ton, who has been playing some sort of a fraud through the newspapers of this country and other countries, has just been arrested. He did a pretty good business, as he is said to have cleared about $560,000 in a short time. If he had suspected that the fraud pursuers were on his track he might have cleared himself. But the singular and al most incredible thing about this an nouncement is that he is said to have made all this money out of 28,000 newspapers in this and in foreign countries, which he duped. The wave of prosperity seems to have switched 'round and given Australia the goby. The depres sion there is resulting in the emi gration of thousands of people to South Africa, and they are not looking for anything better for some time to come.

I and the miners in the Pennsylvania strike region would settle their dif ferences without further action of the commission was disappointed by the announcement of the operators Tuesday declaring that movement off, and thafthe commission might proceed "for the present," which may indicate that they have some thing else up their sleeve. This time they have put to the fore the Independent, or rather "private" mine operators (as $fr. Baer calls them), which is a better name for them, for they are not independent. They are practically as much in the power of the Trust as the miners are. It was reported, Monday, that they protested against any increase in the wages of the miners unless the coal roads, which own thirty one of the mines, gave them a re duction of rates in transportation. The suddenness with which the settlement' movement was brought to an end after Attorney MacVeagh had requested Mr. Mitchell and the counsel for the miners to meet him in Washington, ana the reasons given for suspending proceedings, shows that it is not so much a ques tion of wages and grievances as a fight against the Miners' Union, which the operators, both of the Trust and the others, want to ignore and destroy if they can. But this is quibbling and trifling with the question for notwithstanding the declarations of President Baer, speaking for himself and his asso ciates, they have practically re cognized President Mitchell and the Union by accepting the pro position made by Mr. Mitchell for an arbitration Commission, to be appointed by the President, and again by entering upon the move ment to settle with the miners with out further action of the commis sion, in which movement alt. mac- Yeagh, their leading counsel, seems to have been the leading spirit. In this whole business, with all their haughty arrogance, they have been weakly vacillating and have trifled with the question and the public from the beginning. Now they are not only trifling with the public but with the Commission, which they say may proceed with its work "for the present," which means, we suppose, until they again get ready to tell the Commission that they think they can settle mat ters without it. CURRENT CUVlMENf Roosevelt says Congress has and few power to deal with the trusts will use it. And vet only a weeks ago he was urging an amend ment to the United States Consti tution aa the only remedy. Mr. Roosevelt's statesmanship seems to be of the wabbly order.

Charleston News and Courier. Secretary Shaw is threaten ing the South with decreased repre- rention. He says he has no doubt that congress will attend to the mat ter this session. We will not say that we would like to see it tried, but we question whether it could be done. Trying it. however, would do something more than injure the South. It would cause trouble in some of those Republican states of the North. It is the kind of thing that wise men will hesitate to med dle with. Mobile Register, Dem. Disastrous Wrecks.

V ' O. : Bean the of ' The Kind Yon Haw Always Bought QUICK WORK WITH A SHARK Three Kanakas Went Down and Got Him While He Was Asleep. "The Kanakas of the Hawaiian Is lands have about as much fear of the huge sharks that infest the Hawaiian waters as we have of one-month-old fox terrier pups," said a naval officer who recently returned from the Asiatic station by way of the islands. "One morning a couple of months ago, when our ship was lying in Honolulu harbor, a big banana barge, propelled by three muscular, fine looking, nearly nudo Kanakas, pulled alongside of us to peddle the fruit among the men for ward. Just as they got the barge close to the ship the three Kanakas began to jabber excitedly in their queer, musical language and to feel of the edges of the knives suspended by lanyards around their necks. "The eyes of those Kanakas were keener than ours, and they had seen a big shark asleep directly beneath the lighter, the water being so clear down that way that objects can be seen through it to a great depth. It didn't take those three giant muscled Kana kas more than ten seconds to shuffle out of their few clothes. Then they removed the strings from their long knives, grasped the knives in their right hands, stepped gently over the side of the lighter, hung to the gun wales of the lighter with their left hands for a moment or so, and then, altogether, they gave that queer diving wriggle to their legs In which they are so expert and disappeared from the surface. We couldn't see them going down on account of the commStlon and consequent bubbles they made in the water. "Within about ten seconds after they disappeared the bubbles that came to the8urface began to take on the hue of blood. " 'That about settles one Kanaka, if not the whole three of them,' said we on the gangway. The next thing we saw was a gigantic shark thrashing the water crazily on the port side of the, lighter and incarnadining the sea Within a radius of fifty feet with its blood. Then the three Kanakas came up, all In a bunch, like a trio of jacks-ln-the-box, with contented smiles on their faces. The shark thrashed around' for five or ten minutes, and at the end of that time he was as' dead as any, salted mackerel in a barrel, the entire; length of him. The three Kanakas had tackled him altogether as he slept, had driven their knives Into his vulnerable parts, and before he had a chance to, pull himself together he was as good as dead. It was as workmanlike a job of going after bhj sea game as ever I saw," Philadelphia Times. Society and Companionship. The privilege of having some one with whom we may exchange a lew rational words every day, as Emerson phrases it. is the choicest gift In life. We are rich in society and yet poor in companionship. In the overflow of chatter we are starved for conversa tion. Social life is so largely an affair of representation, It Inclines so largely, to the spectacular and to what . Its chroniclers designate as "social func tions." that the element of conversa tional intercourse is almost eliminated. Yet, primarily, Is not that the supreme object of all friendly meeting? When we reduce to first principles this com plex thing called living, do we not go to our friend solely to talk with him? Do we not invite him solely that we may exchange ideas and compare views on subjects of mutual interest? Still, as things go, people meet all through a season In the midst of groups and throngs at dinners, receptions, en tertainments of all kinds without ex changing one word in the way of true intercourse.
