Mr. John Sharp Wllliemt, the leader of the Democratic minority Id tht flont, dm not distinguished himself, iiDt oil laddan elevation to promi iidm, (or either good manner! or good judgment. Bit behavior at the St. Loaii convention, addressing Mr. Bryan m it he wan an inferior end indulging in remarka towarda that greet leader ot a vary intemperate kind, produced the impreiaion ot a email man with large viewt ot hia own importance. Be hat now eibibited an entire want of judgment, for one to highly plaoed, in reepee t to.' a matterof the greateet importanoe to the Booth. Be hai foreetalled the opiniont ot hie oolleagoea in relation to the tubjeot of a redaction ot Southern representation in a way that moat embarraee them in approarbing taoh a weighty subject. The well informed Waahington cor respondent ot the Baltimore 8nn refers to this latest aot ot Mr. Williams in the following well considered worda : Soma regret is expressed among Southern Democrats who are eeeem blinc here for the opening ot Coo crest that Bon. John Sharp Williams, the leader of the minority in the Hones, sboold bete spoken aa be did laat week with refenee to the suggestion ot a re duction in the representation of the Boulb In Congress. It is not the com mon belief that the Booth is going to be deprived of any of its represents Hon, though it is admitted as a possi bility; "bat, whatever the future may develop, it is the opinion ot many very foreefol Southern Democrats with whom I have talked that it is nnwiee to aatieipate a thing not desired and not distinctly foreshadowed. More deei dedly is the opinion expressed that it is not judicious to publicly programme a polioy ot dtQtnx to meet aetion which may never be taken. Even among such Repoblies.ni contend that some sort of punishment should be pat upon the Sooth for being solidly Democratic and for restricting suffrage where there has been any restriction, there ie a wide difference of opinion as to the torm the punishment sboold take, and a greet many ttepub lieana hold it to be nnwise to attempt any restrictive legislation with refer enee to the Booth. Some Republicans recognise that the Southern people have a difficult prob lem in dealing with the negrote and sbonld be let alone to work it out to conclusion which will be beet for both races. Others denounce the limitations of Southern suffrage as an outrage upon other sections of the country, bat insist that the disfranchisement ot ne groea should not be recognised by Congress as a lawful aet if a corns ponding surrender ie made of reprt. aentation in Congrats. Republicans holding this view say that legislation catting down the representation of the South would amount to the entire die franebieement ot the negro, and they ask, by way of entoroiog their argu meat, whether their colleagues want by aet of Coogrets to acknowledge the right of the community in which be livee to disfranchise Booker Washing ton. Altogether there are too many differ eneee of opinion on the subject among Republicans to give promise of agree meat among thorn) upon a plan that could be pot into effect by which the Booth wonld suffer. Premature expres sions ot hostility and detunes by Booth cm men of representative capacity are liable, however, to strengthen the hands of the extremists who want nothing else so much as they want to punish the Southern people. Any expression wbieh seems to give them an exense for their bitterness or which can be made ore ot to excite popular feeling in the North haa a tendency to help the extremist Republicans to break down the influence of the more conservative and far sighted clement of tbeir own party in Congress. The opinion is expressed to me by Southern Democrats, eome of whom are in the Senate and eome in the Bouse, that until tbey are actually confronted with the necessity for aetion it will be the part of wisdom to say very little and to make no pronoun cement of what sbonld be done it thing which is sow only ft remote possibility should even' tuate. Ooe reason tor the egitetioo of tbs Southern reapportionment pronation at thia time is a desire on the part of certain "stand patters" to conjure up something upon wbieh tbey might be able to make ft deal with Democrats to help in ft fight against the Admiuistra tion should Mr. Booeevelt take sides with tbe revisionists. Tbey think the Democrats might be relied upon to prolong tbe tariff fight if tbey felt that ia so doing tbey were consuming time 10 aa to detect southern reapportion menu it is likely to develop very ouiekly, however, that no sueb deal can be made with Democrats, and there may then be leas talk of reapportion msnt. Itorcisry Wooossa a tbe nestles. Aa OwsQiboro, Kentucky dispatch aayax Urey Woodson, secretary ot the Democratic national committee, will declare In an editorial in the Owens boro Messenger in tbe morning tbat the nomination ot Parker for president was the most stupendous mistake tbe Democratic party has made since 1873 Mr. Woodson was ooe of tbe origioel Parker men and had charge of Parker's campaign In Kentucky before tbe State convention. Be eaya i "Tbe fig ret snow tbat it was not Booeevelt' Sreat personal popularity tbat eeuaed it eo-el!ed landslide, but the refoeal of many thousands ot regular Demo trait to take aa interest in the eandi dacy ot Judge Parker after hia gold telegram to the St, Louie convention. the disappointing language ot hia speech ot acceptance and hit feilrsto nntu tnt last deyt ot the eamoale-a make ftft aggreasive fight against the trusts end UriC protected Interests.

Great oreDarations are being made for the inauguration next March. The President hae exaitcd soma boatility here by taking the whole affair into bis own hands, aa ha did his election, turning down onr moot prominent local Republicans and appointing in thsir places his "dear friend" Col. John M Wilson, with whom be was thrown in Intimate association daring his mem bersbio ot the Civil Service Corneals sion ten years ago. The appointment regarded as an emphatic announce ment that the Inaugural ceremonies arc to be mainly military. It will probably be tbe moat showy and numerously at tsnded inangnration of President ever held. Already scores ot Bute of' floials era here to make arrangements for regiments, companies and civic aeeoeietiooa wbieh will take pert, The President will co-operate with hia uaual sell-assertion to maka tt "a great show." Be baa ordered the bat tallion companies ot Philippine wonts (mostly Maoeabebee) who have been at tne St. boms exposition, to remain In thia eountry and paiwlipete in the honora to "tbeir President" New public buildings and tremendous local improvements are going rapidly on and the city on March 4 will be in its most attractive holiday garb. The President's bulletin excluding a Boston paper from newa sources is fell to have been inexpedient because aboutaeintffeetnalasthe Pope's bnll against the comet. The paper will get the news just the same, perhaps more abondant than ever, and the advertise mens is worth untold sums. But its Sense is a gross ooe; for Mr. Chester A. Snow, president of the Bomane Society here, says that the President is ehamoion of kiodneea to animals and iwaya gives them abundant care. The yarn that he encouraged his children to torment a turkey was ft very oisrep utable invention concerning one who in recent message to Congress appealed (or the better protection ot animals. Tbe turkey that it wee said tbe Boose velt children treated with cruelty was never seen by the children until it was served on tbe table. Washington is not prond to have been the birthplace of the woman, Nancy Patterson. The action ot her admirers in writing to her sympathetic letters. sending her bouquets, four-leaf clover, food and wine, and making passionate ppeale to be allowed to serve her, is enough toes use doubt of the value ot our judicial system. Why are such things permitted T A prominent Jurist In this city proposes tbat prisoners ihall in variably be tried by juries of their own sex, holding that the masculine element woai prevenu ine oouviouou or young women charged with capital of fence. Ao alleged murderess would be more likely to have justice done her if her goo-goo eyes found themselves confronted by twelve women insensible to her physical charms. If male aaeaseins were tried by janes of women, would they not bsve a far better chance to escape than at present t Tbe lew Ftaslcfy. itkaa Co tfcntioe The old methods of treating crimi nals in the state prisons end peniten times ot the United States is under going a change. Tbe general adoption of advanced steps ia the aeieaee of penology promise mtif ying results in the reformation of those convicted of crime. Tbe view ot sociologists hat been accepted as the true one, that the surest means of producing confirmed crooks aad hardened criminals, is to treat those convicted ot crimes of ve rying degrees of wickedness as though they were eoogenitsily end irredeema bly depraved, to reduce all the inmates ot the pen to the common level ot brutes. A change ot sentiment is gradually gaining strength. Bboald not oar belief tbat any men entirely bad be tempered by oar knowledge that none of us are entirely good f The etraads of good and of evil blend in the complex texture of every life, io so bewildering a way that none but the all discerning eye of the Crea tor can separate. Laws are made and enforced for the protection ot aociety. All infractions ot the law mast be punished when di covered, otherwise tbe lew is a mock ery and should be repealed. Koforee- meot is demanded lor the protection of the innoeeot and the preservation of the Bute. To permit tbe guilty to escape the jut paoithmeot of the debt incurred by their moraJ deflection it dangerous. But as tbe law recognises difference ia crimes and considers the cxtenaating siren instances in every , it is edmircsble tbat there are varying degrees in the penitence aad resolutions of amendment is future on part of the criminal. la the federal pnaoa at Atlaata ova ry inducement to reform possible M held out to the in mates withia tbe power of the wardens end bis assistants. Every effort Is mads to appeal to the pride of ths mea aad arouse ambition to improve. Tbey are sent there for infractions of ths laws of tbe gov era meat, bat most of these look forward to one day taking their places in the eagerly craved activities of the basv world. For good behavior tbe tut of tbe sonnet ia deserted for the garb of a solid color. The prison is for pun isbing criminals. It is aleo toogbt to be the mesne of reformation. Ia New York Bute prison clothes have been stripped from 2,384 first term convicts. Tbe authorities claim that tbe aet is a good one. The better impoi- eet of toe bco is appealed to strongly.

TSI 00TT0 ILOIP AID ITI UOt WUabgtM Tbe report ot the government agri cultural department,- issued yesterday morning, placed the cotton crop at U, 162 000 bales. The farmers sbonld not let tbit frighten them. Ot conrte the cpecula tors on the bear tide ot the market will use these record breaking figures as an argument for lowering the price of the raw material. Tbey caa succeed only when the holders ot spot cotton become frightened and rash it on the market. Now Is tbe lime for the farmer to takt a firmer grip oa what cotton be has and hold it until tbe Harry over tbe government's eeiimate hae pasted. Tbe immediate result of this govern ment report will be to lower the price, but it cannot stay dosn long if there is only a small amount ot cotton put on the market. Not ia years have the farmert been to well situated for holding tbeir cotton as now. It tbey turn it loose and there bv olav into tbe htnds of the bears, aiding in keeping tbe price down It will be their own fault Twelve million bales is a mighty big crop, 'tis true; out it tne worm win consume that much cotton in the year it is not too Urge to demand a good price on the market The men who want to bny cotton as eheaply as possible and who do every thing to bear the market will now raits the ery ot over-production and a ple thora of tbe staple oa tbe market. Tbe farmers most not be fooled by this ery. Many ot them are able to bold their cotton and we are glad to know, from conversation with many ot them, that tbev are doing so. It is nothing nnnsual theee days to hear farmers in the eastern section of our 8tate declare that they have cotton; that they arc not compelled by pecun iar' neeeesitiec to sell it at preesent prices, and that they are not going to do so. Every bale held off the market adde that moeb to the etreogth of the market and mikes higher prieee pot table. At to the relations of supply and de mand, based npnn the supposition ot a twelve million bale crop tbe current issue ot the Amerean Cotton Menu faeturer, published before the making public of the government't estimate, has the following to say, showing that such a crop would not be any too large for tbe world's needs for the year 1904-061 For two seasons many manufacturers have been mneh misled by tbe flax ot figures, and this year a 12,000.000 bale crop ie generally eeid to mean lo prieee, supposedly because this might mean a snooty greater thaa the Ukag capacity of the mills. Up to Beptembtr 1st last the mills rook the entire 1903 -C 4 eroo ot 10.123 680 balec. besides redoc ing tbe vieebl supply by some 51.000 bales. This year picking began ao mueh earlier than usual that 300 000 bsKs ot this season's yield were picked, ginned and takec in August, co that the actual pinner' consumption last year was 10.474 686 bles. Owing partly to extremely high prices brought about by speculative manipulation, but more especially to an absolute dearth of supplies, the mille curtailed their usual working boars to the extent of not lem then 1,000 000 bales. Add to this the admitted arir age atonal increase ia the world's need for cotton of 400,000 bales and we find that, granting that theee mills will work fall time daring the preeent crop year, tbe normal needs for this period of American cotton will be about 11.- 875 000 bales. The preeent outlook in dieetea a more than normal demand as newt comes to hand of unusual acti vity in England and on tba continent. Mew mult are being projected and old ones long idle, started np. Then again from the available supply for this year most be taken the 300 000 Aogset bales which really passed Into eon sumption in that month. It is evident therefore tbat even a crop of I2.UUU.UUU bales will not be more than enough to go round. IITIITT rati 1TMU. Ssveuty-First.
