SOUTHERN . REPRESENTATION.
Representative Keifer of Ohio, on
yesterday introducea a, om m m
House to cut down Southern repre
sentation. The bill stated specifically
the reduction desired by the gentle
man from Ohio.
YELLOW FEVER.
It is always profitable ' to take an
inventory. A cursory review - of the
past is profitable for the welfare of the
future. This fact is known by those
in the section visited by the plague of i
yellow fever last year.
The health authorities of Louisiana
and New Orleans seem to be stead
fastly determined to prevent any fu
ture onslaught of the plague. They are
Weaving no stone unturned.
Recently there was a meeting .at
Alexandria, one of the towns on the
Red river, where there was some fever
i,m in tho' durihg last summer. The meeting was
attended by the Governor, the State
and New Orleans Boarcrs of Health and
representatives from the various parts
of the state of Louisiana. All the var-

reason given by Mr. Keifer for the re-1
duction was the disfranchisement of
the negro. ' v
It is getting to be an old tale; with
Southern people to hear, at almost
mmrv iossinTi of Coneress. of some
man or other introducing a resolution
akin to this. We have come to pay
little heed to it, for it amounts to
little.
It is a little hard to understand, or
be able to explain, however, the
consistency of a man. wuo would advo
cate the reduction of the representa
tion in one section and not in another,
where similar conditions prevail.
The alleged reason for this reduc
tion given by Mr. Keifer is because of
the disfranchisement of the negro.
Then may we not ask Why a similar
The mode of the campaign made in
New Orleans last year was endorsed
by the members of the meetings, the
extermination of the mosquito, the
screening of cisterns and the isolation
of patients by screening, etc'
It was only recently that the State
Board of Health visited every place
where fever existed last year and fumi
gated all the once-infected dwellings.
Medical experts have also visited
Central American ports to arrange for
prompt warnings of danger and to se
cure co-operation.
It appears that every step possible
to be taken has been made and that
the chances of another ravage of the
plague this year are exceedingly im
probable. With a good system cf

ple, the benfits of past experience and

Northern and Western States, where
a large part of the citizenship is dis
franchised because of the educational
and property qualifications to the
franchise?
But in such a resolution one is not
liable to expect anything savoring of
consistency or fair play, and for that
very reason the resolution should
merit little consideration, as it does,
with people of fair minds wherever
they may be found.
NATIONAL REUNION.
It is now proposed to hold in Wash
ington city at no far distant date a na
tional reunion of all the old soldiers
who were engaged in the Civil War,
the Mexican Mar, the war with Spain
and the campaigns with the Philip
pines and China, together with all sons
of veterans.
The idea is to continue the rally for
one week and a part of the programme
will be one grand review before the
President.
We trust that the reunion may be
arranged as planned and that all the
soldiers of many wars may be allowed
to meet, to forget past differences and
to join in' one grand and happy , reunion.
cause for serious worry.
In the Daily Messenger published at
Washington, N. C.,: is the announce
ment of Mr. F. A. Hampton as the newly-elected
general manager of that pa
per. Mr. Hampton has for several
months been connected with the edi
torial and business departments of
The News, only withdrawing recently
to take up his new work. Mr. Hamp
ton is a young man of ability . and
while with The News made many
friends who wish him success in his
new work.
Greensboro is noted for her good
luck in getting all the famous trials.
It was stated yesterday that the cases
against Mr. Blackburn would be tried
there at a special term of court some
time in April. More sensation for the
Gate City. Surely her history cannot
contain many more cases like those of
"Old Nick," Samuels, and now Blackburn.
This from the Asheville Citizen :
"Bernhardt and Nordica coming in
one month! Wonder what Charlotte
will have to say to that?"
We envy you. , "Divine Sarah" and
Nordica are stars of the first magni
tude. You have done surpassingly
v ell for a village of your size.
Asheville boasts of having Bern
hardt and Nordica in one month. Ashe
ville is still behind Salisbury, who can
brag of Bernhardt and "Mother" Jones.
It appears that an auto gets a man
in almost as much trouble as his
tongue. For instance, the recent
Vanderbilt incident as an example.
Germany says she will make a con
cession if France will, and vice versa.
It is a matter of reciprocity you
pinch me. and I pinch you. .
It appears that Bernhardt will yet
be permitted . .to go on exhibition in
peaceful old Texas under shelter of her
spreading lent. Think of' it!
; The patience of all connected with
the; Greene Gaynor trial will . prob
ably be abnormally developed before
it is over. i : -v' ". '.
.On yesterday another . charter was
issued to a Charlotte firm. It is getting
to be almost a daily 'affair. .
CHINESE SITUATION.
From the reports of yesterday the
situation in China is growing extreme
ly serious. The dispatches were con
flicting. At first it. was reported that
the mission station at Nanchang was
destroyed and that fourteen American
missionaries had made their, escape,
while an English family had been mas
sacred. Later dispatches stated that the sit
uation was not so serious, although
there had been local trouble of no little
consequence.
Look at the matter as you may, the
safety of the missionaries is far from
secured. It is hard to tell when the
news will come of the death and
slaughter of many of those in far-off
China."
It is impossible to predict any result
of the anti-foreign feeling. We can
only await results with apprehension,
and hope that peace may be speedily
restored.

WATCH THE HEAVENS.
Friday Night the Moon Will Swallow,
as it Were, a Star. ,
Those of astronomical taste will
see an interesting sight if they watch
the heavens on the evening of March
2. The moon will swallow, as it were,
a star.
High up in the southwestern sky will
be observed a brilliant star. This is
the planet Jupiter, the largest of the
solar system. It makes an irrgular tri
angle, with two little groups of stars,
the. one to right of Jupiter being the
Pleiades, which is a hazy little patch
often called the Seven Stars. To the
left of Jupiter, but a little further off,
will be found Hyades, which is a V
shaped group with the brilliant red
dish first magnitude star, Aldebaran,
at the left hand end of the V. The ce
lestial phenomenon is connected with
Aldebaran.
Next Friday evening Aldebaran will
be occupied by the moon: i. e., the
moon will shut the star out from view.
This will occur at about 10:35 when
the star will be suddenly extinguished,
as it were, and at about 11:37 it will
reappear with equal suddenness on the
other side of the moon.' As the moon
has no atmosphere and the star has no
size it will disappear with surprising
suddenness, and on Friday evening it
will be particulaly interesting be
cause the dark side of the moon will
occult Aldebaran and it will seem to
disappear from the sky without' any
apparent cause.
As this is a free show there should
be a larse attendance .
