THE EFFECT OF THE BILL BAsING RRpREsES-
rArIoS UPON VoTERs.-The radicals, who are
now clamoring for an amendment to the Con-
stitution changing the representation in Con-
gress from population to a voting basis,
their object being to compel the South to
make the negroes vOters] do not quite realize
the effect of that measure We're it adopted.
True, it would largely reduce the representa-
ton of the Southern States We're the negroes
not allowed to vote; but it would also have
the following consequences l. 1t would cut
down the present and future representation of
New England, on account of the excess of fe-
males and old people, as compared with the
Western States. 2. 1t would deprive the At
lantic seaboard and manufacturing localities
of Congressman Wherever aliens were largely
employed. 3. 1t would add very largely to
the representation of the Western States
where the male population is largely in excess
of the female; and 4. 1t would give O. dispro-
portionate representation to California and
the mining regions, where the males are ten
to one to the females. In short, it would
make the West all-powerful in the Govern
ment almost Immediately upon the adoption
of the amendment-Ne,o York World.

The industrial problem of the South, now
awaiting solution, is beginning to arouse the
attention of the whole country. The Boston
Journal Justly remarks that, in truth, it is
hardly less the problem of the North than OF
the South. The American Consul at Liver
pool has expressed the opinion, conceded in!by
the Secretary of the Treasury, that the amount
Of cotton now on hand in the United States,
inclusive of the crop Of the present year, does
! not probably exceed seven hundred and fifty
thousand bales. This statement would not be
so significant if there were fair prospect that
the next crop would be IN average one. But
who believes it will be even one million OF
bales The time for planting is close at hand
What is done at all for the next crop must be
/ done within a few weeks, and yet the Industry
of the cotton States remains disorganiZed Inc
old order of things has passed away and the
new is not established. There is 4 deficiency
of capital. Tools and implements are want
ing. The Iaborers are distrustful of their old
masters and the masters are in many cases
discouraged.
Il is hardly the part of wisdom for Con-
gress to be discussing abstract questions of po
litical philosophy when industrial questions,
rather tim political, demand the Immediate
consideration of all who are interested in the
prosperity of the country. With the wheels of
industry once more set in motion in comlnuni
ties now desolated and disorganiZed, content
and plenty would soon be restored. Is not the
North as much interested in the result as the
South? What is to become of Northern COM
MERGE and Northern manufacture, of the re-
venue and credit of the nation, if confidence is
not encouraged between the white and negro
races, if the one is not stimulated to enterprise
as we'll rs the other protected in his industry
National bankruptcy and universal ruin can
be the only consequence of giving over the most
fertile territory in the Republic to the barren
ness and desolation of desert. The only way
to rescue the country from impending ruin is
to sustain the President in his patriotic and
concilatory policy, to put an end to sectional
jealouses and hostility, and to make the people
of the South feel that they are not regarded Us
aliens and strangers.

Glasgow, Paris, and Vienna, the specu-
lation would not only confer a public be-
neit, but prove highly remunerative both
now and hereafter to the capitalists who
should invest their money in it. Specu-
l%ation, however, does not take this turn
at present. The holders of real estate
are alarmed at the prospect of being eat
en- up with taxes, general and local, and
have no spirit 10 entertain the idea of new
enterprises. The consequence threatens
to be that Manhattan Island, which is
only half covered with buildings, and
which, to the north of the central-park,
presents the appearance Of a newIy-plan-
ned city in the wilderness thioIy dotted
with buildings, will be left unfinished,
and that the adjoining towns and villages,
separate from it by the Hudson and the
East River, and the beautiful Bay of New
York, will profit by the greediness or
neglect of the property holders of the
metropolis. A much better house can
be hired in London for 1907 per annum
than can be procured in New York for
1907. Yet building speculation is dead
unless, as before stated, for the conversion
of dW~eIIinghouSes into warehouses and

with the whole retail and some portion
OF the wholesale trade-refuse to lower
prices, or, at all events, defer doing so
until military events become more clear
ly defined, and victory more thoroughly
out of the reach Of accident. NotWith-
standing the fall, the necesSaries and the
~luXurIes of life maintain their war prices,
while In house-rent and fuel there has
been a positive increase. The owners
OF real estate, alarmed at the increase not
only of Federal, but of State, taxation
have in thousand of instances refused to
let their houses as in former years, and
insisted upon selling them, at almost ia
buIouS rates of purchase, IN greenbacks.
The tendency Of this has been to create
such a competition for the houses still
remaining to be let by the year or on
lease for a longer term that the landlords
have as a rule added 60 and even 100 per
cent. to their previous rentals. New
