respectful appeal by the New York Journal

testimony offered in the Senate by Senator
Rerels, in tavor Of the speedy disentLral]-

Says the Journal Of Commerce.:

Southern people on these points: SenAInr Revels
speaks 50 highly and confidently Of mississippi,
because he Knows that State and represents her at
washington. But other men, more dtstnterested
than he, who have the best opportunities Of know

We have reason to believe that, instead of
Senator Revels being looked down upon in
the Senate, there is feeling that he repre-
sents race as well as State-giving him
q constituency virtually Of four and half
millions of people, OF more than are repre-
scented by any other Senator. When he
speaks, therefore, which Is not too often
