THE SAME OLD BASIS.
The Basis of Representation at the
Rennhlican Convention.

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec 11-Further con.
sideration of the plan of Senator Frye for
the restriction of representation in the Ma
tional Republican convention from states
which do not cast Republican electoral votes
shows that the plan will not be adopted by
the committee. One of the active committee
men said: "Mr. Frye's plan is in substance a
modification of the plan of Martin, of Kan
saS which was voted down at the last meet
ing of the committee. There will be no pur-
pose, so far as l can learn, to modify the
system of representation 1t is too
late to do that. Moreover, the changes sug-
gested might conflict with interests which
we do not understand To restrict the rep
resentation in the states indicated would be
to put unnecessary limitations upon Repub-
licans. 1t would be to say that the Repub-
ican vote in those states had reached its
maximum, and that the Republicans need
not exert themselves to do any better More
over, if Arthur is q candidate the south is the
field where he naturally would expect to Sc
cure delegates"
The same gentleman said he had no doubt
that Arthur was candidate to succeed him
self and that the move to have the conven-
ton held in the east was in his interest.
There is much difference of opinion among
New York men as. to Arthur's strength in
his own state, some claiming that he can
and others that he cannot carry the state
as Logan candidate" was asked of the
committeeman "He undoubtedly is but he
does not seem to be making any organiza-
ton. He, of course, expects his own state
and would undoubtedly get it, although he
has some strong opponents. He would be
apt to get some delegate from the south, but
do not hear that he is working for any,"

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11.-Postal Inspector
Ables, of this city, has returned from Wilkes
barre, where he had been dispatched to break
up local postal company. The concern was
known as the "Wilkesbarre Messenger, H.
telligence and Directory company" 1t
was conducted as a local postage deliv-
cry, and established in opposition to the
government postal service. These private
postal and express companies have been
established in the principal cities of the
United States, and have been warred against
and suppressed by the government until they
are now confined in their operations to
second-class cities. The private concerns
charge / cent for the local delivery of postal
matter, whereas the government charges
double that amount.
Some time ago service of this character
was established in this city known as Guys
agency, and was patronized by the principal
business houses of the city Inspector Bar
rett took the matter in hand and succeeded in
suppressing the agency. Several prominent
merchants were fined from $50 Ito $50 for pat

statesmen know it is best not to touch it. Look
at the matter the way Postmaster General
Gresham puts it. In a political campaign the
dominant party would use it every time for
their own purposes There would be 50 much
dissatisfaction that the people would get tired
of it in a very short time. They don't under
stand it now, but are loking simply for cheap
rates-want to send message to any place
for Is or rs cents; but when they found the
business wasn't handled like private cor
poration handles it they would wish they had
continued to pay so cents and left the lines
in the hands of individuals.

Nixan is quite as jolly as ever. She is one of
the prettiest French women that Maurice
Grau ever brought to America, and her
popularity during her short engagement here
was very great. She had just become a

New York, Dec 11-"Gath" says that
James A. Gary, proprietor of the Abortion
mills on the Patopsco river, speaking of the
increase of cotton manufacture in the south
said: From pecuniary point of view it
would have been better for us if we had shut
down ninety days ago, The south
for the past five or ten years has had
a mania for putting up cotton mills
Then the improvements in machinery are
such that each spindle viii produce three
times as many goods as it could fifteen years
ago. With the exception of the skilled opera
tives, who were drawn from the Maryland
mills, the wages there are p, 60, and even 81
per cent lower than we pay, and the hours of
labor are longer. Their operatives live
cheaply, and know nothing of the domestic
comforts which ours have. The southern
mills are among the best in point of construc
ton The southern railroads make
tariffs by which the mill products are carried
north as sixth-class goods while they charge
the same goods made north and sent south
first.class. Cotton goods from the mills at
Augusta and Columbus, Georgia, are carried
north for As cents 100 pounds, but the same
goods sent from the north must pay Sl.25.
This is protection of the south against north
ern competition. The railroads claim that
they make low rates on northern bound
freight rather than send cars back from the

LONDON, Dec. T-All Mary Anderson's
previous successes were surpassed by her
performance as Galatia, where her
ease and grace where shown to special
advantage by her classic severity OF
the Athenian costume. Her absolutely per-
feet Interpretation of naive innocence fairly
enraptured the fashionable audience that
crowded the pit and gallery. When
the bewitchingly beautiful statue OF
Galatea was unveiled, the public seemed
taken by surprise, and gazed few
moments in silent admiration, as if spell
bound, and then spontaneously burst into a
storm OF applause. At the end of the first
act the American actress was called three
times before the curtain and showered with
bouquets, several of which were trimmed
with red, white, and blue streamers

of this retreat the hunters saw huge, hairy
object, apparently half man and half beast,

woods, running with great speed. Mistaking
it for wild animal, one of the hunters fired
