A despatch to the New York Herald from

pie that the Argentine Republic Is already
entering upon another period OF rebellion.

The Harrison LorIng Failure.

WASHINGTON, October 19.-The Navy
Department has been informed of the failure
of Harrison Loring & Co.. shipbuilders at
tion of the armed cruised, No. II, and three
tug boats, but as yet has not determined its
course In the matter. The cruiser Is about
half finished and the tugs about four-ffths
finished. 1t is said at the department that
the government Is amply protected by the
that there has been no delay whatever In the
matter Of payments to Harrison Loring &
Co. and that their applications for payments
have been promptly honored SO far as the
progress OF the work performed is justified.
The real canse Of the failure is Thought to
lay In the fact that they underto Ok To per-

between whites and blacks, and more
whites than blacks are shot at and
wounded and killed by whites in the
South, but there is no trace war" no
chance for political capital, and such
affairs are simply used by Northern
papers to advertise the South to its
disadvantage. But If the human ma
ture in man breaks out between white
and black skins, rather than between
men of the same color. the jaundiced
press Of the North sees race war and
intimidation" in what is but the pure
cussedness that finds exemplication in
the North and South every day.
The truth is, that Southern white
men avoid difficulties with negroes and
frequently under provocations that
would be speedily resented were the
offender white man. \ Yankee" is
far more likely to resent the swagger-
ing, bullying and general offensiveness
OF too many town negroes than South

toned to it and pity the ignorance that
prompts the initiative negro to copy
the vices rather than the virtues of
the white in towns. Not three days
ago in this city burly negro with his
hat on one side Of his head and a two
cent cigar in one side OF his mouth,
went staggering down Main street,
a Ia Sullivan, showing white people to
the right and left, who simply turned
and looked at the brute, and laughed.
Had the offender been white man he
would have been knocked into the
street dozen times. The South pities
the negro, and, left undisturbed by the
devilish partisanship of the North, there
would be no trouble among the races.
If the North would see more humanity
in the negro and less angel, and
more humanity in the Southern white
man and less devil, and attend strictly
to its own trace wars" it would be
better for the negro and for the country.

THE United States supreme court has
sustained the prohibitory legislation OF
Kansas and Iowa that was in danger OF
falling to the ground through the
original package" decision OF the
Federal district courts. The lower
Federal courts held that unbroken
packages sent from one state to another
were in the nature Of interstate traffic,
and no state could enact laws to ex-
clude them. The effect of this decision
was, if it weEe sustained, to render
nugatory the legislation of Kansas and
Iowa against whisky, as it could be sent
from any of the surrounding states to
consumers, and was protected against
seizure as long as it was delivered TO
the consignees in unbroken packages.
But the reversal of that decision by the
supreme court puts the prohibitionists
upon their legs once more, and bars
original packages containing contra
band goods. The thirsty tippler must
turn 10 other sources for solace.

These figures tell their story and
make their appeal with an eloquence
that the spirit of justice cannot resist.
With a state population of 2.235,-
600 and a senate of thirty-one mem
bers the ratio of representation is one
to 1900. The districts that fall
below this ratio are the First, Third,
Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh, Thirteenth, Seventeenth,
Nineteenth, Twenty-second, Twenty
third, Twenty-ffth, Twenty-sixth and
Thirtieth. The others have a sur
plus of population. The most notable
instances of disparity are the Third
and Twenty-eighth districts, one
with only 26,73l persons in it, the
other with 104,S72. One man in the
Third district has as much power in
the senate, speaking through his
representative, as four in the Twenty
eighth. The sixteen districts in
which the population is deficient have
one member in the senate to g., 500
persons. The fifteen districts in
which there is redundant popula-
ton have one member to $1,000 per-
sons. One million people have six
teen senators to look after their
interests, while 1885, 900 have only
fifteen senators to defend them.
1t is ten years since the state was ap-
portioned into senatorial and repre-
sentative districts. In ten years popu-
lation has shifted from the East to the
West. The unrepresented population
is nearly all west of the Houston and
Texas Central railroad, because in that
territory the growth has been greatest.
Compare the Third district with the
Nineteenth. in 1880 and 1890 The
Third numbered 25,ll7 souls in 1880,
and the Nineteenth 25.S47. After ten
years the Third had but 26,73l, while
the Nineteenth had 64,e62 Compare,
also, the Second and the Twenty
eighth, with 81. 565 and 6l, 1876, respect
lively. in 1880, and 1883 and l0i,s.O,
respectively, in 1890. They were nearly
equal in numbers at the time the state
was laid off in districts. Now they are
far apart. SO rapidly has the West out
stripped the East in growth.
To readjust on more equitable basis
these discrepancies that the lapse Of
decade has made in different quarters
OF the state; to give the citizen of one
part OF the state an equal voice in gov
ornamental affairs with the citizen OF
another part: 20 guarantee g truly re-

Mr.. STEWART, the Nevada senator,
would like to have the constitution
amended so as to make a president in
eligible to a second term. 1t is not a
bad idea; neither is it an original one.
In the convention that framed our con-
stitution there We're a number Of advo-
Gates of the one-term plan. 1t was to
be long term-abouJ seven years-but
the president could not he candidate
for denomination. Harrison is work
ing for q second term, and with the as
sistance of 100000 oflice-holders, in
spite OF civil-service reform prohibit
ton he can probably force himself upon
the Republican party as their candi-
date in 1892. But when it comes 10
forcing himself upon the people that is
another thing.

NEED OF AN EXTRA SESSION.

4 republican form OF government,
where the people rule through their
representatives in the legislative as
semblies, demands that every citizen
should have an equal voice in deciding
questions of the general welfare. AS a
perfect ratio ef representation is de-
parted from, in that degree power is
Withdrawn from one that is his due and
given to another that is not his due.
To make this proposition palmer and
more striking, we turn to the inexora-
bic logic Of figures. They show the
population OF each senatorial district in
Texas. The representative districts are
as unequal in population as these COM
parsons show the senatorial districts
to be. but the argument cannot be en-
phasized by adding TO the figures sub
mitted.
