Progress III the South.

The solid south is evidently broken.
The first signs Of the new order showed
themselves two years ago. when Maryland,
Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee
Increased the number of their republican
Representatives in Congress. These signs
were emphasized last year when Maryland
and Kentucky in their local affairs passed
under republican control This year, Mary
land, West Virginia, Delaware, and. in
effect, and may be in actual TACT, Ken
lucky, give their electoral votes to the
republican national ticket. Moreover, even
in those sections of the south where Mr..
Bryan was indorsed, the maiorities were
very small as compared with the demo-
cratic majorties of former years. The fig
ures in both Virginia and Arkansas were
greatly reduced, and not even in Texas vas
it found possible this time to pile the demo-
cratic vote up Ligh the sky.
This is one of the most wholesome results
of Tuesdays elections. The south's politi-
cal solidarity has long needed to be broken
for the souths own good. That solidarity.
brought about by the race issue, has been
continued long after there was any further
excuse for it The fear of negro domination
is childish now. Wherever it is invoked it
serves nc better purpose than to forward
the ends of some local machine. 1t will
not bear examination for a moment. Mary
land and Kentucky, each with large negro
population. have been enjoying republican
rule for year now. and with only good
results. Those in authority are giving those
states safe and reputable government The
negro is as far from being dominant there
as he was when the democrats were in
power
Why should not this spirit spread
throughout the south? Why should mere
bugaboo longer prevent the south from TAX
ing business-like view of business Cues-
tions?
II is superf1uous to praise the south. She
is easily one of the fairest sections of the
country, and one of the richest in re-
sources. She deserves the best that fortune
has to bestoW. But her political alliances
are not only Illogical but absolutely mex
cusable. She has but to cut loose from
Missionaries and closet philosophers, and give
her hand to men of practical craftsmanship,
to become, as by right she should already
be. most influential factor in the progress
of the Union

The Car and Ii Hung Chang are again
at home. Both have been on notable jour
neys, and both must necessarily have re-
turned from them with enlarged views and
many new plans. Both are men of great
consequence in the present makeup of the
world, and the world is interested in what
ever those plans may prove to be.
The ChinamaH trip must have been the
most Instructive ever taken by a states
man of his race. He not only saw the Won
ders CT the most progressive countries on
the globe, but saw them under cirCum-
stances in every way exceptional for a
correct understanding of them. He was
the guest of every country he visited, and
under the escort OF leading officials and
citizens. who were at pains to supply him
with all the information he desired. The
curiosity he manifested was not only
boundless, but thorough and systematic
He made 1T evident everywhere that he
was on no holiday jaunt. but was improv-
ing the time diligently as a student of men
and their institutions
How much Of what this remarkable man
gathered on his travels will be available
for application at home time alone can TELL
But that China will benefit by a great deal
of it is an entirely safe assumption. Ii
Hung Chang Is a man of both learning and
progress. aad has for years stood valiantIy
Tor the little progress possible in so indo-
lent and backward a country. His powers
are now being extended. and the opportu-

carrying out of any new policies be may

District Committee Changes.

One direct effect of the election will be
seen in the makeup of the District COM
pittees of the Fifty-fifth Congress. Natur-
ally there viii be more changes in the
House committee than in the SeEate. or
the fifteen members of the former body
only six have been reelected. Representa-
tiyes Babcock, Harmer Curtis of Iowa,
Shannon, Oden and Richardson, One who
was renominated, Mr.. Mines, was defeated.
Six others were not placed in nomination,
Representatives Hulick, Huling, Rusk.
Meredith, Abbot ard Cobb of Missouri.
One of the original fifteen was unseated
during the last session. Mr.. Cobb of Ala
hama. and he was not in the race for re-
election Mr. Wellington was ineligible for
denomination, having been elected to the
Senate. Thus of the entire committee nine
will be new men, even if all the survivors
are reassigned. This is an unusually large
percentage of change But Chairman Bah
cock on the republican side and Mr.. Rich
ardson on the democratic are familiar with
the reeds of the District, and with nine
good men assigned to the committee in
addition to their associates left sitting they
should be able to accomplish desirable re-
suits.
On the Senate side there are but three
Gallinger, HanSbrough,, Pritchard and Glib
son expire next March. Mr. Gallinger will
almest surely succeed himself and MIR.
Gibson's successor is already named. The
legislature of North Dakota seems now to
be surely republican. Mr.. Hansbreugh may
be embarrassed i'll his canvass by the use
against him of his former free silver views.
but he expects nevertheless to be reelected.
In North Carolina the republicans have a
plurality in the legislature, but they lack
a majority. They have an understanding
with the populists that hardly amounts TO
a fusion on the senatogship. however, and
lively three-cornered fight is promised
when Mr.. Pritchard is proposed for another
term. Mr.. Pritchard's chances are thought
to be little better than those of any other
named candidate. The outlook is that the
Senate will be controlled by the republicans
and that the present organization of the
committees will not be disturbed in the
main. This will leave Senator Mcmillan at
the head of District affairs in the upper
house. an arrangement that will greatly
please practically all Washington.

hays in mind. The only regret is that this
good fortune should not have eeHae to him
earlier in life. At his age he can hardly
hope to more than tnaugprate and indicate
his purposes, leaving the carrying forward
of the work to something like fruition to
his successor in office. 1t is to be hoped
that the report associating his sons name
with that responsibility may prove to be
true Lord Ii was in his fathers train
on this trip, and must have shared in the
inspiration and instruction of it.
The Gar, of course was not a stranger,
as Ii Hung Chang was, to the countries
beyond his own. But he visited for the
first time as the Czar, and had the first
taste of his power and Importance as one of
the great rulers. He was made much of,
and it seemed to impress him. The cheers
OF republican France were the heartiest
that he heard, though all were hearty He
Is just beginning his reign. His character
Is praised and his powers are said to be
pFaisewortny. He is fortunate in the pos
session of young wife whose training has
been of the hest, and whose influence over
him must work only for good. There Is
great call for progress in Russia. and this
young man may answer 1t, He cannot
have viewed the conditions prevailing In
England, France, Austria and Germany
without comparing them with the condi-
tiens prevailing in Russia; and If he is
worthy of his crown he will give his people
the full benefit, consistent with their en-
vironment. Of what may be necessary to
tne advancement Of their general welfare.
Inc United States is interested In both
countries. Russia Is our neighbor on the
Pacific side. and China is not so far away.
Progress in those two countries means in
creased trade for us. We have much that
both OF them need. and will seek here in
the opening of any new era there. We can
we'll afford, therefore. to rejoice in what
ever is attempted there looking toward the
developing of sections swarming with peo-
pie and so greatly in want of development.

1ty here, as well as general betterment

Te1ephonic fmpatience.

Note is frequently made in the news
papers of the wonderful speed attained
in the handling of certain telegraphic
dispatches, time and space being anni-
hilated. But this is not the way the
average telegram is treated. When a
message has once been handed in at a
telegraph office, the sender, no matter
how much he may have rushed before,
saunters off with easy If
he could only see his message lodging
from one department to another, and
then stuck on Il hook TO take it's turn,
he might not feel quite so nonchalant.
In amusing contrast is the funny impa-
thence with which the user of a tele-
phone awaits connection with the num-
Der he has called up, in cast he is ad-
yised thai the line is busy Seconds
become interminable. and in a minute
or two the service is voted desperately
bad. although. in the case of the tele-
gram. the delay nav be Il full hour. of
which the sender usually remains in
blissful ignorance.
