THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. s, 1895

IN REFERRING to the refusal of sew
eral Southern legislatures to invite
President Mckinley to be their guest
during his proposed visit to the troops
who are to be sent to Cuba, one OF the
Washington republican newspapers
says IS legislature that affronts the
Chief Magistrate of the nation for no
other cause than that he is the leader OF
the party to which the majority OF that
legislature is opposed, has no right to
make pretense OF patriotism" But
the legislatures referred to didn't base
their refusal to invite Mr.. Mckinley TO
be their guest on any such ground.
They refused to invite him for the rea'
son that he offered gratuitous insult
to their people by imposing upon them
negro officers, whi,h he would not have
dared to do in the North, and though
there were plenty of reputable anc
efficient Southern white republicans 10
whom, if he had been so disposed, be
could have given those offices.

UNITED STATES Senators are repre-
sentatives of their respective Staets in
the u. S. Congress, and majority OF
them can veto the Presidents actions.
Such duties necessarily disqualify them
from acting as his chosen agents in pre-
pairing treaties which they will pass
upon subsequently, in their Senatorial
capacity. Senator Hoar is not often
right, but that he is, in his opposition to
the selection ofSenators for such work
as is referred to, is not doubted by
those wise enough to forsee danger in

THE U. S. House of Representatives
Yesterday passed the bill to break up
the trade in railroad tickets, known
generally as the autiscalpers' bill.
Should such bill become law, the ef-
feet would naturally bs to close the
scalpers' Offices and make them do their
business on the streets and in the ho-
tells, where those who deal with them
would have no redress. Ia other
words, it would be ss imperative as the

BAILEY AND WHEELER.-Conside
Die interest was aroused in the House
of Representatives yesterday afternoon
by rumor that Representative Bailey
was prepared to challenge the right
of Major General Wheeler to vote.
should he attempt to do so on the anti.
scalping bill. General Wheeler knew
MIR. Bailey had signifed his intention
to question his right TO vote while oc-
cupying the position of msjor.general
in the army, and said he would not ex.
ercise his right unless it was necessary
to accomplish the passage or defeat of
any measure. Otherwise he would re.
fraiG from voting, and thus avoid the
unpleasant discussion which would
naturally be evoked by Mr.. Bailey's
contemplated action. There would,
however, have been no suggestion of
personal animosity in Mr.. Bsiley's &C
tion, for there is no one who is more
respected by him than Gen. Wheeler.

CERTAIN republican newspapers ID
the North and in Washington persist in
their demands for reduction 10 the con
eressional representation of the South,
on account of the sfnall vote cast ct
Southern elections. They don't seem
to understand that representation Is
based upon the number of people, not
on the number of voters, and that there
can be perfectly fair election without
a large vote. Now that negroes have at
asst discovered the iusincerity of the
professed friendship OF the republicans,
;nsy don't care about voting as much
as they formerly did, aud then too,
votes do not sell for as much in the
South as they do in the North. There
isn't man, white or black, who de-
MES that there was a perfectly fair cleo
ton in this congressional district at the
late election, and yet, though the popu-
lation OF the district is 100000, only
seven thousand votes were cast.
