IF you have a suit that comes

you have an exclusive high-art

extravaganza, for you can start at
the $500 suits and look the long
list over up to the $500 suits
and stop where you think extrav-

The announcement is made that Henry

at the meeting in Washington. on Decem-

IN he basis of representation in future re-

action at this time. The national commit

Mr.. Payne's resolution will read as fol-

Resolved That the republican national
committee recommend to the next national
convention that a new basis of representa-

silver, or No Alliance

The dispatches printed this morning con

day put ON the meeting of the silver repuh-
leans at Chicago. Ex-senator Dubois
frankly declares that uulrsssstlver is made

there will he no alliance next year between
the silver republicans and the democrats
This stands to reason Men like Mr.. Du-
hais and Senator Teller would be rcpubl-

had no quarrel with their party on any
other issue Nor has any issue arisen since
which oS itself would have caused them L"

that in order to Gefeat imperialism he is
willing to stand free silver. And Mr.. Du-

he IS willing to fight Imperialism. And
beth men are doubtless sincere. But neither
can muster a corpOrals guard in his section

The east is Overwhelmingly and unalter-

Pulpit Patriots.

One OF the most striking features of the
general observance Yesterday of Thanksgiv-
ing day was the almost unbrOken note of
patriotism which sounded from the pulpits
In this city and elsewhere the sermons ap-
prOpriate to the occasion were Couched in
the spirit OF cOntentment with prevailing
conditions. TIE mission of the United
States as a civilizer was recognized The
necessity of completing the work under
taken in the far east was emphasized. The
ISLANDERS upon the President and his help
ers were rebuked. Citizens of all denomi-
nations were urged to stand together for
the honor of the flag and the extension of
American institutions to the regions now
protected by that emblem. The opportunity
at hand to uplift a great mass of people by
offering to them opportunities for educa-
ton and refinement and a clearer apprecia-
ton of moral responsibilities was welcomed.
This chorus from the pulpits indicated how
the conservative thinkers and ministers of
the gospel feel about expansion. They are
not politicians, catering to a tickle constit
uency. They are not place seekers. serv-
ing their chances. They are not Conscience
less demagogues. trying to pervert the ideals
o. the people. They are rather teachers
leaders by right of their attachments and
their virtues men of intellect and respon-
Sihility. Jealous for the spread of truth and
light, earnest workers in a good cause. in
whatever name they preach or whatever
doctrines they promulgate. Their united
voice of patriotic faith in the country is
far more potent than that of the politicians,
who, for the sake of an imaginary advan-
tage in party mareuverings revile the ma
ton through its heads, praise its enemies.
blaspheme its institutions and invite disa4-
ter to its prosperity.

and Tennessee, have no good argument to
arrangement. In the lower southern states
there is no longer a republican party with
the least hope left of local success, or of
being able to contribute TO national sue
cess. The great majority of the republican
voters have been disfranchiSed. and the
democrats are so safely and completely in
control that they may go to the polls or
stay at home in large numbers and the re-
suit Is always the same. Clearly. therefore,
to allow states in such a condition repre-
sentation on the floor of republican national
conventions on terms which in close con-
test would control the proceedings, write
the platforms and name the candidates, il
no longer wise or just.
1t is occasionally suggested that this
wholesale Acknowledgement in the south is
likely to be nulitied sooner or later by tho
Supreme Court. That Is a question. Ia
operation and intent it violates the Consti.
tuition Of the United States. A large NUM-
Der of men are barred from the suffrage
because of their color and previous Condi.
ton of servitude. But however this legal
phase of the matter may eventually be set
tied, nothing IS more certain than that for
many years to come the black man will not
count in the political equation in the south.
He Is shut out now by state laws If they
should be oyerthrown, resort would again
be made to intimidation at the polls and to
manipulating the ballots after they have
