CUTTING DOWN REPRESENTA-
TON.

The fact that in half dozen South
ern States quite number of wealthy
business men, manufacturers and
bankers voted for Mckinley has en-
couraged scme Northern Republicans
| to believe that the time is near at hand
for building up a strong Republican
party. in the South. The Hampshire
Gazette, published at Northampton,
Mass, which is now in its 10th vol
ume, the editor of which is regarded
| as the most dispassionate and OBJ
servant editorial commentator in the
country" contains an editorial on the
question of reduction of representa-
ton that IS in line with the view that
it is good politics for the Republicans
not to trouble the South. 1t says:
''There has been some disposition
shown among Congressman to reduce
the representation in Congress of
those States which have deprived the
negroes of the right of suffrage. But
there are so many difficulties in the
way that the attempt, if made, would
be likely to fail 1t would stir up
much bitter feeling, with no compen-
sating benefits. Senator Hawley is not
III favor of it. He says:
This is no time for the precipitation
| of such an important matter. We will
not have the time or opportunity to dis
cuss this subject. 1t must come before
us in a long session of Congress. 1t would
lead to violent and almost endless de-
hot To he h.
to put stop to such a discussion. This
is a matter that can wait. I believe,
however, that the constitution contem
plated the reduction of Congressional rep
resentation under certain circumstances
If Southern or any other States do not
allow certain classes of people to vote
it is only logical that the nation call upon
them for reduction in their representa-
tion 1t would only be just"
president Mckinley has told the
members of his cabinet and others who
are close to him that the subject
should not be even discussed. He be-
lieves that not until there are two
parties in the South will that section
enjoy the business prosperity that has
prevailed in the North and West. nor
will capital from the North be willing
to go there. If the question of negro
suffrage is discussed now, it will only
provoke opposition from Democrats,
and result in no legislation that can
be satisfactorily enforced; while, if
the question can be passed by. the
solidity of the Democratic party in
the South will in time break up natu-
rally, with two white mems parties
contending for success. Following
that condition of things, the colored
citizens would have opportunity to re-
gain their rights at the ballot box

What Are Stronger Than Facts?

To Mrs Joe Person: B
My little boy was sorely troubled with
impurities of the blood, and the result
was boils and sores on his body to such
an extent that he could not rest while
lying on his back or side, but for three
weeks he had to lie with his face down,
and turn his head from side to side to
rest it. After consulting prominent
physician he told me to try your Remedy,
which l did. After using it short time
he was completely cured, and his general
health restored.
At the same time that my little boy
was afflicted with these sores and boils,
his bowels were in a very bad condition,
and this medicine effected a complete
cure of them.

Remedy, and would not be without it in

Luzon, returned 70 the vicinity of

"They were doubtless encouraged by
citizens of the United states and others
acting without authority" General Otis
declares. TO attempt the organization
OF what they were pleased TO denom-
mate an independent government for
