Southern Representation.

The scheme that the Republicans are cherishing crops out here and there in their newspapers. Their courage may not equal they are thinking of, says the Chicago Inter- Ocean:
 Nearly 100000 negroes are without rep resentation now in the State governments of the Southern States. They are excluded from participation in elections, State and national. Under these conditions is it wise and just that the South should have in the national Legislature representation based upon these inhabitants?
 'The South cannot expect to have its loaf and eat 1t. If the negroes are entitled to votes they are entitled also to representa- ton in Congress. If they are not entitled to votes they are not entitled to represen- tation, and the Southern delegations in Congress should be cut down accordingly"
 As all qualified male adults are entitled to vote in the South, the point is not we'll taken, but facts and logic will not be per- cans think they can cut down without in- jury to themselves Southern representation. Let us see, therefore, what they are going on We give Section of the Fourteenth amendment.
 Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of elec- tors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Con- gress, the executive and judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male mem bers of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for partici- patton in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State"
 Section l of the Fifteenth Amendment is as follows:
 "The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previ- ous condition of seryitude"

A REPUBLICAN CONVERT.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 MT. w. D. Bynum formerly of Indiana, who announces that he has joined the Re- publican party, was one of the most 5ex- treme Democratic partisans while he was member of Congress. He occupied then very much the position that MT. Lentz of Ohio does now. One day his attitude to- ward the Republicans was so offensive, and also so violative of the rules of order that a vote was passed instructing the speaker to publicly reprimand him. Speaker Reed executed this duty with as much forbear- ance as could have been expected but af- ter it was over MT. Bynum impudently de- clared that he esteemed it an honor to be decorated with the dislike" of his Repub- lcan associates.

OLD STEWART MANSION SOLD

From the New York Herald.
 Alexander T. Stewards many heirs have at last sold the famous mansion of the dead merchant prince The price paid for the property is in the neighborhood of one and one-half million dollars. The buyer is a syndicate comprising wealthy real es- tate operators and bankers.
 The Stewart property has a frontage of 119 feet on Fifth Avenue and 15O feet on Thirty-fourth street, and is thus sufficient ly large for an imposing structure. It was purchased by the late A. T. Stewart in 1861, and the present mansion, which is said to have cost one million dollars, was erected several years later.

Birmingham's Exposition.

The Birmingham delegation to the South ern Industrial Convention which meets in New Orleans early in December should lay before that body the proposed plan of hold ing a great Industrial Exposition in this city.
 Such an exposition concerns not only Birmingham and Aabamd, but the entire South, and the discussion of the subject would give 1t publicity and facilitate the work of the promoters
 The delegates to that convention will be representative of the industrial and pro- gressive South and such proposition can not fail to meet with their hearty endorse ment.

for fun. And I personally know that the providing of a supernumerary judge has greatly expedited the administration of justice. There has long been just com- plaint of the laws delay That has been largely attributable to the fact that the various courts have been actually unable to keep up with their work. In other words, there is more litigation than there are courts. Hence the proposition to abolish the supernumerary indgeship Is untenable; it is not right; and the Legislature should very quickly dispose of all efforts in that direction"
 Said Robert Calhoun, the commercial traveller:
 There is every indication that there will be great run on mems shirtwaists next summer. I have sold nineteen dozen of these shirtwaists for men to each of two customers in Birmingham alone, and have placed numerous small orders in this city, all of which goes to show that the mer- chants of Birmingham and the district ex- pect to do a heavy business in the new garment for mems wear. Prices will vary greatly. My sales are of shirtwaists at SIP and upward the dozen, wholesale, that is to say the wholesale price of the cheap est goods have sold is SIP a dozen.
 Whether the fad as it is now called, shall come to be a permanent fashion, is merely conjectural, but I believe the shirt waist for men has come to stay The styles are being constantly improved, and the shirtwaist is being made a remarkably neat convenient. and comfortable garment. At any rate, it is now a good seller and I am pleased'
 Said A. E. Paxton, the Louisville tray eler for clothing:
 'We look for continuance of good busi- ness. Merchants are in the best of good spirits, and are disposed to buy lberally. And certainly if clothing manufacturers are ever to have a fine business they ought to have it within the next year, for general prosperity now rules the entire country Everybody is busy, everybody Is making money, and everybody must wear clothes. Therefore we are happy over our business prospects.
 Prices next spring and summer will not materially differ from those which pre- vailed this year. Cotton goods, or goods made in part of cotton, can't be lower, for cotton itself is very much higher than 1t was last year or last spring. As for wool ems, I don't see any reason for them 10 fall in price. So buyers of clothing next spring and summer will likely pay similar prices to those of last spring and summer

ECHO SONG.

By Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Who can say where Echo dwels? In some mountain cave, methinks, Where the white owl sits and blinks Or in deep sequestered dells, Where the foX-glove hangs its bells,
 Echo dwells,
 Echo!
 Echo Phantom of the crystal air, Daughter of sweet mystery Here is one has need of thee: Lead him to thy secret lair, Myrtle brings he for thy hair.
 Hear his prayer,
 Echo.
 Echo Echo, lift thy drowsy head, And repeat each charmed word Thou must needs have overheard Yestere'en ere, rosy red, Daphne down the valley fled,
 Words unsaid,
 Echo!
 Echo! Breathe the vows she since denies. She hath broken every VOW; What she would she would not now; Thou didst hear her perjuries, Whisper, whilst I shut my eyes,
 Those sweet lies.
 Echo!

ASKS WHAT WE SEEK
Says American Goods Are Now Going Through in Bond by Steamer and Also on Soows on tho Latter Put ting Up a Cash Deposit.

Chief inspector of Canadian Customs Gluts returned from Dawson and AtIin on the afternoon train, and he reports the amount of Canadian customs collected, speaking off-hand, at about $4oo,ooo.
 Speaking of the efforts of Skagway to rescind the bonding privelege he said ''l don't see where you are going to get the advantage. Your American goods are bsiag bonded right through regularly. Those bonded on steamer are transferred at Dawson and there is nothing to pay.
 But large part is going down in scows from BsnRett to American territory beyond Dawson. Of course we cannot make each s6oW bonded carrier, but we do this; we accept cash payment of the amount of duties involved, and returned this cash de- positsd on the order of the American cus- toms official at Eagle. Circle or any other American port on the Yukon, and we re- fund at Dawson the amount put up for duties bv the American shipper. There is no expense whatever attached to it.
 All this is very simple and everything Is working very tremendously and l don't SC what Skagwav has to kick about. As your ereasurv man said here, in effect, Skagwav is very small item In the bond inE privilege, which is general between che two nations, and in that same regard so Is the Kiondlke trade as regards the trade of the Dominion. l don't see where veu have anything particular to kick about"
