Must Lose Representation.

In the various estimates put forth as
| to the distribution of seats in congress,
on the apportionment to be made as a
result of the census, there is tenden-
cy to ignore the actual change in the
basis Of apportionment made by the
fourteenth amendment to the consti-
| tuition and yet this is matter which
congress must consider The consti-
tutlon originally provided for the dis
tributiOn of seats on the basis of pCpu-
lation. When the fourteenth amend
provided for the cutting down of the
representation of such states as denied
the right of suffrage to any class of
male citizens, that amendment, in ef-
feet, changed the whole basis OF appor-
tionment. That basis Is now, substan
TALLY, the number of American citi-
zens who are qualified electors under
state law.
When the census of 1890 was taken,
no state, in theory denied to any of its
citizens the right of suffrage, or at
least the number who were denied
that right by any law, in any state, So
small AS not to affect the standard OF
appOrtIonmeut in any marked degree.
The situation has radically changed.
In the states Of the South collectively
there are probably not less than 200
600 male citizens of full age who are
expressly excluded from exercising the
franchise by state laws and state con-
stitutions. These state laws come
squarely within the constitutions
provision, which was maniiestly in
tended to cover cases of this kind and
was adopted for no other purpose.
The duty which devolves upon con-
gress is plain is mandatory, and there
is no possibl' escape from it, Every
Southern state which has by law de-
MED the right of suffrage to any por-
ton of its negro population must have
its representation in congress cut down
in precise proportion to the number ol
excluded voters louisiana, Mississi.
| ppi and North and South Carolins
are the offenders against this constitu
tional provision. A literal enforce
i ment OF the constitutional provision
in accordance with its purpose and
meaning, will operate to deprive each
of these states of two sea is in congress
which would otherwise fall TO them
It will also deprive these states of two
voices each in the future electoral col
leges.
This meaning OF the federal constitu
ton was known when these states pas
sed the laws to deprive the negroes o
the franchise. Ii is to oe presumed
that the people OF these states accepted
the penalty as part of the price of rid
ding themselves of the negro votes. /
seems incredible that they will serious
ly attempt to dispute the right of con
gress to deprive them of representa-
ion. Whether they do object or no
makes no difference. 1t is not a mat
ter in which congress can exercise an,
discretion. The duty imposed by the
constitution cannot be evaded. What
ever apportionment bill is passed mus
recognize this constitutional provision
and the solid South will be weakene'
to that extent by the deliberate choic'
of its own people.-P. |.

FRINK was defeated because the or
ganized power of the liquor men was
on the side Of Rogers. It isn't neces-
sary to blame Ankeny orsHumes, or
McGraw or Wilson, or to declare that
Rogers was reelected becatlse he has
made a good governor. He has not
made good governor, and neither the
Ankeny people nor the anti-Wilson
forces of any other description, nor
both combined, scratched enough to
beat Mr.. Frink. The slump to Rogers
was not confined tor any particular
locality. 1t was no greater in Walla
Walla than in Yakima, and yet
Everybody knows that III this county
there are not a dozen republicans who
scratched Frink on account Of. their
concern in the Wilson and anti Wilson
quarrel. The simple fact is that the
wholesale liquor dealers organized the
saloon men against Frink. They
boast of their work now. The republi-
can managers knew what they were
doing from the beginning Of the CAM
paign, but did not believe they could
control votes enough to accomplish
the purpose.-Y Yakima Republic.

HUFKINs' DOCTOR BOOK.
Every Reading Of 1t brings on q
New Ailment and Drug
gist's Bills.

Mr.. Hufkins, of Indiana avenue, came
home one night lately with big book
under his arm.
There, 1 reckon there'll be an end of
doctors bills in this family after this
he said. "When the Hufkinses get sick
after this We'll do the. only sensible
think-diagnose the disease ourselves,
take some simple remedy, save $500 a
year in useless doctors bills"
After dinner Mr. Hufkins spent two
hours in reading about rheumatism,
gout, consumption, whooping cough
and insanity. The next morning he got
up with crick in his back.
LOUIS" he said, briskly to his oldest
boy, "go over to the drugstore and get
me half a pound of citrate. of salsoda.
and II four-grain tablets of pheani-
gamia."
!. Louis came back in half an hour with
a bottle of citrate of magnesia and a
dozen phenacetin pills, and said the
druggist thought they would fill the
bill.
That's what I said; that's what /
sent you for" remarked Mr.. Hufkins,
toftily, as he swallowed six of the tab
let's and took a teaspoonful of the mag
nesia. BY night Mr.. Hufkins said the
symptoms had changed, and he recog-
nized in himself victim of gout.
NO, thank you, Mary; no pie for me
this evening; no more sweet stuffs; no
more wine. no more cigars. This gout
is settling around my heart and even
with the strictest precautions may be a
dead man in "a hours"
He put on a fax seed poultice and sat
up in bed and read some more of his
doctor book.
-m-queer, queer" he unused,
after reading about three hours. 81
thought this was the most extraordi-
nary case of gout I ever heard of. By
lingo, see now; it's lung trouble in the
fifth stage"
lie walked the servant girl up and sent
her post haste for bottle of codliver
Oil. When the girl came back she
walked on tiptoe, ran into a looking
glass and forgot to wind the clock. Mr..
Hufkins informed her, as he gulped
down the codliver oil, thatshe had pare
SIS in an advanced stage, and that he
would prescribe some simple remedy in
the morning. In two days Mr.. Hufkins
was not able to go down to his Office.
On the third day, sitting in an easy
chair, he perused the doctor book from
ten o'clock in the morning until II
o'clock at night. Before the week was
over both the Hufkins children had
stopped going to school to take treat
ment for whooping cough, scarletfever,
measles and mumps.
Mrs. Hufkins is living in hope that
the list of diseases in the doctor book
will soon be exhausted.-C Chicago Inter
