Aimed ut the south In Effort TO
Perpctunte Repumicnnism.

Baltimore Sun,
1t is reported that the caucus Of republic
can members OF the house OF representa-
tives win indorse the bill of Mr.. crum
packer, of Indiana, which is intended to
prepare the way for the reduction of the
soushs representation in the congress-
The object Of the bill. according 70 Mr.
Crumpacker, is, by means OF The next
census, Ito furnish congress with informa-
ton showing the number Of male inhabi-
tants In the various states that have been
disfranchlsed by operation OF local laws
In order that q just and intelligent ap-
porti0ument OF repre- entatiyes may 10
had under the twelfth census The
fourteenth amendment to the const'tu-
ton" says Mr.. Crumpacker requires
the apportionment Of representa- ives 10
be based upon population, but In The event
that any State shall dsfranchise any O.
it's male Inhabitants over q years who are
citizens of the United States, excepting
for crime or participation IN rebellion, Tao
representation OF such state shall be re-
duced in the proportion that the disiran-
chised male inhabitants bear to the whole
number of male inhabitants over q years
OF age. That provision of the constitu-
tion Is imperative 1t is the policy OF the
Federal government toH~encourage uni
versal manhood suffrage, and 1t Is a no
torious fact that in number OF States a
large proportion of the voting population
Is disfranchsed 2
That MIR. Crumpaeker has no very
friendly feeling for the South may be
fairly inferred from another extra from
the statement from which the foregoing
is quoted The white people OF the
South" he says, have felt justified in
rezarting to subterfuges for the purpose
OF evsdlng the Federal laws IN order to
broteet themselves against the colore1
vote until there prevails in many local
tiles a general condition OF political dc
liberalization, The cheating OF election
laws has come to be looked upon as a
virtue. The respect for Jaw that is 50
conspicuous a characteristic OF The Ameri-
can people in most sections OF the country
has received great blow at the South.
! Can we expect anything but lynchngs
and mob rule In a community where the
most sacred laws are tranpled n he dust
by the governing class by slhte-fuge ami
evasion" Mr. Crumpacker believe that
/ " the representation OF those s a es which
have restricted The franchise should he
reduced as It ought 10 be, it would opera G
as a countervaling force and ten @
establish proper political equilibrium.
! The importance o. large representation
! In congress and in the electoral college Is
appreciated b. the white people OF the
sonth and ihsy would be prompted TO
estabilsh fair laws for the protec ion OF
their domestic institutions and u honestly

[<TN the midst Of the preparations
~ for the Fourth Of July celehra-
ton this year" said an eX-
member OF the Washington vol
unteers to a Post-Intelligencer
reporter yesterday. Il am re-
minded Of the manner In which We spent
last Fourth. A portion OF the regiment
including my company, had been garrt-
soned in the town OF Pasig for about
three months. with but little To break
the monotony Of trench and routine duty,
except occasionally when some outpost
would imagine they were attacked. and
let drive a few volleys into the night.
1T had come to he the 5rd day Of July
without anyone realizing that Indapen-
dence day was so near, and no prepare
lions made in the way Of a celebration.
This would never do for patriotic Amer
leans Something must be done. and
b company. perhaps because Il came
from Seattle. was the first to realize that
fact. After supper on the Bird some Of us
crossed the creek and cut a large flag
pole, others dug hole in which TO plant
IL and still others set to work making
blank cartridges with which to fire sa-
lutes. Nothing was said 10 the rest OF
the men in town. with the exception of

Twenty more volleys followed and the
hugler blew To the Colors." As | said.
no one outside the company had known
of the plan. and the way the garrison
rolled out Of bed wasn't slow.
THE non-Combatant Fnipinos, who
