Captain Franklin's Work
The hustling Americans with Major
Gallagher on one end of the river and
Captain Franklin on the other have put
a junk through from Tien-Tsin to
Tung Chow in three days. but the av-
lerage is nearer six, and some of the
hulks have been twelve and fifteen
days getting up. The Japanese do
nearly as we'll and so do the Russians.
but the British have been slower. In

fighting an army at Los Angeles and
feeding it from Bangor. Sails are
practically useless and the sole power
| of locomotion comes from towing
coolies and pole men. The tow lines
run from the topmast to the tow path
100 yards ahead and as a rule seven
coolies do the towing. They swing
along in step at the hardest work sons
of toll ever did. Parched by blazing
sun or drenched in tropfc rain, it is
ever the same. Canals or marshes cut
across the tow path and they plunge

| and they fairly tumbled over each 9TH
er in their zeal to take advantage of
the reciprocity features of the McKin-
| ley law. In their negotiations to this
end they displayed, as rule. a gen.
erous spirit. The concessions they
could obtain from the United States
| were defined in the tariff act and were
the same to all. They gave whatever
was asked. usually without haggling
or hesitacy. Sa fast as other affairs of
state permitted agreements were ar
engagements were arranged by exchange
of notes and went into effect on proc

and both contracting parties to the re-

| Unfortunately the Wilson Tariff
| Act repudiated and repealed these ar
rangementS without the slightest no
tice TO the interested governments, and
in consequence. the United States stood
discredited in the eyes of the contrac-

of the Dingley Tariff Act, which
aroused a feeling of evaporation and
resentment throughout the CONNER
cial world because of it's high protec-
! tive duties-in many Instances made
especially high. in order to permit of
reciprocal concessions under section 4
and sti1l leave ample protection. The
| result was that when Mr.. Kasson I'M
dertook his labors in October, 1897. he
found hostile tariffs and unjust dis
ordinations confronting him in new
quarters. and everywhere a noticeable
| indisposition to negotiate.
The situation in Europe was even

great nation had a maximum and a
minimum tariff applying the former to
the United States. while all the prin-
cipal countries of Europe enjoyed the
latter by virtue of special treaties.
Another equally important nation. I'M
der the guise of sanitary measures had
imposed prohibitive regulations on GER

other countries serious embarrassments
of one kind and another to American
commerce existed. and the complaints
of our exports were loud and numer-

D,sepANCHIseMENT AND REORE-
SENTA1ION A PROGRAM

President Mckinley is said to be
opposed to opening up the question of
the south's representation in con-
gress His tact is consummate. and
it is likely that congress will respect
his wish in the matter. although it is
not bound to do so. In fact, If con-
gress shall strictly construe its duty
under the constitution, it cannot do
anything else than count out the dis
franchised negroes in making the new
apportionment of representatives I'M
der the late census.
There may be doubt about the wis
dom of attempting to reduce the
south's representation at this time. But
there is no doubt about the plain
meaning of the constitution The
fourteenth amendment is persistently
ignored al the present day to some
degree at least in every state of the
union. But il is in the south that the
amendment has been thrust most COM
pletely out of sight.
The Herald favors the disfranchise-
ment of the ignorant. corrupt, ire
sponsible voters, whether white or
brown or black. but it favors legal
methods for such Acknowledgement. to
be followed by acceptance of the just
consequences of such action. The
south is justified in trying to rid it
self of the incubus of the corrupt ne
gro vote. The southwest would be
justifiable in trying to rid itself of the
influence OF the corrupt Mexican vote.
The north and east have their prob
lens in the people of other nationali-
ties. that have come to this country
to make it their home. But nothing
will be gained by overriding the
law and the constitution. and trying
to make a right by doing wrong
The constitution contemplateS a
representation based on the number of
voters in any community. for it says

When the right to vote at any cleo

The real cause of the increased
price of meats is that the country
has now 100000 more meat eat
ers than it had ten years ago, while
the number of cattle has fallen off
100000 during that period. Ac-
cording to the figures of the Bureau
of Animal Industry we had 5,ooo,-
600 more hogs in 1890 than now
while the population has increased
from 62,5oo,ooo to nearly 10000
900. A similar falling off is re
ported in the number of sheep
Under these conditions there is nc
prospect that the prices of meat will
return to a lower level.
