Some one writes from this state to
the Louisville Courier-Journal, telling
it that the negroes appear to be in
different about the pending constitu-
tional amendment, by the adoption of
which thousands Of them will be dis
franchised. They believe that its rati-
fication Is a foregone conclusion. For
h first time since they Were per-
mitted to vote, they were left out of
the republican conventions, county
district, and state this year. The
white republicans choked them off for
political effect. 1t is now stated that
they will be kept from registering as
far as possible" Tricks. Tricks,
my countrymen." Do not be bam-
boozled. Put not your faith in plot

until election day ends and be not
lethargic for a day under the idea that
all is well, the state is safe, and ne
groes will not vote. Russell said once
tina his party could call up its gang
in forty-eight hours. A secret order
sent out could rally the negroes to
register and vote to a man. So thor
ough organization is a duty and a ne
cessity.

SESSIONS TO BE PUBLIC.
THE CUBAN CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvEN-
TION ADOPTS MORE RULES.

Havana, Nov. 22.-There was large attend
ance at to-day's session Of the Cuban Consti-
tutional Convention in the Marti Theatre An
animated discussion took place over the question
of whether the sessions to be public pri
vate. The delegates Of the National party. who
were supposed to have been pledged to support
private sessions. swung over to the other side
only one, Senor Quesada, voting in favor of pri-
Vate sessions. The final vote stood 10 for public
sessions and 10 for private sessions,
Sehor Tamayo who is a candidate for the
Presidency. made a passionate appeal to the
public in the galleries to sustain him in his argu-
nlent for public sessions, and called to order
oy the president of the convention, who ruled
that delegate had no right to address the audi
ence Considerable disorder prevailed for few
moments. and eventually Sehor Tamayo apollo
g1zed to the convention.
Thlrty-eight additional articles of the Yaya
rules were adopted the rules of the conven-
uon including providing that two-thirds OF
the delegates shall constitute a quorum, and an
other directing that if for two consecutive meet
1ngs no quorum IS present, the absent delegates
shall be instructed to attend
There was long discussion over Article "a
winch provides hat after organization eight
days shall be allowed to the delegates in which
to bring in projects for the basis of constitu-
ton or complete drafts
Senor Llorento urged that the convention
should appoint special committee to draw up
constitution. He said he did not believe that
all the delegates were capable of doing work of
that character In lis opinion the convention
did not want constitutions like those of the
South American republics or of republics in any
other part of the world but something distinctly
Cuban
senor Capote argued that the Yaya rules pro-
vided for the appointment of a committee to
consider all schemes presented and to report
draft Of constitution for discussion. General
Sanguly said:
The relations to exist between the United
States and Cuba. although definition of them
will not be included in the constitution, will be
OF equal Importance; and do not believe that
constitution should be drawn without consider
ing these. Every delegate should present his
views regarding these relations

CRISIS AT HAND IN CHINA.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE POWELs CANNOT
REACH AN AGREEMENT.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The State Department
so far has heard nothing from Mr. Conger re-
specting the impasse reported to have been
reached by the foreign Ministers yesterday at
Peking IN fact, save a brief expression respect
ing the insuficiency of the punishments pro-
posed by the Chinese Government 10 be in
ficted upon the responsible leaders of the Boxer
movement, Mr.. Conger has not communicated
with the Department for more than a week
Without taking issue with Mr.. Conger respect
ing this question of punishments. the State De
partment has earnestly advised him not to in
slst upon impossible conditions in the nego-
tiations.
An interesting problem is suggested by the
possibility. which to-day is almost a probability
that the Ministers representing the Powers at
Peking cannot reach agreement. II Russia
France and the United States should refuse 10
accept the German idea, seconded by the
British representative. much would depend upon
Japan, and some Of the lesser Powers rep
resented at Picking by Ministers might have IN
fuence in swaying the proceedings OF the couh-
Gil. The impression seems TO be that II a ma
jority OF the Ministers, or perhaps even one u
the representatives of great Power. Wltnholus
assent to the agreement, then the whole unuei-
taking falls, and there must be either fresh me-
gotiations directly between the home govern

IT is gratifying to note the i'm
provements being made in the oil
industry in the Florence fields.
Not long since Mr.. Griffith expert
mented with the use of gas pow
or plant from which several wells
can be operated by one man. The
plant proved success, and now
the United Oil company has in
stalled similar plant from which
the power is transmitted for pump
ing three wells. From this one
plant, which derives its power from
a gas engine, forty wells can be
pumped. 1t is a great labor and
fuel saving device, and will un-
doubtely come into universal use.
1t will undoubtedly create new
impetus in oil operations in this
place.

COMMERCE AND IRRIGATION.

There is no more important ques-
tion before the beople of the West
today than that of irrigation, for the
use of water for this purpose would
convert thousands of acres of arid
land into the most fertile fields of
Uncle Sans domain. Mr.. Elwood
Mead, expert in charge of the irri-
CATION investigation of the United
States department of agriculture,
has written an article on "The
Rise and Future of Irrigation" )"
from which the following is an ex-
tract:
The commercial Importance of
the development of irrigation re-
sources is being realized in the
West at the present time as never
before. Especially in California
there is new awakening, and an
effort on the part of the best ele-
ments Of citizenship to remove the
obstacles which have formerly ham
pered both public and private en-
teprise.
The East, as whole, is begin
ming to realize the great part which
the West is to have in. the events
of the twentieth century World
wide forces are working to hasten
the day of its complete develop
ment and the utilization of all it's
rich resources. The Orient is
awake and offering its markets
to the trade of the Pacific coast.
With the development of this
trade there will come an impulse
for the completion of the material
conquest of Arid America, by the
enlistment of public as wall as pri-
vate means in the division of its
streams for the irrigation of it's
hundred million acres of irrigable
soil; the harnessing of its water
powers to mill and factory wheels I;
the crowding of its pastures with
new millions of live stock; the
opening up of its mines and quar-
ries; the conversion of forests into
human habitations; the coming
OF vast population, and the
growth of institutions worthy of
the time and place.
