An odd custom prevails at funerals
In some parts Of Wales, 4 poor per-
son Is hled-"N long, lean, ugly Ia
mentable rascal"-to perform the du'
ties Of sin eater. Bread and beer are
passed to the man over the corpse, or
laid on It. these he consumes, and by
THE process h. Is supposed to take on
him all the SnA OF the deceased, and
free the person from walking after
death. When sin cater Is not employ.
ed glasses Of wine and funeral bis
cults are given to each bearer across
the coffin. The people believe that
every drop of wine drunk at funeral
Ia sin committed by the deceased,
but that by drinking the wine the
soul of the dead Is released from the
burden Of the sin.

REPREsENTING THE SOUTH.
Prospects OF Another Force NH by
Way of Furnishing the
Democrats.

The radical wing Of the republican
party Is evidently anxious 10 revive
the bloody shirt, The Washington dis
patches hint of another force bill,
modelled after the one which passed
the house but was beaten In the sem
ate ten years ago; of reduction In the
congressional and electoral representa-
tlon Of the south; Of an attempt TO
unseat Senator Blackburn, OF Ken
lucky, and TO throw out kentucky's
electoral vote; and Of wholesale un-
seating of southern democratic repre-
Bentntlyes In the next congrefs-nll OF
which seems TO be detached parts Of n
more or less cNreGully-nrrnnged plan
to punish the south and make II suffer
for the crime Of remaining democratic,
For the democracy Of the south, aud
NOT her denial Of the suffrage TO the
negro, will be the real reason for
whatever war may be levied against
her by the republicans in congress,
The republican pOrty long since ceased
TO care what becomes Of the negro, IT
II ever cared for him except for his
vote, The south could to-day purchase
immunity and carte blanche to dis
franchise every negro, II in return
Mark Hanna and his agents could be
sure that republican congressman and
electors would be forthcoming.
How Is the south TO he punished for
the crime Of being democratic? liy an
other force bill? II Is rather late in
Che day for ideas which smack Of the
reconstruction period, and recall the
terrible wrongs inflicted upon the
south by the republicans during that
era. BY reduction OF southern rep
resentation, so MS to base the represen-
tNton not on the population, but on
the vote? How would such a plan af-
feet old abolltlonist Massachusetts,,
which enrorces an educational test7
Take North Carolina, for instance. No
one doubts that II Is constitutional to
enforce an educational tests the dis
puted point Is regOrd to the "grondfa-
ther clause" which Is intended TO pro-
tect iliterute whites in the right to
vote, while the llliterate negroes are
excluded The supreme court has not
yet passed upon the consttutionollty
OF this provision Should II be declared
unconstitutional that would dispose
OF the race discrimination; all Hitter
ates would be treated alike. But should
Il be declared constitutional, what
then? Would congress actually reduce
North CNrollno's representation as n
punishment for exercising a constitu-
tional right?
The south is dealing with the race
question as intelligently and we'll
probably, as any community in the
world could do, Upon the south has
fallen the burden imposed by the
wholesale enfranchisemen Of race
Just out Of slavery, With the general
support Of popular sentiment in the
north, the negro has been eliminated
as an element Of control In the adj
ministrotion Of public office in the
south. The elimination Of the negro
may he made the pretcXt, but should
the south suffer II will be not for that
but for her democracy. Albany Argus

TARIFFS AND ROYALTIES.
An Incident Tint IS strongly sisnlfi'
cant of Obnoxious Trust
Methods,

There Is nothing strange In the fact
that the armor plate trust, confronted
with the senate threat Of the establish
ment of government plant for the
manufacture Of Ormor plate, suddenly
discovered that 1t could accept con-
tracts at much lower figure than that
for which It originally contendcd, and
so ayerted serious danger Of loss Of
business,
The incident is extremely significant
of trust methods. The argument of the
armor plate trust to the effect that it
could not sell It's product for less than
$545 n ton because Of royalty of SIS
per ton that had TO be paid was Of n
kind with that other trust argument
that high protective tariff is neces.
sary to prevent European competition
which would destroy the infant in
dustres" now known us trusts. Ad'
miral 0'Neill proved that there was no
patent on the Krupp process, that roy
alties did not, therefore, figure in the
cost-and the armor plate trust
promptly closed the contract at re.
duced rates. Just so, conressing the
falsity of their claims for protection,
are the tariff trusts now undertaking
European competitors in European
markets, and, equally, by the removal
of the protective tariff, should they he
compelled TO lower their prices to the
American consumer
The trust idea, however, under the
fostering care Of McKinlcyism, is to
bleed the American government and
people to the full limit rs long as pos.
sible. A senate committee, ably as
sisted by Admiral O'Neill, has managed
to outwit the armor plate trust, but this
was almost accidental, The combines
count confidently on the continued sue
cess of their game Of robbing the Amer.
lean government and consuming pub.

lavishly for the purpose Of reelccting
