work on the Midland, which road,
Mr.. Wilkerson stated to the Signal

Saturday, December 22, 1900,

The United States Senate has voted
to abrogate the Clayton and Bulwer
treaty in ratifying the Hay-Pauncefote
canal treaty. I is to be hoped now that
all the really preventive obstacles to the
building Of the isthmean water way from
the Atlantic to the Pacific have been
removed, and that the short cut to the
orient, for which Arctic explorers looked
so long in vain, will be speedily provided.
The advantages which the finished canal
will provide are too obvious to need
statement, and just now when the whole
country is clamoring for the revival OF
American merchant marine, and as ap-
proving the building Of mighty war ships
for tlie national defense, the isthmear
passage as a promoter of merchant
marine, of merchant marine command
< ed by American sailors, there is thu
promise of the maintenance of th'
powers and glory of the American navy
Aside from this we hope that one of tn
ghosts that have troubled local polite
has been successfully disposed of-th
glory Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty ha
departed.

CONG APpORTION-
MENT

One Of the questions growing out of the
new census is, as Il matter of course,
new apportionment Of Congressional rep
resentation, and connected with this
question was, and must be whether it is
considered OF not Also the question of
equitably adjusting Congressional rep
resentaton, as required by law, upon
the basis of votes cast. The South has
disfranchised the negro, i'll contraven-
tion Of the Constitution Of the United
States, and yet it is claiming Congress
sonal representation for people whom
it will not allow TO vote. This is an in
Justice to the Northern States, and one
that ought to be rectiiied. The indica-
lions are, however, that this will not be
done. In referring to the action of the
House Committee on the new census, the
Philadelphia Record says:
"rhe House Census Committee has de-
cided by large majority to report in
favor OF the Hopkins bill, whose only
merit appears to be that it keeps The
House at its present membership, 357
Several important States suffer by thai
apportionment if not in loss of mem
pers, comparatively by the increased
membership from other States. Penn
| ,ylyania and Massachusetts suffer in thi
way, while Ohio, Indiana and othe
States lose one or more members. Tha
hese States will resist the Hopkin
bill seems evident, for the new appol
.onment affects representation in tn
electoral College as well as in Congress
The Hopkins bill is distinctly unfayoi
lille to the Northern States, which sho'
5he greatest growth of population, an
favorable to the Southern States, whic
lisfrancLise the negro"
We wonder how long the expedienc
politicians Of this country are to be a
lowed to throw 'sap" to the solid South
aow long is it to be necessary for tt
whole nation to wink at wilful viol
: ions of the Constitution and statute law
: II this matter of negro suffrage? Ho
long is this expedient Of politics to |
allowed to extenuate the wrongs growir
: out of dominant injustice in COVER
y ment.
The end of such things comes, and wi
e it generally comes disaster.
