The Southern Republiean..

In an interview which appeared in The
Star yesterday, Vice Chairman Payne of
the republican national committee points
out phase Of the southern suffrage situa-
tion which. he thinks. demands action by
that committee on its own account. This
is that the southern republicans are per-
mitted to exercise a power in republican
national conventions wholly out Of proper
ton to their numbers and influence at
home. They have no votes to give a repub-
lican national ticket in the electoral col
lege, and yet are in position by the present
apportionment Of delegates, to go into a
national convention and in q close contest
name the party's national candidates
Why. asks Mr.. Payne, citing one case as
an Illustration, should Mississippi, with
five thousand republican votes. have the
same voice in making the national nomina
tions as Minnesota with one hundred and
fifty thousand votes? And echo answers
WHY?
This is not a new topic with Mr.. Payne.
He has argued the same case before, and
with the same unanswerable logic. Here
tofore he has received but one reply, and
doubtless he will receive that again. The
southern republicans are loath to part with
their power. although. as they very well
justice. And so whenever this question is
presented they insist that any change in
the apportionment impairing their strength
IN national conventions would discourage
the growth Of the party in the south! That
of course is no reply at all. The question
is simply evaded. AS matters now stand
there is no more chance of the growth of
the republican party In any Of the lower
southern states than of a snowfall in Tuly
That white mans party which Is to rise in
the south superior to all old sentiments
and prejudices and control the local situa-
ton in the interests Of sound and practical
national policies Is due to arrive. as the
situation is now to be gauged, with the
millennium.
The whole affair Of the south and the
suffrage is interesting. from whatever
point of view 1t may be taken. Wholesale
acknowledgements have left the republicans
with but a corporal's guard Of voters down
there. And yet neither the republicans nor
the democrats will consent to the logic Of the
situation; neither are willing to stand upon
the facts. The republicans In national con-
ventions insist upon voting g strength
which they do not possess, and the demo-
Gratis in Congress and in the electoral COL
lege do the same thing. Both Mr.. Payne
and Mr.. Moody are on the right track, and
everybody should wish them success. But
each has hard road to travel.

Alice In Wonderland.

"Allce Davis, you are accused of ag- gravatcd assault and battery on Livinia smith," said Judge Feagin. Did she get hurt?"
 "Yessir; she fell on de floor and hurt her head. We were playing with a horse an she got frightened an run in de house an struck de door post an hit her head"
 A witness then took the stand.
 "Do you know defendnnt2"
 "No, sir; I can't say as we'se acquaint- cd"
 "I mean" said the judge, do you re- cognize her?"
 "Yes, sir, recognizes her"
 Well, tell what you know about thc row."
 That woman, judge, said my grand daughter was rocking her horse."
 Whose horse? Her own rocking horse2'
 ''No sir; Aliees horse, and Alice said: Take in your head, you rubber neck turtle, or I'll kill you She had her apron full of rocks, and just let loose at the house and rocked 1t for an hour until the house itself began to rock"
 klnO or rOck or ages, suppose, said the judge.
 NO, sir, it was more of a rock-a-by baby, for the child said by-by and lit out away from the rocks One Of them hit her, however, after she got in the house, and it knocked her down and knocked a chair into the tire.'
 Livonia, the little girl who was hit, said she didn't know what hit her thought 1t was a brick.
 Dr. Drennen then told about the girls wound. He said she would be disfgured for life and had the rock hit her any where else she would have been killed.
 Another witness said that Alice raised such a row throwing rocks at her house that the motormen stopped the electric cars and came in to see what was the matter. That Alice said she would kill her mother if she dared put her head out of doors.
 Another witness swore that she was a neighbor and owned the horse and that the little girl was trying to kill it by rocking 1t to death, just as she did any ming else of hers. That she told Alice, who was her servant. to go and get the horse, but that the little girl and her folks rocked Alice as well as the horse. '"rhem people, judge," she said, "done me scandalous. I told Alice to come into the hog lot out of the horse lot and so get away from that job lot. Alice said

 What do you know about these boys stealing hogs?" asked the judge or tne first witness. There was no answer Do these boys raise their own or other peoples hogs?" asked the judge.
 "Sah?" said the witness.
 "Did you lose a hog?" continued the judge.
 "Oh yes, saf1p said the witness. us hogs was one short yesterday when counted them"
 Well, give us the long as well as the short of it." said the judge. What sort of hog was short?'
 Tt war a white hog" said the witness.
 'No, sah, 1t warn't razor back and didn't have no ear marks"
 Judge said an officer, some days ago I searched defendants house ana found part of the hog which had not been eaten"
 Another witness said he lived near de- fendant and had found the haslet Of white hog with rough on rate on 1t in his front yard. George Haden, a colored butcher, said that one of the defendants tried to sell him half interest in hog. He agreed to buy it, thinking the hog was alive, but found out it was dressed-that is, the whole hog was there except its head. He was man who wanted the whole hog or none. so he refused to buy it. The other defendant, he said; was his driver He bought the hog and peddled 1t around. He told me he was going to do crooked work, that it paved better than straight work, and he would buy me out He said his crooked work was out of. sight.
 'sOut of sight of the police, I suppose" said the judge.
 "Yessir. He said he walked around and when he saw hog he shot him and went back after night and got him. He and Willie went into partnership. He was to furnish de meat and Willie de bread"
 ''Who was to furnish the water?" asked the judge. "The city.'
 Willie Woods took the stand and said he believed he was accused of stealing hog, but on second thought he hadn't stole any.
 Andrew Herbert said he worked for Q living by the week down by the factory, and didn't have time to hog hog.
 'I think you are both guilty said the judge. This is hog time, you know, and you both seem to be up to date col ored gentlemen and I think you should be willing to pay $2O each for being in the fashion,"

 No, sah," answered Willie, We de- nies de premises; We warn't dere."

MAD BULL DOG
Dashed Into School Room and Gre
 ated a General Panic.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-A brindle bull dog, foaming at the mouth and yelping in the madness of hydrophobia, dashed into a crowded recitation room of the Kozminski school at Fifty-fourth street and Ingleside avenue today, and be- fore it was driven out by a policeman who had been called by the teachers, had severely bitten four of the chill dren and created a panic in which a number of others were badly bruised. The dog first attacked a little girl, biting her in the leg. Amid the great rush for safety three boys attacked the brute with a blackboard pointer and were in turn bitten. A policeman then appeared and fired four shots at the maddened dog without effect further than to drive it from the building. The dog, wounded, but not crippled, was chased for nearly mile through the streets before it finally escaped.

 A colored lady named Lucindy took the stand and admitted she would tell the truth, but would admit nothing else "I ran ter de door, jedge, when heard dc noise I didn't have on no close, but l could hear plain. l heard Alice yell to dem people to open de door an she would kill de last one ob dem.
