P. Regel, pastor of the Roman Catholic
Church of the Present alton at Chelt enham,
Montgomery county, Pa.
The dead body of the priest was found
in the hallway of a house in Philadelphia

was that he was the victim of knockout
drops. administered by some men with
whom he had been drinking.
The police of Baltimore were request ed
by the Philadelphia authorities to look
out for a young man named Harry Leach,
who was supposed to have been one of the
men seen in Father ReigeIs company
shortly before his death and who is said
to belong in Baltimore.
1t is said that Leach admitted having
been in Philadelphia at the time Father
Reigels body was found. but denied any

mission to State Convention.
A dispatch from Montgomery, Ala last
night says: The constitutional convention
opened this morning with a resolution in
viting Cen Joseph Wheeler, who is In town,
to seat on the floor. R. J. Lowe. chair
man of the democratic state committee,
made strong fight against it, opposing the
extending of such courtesies to any visitor.
Efforts were made to rule the issue out on
points of order, but Lowe was able 10 force
a test vote. and thirty-two delegates voted
against the invitation. Lowe gave notice
that he would renew the fight tomorrow on
a motion to reconsider.
The gossip of the situation IS that many
democrats are not feeling kindly toward the
general on account Of his nearness to the
republican administration. Thers is a gen
erai belief. too, that he is watching his op-
portunity to re-enter Alabama politics.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, May "a. 1901.
BY an overwhelming majority Mayor
George L. Simpson reelected to the
office of CHIEF executive of this city in the
municipal election held here yesterday.
His opponent was Joseph S. Beach, an in
dependent candidate. The total vote was:
Simpson, 1.7J1: Beach. SIG; Simpsons ma
jority. 935. Mayor Simpson was the regu-
lar nominee of the democratic party The
majority he received was perhaps the
greatest ever given a candidate for the
office of mayor in the history of AleXan-
dria. certainly the greatest in recent years.
This is the third consecutive time Mr..
Simpson has been elected mayor On the
two occasions preceding he was opposed
within the party but both times he won
out in the democratic primaries by hand
some majorities. In this campaign one
was found in the party willing to try con-
CluSlonS with the mayor at the primary
election Following that, however. Mr..
Beach announced himself an independ-
ent. Mayor Simpson made no special

few voters in this city seemed to know the
Independent candidate, and the vote he re-
CeiVed here is said to have come largely
from the COlored pOpula tion. The election
all around resulted in a clean sweep for
the democratic ticket. The closest contest
occurred in the fourth ward. where Coufl-

for reelection. He fell fifty votes under

POLITICS AND THE UNIVERSITIES.

Whether It be the fault of the universities the

grettabe that the university have little part in
political life In England it IS different In the present
house OF commons like Sir Michael Foster Sir
Richard Jebb, Mr.. John Morley Mr.. w. e. II. Lecky
Mr. James Bryce In America, If in this respect
we were as advanced we would have in congress men
like Or. Ira Remsen, Dr. w. w Goodwin, or the late
Mr. John Fske.
The fault may lie in the people of the United States
who have been yet educated up to the proper APP
probation of the political value of university
again. it may lie in the universities of America them
selves which, failing to keep in touch with practical
affairs tend to overdevelopment in elds OF specialsm

But wherever the fault lies. it should be remeded.
1t is not enough to occasionally appoint dstin-

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

The treasury department at Washington has recent
ly issued some reports the trade Of the United
States with Mexico and South America, which
especially commended to the attention OF the repub
OF this country who have engaged us in to
acquire the Philippines. savage islands 5000 miles
away
Here are some OF the figures. To Mexico the United
States supplies 40 per of the total imports for
sumption to the Central American States 35 per cent
to Colombia 80 per cent Venezuela 27 per cent; to
the West Indies 90 per cent; to the Guianas--25 per
cent to British Guiana. II cent to Dutch Guiana
and per cent to French Guiana.
The trade to the countries south of us is fall
ing off. In 1868 sales them 20 per cent Of
total exports 1878 little less than 10 per cent
in 1901 per cent
From the point of view of the balance Of trade our
commerce with these southern countries is still more
unsatisfactory In 1902 we purchased from the South
American countries goods valued at $40 1923, 667 while
their purchases from us were but $44,770SSS

The attention of the republicans of this country is
earnestly called to this condition of affairs The atten

direction. Here are we waging an expensive and long
drawn out war to acquire the Philippine islands, in
habted largely by savages without for the mer
chandise of civilization and without money to satisfy
these wants, If they had them, and meanwhile
fair rich markets of the South American countries are
neglected, and the Europeans who have the trade
which, by geographical location, belongs to us,
laughing at us they grow rich.
