FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. 6. 1901

THE EFFORTS OF the republican mem
hsrs of the House to reduce the repre-
sanitation OF southern States where sne
negro hiss been disfrauchised lie taking
definite form. Representative Crum'
packer, Of Indiana, who, as stated yes
terday, has been foremost In the move
mept. has been circulating petition
among republican members asking Tor
q caucus on the subject. The object oil
the contemplated caucus is to make q
party policy Of this question, aud TO
decide on one definite method OF pro-
cedure in Congress. The republicans
are evidently agitsted somewhat as 10
the political complexion OF the House
that Is to be chosen next fall. Being
an off.year, they are apprehensive as 70
the result. Hence their activity In the
scheme to cut down the number OF
democratic congressman in the South,
In order that the republicans may have
an increased maj that would take
the place of republican members In
danger of defeat. Should the attempt
be made to reduce the representation
of the House the bltterest fight known
In Congress since the Force bill will Dc
preCipitAted. Southern members Will
not and should not hesitate to resort
to any means to prevent such action
and while the republican majority
would have no difficulty In forcing such
legislation through the House 1t would
probably die 10 the Senate though IL
seems that the republican Senators
wink favorably for the most part on
this action OF the House republicans.

MAYOR FLANDERS, of Burlington,
N. j., yesterday at noon ordered all
the hotels and saloons In that city clos
ed 10 compliance with the demand OF
the Law and Order League. This is
the outcome of decision OK the Ne"
Jersey Supreme Court that the Law ur-
der which the Burlington excise board
was created was unconstitutional. ow-
ing to flaw 10 the title. The Law and
Order League, taking advantage OF
this. psremptorily demanded that
Mayor Flanders close every hotel In
Burlington. The hotel men held q
meeting and decided to resist. They
said that it was through no fault OF
theirs that the law was detective, and
since they had paid for protection they
we're entitled to it. Five thousand dol
lars was quickly subscribed, counsel
was engaged and last night every place
was as wide open as 1t ever was. The
victory of the Law and Order League
was short.lived and common sense
should have deferred them from max
log such demand on the Mayor and
he In turn should have exercised enough
discretion to refuse to Issue the order.

THE constitutional convention yes
terday rejected the proposition to elect
judges Of the supreme court by popular
vote. This will be approved by most
well-thinking men. The argument that
judges were elected by popular vote
fifty years ago will not hold good now,
as since then the whole method of
elections has changed, and money and
effrontery are now potential. A man
who would descend to the low plane
OF political demsgogy and solicit votes
among the vicious who in all probsbil.
ity he would have to sic In justice
against, would not be proper man TO
preside over a court OF justice.
