AN ovERwoRKED PLEA.

The Chicago Tribune says that the i'm
preston is gaining ground among the Re
| publican leaders that the plea that is put
forth for DISTINGUISHING negroes in South
ern States, namely, fear of negro domi-
nation" is an overworked one.
That paper points out that while the
| disfranchisement of negroes was confined
to the states of Mississippi and South
Carolina, where the negroes are in the ma
jority, there was a disposition to accept
the plea and let it go at that, but that
1t is well understood that there is no fear
of negro domination in louisiana and
North Carolina, where the negro litter
ates have been DISTINGUISHED, nor in Vir-
ginia, Arkansas and Tennessee where 1t
is proposed to disfrachise them OF
course, that paper remarks, Congress
may not be able to dictate the kind OF
suffrage laws a state shall enact, but it
has the power to say what the basis of
representation shall be, and that the prob
ability is that those states which have
DISTINGUISHED negro illiterates while per-
hitting white illterates to have the bal
lot will have their representation in Con-
gress and the Electoral College reduced.
1t is safe to say that the Tribune is
wrong about this matter. There are no
doubt Republican leaders who would like
to cut down the representation of those
states Of the South which have taken the
ballot from illiterate negroes, but there
are no signs that the majority of them are
willing to take any such action. The sub
Ject was pretty well discussed last win
ter, and the impression given out at that
time was that the Republican party had
about come to the conclusion that It
would stand a better chance of gaining a
foothold in the South by letting the ne
groes paddle their own canoe" in poll
tics.
1t is evident that there win never be
any Republican party in the South worth
mentioning as long as the negroes con-
troll it. The negro with the ballot keeps
the South solidly Democratic, the leaders
of the Republican party who are practi-
cal argue, and as long as the South is
solid it is of no benefit to the Republi-
can party from the standpoint of practi-
cal politics. The probability therefore is
that while there will be a great deal of
talk about cutting down the representa-
ton of states which have DISTINGUISHED IL
iiterate negroes without having disfran-
chised illiterate whites there will be moth
ing done in that direction.
At least, before anything of a positive
character is done. chance will be given
to see what the result on the white
voters is of the acknowledgements of the
negroes. If it is found that the whites
are disposed to divide their vote where
there is no apprehension of negro domi-
nation, the disposition of the Republican
leaders will be to encourage other states
TO disfranchise the negroes rather than
to cut down the representation of any of
the states for taking the ballot from them.
The Republican party is an eminently
practical organization. 1t is not conduct
ed on sentiment, but to get and hold
power.

at was a dry season in China, writes
a Pekin correspondent of the Chicago
Times-Herald. The viceroy, Earl Ii Hung
was calling on the American minister, Mr..
Conger, and he spoke of the weather.
Yes said Mr.. Conger, 1T seems to be
dry everywhere. 1t is dry in my country,
too. I read in one of our newspapers the
other day that in many places in the West
the people were praying for rain What
said the earl, do your people pray to their
God for rain? oh, yes said the min
lister, they often pray for rain And
does their God send it when they pray
for I'll? Asked the earl. Yes, sometimes
their prayers are answered, and some
times they are not "All the same like
Chinese joss, hey?' said the earl, with a
grin and a chuckle."

The Postofiee Department Is considering
whether or not it can apply the fraud
order 10 a shrewd doctor who advertises
TO cure deafness without fail for $3.50. 1t
appears that when the stipulated amount
is sent to the doctor he returns to the
patient 1000 pills, with the injunction that
one must be taken each day. The direc-
tons state forcibly that not one days
pill must be missed until all have been
taken. or the value of the treatment will
be destroyed and il must be begun all
over again. Since the pills sent would last
something like six years, and since the de-
partment has no record showing whether
a six years course of them would cure
deafness. there is some doubt about the
legality of stopping the doctors mail. At
all events the scheme is a shrewd one.
Mr.. Carnegie's $4,000 gift to New
York city seems likely to get into poll
tics. A bin has been introduced in the
Legislature at Albany providing for
commission to purchase library sites in
New York city. in compliance with the
terms of the gift. AS the bill stands it
would place the commission in the hands
OF Tammany Hall. The bill provides for
an issue of 100000 in bonds to meet the
expense of acquiring the sites. With such
an amount of money in hand for real
estate transactions. the Tammany poll
ticians would no doubt be able to make
a good thing for themselves of the Car
iegie library scheme.
