staked out Two fellows who were chums

another man got between them. They
proposed an exchange to him.

you take either one of ours, it won't
make any difference to you and will

THE other man said it was all a gam

rHE sorrH.s MISREPRESENTATION.

This Congress will pass out OF exist
ence without any action being taken look
ing to the reduction Of the south's repre-
sentation in Congress, In the early part
OF the present session Mr.. Crumpacker
and others talked SO loudly and persist
emily Of their purpose to have the South's
representation cut down because some Ct
the Southern states had adopted consti-
tutional amendments taking the ballot
from illiterate negroes, that there was
some alarm in portions of the South.
The talk, however. amounted to moth
ing The reason ii did not Is. doubtless,
that ths Republican party has come to
the conclusion that 1t can gain nothing
from party point OF view, by champion
ing the cause OF the negro.
Indeed, the Republican party is prac-
ticaIy tired of keeping the race question
at the front without being benefited In
the least by doing so. The South does
not give the Republican party any men,
beers Of Congress or any members Of the
electoral college, but the Southern Re
publicans are among the hungriest of the
is In power. This condition of affairs IS
likely to continue as long as the negro
has the ballot in the Southern states.
The Republican party understands this
and has decided apparently to let the
Southern negro look out for himself.
No action having been taken by this
Congress looking to the reduction of the
representation OF the states which have
shut out from the ballot box illiterate ne
groes. it is pretty safe to say that none
will he taken by the next, or any sub
sequent, Congress. Whether or not an
effort will be made to test the constitu-
tionality of the amendments to the con-
stitution of Louisiana. North Carolina AMI
Mississippi relative to the suffrage, is a
question that cannot be determined at
present, but it looks as If the states
would be left free to deal with the race
problem in whatever way may seem best
to them,

Always Has an Answer READY.

The Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany has in its employ philosopher in
the person of a Broadway conductor, says
the New York Sun. 1t was late in the
evening, and his car on it's uptown trip
had reached the vicinity of the city hall.
AS it passed one of the taller Office build
ings stout woman, clutching him by
the arm, exclaimed:
"Oh, conductor. how many stories high
is that building?'
"Leven," laconically replied the con-
ductor without so much as an upward
glance. The woman sank back with q
sigh of satisfaction.
Just then a small man with a large
travelling bag rushed in, almost out OF
breath.
Il say. conductor" he gasped, what
time can / get to the Grand Central de-
pot?''
"'Leven," was the quiet reply.
That's good" commented che small
man, evidently relieved.
AT this juncture another man climbed
aboard that wanted to know about what
time the car would reach the Gilsey
House.
Leven.' again replied the conductor,
with a weary look.
When questioned as to the uniformity
of hiss answers he replied:
Yes you see II you hesitate about an
swering EN- they git worried, but II YOU
have an answer ready they're satisfied
Now, about this time o. night | always

Trena OF the ln.peetion.

Not long ago, says Tit-Bits, Gates
head school teacher was giving his class
a lesson in geography, and in so doing he
gave the boys an account of the city OF
Durham. He endeavored to make his de-
scripdon as interesting as possible, and
pointed out that the ancient city contain
ed some notable structures, mentioning
It's cathedral. castle and prison. A few
days after II. NJ. inspector paid his an
nual visit, and put some geography ques-
tons to the same class. Among othel ),
he asked:
Suppose visited the city of Durham,
to what large building should l be likely
TO go?'
The eyes of one bright boy sparkled; he
evidently had remembered at least a
part of the lesson given a few days be-
fore, and promptly replied:

THE JoNEs-BAcoN RIVALRY,

The Louisville Courier Journal prints
Washington special in which it is stated
there is great rivalry between Senator
this state for the leadership of the min
GRITTY of the Senate. Senator Jones is the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and therefore regards him
self, the dispatch says, as the leader Of
the Democrats i'm the Senate. But, it
seems that he is not sufficiently wide
awake for the position. He is an excel
lent gentleman, but does not keep track
of what is going on. Things concerning
which his leadership would be valuable
are disposed of before he is aware of
what is being done. For that reason, and
others, many of the Democrats refuse to
accept his leadership.
On the other hand Senator Bacon is
always on hand and keeps track of legis-
latlon. Very little occurs with which he
is not thoroughly acquainted. He is also
a ready and forceful speaker. 1t is but
natural therefore that his leadership
should be more acceptable than that of
Senator Jones. While he may not be as
astute as Senator German was, he is
much to be preferred to Senator Jones.
Assuming that the foregoing is a COR
rect statement of the situation it would
seem as if the Arkansas senator would
step aside gracefully and let the Georgia
senator take the lead. A continual con-
test between them cannot possibly bene-
fit the party. On the contrary, it is cal
culated to do the party harm.
There was a suspicion during the pres
idontial contest that Senator Jones was
not the man for manager of the Demo-
cratic campaign. Ills ability is conceded
that is, it is conceded that he is man
of excellent Judgment and considerable
force of character, but, according to ac-
counts, he is too slow. He is no older
than Senator Bacon, but he seems to be,
and his mind certainly moves more
slowly.
1t is limited in the same dispatch that
Senator Clay of Georgia is also ambitious
to lead the minority. 1t seems that he has
forged a long way towards the front
since he took charge of the opposition to
the ship-subsidy bill. He is given the
credit of contributing more to the de-
feat of that measure than anyone else.
There is no doubt that he made a strong
fight against it, and the fact that he did
is being very generally recognized.
The real struggle for the leadership Of
the Senate minority, however. is, from
all accounts, between Senators Jones and
Bacon, and on account OF it considerable
bitterness between them has developed.
That of course, is to be regretted but
if the minority prefers Senator Bacon
there ought to be no hesitation on the
part of Senator Jones in acquiescing in
its decision.
