OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

1t is neither kind nor just to
criticise those more or less distin-
guished democrats who have come
over to the republican party since the
election. These gentlemen are really
self-sacrificing patriots. They realize
that the democratic party is in need
of publication; hence they get out of
it.-Chicago Chronicle.
The fact of the matter is that
the administration realizes that diff
ficult task is ahead of it in the Phil
ippines, for which more soldiers will
be needed than it dares avow. If,
then, some scheme can be railroaded
through congress which will permit
of great army obtained under false
pretenses all will be well. This is
ingenious, but scarcely practicable.
The American people cannot be fooled
all the e.-Boston Traveller.
What the republicans are accus-
toned to call "A democratic funeral
has repeatedly been only the prelude
to a democratic victory. With this
fact of history for their enlighten-
ment, we cannot suppose that the re-
publican leaders are hugging the de-
fusion that they have nothing to ap-
prehend in the way of opposition in
the congressional elections of 1902 or
the presidential and congressional
campaign of 1904.-Washington Post.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.
Prospects of Another Force BILL by
Way of Furnishing the
Democrats.

The radical wing of the republican
party is evidently anxious to revive
the bloody shirt The Washington dis
patches hint of another force bill,
modelled after the one which passed
the house but was beaten in the SEN
ate ten years ago; of reduction in the
congressional and electoral representa-
ton of the south; of an attempt to
unseat Senator Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, and to throw out Kentuckv's
electoral vote; and of wholesale un-
seating of southern democratic repre-
sentatlves in the next congress-all of
which seems to be detached parts of a
more or less carefully-arranged plan
to punish the south and make it suffer
Tor the crime of remaining democratic.
For the democracy of the south, and
not her denial of the suffrage to the
negro, will be the real reason for
whatever war may be levied against
her by the republicans in congress.
The republican party long since ceased
TO care what becomes of the negro, if
1t ever cared for him except for his
vote. The south could to-day purchase
immunity and carte blanche to dis
franchise every negro, if in return
Mark Hanna and his agents could be
sure that republican congressman and
electors would he forthcoming.
How is the south to be punished for
the crime of being democratic? By an
other force bill? 1t is rather late in
the day for ideas which smack of the
reconstruction period, and recall the
terrible wrongs inflicted upon the
south by the republicans during that
era. BY reduction of southern rep
resentation, so as to base the represen-
tation not on the population, but on
the vote? How would such a plan af-
feet old abolitionist Massachusetts,,
which enforces an educational test?
Take North Carolina, for instance. No
one doubts that it is constitutional to
enforce an educational test; the dis
puted point is in regard to the "grandfa-
ther clause" which is intended to pro-
tect illiterate whites in the right to
vote, while the illiterate negroes are
excluded. The supreme court has not
yet passed upon the constitutionality
of this provision. Should it be declared
unconstitutional, that would dispose
of the race discrimination; all Hitter
ates would be treated alike. But should
it be declared constitutional, what
then? Would congress actually reduce
North Cardinals representation as a
punishment for exercising a constitu-
tional right?
The south is dealing with the race
question as intelligently and we'll,
probably, as any community in the
world could do. Upon the south has
fallen the burden imposed by the
wholesale enfranchisement of race
just out of Slavery. With the general
support of popular sentiment in the
north, the negro has been eliminated
as an element of control in the ad-
ministration of public office in the
south The elimination of the negro
may be made the pretext, but should
the south suffer it will be not for that,
but for her democracy.-Albany Argus.
