MARENoo REGISTRATION.
MT. Elmore Gives the Facts About the
 Reaistration of Negroes.

TO the Editor of the Age-Herad:
 Having seen a good deal In tho state rarers al out the wholesale registration of negroes In this county. and desiring to satisfy myself cn this question. I have seen tke chairman of the beard of regis trars and obtained from him the true facts IS to the iegistra ton of both whites and blacks in Marergo County up to date.
 liner, have heen registered l567 whites and 30j blacks. The population of Maren- go County. according to the last census, is 3S 3l5; of this number about 11.0O0 are whites ard about 27,3l5 blacks. The vot- ing population Is about 2200 whites and about 5463 blacks. and 1t will be seen that cnly 5.6 Der cent of the negroes of voting age have been registered. Nor has a single negro been registered who was not qualified under the constitution.
 The registrars appointed are all honest, upright. capable and active working Dem- ccrats ard gentlemen, and their actions meet with the hearty appreciation of the True Blue Democrats of this county.
 It Is the desire of the Democrats of this county. n which the registrars con cur, that oil meu. be they white or black who possess the qualifications prescribed by the new constitution, shall be regis tered.
 Please publish this for the, informa tion of the public At the game time publish the registration of the other counties in tie state, showing the number of whites and the number of blacks registered in the different counties. Yours truly.

He stood as erect as an Indian brave. I marked his shoulders. They were so straightly held that they seemed to lean backward as if the iron breast was barred to the fray, and they seemed as sturdy as those of young woodchopper of the Alabama hills. His eyes I could not clearly see in the dull light of that gild- ed chamber, but every emotion that played upon that classic face was per- fectly discernible. And the short, white hair, thin as spun silver. seemed the only thing white In all that atmosphere of trickery. The thin figure was 1.-the with energy, life, the full-ripened wis., dom of full-ripened years. The old fa- miiar voice never cracked, never broke, Low most of the while, it yet rung when he raised like the tones of a silver bell in the vesper hour.
 Brave, strong. resourceful old states man, his latest effort in the proud work of a noble lifetime was his most mas terly. It may be his last, still if last, still his greatest.
 Yet the pigmies worked the giants undoing. Morgan lost.
 One old man there Tn that seetnlns senate gave me grief. He was Jones of Arkansas, who assisted in framing his party's declaration for the cause Nor gan led. He alone of all those whose duty was to vote with Morgan voted against him; he alone of those of whom much was expected failed utterly and went over to the enemy. He forgot that, though his people had chosen another in his place, it was for him to represent their wishes so long as he voted in the Senate.
 But it Is done-all this striving of the people for the people. The splendor or the most illustrious career in the Senate is as naught bes4ue the power Of the lobby. Morgan has lost. The lobby re- mains king.

vid B. Hill made. Hill is a bit too much inclined to be a politician. He rather prefers to make much of the defects of the opposition rather than to blaze out broad and popular path for his own party. To this extent Mir. Cleveland Is a greater man than Mir. HIll, though Hill would be considered by many smarter than Cleveland.
 The one man, however, who occupies the most conspicuous position in the Democratic party today Is Arthur P. Cor man of Maryland. Unless there Is a great change German will be the next Democratic nominee for President All political indications are tending In that direction at present. And really German Is the greatest and broadest minded man in the Democratic party today. He com pines the general wisdom of Cleveland and the political acumen of Hill. The three words conservative" and "wisS" and "courageous" define German He Is nearer like Tiden than any Democrat today living.
 The present Congress has been about the most miserable failure in the form of 1 Congress that this government has ever had to contend with There has been more manipulation and lobbying and less fix ity of purpose about 1t than any Congress since the war. It has butchered Cubnn matters and has, under the pretense of adopting itshmjan canal legislation, done nothing, but simply postponed this legis- lation for year or two. The conflict be- tween the administration and Congress has wdened into breach which 1t would seem will have the effect of disrupting the Republican party Roosevelt has been strenuous, but certain leaders of the Re- publican party nave been equally as strenuous. Thus 1t would seem that the Republican party has split In twain and | that 1t will be an easy victory for the l Democrats Tn the next Presidential cleo | ticn, provided they nominate a man in 1 whom inc country has confidence. Unless all signs fail, the next President of the 1 United States will be q Democrat. At lec st such Is the opinion Of

The Late Bishop WhlttIe.

"The Right Rev Francis M. Whittle, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Vir- ginia, who died a few days ago. was one of the ablest and most conservative members of the episcopate in the United States" said a well known churchman.
 Bishop Whittle was extremely Tow church and was quick to suppress the slightest tendency to high churchism or ritualism in his diocese. He abhorred ritualism and whatever appeared to be an innovation in the practice of the church in Virginia a hundred years ago. He would not allow an altar in any church under his charge. He nterdict- ed the use of flowers in the chancel and was opposed to everything like display. | A few years ago some of the younger clergy introduced vested choirs. While the bishop was opposed to the innovation he tolerated 1t. This was the one exception to his rule. When a movement was started to convert the stately old Monumental church into a cathedral under the un- pretentious title of the bishops church, he promptly stopped 1t because he did not believe the cathedral had any place in the Episcopal church of the United States.
 Bishop Whittle visited England every few years. He did not hobnob with the lord bishops but on one or two occasions he accepted an invitation to dine at an episcopal palace. It will be remembered that the Anglican bishops dress in the old regulation style, wearing knee brooches and a cassock apron. With the of Ric11 of Y., and perhaps one or two other pre- lates, the bishops of the United States dress In England just as the American right reverend5 have always been in the habit of dressing.
 "When Bishop Whittle went to a bishops palace one day the liveried DOT ter who opened the door said:
 "'The lord bishop Is in but you cannot see him. as he Is presently to entertain the lord bishop of Virginia at dinner.
 "The distinguished Virginian replied dryly: Well, l am not the lord bishop of | Virginia, but I am Bishop Whittle of Virginia I am the man his lordship is 1 looking for,
 "The porter almost tainted at his blum der and also at the plain attire of BlSnop NhHlle. f1e Tndue dlHends as best he could and opened the portal wide to admit the guest of honor Bishop Whittle was fond of joke and often re- lated this little incident with quiet | chucllle.
 ",The bishop was a learned man and a preacher of exceptional power. His coadjutor, Bishop Gilson, is very lib- l eral eccesiastic and will ermit altars, ,colored vestments, flowers and whatever else his priests want that may seem req | sonable."

Street Numbers.

A public spirited lady submits these re- marks to the Age-Herald:
 "Of the many hundred visitors who throng Birmingham every season it is expedient to have some consideration, for their convenience and welfare by placing numbers on corners of avenues and streets. as is done in other cities.
 Birmingham should sustain the well grounded reputation it so deservedly holds for being mindful of visitors and not have them walk to Twenty-fourth looking for Fifteenth street"

or any other plan be fully discussed, but let the discussion proceed on har- mony lines. The State Committee is doing its best to meet the wishes Of the Democracy of the State, and there is no need of harsh words over the important business they will be called upon to transact. Every Democrat from this time on should strive to secure harmony, knowing as he now knows that State primary is to De held in which every Democrat will participate on an even footing. This is the essence of Democracy.

The only way to have and to get har- mony in the party this year in the State is to listen to the people and grant them straight out primary, not a half primary and the other half convention. but a pri- mary where all can have a voice in making nominations. A majority of the candidates the balance don't care) and nine-tenths of the voters want primary. and 1t is the duty of the committee to accede to the powers that created them and thus save any unpleasantness that may arise.

AS To "Citizens" Say.

Two weeks ago the PRESS gave
space to "Citizen," to express his
views on the Importance of in
cooperating the town. There was
little in the communication the
PRESS could endorse, but the
Press is a newspaper and believes
in free and open discussion on all
public questions and that by
such discussion only can an in
telligent decision be formed by
the people.
When the present management
of this paper first came to San
Angelo, we were very much in
favor of Incorporating the town,
but an experience of three or four
months residence here has greatly
modified our views, and of late
we really doubt the necessity of
incorporation, speaking in gen.
eral way.
San Angeles sanitary condition
is really not bad though, of course,
it could be improved upon.
The streets, which Citizen"
says are so awfully bad, the Press
believes will compare favorably
with any town of similar size in
the state, whether Incorporated
or not.
The Press is for anything and
everything tending toward the
progress of San Angelo, but there
may be things worse needed than
incorporation. There is one
thing certain. and that is, the
old town is doing pretty well as
it is, and we dare say as well as
any town in the entire state, with
out an oil boom, and innovations
should be very carefully consider
ed before being adopted.
The PRESS columns are open to
intelligent discussion of this and
all other questions bearing on the
progress and prosperity of San
Angelo and the great Concho
country.
