RE1URNISG GOOD SENSE

The Nicaraguan canal bill passed the
house of representatives under whip and
spur. Two members, one of them from
Minnesota, had the courage to stand
against the wave of unreason by which
those who favored extending considera-
ton to the offer of the Panama company
were carried off their feet. Congressman
Hepburn was the hero of that occasion.
He succeeded in demonstrating his own
Grass ignorance of the subject on which
he might be assumed by virtue of his
position to be the best informed member
Of the chamber. But he also succeeded in
applying the whip of party dictation to
his fellow Republicans, and of dread
of consequences to a covering minority.
If there had been any real leadership Of
the minority on that occasion it is need
less to say that the party would not
again have been put in the position of
being the plant tool of the majority.
Public sentiment since then-that is. in
telligent public sentiment-has found
voice. The proposition of the Panama
people, so recklessly and insultingly re-
jected by the house, has steadily ap-
the intelligence of the country; and will
in spite of the demagogism and cowardice
of the house receive at least a respect
full hearing. No Democrat could, as T h Q
Glob e then said, have voted for the
proposal to turn the determination OF
the question of choice over to President
they should have beeen confined to any
such alternative. There were a dozen
amendments beside that. any one of
which might have been submitted to the
house had the minority had any real
leadership on the floor. But the oppor-
tunity, like many more that had preceded
it, was allowed to pass. Now. whatever
course is finally decided on with refer
ence to the French proposition, little of
credit can come to the minority in con-
nection with the transaction.
What does this French offer carry with
1t? 1t involves practically an offer of
the Panama canal route, with all the
machinery, appliances and work done at
the figures set upon them by our own
representatives, the members of the
isthmian canal commission. 1t means a
material reduction of a price previously
asked and considered by the commission
of. in even numbers, $l1OOeO,O0O The offer
practically takes the merits of the Mic
aragua offer away and places the best

An OBJECT LESSON

President Hill, ir his recent address
before the farmers at Fargo. related to
his hearers an incident of his having sug-
gested to certain Japanese gentlemen
the advisability of mixing the cotton
they were in the habit of using with
some of the American-grown article The
result of the adoption of his suggestion
he told in the following words:
They ordered few carloads. The re-
suit mas been that we have not been able
TO fnd transportation to supply the ORR
entail demand for American cotton from
that time to this. During the months of
September, October and November lust
past we shipped about $1,000 bales Of cot
ton to the Orient. This was all we could
ma snip room to carry. The amount
could have been doubled had the shin
room been available. During this time
other roads have also carried their share
OF cotton to the East, and their expert
ence has been practically the same as
our own.
A recent report published in the Seattle
Trade Review on the cotton exports
from that port gives striking contirma-
ton of the truth Of Mr.. Hills statement
That publication shows that in 1901 the
Puget Sound district forwarded to the
Orient and to the Pacific islands in the
three months of September, October and
November 9,511, 233 pounds of cotton, while
in the preceding year the same district
| forwarded only 1SO,245 pounds, an advance
in the one year Of about $3.50, 900 pounds
| of the great Southern staple.
Tn +ba x,oo. 1oo1
trict exported S.455,744 pounds, or some
thing like 100000 pounds less than went
| from the North Pacific port
Mr.. Hill, furthermore. referred to the
acquisition of the Burlington road as be-
| ing entirely influenced by a desire to
| reach the markets of the South and
Southwest, thereby increasing the trade
| of the Northwest, and adding to the bust
ness of the two Northwestern roads and
accordingly to the prosperity of North
western communities.
Who will say on the figures published
| by the Seattle Trade Review on the ship
ment of the single article of cotton that
the result held in mind cannot be accom-
plished, or that the shipments of the
| North Pacific ports to and from the
| Orient relatively to that of San Fran
cisco and other Southwestern ports and
of Canada are not and are not likely to
be materially increased by the policy thus
outlined? The proposition is self-evident.
Commercial communities are mostly in

NOSES IN THE BULL PEN.

1t was sad echo of recon-
struction and carpet-baggism which
came few days ago from a Bos-
ton police court, when Franklin J. Moses,
was sentenced to four months impris-
onment for the larceny of an overcoat.
This man Moses was Republican gov
ernor of the commonwealth of South
Carolina for one term, and was the
leading representative of his party in
that state during the blessed reconstruc-
ton era. 1t was through the influence
of him and his predecessor, Scott, that
the reconstruction constitution Of that
era was adopted, of which it was said at
the time: cit was the work of Northern
adventurers, Southern renegades and
ignorant negroes. Not per cent Of
the white population of the state ap-
proves it, and not 2 per cent of the ne
groes who voted for it's adoption under
stood what this action implied"
Through it's sustainment of unspeaka-
variety the Republican party has a rec
ord Of crime and criminality in the South
which it will never perhaps overcome.
Under their and it's control the funded
debt of the state of South Car
DINA was increased in five years
from $5,500,OO0 to over SIS, 1000,
including past due and unpaid interest
for three years. In history of the rob-
berries and outrages perpetrated during
that period, written shortly after by a
Republican, the frauds are divided into
seven distinct classes, and the result is
summed up by the same writer in the
following terrible statement Of fact: "As
the treasury of South Carolina has been
so thoroughly Quilted by the thieves who
have hitherto had possession of the
state government, there is nothing left
to steal. The note of any negro in the
state is worth as much on the market as
South Carolina bond"
This is the kind of government for
aOO4ASlluS WHICH the oOuln is now to be
punished. The Crumpacker bill names
the penalty. It is that of disfranchise-
ment. While Moses reveals in his own
person the inevitable consequences which
come to the individual from the pursuit
of the paths of vice and crime, and suf-
fers the penalty of the law for his latest
and most miserable offense, the Repub-
lican party of the nation appears willing
to commit itself to a restoration of the
rule of just the same influences, or if it
cannot get that result, will deprive
Southern communities of their rightful
representation in the different depart
ments of the federal government
Democrats are quite willing that the
experiment shall be made Its conse-
Quences will fall on the heads of its
| authors.

been in the past ten years that a prac-

cry other than that encompassed in
the human body could separate. nearly
a hundred characters, pick them up
again, form them into words, combine
the words into sentences and place
them in readiness for that older but
none the less marvellous result of

The Simplex does it though, and does
it five or six times as fast as the most
rapid compositor.
1t was easy to make mistakes in the

reader will be considerably lessened

1t would be almost an impossibility
to give an accurate description of this
wonderful machine and the only way
to get even faint idea of its possi-
bilities is to come and examine its
workings. We publish picture in
this issue which is accurate ms far as

gives no idea as to how it is operated
The Simplex typesetter uses just the
same kind of type as is set by hand
Each individual type has IA separate
combination of 'nicks'' or notches
cut on the edges, and ON this fact is
based the fundamental principle of the
machine. AS will be noticed in the

vertically their full length, are nine
ty parallel channels, each channel cor
