press should have been confirmed By one
Of the highest OF republican authorities was
not to have been expected.
Mr.. Manley's abatement can mean nothing
less than that In his opinion, the repub

to sustain itself under continuance Of
full responsibility without jeopardising rs
interests IN the elections Of 1904 II IL a

control Of the next house, and that they
comfort themselves with the thought Of

Galveston, Texas, october l2.--The North
German Lloyd steamship Chemitz which

grafton agents going 10 Europe have very
little trouble IN securing an the immI-
grants they desire. Instead Of the agent
seeking the immigrants, it is reported that
the Immigrants seek him, As soon as they
hear that an agent is looking for lmmi-
grants they call upon him quickly and

MR. MANLrYs IDA.

We have some new ideas presented these
days as 10 the matter Of party policy, Here
is whit Mr.. Joseph II. Manley. one OF the
shining lights Of the republican party, had
10 say some days ago,
The next house Of representatives under
the new cessus win have $50 members
While the republicans will make stronu.
Gus fight In every district where they nave
any show whatever, still Il must be admit
ted that II viii be far better for the repub
lican party In the presidential contest Of
1904 II Il should lose the present house Of
representative, and THIS Is apparent to
everyone II the next house should have
n democratic majority they would be power
less 70 pass any legislation. but they would
so show their hand that the republicans
would he greatly strengthened throughout
the country.
Commenting On this the Memphis News
suggests that thls 'Is an unique position
the Republicans occupy. They are going to
win; they are going TO endeayor TO win,
and yet 1t Is not best for them TO win
Now me first thing that occurs TO the aver
age mind Ia contemplating Mr.. Marley S
proposition Is. whyr"
Continuing, the News saysi Tn the hrst
place. why Is II not best for the repub.
neans TO have a majority IN the next house
II 1t Is best FROM the standpoint OF the
kcutIhl Etpb loI AHt ttpNpilthn party 10
dominate the next congress, does 1t not fol
low that Il shoald be also best for the
party9 There can be hut one reason why
control Of the next house would injure IN,
republican narty. and that Is thar such
control would bring with II such duties
and obligations as the republicans are 10
capohle Of dlscharging satisfactorily.
Mr. Maniey's statement has much sig
