Endorsing Southern Action.

When some of the Southern States with
large Negro populations changed their con-
stitutons so as to eliminate the coIored vote
from the electorate, and thus avert the danger
of race wars and antagonisms, there was Il
violent protest from a certain class of North
ern Republicans, who were more Jealous than
reasonable Some Northern congressman,
too, expressed the opinion that as the elector-
ates had been reduced representation Ill Con-
gress should be reduced. The United States
Supreme Court in Il decision in case carried
up, declared that the Southern Constitutions
were not III conflict with the United States
Constitution. and the subject of eliminating
the Negro vote and reducing Southern repre-
sentaton in Congress was dropped.
The more reasonable and rejecting of
Northern people recognized the right Of each
State to regulate its own affairs, and conceded
the fact that the people of State were best
able to judge what was proper and right to do
for the preservation of peace and the protec-
ton of society And it is significant, too,
that what the people of certain Southern States
have done is now meeting with open appro-
baton in the North.
At a meeting of the Patria Club in New
York last Saturday night the fact was sharply
emphasized. The Patria Club, with a member
ship of nearly two hundred, is an organization
whose object is to stimulate patriotism and
encourage purity in public positions. AT its
@. II. 1,
was Rev. DIR. George c. Lormer, of the
Madison Avenue Baptist Church. He said
"a great many men wonder whether or not it
was best to give the freedmen the ballot.
Once you get the negro voter convinced that
he has the balance of power he will have the
balance of force and at election time will de-
mand power from the party to which he
is allied. He will demand great concessions,
and issues will be formed and in the North,
as well as in the South, you will have a Lilly
White party. and people who will become
disguised with existing conditions will vote
the Democratic ticket;
No stronger endorsement of the action of
the Southern States in eliminating the Negro
vote can be desired, and 1t Is not suppoSable
that DR.. Lorimer and the Patria Club are
alone in the opinions expressed.
The Negro vote is a source of annoyance
to the Republican party everywhere that it
has the balance of power. 1t has to be hui
mored and pampered, and there is a growing
disgust that the Negro was clothed with the
alaot;ya frapchisa

Blizzard Weather In The West.

DENVER, Col, March 1S.-The snowstorm
which reached this city from the west this
morning has proved 10 be the most severe
blizzard experienced here this winter. The
snow, driven fercely before a high north wind.
makes pedestrianism difficult, and business is
seriously curtailed. There is every indication
that the storm will continue throughout the
night and that the weather will become de-
cldedy colder, especially in the northeastern
portion of the state. Within the city limits
all the street cars, with the exception of few
downtown lines, were stopped, and trains have
been stalled on some of the railroads.
SALT LAKE, March 18.-The severest snow
storm of the winter is prevailing here today
More than four inches of snow has fallen, ac-
companied by 30-mile wind, and street car
traffic is seriously interfered with. The storm
is general throughout Southern Idaho, North
ern Utah and Western Wyoming, and is work
ing westward rapidly.
CHEYENNE, WYo., March 18.-The worst
blizzard of the winter has been raging in this
section since early morning. The air is full
of wet snow and IA high wind is drifting it
badly The weather is cold, and stockmen
say that, unless the storm shall subside soon,
the losses among stock will be enormous.
HOTTEST MARCH DAY FOR 38 YEARS.
MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, March 18-According
to the Weather Bureau today's heat broke the
record for March for the SO years since the
establishment of the local Weather Bureau.
The thermometer registered 722 degrees this
afternoon, the highest previous record being
20 degrees.
SNOW Is INCHES DEEP.
LANDER, WYo., March 19.-The worst
snowstorm in many years has been raging
over Central Wyoming for the last AZ hours
and last night the average depth of snow
throughout this section for 100 miles north
east and south is 10 to 20 inches.
Sheep raisers think young stock will pull
through, but that there will be large losses
among the older animals.

The Republican Party of Purity.

The Republican party of Maryland has
passed as purity organization ever since the
Lowndes campaign of 1895. 1t has clamored
for pure ballot and a primary election law.
A Democratic Legislature passed a primary
election law, designed to secure absolute fair
ness in the selection of candidates aud to cor
rectly register the will of the majority The
Democratic party in Baltimore has adopted it
in its fullest sense, and every voter can vote
directly for the candidate of his choice. What
has the Republican Party of Purity done?-
denied the voters of that party the same priv
ilege, and instead holds on TO the convention
mode of making nominations. At the prima
res, instead of voters being allow to cast bal
lots directly for Platt and Wachter for Mayor
and for candidates for Comptroller and the City
Council, they will be permitted to vote only for
delegates to convention. Should the action
ofthe voters in the primaries be not in accord
with the desires of the machine the bosses
will have chance to manipulate the dele
gates. There is big kick against the con-
vention plan, but the managers of the Repub-
lican Party of Purity are going steadily ahead,
determined to nominate Plat and the other
machine candidates.

A Good Move at Last.

1t has been long time coming, but 1t has
come to stay. now. The custom of entertain.
ing ministers and delegates who attend con.
ference and other gatherings by the citizens
of the places where they meet, is about to be
abolished. Many housekeeper outwardly
eraciously opens her doors to the ministers
and delegates, but at heart she does not feel
that it is the best thing to do, especially now
adays, owing to the unreliablity of servants
In the ''good old days. it was an honor to en-
terrain the stranger within your gates, but
then there were no hotels or boarding houses;
servants were more plentiful and reliable and
entered into the spirit Of the occasion with
great gusto. But times have changed, and
the ministers and delegates, as rule, expect
as good or better accommodation than they
awe athome. Let each congregation, organl-
cation or society provide the wherewithal to
entertain the ministers and representatives
when they are compelled to attend such gath
erings, and not have them feel that they are
intruding upon private family, or upsettng
! their regular routine of life. And another Gus
tom will soon come under the ban-falrs, testl-
walls, oyster and other suppers and Sunday
| school picnics. In some communities they are
becoming ntolerabe nuisances, and ltsis
question ifthey do not do more harm than good
Let every organization keep up their own, as
they formerly did, and not insist upon the pub
| lie being almost compelled to support these at
fairs, either by contributions in goods or by
personal attendance. Surely there is as much
desire for religion as formerly; the congega
tons are not as poor as they were years ago,
and many persons think that the new idea is
more honored in the breach than in the OBJ.

In loving remembrance of our dear daughter Mag

Through the pearly gates of Heaven
Passed the one we loved so dear;
God thought it best to take her from us,
Though she left our home SO drear.
Friends may think we would soon forget her
And our wounded hearts be healed;
But they little know the sorrow
That's within our he irts concealed.
Sleep. dear daughter, take your rest
God called you home-He thought it best.

Seven years ago. dear brother,
He fondly said goodby,
But only left us for awhile.
How sore our hearts had bled,
For he who left so full of life,
Was brought back to us dead.
Death has robbed us of our dear brother
Ofone we love so dearly
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave SO low,
Thou no more will join our number.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed.
And in heaven with JOY to greet thee,
There no farewell tears are shed.

Day by day we saw our dear brother fade
And slowly sink away;
Yet i'll our hearts we often prayed
That he might longer stay,
Oh, the misery of that dread morning,
When we stood around his bed,
Til death stole upon him softly,
And we knew his soul had fed.
In the graveyard softly sleeping.
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly,
In his lonely silent grave.
Farewell, dear brother, may your slumber
Be as gentle as your love,
And when God will call us homeward,
May we meet in heaven above.

Another Electioneering Tour.


President Roosevelt has announced that
about the first of April he will start on Il trip
West and will be absent from Washington
until June. Rest and recreation are the al
legged objects of the trip, but most people will
regard it as an cleetoueerlng tour. II the
President has performed any arduouS labor
since Congress adjourned last Juue, except IN
behalf of his candidacy to secure the nomIna-
ton for President in 1904, the general public
is not aware of it. 1t is true he spent several
DAYS in getting up II coal strike commission,
and has spent some little time i'll urging re-
ciprocty with Cuba and on the isthmian canal
ouestion. but treaties in these cases were
handled and negotiated by Sec'y Hay. And
he has spent some time in entertaining ne
groes at the White House, in trying to force
upon the people of an Alabama town negro
woman for postmisrcsS, and in trying to have
DR.. Crum, another negro, confirmed as col
lector of customs at Charleston, South Caro-
lima. But these were abors of love and not
arduous, and this proposed Western trip OF
more than two months for ''rest and recrea-
ton will not deceive anyone. The PresI-
dent is going West simply to boom himself tor
the Presidency in 1904. We wish him sue
cess. We want to see him nominated.

The Extra Session of the Senate.

The extra session OF the Senate has finished
the work for which twas called-ratihcaton
of the treaty of reciprocity with Cuba and the
treaty with Columbia in reference to the Fan
anna Canal. The treaty with Columbia was
passed by nearly unanimous vote-73 to D.
The treaty with Cuba was amended so
as to make it necessary to have the en-
dorsement of the House of Representatives
70 make it effective. 1t was held that 1t
was measure affecting the revenue and all
such must originate in the House. Whether
the House will ratify it is matter about which
there is some doubt, rs the sugar clause is
certain to meet with considerable opposition
The Democrats proposed a number OF
amendments to the treaty with Columbia, de-
signed to correct admitted defects and to give
the United States ample power to police the
canal. both during its construction and alter
wards. All were voted down by strict party
vote, and then the treaty was ratified by a
unanimous vote Some of the Republican
Senators admitted defeats in the convention,
but determined to ratify it, though it is said
thew would have preferred that the Democrats
should have made stouter resistance, so that
the treaty could have failed. The Democrats
did not propose to be placed in the attitude OF
defeating the canal project to connect the two
oceans, so voted for ratification after empha
sizing the defects of the treaty and making an
effort to apply remedies by amendments.
On Thursday the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty
was ratified by vote of so to 16. Thoma:
f. Bard of California, was the ouly Republi
can voting against the treaty. Ten Democrats
voted with the majority. The Senate accepted
an amendment providing for 80 per cent
reduction on American -four, cornmeal anc
corn sent into Cuba. The treaty will go tc
the House when it meets in December.
The Senate adjourned sine die.
