REPUBLICANS HARP
ON THE OLD QUESTION.
EditOrialists Declare They Want
Representation Reduced.

EditOrialists Declare They Want
Representation Reduced.
New York, April 16.-The Republican
Editorial Association of the state Of
New York held its annual conven-
ton to-day. In his report, the presi-
dent, Thomas p. Peters of Brooklyn,
speaking of President Roosevelt, his
negro appointees and the Booker
Washington incident, said the Repup-
lican party had come into being for
the purpose of giving the black man
his freedom, and the party was IN
existence to-day to maintain his
rights"
The following resolution was adopt
ed:
Resolved, That while the members
of the Republican Editorial Associa-
ton of New York recognize the peculiar
social and domestic conditions which
make the question of negro suffrage
in the South so difficult of solution,
we also recognize the fact that moth
ing has ever justified or can ever
justify an attempt to interfere with,
eVade, annul or override the mandate
of the United States. If the negro Is
disqualified for the suffrage in the
states of the South or if the white
man is disqualified in any state of the
North by the deliberate action of it's
legislature. honesty and fairness re-
quire that the voters thus disquali-
fed be eliminated in the enumeration
of the population, as a basis for the
representation of that state in Con-
gress and in the electoral college.
we submit either that the consti-
tuition be enforced in every part of
the land or that it be amended so as
&c preserve the equities of it's intent
and purpose in all the states without
discrimination on account of local con-
dttions, social tradition, or racial feel
ing. We ask the Republican press of
the North to give prompt considera-
ton to this great national question.
which bids fair to become of para
mount Importance, and which must
be met with the same patience, con-
servatism and unfinching courage
which has characterized the leadership
of the Republican party in every great
emergency in our nations history"
Resolutions were also adopted in
dorsing the administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and calling upon the
Republicans in Congress to provide for
the enforcement of the Fourteenth
amendment of the constitution, requir-
ing the reduction of representation in
proportion to abridgement of the right
of suffrage

County Superintendents of Educa-
ton Are Evidently in Favor.

AAOA ANG IN FAKOFs
Macon, April 1.-THE school COM
missioners and superintendent will
hold their next convention in Dublin
about this time next year. The adj
journment of the convention, which
has just been held in Macon. took
place this afternoon.
resolution was referred to a COM
mittee which looks to the passage of
a child labor bill for Georgia. w. It.
Anderson from the Macon Typogra-
phical Union, addressed the convention
this afternoon, explaining the part or
ganized labor plays in educational
work and the interest it feels in i'm
proving the conditions in the factory
districts. He said he regarded the
work of organized labor as equal to
that of the church in it's importance,
that while the church looks to the
spiritual welfare of the man, the labor
organization seeks to improve the
mind and body of the Individual.
He was given an ovation by the con-
vention, and it is said that the COM
mittee will make a favorable report at
its next convention.
The convention passed a resolution,
agreeing that the school worker, who
superintends the schools of each coun-
ty, shall no longer be designated a
commissioner, but a superintendent.
The Legislature will not be asked to
appoint a state board of examiners
to pass upon applications for teachers

a board, was introduced, but caused
a fight and was withdrawn.
Eulogistic resolutions were passed
relative to the life work of DR.. j. L.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
That HyOmei Will Cure the Worst
Case of Catarrh in Savannah.

When one of the most reputable con-
Germs in Savannah guarantees that a
medicine will effect a cure or they
will return the money, It speaks vol
umes as to the merits of that remedy.
1t is in this way that knights Phar-
macy Company are selling Hyomei,
the treatment that has made so many
remarkable cures of both acute and
chronic cases of catarrh in Savannah,
and vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with d
tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe
it in by the aid of an inhaler that
comes in every outfit and benefit will
be seen from the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat. or of the stomach. liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous men,
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do it's work of healing.
When using this treatment the air you
breathe will be found like that on the
mountain high above the sea level
where grow balsamic trees and plants
which make the air pure by giving off
volatile antiseptic fragrance that is
healing to the respiratory organs.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you Knights Pharmacy Co. win
refund your money. This is a good
time to cure catarrh by this natural
method and prevent catarrhal colds
that are so common at this season.

CHOSEN PRESIDENT
Manufacturers Did Not Reject Him Because of
His Distinctive Views on Labor

New Orleans, April 16.-The eighth
annual convention of the National
Association of Manufacturers ended to-
day with the unanimous reelection of
President David M. Parry of Indianap-
oils. There had been much talk of a
movement to defeat him. owing to his
position on the labor question, but
there were no surface indications of
dissension when the election occurred,
the convention ordering the secretary
to cast the ballot of the delegates,
with vigorous cheering. Other off,
GERS were elected as follows:
Secretary, Marshall Cushing of New
York; treasurer, F. II. Stillman of
New York. Hamilton Carrhart of
Detroit declined to stand for re-elec-
ton as treasurer.
Vice presidents for the various states
represented were chosen, and after a
contest for the next place of meeting,
in which Toledo, Buffalo. Milwaukee
and Pittsburg took spirited parts, the
latter city was selected.
The convention was addressed by
Senior AnSelma de Ia POrtella, Mexican
consul, and Senior Yzaguirre of Cuba.
A resolution was adopted, recon-
mending the use of pneumatic tubes
for the distribution of United States
mails in large cities.
Charles Norman Fay of Chicago adj
dressed the delegates in support of his
resolution, urging the national admin
istration, through the Department OF
Commerce and Labor, to prepare for
general tariff revision. The resolution
was also supported by d. b. Farquehar
of York, Pa. S. o. Bigney of Mas

CLAIMS THAT MILLIONS
WERE MISDIRECTED
PhiIbin's Findings in the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company Case

of the inter-urban company, yet in
July last, the Metropolitan company
issued $11, 100000 of it's own bonds and
turned the proceeds thereof over to the
inter-urban company, in accordance
with the arrangement described in the
inter-urban circular, and as agreed
upon by the two companies in the
lease.
" 1T is clear that this $11, 100000 was
provided for the purpose of enabling
the inter-urban company to carry out
it's contract to pay per cent. guaran-
teed dividends on the 52,040,000 of
Metropolitan stock, for the inter-urban
company has no earning capacity OF
it's own, and it's only earnings are rep
resented by the earnings of the Met
ropolitan company itself, which never
have been and are not at present equal
to per cent. on it's capital
Accordingly the anomaly is present
ed of the Metropolitan company, al
though a creditor of the inter-urban,
increasing it's own liabilities by 11,000,
600, so as to enable the inter-urban
company to carry out its guarantee OF
paying dividends upon Metropolitan
stock"
During $685. 1899, 1900 and 1901, the
report says, the company reported ex-
pending for construction and equip
ment $35, ALB, 421, while the actual ex-
penditures, according to the balance
sheets, was S25,355,572.
ION the subject of excessive valua-
ton of investments, Mr. Philbin's re-
port says that the company is paying
per cent. dividends on $4,000, 900,
representing investments, but the in
come from these investments is only
$500, 000 In other words, the report
says the company is paying out an
nually 81, 900, to receive in return
$300.000
mo one could possibly doubt, after
consideration of these and other perth
nent facts bearing upon the subject,
that the company's investment account
has been manipulated to the advan-
tage of some person or persons, for
it is clear that if the company is los
ing over $1,000000 annually through
these investments, some one is neces-
sarily profiting to an equal extent.
"In conclusion Mr.. Philbin's says
calculations and estimates clearly in
dictate that the Metropolitan Company
has claimed for 1902 an expenditure of
cash for change of motive power, ex-
ceeding by more than 100000 the true
cost therof."

So Lieut.. Gov. Lee Exclaimed,
Lighting Out for Chicago.
Kansas City, April 16.-Lieut. Gov.
Lee was served with a subpoena to-
night as he was leaving the city. He
left for Chicago, instead of going to st.
Louis. The deputy marshal having
learned that Mr.. Lee was on the Chi
cago train, said to him:
"Of course. Mr.. Lee, you under
stand that if you disobey this sub
poena, you will be regarded as a fugi-
tive from justice"
Mr.. Lee answered angrily:
Il understand this move. 1t is one
of that fellow Folks. He is always
making an ass of himself"
The subpoena served upon Mr.. Lee
was in local case. 1t was used to
prevent his getting beyond the juris-
diction of the Missouri courts before a
st. Louis summons could be served
upon him. 1t was done upon the re-
quest of Circuit Attorney Folk of st.
Louis. Mr.. Lee ignored the subpoena.
When he learned to-day that dep
uty was looking for him with sub
poena, he went across the line to Kan
sas City. Kan, where he remained
until he came to the union depot to
catch the Chicago train.

GOMPERS ANSWERS
THE SPEECH OF PARRY.
Declares 1t Proves the Latter Il
Bereft of His Senses.

Declares 1t Proves the Latter Is
Bereft of His Senses.
Washington, April 16.-President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor to-day gave out a statement
in reply to the annual report of Presi-
dent Parry of the Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, which was read before that
body in New Orleans. 1t says:
"If there were any doubt that Mr..
Parry had taken leave of his reason,
the report Cor rather harangue) which
he has made to his convention demon
strates it beyond doubt. The Manu-
facturers' Association, at it's conven-
ton at New Orleans, indorseS Mr..
Parrys unjustified, undigested and
malicious antagonism to the effort OF
the workers to secure material and
moral improvement. 1t simply writes
itself down to his low level and stand
committed with him for all the injury
which must follow from his rabid ut
terances. his venomous and ignorant
antagonism, which must provoke only
resentment and retaliation.
Organized labor is the result OF ouI
industrial development and environ
ment. 1t proposes to secure a larger
share of the production of wealth. II
seeks to secure these objects by peace
full and lawful methods. 1t aims to
establish more rightful relations be-
tween man and man.
Organized labor seeks no such con-
flict such as Mr.. Parry would pro-
mote, nor will it run away from IT.
We desire industrial and social peace
and are making for it, Mr.. Parry, and
those who act with him, to the. con-
trary Notwithstanding.
"Organized labor faces the future,
confident and self-reliant, and hurls
back into the teeth of Mr.. Parry his
foul vituperation and abuse. Organ
lied labor is constantly striving for
the attainment of a better and higher
life, the fulfillment of it's mission for
the brotherhood of man.

New York, April 1.-THE Evening
Post to-day prints the following:
The complete findings of Eugene A.
Philhin, former district attorney of
New York county, as counsel for GER
tain stockholders of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, were made
public to-day. This paragraph oc-
ours:
1t is clear, therefore, when the
company's own statements are ana
lyzed, the inter urban lease was cal
culated to provide and has actually
provided many millions of dollars in
excess of the honest requirements of
the Metropolitan Company.
The report also finds that in 1898,
1892 1900 and 1901, the Metropolitan
company stated in it's annual reports
to the State Railroad Commission that
it had expended for construction and
equipment "a sum in cash exceeding
by millions of dollars the actual sum
IN cash which is proved by the COM
pany's general balance sheets to have
been so expended

year refunding bonds, of which about
S94,OO0.000 was to be reserved to re-

Are Source of Concern to the
Naval Authorities.
Washington, April 16.-While deny
ing that the battleship Maine has de-
veloped the slightest structural weak
ness, using the term structural in it's
technical sense, high officials at the
Navy Department are not disposed to
minimize the defects in the Maine as
reported by Capt. Leutze and other
officers of the vessel. The report of
the chief engineer regarding the boil
ers, it is admitted, furnishes ground
for greater concern than the matter of
gun foundations.
Assistant Secretary Darling will go
to the Cramp shipyards next week
and with Chief Constructor Bowles
will make a careful inspection of the
vessel. If it be found that the boilers
are failure, the department will
recommend that they be replaced, but
a board of officers will be appointed to
look into the question before such a
radical step is taken.
