A Small Fake.

Macon Telegraph.
 The so-called Populist convention which assembled in Atlanta on Thurs day was a fake. There is no Populist party in Georgia, and neither Tom Watson, nor the Atlanta News, which seems to be Wats0n,is ms, pc personal organ
 A few of the irreconcilable radicals of the defunct party got word to meet and put out an electoral ticket, for the purpose of making a show of support for Watson in his home State. In this work they are aided and abetted by few disappointed men of loose convlc- tions, professedly of the Democratic party, and by the Republicans. It IS blooming farce because there Is noth- ing behind it in Georgia, or elsewhere in Democratic States. It Is intended to mean something, however, Tn the doupt- full States. It is intended to elect Roosevelt There is no use dilly-dal- lying about the truth. The mask does not have to be stripped off. It falls of It's own looseness and weight:
 Fiery eruptions on one hlIl t3p does fire nor does much denunciation pass for convincing logic. The only plaus- ible excuse for Mir. Watsons campalgn Is his confession that he prefers Rose welt to Parker. When there Is chance for Democratic success he buts in to make confusion. Four years ago when there was no show of Democratic sue cess he sulked out. He appeals now Tor port. Did he support them four years ago? Did he open his mouth in that campaign? What claim has he to their consideration? Did he not endeaVor to divide them eight years ago by running a side electoral ticket with himself on 1t as candidate for Vice President
 If MT, Watsons contention that 1t Is better to elect Roosevelt than Parker organizing and all the fighting done Tn Georgia and the South by practically all the white people since 1865. was a mistake, delusion and a fraud. Hill and stephens and Toombs and Colquitt ana Gordon and Turner were fools, and Tom Watson alone is wise.

SOME CHICAGO LYING.

The Chattanooga Times calls atten- tion 10 the large cotton crop in pros- pect. the good price 1t is almost sure to bring. and the half billion or more of good dollars the Southern people will have for spending purposes. Then, having special reference to The Chicago Tribune and The Chronicle, 1t con- tinues:
 If Chicago would only quit lying about the South, treat its people de- gently and with some show of honesty and Justice, notwithstanding this Is a Presidential year. her business men come. Moreover, If the Chicago news papers will make the criminal negro who appears to be the special object of their affectionate solicitude, quit as- of the South. we'll promise therell be no more lynchings. and will promise furthermore for the Southern press that Chicago may continue to enjoy Its ev- erlasting round of disorder. bloodshed, riot. murder. arson and highway rob bery and we'll never open our mouths by way Sf complaint. In the meantime the attention of the Chicago South. South is getting rich and is rapidly reaching a point that 1t doesn't care A rap what the Chicago papers think of it or it's friends.
 Our wide-awake contemporary must bear in mind that these be parlous times for the brethren on the other side of the political fence. The Republican Party is not only on trial for place and power. but knows that if Democ ra ta R,,y an uncovering which will not be at all pleasant to Roosevelt's administration. Taking the lid of the depository of Republicanism's foul secrets may cause an exceedingly unpleasant odor. but the whole country will be benefited in the long run by the exposure.
 The Chicago newspapers of the Re- publican persuasion know what is ahead of them. They know that not only the Union at large but their own State of Illinois is in peril. They may sheer at the idea that Illinois is at all doubtful. but sneers are not votes. Io 1892 when the Democrats had a good candidate on good platform they took in Illinois by a plurality of over 26,000 Of course our Party stood no show in 1896 aud 1900. but this year we again have a sound Democratic candidate on a good platform and it is not at all irn : probable that we will elect him and have the help of Illinois to do 1t.
 Under such circumstances and condi- tions what can Chicago do but lie? Their Republican shouters know they can't injure Judge Parker by telling the truth about him, but it Is possible to save some home votes by misrepresent- ing the Democratic Party and malign- ing the South. It never seems to oc- cur to them that falsehood and abuse may so affect our people that they will not feel disposed to divide their mil lions Of cotton money with a city and a | people so unjust and intolerant. but they might do we'll to think of 1t. Busi- | ness and politics ought to be separate but abuse and misrepresentation of a | people like those of the South may have some effect on their business | transactions. Chicago may learn q lesson before all is done with.

Labor Government Fails.

Boston transcript.
 The expected has happened to the Commonwealth. On Friday. August l2, 1t was defeated by a majority of two votes upon an important measure. mier. resigned and requested Lord Northcote. Governor General of the Commonwealth. to order dissolution or new general election of members of the House of Representatives, al- though eight months had barely elapsed since the last general election. Lord Northcote promptly refused and commanded MT. Reid, leader of the Mir. Reid compiled by selecting a coa- lition ministry. made up of prominent protectionists and free traders. Thus after official control of about fourteen weeks the Labor party resumes it's place as a force in opposition. Their overthrow surprised nobody. not even themselves.

CHIcAGo's SMALL POPULATION.
Less Than City Directory Estimate by
 Over Half n Million.
cinl tO N. N. TImes.

Chicago Special to N. Y. Times.
 According to figures on the popula- tion of Chicago revealed tonight, when the results of the school census just completed were presented to the Board of Education. the total population Is l. 714.144, or over half a million less than the recent city directory estimate or 2.241 900.
 More surprising than this, however. is the fact that the new school census results show the population to be 19S,. 55l less than the figures of the school census of 1900 Compared with the Federal census of 1880, the present fig ures show gain of only 15,569 in four years
 The enumeration discloses that there are 2l2.S45 more males than females of all ages in the city. but only lS,2l6 more men than women over 21 years old.

PRESIDENT SHAKY.
Reciprocity as Demanded In New Eng

Oyster Bay Special to New OrIl
 Times-Democrat.


 Oyster Bay Special to New Orleans
 Times-Democrat.
 The reciprocity issue in New Eng land was the subject of a long discuss sion at Sagamore Hill today by the President with Senators Lodge of Mas sachusetts and Aldrich of Rhode Is- land. The situation in the New Eng land States has been giving President Roosevelt a great deal of concern.
 The Presidents idea was that some- thing should be said in his forthcom- ing letter of acceptance on Canada n reciprocity. He expressed the fear that there was danger of a great Re- publican defection, especially in Mas sachusetts. due to the scant recogni- tion given in the Chicago platform to the reciprocity principle which was the burden of McKinleys last public utter ance. Senator Aldrich Is said to have argued vigorously against any conces- sion to the reciprocity shouters of Bos- ton. and to have urged that the party and the President, too. were commit ted to the stand pat" course.

Negroes should enjoy the fullest pro- lection of the law, while on the other hand the criminal element should be dealt with rigidly and impartially.
 This is exactly in line with what The Advertiser has been teaching all along. The colored people must have justice. and at the same time they must understand that not only their welfare but their lives depend on their actions with regard to criminals of their own race. If they protect a criminal merely because he is black they should not complain if the whites do not always render them exact and impartial justice.

THE RUSSIANS PLAN TO
GET OUT OF PORT ARTHUR.

st. Petersburg, June 10, Ala p. NJ
There is reason to believe that the
plans for the departure of the Port
Arthur squadron in the event that
the fall of the fortress becomes inn
minent have been completed. They
involve the cooperation of the Vlad-
ivostok squadron. After the blockad-
ing fleet has been engaged the unin-
jured Russian ships will affect a june
ture with the Vladivostok squadron
and make their way TO Vladivostok.
The fact that the Korean straits
are mined and guarded by a Japanese
torpedo boat fiotilla, which has been
established to the satisfaction of the
admiralty here, greatly increases the
difficulty of the operation. but the
Russians probably will prefer to take
chances of getting through rather than
of making 1000 miles journey around
Japan.
The attempt may occur at the first
favorable opportunity.

ly is taking nothing for granted. The
possibility of the fall of Port Arthur
or a disaster to the Baltic squadron
after the latter sails for the Far East,
have been considered and no precau-
ton will be omitted to protect st. Pc
tersburg against attack.
The Notifications of Riga and Reval,
have been strengthened, some new
guns of the latest pattern have been
mounted in the fortress of Constradt
and a chain of water batteries run
ming out on either side of the shores
of the Gulf of Finland will guard the
entrance to the mouth of the Neva.
The approaches to Cronstadt are also

THE RISE OF THE RIVER
HAS FLOODED LANDS.

Little Rock. Ark, June 10.-A special
to the Gazette from Pine Bluff says;
The steady rise of Arkansas river
has resulted in flooding nearly all of
Jefferson county adjoining the river
and for some distance inland. Thou
sands of acres of growing crops are
under water, in some instances being
entirely washed up. The loss to the
farmers in this section cannot be esti-
mated, but will reach thousands of
dollars. IL is too late in the year to
replant.
Levees down the river on the north
ern side are giving away rapidly and
this let's water far inland.
Sheriff., in Plum Bayou township,
some distance from the river, is under
water, in some places the floors of the
stores III the heart of the town being
flooded.
The whole of Pastoral township in
this county is under water, with the
exception of a few high plots of
ground. and every plantation in that
district is flooded.
A message from Col. Hon Agree at
the Hannerbery place says that all the
levees in that section broke early this
morning and that fully 1000 acres of
land are under water in his plantation
alone.
