Pneumonia is too dangerous disease

results from cold or from an attack of

the degenerate rich Ofour large cities,

society Of our cities is a society OF

another in the expensiveness OF food,

moral standards are low. Divorce
does not read a rich man or woman
out of fashionable society. They are
the degenerates of the cities. But

suousness. There are many who

Virginia Delegate Says South Has
Most at Stake at Convention.
NswFoRoE BILL oREsHApowED
Declares Principal Feature Of Republl-

Southern Representation - BLOODY
Shirt" Resurrected AS Party Banner.

New York, June 2S.-Thomas r.
RYAN. who Is a delegate from Virginia
to the Democratic national convention
al st. Louis, helieves that the southern
delegates should cooperate to secure
An American who will invite success.
He said:
in the light of the Republican con-
vention. the southern people have more
al stake in the Democratic convention
soon to meet In ST. Louis than all the
rest OF the people of this country.
without the south there would be no
Democratic party The delegates from
that section. to be true to themselves
and their people, should Insist that all
differences, whether personal or polit-
ical. be sub0rdinated to the unification
Of the party and the selection Of a can
didate who viii arouse the enthusiasm
and fire the hopes of Democrats every
where. Success means continued white
supremacy In the South with all 1t inn
plies 1t means that the political faith
Of the people of that section shall be
changed only by appeals to Judgment
and conscience as TO what is best Tor
all the people of our common country,
and not through federal laws dictated
and enforced by a centralized and po-
litically hostile administration mt
Washington reinforced by the United
States marshal when other methods no
longer avail,
1.-THE feature which stands out in the
work OF the Republican national con
yention which has just adjourned was
not its prearranged nomination of
President Roosevelt, or the staEd-pat
attitude on the tariff. It's real spirit is
found in that deliberate declaration
about south Representations spirit
which foreshadows a new force bill and
makes inevitable concerted movement
20 revive all the evil passions to which
such an appeal is made.
Until recently this idea has had in
il nothing more serious than was In
volved in the idle talk OF a few hot
heads or in the efforts of notoriety-
seekers 10 command a hearing now it
becomes the deliberate policy of a great
party which sees In ii an opportunity
to forge a new weapon for prolonging
its tenure OF power.
This policy is adopted in defiance
of the uniform decisions OF the courts
from the lowest 10 the highest; it sets
az naught the precepts and the example
of the late President Mckinley, il he
lies the boasts OF the party leaders that
unity had come to the country; and IL
overlooks entirely the steady move
ments which have promoted with so
much efficiency the Industrial develop
ment of the South, now recognized as
so vital 20 the future growth Of the
whole country. Instead of something 10
typify these tendencies. the bloody
shirt, buried since March. 1885 is res
directed as a party banner.
The South is to be congratulated
that the party has on guard In both
the house and the senate the best or
ganized and the ablest led Democratic
minority since the war"

Is 1T A BID FOR THE COLORED
VOTESP

The Washington Post takes the
Southern newspapers to task Tor
taking too seriously what they call
the negro plank, in the Chicago
platform" and adds that 'it is in
the last degree improbable that the
declaration is intended as anything
more than bid for the negro vote
ia certain Northern States, which
may become doubtful II the Demo
Gratis should act wisely at st. Louis -
The Post may be correct in its di-
agnosis OF the case, and it possibly
has better facilities for correctly in-
terpreting Republican intentionthan
most gifts Southern contemporaries,
but however this may be and what
ever may have been the object OF the
Chicago convention In adopting the
"negro plank is is as much desery-
ing criticism as II its real object had
been to carry into full execution the
threat 1t contains. There isno prob
ability that the election laws OF Nir-
ginia, North Carolina, Alabama and
Louisiana can be successfully assail-
ed as unconstitutional, but the
Southern people, both white and col
ored, since the adoption of these laws.
have on the one hand been convinced
of the wisdom OF their adoption,
while on the other they have accept
ed the Inevitable, and the races have
settled down, after the first excite
ment over, into an era OF peace and
prosperity such as they have never
mutually enjoyed before. And now
comes, superadded to the Crum APP
pointment, Southern postotfice ap-
pointments ofnegrOes, Booker Wash
ington's entertainment at the White
House table, this "negrO plank" in
the Roosevelt platform, to stir up
she Southern negroes again, to keep
them stirred up, and to render the
solution OF the vexed race question,
which il seemed the South was about
TO solve, more and more difficult.
This is the cause OF complaint South
ern people have against this plank,
and they do not believe that it will
in any other way affect their inter
ests. 1t cannot effect their represen-
ta.ion in Congress because their cleo
tion laws are not unconstitutional.
and il cannot effect election returns
except in their interest, but they
want no false hope held out to the
negroes which will render them a dis
cordant element in the South.

THE EASTERN WAR.

To the neutral observer OF events
in the far. East, hostilities have
reached a very interesting stage. ln-
deed the very crisis OF the war APP
pears to be at hand. 1t seems evil
dent from the conduct OF the ,Iapa-
nese officers in command that they
appreciate the situation, and are OBJ
serving every precaution in order not
to make any mistake at this critical
time. They have before them the
alternative Of undertaking the i'm
mediate capture of Port Arthur, or
of attacking the main Russian army
under General kuropatkin, and their
movements show some indecisiOn as
to what their intentions are, If they
are not indeed doubtful themselves
as to the proper course to pursue.
1t would seem to the uninitiated In
military affairs that the problem is
one of difficult solution. Japan IL
under the necessity OF moving two
great armies, one in the direction OF
Port Arthur and one towards the
Russian main army. If KurOpatkin
is attacked first and failure attends
the effort, the relief of Port Arthur
would be an easy proposition Tor
the Russians, for certainly over
whelming defeat of kuroki's forces
would necessitate their removal from
the peninsula. At all events it be-
hoOves the japanese 10 proceed
quickly with whatever action they
propose, and not to wait until the
Russians have accumulated a suffi-
Gent force TO oyerwhelm them, 1t
seems certain that il Japan is to be
ultimately victorious, she must be
successful in the engagements she
now contemplates. DefeatnOw would
strip her of every chance OF final vic
tory, while the moral and material
effect of success may mean her ulti-
mate triumph,
