cracy, but does believe that It Is q good
thins for the South to be getting out
of the "foa.egone conclusion brackets
In the national political equation.
There is but one thing that stands IN
the way Of political Independence In the
South, and that Is tho fifteenth amend.
me,,t. II that were abolished and the
Southern people were relieved OF It's me-
mace. undoubtedly there would be new
political alignment iii this section OF the
nation. II ~ true that most of tho Soutli-
ern States have by constitutional enact-
ment largely eliminated the naS'o from
politics, s.but so long as tho tifteenth
amendment remains, the whites Will be
reluctant to divide
But fifteenth amendment or no
fifteenth amendment, contingencies may
arise, and we fear that they are
likely to arise, before another presiden-
Hal election, Which will spit the Demo-
cratic party Of the South to pieces. an
effort is now making by radical leaders
to ''reorsanize' the Democratic party,
and place II upon platform honcycomb-
cd With socialism,. II so. there are many
Democrats in the South who Will not
stand for It. There is no use at this
time to goa into details. 1t Is enough 70
state the fact in a general way and to
give warning to the self-constituted re.
organizers" Southern Democrats as
whole are. safe and sane however dis
reputable that term may be In tho estl-
nation OF the radicals, and they will
not become party to revolutionary
movement. which will Itrample the. banner
of true Democracy under foot and lift
high tho standard Of communism.

4 Sensible Church Steeple.

At last a congregation has found use

the First congregational Church q
South Chicago has made an interesting
departure. The church building is urna-
mented with an imposing tower which
does not come to point after the arch
iitectural style Of the traditional steeple
Il is as broad at the top as ills at the
base, and it is the pastor who has come
to the point. He Is a widoweT, ana ne
has had the tower cut up into g five
story apartment which he occupies as
his home.

entrance 10 the church. 1t is divided BY

NJ z. Plant Ends Long Voyage.

The little steamer NJ. F. Plant. Cap
tain Nelson, arrived here yesterday.
siXty-three days from Philadelphia. She
WAS bought recently in the East by the
Oregon Coal and Navigation Company
and VIII be engaged in carrying coal
from Coos Bay 10 this port. The Plant
came by way Of the Straits Of Magel-
Ian. where she anchored from Novem-
ber y until November Is. She en-
cOuntered some heavy weather but
managed 10 keep going al the tine and
made fair passage tor vessel Of her
class.
The crew Of the steamer brought to
port a long list Of grievances and sew
eral samples Of the drinking water
which was served 10 them at sea. The
sample exhibited by one old salt con-
tained about 80 per cent Of solid matter
and slime Samples and grievances
VIII be Unf0lded tomorrow before the
United States Shipping Commissioners.
The men complain Of the poor living
accommodation furnished them. The
deck above the fOrecastle, they say,
leaks and when the steamers nose
rooted into a head sea the watch below
received a liberal shower bath. The
Plants fOrecastle in a head sea is like
a basket under a hose" was the graphic
description furnished by one Of the
erievance-ladened mariners.
The Plant. which is a vessel Of 941 net
tons. was launched twenty-five years
ago as the Cocoa. The baptismal name
WAS soon pointed out. however. and the
steamer was known among ships as the
Ar8Onauta. Her name was changed
again to Cuba and once more to the
prosaic cognomen under which she is
now REGISTERED.
