In 1875 Texas gave $4,000 Democratic
majority; Pennsylvania went Republic
can by $4,000. In 1880, the Republican
majority in Pennsylvania was $1,000;
the Democratic majority in Texas was
$4,000, Texas leading all other states in
majority.
In 1884 Pennsylvania gave $1,000 Re-
publican majority and Texas $4,000
Democratic majority. Texas still far
ahead.
In 1888. Pennsylvania gave so, Re-
publican majority and Texas LAG, 900
Democratic-Texas still further ahead.
In 1892. Pennsylvania gave $1,000 Re-
publican and Texas 40, 900 Democratic
majority. In 1896, Pennsylvania shot
ahead with 295,000 Republican majori-
ty. but Texas was not very far be-
hind with 100000 majority for the
Democrats
In 1900 the Republicans carried Penn
sylvania by 2ss.00 end the Democrats
carried Texas by 146.000-Pennsylvani
far in the lead.
On these two state, one intensely
Republican and tho other overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, the two parties are
likely to depend this year for their
banner majorities; and under existing
conditions 1t is not thought probable
that the Democratic majority in Texas
win fall below 100000. whatever may
be the results in Pennsylvania.

ed dissertation to lament a lot which
proscribes US from fellowship with i'm
mortals. No wonder everybody wants
to be an alderman! Was there ever
before known since traditional star
chamber days of a body or gathering
quite so august and supreme in the
unbridled run Of power!
And yet there were protesting
voices against this triumph of nerve
and arrogance last night. Alderman
Kohn made an earnest and eloquent
plea ON the question of courtesy in
volved in the application of Mr..
Chambers to appear before the coun-
ell. That alderman said:
HE meant no discourtesy to Alder
man Coins, but that 1t was a courtesy
that certainly should be shown to Mr..
Chambers. He had listened patiently
to everything the Representatives of
the Citizens Light Heat and Power
Company had to say. but had turned a
deaf ear to Mr. Chambers and the city
electrician, because at the last regu-
lar meeting of the council the light
question was deferred to special
meeting for the express purpose of
hearing from Mr.. Chambers and the city
electrician. He was not a man to stifle
competition. but he did not think 1t
equitable for the old company to go
10 the expenses OIL moving tnelr Wlr0
for the benefit of the new company"
Alderman Forbes with his usual ex-
hibition of fairness favored the prop
osition of allowing Mr.. Chambers to
address the council on the sensible
ground that "he wanted all the light
on the question involved that could be
obtained"
We like the best of all this shoulder
blow administered by an alderman who
didn't hesitate to call spade a spade.
Alderman Guntcr. speaking with
visible earnestness said that the coun-
ell had acted shamefully and had acted
in a manner that in later days the al
derman would never think of with sat
isfaction. They had practically invit-
ed Mr.. Chambers to come before the
council and now had turned him down.
It's beastly shame!" he continued
with warmth"
The Times Is glad to qualify this
high handed proceeding with such quail
ifications as are expected in the quo
ted protests of aldermen who were
unwilling to disgrace council traditions
with such an act of usurped power
and privilege. The lesson taught us
is reflected in this inquiry. Has II
come to pass when the privilege of fres
speech is denied in the city council Of
Montgomery?

MIR. CHAMBERS IS sQUELCHED

MR.. CHAMBERS IS sQUELCHED.
We have arrived upon strange and
unusual times in the evolution of mu-
nicipal policy when a citizen of Mont
gomery Is denied the privilege of
speech in the city council. particularly
when that privilege is ordained in ex-
ercise to a matter upon which the
council NEEDED the fullest measure of en-
lightment. The Times does not hesi-
tate to denounce the discourteous treat
ment expressed by the council in its
refusal for Mr.. Chambers to appear be-
fore that body last night. as a piece of
impudent and arrogant assumption of
usurped power. Upon what meat hath
these our Caesars fed that they should
grow so defiantly bold in resisting an
ordinary exercise of privilege that Is
inherent in the rights of the people
they are supposed to be serving? This
Individual attempt at petty outrage
and tyranny is in consistent keeping
with the record that has long ago made
the present city council one of the
most hidebound and intolerant bodies
ever banded together in the council
chamber. The Times has previously
had occasion to charge this fact as evil
denced in such prescription policies as
those of the redistricting ordinance by
which the people, or a large portion
of them. of the suburbs were ruthlessly
and Enthusiastically stripped of their pri-
mary rights as citizens. We have the
autocratic tendency in the redistricting
ordinance perpetuated and intensified
in the enormity expressed in last
nights proceedings. Mr.. Chambers, q
tax-paying voter and representative
citizen relying upon the prerogative
vouchsafed the humblest man who
walks the streets to appear before the
ordained representatives of the people
to state his cause, is brazenly told he
is persona non grata to the sacred
assembly of the Olympian gods. and
that in Difference to the wall of divin-
ity that hedges that inviolate conclave
from the pollution of the outer world,
he must observe the limits that differ

arid sands we somtimes wander as did
Mr.. Chambers last night to catch a
glimpse of the enthroned gods of para

Atlantic League do not miscarry in
1905.
President Sidney L. Dodds, of the
Delta League and George Wheatley of
| the Cotton States League have cher
| ished ideas for some time that clubs
| from their respective leagues. placed in
New Orleans and Memphis, with a
schedule so arranged as not to conflict
with the Southern League play, would
please a public and at the same time
| would not interfere with the plans or
| patronage of the Southern league fran
chise holders.
For many weeks past a baseball en-
| thusiast and theorist has been trying
to induce the Kitty League. which is
| made up of clubs in Kentucky, Indiana
| and Illinois. to bolt from the protec-
ton of the National Association of
Minor Leagues and proceed in a free
| lance way. By such action the Kitty
League could place a club in Nashville
irrespective of the clause in the con-
stitution of the Minor Association
which gives the members exclusive use
of territory within radius of many
miles of the town wherein the club is
located.
The plan of President Dodds and
Wheatley, however, is not to commit
any act which would be an infringe
ment on the laws of organized base
ball. Rather they intend to consult
with the owners of clubs at Memphis
and New Orleans and will make an at
tempt to show the holders of the South
ern league franchise where benefit, fl
nancial and otherwise will be gained
by allowing a Delta League club or a
Cotton State League club to ocupy the
southern league premises while the big
club is touring.
In Birmingham it is reported that a
well organized movement has already
been started to form a club to join the
South Atlantic League, and should

For no eccle siastic can have been more widely known than he.

Then he sends the flower, the young lady puts it in vase of wa. ter, and in three or four hours the message written on the leaf be comes perfectly visible, and re. mains so.
