The South Has Itself to Blame,

From the Kansas City Journal.
If the South Fl ads a deep senti-
ment in the North against it Excess
sive representation in the House and
electoral college, it has itself to
blame. Everywhere else the coun-
try divides on questions of govern
ment, Of financial and economic
policy. The South refuses to con-
slider these questions, and votes
solidly for a party ticket on issues
having nothing whatever to do
with matters of general govern
ment. The situation is such that
whenever a band of radicals up
North get control of the Democratic
and launch politics
the country, the South
votes solidly with them, ever when
the Southern sentiment is wholly
opposed to the platform offered.

is that crimes in our State have

A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS.

DR.. S. Hassell made a trip to New
Orleans about ten days ago and made
some interesting observations for the
short time he was there. He found
New orleans great business centre.
The people seem rich and spend money
freely. 1t is dirty city except in the
residence portion.
The inhabitants are largely cosmo-
poljtan, there being people of almost
every nationality. He saw many
French people and heard the French
language much spoken on the streets.
The atmosphere is heavy, but DR..
HasselI said he did not observe any
particular stamp of the climate on the
people. Some look robust, healthy and
intelligent while others do not. He
said that after two hours ride from
Atlanta be could feel difference In
the atmosphere. The lands near the
city look DOGGY, something like the
Roanoke bottoms.
Twenty miles from the city the
lands look fine, and large quantities OF
sugar cane are raised. Sugar 1eineries
dot the railroad at towns, stations and
functions.
DIR. Hassell said he was impressed
with the observation that the people OF
New Orleans drink large quantities Of
whlskey and otherstrong drinks. In the
fine French cafes, which furnish almost
any and everything wanted to eat, the
men and women who pass for the lest
sit and drink together and it seems
nothing unusual to the people of the
city.
In Tulane University there are five
hundred students in the medical de-
partment. The charity hospitals are
immense. They will accommodate
from 1000 to 1000 patients.
DR.. Hasseil said there was an epe-
demic of Ia grippe when he was in
New Orleans and the people were sui
fering very much from 1t.
