IT IS REAL MAD.

The indications are that Thomas c. Platt, Ambassador from the great State
 of New York to the Senate of the l the esteemed Chattanooga News. On | the contrary, quite the reverse. Toms bill to reduce Southern representation has rubbed the hair the wrong way in
 The News office, and 1t thus explodes: Other States in the South are treated to the same dose that a lecherous old rerrobate may pass to his reward with the clamor of an outraged and indig- nent people ringing in his ears. There has never been a day or an hour when the name of Thomas c. Platt stood for anything high or noble in national pol itics. He has been a corruptionist all
 of his public life. He has never at tached his name to a single measure
 that makes for the common veal His name is synonym for corruption, for
 sharp practices. for bribery, for de-
 bauchery. for dishonesty in public ser vice and for everything else that is the antithesis of good. He has been
 contemptible. sneaking. treacherous politician and in no sense and no way
 statesman. That is the sort of man Platt is, and it is therefore eminently fitting that he should have been select
 ed to lead in this damnable conspiracy
 to rob the South.
 That is what is usually designated
 as hot stun, and there is more of 1t.
 The News Is mad, that's what's the mat
 ter with it. and we are not saying that
 we blame 1t, but what's the use? The
 other fellows are running things now,
 and they seem disposed to run them their own way. They may be able to
 pass some such measure as that pro-
 posed by Platt, Keller & Co.,, but we
 much doubt it. We do not believe
 that a majority of Congress can be
 found to vote for such a measure, for
 we do not believe that even the Re-
 publicans will enact a law which will affect only Southern States while
 Northern ones. equally guilty. if guilt
 there is. escape, and when they under
 take to include the Northern States
 there will Joe such bucking and back ing as will paralyze some of the South
 haters. But The News is mad, for a fact.

 Senators and Representatives who seem so anxious to raise new sec tional isue by the partial dtsfranohise- ment of the South for its alleged politi- cal crimes had better employ their re- formatory zeal nearer home. If de- basement of the ballot and chicanery at elections be urged as reasons for the reduction of representation in congress and in the Electoral College. the dele gations of many Northern States would have to be cut down in any fair reap portionment to as great degree as it is proposed by the Platt bill to cut down the representation of the South. Tho intelligent and conscientious citi- zen of Pennsylvania. whose vote Is sub merged in a flood of fraudulent ballots cast by the repeaters and personators in the employ of the machine. suffers an abridgement of his privilege of choosing his rulers no less than does the illiterate Alabama negro who Is unable to qualify as an elector under the laws of his State.
 But the Republican outcry against disfranchisement in the South is the merest hypocrisy. An honest move ment in the interest of purity in elec- tions would be directed against every form of electoral fraud.

 Washington Post.
 The Philadelphia Public Ledger of Sunday, the 4th. instant, contains what purports to be an explanation of one of the most interesting episodes in the abominable politics of that city. It has special relation to Israel W. Durham. the Republican leader, and John Weav- CT, the mayor of Philadelphia, and con = nects them with the strange case of Samuel Salter. formerly of Washington, whose phenomenal acquittal on the charge of wholesale ballot-box stuff ing in the Quaker City, two or three years ago, was a sensation of no mean dimension. He had been a fugitive for many months, and his bail had been de- clared forfeited, when he suddenly re- turned for trial, and, as is alleged, in spite of law and evidence, went forth .vindioated." It was famous victory" The Public Ledger is one of the most reliable newspapers in the United States, and its pecuniary responsibil- ity for its assertions Is ample. It's ex- plation is. in effect. charge that Mir. as the one in which Salter should be tried; that he arranged for a jury panel every man of which could be counted upon to disregard the evidence and vote for acquittal; that having satisfied himself upon this point he made known his plans to Mayor Weav- CT. who was at that time district at torney; that the latter, with full un- the trial of Salter before the judge selected by Durham and by a jury picked from a panel which he clearly understood was satisfactory to Durham and others interested in Salter's &C., quittal.
 Assuming that Messrs. Durham and Weaver are innocent-as we are bound to do in the absence of positive proof of their guilt-there would seem to be good prospect of legal proceedings in Philadelphia quite as interesting as those which marked the trial and ac- quitial of Salter. At any rate, The Ledger has boldly challenged prosecu- tion-

Life of a Vegetarian.

One of the most extreme vegetarians is the we'll known Russian sculptor. Prince Troubetzkoi. who recently visited Paris He considers meat eaters not much better than cannibals. taboos even eggs and milk and lives on vegetables boiled in on salads, fruits and bread. At his home in St. Pe- tersburg he has a number of animals, in- cluding a bear two wolves and nine dogs. none of which is ever allowed to eat meat.
 The richest man in Canada Is George Washington Stevens. His father was a citizen of the United States. who acquired an immense for tune in the lumber business, and be- ing compelled to live in Montreal be- cause of his interests, asserted his Americanism when he christened his son. Mir. Stevens resides in a beau tiful stone mansion, in the heart of the city. and pays between $50, 1000 and $60,- 900 a year in taxes upon his Montreal property. He lives a quiet, unosten- tatious life, and seldom leaves his .home

SPEAKING OUT PLAINLY.

uS H0iAWduhCo EEee &TCSc AS Out ol the staunch Republican papers of the great West, or Middle West. which is not afraid to speak out on the tariff question and to speak in very plain language. Here is a specimen from a recent editorial:
 The ''tariff robbers" have every ad- vantage over the bandits of the desert and mountain, in that they incur no risks. There Is no danger in their call ing. No outraged outside government sends ultimatams to disturb the quiet and break upon the enjoyment of those who rob the people of the United States of more money in a year than all the pirates and bandits in the world have picked up in a thousand years. What they do they are given the pow afterwards hold up and rob. What they do they they do lawfully; and they are the firmest believers in the world in the theory that when the law ized thefts is revised, 1t must be done by the friends of the principle that the millions of the people exist principally for the benefit of the few hundreds, or thousands. who profit from unreason- able tariff protection.
 That is about as plain and pointed as anything the Democrats say, and 1t shows the spirit that Is growing in that section, for 1t is not to be sup posed that a paper which has been among the foremost in it's support of Republican candidates and of most of the Republican policies would be thus outspoken did 1t not know that it would be sustained by popular opinion among those who support it and whose feelings it is supposed to represent. In the opinion of The Free Press one of the most serious questions among Republicans at present is whether an other Republican Congress can be elect ed in 1906 if the one elected in 1904 fails to do anything" That is a point they are worried over and have cause to be. They know that the country expects some modification of the Ding ley tariff, and The Press declares that even the stand-patters are feeling doubts on that subject while those who favor revision are beginning to feel something more than doubtful on the subject In truth the tariff matter is something of live wire for the other side and they are not at all at ease about it-all of which Is encouraging to Democracy.

 Chief Mason. after remarking that he had been bounded long enough, voiun- taftly assured the other omcials that he would strictly enforce the law, raiding any gambling houses that might happen to be running and would en- force the midnight closing of saloons.
 The chief further said he would take away the star of any policeman who failed to report gambling houses In existence on his beat.
 If the Chief of Police of Montgomery win follow the example of the Mem phis Chief, he may be able to take away some of the odium resting on Montgomery, of being a place of refuge for gamblers.

THE REPUBLICAN ASSAULT ON THE

THE REPUBLICAN ASSAULT ON THE SOUTH.
 Some time ago The Indianapolis, Ind. Sentinel. one of the ablest newspapers in what is called the Central Western group of States, remarking editorialiy on the position of the Republican Par ty on the negro question, declared that It is a matter of humbug and false pre- tense from beginning to end. Said The Sentinel:
 As appears from the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United StateA there has been no violation of the As appears by the oficiai election res turns. there is no Southern State in which negroes do not vote if they can read and write. and the same require ern States. As apPears by the consti- tutions and laws of the several states. the qualification requirements are the same for whites and blacks. and the grandfther clause" has been misrep- resented as q bugaboo far in excess Of its actual dimensions As appears by the vote of other States, compared with the voting capacity. voting is a matter of choice rather than of restriction. and the vote in a close state like In-
 
 sided States.
 But of all the Republican shams, the worst is the pretense that this pro- poseS reduction of representation in gro. In so far as he is excluded there, he is either excluded constitutionally or nconstitutionally. If the former, there is no ground for complaint. If United States authorities to enforce the Constitution and give him his right to vote. But this proposal of the Repub- lican Party Is to accept an alleged un- duce representation. How will that help the disfranchised negrof It will help the Republican Party nationally by practically giving 1t a permanent will remain disfranchised. It is virtu- ally the same scheme that was used in 1S76-throw the negro overheard and swap local control of the Southern States for national control.
 If this scheme is carried out, it will deprive the negro of his power in the Republican Party. He will not vote, but his vote will be the same as count ed for the Republican ticket in nation al affairs. and that is the only use the Republican managers have for him. And with the end lof his usefulness in the South, the influence of the North ern negro in Republican politics will go also The amusing feature of it is that Crumpacker. and the rest, who are pushing this unconstitutional scheme, are posing as the special friends and champions of the negro and most of the negroes are swallowing their pro- fessions of friendship.
 Aside from mere political considera- tions, 1t is evident that this problem Is a very serious one. 1t can hardly be questioned by thinking men that we have made the suffrage too cheap in this country, and that there is in con- sequence an undervaluation of the privilege that is so injurious as to call for some remedy.

The Fort Gaines Recorier is almost glad Parker was defeated. It reasons that if he had been elected, and the slump in cotton had come on as it did, we wouldn't hear the last of it in a hundred years.

The following from The Richmond News-Leader will ht like the paper on the wall by substituting Montgomery for "Richmond":
 Our town is doing well, but not we'll enough. We cannot afford to be satis- fled There is no such thing in the life of a community as standing still. We must so forward or backward. We have innumerable advantages here and Richmond should take and hold the po- sition of the metropolis of the South Whether she shall do 1t or not depends entirely on her own people. and all her people. In a movement for develop ment everybody can help. from the mil lionaire to the day >laborer. All of us are equally interested and each of us should do his or her part, Time spent in talking things over, even in a very general way, is not wasted. Cities are built on ideas and discussion of needs and possibilities by intelligent people of all classes creates ideas. We can do nothing better than to get in the habit of thinkinng and talking as a whole people and for Richmond. Our tendency is to break up into ciiques and classes with small and separate in- terests and topics, and to lose sight of the welfare of the community. Ev- erything that brings us together and ihcites and teaches us to think and feel together is for the general good.
