WITHOUT REPREsEN
TATiON.

The paternal form OF government IN
our new possessions in Samoa does not
suit the natives there. They held a
convention Of the chief citizens from
all the Islands at Tutulla and asked
some very pertinent questions OF the
commandant. Especially why he
should make the laws without consult
ing them and why they should not have
voice in expanding the taxes col
lected Taxation without representa-
ton is protested against by even the
untutored savage, it seems. In the
island Of Msnan the cable informs us
the condition was better; the natives
are building school houses and max
ing roads without any desire for COM
pensation. Those natives are on the
high road to civilization and their chill
dyen will live to see the day Of either
being citizens Of their own republic or
represented in the Congress OF this

The Census Bureau has issued a
bulletin which reveals the fact that
while there are 1,63S,321 more males
than females in the United States the
latter are taking the so-called easy
jobs in the cities and forcing the
former to seek living in the mines
and woods and on the farms. In 1851
cities in 1900 the excess of females over
males was 20l ,959. That of males are
increasing on the farms is shown by
the fact that the excess Of the sterner
sex over the weaker in the country was
/ $40, $50 in 1900 against 1,b19,559 in
1890. Another discouraging feature is
the increasing proportion Of the death

A sepusLlcAN susreRFuoE

Senator Allison OF Iowa has semi
officially given his view Of what the
Republicans should do on the tariff
Characteristic OF his intense caution
he out-rivals Fairbanks in that-"he
has not reached definite conclusion
as to whether the tariff should be re-
vised or not, but does feel certain that
no matter how desirable revision may
be. it is not worth the price OF party
dissention and whatever is done must
be accompanied by absolute harmony
within Republican ranks" II one
might interpret this Delphic oracle, it
will be fair to say that the Senator
does not expect any revision, because
IL is impossible to get absolute har-
mony" amongst the Republicans.
There is no harmony in Iowa, only an
armed truce, and the faction headed
by Governor Cummins, who believes
the tariff fosters trusts, are utterly un-
able TO agree with the standpatters.
In Massachusetts, in Minnesota, in
Wisconsin and other States, the same
armed truce prevails, or rather did
prevail before election. The voters
will hold the politicians to strict ac-
count II the tariff barons are allowed
to continue extorting high prices on
nearly everything the people use, but
the Republicans are not and never
will be in q state OF absolute har-
mony" on the subject. Probably a
majority are in favor Of letting we'll
enough alone, like Senator Beverage,
who believes that the tariff is too sa-
cred a thing to be revised, unless it is
revised higher. The ring organs say
they want reform, bat from their ut
terances It is impossible 70 determine
where they really stand u they know
themselves.
No reform that will injure protected
benefclaries, or monopoly interests,
will ever be called for with absolute
harmony" in the ranks OF the party
who receives part Of the plunder for
preserving the system AS long as the
steel trust can get two prices for barb
ed wire and nearly double for other
products and the sugar trust is pro-
tected in It's enormous profits on sugar
and these and other combines are will
ing to donate to the campaign fund
OF the party that stands pat on such a
system, there can be no absolute har-
mony" The politicians interests are
combined with the trust interests and
those people. who have taken time TO
investigate, are very naturally on the
other side. SO Senator Allison's "ab-
solute harmony" program is so much
silly twaddle and should deceive no
one. IL isa weak subterfuge TO pre-
vent an extra session and 70 scare Ibe
President from calling one. One might
as well expect harmony Ia hades be-
tween the firemen and the roasted as
20 expect Il between the trust-favored
Republican politicians and the Repub-
lican masses when their interests are
so at variance.

LETTUCE A GOOD CROP.
N. A. Thompson of Sanford Talks on
Possibilities of That Crop.

Possibilities of That Crop.
Among the visitors to this city Fri
day was N. A. Thompson of Sanford. a
progressive trucker Of that section,
who was en- route home from O'Brien,
where he has been on visit to friends.
Mr.. Thompson states that the lettuce
crop around Sanford this year is fine.
and promises to yield handsomely.
He is one of the most extensive grow
ers, having six acres, which he antici-
pates will net him a thousand dollars
an acre. He is located just two miles
from Sanford, on one OF the handsom-
est truck farms in that section, and
good -naturedly declares that life is
worth living there"
In speaking OF the crops, Mr.. Thomp-
son says the lettuce is fine, and will be
second in profit to the celery although
there are many other crops planted.
"You fellows have the finest lettuce
fields in the United States" he de-
clared. There Is no use in denying
that. The Sanford growers have nice,
fine-looking lettuce, but for some rea-
son it seems thsb it will not carry as
we'll as the lettuce of Alaehua county,
as the plant will show from its condi.
tion when received in the market The
Alachua plant carries well looks well
in the market, sells well and eats well
land that is all man can ask"
Mr.. Thompson says the prospect for
a fine crop of celery in the Sanford Sec
ton is good, and the growers antici-
pate a good price. Sanford celery is
among the best in the country, and
never fails to bring the top of the mar
ket wherever it is displayed. It is not
only even and handsome, bat crisp and
delicious also.

that the rural carriers should receive a

should be allowed also vacation Of
fifteen days a year on pay and that the
method OF selecting their substitutes
should be changed so as to be identical
with the method Of choosing substi-
tutes for city carriers. Now each rural
carrier selects his own substitute and
as there is very little work for sub
stitute nnder such circumstances il is
hard to get men to act in that
capacity"
