John Hay.

In the sudden death OF John Hay,
Secretary OF State, the country loses
the services Of man whose place
will be more difficult to fill than that
of any other man in the United States.
Trained in diplomatic service from
the days of Lincoln, his word had
come to be regarded in the diplomatic
circles of the world as unquestiOned
authority. Just now when there are
so many intricate and delicate foreign
questions, growing out of the war in
the Orient, confronting the Govern
ment, and his wide experience and
sound judgment were needed as never
before.

CONVENTION REPRESENTA-

Just now the main political topic
in the political press of the state is
the matter of representation In the
next republican state convention.
Yet the matter ought to be settled
in three minutes after the State
Central Committee get together.
If party departs from principles
of justice and equity in convention
representation, the party always
suffers in the end. The republican
party of this state is now suffering
from the travesty on equal repre-
sentation that has been in vogue for
some time in this state. Evecy
republican is entitled to equal rep
resentation in nominating con-
yention. The courts have decided
''that man who declares he
believes in the principles of the
republican party and supported a
mqJority of the regular nominees at
the last preceding election is a
republican.
1t has been the custom of all
political parties ever since the con-
vention system was established to
base the representation to presi-
Dental convention upon the number
of senators and congressman to
which a state is entitled. This is
manifestly inequitable and unfair.
Several times in the history of the
republican party states that did not
furnish single electoral vote
controlled the National conventions
and dictated the nominee. 1t is a
farce that Texas, always solidly
democratic, should have twice as
much power in a republican ma
tional convention than Minnesota,
always solidly republican.
In state conventions it has always
been the custom to base the repre-
sentation on the vote for State
officers. This rule has been
changed during the last four or five
campaigns and the representation
has been based on the presidential
vote. In addition five delegates at
large were given to each county.
AS a result of this political
chicanery republican in one county
often had ten times as much con-
vention representation as republic
cans in other counties.
This system was not devised to
give fair representation to repub-
licans, but to make an unfair
representation possible. 1t was not
put in force to carry out the will of
the republican party but to defeat
that will. The republican party OF
the state reaped the fruits of this
political dishonesty by meeting de-
feat in the contest for the most
important state office in the LAST
election. 1t is time now to get
back to honest representation, cut
out the five delegates at large for
each county. Base the number of
delegates in each county on the
average vote cast for all republican
candidates, allow one delegate at
large to each county. In word
all the republican party in this
state needs TO do 20 be successful
along the whole line, is to be
honest

HAPPILY Welded:

Miss Nellie Jacobs, former edi-
tor of the Herman Enterprise for
many years, who devoted the prin.
cipal part of her newspaper career
to making life burden to us and
our friends has sold her sheet and
"done gone" and got married. She
could write more disagreeable truths
in a more disagreeable way than
any editor who ever pushed Faber.
Bnt just to show we harbor no
malice we trust ''peace like river
may attend her way. That her
future may be as bright as maiden
tance's first dream of conubial bliss.
That if squalls do arise to interfere
with the course of her bark in its
voyage over the sea of matrimony
they may be mere infantile ones.
We are glad she is married. We
extend to her our heartfelt and
heartiest congratulations, aud to hel
husband we extend our sinceres,
considerations.

RAGE.
No. ?

The sin OF corruptlng or sup
pressing suffragists is an unpardon-
able sin, yet such has been the
debauchery of politics, that, at
least in some localities, it has come
to be regarded as commendable in
stead of disreputable. Men who
are honest as sunshine in business
matters will steal an election with
out turning a hair.
Men who would scOrn to pur-
chase testimony to save themselves
from the scatfold will purchase
votes by the thousands. Men who
would not spank their babies to
make them do thing contrary to
their wishes will cOerce sovereign
voters; and men whose word is
their bond in ordinary matters will
perjure themselves like pirates to
get an office, wear fre-proof gloves
for a few weeks afterwards, coddle
their consciences with the idea that
others are as bad as themselves,
regal their vanity on the adulaiion
sycophants pay too high positions,
and finally arrive at the conclusion
that such action instead of being
damnable is comendable, and fancy
that under the robes of assumed
craftsmanship they can hide from
God and man the rags of corruption
they have wrapped around their
political carcasses.
Men have reached the United
States Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, Governors chair, State
observation-disclosures any position
of trust, honor and emolument,
through the lanes of bribery and
corruption, the highways of coer-
cion or the streets Of robbery, and
among certain of our people the
public sense of honor has become so
blunted that instead of being held
up to scorn they deserve, these men
are pointed out as great political
generals: but seldom indeed are
they known as statesmen and still
more seldom do they represent the
majority or plurality of individual
opinion. A man who holds a posi-
ton by means of fraud, force or
theft is always minority reprcsen-
tative. A may who has majority
of voters back of him does not
have TO buy, force or steal his way
into place. Money sometimes de-
feats votes but such victory is
dead sea fruit, because it is stamped
with public disfavor. Money can
buy a statesman's place but it can't
make the buyer statesman. Men
may steal positions but they
can't steal brains. Defraudino
another out of his rights does no,
strengthen the intellect of the de-
frauder. Political deviltry and
political ability never travel hanG
in hand so that these men who
travel the ram horn route to Officia
positions do little damage. In tn,
first place they do not posses,
knowledge or skill sufficient to &C
complish Legislative iniquity, in tn,
second place, when they attempt t,
travel themselves or lead others i,
crooked Legislative paths they ar
scourged back into the straight wa,
by the lash of puclic opinion. Tn
hide of corruption never grows s.
thick that it cannot be penetrate,
