Basis of Representation.

Years ago, when Henry c.
Payne was in his political glory,
the writer opposed the basis of re-
presentation in the Republican na-
tional conventions, contending that
It should be on the Republican
vote cast in each state and not on
the total vote. The rule that has
obtained since reconstruction, has
given the southern states repre-
sentation in the conventions to
which they are not Justly nor rea-
sonably entitled. Take for instance
the state of Louisiana with only
4 900 republican votes, which had
as much influence In the convention
as Wisconsin with nearly 400, 900
republican votes. 1t is all wrong
in view of the fact, that not south
srn state will elect a republican
representative to the electoral col
lege to help name a president, IN
case the party shall elect its candi-
date. The trouble has been and
still continues, that the delegates
from the south are controlled by a
few men who are usually office
holders, and money has its inf1u-
ence in fixing the sentiments of
many of the delegates. The basis
should be changed, for it is neither
fair. just nor honest and gives the
few too much power to the detrl-
ment of the many. Had the basis
in the recent Republican national
convention been on the Republican
vote in the several states, the re-
suit might have been different.

MYSTIC ALGIERS.
1t Is Not City For Women Visitors TO
Explore Alone.


Explore Alone.
No foreigner knows what the Arab
does. To few has it been given to IN
derstand what be thinks. Within his
house he is as much master in Algiers
as he is in Mecca, SO long as he avoids
the appearance of what the infidel calls
evil and SO long as he complies with
certain demands, equally foolish and
outrageous to him, in respect Of regis
tration, vaccination, sanitation and the
like.
To any one who has ever seen for a
moment behind the veil Of native life
there is something almost terrifying
about the impenetrable mystery of
these silent houses. Things happen
there and human nature assumes as
poets there Of which the western world
never dreams. I confess to being IN
easy when | see careless and ignorant
westerners-certainly when I see west
ern women-walking alone in the ma
tive quarters Of eastern towns.
Suppose one of those dark doors
should open suddenly, the stranger be
dragged quietly within and the door
shut That stranger might disappear
forever without leaving a single trace.
1t would be useless to search unless
the authorities were prepared to ran
sack every house to its most private
apartments in a whole district, and to
do that would be, If not to provoke
revolt, at least to stir up such danger
Gus unrest and hostility as to make it
impossible.
What might happen to that stranger
is best not considered. If his or her
captors SO chose there would be no
more trace than marks the spot where
Il stone has fallen into the sea. Such
an event is, of course, very unlikely,
but it has horribly happened and might
happen "-ain.-Sir Henry Norman, NJ.

A R0MANCE OF TRADE.
The Start and Rise of the Famous
krupp Gun Works.

The Start and Rise of the Famous
krupp Gun Works.
The famous cannon foundry of
krupp. at Essen, was established in
1871 by Frederick Krupp, who aban-
doned successful grocery business at
the instigation of two brothers named
Won Kechel in order to devote himself
to the manufacture Of cast steel.
The process was then unknown in
Germany, and the article itself went
under the name of English steep be-
cause it was imported from England.
Krupp had money, and the Kechels had
or pretended to have technical knowl
edge. The firm started it's operations
in an old water power mill at Altenes-
sen. The experiments of the Won
Kechels were unsuccessful. For nearly
two years they did their best, but all
their efforts to produce English steep'
failed. In the end Krupp decided to
get rid of them after having spent one
half of his fortune in experiments and
took over the management of the work
himself
For long time he had no luck, and
it was only after some years of disap-
pOintment and labor that satisfactory
metal was produced. 1t was under his
son Alfred that the business first real
ly began to flourish. Its exhibit at the
London exposition of 1851 revealed to
the world that a little known German
firm was producing iron and steel that
could not be bettered by the industry
Of any other country. Orders from the
Prussian government followed, and
the name and fortune of the firm were
made.-Philadelph Inquirer.

EE,it In Blood.

The winter palace Of the cars was
built in blood Almost every stone of
the walls and every square yard Of the
plaster lining them cost a life. Mich
olas had given the order that the pal
ace must be rebuilt in year, and
what was human life against the des-
pots will? Six thousand men We're
kept at work day and night, with the
palace heated at 80 R. to dry the walls
rapidly, while the temperature outside
was often 80 degrees below zero r.
The men could only work with ice
packs on their heads, and, experience
ing a daily change of 60 degrees, they
died by the score every day. By the
end Of the year the death roll was
some thousands, but the palace was
finished

Gov. McGovern in his last state
ment to the public, relative to his
course in the Republican national
convention said, had he been chos-
en- temporary chairman, he would
have admitted the II (bogus)
Roosevelt delegates to seats in the
convention. Jess so, Governor,
which would have nominated
Roosevelt, altho the governor was
there in the interest of r. M. La
Follette-at least, supposed to be-
1t is not only inconsistent but de-
cidedly homogeneous for Roosevelt
to choose a bandanna handkerchief
as his battle flag, when he is re-
ceiving aid from such poor laborers
as Morgan, Perkins, the Steel and
Harvesters trusts, Pinchot, Tim
Woodruff and many more of the
capitalistic poor. They certainly
are disinterested lot of patriots.
LaFollette's opinion of Roose-
welt is no doubt equaled by Ted
dy's opinion of Bob. Both are
selfish, dictatorial and ungratefuI,
willing to sacrifice friends to furth-
er their personal, political inter-
ests. The old saying, when
rogues fall out, honest men get
their Dues" might be paraphrased
by the saying, "When self-seeking
political fakirs fall out, the public
learns the true facts about them.
Bosses may come and bosses
may fall, but the Republican party
will go on as usual. The country
needs the party to save it from the
destruction of men who howl pro-
gressiveness and who would DESTROY
every safeguard in the constitution
and turn the country over to the
mob. There has not been a time
since the beginning of the Civil
war when sense and Judgment was
more needed in the administration
of government affairs than now.
Policies advocated by the so-called
progressives, mean the despoiling
of one class for another, and arouse
seltlshness and hate, which may
eventuate in revolution.
