Hubbard Brothers A Company •'have for many year# wondered that the South permitted any eatlmate of the cotton crop to he mnde by the Ag ricultural Department.” and why “they have not ato'pped Its Issuance, ns the West did away with nny estlmut© with the total yield of wheat.” „ Others have wondered equally. Last spring, we believe It was. about the time of the planting the cotton crop, the head of the Agricultural Department talked Indlgnnnlly about “the corner of the cotton market.” and wanted something done about It. He took the side of the hears and was quite an gry because the Southern farmers were getting a llvljig price for their product. But Wilson Is a Western man, and besides the profession of politics, is supposed to be a farmer— or was one once* He Is always on the bull side of the wheat market. Ac cording to hta creed It Is a sin and a shame for the poor to have to wear cotton ahlrta made out of dear cotton, but when It comes to buying bread, th# poor be d—n. They must pay the price. % We do not see nny reason why the government should bo guessing at the cotton crop, and dept easing the mar ket, any more than airing Its fore* knowledge as to the yield of the West ern wheat crop.

There Is also utt ac knowledgement that the grandsons of the Revolutionary fathers again fought from '$$ to ’$6 for practically the earns ”ldeals"—”nml the world said you lost.” But Mayor McClellan dors not think so. He says both aides won—”%ll were victors.” To this w« do not quite agree. If both aides won * they won a new and radically different national life, for our national changed radically with the war. If we won tn this sense, we lost the "Ideals” which the fathers fought for. When the cannon ceased to roar, when Lee and Grant sheathed the red blade of w*ar. the argument was re sumed. and the contest was referred again to the ballot box. With some, what slightly varying fortunes, the conflicting standards rallied and met again every four years, but the North, I upon the whole, avcceedcd In making J substantial gains. Their TO 8END IMMIGRANTS SOUTH. An Important consultation, and one that may have far-reAchlng results, took pises in Washington on Monday last Tha passenger agents of South cm railroads and of Eastern and Western railroads having Southern connections met In the office of Immi- graton Commissioner Frank P. Har- grant to discuss with that official ways and means of inducing Immigrants to go South. in addition to Commissioner Har- gcant and his associates, the follow- Ing were present: A. II. Hanson of Chicago. C. L. Htone of Louisville. John M. Benll of Ht. Louis, W. L. Donley of Nashville. W. H. Tayloe of Washing ton. D. C.. and W. J. Craig of Wil mington. N. C., all general passenger agents, and M. V. Richards of Wash ington. P. C. W. H. Geaaner and J. W. White of Portsmouth, Va., land and Immigration agents of various roads. According to the Washington dis patch before us, “It Is proposed to di vert the tide of Immigration toward tha Nouthern States. Infusing new blood Into their Industrial and Agri cultural life, and at the aamo time re lieving New York nnd other large cit ies of the Congestion of population which Is becoming more acuta year by year.” Further Information In re gard to this project which. If success fully carried out, la expected to ”a!d partly In solving tha negro problem. Is given as followg: The conference was begun at S o'clock nd continued until late In the afternoon. An understanding was reached, and while the department can do nothing beyond making recommendation* to congrcMN, It In tht* expectation that today's meeting will h* followed by nn ugltatlon which will result In beneficial Irgtalatton. Mr fargeant outlined hla Ideas at srent length, and In the main they met with tho approval of the railroad men. who ».*- prcN*i*d their wlllIngncNM to co-uiM*ratn with the government In carrying out nuy policy that might be adopted. The plan proposed la simple, but It will require money and the consent of congress to put It Into effect. He propose* that th* gov- ernment shall, to a considerable extant, control tho movement of aliens after theli arrival In American porta, hut would do this by moral suasion rather by force. lie would hav* It so arranged that Im migrants would he sent by official* of th** government tn the sections that would pro\> mo**t HdvantiiReoiia to them.

Attention was directed to dev to the demand for foreign labor In th Onlf At ales and to the fact that a net. lino of steamers naming Immigrants t« now landing at New Orleans.

THE BASIS OF REPRESENTATION Many persona In the Northern states seem to be under th# Impression that representation In the lower branch of congress Is based. no* U P™ popula tion, but upon the number of qualified voters. Only In a limited s#nsa baa thin ever been or in it now, true. The law as It stood prior to the adoption of the fourteenth amendment, and as it la expressed In section 2, article 1, of the constitution, was as follows: "Representatives and direct taxes shall he apportioned among the several states which may be Included within this Un ion. according to their respective num bers. which shall be determined by ad ding to the whole number of free persons. Including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-ftflhs of all other persons.' In other words, representation was based upon the population of the sev eral state*, after two-fifth* of th# ne gro slaves and all of tho Indians not taxed were deducted from the total population. Thus the basis of repre sentation was, Hot the number of ths voters, but the population after the population had been slightly re duced by the exception of two classes of persons. After the war and until the adoption of the fourteenth amendment the hoi* population In most states was the baala, for the negroes were then free and there were no Indians. The fourteenth amendment later Intro duced, not an actual, hut a possible modification of this rule as follows: Theae aro the days when the turkey and the ’possum are leading “the strenuous life.” Between Tom Lawson end Mrs. Chadwick our rich fellow-citfgen# are getting skinned g-cornin' and a-gwlne! - f - When Daisy Letter get# her earl It won't take him long to make her bank roll considerably lighter.

Ix*ing This meeting In n government of filclsi's office is highly significant, means that the congestion of foreign ere In the great centers of population has developed a serious problem ami that tho need of scnttcrlng them abroad Is a pressing one. It Is likely that this aids of ths matter, rather than the Industrial upbuilding of the ftouth. la what Interests tbs govorn fttent Yet the ftouth will be bene fit ted. for It Is In great need of all tho prom Islng Immigrants that can ho secured. • demand for them In this section growing, and the passenger agents Southern railroad* |>rc*cnt at ths strong centralised government finally * now this.

The presence of a black alien nee of freedmen, the Incident of ths struggle of the *$•#. mokes ths problem a mewl complicated one. Another speaker at the banquet of tho Southern Society thought that the South nasded better leaders, "mluute men* for the exigence* of the times. There may be something In this sug gestion. but It la not all of the quea- ttouy Ns people ever faced th# prob- J loros that the Southern people :-w,- on their hands for a half century.

Under the four teenth amendment, however, there may be a reduction of the representa tion of all euch states ns abridge the voting right of their cltlxens for any other cause than "participation In re bellion or other crims." Several Northern and several Southern stataa have abridged the voting right of their cltlxens, not for 'rebellion or other crime,” but for Illiteracy, through tho adoption of educational qualifications. This provision Is as foolish na It Is unjust, and was born of the passion of the Civil War. but If It be enforced against the Routhern states that have violated It. ordinary Justice and de cency demand that It be also enforced against the Northern states which have likewise set It at naught. If theNorthern friends of Booker Washington were readers of the Houthern’ newspapers they would per haps been surprised to observe how cheerfully the said newspapers cor rected ths false report as to an appli cation for n psymaeterahlp In the army by ^he Tuakegee educator’s son who turned hut to be only sixteen years old.
