The South to be Deprived of their Rights Tho Uto election hat given the Republican party couiploto control of tho Fodeial govorniuont in both tho excoutivo ml legislative do part wont*. The Sou'hern States did not oontributo to tho Republican victory and thoroforo ncod not expootany favors. On tho contrary, there is reason to bilicvo that a determined c ffort will bo uiado to punish this sootion by roduoing us political power. Vice Onairtnan Paynoof tho National oommitteo, knows what ho is talking about whon ho throatons tho South with a reduction of rei rcBcntation in tho llouso and iu tho Kleotoral oollego. Wo (\ toto his words given out in a lato rovicw: "Ihopotho oloction will open up a now ora in the South. At tho prosont tho South is noiihor Democratic nor I) l-1: * ivcpuouoan. it is a government oT fraud. Li ia simply anarchy. I do not boliovo that Cougross should longor permit tho disfrauohisouiont of any of its citizens by a Southern Stato with out rtduoing tho representation of tho Stato iu Congress proportionately. .

In Mr. l'ayno s vooabulary anarchy simply moans opposition to tho lljpublioan party. If ho desires to build uj tho Republican party in the Southern States ho should know that his proposed method is not tho way to aocomplish it, for it would only revivo sectional animosity and oontirm tho Southern Statos in opposition to tho Uopublioau party whioh has boon tho authorof all tho mcasuros that havo proved so injurious to tho welfaro of tho Smth. However, thoro is somo comfort in tho thought that all Ropub lioansaro not so hostilo to tho South as Mr. Payno.

The sale is at the stato oapitqj, and there is a large orowd of persons interested - in the sales in attondaneo. The timber ranges in value from $1.50 to $5 a thousand, and muoh of it is of excellent quality. The greater portion of tho timber stands on school lands, though a considerable amount is in isolated tracts. Aooording to tho conservative estimato of values mado by the state auditor, tho salo should bring in betwocn $200,000 and $250,000, Many people worry beoause they bel:? .li i . j! mi "no miojr iiwvc uoarii uiBeaao. ino ohances aro that their hearts are all right but their stomtohs aro unablo to digest food.

The Party Neither Moribund Nor Crippled. Bryan a Great Leader in the Face of Defeat. Tho Democratic) party has bcon boatcu, badly bcaton on tho olcotoral voto and in a lessor degree on tho popular voto. Novcrtho'css it rouiains truo, as in 18%, that a ohango of votes in ocrtain Statos oiual to but 1 per oont. of tho Demooratio total would havo sufficed to give it a uiajnity of tho electoral voto. Wo aro indobtod to tho ultra Republican New York Sun for this calculation: Tho Sun says: If 75.0H0 citizens who voted for Mo Kinley in cortain Sta'os of tho union had voted instead for Bryan, Mi K'nlcy would have been defeated and Bryan eleetcd. Tho tablo below montiona 12 States with tho olcotoral votes belonging to th? in and their sevoral pluralities tor Mlvinloyaud Roosovolt, as unotli jially ascertained or as estimated Thursday. Changes in tho figures by later returns will not greatly afreet tho goncral prop osition: Kleo- llepublioan tr ral Voto Plurality. Delaware 3 5,000 I ndiana 15 27 400 Kansas 10 25 out) Maryland 8 14 300 Nebraska 8 5 000 North Dakota. 3 8 000 Oregon 4 14 00ft South Dakota 4 10 000 Utah. 3 4,000 Washington 4 5,000 West Virginia (? 15,000 Wyoming 3 3 000 71 135 700 Thus leaving a margin of 14,000 for possible increaso in tho aggregate Repulioan plurality in thoso States, it is ovidont that tho ohango of 75,000 votes would havo rovorscd tho result in all 12 of thorn. That is to say, if 75 000 oiti zona who votod for MeKinlnv bail voted for Bryan, 71 olcotoral irotos now in tho McKmloy column would havo gitn" in tho Bryan oolumn, thus: McKinley's olcotoral veto as it is . . 292 Eleotoral voto of thceo 12 Statos . . 71 McKinloy's olcotoral voto as it would havo boon 221 Necessary to a ohoioo 224 On tho other hand: Bryan'B electoral voto as it is 155 Eleotoral voto of theso 12 Statos.. . 71 Brayan'a olootoral vote as it would havo been 220 Necessary to a otnioo 224 Tho ohango of 75,000 votes, therefore, properly distributed in tho 12 States in tho list, would havo given to Bryan two moro than tho nccossary number of eleotoral vote; his olcotoral ma jority over McKinloy wouM havo been 5. It wouM seem that a party whioh oan poll 7,000,000 votes and oomo as noar to viotory as this is neither moribund nor crippled, and is under no obligation to aocopt tho diotation of tho small minority of its formor numbers who oast their votes against it and defeated it. Tho Sun itself rcoogoizes tho strongth of tho Domooratio demonstration and voices a warning similar to that given by Tho Stato on tho morning of tho election. It says: In tho fir-it plaoe, the power of tho political revolution startod in 1890 by Bryan and continued with little, if any approoiablo diminution in tho campaign of 1900, must not be minimizod. At both olootions ho was dofoatod by a majority of tho olcotoral votos of sreat proportions, jot at both ho received of popular votes a much larger volurno than had over been oast for a Demo oratio oandidato for president; and the greater roroentago of them given to Mr. Mi Kinloy on both occasions was only about 5 per oont. Tho politioal foroo represented by Bryanism is therefore too tremendous to bo overlooked in any consideration of tho politioal future, more especially of tho future of tho Deinooratio party. Eitimating that tho wholo number of votes pollod at this oleotion was 15 millions, something liko soven millions of them wore oast for Bryan. In tho Siato of New York, out of an aggregate for both MoKinley and Br>an of about one milli. n and a ha f votes, the plurality over Bryan was less than 10 per oont. and his plurality over MoKinley in this city was moro than 27,000, A oandidato who reoeivos support so numerous, iu spito of a groat revolt against him in his oWn party, oannot bo removed from politioal consideration simply beoause of his defeat, but mu9t rather bo regarded seiiously as the rcprcsontativo of a popular fooling of ominous strength and pervasiveness. * ? * It is not improbable, it seems rather to bo probablo, that if tho elements in tho Democratic party whioh represent its conservatism and its national spirit should regain tho oontrol of its organisation, the burning political eontiment of which Bryanism has beon tho ex pression would bo driven off in violent revolt to aot by itself as an independ entpolitioal movement. In truth, tho genesis of Bryan as a political foioowas the oonstqienoo of tho demonstration of tho strength of such a political movemont in the oampaign of 1892, when Mr. Cloveland was elected for tho ^ " # rr mm?mam JVV1I . C.. THURSDAY, NOV Hooond tiiuo. In that oanvass tho Populists polio 1 moro than ono million votes, exhibiting a stcngth which alarmed both of tho great parties. Brum's scheme was to prevent this political division by fusing Populism with Democracy, and ho Bueoocdcd in it so far that in tbo canvass o( 18% Populism disappeared practically as an independent movoment. His veto in crowed ovor t&at for Mr. Clovoland in 1892 by almost exaotlv tho am runt of iho Populist voto in 1892 and tie kept it in tho lato clootion. Nor is it now destroyed by his defeat. Any conservative domination of tho Detnooratio party in tho in xt presidential campaign would bo suro to revivo it in 1904 and it might again fi .d in llryan its leader, for his campaign ju^t eon eluded was in spirit wholly Populistio. Th<* political revolution which began in 1890 and continued with increasing momentum in tho eanvat-s just olos-ed seemed, ,thorcforo. to indioato a readjustment of poliiioal relations which intelligent men of both tho Kopulioan and Dcmooratio parties will bo com pjllol to r-cognize ai nccoss irily per ttyRW!WuY.nnl ti0Al ?) and vigor Into any weak' r-v rir b? run-down man or womans ;u'all( t?<> cents.

Dr. Edward Ross, hoad professor in tho department of economies and sociology at Stanford University, has resigned. Tho resignation caused quito a sensation in university oirolcs, where Dr. R >hs was extremely popular. In his formal letter of resignation ho inintimated that ho was bomg forocd out of tho university by Mrs. Stanford, who had taken cxoc|Hion to statomonts mado by him in bis public address on sooiologioal and coonmio questions, llo further said that Mrs. Stanf.^r.l ??? prompted by certain powerful porsons and commercial intorosts in San Franoi-co? Sovcral of tho faculty have takon sides wiih Dr. Ross. I)r.

There is not tho slightest evidenoo that ho is a 'martyr to freedom of spoeoh.' Nor is thoro any reason to bolieve that his withdrawal has boon duo to any prossure of capital or an v other einistor infl tonco. I know that Mrs. Stanford's decision was rcaohed only after long and earnest consideration, and that its motivo was tho wolfaro of tho university and that alono." Supplementing his former uttoranoos upon tho subj rot of i'rof. Ross's dismissal, Dr. Howard addrossod his class in history today upon tho matter.

One of the Organs Comet Out and Boldly Oacl ires the Republican Position as to Tiusts. ThomoiL unblushing repudiation of oarapaiga promises and oonfossion of party hypocrisy is undo by tho Now York Sun, tho metropolitan organ of tho Kcpuhlioan party, in tho following: It has boon made ovidont by tho oleotion that tho pooplo of this oountry, besides beiug determined to maintain their tinano al honor in good times and in had, aro very tired of tho howla of cranks against oorporato enterprise and of visionary crying of oommunistio Utopias. Such was not tho oaso four years ago. Dospito tho senso of relief that was experienced ovor tho dofeat of Bryan at that time, thoughtful men rcaliz :d perfectly well that praotioalljr tho same contest would havo to be wag'd four years later, and that not until it could bo dem instratod to poliI il'innv ill*! I ll? ltru?n (lion.ina <]:<) ?>?v #?/? ? vuuviit n uiu uui appeal to tho hearts of thopcoplo could Bryan's hold bo looped upon tho great political party that ho had soizod. Heptthlloans knew this as well as Democrats, and over since tho last election tho leaders of tho Republican party havo tuado all sorta of efforts to plaeato and allay what thoy feared wan the liryanism latent in tho country by various antitrust laws and other logialativo measures which would havo tho appearance of mocting half way that hostility tooorporato and buiinosa entcrpriao which it was fcaroi Mr. Hryau had evoked. Nov this is changed. There is little fear that there will bo more anti-trust la vs at tho coming session of Congress or at tho one uixt after it, and it is probablo, so far as our own Legislature is concerned, that not only will no suoh laws bo passed or oven introduced, but that some hasty measures of tho sort that have found their way to the statuto booka will ho amended, if not ropcaled. The net result of it all is a goooral confidence in the health and Bolidity of business conditions in this oountry suoh as has not boon known in many, many yoars. It is of a doopor and stronger naturo than the wild buoyanoa of tho oponing days of 1893; it is tha settled and sercno oonviotion that, for a timo in tho futuro beyond whioh merchants oan not forsoo (hero is to bo aa end to doinagocio attaok upon business." Tho Charleston Post, whioh supported McKinloy in tho lato olootion, says: "Horo is an opon acknowledgment that tho anti trust legislation promoted by tho Hopublioans was moro sham, onaot ed for oampaign purposos, not for roincding an ovil, and also a declaration that the promises of tho Republican platform regarding the restriction of tho trusts will not bo kopt. Tho sub* stanoo of the statomont ia not at all a matter of surpriao to thoae who understand tho Kopublioan party's oharaotor, but tho oonfoasion ia in a way a picoo of honoHty that wo soarooly had ezpcotcd.
