Washington, Nov. 25.-Thore will
certainly be renewed agitation at
I his session of (,mirss of t le propo.
sition advanced last sossion to cut
down the represenitation iml the 11ous
of the Southern States which dis
franchise the negro. It will be ro
membred that Mr. Olmsted of Penn
sylvania and Mr. Crumpacker of In
diana started a crusade last Congress
to accomplish that purpose, but
which failed through oppo'ition from
high Republican sotirces.
It is oxpectod the subject will be
reopened inmediately after Congress
assembles. It would probably be
saying to much too state that itmme
diate success is hoped for by even
the most sanguine advocates of the
legis'ation. They believe, however,
they will be able to draw public at
tention to the alleged over represen
tat ion of the Southern States in such
way as to possibly bring results in
the future.
Some recent figures promulgated
by the census bureau will be used in
the propaganda. ''hey relate to the
number of males of vting ago in the
Southern States, as counted by the
census enunerators. These figuires
are compared with tle uiuber of
Republica 1 contltd inl those
States, and de(lu "tiits drawn which
would t-v't11 to i(dieate that some
negro v+tes are overlooked in the
deal.
The l(pl) ican campaign com
mittee is lik(ly, it is said, to encour
age the Imovemnent. The Congress.
ional campaign coummittee for a long
time has complained of the handicap
it bears at. the beginning of every
Congressional camiaign through the
over-repress itation of the Southern
States. The situation will be even
worse in the future, as nuder the
new apport i >nment act the Southern
States actually gain six more repro
resentatives in Congress. Texas gets
three, Mississippi one, Louisiana one
and Florida one.
The importance of the next Con
gressional campaign has been fre
(uontly pointed out, and it is being
more fully realized overy day that
there will be a desperate struggle
between the parties for the control
of the next HLouse. Aside therefore,
from the constitutional principles
involved, which Mr. Ceu nmpacker and
-r. Olmated say inispires t heir mo
-ives, political qst.ious may have
-important bearing upon the move
_ment.
The census figures make 'interest
ing reading for those concerned in
the contemplated proceedings. All
the Southern States making a show
ing in the census figures reflecting
,either upon the interest the negro
takes in his franchise or possibly
the interest someone else takes in
-his franchise.
wHAT ELEoTION RtETURINs sHiow.
-Arkansas contains a voting negro
voting population of 87,157. In
-1898, in the Congressional electionr,
the total Republican vote counted in
that State was 2,706. It is true
-.that in some of the districts there
were no Republican candidates for
SCongress; in the circumstances they
Sdid not consider it wvorth whbile to
run for the office.
--in Alabama in 1900 there were
181,471 male negroes of voting age.
In the congressional elections of
1898 the Republican vote counted in
all the districts aggregated 15,654.
Alabama's new constitution disf ran
chisos a portion of the negro popula
tion, the illiterates. Th le consus re
trns show, however, that there were
718,188 literate negroes in the State

(leorgia was another State whero
Republican candidates for Congress
were omitted from the ticket in some
of the dist ricts-sevon, in fact. There
were 223,073 negroes of voting age
in that State, and the total Ropubli
can vote counted wa' 0,728.
Louisiana's total mnal negro pop
ulation of voting age was 147,348.
The total lepublican vote counted
was 2,754. Louisianna has an (d
ucational qualification, and the cen
sus declares that 57,450 negroes
were literates.
Mississippi counted 1,227 Repub
lican votes, with a voting negro pop
ulation of 197,930. There were
92,183 literates among them.
It is diflicult to estimate the sit
uation in North Carolina, owing to
the existence of a large white Re
publican population, and the fact
that the Populist, who are mainly
white men, voted the Republican
ticket in many instances. T here
were 127,114 negroes of voting age
in the State, and the total vote cast
in opposition to the Democratic can
didates for Congress was 122,048.
South Carolina contains 152,8t00
male negroes entitled to vote.. The
total R spublican vote counted for
Congress in 1898 was 2,299.
Virginia has 140,122 male negroes
of voting age. The total Republi
can vote for Congress counted in
1898 was 40,893.
Shortly before Congress adjourned
last session a resolution passed the
House calling upon the director of
the census for statistics of the negro
voting population of the Southerii
States. The figures will be supplied
as soon as Congress meets, and will
be refeered to the committee on the
census or one of the committees on
ele-^tion, probably the one of which
N. . Olmsted may be chairman.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Ono third
of the represenativos and over on
half of the members of the senate
have already roached Washington.
Those members of congress who have
been here for several weeks but now
the hotels show the usual congress
crowd and job hunters seem to know
it. With the Republican majority of
38 votes in the house and a safe maj
ority in the senate those policies which
receive the administration's support
will trot right through both houses
after they have been well groomed in
the committees.
The reciprocity spirit seems to be
revived and it is predicted that before
many months this give and take rule
will be more firmly established. Son
ator Hale of Maine is one that does
not think that all the talk about re
ciprocity amounts to much. The
friends of the ship subsidy bill say
that that measure will become a law
(luring this session as the bill has
been entirely rewritton as well as the
objotionable part that related to
foreign boats and several other minor
featntes have been stricken out. '1'he
year preceding congressional elec
tions are seldom very promotive of
new issues as the congresmen goner
ally are too busy working on the river
and harbor and special and private
bills. Just so a speach or t wo can be
printed and mailed to the boys the
!vorago congressman will be satisfied
n knowing that he has indirectly
saved the c 'uutry.
Five members of the President's
abinet heard the reading of the

'very able."
There will be no specific mention
)f ship subsidies but the principles of
hat measure may be discussed. It
s also claimed that the President will
iot recommond any particular regis
ation, but this is only a surmise.

Washington, Nov. 26.--A self sus
tiiuing service, brought, about by the
yearly increase of the postal revenues
resultmng from general extensiotn of
rural free delivnry is the contclusion
reached by First Assistant Postmas
ter General Wmn. Johnson in his an
nual report.
Of the gross postai revenues of t ho
United States for the past fi-cal year
$7-1,295,39 )4 caime from 80( dolivery
cities. The remaining 3,00 preosi
dential postoflioes yielded $16,063,
252, while the 72,479 fourth class
postotlicos produced $18,913,519.
Mr. Johnson says the fact that the
p1,stal Services in the largest cities is
practically perfect is the explanation
of why the annual percontage of in
croeaise in the rovenue of the free do
livory postoflices should be throo
timos greator than in tho smaller
cities and five timec's as large as that,
of the fourth class oflices. As rural
froo delivery roaches out into the
country, giving equal facilties with
out regard to locality, he says it. int
creases the revenues at a rate at least.
equal to that maintaiued in the free
delivery cities, where, during the
past five years, it has averaged 8 per
cent. At the end of the present. fis.
cal year 8,600 rural routei will he in
successful operation, 6,000 being in
oIroct by Dloconber 2. The latter
figure represents just. 50 years ago.
The inoxiblo policy is antnoutced of
avoiding hereafter maintenanco of
unnocessary postollicos and super
lluous star routes contemporanoonsly
with rural free delivery routes. On
July 1 last the force of 4,301 rural
carriors was serving 2,840,6144 people
at a fraction over 75 cents por capita,
and on Dlecomber 2 next, 4,000,000
of the rural population will be on
joying free delivery. Every estab
lishmetit of a route, the report says,
is followed promptly by a steady in
crease iii the volaun ..f mail, both
delivorel and collected.
The city froo delivery now em
braces 866 cities and towns, includ
ing four in the now insular possess
ions, all these employing an army of
16,389 uniformed who collect and
carry the mails two or more times
each working day to 32,000,00 pa
trons. The total cost per annum to
tihe doepartmnent for this service is 50
cents per capita.
