Congressman Stokes has proved a
working member aod baa already
accomplished a great deal for bis
constituents The establishment of
free delivery of mail along alt stsr
routes in tbe State is bis moat im?
portant achievement, but it is such
things as seonriug msil boxes for
this citj tbat benefit the people
u'rectiy and make them feel that they
have a congressman who does mure
than draw a salary Congressman
Stokes is a worker, and he bas done
more real good fur bis district than
many others who make more speeches
and cut a bigger figure as talkers in
congress
Tbe penitentiary scandal will be
thrashed over when the Legislature
meets, and tbere will be an opportun*
ity afforded for reforms io tbe man?
agement of that institution It is
wrong for the Stste to operate a big
cotton farm with convict labor when
tbe public roads require so much
work to put them into good condi?
tion. Tbe excellent results accom?
plished by tbo county cbsin gangs
supply all tbe argument necessary io
support of tbe plan to build pub
lio roads with convict labor. Tbe
Legislstuie csn do nothing more
beneficial to tbe State than to evolve
some plao to abolish the State cotton
farm aud utilise tbe cooviots in build
ing good roads.
Our attention bas beeu called to
the need of a first class and well
equipped book aod ladder truck in
tbe fire department of this city. We
csn do oo better tbsn to quote tbe
words of our correspondent .
"I do not care to go into any
nowfpaper discussion of tbe needs of]
tbe fir* department, bot I do wish, ss
always, to see tbe department kept
op. It ia a crying need now that a
book aod ladder track be provided ,
Time after time this baa been de
monetrsted. and some good work bss
been impossible oo aoooont of this
lack in times past. Not so expeosive
or elaborate machine is needed, but
beyond question a better ooe than is
oow io to aervioe is necessary. Tbe
oitj it fixing op other branches of
tbe department, and I assure you
none more needs remedying tbao tbia
Think it over, aod give oa a lift "
This is oonoieo. dear cot and cov?
ers tbe ground folly. We do not see
where we oould add anything, for
Iba facta ao well atated are koowo to
all who are 10 aoywise familiar with
the fire department, aod oo one de
niea tbat a book and ladder track ia
needed aod baa been Deeded for sev?
eral yeara. We pass tbe matter oo to
tbo Oily Connoil, with tbe hope that
tbe finsoces of tbe city will enable
tbat body to provide the oeeded
truck at ao esrly day.

Anti-British Mass Meeting Ad?
dressed by Prominent Men.
New York, Deo. 81 ?Toe United
Irish sooietios of New York and vicinity
filled the Academy of Music tonight at
a maas meeting called to express syu:pa
thy with tho Boers und opposition to
England in coosequenoe of tbe South
African war. Senator Mason, of illi
oois, Congressman Solzer, Congressman
Cummings, of Now \ork, aod others
addressed tho meeting
Justice l'i zgerald, of tbe supreme
court, presided After calling tb ? meet?
ing to order he said : 1 If is a great
honor to be asked to speak to this great
audieooe tonight and to join io express
iog our deep indignation et the ur.justi
fiable war now being waged by Groat
Britaio upoo the people of the Trans
vaal aod to give utteraooe to our semi
meotH of deep admiration for tho gal?
lant s'and beiog made by tho ombat
tied farmers of Sooth Afrioa io defeoss
of their property, their lives, their
liberties.
"The British colonial tffioe seems to
have, op to this point, made a mis'ake
io calculating the fighting qualities of
these farmers. It is said tbat tbe
oolonial secretary will send more troops
to Afrioa. Perhaps when tbe yeomen
fox Looters, aod by the gracious per?
mission of the qooeo, the Vaiie of Con
naught, go to tbe relief of tho besieged
troops, England's cop may be again
filled with bitterness.
"The great heart df tho American
people goes out to tbe people of tho
Transvaal und the Oraoge Free State
They are fighting for tbe same priooi
pies, they are agaiost the same sover
eigo aod red ooated soldiers that fought
os a oeotury ago, aod would fight us
tomorrow if they dsred aod thought it
would benefit them."
Coogreesmso Sulxer spoke next. He
said:
"I am opposed to so Anglo-American
alliance, expressed or implied,especially
whso its objeot is tbe advancement of
imperialism, tbe msreb of armies, tbe
dowofali of rcpoblios, tbe destruction of
free institutions, tbe enslavement of
man aod the perpetuity of the power of
kiogs
"Tbe American people should ory
oot agaiost the'seorifioe of principle,
this surrender of rights, before it is too
late. Eoglaod never wee and never
will be onr troe aod lastiog frieod
Yon eaonot make monarchy harmonize
with democracy. Their principles are
antagonistic, aod aesootatioo is incom?
patible.
"This re tba great repwblic?for a
oantury it baa been tbe beaeoo light of
tbe world Io the p'ueeet Anglo
American crisis, why sboold it seoretly
aid Great Britaio? Sboold it oot
rather ba true to ita traditions aod
opsoly sympathise with tba Boers?
Look about you, aay friends, and
aeswer which it is doiog T It seems
tbe very elters of onr liberties are beiog
betrayed by meo io high pleoes who
ere aworo to gnsrd tbem. Io this
fight for borne role against Koglish
tyraooy to be troe to ourselves our
sympathy most aod sboold be with the
Boers
"The president sboold have offered
the friendly offices of this country to
preveot this oruel war He sboold
have respooded to ibe great aod
mighty petition for peeee pressoted to
bim at tbe begiroiog. Re sboold bave
eeted on tbe findings, tbe eooolusions
sod tbe judgmeot of Tbe Hague peace
ooofereoee. He ooeld beve dooe so
oooststeotiy.
"Bet ths frieods of free institutions
sboold not lose bops?we should oot
despair eveo though the White House
seems to be eoveloped io the atmos?
phere of ao Eoglisb fog. It is oot too
late for this repoblio to assert itself io
behalf of lopublioao institutions It is
oot ton late for oa to demaod ao
honorable peaoe io the interest of
humanity, Christianity sod civiliza?
tion. "
When Coogressmeo Solzer io the
course of his speech brought iu the
name of Chamberlain, tbe crowd
miogled, groans with tbe*r hisses
Stumping, waviog Boer fUgs, whistling
aod cheers, with oooasiooal remarks,
interrupted the speeoh all the way
! through
Coogresemao Amos J. Cummiogs
told of tbo history of British aggression
to Sooth Afrioa beginning with tho
I taking of tbe Cape Colooy in trust,
when Napoleon took Holland, and the
refussl to give tt back to tbe Dutch
aftor Napoleon's defeat. "She hated
Napoleon," said he, "but was willing
to pick op tho sorsps tbat he left."
Ho referred to Chamberlain'* recent
chaogo of front aod added : ' Cham?
berlain is a liar, aod that is oot patting
it a bit too stroog, for three years ago
be isid ths same tbiogs that I havs
told you tonight.
Congressman Cummings blamed
Ambassador Cboate, among others, for
tbe existiog situation of affairs, as far
as tbe position of tbe United States is
cooesroed.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, Jan 1.?That queer
things occur io politics everybody
knows, but nobody ever expected to
see republican members of congress
trying to get democratic members to
aseiftt them in resisting what they
call an underhanded attack on the
protective tariff system by the repub
lican administration Yet that is
precisely what is being done Re
publicans representing sections which
produce articles affected by the sev
eral reciprocity treaties, negotiated
under the Dingley tariff law, which
require tbe approval of t^e house as
well as tbe ratification of the senate,
are trying to get democrats to help
them defeat the treaties
Mr McKinley pulled off his New
Year reception without a scrap be
tweeu those wbo have been fussing
for weeks over whether Gen Miies
or Admiral Dewey should be given
precedence Gen Miles was given
precedence under the rule which has
always been followed.
There is another row on between
Gen Miles and Adj Gen Corbin It
was started by tbe recommendation
of Gen Miles tbat this year's West
Point class be graduated in February
instead of June, in order that the
graduate's, instead of civil appointees,
might fill the numerous vacancies in
second lieutenancies in the regular
army For some reason, Gen Corbin
bitterly antagonizes this recommend?
ation?of course, be, as adjutant
general of tbe army, has no personal
interest in the appointment of civil?
ians to be second lieutenants io the
regular army. Secretary Root ie
said to lean towards Corbin a little,
although be has not actwally decided
tbe question yet.
White no one in Washington
seriously believes the republicsn
oaucus will dsre to indorse tbe bill
of Representative Crompacker, o
Indiana, which proposes to reduce
the congressional representation and
the electoral votes of a number of
southern states. Representative Wil?
son, of South Carolina, who is an
able constitutional lawyer, baa
gathered a number of legal decisions
showing that congress baa no consti
tutional authority to do what Mr
Crumpacker's bill proposes, even if
it bad tbe inclination, which be
doubts Mr Wilson quotes several
decisions of tbe United States su?
preme court, one of which contains
tbe following plain langusge : "The
right to vote is a privilege regulated
by municipal law, and inhering ex
ciusively in the state " He also
points out tbst tbe right to vote has
been denied by a large number of
states For instance, an educational
qualification is required by Maine,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, South
Carolins, Mississippi, Louisaoa, Col
orado and Wyoming, while the pay?
ment of certain taxes ia required
before citizens can vote by Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
South Catolina, Georgia, Florida.
Misaissipi, Tennessee and Nevada
Mr Wilson says tbe educational
qualification imposed by Massachu?
setts debars a larger number of citi?
zens than are effected by the cousti
tutinn or laws of any southern state,
and that be feels sure the best senti?
ment of the couutry, regardless of
politics, sustains the solution which
the suffrage laws of South Carolina
and other southern states hsve se
cured to the peopie of intelligence of
those states
Secretary Gage's expressed will?
ingness to answer any questions Con?
gress msy ask him, concerning his
choice of a New York bank to re
ceive on deposit all money collected
from internal revenue taxes?about
$1,000,000 a day?and to distri?
bute the same to banks in all parts
of tbo country, ss msy be ordered by
the secretary of the treasury, is likely
to be put to the test very soon, as
there are several things sbout this
transaction which many senators and
representatives would like very much
to know For instance, even among
those who concede the legal right of
the secretary of the treasury to give
the free use of government money to
some banks and not to others, which
j many do not, there is curiosity to
know why a bank controlled by one
of the biggest and worst of tbe
trusts?the Standard Oil Company
was msde the distributor of these
fuuds, and bow long that bank is al
lowed to retain the money before dis
tributing it to the other favored banks,
and whether those banks are given
the free use of the money for any
noecified time. It was thip same New
York bank that DOOgbt the old (Jus
torn Boose -/r^perty in New York,
i and while questions are in order,
Secretary Gage wiM be asked to ex
plain the legal jugglery in delaying
the transfer of title from the govern
ment to the purchaser, by wnich the
bank has escaped the payment of
city taxes amounting to more than
?120,000 IJobs ilanna was right
when he said that the talk about sec?
retary Gage resigning was bosh The
interests which put Mr. Gage in the
cabinet have moiework for him to do
for their profit, and nobody known it
any belter than Boss Ilanna Mr
Gage could not resign, even if he
really wished to, without queering
hiinntlf with those interests
