Negroes Constitute a Demoralizing Factor In Republican Councils. It was on the whole, fortunate that the Republican national convention voted down the amendment to the report of the committee on rulea proposing a change in the bu^ls of representation In national convention In the first place the convention was not prepared to take nnap Judgment on so vital an alteration in party rulea. The delegates had not studied the question In all Its aspects, and the resolution offered by Mr. Burke, of Pennsylvania was defeated, both in the committee on resolutions and in the convention, bore decided marks of overhaste and unripeness. Mr. Burke stems to have forgotten entirely, In framing his proposal to base repre? sentation In national conventions on the vote cast for presidential electors, thft In four states of the Union?Col* ori.do, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho women have the suffrage aa well as man, and that under the terms of hla resolution a practically double reprsj* sentatlon might be given to the stater In which women vote. That would be an unjust discrimination against the other 41 States and would force the politicians In less favored com* monwealths to look with a friendly ?ye on an extension of the suffrage to women and to other possible recruits to the army of voters. Is Mr. Burke an advocate In disguise of woman suf? frage? The Idea of representation based on voting, power la within limits a reasonable one, but It Ignores the ne? cessity of proselyting and makes no concessions to the complications of our system of balances between the States, as such, and the nation. The principle of representation on? the basis of voting power can be applied only to a limited extent, and it should be carefully considered?alnce It must be accommodated to the over extension of the suffrage In some State as well as to the restriction of the suffrage In others-?before it la accepted as settled Republican pol? icy. The narrow margin by which the Burke amendment was defeated proves, however, that the Republicans of the North and West are thorough? ly dissatisfied with the manner In which the Republicans of the Oulf States are discharging their obliga? tions to the party. The Tribune has repeadly said that the Republican organisations of those States have failed In their duty and that the ac? cumulation of contests for seats from the South has become a scandal. The Oulf States are. In fact, heavily over represented In Republican conven? tions. They cast a meagre Republi? can vote and they should try to be a modest and helpful instead of a con? tentious and demoralising factor In Republican councils. Above all, they thou Id settle their quarrels at home i.nd submit to the rule of the ma? jority after the will of the majority Is clearly determined. We take It that resterday's vote la a significant notice to the Republicans of the Far South that unleaa they mend their ways and put In operation some machinery to ahow clearly the will of the majority he Republicans of the rest of the country will see to It that perform? ances like the manufacture of nearly 200 contests this year are ended. The Republican leaders of the Gulf States ought to realise that the preaent basis of representation will not be retained after 1912 If they do not mend their ways and set their houses In order.? New York Tribune. ? Liberty on Isthmus. When the marines now under or? dere to go there ahall have reached the Isthmus of Panama, there will be In all a force of oer 1,200 officers and men ready to Intervene to prevent the Intimidation of voters at the municip? al and provincial elections to be held on Tune 28. It la understood that a detachment of marines will be sta? tioned at each polling place to pre? serve order. It Is thought that this force will be sufficient for the pur? pose, but in case more men should be neded arrangements have been made for the sending of additional marines wh? are now on waiting or? ders. These dispositions have been made, It seems, largely on the report of Commissioner Blackburn, who says that the situation on the Isthmus Is more serious than was at first sup? posed, and that a revolution may be attempted no matter which candidate Im successful In the elections. Besides the marines there will be several gun? boats stationed at each end of the canal, so as to prevent any outbreak which may threaten the security of American property in the Canal xone. It may not be amiss to note that, ac? cording to Qov. Magoon'n report, there Is little likelihood of any serious dli order st the approaching elections In Cuba, which will take place on August 1. It Is thought that slight outbreak* may occur at Isolated places In the Islands after the election but no gen? eral revolutionary movement Is antic? ipated.?Bradstreets. ?Operation for piles will not be necessary If you use ManZan Pile Remedy, guaranteed.

Johnson Would Also Kult Him us a Running Mate Lincoln, Neb., June 22.?"I am In the position of the young girl whose engagement has been announced and who feels that It is becoming In her to remain quietly at home until her wedding day," said William Jennings Brye.n at Fairview this afternoon. By this Mr. Bryan plainly meant to indicate entire satisfaction with the outlook for the Denver convention. To visitors who called after he had returned )to his country home from attending services at the Second Presbyterian church in the city, Mr. Bryan talked in quite as confident a vein about the result of the election in November as about the results of the national convention three weeks from now. Chief among Mr. Bryan's visitors today was W. B. Brlnton, a district delegate to Denver from Illinois and one of the largest manufacturers of farming machinery of the country. Mr. Brlnton was a dinner guest. He came all the way from his home at Dixon, 111., to discuss with Mr. Bryan four or five of the prominent planks of the platform to be adopted, and also the questions as to the vice pres? idential nominee and the management of the campaign. He strongly urged upon the candidate the selection of David R. Francis, of Missouri, as campaign manager. Mr. Brlnton left Fairview this evening for Illinois. He was under the Impression that Mr. Bryan, though fully appreciating everything that had been said about Mr. Francis, would prefer to leave the national committee free to choose the cam? paign manager. Mr. Brlnton said Mr. Bryan manifested great Interest In the suggestion of Judge George Gray, of Delaware, as hia running mate. Would Like Gray or Johnson. "I told Mr. Bryan," said Mr. Brlnton, "that with Judge Gray In the second place on the ticket, we would sweep the country in November. To this Mr. Bryan assented with marked evidences of confidence. I told him, too, that I thought I had reason to believe that Judge Gray would ac? cept the vice presidential nomination If It should be tendered to him by the Denver convention without an unseemly struggle. My next sugges? tion to him for Vice President was Governor Johnson, of Minnesota. Mr. Bryan Intimated that next to Judge Gray, Governor Johnson would suit him best. I also asked him If his fast running mate, Abial E. Ste? venson, Illnols' grand old man, would suit and Mr. Bryan said he would, should neither Gray nor Johnson be available." Mr. Brlnton says Mr. Bryan dis? played keen gratification when in? formed that the Democrats of Illinois would probably nominate John Mitch? ell, the labor leader, as their candi? date for governor. "But as a manufacturer," said Mr. Brlnton. "I pointed out to Mr. Bryan that upon the subject of tariff re? vision we ought to put Into our dec? laration that If Intrusted with the power of passing a Democratic tariff law we would postpone the operation of the law as to certain schedules, rotably steel and Iron, until the stocks of those commodities in hand at the time the law was passed should be exhausted by their owners. Mr. Bryan agreed that this was an admir? able suggestion and he though the ?eherne could be made practica? ble." Mr. Bryan has not yet definitely decided whether, in the coming cam? paign, he will tour the country as ex? pensively as he did In his other two campaigns. He has let it be Known that in the matter he will be govern? ed largely by the wishes of his cam? paign managers. The citizens of Lincoln are Insistent upon his re? maining at home through the greater part of the campaign. They now re? cognise in him a business asset of great value. In anticipation of Mr. Bryan's remaining at home and there? by making this city the Mecca of the faithful with money enough to travel, the prominent hotel of the town is erecting a large addition ; { proa', cost.

Houston, Tex., June 22.?Nine ne? groes met death last night at the hands of a mob in the vicinity of Hemphill, in Sabine county. Today both races secured arms and the tension is such tonight that a race clash appear imminent. The dead: Jerry Evans, aged 22; Will Johnson, aged 24; Mose Spell man, aged 24; Cleveland Williams, aged 27; William Manuel, aged 25; Frank Williams, aged 22; two un? known men; Wm. Coy. The lynchings followed the killing of two white men by negroes. Two weeks ago Hugh Dean and several other white men visited a negro church and school house, where a dance was in progress, presumably in quest of liquor. During the evening Dan wa? killed and six negroes were held for the killing. At the preliminary exam? ination the evidence tended to show that the plot was fcrmed at the dance to kill Dean. Saturday night last Aaron M. Johnson, a prominent farmer, was assassinated while seated at the din? ing table with his wife and child, the bullet being fired through a window. For this crime Perry Prince a negro,! was arrested and, it is stated, confess? ed, implicating Robert Wright, a rel? ative of one of the negroes held for Dean's murder. Prince declared he was offered 15 to kill Johnson. Then followed the forming' of the mob last night, the overpowering of the jailer at Hemphill and the lynch? ing of the six negroes held for the murder of Dean. Five were hanged to the same tree, while another at? tempted to escape and was shot to death. Later In the night Wm. Coy, another negro, was shot and killed while standing at the gate of the Johnson home and this morning the bodies of two more negroes were found in the creek bottom. Wright, the negro who confessed to the kill? ing of Johnson, and the man he im? plicated were taken to Beaumont for safe keeping under guard of the mil? itary company of San Augustine. , Sabine county Is situated in the most remote part of the eastern sec? tion of the State with a lack of rail? road and telegraph facilities. About Beggars. What should be done with helpless and unfortunate beggars, Civic so? cieties consider some questions but they fail to touch that. They tell the people to pick up scraps of paper In public places and keep the front yards attractive and provide public parks for the weary and lazy. It is well to beautify a town and keep it clean and sweet and attractive. But what about a dirty, half-clad beggar sitting on the street in front of a beautiful house and begging every one that passes by? Some days one may meet two or three blind men led by little boys as they go from place to place begging. A few days ago a deformed person, dwarfish In size, was sliding along the streets begging. He was pitiable and unfortunate. But he had no business here. His county should have taken care of him. Let all such unfortunates In the county be sent to the parish home where they' will be taken care of. Let each coun? ty take care of its own poor. Of course there are many unfortunates who are unable to work and make a living. Send them to the county home. If strange beggars come in to work the town let them depart. We have real sorrow for the afflicted but let homefolks take care of their own unfortunates.?Carolina Spar? tan. BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY. Two Convicts Escape From the State Farm?Albert Miller One of Them, Later Found Drowned. Hagood, June 22.?Last week Boisy James and Albert Miller, convicts on the State farm, made their escape. The detail was being marched to the stockade after the day's work had been done when these two men made a desperate leap for liberty. The guards fired at them several times, but they were soon safe In the swamps. Every effort was made to recapture them, but without success. It was thought that both had made good their escape, but today the dead body of Miller was found In Wateree river, it Is supopsed that he was drowned while attempting to swim the river. Nothing has been heard of Boisy James. Miller was from Lancaster county and was serving a sentence of 15 years. Hoy's Life Saved. ?My little boy, four years old, had a severe attack of dysentery.

Many farmers know nothing about best varieties of corn. They will plant anything so it Is called corn. An Ideal ear of corn has a small cob, both ends almost hidden by long grains. Seventy pounds of such corn will shell 60 to 62 pounds. The ear is almost the same size ail the way and the rows are straight. Every farmer should Improve his seed if he has a good kind. Begin on your seed lot when the corn begins to tassel. Pull out the tassels of all imperfect stalks. After the ear forms select only those that are well set and not too high from the ground. Mark them In some way. When corn Is mature go through and gather the marked ears. Then after taking off the shucks ex? amine thoroughly and take only the ears that are best. In that way you may get enough to plant another seed lot. Two or three years of such selection will give you a uniform va? riety of corn. I The chief "pageant" In England this summer is to be given at Win? chester, which for its size is perhaps the most historic city in the country. It is described at a "national" page? ant, and its aim will be to show through the history of the town that of the nation, in the sense of Its grad? ual welding into one people under one faith.
