STANDPATTERS HARD HIT.
Staadpat RepabKcaa poUUdaas receircd a ira
lyzina; blow ia thelflrxt day'a sessioa of tbe reci
procity convention. IThe treat faraUBs Tote of the
Northwest and tbe Central West, without whose sup
port the Republican party cannot exist, was power
fully represented, while many Eastern manufactur
ers, for whose Fpecla! benefit the Dinrley act was
passed, were there ty -declare that tbe prohibitive
tariff has proved a disappointment.
But tbe heaviest blow dealt the standpatters was
the revolt of Illinois. Joseph G. Cannon, who was
Speaker of the Firty-cfghth Congress and wants to
be Speaker of the Flffr-alnth. was aot there, to be
sure, but Senator Shelby M. Cnlhim. who has been
claimed as a priaee of standpatters, was, and his
remarks give a severe) shock to the standpatters.
He aot only declared himself ia favor of reciprocity
as a means of holding land extending oar foreign
markets, but if reciprocity treaties cannot be ratified
be has another makeshift which be calk "maximum
and minimum tariff. lie even uses the words "re
vising where necary the tariff: words above all
others hateful to standpatters, and positively trea
sonable to Dinsleyistn.
Senator Culloiii. mar ins the end of his fourth
term in the Senate, desires election to a fifth. He
has been mixing much among the people during the
last few weeks and knows tbe Republican sentiment
of his State as well as any man in it. His utterances
may be taken to mean that the Republican party of
Illinois favors moditieatioa of Dingleyism. His
statement that the Ve-t i-j almost unanimously In
favor of reciprocity Eastern Senators are almost
solidly against it. reveals a division along sectional
lines that promises trouble for the Republican party
Ic Congress at no distant day.
Governor Cbarle S. Deiieen would lie glad to
serve Illinois in the Senate in Cullom's stead, and is
credited with playing to that end a lone hand most
skillfully. He. al-o. Is in tolerably close touch with
Republican sentiment in the State of lllinoK He
made It a point to s-teak before the reciprocity con
vention and to declare in favor of the "enactment
nf laws and the negotiation of treaties that will
belp us to keep the foreign trade we already have
and to get more.
The utterances of these two men voice the com
mands of Illinois Republicans. If former Seaker
Cannon does not come out of the ranks of the stand
patters he will Ik? as clearly a relwl against his
party In his own State as former Speaker Hender
son was against the Republican iurty of Iowa when
he refused re-election on the Iowa platform of hos
tility to every tariff schedule that elH-ltcrs a mo
nopoly. Nebraska and Minnesota are States that the Re
publican party cannot afford to offend or to lose.
Roth were represented ia the reciprocity convention,
one by it Governor and the other by a Senator.
These States find that they are not pntvtcd by the
Dlngley tariff and demand that their interests !e no
longer sacrificed by it.
What are the standpatters going to do about it";
Will they give way to a demand tltat ! irresistible
In the West and strong in commercial centers of the
Kut. or will they stand and be run over? If reci
procity and tariff revision Republicans do not sub
due or run over thetu, the Democratic party in the
congressional elections of next year certainly wIlL

DECI.INlNr: BIRTH RATE.
There is nothing startling in the Census Bureau's
llsitnery that then- has liven a "ierlsient decline
in tli- birth rate in the Fnitvd Stali since 1S"- A
leeliuing birth rate is apt to accompany increasing
density .f to;Hllatioti.
The struggle for exist enei lecmes liardor and
the iji)Mrtii!iiti's of the average individual grow less
is the masses increase. As long as 1,'in-Ie Sam was j
iu-Ii euoimh to give tis all a farm and there was.
mote tliaxi work euough for every able-btidied man.
the children might come as fast as they pleavil.
With illiiiinishing opportunities and narrower means
t sitmrting them, they are not so wehsmie.
That the birth rate lioth among blacks and whites
at the South is higher than in the North may be
accounted f"r by the facts that the population is
taanansjli, Btls
catvritat as k. lax a has t

fact, he talks broadly aboat a tract fct aaasic
Hke a weald-be atoaopolist.
The g. . p. wm be foolish If it deesa't speedtly

Warner bat secured for him tbe hamate past essce
he sought, tho party woaU have avoided tnedlstarb-

MISTAKEN ZEAL.
Though Kaasas failetl In tbe effort lo produce a
brayless jackass by court injunction. California la
bopeftd of tbe crowless rooster.
A petltloB is circulating la Los Aageles for aa
ordinance requiring every male bird of tbe chicken
family within tbe city limits to submit to tbe open
tlon of laryagotomy, whereby his voice shall be
stilled forever.
The petition will hardly be signed unanimoasly.
There are. to lie sure, many early risers In Loa
Angeles who like' better to be wakened by cock
crow than by alarm clock, aad others, solicitors
for the poultry Industry, a bo are convinced that
no self -esteeming ben wonld care to keep company
with a rooster that cannot voice her praises from
the highest knoll in tbe barnyard.
-
The discovery of a few cases of yellow fever la
the low country close to New Orleans need cause I
no alarm In tbe uplands farther away. Doubtless I
such sporadic cases bav accompanied every fever
epidemic without spreading tbe iafectioa. Their dis
covery now speaks well for the vigilance of health
officers and the efficiency of the tight which the Ma
rine Hospital Service is making. Whether as a re
sult of these sanitary efforts or because of tbe mild
form of the disease, tbe ratio of deaths to cases con
tinues low and tbe hope of bringlBg the epidemic
under control is well founded.
.
The Interstate Commerce Commission's report
showing 2D7.073 miles or railroad in the United
States must include all sidings, switches, double
track reduced to single, and so forth. Tbe actual
length of our railroads is something lesn than 210,000
miles, which is about two-fifths the entire railroad
mileage of the world. It Is 0,00t) more miles than
all Enmiie bas, about four times tbe mileage of all
Asia and seven tiroes that of Soath America. Sorely
America lieats creation for traveling and swapping
products.
The yellow peril Is making trouble In the Trans
tnississippi Congress at Portland. The notion on tbe
Facitie Coa-t is still strong that, though Chinese
trade is a good thing, we don't want to let down tbe
bars for the admission of Chinamen in order to
get it.

Is still too much of a Republican to suggest a com
plete transfer of administration, lie would have
the party hold to the offlcV. but would have better
men in the or5o. It pain him to see the people

The grt.tter part of the workmen are Jamaica negroes
and of all the men on the face of the earth, from Rat
lin's Bay to the South Pole, they are the most lasy. or
nery, languid lot I ever mil. Why. good South Carolina
nt groes could handle ten of them. They get 3 cents an
hour In tin" or "monkey money." This tin Is. of
course., -Mor. or equivalent to half the value of United
Stales' coin. It i the tiniest coin on earth, and is worth
a cent and a half of our money. It is silver and about
the s-ixe of the end of a lead pencil. The laborers are
called silver men. while the white Government staff are
calk-d the gold men. Tbe negroes work eight hours a
day. with two hours oft for dinner. They are talking of
putting in several thousand men. In groups or different
nationalities, and trying them out to see which can do
the most work. They will then settle on the nationality

The graves of thousands of them lino the ditch to-day,
but the survivors are the shremdest busbies men In the
district. Many of them are very rich. The negroes are
about th freshest lot you ever encountered. X you tell
them to do anything they are Just as likely as not to
stop for twenty minutes and Jaw back. If you lay your
band on thi-ci you nre fined ST5.
The police down there are Jamaica negroes, to a lirge
extent, and that makes It very bad. We had a Southern
er with us for a while, and one day. when he swatted a
frcrti coon who talked lack, one or thew colored police
gentlemen, about the .vise of a sparrow; came up and
trld to arrt him. The Southerner dumped him Into six
fet of yellow mud. and the policeman resigned.

One day my assistant, a white man. was trying to lift
one of the stei I mils out or tho way. He put a gang of
twelve mn on It with crowbars, and they could not
move It. He turned to me and almost tearfully said,
"iMi't that the limit? I believe you and I could lift that
thing."
"I gues. we could." I said, and we took hold of tho
end of it and hiked It up on the car. My assistant turned
around to Iiis languid gang and said:
"Aren't you men ahamed or yourselvc s to see two of
&s an wnai ice wnoie lot or you roiled to tlo?"
That's all right, l-w." said the spokesman, "go ahead
and lift the other end up now." We were too overcome
for words. The only thing about these Jamaicans that Is
at all worthy Is the fact that tliey are comparatively
honet. It j- a rather anomalous characteristic, but
neertbe-s! there are few thefts.
