It Is partly amusing, though also somowhnt amazing, to road tho cxprcB Hlona of Botno of tho Southern con gressmen upon tho proposition to In vestigate tho basis of roprosontntlon In tliat section. Thoy scorn to con sider It no business of of tho govern mont or nny department of It, If they disfranchise half tho legal voters of that section of tho country and havo GO or CO moro representatives In con gress and tho olcctornl collego than they are entitled to by their votes cast after such disfranchisement. Tho constitution requires In effect that when tho Negro voter Is denied tho right of stiffrngo, ho shall also bo eliminated from tho count upon which representation Is based. Tho Southern Democrats will not allow tho Negroes to vote, but continue to count tho Ne groes aa part of tho voting population for purposes of roprosontntlon In con gress and In national conventions. This Is a .manifest wrong and ought to bo righted.' Congressman llellntny, of North Carollnn, In a recent speech admits that tho now consltutlons and laws of many of tho Southern states woro framed for tho express purpose of depriving Negroes of tho ballot, yet In rhetorical bombast bo protests ngnlnst nny Inquiry Into this condition of things saying: "Kor nearly a third of a contury a black cloud, tho monnco of Nty;ro domination, hnB boon hovorlng over tho South. And just nt this period when wo nro about to peacefully sot tlo tho racial question, whon pence and contontmont nro prevailing throughout tho Southland, when our peoplo had bogun to study tho grent economic questions of this country rather than pnrttsan politics, when tho sunlight of hopo had bogun to (lis porso forovor that blnek cloud and solve tho race question peacefully for ovor, wo aro atnrtlod nnd awakoned by anothor effort to Intorfor In our domestic concerns, stir up sectional strlfo and blttornooB, nnd tear the gap ing wound afresh." This sounds and roads qulto fine, but whnt nro wo to think of n mombor of congress who hna taken an oath to support tho constitution of tho United States thus protesting against oven nny Inquiry Into n notorious nnd sys tematic violation of tho consltutlon by tho Southorn Democrats 7 According to tho constitution tho No grncs havo n right to vote; If they nro not nllowod to voto It Is not only tin consltutlounl but unjust nnd unfair not only to tho Negroes but to all other parts of tho country to count the Negro as part of tho basis of represen tation. Tho South ought to huvo rep resentation according to Its number of voters; no moro ; no less. Tho Northern HepubllcnuB ilo not propose to Interfere In tho domestic roncorns or affairs of tho South, but thoy have not only tho constitution to respect nnd uphold, but tho Interests of tho North and West, nnd of their party to protect and defend. Tho Northern voter, ns matters now stand, docs not hnvo nn equal voice or power In tho affairs of tho government with tho Southern voter. Hero n man only hits one voto; there tho Southern Dem ocrat has two votes, moro or less, one for himself nnd one for tho Negro whom ho counts for purposes of representa tion but who In fact Is not allowed to voto. A MISTY SITUATION. Apparently tltoro will bo a citizens' ticket composed of Democrats, Repub licans nnd laboring men In this coun ty nnd city, to oppose tho factional Republican ticket nominated last week, Such nt least is Inferred from tho nctlon of tho Democrats nt tholr county convention hold Thursday. Whothor a ticket satisfactory to tho various elements that nro sought to bo brought together can bo nominat ed cannot bo ns yet positively predict ed. A fow facts, howover, aro ap parent and cortnln. Ono is that tho Democrats with a straight ttckot have no chance to elect anybody, whllo on a mixed ticket thoy would havo a good chanco to oloct a few candidates. An othor fact Is thnt Micro is wldo spread dissatisfaction, oxtending to thousands of Republicans ovor tho arbitrary action of tho recent Ropubllcnn county convention, which, It Is com plained, lnstoad of inviting nnd work ing for tho co-oponrtlon und harmony offended and affronted a largo frac tion perhaps almost onohalf, of tho Republicans of this city and county. Nevertheless soma vory worthy men and Republicans woro placed upon tho ticket, and aa tho campaign progress Mi the dissatisfaction may partly ills Wear At the present writing, how- over, It Is obvious and not to be deni ed or doubted that a very largo number of Republicans aro Inclined to voice and voto their protest against tho ac tion of tho Republican convention by supporting a citizens ticket, If one can bo named that will glvo these Republi cans uch recognition as their number entitles them to. Tho Republicans who would support such a ticket at the present outlook, really far out number tho Dcmocrnts, who arc comparatively few and far between. Tho situation Is thorcforo Interest ing, but Is yet Involved in a good deal of mist which it may take two or three weeks to clear up, so that tho battle ground will bo clearly defined. WANT LIBERAL MEN. While nil practicable offorts In tho direction of morality aro to bo com mended and Btippoited, we want no puritanic town hero. Tho 1005 fair Is coming on; thousands of peoplo nro coming Into Oregon, many of thorn to reside temporarily If not permanent ly In Portland; among them us among those nlrendy hero aro all class es and conditions of men and wo must have horo a cosmopolitan, liberal city, In which everybody can do nu ho pleases, so long as he pleases not to commit any positive crimo. Some restrnlnt of vlr-o Is of courso necesanry; a llttlo more re straint in certain quarters might be In order; but the law, or Its olllccrs, should not nttompt tho impossible. About such a proportion of tho peoplo will to some oxtont patronize saloons; so many will gamblo, moro or less reg ularly; and so many will Indulge In other vices; nnd attempts to prevent everybody from doing theso things nro cortnln to result In fnllure and In Injury rather than In benefit to tho city. Whllo tho Now Ago Is not In favor of a "wldo open" town In tho popular sonso of that term or to tho degreo that Scattlo Is a "wldo opon" town, for Instnnco, yet It bollovos In a wide lntltudo of personal liberty, so long ns tho laws aro not trnnsgressod by actions that nro recognized by every body as crimes that aro In their na ture of a criminal charctor. Wo aro going to bo a big city, nnd wo must expect to havo all sorts of people in It. It will bo Important next Juno to oloct n mayor and councllmon who nro broad, Hboral men, not such ns will try to make ovorybody conform to tholr possibly nnrrow vIowb and no tions, and so drive peoplo away who would spend money among our busi ness peoplo.

Wobstor, Republican candidate for County Judge, is ono of tho best cducntcd and most successful Inwyors of tho city, and It Is fortunntc for tho county and tho party whon a man like him consents to serve them In such a capacity. This county needs nn able lawyer and n man of high standing and character for County Judgo, nnd tho convention found such a man In Judgo Wobstor. Ho served a portion of ono term by appointment, and a second term by election, years ago, as circuit Judgo of tho Unit (lis trlct, comprising sovorul counties of Southern Oregon, but wishing a larger hold, ho came some years ago to Port land, where he has enjoyed a lucrative practice William Rcld, Republican candidate for juutico of tho pcaco on tho West Sldo, lias lived In Portland ton yoais, and haB becomo very favorably known. Ho has never beforo been n candidate for oftlco, nnd was scloctod for this po sltlon nt tho instnnco of mttny friends who had conio to know nnd understand his sterling qualities nnd his excellent qualifications. Mr. Rcld hns been nn attorney In many linportnnnt cases, among thorn sovornl ciibcb for borrow ers who woro bolng ovorchnrgod by forolgn building and loan associations, the courts Anally deciding theso cases In favor of his clients.

'That man will not Inst long as a street car conductor," said the observ er.

"Sim ply that he lacks the fundamental qual lllcatlon for the position. lie Is uot a harmoulzer. nnd I am ufrald he is lazy. for When the conductor went to collect their fares ono was holding a nickel Iu his hand, the other a dime. The car man gathered Iu the coins, crossed bis right arm over and gave the nickel as change to the man with the dime. The coin was still hot from the baud of his enemy, and I saw the blood rlso to tho man's cheek, und I believe be would have broken loose If be had been sure whether to throw the money In the face of the rullroad man or the bated pas senger. He lingered the nickel as If It were Infected and dually dropped It Into bis outside coat pocket to cool off.

Coffee cigarettes are the newest sort of smoke here, says the Paris corre spondent of the London Telegraph. Ihey hnve been Invented by Intending benefactors of the human race, who consider thnt nicotine Is deteriorating the modern man, and wish to cure him of the supposedly nefarious habit. It hould be explained that the new cigarettes contain not a compound made of the ground bean, as might bo imagined, but of the lenf of the tree, llue.eoarse or navy cut, or mnnlpulnat 3d after the bird's-eye method, accord ing to taste. Co fee-leaf smoking Is said (o be not only perfectly harmless, even If Indulged In to the wildest excess, but to possess the property, deemed by the Inventors an unquestionable ad vantage, of Imparting to those who practice It an Intense and lasting dis like for the flavor of tobacco. Your correspondent, while freely ad mitting that perseverance with the new weed may very possibly breed 2W taste for the old. has not made sum- elcntly prolonged experiments In coffee- smoking to pronounce from personal knowledge on the question, but can nt nil events vouch for the fact that the hygienic cigarette Is not unpleasant. It draws satisfactory, nnd can be smoked with comfort. If not with In tense delight, to the end. The scent and flavor are mil generis, though vaguely reminding oncof some Ilelglan tobnecoq. The owner of the chemist's shop where the coffee-leaf cigarettes arc to be had says that there Is quite a run upon them, and thnt he had some dllliculty In keeping nbreast with tho demnnd. The fact that the new Btnoko Is chiefly favored by women, however, hnrdly points to the conclusion thnt the most abject slaves of "my lady nlco tine" have yet entirely fulfilled the ex pectations of the Inventors by welcom ing thankfully the coffee clgnrette ns ait Instrument of deliverance from their bondage. GOV. 8. R. VAN SANT. He Gained Notoriety by Rlnputng Prince Henry on the Hack. One of the Incidents of his tour of the United States which will not soon be forgotten by Prince Henry was his meeting with Gov. Van Sunt, of Minnesota. Tho latter presented the prince with an address of wel come, on behalf of .10.000 German cit izens of St. Paul, In which they not only extended a welcome to the prince, but asked that tho latter convey to the Em peror an assur ance that these aov. va.n sa.nt. 0cnnnn Ct2eni of St. Paul ever think of their father land with the deepest love and pray to God to unite the old fatherland nnd tho new home In Arm bonds of friend ship. After the reading of the address the prince expressed his appreciation and Intimated his desire to meet the members of tho Governor's staff. This so plensed tho Governor that he slupped the prince and Invited him to step forward. Gov. Samuel R. Van Sant, who has thus come Into temporary notoriety, Is a typical westerner the scion of au Il lustrious Dutch nucestry and of revo lutionary forefathers. He was born at Rock Island, HI., In March, 1844. nnd was educutcd at Knox College, Gales- burg, III. For three years he fought mJnihTr of th. Iu the civil war as a Ninth Ulluols Cavalry and after the war was engaged In boat building on the lakes and the Mississippi river.
