NEOItO DISFKANCHISEMENT.
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.

In such a capacity. This county needs
nn able lawyer and n man of high

a man In Judgo Wobstor. Ho served
a portion of ono term by appointment,
and a second term by election, years

When the conductor went to collect
their fares ono was holding a nickel Iu

PARISIANS NOW SMOKE COFFEE.
Leaf of the Tree Made Into Mixture
for Nontobucco Uaera.
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
