The good people of Alabama take great
pride in the fact that one of our battle
ships has been named after their state.
In recent issue the Montgomery Adver-
tiser says: 'The launching of the proud
battleship that is to bear the name of
our state was comparatively private, Ow-
ing to the exigencies of the situation,
but 1t was none the less an event of
great importance. From all accounts of
the vessel, it is to be one of the best in
the American navy, and able to cope
with any ship of any nation. While
Secretary Herbert was at the head Of the
navy department the name Of this battle
ship was selected and it met with the
prompt approval Of the entire country.
1t was regarded as good thing to do.
So Alabama, through her distinguished
son, had place in the naval list of the
United States, and the capital city of the
state has the same high honor. May
great and glorious careers be the fortune
OF these and other American vessels"

CURRENT COMMENT.

II Mr.. Bryan wants to figure in the war
for private reasons, why not do it as a
private? Chicago Times-Herald.
OF course 1t is immaterial to Col. Bry-
an whether he goes to Cuba or the Phil
ippines. Both are on silver basis
Chicago Post.
1t is not the silver question that occu-
pies Mr.. Bryan's thoughts now, but how
to harness himself to that sword.-De-
troit Free Press, Gold Dem.).
The free silver senators would be de-
lighted to pay the soldiers and sailors i'll
Mexican dollars, or, what is the same
thing, in American dollars not kept at
the gold level. Anything to debase the
currency is the cry of these jingoes for
silver.-St. Louis GlObe-DemOcfat.
The pOpOcratic war upon the thrifty
is being waged quite as vigorously as in
1897. The proposed war revenue tax
upon corporations is directed against
every man, woman and child who has a
deposit in a savings bank. Why they
should be made to pay tribute when the
individual merchant, manufacturer or
business man is exempted, is pOpO-
cratic puzzle most difficult to sOlve.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
William j. Bryan wanted to be colonel
of a Nebraska regiment of volunteers.
Then he was candidate for the captaincy
of the company raised at Lincoln, his
home. Now he will not take 1t because
the choice was not unanimous. William

Dewey has been elected an honorary
member of the democratic club of New
York "because he is democrat" and
the famous hero has also been elected a
member of the Union League club Of
Chicago "because even if he is a demo-
crat the platform of the club is broad
enough to take him in" Politics do not
count in this fight. 1t seems by the way
that Admiral Dewey's politics are un-
known. Senator Allison stated the other
day that he is a republican. But no
matter; there is no question about his
being an American.-lowa State

There were striking manifestations OF
the patriotic spirit during presentation
OF Shenandoah" at a Chicago theater a
few nights ago. All the seats for the
performance were sold long before the
house opened and hundreds were turned
away unable to obtain admission. When
at the end of the third act "The Star
Spangled Banner" was sung, pandemOn-
ium reigned. The entire audience rose
and joined in the chorus. At the same
time the curtain was rung up, and fill
ing the stage completely were all of the
company and the soldiers grouped in the
background, each waving flag. 1t was
truly an inspiring sight. The big organ
together with a full orchestra accom-
panying the singers, was impressive.
At the conclusion of the song, the people
remained standing, cheering wildly,
waving handkerchiefs and tossing their
hats in the air.
