Bismarck Of Jewish Descent.

Few people are aware that Prince
Bismarck is OF Hebrew descent. He
derives his Jewish blood from his
mother, whose NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Menken, one OF the favorite bureau
Gratis OF Frederick the Great--was
OF Hebrew parentage. Although Of
late it has evidently appeared p olitic
to the prince to counte nance the
anti.Semtic movement both in
Germany and Austria, yet while in
Office he invariably showed himself
a good friend to the Jewish nation
and chose the Hebrew banker at
Berlin, Baron Won Bleichroeder, as a
most trusted copfidant. Indeed, in
those days he was so we'll disposed
toward the Jews that he even dis
cussed the advisability OF marrying
his sons to Jew-sses on the ground
that it would bring money into the
family again and likewise "improv-
both morally and physically the
Bismarck breed."- International Re-

Death of Hector D. Lane.

A very useful and valuable life went out
when Hector Davis Lane died. He left the
practice of law to decote ell his time and
energies to agricultural interests and to the
subject of farming in every possible direc-
ton. He became commissioner of agricul-
ture in 1891 and he was also a prominent
member of the Farmers alliance. At the
time of his death he was the president of
the Southern otton CGrowers' association,
and 1t is believed the work he did in connec-
ton with that association led to the stroke
of paralysis that resulted in his untimely
death.
The farmers of the entire cotton belt have
lost valuable adviser and friend. He gave
over twenty of the most active years of his
life to subjects connected with agriculture.
He worked early and late, in the lecture
field and in print, to bring about better
condition of affairs on southern farms. The
work he did will accrue to the planters of
the south, and the regret is that 1t could
not have been continued many years longer;
for Mr. Lane was not so years old when he
died,

The Cuban Resolutions,

The resolutions adopted include the Davis
amendment, which reads as follows:
That the United States hereby disclaims
any disposition or intention to exercise
sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over
said island, except for the pacification
thereof; and assert its determination when
that is accomplished to leave the govern
ment and control of the island to its peo-
pie.
This amendment is the next best thing to
a distinct recognition of the republic of
Cuba. The republican machine had deter
mined that distinct recognition of the re-
public should not be inserted in the instruc-
tions of congress to the president, and the
senate either had to yield its preference
and convictions, or still farther prolong a
struggle, which was already one week old.
The senate's patriotism triumphed over it's
Judgment. 1t is perhaps the best result
that was attainable; and when the time
comes ito leave the government and con-
troll of the island to it's people," the people
of this country can be trusted to SEE that
Gen. Gomez and his brave comrades are
rightly and properly treated, and they will
also see that the time for such action is
not indefinitely postponed. The patriots of
Cuba can trust without danger the honest
people of this country. They need MOI fear
the advisers that now surround the presi-
dent. These will, 1t is to be hoped, be dis
persed during the war that Is near at hand
The president himself means we'll. His
wicked advisers will be eliminated, and the
patriots of Cuba will yet be treated with
fairness and justice. Millions of people
have become their friends and supporters
in the course of the contest now ended.

GOVERNOR JOHNSTON.

From the Admission Hot-Blast
The unanimity with which the admins
tration of Governor Jos. F. Johnston has
been indorsed by the democratic county
conventions of the state has been pleasing
to his friends and the resolutions passed
by the different conventions have been of
such a nature that Governor Johnston him.
self cannot fail to appreciate them and to
feel grateful to his friends for their in
dorsement of the work which he has done
for the state during the past two years
and for the renewal of their expire ssions
of confidence and esteem. No one has been
surprised that Governor Johnston's ad-
ministration should have received such a
unanimous Endorsement; for 1t has been
clean and able, and in good results for the
state has been the equal of that of any OF
his predecessors; and for its business
management has been superior to any the
state has had since the war between the
states Alabama Is to be congratulated
that Governor Johnston is to be renomi-
mated without opposition, and his nominal
ton means his election by larger ma
jority than has been given to any candi-
date for governor in this state for num-
Der of years.

Duties for All.

The policy of the country is now determ-
ined, and It is the duty of all to do what
they can to promote the national cause. in
order that the struggle may be as brief
and as decisive as the case admits Of The
decks must be cleared for action. Every
body should and assuredly will lend a help
ing hand.
1t Is the glory of the coming war that
the people are absolutely an unit in it's sup
port The toryism that hindered and we'll
nigh defeated the struggle for independence
is wanting now, and so is the federalism
that stood out in 1872 and the whigsm that
was so lukewarm in the Mexican war.
There are no tories or federalists or wings
when the Maine is to be avenged and the
crafty, cruel Spaniard is to be forever
driven from America. The cause for which
the country goes to war Is absolutely
oppressed as well as for national honor.
and all can well be proud to be jingoes in
such a war Freedom and humanity are
intermingled with just desire to avenge
the Maine. No country ever had worthier
or more unselfish cause
All this goes to unite the people as they
the country. Let every man do his duty
in this hour, and the strife will soon be
ended. Let every man In his place give
the government all possible support. The
men who are to do the fighting will fight
better if they know the people at homo
stand ready to assist them, and applaud
their efforts. There is no one who cannot do
something to help his country In times of
war. Public confidence is to be fostered
and unity of action encouraged. Party ran
cor and strife should be given a vacation.
Spain is to be whipped first, and then po-
ltical and partisan affairs can be resumed.
Women, too, will find much to do in these
days of war The comfort of the soldiers
and sailors, the care of the wounded, the
increased needs of charity in various direc-
tons, will all call for the help that the
women of the land can render. There Will
be work and duties for all, and all should
work with a view of making the war short
| and successful and with view, too, to the
| promotion of a feeling of brotherhood that
| will thoroughly unite all sections and all
states, thus securing a moral victory that
will outrank in results even the physical
Victories that the gallant soldiers and SAIL
ors of the states will surely win.

The State Convention.

The war crisis, acute as 1t is, will scarce
ly deprive the convention of the democratic
party of the state of public interest There
is much of public good tied up in the action
of the convention that meets today-so
much that not even war with Spain can
eclipse 1T altogether.
A convention perhaps never met under
more suspicious circumstances Under the
excellent administration of Governor John
ston, the people of the state have come to
have confidence in the democratic party,
and the convention meets today knowing
that 1t represents the people of the state.
1t will not be torn by faction, or its time
frittered away in dissensions. Practically
the convention stands for all classes and all
interests in the state.
This brings to its councils grave RESPONSE
bilities connected with the welfare of near
ly two millions of people, engaged in varied
industries. There are broad questions and
deep reforms to be considered There are
up. The members of the convention act
today for the people in their highest capaci-
ty when they define the course of the demo-
cratic party upon living questions during
the next two years in the state. The re-
sponsibility is in no sense light; and the
various counties have met it by sending
to the convention men of good judgment
and high character.
Auo- ic he of
the convention will meet the just expecta-
tions of the people and of the party. The
fullest possible reports of its proceedings
will be found in these columns, and no
ing circle of readers all the features and
points of interest connected with the con-
vention.

A NEW USE
FOUND FOR STAG
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Chicago iron worker has found a new
use for Stag, a waste product In the manu-
be in operation at Hammond, Ind. an es-
Establishment for the manufacture of car
bottle, which is combination of carbide,
calcium, aluminium and silicon. Carbolite
will produce ethylene gas, which is an i'm
provement on acetylene.
The manufacture of carbolite will revolu-
tionize the manufacture of iron by simply
thereby reducing the iron to the state of
by-product Ethylene gas will cost 60 per
cent. less than acetylene and will produce
a much better light.
On January 4, 1898, the United States pa
tent office issued to Herman L. Hartenstein
three patents covering processes for util-
izing waste products Of blast furnaces.
BY methods protected by these patents it
is proposed to make an extraordinary re-
duction in the cost of iron and artificial
light.
It is known that about 10 900 pounds of
substance is wasted in the blast furnace
for every 1000 pounds of pig iron produced.
BY using ore containing 50 per cent of me-
tallic iron the substances consumed and
produced would be about as follows.
CONSUMPTION. PRODUCTION.
1900 pounds iron ore. 1000 pounds pig iron.
LOO pounls limestone. $500 pounds stag.
1900 pounds coke. 1900 pounds gas.
$500 pounds air.
