The victory of the Alabama democra-
cy is not only one to be proud OF in
party sense, but Governor Johnston
must feel especially gratifed with the
result
Several years ago when many white
men of Alabama, like those in other
southern states. felt that they could not
find a place for needed reforms within
the democracy, and went out after
strange gods to accomplish their pur-
nose. The Constitution took the lead IN
urging them to reconsider their step,
and to rcallign themselves with the de-
mocracy of the union. Our readers may
we'll remember the criticism with which
this interference" as it was called,
with Alabama democracy was looked
unon bv certain elements in that state.
There seemed to be those in Alabama
who were willing for democracy to lie
Drostrate rather than to take that for
ward step which would re-estabish 1t
IN all of its pristine glory The Con
stitution urged Hon. Joseph T. Johnston
as the man fitted more than any other
to take the leadership in that state,
and to rescue his party, not so much
from the hands into which it had fall
had passed. MIR. Johnston was man
of business a true democrat, faithful
to the common people, ono who could
not be cajoled or Influenced, and was
lust the man to speak plainly TO plain
people.
In the bitter campaign which followed,
Mr. Johnston won and became the gov
ernor of the state. Under his leader
ship. thousand of pOpulists returned TO
the party and it was confidently prom
ised that once the white men Of Ala
bama felt assured that the principles
represented by Mr Johnston were those
which would be indOrsed by the party,
they would come back en- maSse. rms
prophecv has proven true, for on Mon
day the polls showed an utter abandon
ment of p0pulism by people who
had previously aligned themselves with
it. and the largely increased democratic
vote showed that they had returned to
the house of their fathrs to stand and
fall by the old party of Jefferson and
Jackson.
The Constitution takes this occasion
to felicitate itself upon the good work
which it has performed in Alabama pol
itics The Constitution took the stand
it did in the politics of that state
through the commission of more sub
scribegs than are to be found upon the
lists of any newspaper published in Ala
bama. That commission was of the
highest character. The people of Ala
bama are now to be congratulated that
they have become again as one man,
ready to uphold the prosperity and good
name Of their state

Tha Decline in Wheat,

Some one is calling attention to the
fact that Letters wheat deals gave q
great and desirable boost to our bal
ance. The young man picked up wheat
at Sc cents, sent it up to 81, and held
it above the dollar mark for some
months. In this he was aided very
materially by foreign conditions, such
as the failure Of the wheat crops in all
other parts of the world. The Letter
deal, therefore, seems to have been a
very good thing for everybody except
Letter and the consumers. The young
man came down from a very high pin
nace in trade, and he and his esteemed
father have been very busy for many
weeks in picking up the wrecks of
things.
The gold organs owe good deal to
young Letter and it seems to us that
they could do no less than open a sub
scription sheet for his benefit. He en-
abIed them by his Napoleonic methods
to cry "ha-ha!" to the argument which
linked the value of silver with the price
of wheat. The Constitution pointed out
the humor of the situation at the time,
and the fall Of wheat, since Letter fell,
points very clearly to long faces and
necessity of reorganizng the billbynum
party.
Letter is now enjoying the moral of
his commercial junket. He is said to
be both modest and abstenious, but his
dissipation in wheat cost his family
500. 600, 600. and wrecked a very desery-
ing charity which tha c,f"r Letter had
established in Chicago. He doomed
our balance OF trade, and ne enabled
a few farmers to get little more for
their crops But the bulk of the wheat
in which he dealt had already passed
out Of the hands of producers and was
stored in the country elevators. He
caused a great many people to 90 hum
Cry, perhaps. but it is a remarkable
fact that for the most part. the specula-
tive rise IN wheat did not extend to the
retail trade in flour and bread.
Anyhow, the reaction calls for the re-
organization Of the billhynum party,

We have a credit balance of $500, 600 900 in

than We have owed at any other time in

The Nicaragua Canal.


We trust that there is something
more than idle rumor n the announce
ment which comes from Washington to
the effect that President Mckinley, af-
ter comforting with ex-senator Warner
Miller, Of Now York president of the
Nicaragua canal commission and
Senator John r. Morgan, CT Alabama,
one Of the leading advocates Of that
project In congress, has decided to rec
ommcnd immediate legislation looking
toward the completion Of the Nicaragua
canal by the United States government.
TOO much stress can hardly be laid
upon the Importance to the worlds
commerce of this proposed waterway
connecting the gulf Of Mexico with the
Pacific ocean. and there is every reason
why it should be built and operated by
the United States government
In the first place the United States
government has more to gain from the
completion of the Nicaragua canal than
has any other government in either
hemisphere and in the second place
the interference of any other govern
ment in the matter is bound to entail
complications and embarrassments So
terway to be owned by the United States
government than it is for it to be owned
by Syndicates or corporations.
For years past thoughtful minds have
been impressed with the fact that the
completion of the Nicaragua canal was
one of the greatest needs of the world 5
commerce, and more especially Of the
commerce of the United States. Recent
events, however have served to empha-
size and und2rscOre the reasons for
prosecuting this work and to show that
the United States government must take
the initiative in the matter. If the Mic
aragua canal had been in operation at
the commencement Of the present war
things would have been greatly simpli-
fed and Captain Clark, Of the Oregon,
instead of subiecting his vessel to the
perilS and delays incident to rounding
the continent of South America, woud
have reached his destination without in
curing the least risk and without con
suming more than One-third of the time
required in making the long trip. Zap
PLY enough for us there were no dis
asters attendant upOn the voyage of the
Oregon around the continent of South
America, but while cOngratulating our
selves upon this fortunate result We
must not close our eyes to the i'm
portance of guarding ourselves against
such possible mishaps in the future.
Thus the instinct of self-preserVation
teaches lis that we must bend our ener-
gies toward the completion of the Mic
aragua canal. When this artificial
channel is opened We can station war
ships at the entrance and sniff them at
pleasure either to the Atlantic or to the
Pacific coasts as public safety may re-
uuire On commercial as we'll as on
strategic grounds there are strong rea-
sons why the Nicaragua canal should
be finished without delay. In the first
place, it will give us direct water COM
munication with oriental markets, en-

The Last of the Great Trio.

OF the great trio of intellectual giants
who, at the commencement of the pres
ent year figured in the unimpaired pos
session of their mental faculties, de-
spite the fact that all of them We're OC
tOgenarians, there now remains behind
upon the worlds stage but one, viz,
Pope Leo XIII.
Scarcely two months have elapsed
since MI Gladstone, with the burden
of nearly fOur-scorc years and ten upon
his shoulders fell peacefully asleep in
HaWarden castle, mOurned by saddened
multitude of admirers throughout the
entire globe. When the announcement
was made that death had at last affixed
its seal to the life of England's great
commoner, the mind of ChristcndOm
turned instantly toward Prince bismarck
and Pope Leo XIII. with the supcrsti-
tious fear that they would not be long
in following the lead of Mr.. Gladstone
into the realm Of shadows. SO it has
partially turned out Prince Bismarck

ruhe; while such is the enfeebled con-
dition of Pope Leo XIII that he cannot
possibly last many more months. In

in fact or imagination, can afford to be
superciliOus, or provincial, or narrow
minded in the bestowal of the blessings
OF good government. Democracy is a
form of benevoence. If we find crouch
ing at our feet those who are hungry
and naked, do We say to them, "You are
ignorant; go your way?" If we cannot
them a little? SO with the aliens and
strangers of the West Indies who have
for centuries lived under the rod of op-
preston; shall We say to them, "You
are unfit to govern yourselves; go back
to your oppressors?" Shall we not,
rather, by giving them the benefits and
blessings which may be made to flow
out to them from the fountain Of this
republics freedom, gradually win and
move them to a just apprehension of
what is noble and excellent in our in
stitutions, and stir in their hearts a
desire and an ambition to become ac-
tive participants in the great democratic
scheme?
Now, the moment has arrived when
these reflections cannot be said to be
dream or a vision; they represent no
Utopan scheme. Opportunity, coldly
and careless enough, has cast at our
feet the wrecks and hulks of oppression.
They are full of people, human beings
like ourselves, though they are aliens
and strangers. Shall we set them
adrift, or shall we summon our boasted
democracy to a test? That is the es-
sence of the new questions. We are
very surg indeed, that the great party
of Jefferson will not shrk or postpone
the issue. 1t must be met and disposed
of now to the end that other important
issues may not be obsCured.

abling US to cultivate trade relations
with the east to better advantage, and
in the second place it will shorten by
more than 10000 miles the voyages
which our vessels are now forced to
make We must not allow ourselves to
lose sight of the fact that the rapidity
of our national development entails upon
us the necessity of seeking new mar
kets for our surplus products; other
wise we are bound to suffer from stag
nation. We must be on the alert and
we will find that with the assistance of
the Nicaragua canal we can accom-
plish great strides toward cuitivating
trade relations with the east.
On account OF the proximity Of this
immediate section to the site Of the pro-
posed waterway there are peculiar ben
efts which the completion of the Mic
ragua canal holds out to the south.
While its effect will be to stimulate the
trade of the whole country generally its
effect will also be to stimulate the trade
of the south particularly. Indeed, there
is nothing which teens with greater
promise to the south than the compile
ton of the Nicaragua canal, and the
prayer of this section is that no delay
will be encountered in prosecuting the
enterprise.
We trust that President Mckinley
will not be satisfied with any mere
formal or perfunctory recOmmendouon
In the matter of bringing before con
gress the Importance of the completion
of the Nicaragua canal by the United
States government. He should lend the
full weight of his administrative rnfu-
ence toward securing such legislation as
is necessary to carry out the project up
on which SO much depends
