LET no Democrat forget the impor-
lance of the issues embraced in the
present contest. Let him not be mis-
led by the personal pleas of a political
enemy who regards in the interest of
his party nothing except the end he
aims at-the defeat of Democracy and
the success of Plutocracy. The same
Republican who turns up his eyes in
holy horror at the alleged short-com-
ings of Democratic candidate will
without hesitation and with fervor adj
vocate and vote for Republican NOM
inee whose prominent characteristics
are a denunciation of the ten command
ments. The fight for 1900 is now Oh,
and no Democrat ought to shut his
eyes to its importance, nor allow him
self by personal pique or plea to
scratch the ticket selected by his fell,
low Democrats. The editor of this
paper has more than once voted for

THE Hon. Pat Dyer is making
speeches around about in behalf of the
Republican ticket. The Hon. Pat and
his Republican friends used to have an
easier way of securing their desires.
When the fool people, in the halcyon
Republican days gone by, refused to
vote as they were asked TO, a Count
Rodman, and courts to back him up,
were at hand to change the result.
When Col. Switzler beat the Hon. Pat
for Congress, so far as the votes went,
the Hon. Pat was not cast down; he
Rodmaned his competitor into defeat
and went his way rejoicing with his
certificate of election in an inside
pocket. And the Hon. Pat was but
type of his kind who now have the
efrontery to ask Democrats to help
them return to those good old methods.

The Lenqth of the War.

The volunteers of Alabama and of the
other states have enlisted ''for two years
or during the war;" but this does not mean
that they are to be, or can be, held longer
than two years. 1t does mean that they
may be discharged at any time within two
years. Modern wars are as rule short
and decisive, and there are no reasons for
thinking the war with Spain will be ex-
ceptional. so far as military operations are
concerned When Cuba is occupied the
work of the soldiers will be accomplished,
and experts will be much mistaken If
ninety days after the rainy season Is ended
does not suffice to drive the Spaniard out
of America and restore peace to Cuba. The
navy will take care of the rest. The vol
unteers should come marching home by or
before Christmas.
But 1t is claimed that Spain will adopt
on this side of it, and sending out swift
cruisers to modest American ports, and
privateers to destroy American commerce.
1t is claimed that this will go on until the
fleets of this country cross the sea, de-
stroying the Spanish fleets, bombarding
Spanish towns, and thoroughly humiliating
Spanish power.
This may be the course of events at sea,
but none of the tedious programme involves
the use Of soldiers. Under no circumstances
will United States troops, other than resu-
lars be landed outside of Cuba. The 49,
900 volunteers will probably be drilled and
disciplined and hardened at Chickamauga
or other southern camps, and then short
campaign in Cuba will wind up their serv-
ice--always provided that the blockade and
the insurgents do not bring Blanco to terms
in the meanwhile. The insurgents are at
their best in point of health during the
rainy season.

The Aqe-HeraId's News Service

The Age-Herald is pleased to note the
appreciation of its unexcelied news service
shown by the people of Alabama. Its cir
culation is going up nrapid daily bounds.
Hundreds of a few months ago are sup
plemented by thousands of today. Orders
received yesterday for additional daily
copies from individual subscribers and news
dealers aggregate twelve hundred.
The Age-HeraId's- news service Is second
to no newspaper in the land 1t not only
has the full leased wire Geographic service
of the Associated Press, but this is supple
mented by the full special service Of the
New York Journal, which is transmitted at
once by special wire from the Journal
office in New York to The Age-Herald.
The Age-Herald is the only newspaper in all
the south which gets this service. furnished
to The Age Herald exclusively by special
arrangements with Mr.. w. R. Hearst. The
Journal has three swift dispatch boats
cruising with the United States fleet in
Cuban waters with such correspondents
aboard as Alfred Henry Lewis, Carl Decker
and a half dozen others Of reputation.
These yachts convey the news to the near
est cable or telegraph station daily and
always hours before competitors. Thus
The Age Herald can and will always give
the news first.
The Journal and Age-Herald likewise
have a special correspondent accompanying
the United States war vessels from Hong
Kong to Manila, as well as special corre-
spondents in all the great news centers of
the world.
The Age-Herald promises its readers to
be first In war as 1t has been first in peace.
As an auxiliary service, The Age-Herald
has a special correspondent of it's own in
Washington, and will send a member of its
local staff with the Alabama state troops to
Cuba or to whatever point they go.

shows that 1t was very productive tax,
and the country is much Weather than it
was thirty-five years ago. With such a
tax in operation there would be little need
of the vexatious taxes upon chewing gum,
telephone messages and a hundred other
like things that Ding1eyism is trying to
infiict upon the country
Let the senate take the position, and hold
to 1t. No income tax. then no bonds-and
leave the rest to the people that are push
ing the Dingley programme. The emer-
gency is not nearly SO pressing as Mr..
Mark Hanna and Mr. Stephen B. Elkins
would have the country consider it. The
war is not a great war. The credit of the
country is sound. There is no need of
haste. The senate can protect the mass
of the people from unfair and vexatious
taxation? VIII it do it?

NEW UNIFORMS FOR THE ARMY.

st. Louis, April 2S.-The Globe Democrat
publishes the following from it's Washing
ton correspondent:

will receive the first of the 10000 new uni
forms for the army on duty in the tropics.
They are made of material entirely new

an extremely fine quality of canvas of a
dark brown hue; in fact just the color of
Colorado claro cigar. 1t Is very light in
weight, strong and flexible.
For hundred years the British army in
India experimental with one material and
another, seeking something cool, strong and
enduring, out of which they could make

pitched upon this fabric the United States
has just adopted for hot weather uniform,

the British army on field service In Africa,
India and In Egypt The coats are a trife
shorter than those now worn in the army.
The uniforms for officers and men are made
alike. Except in shoulder straps there Is
no distinction. A soft campaign hat Of the
same color goes with the uniforms. Our
army will look very business-lfke in it's

and wooden socks, with the broad-soled
army SHOE will complete the outfit of the
Cuban American army. All the troops will
be supplied with this outfit as fast as it can
be made up.

Electoral Provisions Sustained.

The supreme court of the United States
recently heard and decided case that in
volved the constitutionality of the Missis-
sippi elections. The case was that of a
negro who had been tried and convicted in
Mississippi. His lawyers carried his case
to the United States supreme court on the
broad ground that he was not tried by his
peers-that negroes are as a rule unable to
vote in Mississippi, and cannot, therefore,
sit on juries. The negro's lawyers claimed,
in other words, that he was tried by preju-
diced people.
The opinion of the supreme court is
lengthy, but the purport of it is that the
dereliction of certain administrative off,
GERS cannot be considered the dereliction of
the constitution and laws of the state.
"Besides," said the court, 1.-THE operation
of the constitution and laws is not limited
by their language or effects to one race.
They reach weak and vicious white men,
as well as weak and vicious black men, and
whatever is sinister in their intention, IL
anything, can be prevented, by both races,
by the exertion of that duty which volun-
tarily pays taxes and refrains from crime.
1t cannot be said, therefore, that the denial
of the equal protection of the laws arises
primarily from the constitution and laws of
Mississippi, nor is there any sufficient allie
cation of an evil and discriminating adj
ministration of them"
Tho 20 CO ipuolved the Dayment of a DOll
tax more than it did the operation of the
understanding clause; but it is plain that
the principles stated would cover any rea-
sonable provision for the reform of the
electorate of state. The field of permis-
sible action under the fourteenth amend
ment of the federal constitution has been
materially enlarged, and it is pretty we'll
settled that any just electoral reform will
be upheld in the federal courts.
Judge McKenna, who wrote the decision
of the court, thus stated the issue before
the court: 1.-The constitution of Mississip-
pi does not on its face discriminate be-
tween the races, and 1t has not been shown
that it's actual administration is evil, but
only that evil is possible under it." This
decision practically establishes the validity
of the restrictive provisions Of the Mis-
sissppi constitution; but the New Orleans
Times-Democrat thinks it does not make
the suffrage clause of the Louisiana con-
sttution valid, because, while the former
is applicable to whites and blacks alike,
the latter relates to a period when the
blacks were not citizens-in 1868. The
voters of that year and their descendants
are made voters under the famous fifth
section of the Louisiana constitution.

might start westward; that caused FtIdi-
nand and his consort 10 move their throne
chairs up to the very walls of the Moorish
strongholds that the example might incite
the chivalrous bravery of their followers:
that caused the houses of ITrena and dc
Leon to pledge their estates that the Moors
might be driven from the Alhambra. The
memory of that period, the most romantic
and brilliant in Spanish history, when bali
the world was theirs, never dies in their
breasts, and 1t more than anything else
would sustain them in a war of nations
This pride of race. however. is not what
they would fight for. Out of the ruins of
their past greatness have risen beautiful
monuments-Madrid, the capital city, with
its palaces and its 470,00O0OO worshipers of
the ancient throne; Barcelona, with its
quarter of a million mostly eager for war
and blindto all but its romance; Malaga,
with its 100000 who daily have the remains
of Moors to teach them what maner of
fighters were their ancestors; Cartagena,
Cadiz, Valencia, Seville and Granada where
memory stops, and the grotesques and ara
besques of the great Moorish temple lift
one out of the nineteenth century and
carry one back to the time when war in
Spain meant honor, valor and glory.

Letter and Armour
From the Philadelphia Times.

fTOIH tHe Ai,iiN''
''All this talk about the millions which
young Joe Letter and his father made in
wheat is sheer nonsense" said n gentleman
yesterday, in position to SPEAK with accu
rate knowledge .'That lie made fair
profit is, of course, admitted, but let NE
tell you tire sum in the aggregate Is much
less than one million of dollars. Another
point on which the general public has been
misled: Letter did not best Armour In
the wheat fight On the contrary, Armour
made a great deal more out of his deals
with the so-caled young wheat king than
did Letter. He sold the latter wheat which
had been bought at a very much lower
figure. In fact, Armour made a profit on
every transaction with the Letters except
one lot of 10000 bushels. In addition, he
received over $1,000 a day on Letter wheat
carried in his storage warehouses and ele-
vatorS, and this more than made up any
loss he may have incurred on the 50O,000
bushel transaction referred to. Armour is
a wonderful man." continued the speaker,
1.-THE most wonderful in business sense
the world has ever known. Just think of a
man handling, in single year, 21O,e09,O0O
of business Armour did that last year,
his aggregate receipts having been, in
round numbers, $210 0O0 Let us, for
moment, consider these figures. The great
Pennsylvania railroad system, with its
thousands of miles of track, earned last
year something like $135,OOOOOO. The
ceipts of the Standard Oil company were
still larger, probably $15O,0O0000. Yet here
Is a single individual whose business
ceeded either Of these, having been S5,0O0,-
600 greater than the gross earnings OF all
the Pennsylvania railroads lines, and
$50, 10000 in excess of the earnings of the
Standard Oil company. Armour is money
maker. Like Russell Sage, who once said
of himself that his pleasure was in maxi
ing money, the same some other people
found in buying yachts, works of art, etc.,
Armour lives to make money. 1t is his
pleasure-his only pleasure in fact. And
he is making it,

From the Atlanta Journal.
Whenever the government is under the
necessity of laying in large supplies in
a short time there is always danger Of
combinations to swindle.
1t appears that game of this sort has
recently been attempted by mule dealers
in the west The quartermaster general
advertised for 1900 mules Bids were re-
ceived from st. Louis, Cincinnati and
Kansas City.
The quartermaster general was astound-
ed when he read these bids. He has as
certained that the prices of first-class
mules in the cities named had ranged just
at the time of his advertisement from $40
to $50. The government was asked to pay
from $3.50 to $163 The uniformity of the in
creased prices in the bids convinced the
quartermaster general that a combination
had been made by the men who control the
mule trade in the west. After scoring the
bidders severely for their 'unpatriotic con-
duct" the quartermaster general indfg-
nantly rejected all their offers and adver-
tised in the south for mules. 1t will be
fortunate for the government IL all who
have the making of contracts for war sup
niles shall be as watchful and as strict in
the performance of their duty as was the
ouartermaster general in this instance.
Look out for the fellows who are schem-
ing to swindle the government in war con-
tracts.

Political Generals.

Thus far no signs have been seen of an
indication to place at the heads Of brigades
or divisions of the volunteer army other
than men of military training and expert
ence The man with political or social
.'pull' may be heard from later, but at
present he is not conspicuous. AS the war
will undoubtedly be brief, and must be of
small scope, the political or social general
may be readily avoided. He is not nee
essary evil in the present war His per-
sistence may safely be disregarded. The
country is supporting the government as
1t never did before and no man or set of
men need be bought. The party magnate
and the 400 of this town or that should
be relegated to the common level when
commissions are to be dealt out
Nearly all the blunders and mistakes
costly both in lives and money-of previous
American wars can be traced to the APP
pointment of men with pulls" In the war
of 1872 this was so manifest that it has
passed into history. The navy won the
glory in that war, and the army was chiefly
engaged in laundering. The civil war
was very productive Of the political gen.
eral and of his inevitable mishaps and mis-
steps. There are enough men of military
training and experience in the land to con-
duct war with Spain. 1t is to be small
war. This country does not propose to
invade Spain. and Spain cannot land an
army on these shores. Cuba is the sole
theater of operation, and the blockade, to-
gether with the insurgents may suffice
there. The aid they may require Will not
be great and they certainly do not need
any political generals or colonels Let
there be an American war conducted by
military men solely. Perhaps, however.
there is no danger OF political general
seeking the Cuban climate. He would be

Gen. Joseph Wheeler
From the New York Times.

L rom lne NOW YORK Times.
1t is reported from Washington that the
president contemplates asking General
Wheeler of Alabama to accept a commits
sion as major-general in the volunteer
army now forming. He could not do any,
thing moro sure to attract the young men
of the south and southwest to the colors,
for there is no surviving commander of the
confederate armies, not even excepting
Fitzhugh Lee, who enjoys the confidence
and affection of so large part of the
southern people.
Nor Is the president likely to be disap-
pointed in any estimate he has formed of
General Wheeler's efficiency in actual serv-
ice. He is 81 years of age, which is about
as young as a man can be with experience
of four years in the civil war and two
years Che was graduated from West Point
in 1859 in the United States army, and he
is sound in health and strength. All things
considered his career was perhaps the
most distinguished in the cavalry arm
in the confederate service After the battle
of Shiloh he was placed in command OF the
cavalry of the west and performed con-
slant, laborious and brilliant service. His
work was especially appreciated by Cen
eral Sherman, to whom he was opposed
during the campaign that ended in the
capture of Atlanta. General Sherman Is
reported to have said after the close OF
the war that If we ever had to fight for
eign foe General Wheeler and General For
rest should have commands
Since the close of the civil war General
Wheeler has pursued a straightforward,
manly and patriotic course, which has won
for him the universal respect of his asso-
ciates in congress. He has shown there,
as he did in the army, great intelligence
and industry and thorough mastery of his
work.

DinuIeyism Now and toICome.

Mr.. Dingley is trying to excuse the fail
ure of his bill as a revenue measure by as
sorting that the war did it. The actual de-
felt when Pacific railroad sales are de-
Quoted, of eight months was $6S.616, 922. At.
This deficit occurred in eight months Of
profound peace. The four remaining
months will doubtless increase the deficit
to fully sloO,OOo,ooO. The stupidity of the
bill is. therefore equal to its barefaced rob-
berry of the people in the interest of few
campaign subscribers. Failure is written
all over it.
The Dingley war tax bill is an equally
monstrous contrivance. 1t, too, is planned
on plutocratic lines. 1t aims to tax the
people at every turn, to infinitely increase
the yexations of business, to harass the
average man, in order that accumulated
wealth may escape. 1t is thoroughly re-
publican, and its republicanism is of the
Hanna Elkins variety. It calls for bonds
at once. Not even moderate issue of
greenbacks is to be permitted, until the
scope and cost of the war can be fore
seen. A bond issue is demanded, and that.
too, at once.
II the bond proposition be insisted upon,
let the income tax proposition go with It.
Nothing can be accomplished in the house,
which is a machine-ruled body, but in the
senate the people have chance to be
heard. An income tax is an excellent war
measure. The history Of the civil war
