The Buena Ventura,

When the United States gunboat Nash vile captured the Buena Ventura, with cargo of lumber on board-the first prize of the war-she really captured lawsuit. The owners of the ship have already forwarded a protest. They say she Is British ship, and they further say the ultimatum of the president had not expired when the ship was captured. Whether these grounds are good CT not it is certain that grounds will be found for a legal struggle. The cortes will have to wait for their prize money until the validity of the capture can be established in the courts. Such law suits have become an established feature of cases like the Buena Ventura As the Spanish ship captured by the Nashville was lowed to Key West the case will be heard by the United States district court for the south ern district of Florida, and the title of the case will be the United States versus the Spanish steamship Buena Ventura and car- go.
 The ship had sailed from Paseagola, Mis- sissippi. with a cargo of lumber. for Rot terdam. If the cargo belonged to an Ameri- can in this country or to a Dutchman in Holland, It was not subject to capture, but the more interesting question relates to the vessel itself. Did a state of war exist between Spain and the United States? If so, the vessel would be a lawful prize, provided of course, she was as Spanish as her name indicates. Assuming that the vessel was Spanish in ownership and pa- pers, the little lumber vessel may become historic on account of the question that her seizure will settle-the date when the war began. The presidents ultimatum had not expired, and it is difficult to say just what the relations of the two countries were at the time of the capture. Diplomat ic relations had ceased, and each of the two ministers had received his passport. Altogether it is question for lawyers to wFangle over and for judges to decide. The formal declaration of war made yesterday would seem to say that the Nashville had anticipated congress and the president, and that her officers and crew will not receive the first prize money of the war.

The Oregon Campaign.

The fight in Oregon Is a very hot one. It eliminates on the sixth day of June, and it will be the first real indication of the drift of public sentiment this year. It is in every sense contested election. The peo- pie of the state know that their action will have wide influence, and so it hap pens that the canvass is the hottest in the annals of the state.
 The republicans are handicapped by a factional fight Ex-Senator John H. Mitch ell is the machine leader, and he is de- nounced with no little bitterness by the ante-machine republicans. The silver peo- pie are working tremendously together, the combination being known as the peo- ple's democratic silver republicans, and the nominations for governor. secretary of state. attorney general, treasurer and su- perintendent of public instruction have been divided among the three clements of the new combination. The gold democrats are, of course, acting with the republicans The middle-of-the-road populists have named a ticket, but it's support is very feeble.
 The two republican candidates for con- gress are opposed in the district by democrat, and in the other by a silver republican. The result of these elections, together with those for members of the legislature, which will choose an United States senator, will be closely watched. If the republicans lose Oregon, the succeed ing congressonal elections can be foretold, and it will not be difficult to forecast the greater result of 1900. The war will have no appreciable effect upon a canvass as warm that in Oregon has been from the day of it's opening.

A Chinese View

From the St. Louis Gl0be-Democrat.
 California newspaper has come into the possession of hish-caste Chinaman's diary of travel in America and printed a translation. The Critic says the Americans take enormous quantities of whisky; they hurry with everything, instead of resting like civilized persons; they never enjoy themselves by sitting quietly their an- cestors' graves" They kick balls violent ly without pay, and even sit down to ths same table with women; while the Ameri- can dancing consists of spinning around Ito most discordant music" Furthermore, in good weather Americans wander in the fields, waving long sticks senselessly in the air. It will be noticed that there are two sides to the question of national oddity.

A Constitutional Convention :
From the Selma Journal.

From the Selma Journal.
 constitutional convention, change in the fundamental law of this grand old state is 8 necessity that must be recognized by every intelligent thinker. Laws made for conditions that existed more than quarter of a century ago when the commonwealth had only about half as many souls to care for as now, are absolutely and entirely un- it for securing the best results in this day of progress and prosperity Then again, the suffrage question should be settled and rightly settled at once for all. We of the black belt who have borne the brunt of the evil that the fortune of war left us and have worked out our own destiny, would rejoice to be relieved of the respon- siblity that has laid so heavily upon us since '4 There is ever dormant under the feet of this people a volcano that though slumbering for years and now apparently harmless may break forth causing death and destruction. It would give to our peo- pie much relief to know that it's molten fires were completely quenched and that never again will even the spectre appear of the days of Rhoddy Thomas, Jasper Haney and their ilk. Let a constitutional convention be held, and let the best possi- ble men, men of brains, honest men, pa- triotic men be selected to represent the people and the peoples interest in that convention.

The School Problem,
tion.

The state convention met the strong sem timent in favor of public schools when It demanded in the name of democracy larger appropriations for the common schools of the state. "We favor,' said the represen- tatives of the people, ''the improvement of our public common schools, and demand that appropriations for their support be gradually increased as our people are able to bear the additional burden" Nothing better in the way of platform declaration is needed. It calls for reforms in the school system, and it demands more money for "the public common schools of the state.
 This is all right but the people should see that the limitation clause ts not too covser- vatively construed. No one wants appro- priations for any purpose that the people are not able to bear. In the matter of pub lie education people able to bear good deal No other taxes are paid so freely and uncomplainingly. No other taxes bring such grand results All things considered the people of Mississippi pay three times as much in support of the public common schools as the people of Alabama do, and the best people of Mississippi arc very glad of an opportunity to support their schools. What Mississippi is able to bear certainly Alabama can bear, if need be.
 And there is the rub--the nature and depth of the need. This is what everybody should make plain and manifest. Every body in the state who has studied the edu- cationa problem should make 1t his or her duty to make known the extent of the states educational needs--to explain the states educational shortcomings, to hold Up the states low educational standing. Let is become known that Alabama is in danger of losing her hold on fourth place from the bottom in the list of states. Let 1t be known that unles the school system be improved and school appropriations in- creased. the good state, so rich in national resources, will soon be known as the Hitter

Origin of the Cake Walk

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The cake walk properly had its origin among the French negroes of Louisiana more than century ago. There is little doubt it is an off-shoot of some of the old French country dances. It resembles sev- eral of them in form. From New Orleans it spread over the entire south, and thence north It was found of convenience to the plantation negroes.
 At cake walk man might legitimately show his preference for a woman, and thus publicly cha:m her for a wife. In effect the cake wslk was not different from the old Scotch marriage, which required only public acknowledgment from the contract ing parties So this festival became. in some sense, 2 wooing, an acceptance or re- jection and 6 ceremony. This explains it's popularity with the blacks, outside of it's beauties, with the accompaniment of music which is competent at all times to com mand negro support.
 Cake walking has improved, as do most

Cabinet Reconstruction.

There seems to be some truth at least changes. It is proposed, so it is said, to put the council of the white house on a war basis. MT. Gary is a merchant-manufac- turer of Baltimore. He wants trade to go American seamen rest in the mire of Ha- vana harbor. He wants profits to come in regularly, wholly regardless of starving reconcentrados, or struggling patriots. Fortunately for all, he resigned. He had no stomach for war, but he had sense enough to quit, and his successor, Mir. Charles Emory Smith, believes in conduct ing a war vigorously.
 A change has also taken place in the head of the state department. MT. Sher- man is an old man, and he, too, has stood with the peace party. It is said that Senator Cushman K Davis, now chairman of the foreign relations committee, was asked to take the place. MT. Davis, it will be remembered, prepared the majority re-
  Spanish rule in Cuba. one of the ablest papers of the present crisis. He is needed, however at the head of the foreign rela- tions committee, and the chances are that he would not consent to leave the senate. His state Minnesota, is steadily republican. and his term of service in the senate Is practically for life. MT. Shermans success sor is to be Judge William R. Day, at pres. ent assistant secretary of state, and the 7 presidents confidential adviser and friend of Canton, O. Canton is now very fuify and victoriously at the helm of state. Judge Day is considered a man of fair ca- pacity, but no one considers him an Olney or even a Cushman Davis. He has prac- tically had charge of the Cuban question from the beginning of the present admin istration, and the experience he has gained in the conduct of the country's foreign of- flee is some assurance that affairs will go along pretty well in his hands. Altogether, the change is not for the worse.
 Other changes are mooted. General Alger is none too well fitted for the trying duties of the war office in war period, and Sec retary Long is lawyer who knows very little about naval warfare. If either be displaced, the new appointees will doubt less be men of acton, thus placing the cabi- net itself on a war basis with the rest of the country. The change from MT. Gary to MT. Charles Emory Smith was at any rate welcomed, and the appointment of MT. Day to the place held by the aged MT. Sherman will also prove acceptable. Time will perhaps disclose farther changes. The cabinet is plainly undergoing reconstruc- tion.

HON. TENNENT LOMAX.
From the Montgomery Journal.


 A striking evidence of the statewide popularity of Hon. Tennent Lomax was given when he presented the platform and resolutions which were unanimously adopted by the state convention, there were loud cries for speech from the dis tingushed Alabamian. MT. Lomax was in- troduced by Chairman F. l.. Pettus, in a few timely and eloquent remarks in which he paid a glowing and deserved tribute to MT. Lomax who then addressed the. con vention in speech which was frequently interrupted with applause. It was forci- ble and eloquent speech, and had the ring of democracy throughout. There is no more polished and eloquent orator in the state than MT. Lomax, and there is no democrat who has stronger and more de- voted following among the people. He is a leader, of whom Alabama democrats are proud.

He has been four times speaker of the house and should he enter the arena, which it is certain he will do, he will make a lively race down the home stretch. Col. Clements is in the prime of mature man. hood and the great experience he has had in legislative matters well qualify him for the position of governor.

Nothing to Arbitrate There

Cleveland Plain Dealer. r
 There is no better evidence that the United States is a peaceful nation than the fact that it has submitted it's disputes with other nations to arbitration something like forty times within the last century. Now and then, however, there are differ ences of so peculiar nature that they can not be submitted to arbitration.

The Three Cities

From the Troy Standard.
 Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile could easily furnish two thousand volun- teers, to say nothing of the other cities and towns in the state. On the first call for volunteers, it would seem that good policy would dictate to the government authorities, if not more than 100000 men are called for to raise them from the cities, where at all times there are many idle, and not take them from among those in the country engaged in agriculture.
