THE ALABAMA ELECTION

From the New York World.
 The Democrats have elected their candi- date for governor in Alabama by major ity of 7O,0oO At the corresponding election in 1896 the Democratic majority over the Popuists and Republicans was about 4O,- 0OO
 The election on Monday was very quiet not over two-thirds of the total vote being boiled. The Populists lost heavily every- where. The Democrats will have ninety members of the hundred in the lower branch of the legislature. The contest was mainly on state and local issues.
 The result shows, as the voting in other states has done, the utter disintregation or the populist party. It was inevitable alter the fusion of 1896 and the split caused in the populist ranks by that event, followed py the defeat of the combination, that the come-outers should gravitate to their old party connection. There will be some "stand-outers" but the indications arc for a presidential contest on old party lines, quite probably with controlling new issues

SYMPATHY FROM ARGENT A

From the San Francisco News Letter.
 We hear from Madrid that Spanish America is in entire sympathy with the Moorish peninsula. As far as the little town of Corrientes, lying on the shore of the Rio Parana, in Argentina, is concern ed that is a mistake Corrientes has 14,OJO inhabitants and a little four-page paper entitled Fl Duendecillo The editor of El Duendecilo has discovered that war has been declared by the United States against Spain for the sole purpose of breaking the bonds that hold the Cuban people in slavery" The editor proceeds to tell his readers something about that great, pow erful, generous country, Norte-America.' We. too, have suffered the bangs of sla- very, he says, but we tore those bonds asunder when we won the glorious victory "De Nueva Orleans, venice en Luisiana, can 5000 soldados norte-americanos 15o,- 900 ingleses." Nor is this all; we have con 5000 soldados norte-americanos 150,00 "los compatriotas de Washington Frank lin. de Adams y Jefferson, de Edison Lincoln, de Madison Jackson" He also mentions a few Spanish grandees and adds significantly, We know them; we have felt their steel" 'Si: la causa de Cuba es santa. la de Espana no!'

The lottery of ny destiny Bars me the right of Uoluntary choosing.
 MERCHANT OF VENICE,
The Nicarauqa Canal.

The Texas democrats this week declared built. One convention after another is do- ing likewise, and there is scarcely a doubt as to the sentiment of the country. It demands the building of an American ca nal under American control solely This is favorable time for formally abrogat- ing, by agreement with the British govern- ment, the Clayton-Bulwe treaty. Uncle Sam wants no partners in ship canal between the two oceans. As soon as the war is fairly settled public sentiment will be heard in favor of the building of canal, and when congress meets some ac- tion will undoubtedly be taken.
 The iron and coal interests of Alabama are deeply concerned in the proposed work. Alabama coal can be carried up and down the Pacific coast from San Francisco to Valparaiso when the canal is built, and Alabama iron and steel can seek Pacific outlet. There is not a gulf port that will not be largely benefited by the building of canal. As a matter of fact, the full development of the mineral district of the state depends upon the building of the canal and of the Warrior river improve ment.
 The indications are that public sentiment will favor an absolute ownership of the canal by the United States. The trade between the two sections of the country the far east and the far west-demands the naturalization of the canal. Its use by government ships. points that way. The desire of all sections,~for Pacific trade and of closes relations with Japan and Chir~c~and the islands of the great sea- not only call for the building of a canal. but also for its complete naturalization. Public sentiment is rapidly drifting in that direction. The canal question in its more pressing form really grows out Of the Spanish war, and as one of its i'm portant consequences will be apt to com mand the support of both parties, if not of all classes of citizens.

LIEUT.. HOBsoN IS WRITING A NOVEL

From a New York Dispatch.
 Lieut. Richmond Pearson Fobson the hero of Santiago, is a novelist as well as soldier. In company with Miss Virginia Osborn, rising young journalist of Brook lyn, he has been writing a novel to be known as "A Story of the Old South.' Both are southerners, and both desired to see the vanishing types of southern life em- balmed in a novel. It was Lieutenant Hob- sons purpose also to give an extended, true picture of life at the Annapolis Naval academy. The hero, Guy du Bignon, Is Lieutenant Hobson, and the heroine, Vir- ginia Spottswood, in many respects resem- bles the lieutenants fair collaborator. Ar ter much of the roughness incident to loves course, the hero and heroine are made to marry and live happily in the stereotyped style. Gossips of the southern set in Brook lyn predict that such will be the fate of the originals, although Miss Osborn em- phatically denies the persistent rumors or her engagement to the famous officer. War interrupted the progress of the novel. Miss Osborn is authority for the statement that it will be completed if necessary by that tedious method of correspondence. Three chapters constitute the novel up to date

The Joint COmmissi0

The difficult problem of the war is to be l agreement to joint Spanish-American
 commission. consisting probably of five from each country There will be little difficulty in settling the terms of the Philippines but when that knetty problem is taken up this country should put her best men on duty. The Spaniards are adopts in the arts of diplomacy, and they will strive strenuously for advantage in the Philippines. The treaty, too, must be of such a nature that it command the support of two-thirds of the senate, else another treaty would become necessary. Such result would not, however be very distressing to this country, because we would be in possession. But still it is best
 to avoid such mshap.
 It cannot be avoided by the appointment
 of such men as Senator Edmunds, who be-
 longs 10 the period of the civil war, and is
 not at all in touch with the America of
 the present time. He is a full generation
 out of date. His appointment is rumored. It would be an unfortunate appointment one smacking of campaign subscriptions, to say the least
 It is said that General Woodford, minis ter to Spain, and Ex-Secretary of State Richard olney have been rendered places on the commission. As the treaty must be confirmed by the senate. two members of | the foreign relations committee will un- | doubtedly be appointed. One of these i Davis, and the other should be Senator John T. Morgan. The latter's place on the Hawaiian commission could readily be filled. If it be impra acticable to take Sena- ter Morgan from the Hawaiian task, then Senator Turpie or Senator Gray would be available but Senator Morgan is the rank ing democratic member of the committee, and is withal so well fitted for the work of the commission that his appointment would best please and satisfy the country. The fifth member of the commission may also be taken from the foreign relations com mittee.
 The appointment of Ex-Senator Edmunds would not be satisfactory. It would give Spain six members to America's four, and it might result in @ document that would be rejected by the senate Senators Frye, Lodge or Foraker, all members of the for eign relations committee, woud be a more satisfactory appointment. A commission consisting of Woodford, Oney, Davis, Nor gan and Foraker would be thoroughly American, and thoroughly in touch with American public sentiment

 Now the only thing we have to do at present is to annex the islands. After that we shall know what to do with them. If We want to give them away or sell them, na- tions enough will stand ready to take them. But we never shall want to give them up. The problem that nowzseem to some people so difficult will easily be solved. The moun- tains will shrink to molehlls That was our experience in annexing Texas and Caifor-l mia, while it used to be urged that Alaska was dangerous and undesirable. Even up to the other day some people were worry ing as to how we should ever govern Porto Rico, but it's inhabitants are crazy with enthusiasm over our flag.
 We shall learn how to take care of the Philippines when we have them to take care of.

Cotton Growing in Porto Rico.

Porto Rico is a small island, already pret- ty fully devoted to the cultivation of sugar cane, coffee and tropical fruits There may be some limited upland districts well adapt
 ed to the growing of the cotton, but the adaptation cannot be very controlling; for po cotton is raised on the island. None ever has been. The enthusiasts who think they have found a new cotton field are probably over sanguine. They will not find any lands in Porto Rico that can compete with the sonth in the production of the staple
 They are certainly mistaken when they say that cotton san be raised and manu- factured on the island to good advantage. Even if it can be proftably grown, the man. ufacture of it on the island would probably be unprofitable; for it is without coal depos- its, and its streams must necessarily be small. The whole thing is day dream
 Porto Rico can raise sugar and coffee, and the winter visitor will do the rest. As to secure good share of the visitors who have heretofore gone to Florida or south ern California;: and much will be made of its productivity and equitable climate. It is populous and productive now, and it will become in the hands of the Americans even more populous and productive; but there is no probability that the land lying in the tropics can compete with states that have as a rule just enough sun and just enough rain to make fine cotton crop It is the admirable combination in these southern states of sun and moisture that gives them control of the cotton markets of the world. Practically they are without rivals. Brazil prefers coffee cultivation; the East Indian sticks to rice in the lowlands and wheat in the uplands, and the Egyptian can grow cotton only in districts covered by irriga- tion. None of them are serious competi- tors of the southern states of this country. Neither Cuba nor Porto Rico possesses the happy combination. and the new cotton field will not be apt to materialize, simply because sugar, tobacco and coffee are all better crops in those islands.
