The War Is Ended.

People are nervous and anxious over the
outcome of the peace negotiations at Paris;
but there is really no occasion for mo-
ments anxiety or of undue nervousness
The war is ended, and it will never be re-
newed while grass grows and water runs.
The Spanish commissioners are present.
ing reasons for delays and changes in the
terms of settlement, and objections of
various sorts, none of which are we'll
grounded, and none of which are, perhaps,
put forward by the proponents with an
expectation that they will be favorably en-
tertained The Spanish commissioners
know very well what the terms of settle
ment are to be, and they are endeavoring
to prepare the minds of their people for the
inevitable. 1t is this, and this only, that
has absorbed so much time-two months or
better The dynasty is at stake. The min
istry is trembling in the balance The
commissioners themselves may b. well
coined home by an angry mob. Things are
not pleasant all around in a conquered
country. They never are. And Spain has
been sparring all these weeks to get her
people ready for the American demands.
The current outgivings of the Madrid jour-
nails indicate that the needfu public sem
timent has been to some extent secured,
and tomorrow will be apt to remove all
sources of anxiety, showing beyond mis-
take the nature and scope of the terms Of
peace
1t could not be otherwise. The Spanish
ministers and commissioners and all other
Spaniards of intelligence know that an
American fleet Is ready to seize the Cana
ries, and that the same fleet could soon
thunder at Cadiz They know that success
full war is impossible on their part. They
know that it would simply invite fresh dis
aster, which would in turn overthrow min
istry, dynasty and orderly government 1t
would mean in Spain chaos and ruin. Spain
will make peace-probably tomorrow-sim-
ply because the other course would be even
more lamentable. She will make peace be-
cause successful war is far beyond her
powers. 1t will be peace, and that, too
right along, and the terms will meet the
expectancy of the country.

NuRSCRIPTION RATES.
The Open Door in the Philippines.

Russia in Manchuria and France in Ton
quin are endeavorirg to shut out through
high tariffs and other restrictions all other
nations; and the "open door, policy to be
applied to the Philippines has similar
look. 1t is to be the open door, not of
worlds trade, but of the tariff and ship
building barons of the country. Tariff rates
are to be established in the Philippines
that all will pay alike. including the ex-
porters of the country, and Philippine goods
will pay duties in the ports of this country
as they heretofore have done. This is done
which must be preserved though the
public fall. The sugar trust, the tobacco
trust. and dozen other trusts must be pro-
tected, else Mr.. Mark Hanna's next levy
for campaign purposes would be sadly les
sened. The campaign purse and the purses
of the various trusts stand or fall together.
1t is difficult to see how a different tariff
can be imposed-how any tariff at all can be
can goods-without violating the constitu-
ton. That instrument casually remarks
THAT all duties, imposts and excuses shall
be uniform throughout the United States"
But what is the constitution, when the in
terests of the trusts and the size of the
campaign fund are involved?
The administration has decided that Por
to Rico is a part of the United States, and
this decision must of course be extended
to the Philippines. This decision becomes
necessary in order to enforce our medieval
antiquated and barbaric navigation laws.
These laws say that a Canadian vessel
shall not call at Mobile and pick up ton
of Alabama coal for the Porto Rican mar
kets. When this rule is extended to the
Philippines. as of course it must be, we will
present to the world very fine muddle
consisting of open doors. and laws first en-
forced by Mediterranean pirates, and ship
ping acts that even backward Spain would
be ashamed of-all, mind you, for the pro-
lection of home trusts and Mark Hannas
campaign fund.

A MAMMOTH COTTON PRESS.

From the Grenada (Miss) Sentinel.
This press weighs $50, 900 pounds, and can
press cotton to density of thirty-five to
forty pounds to the cubic foot. 1t is one
of the latest improved patterns now in ex-
istence, and has a capacity of 1900 bales
per day. We were further informed that of
the uniform bale they can easily load into
an ordinary car 100 of them. This press has
loaded as high as $1,000 pounds into one car
and we are told that the manager intends
to make a test and see how much he can
load in car. He feels satisfied he can
easily load $4,000 pounds, and perhaps more.
The object of the company in putting in
this press was to enable it to press the uni
form bale to a density of thirty-five pounds
to the cubic foot and receive a rebate from
the steamship companies of so cents per
bale, which they have promised. This will
make the press one of the most valuable
in the south, and cotton will flow here from
all sections. The president of the company
stated that he Is now figuring on bringing
cotton here from several stations that have
never compressed their cotton in Grenada
before, and if his anticipations are realized
Grenada will handle in a few years 100, 900
bales of cotton at the compress. Owing to
the rush of business they have been ocm-
PEELED to run almost daily and in many in
stances were forced to run all night. On
account of the increased business it was
necessary to put in this mammoth press.

BANKHEAD ON BAILEY

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
My attention has been called to a pur-
ported interview held with me by a friend
of mine, an alleged summary of which APP
peared in one of your columns in your edi-
ton of November %.
The article in question was in reference
to my opinion of the character and at
tributes of Hon. Joseph w. Bailey. of
Texas, candidate for the leadership of the
minority in the next congress.
l do not know who your informant was,
but desire to say that the matter publish
ed as being substantially uttered by me is
great injustice to both Mr.. Bailey and
myself. l never entertained any such
opinion of Mr.. Bailey as that expressed in
your column, and I never made any such
expression to any one, friend or otherwise.
l consider Mr.. Bailey a very able young
man, as he has demonstrated on the floor
of the house. He and I are warm personal
friends, and have been for a number of
years. I desire to deny the authenticity of
the alleged interview, both as to spirit and
substance. No such conversation ever oc-
Cured Very respectfully,

PATTI IN ONE SHOE

Famous Singers of Today and Yesterday.
In 1882, owing to the competition of
Henry Abbey, Mapleson was obliged to
raise PATHS salary from 81, 900 night to
$4,000, and finally to 5000 a night sum
previously unheard of in the annals of OPP
era. The price, moreover, was to be paid
at o'clock on the day of which Patti was
to sing. On the second night of the en-
gagement at Boston Patti was billed to
sing "Trayiata." Expenses had been
heavy and the funds were low, so that
when Signor Franchi, PATHS agent, called
promptly at the theater at o'clock only
$4,000 could be scraped together. The agent
was indignant He declared that the con-
tract was broken, and that Patti would not
sing. He refused to take the $1,000 and
went off to report the matter to the prima
donna. AT A o'clock he returned and told
Colonel Mapleson that Patti would take the
$4,000 and dress for the part all except her
Shoes She would arrive at the theater at
the regular time, and when the remaining
paltry $1,000 was forthcoming she would
put on her shoes and go on the stage
Patti arrived as promised, costumed all
but her Shoes Only $500 was on hand
and the money was taken to Patti, and in
few moments word was sent back to the
manager that Patti was ready, all but one
shoe, which would not be put on till the
remaining 5000 was paid 1t was time for
the performance, but people were still COM
ing in, and after some time the balance of
the amount was turned over to Signor
Franchi. Patti put on her other shoe and
proceeded to the stage.

EXPANSION IN the Senate.

Senator Gallery grows and grinds sugar
cane and he is therefore an opponent OF
Philippine annexation. He does not want
any more competition of that nature And
he has been looking around to see how
much strength can be mustered in the cap
italistic senate to defeat a peace treaty
that takes over the Philippines.
He assumes, to begin with, that all who
voted against the Hawaiian resolution Will
vote against such treaty-thirty-three IN
all; and he counts upon Senators Hoar,
German, Mantle and Cannon as reinforce
ments. This would give thirty-seven sena-
tors, enough, of course, to defeat treaty
in a body consisting of 80 members. thirty
one senators can defeat the two-thrds vote
required for ratification.
But there are all sorts of doubts involved
in this calculation. If a peace treaty COW
ering the annexation Of the Philippines
should be presented, both from patriotic
and party point of view, can the Louisiana
senator depend upon even Senator Hoar.
And then there are Senators Morrill, of Yer
mont Gear of Iowa, Spooner of Wisconsin,
and Thurston of Nebraska, every one of
whom, including Senator Hoar, could prob
ably be lined up for vote in favor of an
administration measure. Five from thirty
seven leaves thirty-two. But in that thirty
twe@are Senator Gray, of Delaware, who
may return from Paris a wiser if not a
sadder man; Senator Chiffon, who has ex-
pressed himself in favor of the widest pos
sible trade extension, and these populists,
Allen of Nebraska and Butler of North Car
DINA, who may wabble from their Haw-
allan vote. These four votes alone render
the result in the senate uncertain. And
there are others among the thirty-three
who voted against the Hawaiian resolution
that will hesitate before they vote against
peace, and the dispersion of the volunteer
army and the reduction of expenses. and
a final settlement of the war.

The Schools in the Senate.

The school bills that have been made
special order in the senate for next Thurs
day include the bill that has been prepared
for the purpose of separating the public
school moneys from all other funds In the
treasury thus preventing their diversion
under any circumstances: also, bill de-
filming and arranging the school districts.
thus preventing the organization and clash
ing of small schools; also, a bill providing
for the appointment of county superintend-
ents by the state superintendent and pro-
viding that every county superintendent
shall be an expert teacher also, bill pro-
viding for county board of examiners
also bill to establish a state board of
education, with view to uniformity, high
er standards, and the representation of all
school interests.
All of these bills spring from the best ex-
perience and the best school talent in the
state. They are open, however, to one OBJ
lection, namely, they aim to take the
schools out of politics and away from poll
ticians, giving preference in the care and
training of the children of the state to edu-
Gators carefully and intelligently selected
How much weight this objection will have
in the senate remains to be seen. How
much pull the present lot of county SUI
perintendents have remains to be measured
But important as these bills-afe, they do
not reach the heart of the subject The
uolfar. and Iira worlx Of n .,o.t ,,o1a,.,o.
of the 100000 children now in the state will
be first determined in the lower house; for
no matter how well the schools be organ
lied, nothing Of value can be accomplished
An additional appropriation of ten cents
head, as the appropriations committee rec
ommends, will prove Intellectual. 1t Is not
enough 1t may prove to be waste of pub
lie moneys. Spread over the whole state,
$4,000 is very thin response to the popular
demand for better schools.
Representative Davis has introduced two
bills that meet the case courageously, and
the hope is that house full of young men
who desire to see Alabama lifted I'D ma
terially as well as Intellectually. will stand
by the two bAis, and secure their passage.
The one bill provides for a special school
tax of two and one-half mills. and the other
authorizes counties at their option to aid
their public schools. The people of coun-
ty should be permitted to have as good
schools as they are willing to support. The
crucial test comes howaver over thu Iii,

A PROPOSED SOLUTION
From the Baltimore Sun.


Bishop Turner, at the African Methodist
Episcopal conference, in Macon, Ca. sug-
gested as a solution of the race problem
an appropriation by congress of $1OO 900, OG0
ito start a line of steamers between this
country and Africa" for the deportation of
the negroes. If 200 steamers were employ
ed, each carrying 1000 negroes at $500
head, and making six trips year, as many
as 100000 would be carried over a year.
at cost of $l20,O0O,O0O. In ten years Il, OOO,-
600 Africans would be returned to Africa at
cost of 81 200, 10000. If IL be thought that
500 head is an excessive estimate, reduce
1t by half. Even SO, the proposed solution
OF the problem would cost the tidy figure of
$500 100000. 1t Is, however, Questionable
whether the African would not prefer to
stay here and solve the race problem by
kicking out his white carpet-bag and seal
awag political associates and cultivating
the good will of the respectable white peo-
pie of the south.
