ILLINOIS IMMUNE,
Tho cbioaoa Times-Hera1d

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 Governor Tanner will be asked by the commanders of Chicago's provisional regi- ments to forbid recruiting in Illinois for outside regiments. Mississippi yesterday took another hundred men out of this city, who were enlisted to Captain c. G. McGhee of Columbus, Miss, making about 365 vol unteers that have gone to help the south ern colonels meet their quotas. Another set of recruiting officers is now it's way here to raise additional companies for the same regiment while report has it that Tennessee and one or two gulf states are getting ready to follow the example. Local army men and volunteer leaders think 1t unjust that Illinois should be made to sup ply the yeomen and get no credit for it. and none of the offices. The matter was brought to the attention of Senator Cullom while he was in town several days ago, and he is reported to have taken it up with Governor Tanner on going to Springfield A letter was received yesterday from one of the head men in the war department saying that army officials had no authority to interfere in the situation unless asked to by the governor. It added that Governor Tanner had it in his power to stop recruit inging for other states within his own com- monwealth if he chose.

Iefferson's Lesson.

The result in Jefferson county yesterday was an overwhelming victory for every democratic candidate The bolting inde- pendent ticket passed without considera- tion on the part of the people. It was almost friendess and voteess. This is well. Any fight to be made should be made within party lines No man who claims to be democrat has the right to be candidate for democratic office and because of failure to wln bolt and run as independent. Such action deserves fully the treatment it received yesterday There is ample opportunity for every democrat to contest within party lines. When men go out of these lines because of personal disappointment they are not deserving of consideration. Yesterdays result in Jeff ferson was a wholesome lesson. The men who went out of the party should now return to the ranks. By loyalty and faith fitness they may in time work themselves to the front.

country. The army leaders have concluded osaccept the terms known to be procurable, and they will see that neither the Carlists nor republicans nor Weyler nor anybody else drives the queen regent and her son out of Spain It is more than probable that Sagasta himself will be sustained, both in the cortes and before the people. The elections in that country are not elections in the sense that they are in Germany and England and in this country. As rule they are simply ratification meetings. The will of the army and the political leaders becomes through political device the will of the people, so far as 1t is ever ex- pressed

Public Libraries in Georgia.

Out of the Young Mems Library associa- tion of Atlanta has come library commits sion covering the entire state. The direct ors of the Atlanta association saw the needs of the state in the matter of good reading, and they asked the legislature to pass an act appointing five library com- misisoners. The commissioners are to serve without pay, either for services or travelling expenses, and the state is not to pay a secretary or pay any other expenses incur red in any way by the commission.
 The duties of the commissioners are to consist in the giving of advice to all H. braries in the state, and to all communi- ties which may propose to establish them. as to the best means of establishing and administering such institutions, including, of course, all details. such as the selection of books the manner of cataloging them, and the like. The commission is expected to send one of its members to aid any town that calls for such services, either in or- ganizing library or in improving one al- ready organized.

SOUTHERN STEEL DEVELOPMENT

From the New York Financial Record.
 After a years successful working of the small basic steel plant at Birmingham, Ala, there is now to be built, in the Br- mingham district, at F'nsley, Ala. plant for making basic open-hearth steel, hay ing a capacity of 1000 tons per day.
 This marks a new departure in the iron industry of the south, and one likely to be as important, in its ultimate develop ment of the steel trade of the United States, as was the building up of Birming- ham on the iron trade of the country.
 With inexhaustible supplies of iron ores coking coal and limestone for Aux, all in the closest proximity, the south has been able to revolutionze the iron making of the world, and with process which can handle ores for steel making which are as high in phosphorus as those of Alabama, it is hard to forsee the limit of the pos sible changes in steel making.
 With Pittsburg and Chicago depending on the Lake Superior region, hundreds of miles distant, for their ores, the suc- cess of the southern furnaces as competi- tors was assured With the basic pro- cess able to handle southern ores, southern steel is an assured success
 But it will not stop at the basic process as now carried on It is only a question of time when the phosphorus and other impurities will be taken up in the slag instead of in the furnace lining, the cost of operating the furnaces will be lessened, and with the high phosphorus contents of southern ores in the slags the slag will become a by-produot of value as a fertil- izer, instead of an item of expense in get ting rid of, as now. We have not seen the end of what science can do in iron yet. In backing the new enterprise the Tennes- see Coal and Iron company is starting a good deal more than one big steel works in the south. >

The Peace Neq0tiationS.

When Spain gave M. Cambon plenary powers and full instructions, she really said ,she desired peace on the best procurabe terms, and that she wanted it quickly. She showed that she knew the time to seek it by direct negotiation had come. M Cam bon is Spain's minister in the matter. He is Spain, not France, for the time being, and the negotiations proceeded as directly in his hands as they would if Senor Polo Barnabe or any other Spanish represent ative had been in Washington empowered to sue for peace and arrange the terms of it. The ratification of these terms at Madrid practically establishes peace, even if some of the terms are distasteful to this country. The senate wifi accept a good deal that is not its choice in order to stop bloodshed and the drain of war.
 The Spanish ministers knew, when they sent NJ Cambon to the president, about what terms could be gained. Like all men in similar places, they are exceedingly well-informed. The cables practically keen them in touch with this country. Their agents keep them closely and accurately advised. Not one of the terms of settle ment is surprise to the ministers of Spain. however much they may be to some of the population of that country. The acceptance at Madrid of the terms agreed on at Wash ing;on is therefore more than probable 
 It is equally plain, too, that the dynasty will be preserved-that Sagasta has been able to secure the assent of the army to the known terms, and therefore of the peo- and unmakes parties and shapes politics and retains or upsets dynasties in that

 LOVES LABOUR LOST.
Bismarck and Napoleon.

These two men of the nineteenth century had many traits and qualities in common. They were both soldier-statesmen. The soldier predominated perhaps in Napoleon, and the statesman in Bismarck, but the latter was as unmistakeably a soldier as the former was a statesman. The iron hand was seen in the chief events of either army was as essential to the one career as to the other. Each worked in and through a great army.
 But their plans differed radically, and from that difference there shines out the superiority of Bismarck. Napoleon de- sired universal empire for the glory of France. Bismarck desired German unity for the good of the German people. The former scheme involved endless wars and terrible battles, and was a dream that Rome and Alexander carried into execution at a period when the world was much smaller and weaker than it is now. Ma poleon attempted the task when it was be- yond the power of any man or any nation. Russia may have a similar bee in her bon net. but if she listens to its song, she can read her fate in the story of Napoleon. Universal esnfdre was forever buried in the rs1sss of Rome.
 -( Bismarck's contention was reasonable and practicable and in accordance with the tendency of the age. He desired and &C., complshed the political union of the Ger man people. He did for Germany the work that Cavour later did for Italy, and that Greece is now struggling to reach. He had no intention of interfering unduly with any matter that did not pertain to German unity and German prosperity. His tory will commend his plans They were as daring and brilliant as any of Napo- Icons but they were well-grounded, and the complete success that crowned all his efforts stands in striking contrast to the wrecks and disasters that were the perma- nent fruits of the great Corsican's ef- eorts.
 Bismarck based all his work on the tradi- tion and literature and speech of race 1or people. Napoleon ignored all Sucn things. He considered them mere obsta- cles to be overcome by military skill and French prowess. The one died surrounded by magnificent and far-reaching results; the other died a prisoner a lonely rock in the sea. The one was lcng-headed; the other was not. Ambition played its part in both lives, but Bismarck's ambition was an ambition within reason; Napoleons was not. Both were great men; no cen tury can boast of two greater; but the greater of the two, in every just respect, was the man whose body rests today in Friedrichsruhe

I had put on my officers belt before sinking the Merrimac as a means of Identification, no matter what happened to me, and, when l pointed to it in the launch, the admiral understood and seemed satisfied. The first words he said to me when he learned who I was were: 'Blenvenido sea usted,' which means You are welcome
 "My treatment by the naval officers and that of the men also was courteous all the time that was prisoner They heard my story, as much of it as could tell, but sought to learn nothing more. My men were rescued from the float, and we were taken to the shore and all placed in a cell in Morro Castle. I asked permission to send a note to Admiral Sampson, and wrote it, but when Admiral Cervera learned of it he came to me and said that General Ii- mares would not permit me to send it. The admiral seemed greatly worried, but it was not until day or two later that learned what was on his mind. That same day he said he would send a boat to the fleet to get clothes for us, and that the men who went in the boat could tell Admiral Samp- son that we were safe. I learned later that General Linares was inclined to be ugly and that Admiral Cervera wished to get word to our fleet as soon as possible that we were safe, knowing that General I,inares would then learn that the fleet knew it, and he would not dare to harm us."
 Lieut. Hobson then detailed the consid- crate treatment accorded to Himself and his men while in Morro Castle, and in the A lt,air rynf says he and his men owe their kind treat ment and subsequent exchange. From Morro Castle Hobson and his men watched the first bombardment of Santiago.

The Glorious Democratic Victory.

The Glorious Democratic Victory. The democrats have swept the state. The Alabama. There has never been anything so thoroughly overwhelming. The demo- cratic state ticket, headed by Governor Johnston, has carried the state by fully co., 900 majority. Not less than sixty of the sxty-six counties have been carried by the democratic state ticket Every demo- cratic candidate for circuit judge and chan cellor has been elected.
 Populists held the office of probate judge in thirty counties. They fought vigorously for this office in forty counties and lost in than eight counties.
 The democratic campaign committee, headed by Chairman Robert J. Lowe, has done splendid work and is entitled to great credit.
 The populists who left the democratic he will be welcomed. He will not be led into the republican ranks. There may be many bitternesses in some counties, largely due to local contests, but these will disappear long before the elections of 1900, and the vote of the state The parties of the state will thus become the two parties that seem destined to carry the country through another century.
 The great majority cast for Governor Johnston and the rest of the state ticket has been so thoroughly discounted that it will scarcely excite comment. It was a walkover. The vote might have been and should have been heavier, but in these eliminating days of war and peace negotia- tions and growing crops, full vote was an impossibility The result is sufficient and satisfactory.
 The state has gained from yesterdays elections practical and economical admin istration of its affairs during the coming two years, and this is a great deal. No state will, be better governed in that time than Alabama. No state treasury will be more closely guarded; no state will have the benefit of wiser efforts at improvement in prisons, in state charities and partic- ularly in public schools. Alabama is doubly blessed today in her great crops now rap idly advancing to maturity, and in the high and happy condition of her public affairs
 What the voice of the people is in rela- ton to a constitutional convention cannot be accurately ascertained until the peo- ple's representatives are assembled in Mont gomery next November. Coming fresh from the people, they will speak with an au-
 
 eide that convention proposition shall be submitted to the people, 1t may safely be assumed that they express the desire of the people.
 The adoption of the Birmingham amend ment relieves to some extent the local pressure of the constitution of twenty years ago; but the reform of the electorate, and the rapid upbuilding of the public schools, and many other problems of deep import ance remain unsettled and this city will be as actively in favor of a new constitu- ton as it would have been If the amend ment had not been adopted.
