Alabama and Her Heroes.

Alabama Is right in it with respect to
supplying heroes for the present war.
Lieut.. Hobson, released by the Span
iards ON Thursday. after an imprison-
ment of thirty three days in. Santiago,
received an ovation in passing through
the lines Of Skaters soldiers ON his
way to rejoin his comrades Of the
navy. Yesterday in the house of repre-
sentatives. when the adjournment hour
came, Gen. Joe Wheeler, the gallant
old eX-Confederate cavalry leader and
now one of Skaters ablest associate
commanders at Santiago, received the
enthusiastic cheers of all his former
colleagues in the house without distinc-
ton of party. Both these heroes are
from Alabama, and it Is good that the
representatives Of the nation should
join in doing honor to her brave sons,
in so hearty a manner, for they but
express the sincere sentiment of the
citizens Of the entire country. 1t is to
be hoped that Gen. Wheeler may sur
vive the trying climate of Cuba and be
permitted to return and personally re-
ceiVe the plaudits OF the people whom
he has so patrictically and generously
served. All honor to Wheeler and
Hobson! All honor to Alabama!

more difficult racial problems to our al
ready crowded field Of public problems?
The negro in the South Is MO more alien
to our race than is the Spaniard and
his hybrids in Cuba or Porto Rico.
Where Is there a Spanish community
that has demonstrated its capacity for
se.f-government? What Is there in our
experience anywhere to indicate that
they have any real conception of gov
crnmelnt as we hold IT? How will we
be able to keep Cuban and Spaniard in
peace in Cuba or Porto Rico? And how
will we be able. under other than MILL
tary rule. to hold either or both in
order?
Ii We have found the solution Of race
questions impossible in our own juris-
diction on lines parallel to the prin-
ciples of republican government, how
can we expect to solve the more diff
cult one that the annexation OF these
West Indian islands will present? And
with the annexation Of the Philippines
will come a problem more difficult to
handle than was the question Of negro
management in the South. Here the
negro had had centuries Of sub
serviency to the whites; there by far
the larger portion of the natives have
GeVer submitted to Spanish control.
Here the whites surrounded and domi-
mated the negro; there we can never
expect to introduce whites sufficient to
outnumber the natives. Control there
must be by the strong arm Of the mill
tary. There can be no government;
only despotism.
In the i'll strong light Of their ex-
pertinent in solving a race problem
within our own borders can sensible,
conservative, prudent Republicans give
approval to the proposition to under
take the solution of these vastly more
difficult ones? That is the present is
sue that the congressional contests this
fall will turn en-. All others are mort
bum.
The true American policy is embodied
in these few words:
No imperial colonial policy
No territorial expansion to beget it.
No entangling alliance with any ma
ton under the sun.

Where's Mr.. What's His Name.

When the war came upon the adj
m1nlstration and 1t became apparent
that all military operations would be
on foreign soil, the country was as
sured that especial pains would be TAX
! en- to arrange for the speedy trans
mission of the mails to and from the
army Anxious hearts at home were
not to be left in suspense while letters
laid in camp waiting for some official to
take charge Of them, nor were the boys
in the field to be kept wondering how
matters were getting on at home:
whether the wife and baby were well
or the sweetheart faithful. We, no
they, the soldiers and the girls they
left behind them, were told that some
BODY had been appointed generalissa-
mo or something else of military mails.
and that he was going forthwith to
arrange for the transmission of mails
10 and from the army. We recall that
this enthusiastic person divulged the
general outline Of his plan; told us how
the mail routes were to be established
and mail carriers We're to follow right
after the troops and postoffices were
to be made and duly filled, and for all
OF delays there might be the boys at
the front would not know but they
were at home.
And where is that fellow at? Where
are his post routes? Where are the
postoffices? And where are those mail
carriers? rs he still in washington
sitting on what we may call a postal
board Of strategy? Is he still occupied
In hearing representatives present the
claims Of constituents for appointment
as postmasters at Fort McCalla, San
Juan, Ell Caney, Aguadores or Baiuui-
ri? Is he chaffering with the star
reuters? Else why this surprising
word from Kingston that Consul Sny-
der had spent all his salary for postage
on soldiers letters which the newspa-
per dispatch boats have brought from
Santiago and dumped into the consul
late? Where is what's his name that
ne isn't down there somewhere gather
ing up those letters and sending them
back on our transports, instead of let
ting them go over to Jamaica. where
our consul has to add cents for the
colonial postage charge before they
can come on their way? And, if what's
his name can't be found, where is
Chawles Emory Smith, P. M. G., that
he is not tending to his business? Is
he trying to outbungle Alger?

Do They Want r1ore of It?

Republican state conventions NAV

eeneralities about the patriotic an
plication Of American principles" to
cur foreign relations by this admins
trat1cn, but the strong current of opin-
into Imperialism.
thoughtful men In all parties will
pause, before giving adherence to this
departure, to ask if this country and
the Republican party especially have
not had sufficient experience within orr
own boundaries with race. problems to
make that party cautious about en-
talngling the country in other and far
more serious ones. Whatever the
causes that cast the country into civil
war, the-outcome was a race problem
not even yet adjusted. With the same
inconsiderate haste that characterizes
the action of that party now in this
Cuban affair, it bestowed citizenship
upon 10000 blacks absolutely unified
to receive 1T.
Is there any Republican who can, to-
day. look back upon the results of that
u1w1se actions with pleasure or salts
faction? Can he recall the days of the
carpetbagger with pride? Can he con-
template the era of reconstruction and
feel that 1t established his party's ca
pacity for governing a subject people?
Can he recall the heroic struggle of the
men Of his own race and blood against
the flood of ignorance, fraud, corrup-
tlon beneath which his party's policy
had submerged them, with anything
but pride for the characteristics that
refused submission and with regret for
the folly of his party? Can he not see.
in the tacit acceptance by his party of
the action of those states in eliminat-
ing from the franchise the element his
party injected, its admission of its in
ability to deal with race problems?
And. with this complete test before
him. can he regard with approval a
policy that will. If carried out. add still

undertake the work speedily. II, on the other
hand, the railroad companies must respond to

action was brought solely to determine the
rights Of the city. as well as those of the rail-
road companies.
The contention OF the railroad companies in
this particular case sis that there was not a
