Old Times Returninq.

The white men of the state are coming together again under the time-honored banner of democracy. In the light of the race troubles in the two Carolinas, all see the need of standing together, at least un- til the state is rid of the incubus of a heavy, unintelligent vote, and this is lead- ing men who had joined~the populist party to come back to the stronger and more effective party of the two.
 The Age-Herald trusts that this excellent and promising movement will be promoted in the approaching caucus of democratic representatives in Montgomery. There are about seventeen populists in the legisa- ture, and a good share of them will, 1t is thought, seek readmisson to the old hls- toric party If they are democrats in principle, they should be taken in. No better evidence of their democracy is per haps available, than the manner in which they voted in the recent congressional elections
 The state executive committee has stead fastly endeavored to reunite the white men of the state, and the democratic members of the general assembly will assuredly do all they can conscientiously do towards attaining result that is very desirable and very feasible. The Age-Herald hopes to hear that the general assembly will be hereafter divided on the old party lines, making it substantially democratic. There may be few exceptions, just enough per haps to illustrate the ruling principles of the two branches of the legislature

iicans in the latter half of Mir McKinley's term iz not an unmixed evil. The control of the south would have given the demo- crats no affirmative power, and If they had secured 1t, the republicans would have un- loaded on 1t all their shortcomings. As the two houses will stand after the fourth day of March, the republicans must shoul- der all the responsibility, both of commits sion and omission, and not a bit of it can be cast on the democrats. They control the executive. legislative and judicial de- partments, and they must answer to the people in November, 1900. for tehir conduct of them, and for the condition of affairs in the country. and for it's position among the nations of the world. Theirs is now the responsibility, and the democrats are now critics in a powerless minority.

Mobile Bar Channel.

The Age-Herald gives place to the just complaints of Mobile as expressed in the Mobile Register:
 It is now learned that the amount of money recommended by the chief of en- gineers for Mobile harbor is $6 ,000 for main- tenance merely. Nothing is recommended Tor further improvement, although the engineer in charge of this district recom- mended to his chief that $200,O00 could be prohtably expended in improvement. Even this larger sum would not meet the de- mands of the commerce of this port for not only must the channel be widened and deepened but the outer bar should be dredged so as to give access to vessels of the deepest draft that navigate the gulf We have splendid harbor of refuge here and all that 1t needs is the dredging of a short passage through the bar. Mobile can easily be made the best harbor on the whole coast, deeper by three feet than any other harbor in the gulf.
 This is matter that concerns the dis tricts represented by Messrs. Bankhead and Underwood fully as much as it does the district represented by MT. Taylor. All of the state in the Warrior basin is directly interested in the improvement of Mobile harbor, and all the rest of the state is in- directly interested in 1t.
 The recommendations of the chief engin- ger will be conclusive unless Alabamas senators and representatives take hold of the matter in earnest. The condition of Mobile harbor, and slackwater navigation in the Warrior and 'Bigbee rivers have been permitted to lag long enough. Ala bama Is not receiving the attention that her mineral resources justify. Those re- sources demand clear navigation to the sea in the light of recent occurrences The conquest of Cuba and Porto Rico, and the building of a trans-oceanic canal, all call for cheap coal, cheap iron and cheap steel at a gulf port. Such articles must come from the Birmingham district. They can not be drawn from distant West Virginia, or still more distant Pittsburg or Chicago.
 Our senators and representatives should get down to business at once. Alabama has been on the waiting list too long al- ready. Mobile bar should be cut through, Mobile channel should be dredged out, and slackwater navigation in the 'Bigbee and Warrior should become an all-the-year- round reality, instead of sporadic oppor- tunity.

A Republican Congress.

The new house and the new senate will be controlled by the republicans The hors majority will be small, about ten, but If more republicans are needed. they will doubtless be promptly seated without much ado over evidence or other small matters.
 The new senate-rather the senate after March twill be absolutely in the hands of the republicans. They have gained at least six. possibly eight. senators and they will be able to outvote all their op- ponsnts when combined. The senate Is steadily drifting in the direction of capital and concentrated interests. The modern millionaire who wants a political peacock feather. finds it easier to buy in the guiss of campaign contributions a seat in the senate than to spend money in popular contest More and. more senatorial seats are sold each year, and as . rule the repub- licans do the selling, although there have been instances. as in Ohio. of sales by the democrats.
 Ths control of both houses by tho repnb.

THE PHILIPPINES IN THE ELECTION

From the Philadelphia Press.
 So far as the Philippine question is con- cerned, the administration has been well sustained in the elections. Colonel Roose- welt was perhaps as outspoken as any man in the country on the question. He had the democratic and mugwump newspapers bit- terly opposing that policy, and many other adverse influences But he carried New York. Congressman Walker of Massachu- setts, representing the district in which Senator Hoar lives, was opposed to ex- pansion, but he was defeated, although the district usually gives over 5000 republican majority. In the west, where the repubA- cans were ,outspoken in their advocacy. of expansion, great gains have been made. Several democratic senators opposed to ex- pansion have been defeated for reelection. Not a single republican has met with such a reverse. If the expansion question was in- volved in the result, then the verdict is cer- tainly favorable one

CURRENCY ISSUE
 BOBS UP AGAIN

The election last Tuesday seems to have the union. The national platform of the two parties were not made issues in any states. The republican majority in the house of representatives has been reduced to a minimum. The republicans will barely control the house, while the senate will be largely republican after the 4th of next March. The senate will, however, stand gold standard men and free coinage men. Several free coinage republican senators have been elected.
 In those states where the conduct of the war was made an issue, the candidates who , upheld the government were. as a rule, elected. Politics played very little part in this. It was an evidence of a spirit of patriotism on the part of the people of this country.
 The recent election. however, means nothing from a national political stand point. It will not affect the result two years hence one way or another. The chances at present are that the next na- tional campaign will be the last campaign fought over again. The republicans will renominate Mckinley. The democrats will renominate Bryan, and from the present out look it seems that the issues of the last campaign will be the issues of the next campaign
 When a form of government is establish ed over Hawaii, the question of what should be done with the $1, 900, 900 of silver currency of that country will have to be decided. Hawaii has but $1,000,000 of cur rency, and that is silver There is no Ha- waiian gold. The Hawaiian silver dollar passes side by side throughout the islands with the American dollar and with English gold. It is interchangeable at the banks and in commerce. When Hawaii becomes a territory, a state, of the United States, this government, by an act of con gress, must decide as to whether or not this Hawaiian silver shall be considered on an equality with the American silver dollars or whether it shall be put in the same category with the Mexican dollar, and have only bullion value Doubtless the free coinage advocates in congress will claim that Hawaii, being a part of the United States, it's money is likewise a part of the money of the United States, and shall be considered as such. The gold men will, of course, oppose this and the chances opening the money question and making it the central and all-important issue in the next campaign. THE POLITICIAN.

HIS HEROES

From the Baltimore News. Said Uncle Josh 'Yes, Dewey's great; like the way he fit first-rate. q like that feller Sampson, too; He seems to know jus what to do. '"N' also there's heap in Schley; Seems like he's got an eagle eye. '"That young chap Hobson knows his biz; He's brave as kin be-that he is.
 "N' Watson with his fyin' fleet, Seems like he'll do the job complete. q like to read about them chaps As sports them purity shoulder-straps. .Jus' makes me cut a pigeon wing When they turn loose an let Ter fling. But tain't them folks as makes me yell N lost my senses fer a spell. ''It aint them folks as makes me shout Till all the villagers turns out .'It ain't them ad-my-rals-no sir!- That makes the old blood in me stir 'It aint them commydores n sich That makes the muscles in me twich. ''It ain't them captains, peart m brave That makes my old voice misbehave. "It's them that offers life, brave chaps, Without no hope of shoulder-straps. 'It,s them that cracks cheerful joke N shows their smiles through cannon
 smoke.
 "It's them there naked, fearless boys, A-workin' in that hell of noise. ."N' pushin' death aside to say, Git out! You're always in the way "A-shootin' with so true an aim That makes Old Glory glad it came "Then1 is the boys fer Uncle Josh The boys behind the guns b'gosh!"

IT WOULD NOT WORK
Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 The populist party in Alabama, once a formidable organization, will be without a congressman in the next house. The denn- ocrats carried all the nine districts of the state yesterday, defeating the populist candidate in the solitary district at present represented by Howard, popuist. There was time when the republicans and pop ulists affiliated rather closely in Alabama, certain northern republicans believing that the mining districts could be brought to support fusion candidates on protection platform, and sending emissaries into the state to preach sort of free silver high tariff gospel The combination would not work, however, and Alabama once more sends a solid democratic delegation to Washington.

pHfLADELPHIA's MONEY BAGS

From the New York Press.
 I have been informed that there are in Philadelphia no less than 145 who are worth $1 ,0O0, 900 apiece, and twenty whose estates exceed in value $5, 5,OOO,O00. The richest man in the Quaker City is beelieved to be Will liam Weightman, whose firm, Powers x Weightman, cornered the quinine market when all the world thought it the only cold and fever cure He is worth sl0,0OO,OOO. John Wanamaker presses him hard with seven figures. In New York we have heard there are 400 millionaires, and l have not much doubt of it, but their fortunes are not up in the hundreds of millions. don't be- lieve John Rockefeller is worth OOO,OOO, but nearer S14OO ,00O I doubt if Jack Astor is worth a dollar over $35 900 GOO, although he is set down at $1O0, 100000. Does any sane man believe that Levi P Morton is worth $25, ,000, ,000?

WHY SOUTHERN MILLS SUCCEED

From the Boston Journal of Commerce. It is true the southern cotton mills as a rule make money, but how do they do it? In the first place, the non-productive ex-. pense of a southern mill is not near as high as it is in the north. Then they are most of them new mills, or nearly so, and those that are not new Chat is, the suc- cessful ones), have thrown out their old machinery and put new in it's place while here at the north there are a large number of cotton mills that are running ma chinery thirty-five and forty years old. It is not to. be expected that New England mills that adhere to this policy can com pete with the southern mill.

MISSOURI IN THE SENATE

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The election of Senator Cockrell. of Missouri, is said by the dispatches to be assured. It would have been pleasure for the Inquirer to note the election of a republican from that state, but as that ap- pears to be- impossible, the return of MT. Cockrell may be philosophically accepted. His ability and experience are admitted. Missouri. by the way, is not among the states that change their senators at each senatorial election. Mr. Cockrell has been there since 1875 and MT. Vest since 1879. Roth of them, while often misguided in af- fairs of state are highly respected by their republican associates for their sincerity of purpose.

A TENNESSEE TAMALE
