that made citizens who recalled the patent

Their reasons for dread became evident.
The door and window frames were all con-
strueted of wood. instead of iron. as is the
case with practically every modern build

coverings were likewise of wood instead of
iron and tile, as the modern rules of con-
struction demand Combustibles of every
character were heaped into the pile, as
though to make a huge bonfire at some
later period. Last winter when the abor-
tive attempt to investigate the history of
this construction was begun by the Senate
some attention was directed In the ques-
tioning on the one day of the committees

struction. The official assertion was then
made on behalf of the plans as they were

The Alabama View of Wheeler

Ex-Gov. Oates told representative of
The Star yesterday that the people of Ala
banaa regretted the departure of Gen
Wheeler for the Philippines; that. in their
opinion, he should have remained at home
and helped compose the democratic guard
in that state. Isn't this a parochial view
OF the matter? Isn't it unworthy of peo-
pie who of recent years have contributed
such broadm:nded and patriotic men to the
public service as Wheeler and Morgan and
Oates? Has not Gen. Wheeler chosen
wisely? Did not his duty call him to the
Philippines, where the national interests
are at stake, rather than to Alabama
where a few politicians are wrangling over
control of the machine" and where the
local interests would probably best be
served by the defeat OF both factions and
the summoning Of new men?
Asked as to the rumor that Gov. john
ston will declare Gen. sWheeler's seat in
Congress vacant and order an election to
ill IT. Gov. Oates replied that there had
as yet been no decision on that point 1t

The German Vote In Ohio.


The Star referred few days ago to a
rumnr that the hope of democratic success
in Ohio this year is based on an expected
detection of German-Americans who have
heretofore affiliated with the republicans
In yesterdays newspapers appeared this
dispatch from Canton, the home of the
President:
In response to a call issued in the Ohio
Volks Zeitung. a democratic newspaper Il
meeting was held in Turner Hall last night
and resolutions were adopted declaring
against the war in the Philippines and any
manner of alliance with Great Britain Ed
itor Won Lanberg of the Volks Zeitung
called the meeting to order and Joseph
Brechele presided. Short addresses were
made by several persons. and the senti-
ments expressed were embodied in resolu-
lions. These resolutions are to be sent to
the President and to all German churches
lodges and societies in the city. and the
committee appointed for the purpose was
authorized TO call a general mass meeting
at later date"
Putting the rumor and this dispatch to-
gether. there appears good reason for the
belief that especial play is to be made by
the democracy for German-American sup
port. 1t cannot be said, however, to have
been very happily inaugurated. To protest
against one thing which is already in exist
ence and inevitably must continue and
against another which not only does not
exist but has never been contemplated. is
almost absurd proceeding The only
war in the Philippines is the effort to put
down armed resistance to American au-
thority. Do these Cantonians desire the
President TO withdraw the troops and the
ships and permit Aguinaido to have his
way? AS FOR an alliance with Great Brit
ain. nothing of the kind has ever been con-
templated. The yarn had its origin among
the enemies of the administration last year.
and was promptly denied. 1t was scarcely
worthy of a denial.
But there are questions to which the Ger
man-Americans of Ohio should give heed.
and they are of vital domestic moment
One Of them is sound money. That ques-
ton has lost none of it's Importance since
1896 Mr.. Bryan is still preaching free sill
yer. and is by far the most influential man
in his party. His nomination for the presi-
dency is more than likely. The choice for
the American voter, therefore is still be-
tween sound money and free silver. The
state elections this year will all have
bearing on the national election next year.
Especially is this true of the election in
Ohio The German-Americans are as
rule. sound money men. So, whom will they
support in Ohio this year-Mr. Mclean,
whose success would be a silver triumph,
or Judge Nash, whose success will be
gain for sound money?
AS the campaign proceeds it will probably
be made plain that the German-American
of Ohio are still on the side of sound money
and in favor of the assertion of American
authority wherever the American flag flies.

Gen. WheeIer's Example,
From the Memphis Appeal.

a
General Wheeler has set a good example
to his countrymen. While some are going
about complaining of the government. he
is defying the infirmities of age and the
dangers of tropical climate in order to
suppress rebellion against the flag of his
country and compel respect for it's laws.
In justice to the young men of the coun-
try it must be said for them that they are
not slow in following the example set them
by General Wheeler. Among these is the
generals own son, who seems to be chip
off the old block. The recruiting agents
have been besieged, and when the new
agencies open the President will find that
his additional regiments will be raised as
soon as he can provide transports for them.
The Philippine instruction is going to be
put down. What is being done now should
have been done long ago, but better late
than never, and what was not done at
the proper time must now be done at a
later time The Tagals will not pursue
their reasonable instruction very long
when they see Uncle Sam getting his dam
der up in real earnest. They will know
that as soon as General Wheeler arrives
there will be business. The country Is
proud of Grand Joe Wheeler.
