Anaressiye Action from Manila.

Algerlsm has at last reused itself suffi- ciently to forward endorsements and pre- pare for strong movement against the jungle fighters of Aguinaldo The heat in the Philippines Is al- ready intense, and the rainy sea- son Is only six weeks ahead. But Alger- ism was never known to do the right thing at the right time; and all that can be said is. that A movement will be less wasteful of valuable lives than movement six weeks from now would be.
 The chances are that the Aguinalderters will not be able to withstand the attacks of our troops. It Is not believed that they have more than 10000 rifles, and their stock of ammunition is precarious. It has to run the gauntlet of Admiral Dewey's boats. Malolos Is almost within the range of the guns of the Monadnock and of the Oregon. for the latter is about due in Manila bay; and when Aguinaldo loses his capital, he will be apt to lose much of his prestige. He has no following outside of Luzon, and as soon as he can be seen driven back, and his sources of supplies cut off he will either have to disperse his men orderly or sur render. Luzon Is wholly unlike Cuba in the matter of food, and food will prove to be the destruction of Aguinaldos hopes.
 It Is believed that Gen. Lawton will be given command of the advance fighting column. This is the Lawton who fought at Santiago. It is also the Lawton who cap tured Geronimo, and broke the Apache strength. He crawled two miles over rocks and cactuses to do 1t. His strength and activity are exhaustless. It has been said that he is as hardy as broneho add al- most as tireless. He Is now in Manila, and he will soon grasp the situation.

THE EAGAN.s VACATION

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 These are troublous umes, and the coun- try is not yet free from the tolls of war, but one prominent officer of its army has been released from care, and has gone to enjoy the reward of his exertions. Miles is still in Washington, fighting enemies abroad and at home Shafter Is on depart ment duty; Otis is fighting rebels In the Philippines; Brooke and Wood and others are working hard in Cuba; but Eagan IS speeding across the continent, on his way to Hawaii, with $35, 900 at his disposal and six years in which to spend 1t as he pleases Hawaii Is a land of sunshine. One need fear neither cold nor hunger there, and to a man with Eagan's income life may be long, delicious dream. It was so easy to win all this happiness, too. Mercy Dit of vulgarity, such as comes naturally to some men; merely little insubordinatioh, such as in some armies would bring to the offender a drum-head courtmartial and file of musketry, and the reward comes Ill the shape of six years vacation with iull pay. Such is military discipline on the Agerine plan.

MISSISSIPPI POLITICS

From the Washington Post.
 "A great many unkind things have been said about General McLaurin, of our state," remarked Colonel Devereux Shields, of Natchez, Miss, at the Ebbitt Few public men in the United States, in fact, have been more bitterly assailed, and 1t is not to be denied that the governor has a well-assorted list of active enemies On the other hand, he has a list, and by no means a slender one, of as unwavering and devoted friends as any man could wish. They will fight for him with loyalty that will never swerve.
 "He is a man of the positive and de- liant type that never fails to get in dis favor with a section of his fellow-men, but it can be said of his that he is as true as steel to those who have his coEfdence. and that he always keeps his wo%. En- larged stories have been given out as to certain acts of his that have no basis in fact. It is true that he did appoint one of his brothers to ofice but not the entire seven, as has been stated by his oppo- nents.
 "A great many of our shrewd politicians are backing the governor to win the long, term senatorship, for which he is an avowed candidate. Our next legislature will elect two senators, one for the seat now held by Senator Sullivan, which is for the unexpired term of Gen. Walthall, and which terminates in 1901, and the other for full term"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 A really sweet laugh is one that you listen to after 1t has stopped.
 A man never loves but once; the other times he Is smart enough to let her do the loving.
 When woman sit in church with a sad far-away look in her eyes she isn't always thinking about heaven.
 A man can feel real comfortable with on- ly pipe, but women needs fashion pa- per, a Mother Hubbard and somebody to take down her hair.
 When man get beaten playing duplicate whist he says 1t Is so long since he played he has got rusty; when a women gets beaten she says the cards must have got changed around wrong.
 It Is impossible for a woman to be in love and to be just at the same time.
 A man generally picks out his wife about the way his wife picks out his cigars.
 No man Is ever in love with woman when he knows that he is being chased.
 No man should ever stroke his own whis- kers; if he lets them alone long enough, some woman will come and do 1t for him.
 Before she gets married woman quar- rels with a man for the sake of making up; afterward she makes up for the sake of Quarreling with h'.~>

A Convention of Lawyers

From the Eufaula Times.
 At the present writing it looks as if tine Alabama constitutional convention Is going to be merely a convention of the Alabama bar. Seventy names up to Tuesday has been mentioned in connection with the convention. Of these seventy, sixty-thres are lawyers, two are doctors, two are f1nan- flied scattering.
 The list is not absolutely correct. It leaves the name of pr. Davie out of Bar bour's candidates. There are doubtless main, however, 1t is correct It is suffi- ciently reliable to give in advance warn- ing of the personnel of the convention. In other words in every seven members there will be six lawyers
 This should not be. There should not be such an overwhelming majority of farmers or any other class. No class, fac tion, or profession Is entitled to such power It is but right and proper that the legal pro- fession should have their due representa- tion and perhaps a little more. They usually get it. We think that the result of a convention of lawyers would not be so satisfactory to the people as a constitu- tion evolved by representative men of all business walks. There is no prejudice against lawyers in this. A convention wholly of farmers, one of doctors, or of any other single class would be equally un- safe. The very statement that there are six lawyers out of every seven candidates is enough to make the voter pause.

There Is only one way to prevent it. and
 that consists in the concentration of the vote that Is opposed to militarism and military domination upon some man who can drive the entire crowd out in 1900 The Alger- Mckinley bill cannot be put through before the presidential election; 1t will not for political reasons, be attempted; but 1t will be put through if MT. Mckinley and Mir. Algeri are confirmed in their seats-if they are given four years more of power. Plutocracy demand the army bill, and Me Kinleyism is willing. even desrous. The people hold in their hands the only remedy.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Delaware and Utah Deadlocks.

The Delaware and Utah legisla lures have sented until 1901 by one senator only. The Delaware case fully illustrates the beau- ties of legislative senatorial elections. The republicans had elected a majority of the legislature, but they were split into two factions. The regular republicans would not support Addicks, and the republicans who had been elected through votes pur- chased by Gas Addicks were ordered to hang out the banner, "Addicks or nobody . They held to this to the last, and 1t proved to be nobody; Addicks had bought. as he Gray had honorably filled twelve years. and he demanded delivery of the goods. His men stood up to the contract, but a handful of ree,llar republicans would not become a party to the bargain. Nor could the regular republicans and democrats agree upon a man. The democrats would not vote for Colonel Dupont, and the reg ular republicans would not vote for MT. Gray. The Addicks republicans would vote for Gas Addicks only, because 1t was nom- mated in the bond that 1t should be "Ad- dicks or nobody"
 This is what the legislative scheme of selection leads up to-Addicks or nobody. The deadlock in Pennsylvania and Cali fornia are hold-ups of a similar nature. Buck Grant has invested his money in the California legislature, and he proposes to have the goods. The Quay fight in Penn sylvania is so rotten that it is difficult to say where the rottenness begins or ends. It is rottenness throughout
 These cases should arouse the country to action. The entire scheme of selection willing to pay handsomely for senatorial peacock feathers. It means deals and schemes in which the people have no voice, no choice, even when millionairesm does not enter into the case. There has not been a wholly straight and upright sena- torial election, in which the people repre- sented in many years. Every one of tn sented, were alone considered, in many years. Every one of them, under the pres ent system, presents more or less crook edness. Deadlocks do not often occur, but crookedness does. There Is only one way out of the crooked woods-elect United States senators in primaries The people of Georgia and South Carolina know how to do 1t, and they have no intention of going back to the deals and crookedness of former years. They have put an end to senatorial machine building, and Alabama should do likewise.

SUFFERED BY COURSE HE TOOK

From the Bessemer Weekly.
 How could 1t be conceived that the gov ernor would personally or politically benefit from appointing Kyle instead of Tomlinson as railroad commissioner? Just little or- dinary prescience or common sense would convince him or any one possessing even intelligent observation that, personally and politically. he would suffer by the course he took. In other words, it was bad per- sonal politics. for he antagonized Tomlin- sons personal friends and large portion of the press who were specially friendly to and supporters of Tomlinson by ignor- ing him in his appointments.

THE ERGOGRAPH

From the Chicago News.
 The ergograph, which 1t Is proposeds to introduce into the public shools, ought to find very large use in other directions. This admirable machine tells whether one is tired or not. It Is needless to add that it will fill long-felt want, especially as spring comes on and the difficulty of tell ing whether one is tired or only lazy in- creases daily. It is impossible to tell by the mere general feeling. Any day in June the man who sits before his desk with hol- low and lack-lustre eyes, picture of de- crepitude at 1:s0 D. n1., may be climbing over chairs in the grand stand and whoop- ing with all the vigor of young Comanche at 3:30. From May to September l an ergograph registering 300 degrees of bodily exhaustion will be worth its weight in gold in any large business house in Chicago.

Gen. Wheeler and the Army Rinq.

The two most popular generals of the war are General Joe Wheeler and General Fitzhugh Lee; and even if 1t be said that General Fitzhugh Lee did no fighting, 1t cannot be said that General Wheeler did none; and yet these two men are to be mustered out although General Wilson and other volunteers are to be retained. MT. Mckinley, who is the sole responsible par ty, Is preparing to find, in accordance with his custom, a scapegoat in the army ring. The truth is, he does not want, as the pres- idential election approaches, such popular men in the service.
 No doubt the army ring is cooperating in the matter. There is very little in the army ring Is not capable Of The charges that it has brought against General Wheel CT are all moonshine, as everybody who was at Santiago well knows. General Kent Wheeler had ordered him to retreat on the second day of the battle of Fl Caney. Gen. eral Wheeler holds the proofs that he fought under orders in the battle of La Quasina. Both of the charges have fallen fat but the army ring under Alger and Mr. Mckinley is to have It's way, and Gen. eral Lee and General Wheeler are both to be mustered out although no one in the army understands Cuba and Cubans as the former consul-general does, and no one could do more effective work in the Philip pines than General Wheeler could do, and Is desirous of doing. There Is politics in the entire business, and the hand of the old Ohio politician and the hand of the esteemed Alger can be seen sticking out of it.
 The army ring will dominate the entire country if 1t can be reinforced and render ed permanent as the administration and Algerism has planned and still desires

THE MINORITY LEADERSHIP

From the Wash1ngton Star.
 The minority will have some capable men in the next house. MT. Bankhead has par ticipated but little in debate, but he is a cool, clean and clear-headed man, and is not unlike Judge Crisp in the respect he in- spires. His associates of both parties like him. Judge De Armond is alert and az gressive, but may be @ bit too sharp of tongue at times. MT. Richardson Is an ex- perienced parliamentarian and a very ready debater, and has, besides, the quali- ties of good mixer. And then there is MT. Bailey, who, despite the action he has taken. may yet prove to be a factor in the race. He is a capital speaker, has resolu- tion and decision, and if he could arrange with the fates for a better control of his temper would be one of the most influential men in his party.

There are & dozen other candidates from the county, but the amiable and lovable and brilliant Cunningham has chased the others from this perch Dr. Cunningham is one of the most brilliant men in Alabama and most Ioyable. He is that rare bird, a politician with good, well organized soul. It goes without saying that the doctor will be on deck at Montgomery.

FTOm th6 BOStOn I1erdId,
 The queen of Italy possesses the finest lace handkerchief In existence. It Is valued at $so,oOo. and, naturally. is not in use when that lady is suffering from in- fiuenza. Three different artists. 1t Is stated, worked at this mouchoir for twenty years, and 1t is so light that 1t can hardly be felt when placed in the hand, and can be folded so small as to be placed in a gold sheath the size of a white bean. Such handkerchief Titania might envy, but after all, what a waste of time and precious eyesight it rep- resents. As a mere curiosity, 1t may be valuable, but any lover of beautiful lace other form.
