Justice Among the Counties.

The reduction of the county tax rate by the board of revenue will be duly appre- ciated by taxpayers; but 1t is question whether the board is not putting on the taxpayers of the county an undue share of state taxation. The true valuation is sup posed to be the basis of assessments, but each county has its own standard of true valuations" If one property holder re- turns his property at forty per cent. of its market value, the tendency in his neigh bors to line up with him becomes irresisti- ble and finally epidemic. Each one stills his conscience and publicly justifes his ac- tion by that of tine property holder first mentioned.
 Each county has its own standard. and strangely enough no lawmaker has att tempted to bring about equilization in as- sessments. One county robs another at pleasure. Other states have boards of equalization. and justice instead of rob- bery abong the counties becomes the rule. There is an abundance of statutes and ex- perience in the forty-five states to go by, and the present chaotic and inequitable system of taxation in this state is inexcus- able.
 The board of revenue should not make haste in raising assessments until the legis- lature adopts some plan that will prevent one county from robbing another. Jeffer- sons assessments may have been too low; The Age-Herald has no opinion to express on that point; but that they have been other counties is not credible. So far as those counties are concerned any increases are relief from state taxation and an unjust burden upon home taxpayers.

ticket was satisfactorily completed. al- though Colonel KiIbourne. who had been Mr. AcLeans ohlef rival. refused to accept the nomination for lieutenant governor.
 MT. Mclean spends a good deal of his time in Washington, and is well known in all parts of the country. He is as promi- nent and influential in national politics as he Is in state or local matters In Cincin- nati he is ever ready to assist the masses against the classes. and his hand is al- ways open. He is one of the freest givers in his native city His success in con- ducting a great daily paper is sufficient evidence of his capacity to conduct a gu- bernatorial or any other office.
 Mir. Mclean has taken the laboring oar in a difficult year. President Mckinley lives in Ohio. and he is now trying to arouse state pride again. Only once since 1883 has the state gone democratic. This was in 1889, when Governor Campbell was elected by a plurality of 10S72 votes Since that time the state has gone republican. Last year the republicans carried 1t by 61,-
 
 1s9 plurality; in 1897 by plurality of 2S l65; in 1896 President Mckinley received plu- raiity of 47.497; in 1895 he was elected gov ernor by 92,622 plurality. and in 1884 tele republicans reached high-water mark with a plurality Of i37.OS7.
 This year Toledo Sam Jones is in the field as an independent candidate, and his gains from either party must be left to conjecture, for he Is untried quantity in state politics. If MT. Mclean can put enough snap into the canvass to enable him to win out he will deserve all the praise and all the credit that can be ac- corded him. He knows how difficult the task is, and the fact that he is willing to face it is evidence that he thinks the demo- crats have at least fighting chance.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR OTIS
From the New York Journal.

CIOh lhe lNeW 1OTk JOuTndl
 Our new sultan of Jolo may not be a de- sirable acquisition. but he has one man on his staff worth talking about. His name is Datto Mundi and he is described as able, educated and thoroughly loyal to American interests.
 And he is a fighter in the bargain. He asked permission of General Bates to drive the rebels from Zamboanga, the capitol of the island of Mindanao. He was told that the troops would soon be sent there. But Datto Mundi has no Shafter strain in him. He did not wait for endorsements, but led his small force against the insurgents, killed thirty of them and whipped them thoroughly.
 If we cannot do any better President Mc- Kinley might get one of these brave aud talented natives to take Otis place. They seem at least willing to fight.

Mir. McKinIey's Great Blunder.

President McKinleys Pittsburg speech was more explicit and more definite than his Ocean Grove utterances. He said:
 "The first blow was struck by the in- surgents. Our kindness was reciprocated with cruelty, our mercy with Mauser The flag of truce was invoked only to be dishonored. Our soldiers were shot down when ministering to the wounds or the Filipinos. Our humanity was interpreted as weakness. our forbearance as cowardice They assailed our sovereignty and there will be no useless parley-no pause until the instruction Is suppressed and Ameri- can authority acknowledged and estab- lished. The misguided followers in rebel lion have only our charity and pity. AS to the cruel leaders who have needlessly sac rificed the lives of thousands of their peo- pie at the cost of some of our best blood for the qualification of their own ambitious designs I will leave to others the ungrac- ious task of justification and eulogy."
 The first blow was struck in so misty a manner that. like the blow that befell Billy Patterson, no one knows who struck 1t. There Is an impression on all hands that President Mckinley himself got us Into this nasty Philippine mess through lack of tact and skill in dealing with the Fill pinos It is believed that if he had treated them as he has since treated the sultan or Sulu war would not have resulted. Unless the facts are greatly misunderstood the blame for this miserable affair rests upon the man who very bluntly gave the Fili- pinos the choice between war and "benevo- lent assimilation"
 But let that pass. MT. Mckinley goes on to say that the instruction must be sup pressed. So it must, now that adminlstra- tion blundering has gotten us into 1t. All are agreed on that point MT. Bryan is as emphatic on that point as MT. Mckinley is. But the trouble is. MT. Mckinley is emphatic in words and not in acts. If the instruction Is to be quickly suppressed. General Miles or some other competent commander should be sent to take the place of fussy Otis whose ridiculous vic- tories are only matched by his want of Judgment as to the number of men needed in the Philippines. In no respect has Gen eral Otis proven trustworthy. His advice was as bad as ms actS III tne heiu "eio unsatisfactory. As long as such man IS retained, and General Miles is kept at home, not much progress towards the sup pression of the insurrection need be ex- pected. To increase the army without putting a competent man at its head Is the heighth of unwisdom and this administra- tion Is quite capable of reaching ana rest ing on that height.

MORGAN ON THE CANAL

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Senator Morgan believes the Ncarauga canal will do more for the south than all other efforts combined Tn his letter rela- tive to attending the approaching industrial convention, the senator said:
 "A cotton port at Manila that will en- able us to reach the Orient with our cot ton and cotton goods and our provisions and supplies with the enormous expendi- ture we are making and have so long en- dured in the tribute to Liverpool as our point of distribution to Asiatic consumers must be a great factor in the progress of American productions and manufacturers"
 Senator Morgan wants to see cotton and cotton goods from the fields and mills land- ed at Savannah. Mobile. New Orleans and Galveston direct for Manila via the Nica- ragua canal. The Mercury believes the senator will live to see his hope realized.

THE SULTAN OF sULU

Washington Correspondence of the Chicago
 Tribune
 An interesting story was afloat this af- ternoon in connection with the agreement made between the Sultan of Sulu and this government by which the sultan should re- ceive a salary from Uncle Sam It was to the effect that an arrangement had been made with the Sultan of Turkey to use his influence with the Sultan Of Sulu and in- duce the latter to recognize the sovereigu- ty of this government In return for Ghis kind offices this government. 1t was said, agreed not to press it's claims for indem- nity for the outrages perpetrated upon American missionaries and the destruction of their property in Turkey with too much harshness
 The Sultan of Sulu and his followers are Mohammedans, and as the Sick Man of the East belongs to the same sect, he is looked upon by the Moros after fashion as the rhead of their religion
 As the story goes. MT. Strauss. the Amer lean minister at Constantinople, made the agreement with the Turkish sultan's rep resentatives. and word was sent to the Sultan of Sulu to bow to the will of the United States. This was interpreted fin the nature of an order, and when. General Bates arrived at the palace of the sultan the savage was in a conciliatory mood. and ready to yield to any demand provided. however, he should not be deprived of giis income. It was an easy matter, therefore, for the army officer to reach a satisfactory agreement and arrange the details by which the sultan should yield his territory to his brother
 At the state department. many inquiries were made as to the truth of the story, but the officials professed to know nothing of 1t.

ALL HONOR TO PICoUART

From the Boston Transcript.
 Colonel Picquart bids fair to become one of the historical figures of the century. He fas faithful found to the ideals of truth and honor where all around was faithless- ness He did not admire Dreyfus. In fact. he lnnew him but slightly and never liked him. He made his discoveries in the line of his duty, and simply did what an honest man would do, uninspired by any personal interest in the victim. Colonel Picquart has suffered much for righteousness sake. as for righteousness he labored. His re- ward will be sufficient for him if 1t is only his own conviction of duty done. Picquart is the only man who has thus far appeared on the witness stand in this trial who an- swers to what Americans and Englishmen mean by the phrase "'officer and gentle man." ,..

 Foreign newspapers to hand have been playing sad pranks with Birmingham's own Dr. Robert H. Moseley, United States consul-general at Singapore. When the great Dewey on the famous Olympia. call- ed at Singapore, the consul-general was, as in duty bound, largely in evidence He, with no little physical effort, obeyed the law governing eonsuIs, and called upon the admiral on board ship-no easy matter, considering the doctors genial rotundity. Upon leaving the ship the doctor received the customary salute of nine guns from the famous battery. After all this, some of those stupid foreign papers referred to our consul-general as I'll. Mosey." Alas! alasl Byron said that fame consisted of ''being killed in battle and having your name spelled wrong in the gazette"

PROSPERITY IN ALABAMA

From the Washington Post.
 ''The iron industry in my district" said Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, member of congress from Birmingham, Ala, at the Wellington, is enjoying a remarkable era of prosperity. This enormous demand for iron has sent prices soaring. and at $17 a ton the manufacturers are making huge profits. Wages have advanced also, and laborers in the furnaces and rolling mills are getting their share in the good times. We have a mammoth new steel plant that will be finished in October. which will add greatly to the prestige of our city as the industrial center of the south.
 Politically, there is but little agitation in Alabama. though a gubernatorial cam paign is in progress. The democracy of our state is as firmly devoted to MT. Bryan as ever, and will send delegation to the national convention absolutely committed to his candidacy"
