soon after Inauguration would be ask
ing congress for an army of 100000 men
to subiugate and reduce people 1000
miles from our shores who were en-
deavorlng to establish government
for themselves, he would not have re-
ceiyei single electoral vote in any
state. If the senators on the other side
now advocating the policy Of expansion
had been told that they would thus
depart from the principles of the decla-
ration of Independence they would
have repudiated the idea as unworthy
of them"
The bill passed granting extra pay to
the officers and men of the temporary
force In the navy--two months extra
to those who served beyond the limits
of the U. S. and one months pay to
those who served within the United
States.

session and Senator Gray advocated the
ratification of the peace treaty, ex-
planning bis attitude in the Paris cen
ference.
Bacon, Democrat, of Georgia, an
nounced that he would not vote for the
ratification Of the treaty unless some
declaratory resolution against tue per-
manent occupation or the Philippines
was adopted by the senate and house
and signed BY the President. Teller
said THAT will determine my vote,
which indicated that he would vote for
the ratification of the treaty.

Party Faith and Party Discipline.

The inspired Montgomery Journal Is en- gagged in explaining and defining what it is pleased to call "a wise policy" This pol icy, when analysed is found to be that a man can be a member of the democratic party, although he opposes the official dec larations of that party as to pending is- sues. He can be democrat and vote with the republicans and middle-of-t the-roaders. lie can be democrat in party designation when he is not on the hustings or at the polls. This is what it calls liberty of con sciences.
 Never did party speak more plainly as to an issue before the people than did the democratic party of Alabama in conven- ton assembled on the twenty-ninth day of last month. If the plain, explicit and unqualified declarations of that convention did not bind the party, then nothing can bind the consciences of it's members. When man joins party, he does not go into 1t to raise the banner of revolt. He agrees to abide by its declarations while he remains in it, just as a man who joins a church &C., cepts its particular creed until he decides to leave its communion. The declarations of the state convention rest upon the con sciences of every member of the party and no man can conscientiously disobey its dec larations unless he first leave the party. This is not the party lash, as the inspired Journal would hayethe people of Alabama consider it-but common truth and common -fattn that that is accepted in all organiza- tions, whether social, religious, political or what not It is in fact common honesty and common sense. No democrat can fail to support the demands of his party.

SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 The work of removing the s60, GOO, 900 In silver from the old mint to the vault in the new mint will be begun at once. Di- rector Of the Mint Roberts said Friday that the speedy removal of the silver was nec- essary. owing to the crowded condition C the old mint. The coin will be transports ed through the streets in covered and guarded treasure vans. There is no danger in stor- ing the silver in the vault of the unfinished new building, MT. Roberts sad, because the vault is finished and as safe from at tack as it ever will be. It was accepted by the government few days ago. The electrical apparatus of the vault is com plete, and in addition it will be constantly guarded by watchmen. The $60, GOO 000 in silver that are to be moved have S lver cer- tificates outstanding against them, and once they are stored away in their new home 1t will probably be years before they are disturbed again.

the mortgage becomes a fixed charge on productions, and that goes to the capital ists. The stock is watered by the million, and that Is manipulated by the gambler. Both unite to destroy competition. absorb profit, crush individual enterprise, purchase legislatures, corrupt the judiciary, secure discrimination in freight rates, reduce wages and wage-earners, swell the army of the unemployed, who crowd the profes- sions, struggle for recognition by the few independent pursuits not yet captured and elamor for the crumbs which drop from official tables"

MORE IMPORTANT THAN COTTON.

From the Gadsden Times-News.
 The corn crop should be regarded as a more important one than cotton, or any other crop on the farm. It should receive such intelligent attention and care in it's planting and future cultivation as will give the best results. Recognizing as we do the great importance of the corn crop in the future welfare of our farming oper- ations, let us determine to plant an in- creased acreage to each blow and remain steadfast in our purpose to give it the con- spicuous place in our future planting. It is one of the essentials most necessary in successful farming. It constitutes one of the times, which, if forced to buy, increase the annual supply bill and cuts a big slice from the cotton sales at settling time. Few farmers have made success who did not raise all the supplies which could be profitably grown on their farms. Corn Is not very strong feeder and should either be planted on land of naturally rich fertility or well fertilized if planted on thin land. In the absence of rich bottom land. it is decidedly best to devote acreage of the best uplands to the corn crop.

Turk and Christian Aqain.

Now that Crete has secured home rule and independence through the belated ac- tion of the powers, Macedonia is moving. The Macedonian committee see that their hope lies in creating a condition of anarchy which will call for the intervention of the powers in order to prevent a break-up. which they are not ready for. The Mace- donians know they cannot cope with the Turks single-handed, but they believe they can create trouble enough to bring in inter- vention.
 The collision between Turkish and Bull garian troops on the frontier of Prince Ferdinand is believed to be a part of the Macedonian programme. Macedonia is full of Greeks and Bulgarians, and Bulgaria doubtless hopes to acquire Macedonia. in- cluding the port of Salonica on the Egean sea- Whether or no Prince Ferdinand's ambition will thus be realized depends. however, upon Russian intentions, and. Austria-Hungary's plans. The latter has long coveted Salonica, and so doubtless has Russia.
 It is only known that the Christians of Macedonia are determined to precipitate a revolution for the purpose of bringing in the intervention of the powers hoping in that way to either secure their independ- ence, or annexation to Bulgaria. Anarchy and oppression and desperate fighting be- tween Turks and Christians would assured ly reopen the eastern question, and that is what Macedonia is doubtless seeking. and Bulgaria is helping her in the attempt.
