John Tyler Faorgan's Successor.

Georgia and South Carolina on the one
side now select United States senators in
primaries, the consolidated vote acting as
instructions to the democratic members of
the respective legislatures; and Mississippi
has practically determined to do likewise
Thirty-eight counties have already ordered
primaries in which the people, instead of
knots of politicians, are to express their
preferences for an United States senator,
thus defining the action of their representa-
tives in the legislature. These thlrty-eight
mississippi counties have ninety votes in
tie legislature which is a majority of the
two houses, there being 1879 votes on joint
ballot. Six other Mississippi counties are
altogether Mississippi will doubtless accept
the new political progress.
SO will Alabama. If John Tyler Morgans
seat in the senate is to be taken.away from
him, it should be done by the people, and
not by court house cliques and state house
schemers. The building up of personal ma
chimes can be crushed or nuliifed by action
similar to that of Mississippi, Georgia and
South Carolina. The people of Alabama
should wake up and demand their rights.
They should shake off the chains that poll
ticlans have put upon them. They should
strike down the first man and every man
who attempts to deprive them of the right
of selecting their own representative in
the United States senate. They have been
deprived of choice in the matter of con-
stitutional convention, and the fashion
should be checked before 1t spreads any
farther. Direct action by the people Is the
safety of the state and of the republic. All
experience shows that any and all interyen-
ton between the people and power is dan
gerous and full of schemes and corrup-
tion. All unnecessary intervention should
be abolished, and the election of an United
States senator by sixty-six knots of poll
ticians manipulated by cabal at Mont
gomery is absolutely unnecessary, and
should be discountenanced. The people in
each county should make their will in this
matter plain. 1t will then be respected.

SENATOR HARRIS ON 1900
Washington Correspondent of the chica

Washington Correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune.
Expansion policies will be the principal
issue of the next campaign said Senator
Harris, the Kansas populist "While I
cannot now predict the platform of next
year, it will oppose the foreign policy Of
the administration, condemn trusts, and
point out that a high protective tariff
breeds and maintains trusts, the worst
blight of this country today. The financial
policy will play a more important part
than is now expected If the republicans
pass certain legislation at the coming ses-
sion. If they attempt the abolition Of
greenbacks the finances will furnish a
leading issue.
81 do not mean to say that the opposition
to the republican party will abandon free
silver That will never be done, and the
party doing so would lose the south and
west. But believe the country recognizes
that new evils have arisen and some of
these are more acute than free silver.
"W. J. Bryan is unquestionably the lead
er of the opposition forces and he will be
nominated by the democrats and populists.
There is no distinction between Bryan
democrats and populists."

HUNTSVILLE.
Entire Amount to Secure Merrimock
Cotton Mills Has Been Subscribed

Huntsville, May 20.-(special.)- 1.-THE en-
tire amount of $1,000 necessary to secure
the location of the Merrimao mills has been
subscribed by the business men and citl-
zens. The deal of securing the mills Is
now nearing the close and nothing remains
for the citizens of Huntsville to do but
clear the title to a small tract of land
near Brahan spring, the proposed site of
the mills. This will either be done in court
or a number of citizens will make bond
so that the title shall be cleared and in
that case work on the mills is expected to
begin within ten fifteen days.
Among the liberal subscriptions received
was one from the William Gerst Brewing
company for 500.
In the circuit court yesterday NJ. J..
O'Shaunessy, Jr., filed suit against MCGEE

horribly mangled by freight train at the
passenger depot year ago.

THE PARTY WILL ACT

From the Butler Herald. -
Never in Alabama has there been such
a travesty on justice than the result of the
recent conspiracy between Johnston and
his fiunkies at Montgomery. No democratic
governor of Alabama has ever prostituted
the functions of his office as has the pres
emit incumbent. This extraordinary act on
the part of the governor and his henchmen
has dumbfounded and Inundated The de-
mocracy of Alabama, and it can scarcely
be doubted that the party will at the first
opportunity repudiate those men who have
openly defied her mandates. Johnston $
vacilating policy for selfish ends must
cease, or the party will suffer.

REFLECTIONS OF "a BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
One reason women can have so many
griefs is that they get over them so
quickly.
When woman goes to the devil the best
fun she has out of it is in making her
family believe she isn't.
The man who has just started his new
vegetable garden in the country Is the only
living thing that is worse bore than the
father of his first baby.
The more a man let's on that he is wicked
the more a woman thinks he is only trying
to conceal some virtues; If he keeps still
about it she is sure he Is plotting deviltry.

From the Bessemer Herald.
The extraordinary" (expensive) session
of the legislature reached the end of its Ia
bors yesterday evening al o'clock. 1t was
in session IA days and did nothing but
repeal the constitutional convention. act,
but it has cost the tax payers of the state
$13 066.3S. There was no amendment adopt
ed regarding the suffrage question, and the
governor has the credit of doing the thing
upl We know that he feels as IL he had
just woke up from q grieyous nightmare,
and everybody knows that that $1S 600
would have given several of Alabama 8
poor children a liberal education. But it
is too late now.

From the calera Sentinel.
The extra session of the legislature has
ended. After a session of fourteen days,
and at cost of s1s.o66.SS to the people Of
the state, on yesterday at p. M, 1t ad-
journed The result of this extra ordinary
session was simply and solely the repeal of
the constitutional convention call. This and
nothing more? Was this all? No. The
harmony of the democratic party has been
disturbed strife and contention engendered,
and the enemies of pure ballot cheered
and encouraged, and nothing good or that
will in any way rebound to the advance
ment of the best interests of the state ac-
complished.

SPEAKERS WITH FAULTY EYEsIenT

From the Peoria fierald-Transcupt.
In choosing a speaker, like choosing a
horse, attention should be paid to the eye
sight. There were times when Speaker
Reed was totally unable to see demo-
crat. 1t was serious trouble with some
statesmen. Speaker Sherman of the Illi-
nois house was troubled in the same way.
1t is queer, because democrats, as rule,
are at least physically as large as repub-
icans.

OLAA SQUATTERS.

The question of the Olaa squatters
rights is very likely to become one of
the first causes celebres" under the
reorganization of the Islands. The
rights of the matter will be judged in
the courts and will probably come be-
fore the United States Supreme Court
in the long run. The Star does not de-
sire to enter into the merits of the case,
which will be argued by able lawyers
on both side. The matter may even re-
quire congressional action. There can
be no doubht about its importance.
In this connection it may be pointed
out that the affair never occupied the
important position it now does here,
until the republication in the columns
of the press of the opinion of the At
torney-General of the United States.
This is the advantage of publicity. The
Attorney Generals opinion was deliv-
cred with reference to reservation of
lands for the war department@and had
in his mind no bearing upon the Olaa
squatter claims, but the publicity given
to his views, has given the Olaa squat
tiers an opportunity to fortify their po-
sition. Without the assistance of the
public press, many a good point might
be overlooked.
/ The Newland's resolution refers to
/ the pubic lands of Hawaii in the fol-
| lowing terms:
| Existing laws of the United States
relative to public lands shall not apply
to such lands in the Hawaiian Islands;
but the Congress of the United States
shall enact special laws for their man
agement and disposition, provided that
all revenue from or proceeds of the
same, except as regards such a part
I thereof as may be used or occupied by
civil, military or naval purposes of the
United States, or may be assigned for
use of the local government, shall be
| solely for the benefit of the inhabitants
of the Hawaiian Islands for educational
and other public purposes"

The turning of the stream into the
harbor instead of allowing it to dis
charge over the flats as it had been
doing has not improved matters. The
deposit of mud keeps coming in as fast
as ever the dredger can get it out. Near
one of the wharves where a depth of
25 feet was dredged only two years ago,
there is but p feet now. The wiseaCres
who wanted the stream turned into the
harbor, and carried their point held
that it was necessary in order to keep
the water of the harbor from becoming
stagnant. 1t is not the Nuuanu stream
which keeps the water from becoming
stagnant, but the tide, three feet high,
which rolls over the reef twice a day,
every day in the year; as long as as the
tides continue the water of the harbor
would never be stagnant.

vrstmynts on these Islands ana their
capabilities are very little known Any
One who goes away from the group roe
alizos this very quickly Among the
capitalists OF the world the Islands are
practically unknown. The very exubcr-
auco of the returns upon investments
here make capital doubtful, because
they seem So large as to be incredible,
and they are looked upon askance on
that account But the time will come
when investments out here will be
thoroughly understood, and then those
who have been able to carry their fl
nancial burdens through the present de-
pressed period will reap a rich reward.
There are those amongst us VINO de-
cry our own prosperity. There are ever
people of this character in all commune
ties. To such minds it is hateful to
see the success of those around them,
and they strive to talk down, and write
down the efforts of those who are striv-
ing to advance. But the stability of the
Islands is assured. No exuberance of
soil, no climatic conditions, no natural
resources were of great avail as long
as the Islands remained in an uncer-
tain condition, politically. Since that
uncertainty was removed it is only only
a question of time to put their enter
prizes in the foremost ranks of invest
ment. The same story will be true Of
what ever place American energy and
American Government and institutions
take possession. 1t is true in Cuba, in
Porto Rico, and will be true in the Phil
ippines. 1t will show more readily in
the Hawaiian Islands, because, fortu-
nately for themselves, they have been
in a condition to take advantage
more of the stable conditions. They
had prepared themselves for the
change. Let our conditions be once tho
roughly realized away from here, and
outside the narrow circle that has to
deal with US, and however desirable
Cuban investments will be, Hawaiian
investments will be even more sought
after, because the conditions here do
not present the uncertainties which for
many years to come Cuba will present.
