CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) is not pleas
ed with the way things are going in Cuba.
1t says; Evidently the Cuban patriots
who have not yet been appeased by Off
cial place and perquisite are wiping out
old scores by numbering Spanish sympa-
thizers and loodng their treasures and
properties. While Gen. Ludlow speeds
the cause of moral reform in Havana,
raiding dives for Parkhurst and suppress
ing salacious literature for Anthony Com
stock, the as yet unsalaried insurgents
in the interior are making sport of law
and life and property, and riveting new
manacles on the limbs of civilized society.
il is a fine muddle, to be sure, but there
is more of it to come"
OF the pending ship subsidy bill the Chi
cago Chronicle Dem.) says: Scores of
ships are owned by Americans and sailed
proftably under foreign flags without get
ting cent of bounty or subsidy from any
government. Our shipbuilders boast that
they can build better ships at less cost
than any other shipbuilders in the world
With free trade in ships, with the eXemp-
ton of shipping from excessive local tax
alton and with the repeal of our barbar-
Gus navigation laws such as no civilized
nation save ours now toerates, we would
hold our own in the oversee shipping
trade against all comers. The bounty
system is sheer. wanton robbery of Amer
lean taxpayers.
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
Primarily the war with Spain was waged
to give the Cubans the opportunity of self
rule. 1t cost us not less than $20OOO0O 900
to do the job Having succeeded i'm pro-
tecting the Cubans from further misrule
at the hands of Spain, our next task will
be TO protect ourselves from Cuba. Whilst
we have temporary control of the island
we must in se.f-defense put it in sanitary
condition. This will probably cost forty
or fifty million dollarsD but the expense
whatever it may be, should be an event.
uaI charge against the Cuban reserves"
The Springfield Cdass) Republican Qnd.)
says: Senator Bacon's question, Are
we responsible for the peace of Europe?
was well put. Are we Americans respon-
sib.e. or is Europe responsible? If Amer
lea attacks Europe Il certainly becomes
responsible for Europe's peace, but under
90 other circumstances.

The Political situation
From the Washington Times

FROM the washington Times.
The presidential campaign of 1900 is open
ing nearly year ahead of the usual time
While Mckinley and Bryan are strong fa-
vorites for the republican and democratic
nominations, there is a strong minority in
each organization that is working against
them. However if the national conven-
tions should be held within the next few
months, both Mckinley and Bryan would
probably be nominated without serious OPP
position. But the events of the next twelve
or fourteen months may change the situa-
ton materially
"Mr. Bryans friends said a Bryan man
today, Twill certainly control the demo-
cratic national convention next year. They
will organize the convention and appoint
the committee on contested seats. 1t is
safe to say that there will be contesting del
egations from New York and every state
where the men in control of the party ma
chinery refuse to endorse the Chicago plat
form of 1896. We will not admit delegates
that do not stand squarely upon the Chi
cago platform, as the point will be made
that they are not democrats. A majority
of the convention will have absolute con
troll of this matter and can act as they see
fit. Unless the anti-Bryan people can cap
ture a clear majority of the delegates to
the democratic national convention they
Will not be able to defeat Mr.. Bryan's NOM
nation, two-thirds rule or no two-thirds
rule. We do not propose to let the tail
wag the dog
The sentiment against the denomination
of William Mckinley has been gaining
some Roadway of late. Mr.. Hanna has
doubtless observed this, and 1t probably ex-
plains why he has summoned council of
the friends of the president to take imme-
diate steps to head 1t off and prevent it
from becoming dangerous As soon as SEN
ator Hanna returns from brownsville
which will be about the LIST of April, 1t is
understood he will call a meeting of the
executive committee of the republican ma
tional committee. The meeting will take
place in Washington, and the machinery of
the party will be set in motion to grind out
Mckinley delegates. In this way Senator
Hanna hopes to forestall any opposition to
Mr.. Mckinley that may be developed grow
ing out of the army and other scandals
connected with the present administration.

The election of delegates to the reunion
at Charleston was postponed until a call
meeting to be held on the last Saturday
in April. The reunion takes place on the
10th and 18th of May, and 1t was thought
this would give the delegates ample time
for preparation.
Just before the naming OF the various
committees the matter of DR.. Doziers res
ignation was taken up and discussed at
length.
Some time in last December DR.. Dozier
became offended at the action of the COM
mittee of which he was chairman In ar
ranging dinner in connection with an en-
tertainment without his knowledge 1t
seems that DR.. Dozier had made arrange
ments for musical and literary pro-
gramme and that the committee had de-
cided not to have a dinner. According ID
his statement, notwithstanding this fact,
two members of the committee got tlp tho
dinner and he knew nothing about It until
a few hours beforehand Being indignant

ALABAMA'S SPONSOR.
Two Birmingham Girls, as Fair as Any
in the South, to Represent This State.

Miss Louisa Chisolm, of Birmingham, has
been chosen sponsor for the Alabama di-
vision to represent this state In Charles
ton, and Miss Velma Enslen, also of Biz
mlngham, is Miss Chisolm's maid of honor
Two handsomer girls than these two could
not be found, and they will represent the
great state of Alabama right worthily.
The Daughters of the Confederacy have
asked General Gordon, the COMMUNICATIVE
chlet OF the veterans, to forbid any division
from having more than one sponsor and
one maid of honor. The gallant com
mander, however, says that he will not
issue any such order, and on the contrary
urges each department, division, brigade
ana camp In the whole south to send a
sponsor to the reunion If possible. But it
is understood that only the sponsor from
each division and her maid of honor will
be entertained by the managing committee
at Charleston.

the doctor rendered his resignation to 1.-THE
camp and in explanation of his action wrote
them a letter, in which he used some very
strong language. His resignation was ac-
eepted and he was dropped from the roll
of the camp. At the meeting yesterday
afternoon he made a long talk, In which
he said he was sorry for the hasty words
used and that he did not mean any refiec7
ton on the camp as a body, but merely
meant it for the two especial members, and
that he was sorry for that now.
General Johnston then offered a resolu-
ton which rescinded the action taken in
February, and DR.. Dozier was unanimous
ly restored to membership. A resolution
was then offered accepting his apology and
all shook hands over the unfortunate af-
fair.
At the close of the meeting General Fer
guson rose to a point of personal privilege
and stated that it had been intimated by
a certain camp that he had gotten a few
members of the Alabama delegation to-
gether in the kimball house during the re-
union in Atlanta and had himself elected
major general. AS a matter of fact, the
meeting was announced several times be-
forehand and he was elected over his pro-
test and after he had rendered his reslg-
nation, as was testified to by several men,
bers. General Richardson of Huntsville
was the main person offended, as he was
not reelected brigadier general A COM
mittee was then appointed to write him
letter explaining the circumstances. A mo-
ton was unanimously carried vindicating
General Ferguson. and the meeting ad-
journed to meet on the last Saturday in

ARCHIVES OF THE STATE.
Brandon's Plan to Replace Those De-
stroyed by Wilson's Raiders.

It is a we'll known fact that when Will
sons raiders were approaching Montgom-
cry in the spring of 1865, most of the arch
ives of the state, including all of the mus
ter rolls of the troops then in the service
of the Confederate States, were removed
to Eufaula and hidden in some out of the
way place. The result was that those most
important documents were lost or de-
stroyed, and nearly all of the military of
the state is left to the memory of the sur
vivors of the war.
Colonel William w. Brandon, the adju-
tant-general of the state, has adopted a
systematic plan to replace these lost rec
ords. He will communicate with every
camp in the Alabama division, and appeal
to all veterans to furnish him with all the
information at their command. Old mus
ter rolls, pay-rols old time newspa-
pers and the like will be most valuable
contributions.
The main object of the organization of
the Confederate veterans, is to supply ma
terial for the use of future historians of
Alabama, and an excellent opportunity is
now presented to them to accomplish this
object
Colonel Brandon will issue a circular on
this subject in the near future. and when
1t is distributed around to the various
camps, they will no doubt cooperate with
MIN heartily in carrying out his plan.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, is Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are SO common and in
most cases SO obstinate to cure, that peo-
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be radical permanent
cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness in
never being humbugged, especially in medi-
cines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far-so far, In fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally used
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different In one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret pat
ent medicine--no secret is made of their in
gredients-but analysis shows them to con-
tain the natural digestive ferments, pure
aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden
Seal, bismuth, hydrastls and nux They
are not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure indi-
gestion on the common-sense plan of d.
costing the food eaten thoroughly before IL
has time to ferment, sour and cause the
mischief This Is the only secret of their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles, be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
reals digest the food. That Is all there is
to it. Food not digested or half-digested is
poison, as II creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh
and appetite, and many other troubles
which are often called by some other name.
