German Jealousy of Enq|a1d.

The German papers of all sorts and shades of opinion have found common ground agan-they are agreed that Eng lands land and mine greed is at the bottom of the South African trouble. They sympa- thize with the Boers, just as they sympa- thized with Spain in the days of our brief war with that country When an Anglo Saxon nation stands up in battle it is held to be due to mammon worship. Greed and hunger for gold and land" says one paper, don't confer the right to go to war" Still another paper frankly says, ''We all wish and hope that England may meet with de- feat" And so on to the end.
 Such talk is not due to racial affinties, for the Boers are no nearer in race to the Ger mans than are the Britons. All came from the mouths of the Weser and the Elbe. All were pirates to begin with-Boer and Briton both But this talk is due alone to jealousy and to a dread of British dominance in Af- rica. Germany has possessions there, but as a colonizer she is without hope. Not one of her colonies is prosperous; and if Eng land were out of Africa altogether, Ger many would not be able to spread civiiza- tion over it, judging by what she has done. The hope of African civilization lies with England. Without her it would be indef- initely postponed. With her help and domi- nance there are children living who will live to see Africa as open and accessible as America is today.
 As to English greed, it has no easy task ito excel Germany's record in that respect in the last forty years. German aggression has been constant in all parts of the world. It has shown itself next door to the Trans yaal itself. It fought little Denmark for land. and sluggish Austria, and unprepared France. The German has been fighting and buying land in all these recent years But that makes no difference with the German press when England or America go to war. They are declared to be mammon worship pers But the bumpuous German emperor takes precious good care to do no overt act or to utter one of his customary overt ex- pressions. Mere newspaper war in Germany will not hurt or hinder England in her ef- fort to secure justice for all Outlanders; and if the transfer of more territory to her becomes an incident of the war the world will not grieve overmuch.

LULLABY

By Eugene Field. Fair is the castle upon the 'niil-
 Hushaby. sweet, my own! The night is fair and the waves are Stiil, And the wind is singing to you and me In this lowly home beside the sea
 Hushaby, sweet. my own! On wonder hill is store of wealth.
 Hushaby, sweet, my own. And revelers drink to little ones health; But you and I bide night and day For the other love that has sailed away
 Hushaby, sweet, my own! See not, dear eyes, the forms that creep
 Ghostlike, oh, my own! Out of the mists of the murmuring deep; Oh see them not and make no cry Till the angels of death have passed us by Hushaby, sweet, my own!
 .rsE An little they reck of you and me
 Hushaby, sweet. my own! In our lonely home beside the sea: They seek the castle up the hill, And there they will do their ghostly will Hushaby, sweet, my own! Here by the sea a mother croons
 "Hushaby, sweet, my own!' In wonder castle a mother swoons While the angels go down to the misty deep Bearing little one fast asleep
 Hushaby. sweet, my own!

From the Sheffield Reaper
 II is just incumbent upon the press of this state it is on the school authorities to do all it "can to help tlle great cause along" The press should consider itself the natural ally of the educational cause. The new school laws and the inoreased fund are the results of united effort on the part of some educators and few newspaper and mark a victory over demagogy and vicious politics. Il is a shame. that Ala bama has much illiteracy In the face of her boasted intelligence and chivalry. comparison of historical facts makes the shame sill more humiliating. But Alabama is now at the parting of the ways between illteracy and education and by continuing such men John W. Abercrombie at the head of educational affairs the state will cogstinue to advance educa tionally until she ranks with the best.

Dewey Won't: schIeY Can't.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen. those at the head of this article, wrung from the heart of Statesman Lon Livingston, take the cake. It might have been. It would have been if physician who did not take the insurance metropolis at it's own valuation had not put his finger in the pie. This physician did not, so far now ap- pears, forbid the great admiral from ad mirsli,ing or from fishing for lease Of the White House, or from visiting New York Kalamazoo; he simply said that he should not plunge himself even for day in the whrls of Philadelphia and At aanta. Heretofore Philadelphia has been regarded as a sedative, but it seems it is mot; it seems that it belongs in the Allan la class. However, there is no accounting for medicine men.
 The blame. if any there be, should be piled on the medicine man. The third ad- miral is helpless in his hands. He cannot even visit Charleston. He cannot do friendly act for his lag-lieutenant in At ]anta. Let Atlanta see the situation in its true light. It was the doctor not the ad- miral. who prevented that great city from glorifying itself. "Dewey won't" should not be used in other words. to dim the glo- ny of great name change history. George Dewey must still stand as the hero and conqueror of Manila. Atlanta may have felt on Sunday like plotting all this out, but it's blotter must not be per mtted to become operative. It must take it out on the doctor. Rend him, but let the great admirals laurels go untouched.
 As sister city, Birmingham sends com miseration, and also an invitation to bhe Alabama State fair, including it's Midway. This shall be to it a consolation entertain ment. Come to the State fair, the fireworks-which will doubt include picture of the admiral but not of his doc tor-and be happy. Whittiers words, "It might have been," will thus be forgotten, and the great republic will regain it's equi- librum and a mad world wag on as be- fore

HOW ENGLAND KEEPS THE PEACE

From the London Truth.
 We pride ourselves upon being the apos- ties of peace. This is the record of the present government:
 l. Turkish crisis-massacre.
 ?. Jameson raid crisis.
 g. American crisis-Venezuelan question. 4. German crisis-telegram from the em- Deror
 5. Crisis in connection with Crete.
 6. Russian crisis.
 '. Chinese crisis.
 B. French crisis-Fashoda.
 9. South African crisis.
 Besides those there have been a number of small wars with savage and semi-savage tribes the partial conquest of the Soudan, and punitive expeditions in almost every quarter of the globe. Unfortunately, with an average of two crises a year, the gov ernment has been able to promote the cause of progress and of prosperity at home, but at the expense of millions of money and of thousands of lives it has kept up the "prestige" of the nation and has kept-in office. The interests of the dyiNsty are considered first; of the party second, and of the community last.

FROGS IN CARLOAD LOTS

From the iLtchfield tMinn.) Ledger.
 The shipment of frogs from this point this season has been enormous. From one to three wagon loads have been shipped to Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago every day since the ice werat out of the lakes. The shipments are light now, but from the first of September until the lakes freeze up jump-fish will be burden to the baggage men of the Great Northern railway. Mon day last there was not a box of frogs in sight when the train pulled in from the vest and the baggageman was astonished not to see a truck loaded with croakers, and remarked to the depct agent that some one was entitled to a medal, but just as he finished this sentence Ed Brooks dray team came around the depot with a load of frogs, and the bagga geman went to the corner of the car for his gun, and if we remember alright he used some tall Ian guage, but he grabbed up the boxes Of live frogs, fired them into a corner, slammed the car door hard and howled for the en- gineer to pull out of town before another load of frogs came around the corner

HANsA's "DOLLAR laRsY SLIT

Cleveland, October 20-When President Mckinley arrived in Cleveland several re- publicans who are prominent in the present state campaign were among those who join ed the public welcome to their distinguished fellow citizen With these was a democrat who had just returned from a trip in the west, and who is now active in the canvass of the democratic candidate for governor. He greeted Senator Hanna as an old &C., quaintance in the lobby of the Afollenden. while MT. Mckinley was holding reception in an adjoining room.
 ''Why, senator" he said, T haven't seen. you for some time. expected at least to see you wearing that suit of clothes with dollar marks on it."

From tine scottsboro Citizen.

From the ScottSboro CltlZen.
 In the race for governor the Citizen is for Hon. John w. Tomlinson, because the peo- pie have the utmost confidence in the sin cerity of his position favoring the Chicago platform and the nomination of Bryan. As a delegate to the national democratic con- vention he helped to make the Chicag go platform. He was an original Bryan man and is chairman of the national democrtfc bimetalic committee. He is a recognized leader of the silver forces, besides his ag- gressive fight against the school book trust for cheaper books for the school children of Alabama. especially comments him to the voters of the state.
 Mir. Stallings killed himself with the sil- yer people of the state when he wrote that Richardson letter, advocating the nomina- tion of another man other than that of William J. Bryan for president, and inti- mating that the Chicago platform was not good enough for decent people to stand on.
