A,,AHAMA,s GKnAr SENATOR

From the New York Journal.
1t seems hardly credible That an attempt
is on foot to defeat Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, for reelection. When a state
has such citizen as John T. Morgan the
plainest considerations of self-interest
urge it to make the most of him, and to
profit to the fullest extent by the honor
he confers upon it.
When Mr.. Morgan's present term ex-
pires, on March 4, 1901, he will nave been in
the senate for twenty-four years Not
more than half dozen senators can match
his record of continuous service, and not
one can surpass the value OF mis- work for
the country He is the senior democrat of
the committee ON foreign relations, and
was it's chairman when the democrats con-
trolled the senate. He is the chairman of
the committee on the construction of the
Nicaragua canal and a member of several
other important committees. new man
from Alabama could not gain a position of
such influence in the next ten years, if at
all.
Senator Morgan has been able to do
great work for his state and section be-
cause his sympa hhies have been so broadly
American. GIe does not speak as a
parooaial politician, but as a national
statesman. The people OF the whole coun-
try have confidence in him. That is the
sort of representative a state needs. Mr.
Mon5an's mere word can accomplish moro
for Alabama and the south than a sessions
Wire-pulling by senator whose ideas are
bounded by state lines, and who is out of
touet1 with pae people CT the rest of the
country.
Alabama's greatest need is the construc-
ton of the Nicaragua canal. With that
waterway opened Mobile could bid for the
trade of the Pacific and might become one
of the great seaports of the world 1t
would be inconceiyable folly to reject the
man who is doing more than any other for
tae canal. and Who has helped to multiply
the openings for Aa5ama's iron and cot
ton.

RIDICULE our OF PLACE

From the Mobile Register.
We see that the papers insist that the
alumni of the university are going to inves-
tigate the land sale. The impulse of the
investigation is purely political. What will
the outcome be?-Montgomery Journal.
This is not the proper spirit with which the
organ of the governor should approach this
subject. The governor himself ought to
welcome any investigation the alumni of
the university see fit to undertake. If he
has performed his part in the university
land sale in an honest and conscientious
manner he will Zoe able to show it, and thus
quiet the rumors that are circulating to his
discredit; and his organ should oe the first
to recognize This and bid a glad welcome
to the alumni who are 10 assemble in
Montgomery on Monday to ask what they
ought to do about the matter. The gov
ernor stands accused of selling university
lands at much beneath their real value and
to an intimate friend of his, who is known
as a man who makes land deals of profit
to himself and his associates The sale
was made by the governor, assisted by
bare quorum of the board of trustees, and
consummated by the immediate acceptance
of the money offered for the lands. There
was also, it is said, secrecy enjoined upon
those engaged in the transaction. These
are damaging charges, and they are made
by men of good standing in the state. We
should think that the governor, if unjustly
accused, would rejoice that the honorable
alumni of the university have been moved
to inquire into the truth of the reports
The Journal, his organ, says "the impulse
is purely POLITICAL, but it does not believe
it. The alumni is not composed of politi-
clans, but of men who have the interests
of the university very dear to heart and
who can Zoe counted upon to do the govern
or full justice. Let the governor urge upon
the editor of the Journal to change his
tone. This course of ridicule of very Sc
rious matter is dong the governor no
good.

the Only DAILY H:wsPApsR IN ALABAMA
A Colbert Announcement.

The Age-Herald cannot find space enough
for all announcements; but one from Col
bert county is so brief and plain and Alto
gether excellent that room is gladly given
to it. Here it is, telling it's own story in the
best and fewest possible words:
l announce my candidacy for representa-
tive from Colbert county in the legislature
of Alabama, subject to the democratic pri-
mary election. l shall, if elected, vote and
use my influence to secure the return of
Hon. John T. Morgan to the United States
senate.
In doing this, shall express my personal
preference, and at the same time it will at
ford me great pleasure to aid. this great
man, whom I believe to be the choice of
large majority of the democrats of our
county. In announcing my candidacy, l
wish to say that have yielded to the solie-
itude Of many friends who think that will
wisely represent the best interests of our
people. This l shall strive to do.
JOHN e. DeLONY.
If any one tries to beat this announcement
either from a political or literary point of
view, he will have to get up very early in
the morning. The story is told with dig
nifty, wisdom, modesty and brevity. Ne one
can do more than that.

DAM.aiNG TO GOV. sOHNsros

From the Huntsville Post.
The letter of Mr. ]. Darlington Semple,
a lawyer Of New York, to the Montgomery
Advertiser published on the first page of
the Post, makes very serious charges
against Governor Johnston touching his
visit to New York in connection with the
sale of lands belonging to the University
of Alabama. Mr.. Semple makes the charge
that Governor Johnston was not only A
party to the land deal but was beneficial
ry in the profits arising therefrom. There
are now two serious charges against the
governor in Shis> scandalous affair-first,
that the lands were knowingly sold for
much less than their value, and second,
that he is personal benehciary-a recipi-
emit of the emoluments accruing from the
this charge, and will not without ample
proof, it is frank to say the time has come
when Governor Johnston must speak out
in no uncertain terms and produce the evil
dence in the whole transaction of this land
deal. For the sake of the good name of
our state, of the university and of himself,
the Post most sincerely hopes there is
some misunderstanding about
this whole matter; but it now says, and
says it in all seriousness, but deep sorrow,
that Governor Johnston must clear this
matter up and do so at once or he is ruin
ed-a disgraeed man. Should he clear his
skirts of all blame, then he comes forth
from an unholy fire, without the smell of
it on his garments, and the people of Ala
bama will more than vindicate him.
