The late news from Samoa is
read with a great deal of interest.
The United States has received an
affront from Germany. This gov
ernment aud the American people
are in no humor to submit TO an
insult from Germany. During the
Spanish war, and later in the war
with the natives of the Philippines,
we have suffered from the unwar-
ranted arroganceif not interference
of the mad emperor. However, if
reports from Samoa be true the last
breach in international comfy
makes an open issue. Two great
nations have become involved in
open conflict, from which one must
recede spontaneously or risk the
disaster of great war. The tenn
per of the German emperor gives
no hope of liberal policy in con-
negotiations. The United
States cannot yield a point under
the circumstances to great power.
We must stand upon honor in our
relations with Germany as we have
with Spain and with the Filipinos.
The fact that Germany is a great
power will make the American pub

The Football Of Congress.

The Pacific slope, if it had fair
show, would be the busiest sec
ton in the United States, says the
Oregonian. Civilization has turned
its eyes at length to the worlds
greatest ocean, destined to be the
home of the worlds greatest COM
merce. California, with its orchards
and vineyards, oil and wines. is the
France of America; Oregon and
Washington, with their iron, wool
aud lumber, hops and flax, are its
Britain. Here is one element of
trade. Across the ocean is the 9TH
er element, the teeming millions Of
Asia, but now starting up to civil
lied life.
Somebody is going to do bust
ness with awakening Asia. The
United States can do it, acting
from its Pacific base, if it will.
But apparently it will leave it for
others. What government can do
to help the Pacific slope to do this
business, or, more correctly speak
ing, what steps it can take to get
itself out of the way. SO that the
business can be done without gov
eminent aid, it refuses to do. Con-
gress forbids trade between the
United States and Asia.
Trade OH the Pacific slope is un-
der the ban of congress, put there
from studied purpose of a conspir-
acy on the Atlantic seaboard. The
parties to the conspiracy are three

Pacific and New England traders.

ably without the Nicaragua can
al. But the canal will benefit the
Pacific coast. So New England
traders, operating chiefly through
the speaker of the national house
of representatives, defeat the ca.
nal.
War revenue demanded tax on
tea and coffee. But tax on coffee
would equip the Arbuckle's with
effective power against the sugar
trust; so the sugar trust secures
the removal of the tax on coffee,
and tea. which comes across the
Pacific to the Pacific ports, is taxed
10 cents pound.
Such business as comes to the
United States from Asia could come
via United States ports if the dis.
eliminating duty clause of the
DINGHY law were enforced. But this
would injure the Canadian Pacific,
and as anything that benefits the
people of the United States at the
expense of the Canadian Pacific is
anathema maranatha in the eyes OF
the American government, the dis
eliminating duty clause was set
aside blythe most remarkable and
least Ineligible legal opinion ever
rendered by an attorney general of
the United States, which declared
that when congress said goods in
foreign bottoms should pay 10 per
cent. additional duty it meant to
say nothing whatever.
There Is tonnage enough on the
Pacific coast to carry Asia half the

wharves in Pacific slope ports wait

4 PRoMIsIN,i CONyENTIoS.
From the New York Mail and Express

From the New York Mail and Express convention is to be held at Huntsville, Ala. in October which bids fair to prove exceedingly servlceable to the varied in- terests of the south. Twenty three sub | Jects have been selected for discussion by the delegates. and mos tof them are we'll chosen, since they relate to matters which either directly or indirectly materially concern the southern people as a whole. Among these subjects are the following: Why cotton factories should be built in the south the iron industries of the south; the opportunities of the south for economic
 wool growing and spinning; the timber in- terests of the south immigration to the south; the need of industrial edueat tion for
 the south: the railroads of the south and
 their relation to it's development; the ag- rlcuture of the south and how it may be
 improved; the race problem of the south; the horticultural, stock and mineral re-
 sources of the south; the relation of the
 south to the industrial wants of South
 American countries; law and order in the | south.
 | If the convention does not fall into the | hands of people who are too fluent for | their brains, or of people who fatter them- selves that they are practical when they are simply narrow; if the dogmatists aud the cranks arc given a back seat and the floor is awarded to men of sagacity and breadth, the results of the deliberations | ought to be of great value. The south is | alive to her own true welfare these days: | she evinces from most points of view | broad-gauge determination to forget the
 things which are behind and to press for
 ward. The Huntsville convention is one of | the things which price this, and all the | other sections of the country will follow 1 its proceedings with close and sympathetic attention.

Trade and Quarantine Restrictions.

State Health Officer Sanders urges, in a letter to the Mobile Register, the lifting of all quarantines against the movements of freights from or through New Orleans. He says that freights so rarely convey in- lection that even in the case of an eXten- tive epidemic they might be allowed to be moved, and in the present New Orleans outbreak they certainly should be left free from quarantine restrictions. local or otherwise.
 Dr. Sanders goes on to show that none of the recent epidemcs arose from germs in freights. In 1878 yellow fever was car ried to Mobile by a negro woman who had visited New Orleans as a member of an excursion party. She contracted the disease, went home. and started the dam aging epidemic of 1878. Last year negro went from Mississippi to New Orleans, where he bought a suit of second-hand clothes. That suit of clothes created an epidemic at Orwood. Taylors, Oxford and many other points in the state of Mississp- pi. That suit cost the state, first and last, millions of dollars.
 pr. Sanders believes there are foei of the disease in New Orleans, and he there- fore desires to maintain quarantine against persons, personal baggage, house. hold goods, and particularly secondhand clothing, but he sees no reason why freights should not be moved freely and unrestrainedly. The local quarantnes are more troublesome and more unreasonable than the state quarantines If communi- ty becomes alarmed 1t proceeds to quaran tine against everybody and everything from infected town. Dr. Sanders aims to show that such quarantines are beyond reason in the matter of freghts, and he certainly Is right. There is no reason why the trade of the south should be interrupt ed by quarantines another day The quarantine that Dr. Sanders demands is certainly broad enough to protect any com- munity from any fever that may exist In New Orleans. The burdens of quarantine should not be unduly exaggerated.

Primaries on a Given Day.

. The Hattiesburg, Miss, Progress thus 7 expresses it's views as to primary elections after full seasons experience of them in connection with the selection of candi- dates for governor and United States senator:
 One of the most important matters de- handing attention from the next legisa- ture is an amendment to the primary elec- ton law that will require the primaries ; or nominating conventions to be held in all of the counties of the state on the same day. This will put end to the touring of the commonwealth by armies of strikers" and campaign managers who go from polling place to polling place in the interest of their employers, working on election day in county after county from beginning to end of the voting season. It was to prevent this machine work or manipulation that the primary election system was adopted, but it's working seems to facilitate it.
 Primaries, it is plain, are to be regu- lated by law in all the southern states in which one white mans party exists. It is right and proper they should be. The pres ent primary law of this state was but Starter in this direction. It is incom- plete, inchoate, inefficient. Amendments will follow, and among them We know of none more important than the one suggest ed by the Progress. Nominating conven- tions are passing away in the course of political progress. and many amendments will no doubt be needed before the new and direct system of popular rule is made plabe enough and broad enough to meet B the desires of the people, For in this mat ter the legislator should seek what the people want, not what the politicians want

THE STATE FAIR.

From the Gainesville Advocate.
 The state fair soon to be held in Birming- ham promises to be a much larger thing than was at first anticipated. This is as it should be, and the Advocate hopes that it will not only be the best the state has ever had but that it will be the largest attended not only by the people of the state but by capitalists from other states. Every county in the state should have a creditabe exhibit, for there is not a single one of the sixty-sx counties that could not make a show which would attract atten- tion.
 We hope that Butler county will make such an exhibit as she is so well able to do. This county has taken many prem iums at state fairs and can do so this year with greater ease than at any time here before, simply because of the greater amount of experience which her citizens have in such matters,- caused by tf1e num- Der of county fairs held in this city

THE IRON sIrUArIoS.

From the Railway and Engineering Re-
 view, September ?.
 While there have been no new develop ments in the iron trade, there is enough tfanspiring to show the great disturbances beneath the surface. The longer heads in the trade are making purchases of material for 1900 delivery. The recognize that the increasing capacity will not be sufficient to take care of expanding requirements. The advances made in structural material last week in New York, the advance in bilits at Pittsburg and the advance in basic and Bessemer steel all point to a broadening of demand and meagreness of supply which leads to but one conclusion and result. Some blast furnaces are now sold ten months ahead. Steel rails have been sold for spring delivery. The vital and dan- gerous factor is the large amount of un- filled orders that will be carried over into 1900. Add to these the unknown require- ments of 1930 which abundant money and well founded confidence and expanding ne- ccssities and increasing purchasing power all confer, and it is not difficult to see that We have a big job ahead of us which is sufficient in its scope to engage the energy and talent and skill of the whole American people to meet.

those in sight would last fully fifty years.
 The possession and development of these mines enters in many ways into the pend- ing troubles of the Transvaal It brought into the republic a swarm of Englishmen, and English capitalists have put vast amounts of money in the costly machinery and plants required in the handling of such low-grade ores. The manufacture of dyna- mite has all along been sore point at the mines. It is believed that President Kru- ger himself is interested in the syndicate that holds monopoly of this all-essential article. In round figures the syndicate takes from the miners two prices for the 100000. cases of dynamite annually con sumed

wheat, at old-fashioned country water mills, is novelty not seen in this city before this season in a long time. A wagon load of such flour was seen by a re- porter yesterday in front of the store Of MT. L. A. Scarborough. The flour was ground at<the water mill of MT. George c. Gordy. about mile south of cusseta. Chattahoochee county MT. Gordy has ground fully a thousand bushels of flour for himself and his neighbors this sea- son, and there is still good deal of wheat in that section. Heretofore. Georgia farm CTS have. been sending thousands of dol- lars away from their state every year to pay for flour, not even making an effort to raise wheat at home. Many of them are beginning to realize their mistake and for the last year or two the wheat acreage in Georgia has increased very largely. The farmers who have tried wheat raising Have met with such fine success that their neighbOrs have been encouraged to follow their example next year; more wheat will be planted than ever, as interest in the matter has been generally awakened all over the state.
 It is said that tfle bread made from the home-raised and water ground wheat Is sweeter and more nutritious than that made from the finest flour to be had. The home raised wheat flour may not be as white and fine as that made at the large roller mills of the country, but there are many old citizens who insist that 1t makes the best biscuit in the world.

POPE LEO'S HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY. From the NeM Ynrk Iollrnal


 From Dr. Lapponi, the pope's physician ir Rome, comes professional opinion that the Good Old Man of the Vatican has an excellent chance of reaching his hundredth year.
 It seems likely, therefore, that the pope will outlive all of his former fellow-cardi- nals appointed by Plus TX.
 The Sabbath solitude of his surround ings the quiet sequestration of his exist. ence, and the purity of his life, no less than the strength of his faith have all tended to prolong his days. With the arrival of the twentieth cen tury Leo XIII.-should he live until then will have held the pontificial office over twenty-two years. Since the twenty-five year pontificate of St. Peter, the founder of the church, there have been only three longer terms than that
 Down the long papal line we find that Radrianus was twenty-three years in office; Plus VII, twenty-four years, and Plus K. thirty-one years. The pontifcates of the early popes were checkered and brief. From Linus to Fuse bius, twenty-nine out of thirty-one popes met death for their religion. The gradual growth or civilization and the enlightenment of humanity through the influences of Christianity have heightened as well as ameliora ted the pontificial term of office, until at the dawn of the twenti- eth century we find a whte-hared and feeble old man, long past the normal sum of human life, with the children of his church drawn about him unit.
 When it so happens that he shall render his final account it will be in the conscious ness of the reverence and affection of the entire civilized world.
