The Treaty in the Cores.
Editor

The treaty will be accepted by the cortes,
partly because Spain will gain thereby
$2O0O0,OoO, partly because she knows that
her colonial possessions are drag and
loss, but largely because there is nothing
else to do. 1t Is Hobson's choice with poor
old Spain. She must take the treaty or
nothing at all, for the United States is in
possession, and has the men and the ships
and the guns to make that possession eff
fective.
SPANS political leaders will, however air
their views and maneuvre for position be-
fore ratification becomes fact. Professor
Salmeron, the republican leader, recently
told the ministers: your colonial policy
was disastrous because you joined sword
and cassock in order to restore feudal
theocracy with all sorts of privileges"
The friars and the soldiers and the privi-
leges went hand in hand. especially in the
Philippines, and the most docile people in
the world rebelled, and the Maine was
blown up, and then the feudal theocracies
tumbled into ruins.
1t was not the fault of Premier Sagasta,
not even the fault of Canovas; but the
trouble lay much deeper As a colonizing
power Spain governed distant people, not
to their good and through their good the
ultimate good perhaps of the parent coun-
try, but it governed them first, last and all
the time for what there was in them-for
tho
to use the words of the republican orator.
1t used friars and soldiers and all the other
means at its disposal to despon its colon
lists. 1t failed as a colonizing power be-
cause it deserved to fail. and history does
not record a greater or more distinctly
marked failure The country that once
possessed nearly one-half of the world now
holds but few specks in great sea-
No doubt Spain will be stronger when she
gets rid of her colonies altogether, simply
because she does not understand the first
principles of successful colonial rule, and
her people, and especially her politicians,
cannot be induced to learn those principles,
and to apply them. Senior Sagasta and his
ministers know all this, and the cortes
knows it too; and in few days a treaty
that some of them denounce as most
shameful, and that all regret, will be ac-
cepted, and Spain will step out of the col
onizing business, and will soon be very glad
that she is well rid Of the old troubles that
went to make up the several feudal the
ocracies she had fostered and built up until
they came tumbing down about her de-
voted but misguided ministers.

THE PAPERS ARE TALKING OUT

From the Troy Messenger.
Many of the newspapers of the state
have adopted the tactics of the "old wo-
man. and are ''just telling Governor Jo-
seph F. Johnston what they think of him.
in regard to the appointment of railroad
commissioners. One paper charges him
with the meanest of all sins-that of base
ingratitude.' 1t says that he Rugged Tom
linson to his bosom, induced him to enter
an application for the place and kept him
in the dark to the last moment and then
proved himself traitor to the trust con-
fided. 1t would appear that the governor
has dropped the golden Senatorial" egg
into a political whirlpool from which he
will never be able to recover it, Jefferson
county will be a power before the legisla-
ture that elects the next senator

TO "FIGnTING ROB, EVANS

From Harper's Weekly.
1t is narrated that a set of Kipiing' $
works which was lately sent by its author
to Captain Robley Evans was enriched by
these dedicatory verses:
Zogbaum draws with a pencil,
And I do things with pen,
But you sit up in a conning-tower
Bossing eight hundred men.
Zogbaum takes care of his business,
And take care of mine:
And you take care of ten thousand tons
Sky-hooting through the brine.
Zogbaum can handle his shadows,
And can handle my style
But you can handle a ten-inch gun
To carry seven mile.

Wealth Through Technical Education

The cotton crop of Alabama is about
one million bales, and the pig iron outturn
is about one million tons a year. At
cents a pound the cotton brings S3OOOO,OOO,
and the iron at 81 ton is worth about
81 600 ,O0O-a total of $37 600 900.
But if the cotton crop were spun and
woven in the state. even into coarse goods,
it would be worth 800, 900 OOO and if the pig
iron were turned into steel and the steel
into nails. rails, barbed wire or machinery,
probably could be made to yield $35 OOO, 900.
In other words, the state would become
as rich as it is now poor, as prosperous as
1t is now wanting in real, active, busting
life
The raw material is here in a state full
of rivers that can be made to furnish the
cheapest possible transportation to tide
water. The goods made in the state can be
barged from almost every county in it,
when the rivers of the state are freed from
distractions. at minimum rates. The

An abundance of cheap labor is also here,
and climate admirably adapted to econ
omical manufacturing is also here.
There is but one thing acking-technical
skill. There is not a technical school in the
state in which the boys of Alabama can be-
come mining engineers, or furnace mana
gers, or factory foremen or superinten-
dents. The state university is admirably
located and could soon be equipped for that
purpose. 1t could without detriment to its
classical courses readily become a high
grade technical school. Unless the boys of
Alabama are carefully grounded in all that
science offers-unless they can acquire here
at home the very best technical training,
Alabama cannot develop her resources, she
cannot acquire the wealth that Is within
her reach. This is not building, we are
well aware, for today, but 1t is building for
the near future and that is all any state
can do. The want of technical training is
very serious. and it Is none too soon to be-
gin to consider how the want can be met
and overcome. The state university seems
to offer the best and surest opportunity
