parltt.a Prison Renorn.

MT. Michael Davitt, NJ. P. for South Mayo, Ireland, has prison record which in many ways is unriyaIled among journalists. In 1870 he was sen- fenced to fifteen years penal servitude and released on ticket-of-leave seven years later; in 1881 he was sent back again to prison and released in the fol- lowing year. His period of liberty was short. however, for in 1883 he was again in prison for three months. IL was as a convict in Portland prison that he was first elected as a member of parliament, and that he wrote his Leaves from a Prison Diary"

Six Contested Senatorial Seats.

The number of senatorial seats that the
senate itself can fill was never larger, and
every one of the pending cases is an object
lesson to the American people. Every one
of them says in plain words, let senators
hereafter be elected by direct vote.
There is, to begin with, the four dead
locked states, Pennsylvania, California,
Utah and Delaware Dickering legislatures
in the four cases could not agree on terms,
and so they concluded to disagree alto
gether. In each of the four there were
scandals and violations of public senti-
ment. Quay has been selected to stand for
the four deadocked seats. He was repudi-
ated by a legislature of his own political
faith. If he is seated, not only will all
precedents be disregarded, but public SEN
timent in Pennsylvania will be outraged
Phe other dcadlocked seats will be filled
if Quay is seated and it is not regarded
as improbable that Roberts may be empow-
cred to take the vacant Utah seat. Any
thing is possible under the present plan of
selection.
The Clark case of Montana is another
beauty. He bought legislative votes in both
parties. paying out. it is said. 100000 AS

A Happy Democratic Day.

at will be a happy day in Butler says
the Greenville Living Truth, when the
White people hold a joint primary to nomi-
nate white officers to serve white people in
a white county," Such a scheme is idyllic.
1t can only come about when all white
men think alike-when ALL in other words,
are democrats. or populists or republicans.
This, of course means that government by
party is to be abolished.
The practicable road to an approach OF
what the Living Truth desires in Butler
consists in the abandonment of populism
and all of it's fads, and the acceptance of
the Chicago platform and Of whatever
platform may take its place. There is no
longer an excuse for the existence of the
pcpulist party. 1t cannot accomplish any
thing in the state or county. The tide is
against it. Its work is done; it has had
its day of influence, and it should now go
back to the democratic party, which is to
endure and be effective.
The coming primaries of the democratic
party are confined to democrats-to men
who are ready to accept democratic prin-
ciples and vote for democratic nominees.
No one else can enter the coming primar-
les without dishonoring himself before his
ueighbors and before his own conscience.
These primaries are not white mems pr-
maries, unless all white men in given
district are democrats They are primarily
democratic primaries, but they may become
white mems primaries through an accept
ance by all waftes of democratic principles
and nominees. The line is distinctly drawn,
and all white men in the south should toe
up to that line.

LAYTON AND WHEELER
Recklessness of Both Ohlocrs Under the
Fire of the Filipinos

Pasay Up. - Letter to indianapolis News.
I could not help burt be amused when 7
examined the church ait Paranaque. The re-
ports sent out had spoken of the total de-
molition of it by the bombardment of the
fleet. But, nevertheless, it is standing there
peacefully, used as barracks by the SOL
diers 1t is true a few stones here and
there are misplaced, stairway to the choir
damaged, and a sacrilegious shell has ut
terly destroyed the heaven above the al
tar. The insurgents used small cannon
from the belfry, and it can serve the same
purpose for us yet if needed.
General Lawton's orders are very explicit
He insists that there be no firing of any
kind until we have been fired upon. Amigos
are all around us, and they are in great
danger from careless firing. The general
is now riding a beautiful white horse, and
in this connection a good story is told of
him, how last week, when a detachment
of marines were ashore to assist in an as
sault they themselves were assaulted by
the insurgents and while the marines were
hugging THE ground and wishing every
blade of grass were a stump, up rides Gen
eral Lawton.
The men say that 1t seemed he was ON
the largest white horse that ever was, and
with large white hat too, and making
a tremendous amount of noise. He was
laughing as gay1y as the Mausers that
were singing about him. and nodded and
chatted with his staff. 1t was a revelation,
SO the marines say, of what all absence of
fear is, even when under the most danger
Gus conditions. Shortly afterward one of
his staff was shot through both knees, but
Lawton did not ride away until he COM
pleted his work. He has the headquarters
of his division here in town in a modest
house on quiet side street. l found it so
crowded that the clerks were compelled to
do their work on the porches. He often
takes his son out with him on his rides
along the front, and it is an all-wise Provi-
dence that has spared them, for his brave
ry is splendid in it's daring.
General Wheeler expects to get fat now,
as he is getting his fill of fighting. The
fore part of this week he was sitting on
ton of one of the intrenchments enjoying
the cool of the evening. While sitting there
dangling his feet like a schoolboy and with
his back to the front the insurgent rifles
began their evening tune. The men around
him were mortified TO have him thus expose
himself, but unwilling to stoop down them
selves as. long as he was sitting ON top. On
one side, of him a bullet took out the seam
from a mans trousers, on the other side
a canteen strap was cut in two. The old
general got excited, and yelled to the men
to lie down at once, never thinking of his
own safety until one OF the officers pulled
him down.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Get-Rich-Quick Schemes.

Every age and every country has its
bunco games-ts get-rich-quicl schemes.
They have them because avariee is an al
most universal passion in the human heart.
Miller's "Franklin Syndicate" is but a. type
of the entire class of schemes, from the
South Sea bubble, and Laws Mississippi
scheme. We hear more of these, because
they have a place in the history of their
respective times, but no age, no country,
has been free from get-rch-quiek schemes.
Sometimes it is a lottery, sometimes Pan
anna canal, sometimes watered kafHrs,
sometimes inflated .industrials, and now it
is a plain, bare-faced Franklin Syndi-
cate" They are all "on" one piece They
are all essentially alike-rascals on the in
side and dupes, ready and willing, on the
outside.
A South Sea bubble could not be fioated
in these days of newspapers and general in
tellgenee, and lotteries have been well-nigh
suppressed, but the suppression of all forms
of the get-rich-quck disease is probably be-
You'd the possibilities of law. The school
houses and moral suasion can alone cope
with the passion of avarice which makes
dupes of men. Miller has fled, but if he
should be apprehended, loaded up with his
booty, approaching a million of dollars, 1t
is difficult to see how he could be punished.
The money was entrusted to him volunta-
rily by persons whose eyes were open. They
expected returns beyond the dreams of rea-
sonable avarice Their covetousness misled
them. Their acts made the syndicate posi-
BILE. Miller is guilty, and his dupes foolish.
Both contributed to the result. If Miller Is
to be punished it will have to be on the
ground that his co-workers in the scheme
have already been punished through the
loss of money.
Perhaps, after all, the covetous should be
told in plain words that the law will not
protect them-that if they go into get
rich-quiek scheme the law will not help
them. There certainly is such a thing as
too mach dependence on law, and not
enough on ones own horse sense. The
Brooklyn case is a wholesale and whole
some example of avarice overreaching it
