SENATOR MORGAN
Is COMING HOME
Understood He viii Spend Three
Months in State
ACTIVELY IN THE CAMPAIGN
Senator Pettus Was in the City Yester-
day for Few Hours-He is
Growing Restless for
Fight to Open
ACTIVELY IN THE CAMPAIGN

Senator John Tyler Morgan will arrive in
Alabama within a week, probably by next
Sunday. 1t is understood that he will
spend three months within the states bor-
ders, making a tour of the counties for
the purpose of meeting the voters.
1t is said by his friends that the dis
tinguished senator is full of fight and that
he intends to maintain his commanding
position in the ranks of the democratic
party.
His friends assert, moreover, that Nor
gans fight will not be so much personal
one. They claim that he is loaded for the
enemies of the party organization in the
fight that is about to begin.
Senator Morgan has lately been spending
some time in Arizona, where he has been
leading counsel for a friend in a court
case.
Senator Pettus in the City
Senator Pettus was in the city yesterday.
He came up from Montgomery, whore he
has been attending the supreme court.
1t is said that Senator Pettus is also anx-
ious for the fight to open. The senator, it
is claimed, does not feel very kindly to the
politicians who have talked of tripping
him up the back" and it is probable that
he will be actively in the campaign.
From Birmingham he will go to Tate
Springs to spend d week.

Attention Shown Editors

There was little time left in which to
show the visitors much attention, but the
programme arranged by the entertainment
committee of the Commercial club and the
local press was carried out. At o'clock
a special train of two cars left the Florence
hotel for a trip over the city lines of
the Birmingham Railway and Electric
company and the ride was greatly enjoyed
by the editors and ladies. From to u
p. M, an informal reception was rendered
the visitors at the rooms of the CONNER
cial club. Refreshments, consisting of
sandwiches, lemonade and delicious punch
was served under the direction of Captain
Frank Demere, who saw that no one was
sighted. The few hours were most de-
Hghtfully spent in the exchange of fra
ternal greetings.
A pleasing feature of the evening was
the presentation of a beautiful gold headed
cane, properly engraved to the retiring
president, NJ w. Camper, of Florence, who
was taken wholly by surprise.
The presentation was made by Jacob Pep
perman, of Montgomery, who briefly con-
veyed to Mr.. Camper the kindest senti-
ments of appreciat ion. Mr.. Camper re-
sponded most feelingly and gave assurance
of his most earnest appreciation.
Resolutions of thanks to the Louisville
and Nashville and Southern Railway COM
pany for their many courtesies to the Ala
bama Press association were offered by
Charles H. Greer, of Marion, and were
unanimously adopted.

The Milwaukee, Road Coming,

A Des Moines special Of the 18th inst a.,
says: The Milwaukee Railroad com
pany has in store for this year hundreds
Of miles of extension. The company
has not only made up its mind to ex-
tend the Des Moines, Northern and
Western but will also extend the Iowa
and Dakota line from Chamberlain, s.
D., to the Black Hills country This
extension will pass over the reservation
and tap all the cattle country A bill
recently passed the senate permitting
the erection of bridge over the Mis-.
souri, at or near Chamberlain
This extension has been talked of for
some years, but not until lately has it
taken any definite form. The North.
western has controlled all the cattle and
other shipping from the Hills country
in the past. From the fact that The
Iowa and Dakota division will be ex-
tended from Chamberlain it is more
than likely that the connection Of the
Northern will be at Canton, S. ID.

The PHILIPPINES,

The situation in the PHILIPPINES re-
mains in statu quo and there is a great
division of sentiment in regard what
disposition we will make ofthe islands.
We believe from our reading Of the ex
changes, that the voice of the press over
the whole land irrespective of party is
nearly evenly divided, but as time goes
on and the subject is being more and
more discussed by our foremost states
men there seems to be growing sent-
ment among the masses Of the people
that the proper thing to do is to deal
with the PHILIPPINES in the same man
ner as we are pledged to deal with
Cuba. Hold them under military con.
troll long enough to maintain order, edu-
cate their leaders in our form of gov
ernment, establish schools and some
necessary reforms and at the proper
time give them their independence. But
If this is the intention of our government
it should be so understood and annonnc-
ed. The time and limit Of our occupa
ton should be set and the people of the
islands should be assured Of what
they may look forward to, and the day
and date of their deliverence should be
fixed. If this he done we do not think
there will be any further trouble with
AguinaIdo and his patriot followers
whom we are learning without reason
to call rebels. At the same time we do
not consider that the people of either
Cuba or the PHILIPPINES should be allow
ed to think that Uncle Sam should per-
form this great service in their behalf
for nothing, bnt the bonds of those is
land nations when formed should be
held by this nation in sufficient guam
tity to indemnify us at least in. part for
the necessary expense incurred in their
liberation from the thraldom and ty-
ranny of Spain. This we think will be
the policy which will eventually obtain,
but We are loosing prestige in the eyes Of
the nations, and in the eyes of our own
people. by our weak or criminal del ay
to announce our intentions. On the
one hand We are loosing all the glory of
having done a noble and praisew orthy
thing, and on the other hand. we are in
hourly danger of being forced into a
war, inglorious and disgraceful to this
nation, and far from being relished by
our volunteer soldiery. Our boys vol,
unteered to fight in the cause of free
dom, how think you they will feel,
when ranged up as an army of conquest,
to fight and slaughter people who are
struggling to achieve their independ-
ence and are fighting in the always
holy cause Of liberty. In our opinion
the only sentiment that favors the con.
Quest Of the PHILIPPINES. is the sentiment
which is embodied in the motto, Trade
follows the flag" Has it come to this.
Is it possible that the majority of our
people have become so degraded in
character, that they have become in
sen ible to every high and enobling in
centive to action. and influenced ny no
other motive than the selfish and mer-
cenary one Of trade. Has it come to
this, that our proud bird of freedom,
emblem Of our liberty, has nothing to
do. but to sail and soar around the world
in quest of carton, and cartons alone.

time strike the pay chute and sell out to
a capitalist and are ftly rewarded for
your years of hard labor. What right
have we to come in and claim share in
your reward. is 1t not plain case Of
my trying to get something for nothing,
or in other words, seeking to reap where
1t have not sown.
We do not intend in this comment
that it shall apply to this particular
case. There are many questions of fact
with which we are not familiar, which
have material bearing upon the case,
which has been renanded back for a
new trial, and we do not wish to ex-
press any opio nion upon the merits Of
the controversy either one way or the
other. 1t is upon the learned judges
construction of the law that we seek to
direct our remarks at this time. We
will quote for the benefit of our readers
that portion of the decision to which we
refer and from whit,, we most respect
fully dissent.
THE main controversy is, whether
when the annual assessment work has
not been done upon mining claim,
one cotenant therein can relocate the
same and obtain title thereto, not only as
against the world, but as against his CO.
tenants. 1t is well settled that CO.
tenants stand in certain relation to
each other of mutual trust and conf
nit har hn nj 10
act in hostility to the other in reference
to the joint estate, and that distinct
title acquired by one will enure to the
benefit of all"
To all of which We reply, that how
ever forcibly this may apply to land
cases, or even in case of a controversy
between cotenants in mining claim,
while the claim is alive and is owned by
both parties, it cannot and should not,
and never has been applied in any case
where the claim has reverted back to
the public domain. For the season that
you are free, and am free, because the
ground is free, and both have ceased 10
hold any interest in it whatever. We
have not the space to pursue this sub
ject further at this time. but il is easy to
see what confusion, litigation. and in
jutice would follow on the heels of such
a construction of the law il this de
cision should be confirmed by the su-
preme court of the nation. II has not
been confirmed. and tbs our opinion that
snch construction and application Of
the law will not stand the final arbitra-
ment Of the court Of last reson. Let us
watch and see who is right in this mat
