The Democratic faction in Alabama
which was beaten on the constitutional
convention question by Gov John
ston now calls the Governor THE
Gar" It is not stated whether
the Governor feels coInpiimeHted or
not by this title It is not the inten-
ton of his political opponents to compli-
meut him, but clearly the title is an i'd
mission of his political power. There was
time when those who had grievance
against ex-Speaker Reed called him Gear
Reed, but he didn't mind it. Indeed, 1t
is believed that he gloried in the title,
and made special efforts TO deserve H.
There came a time, however, when those
who had been his bitterest opponents join
ed in complimenting him for his parlia-
mentary work and fairness. 1t may be
that Car Johnston will live TO see the
time when those who are the most bitter
against him will be his warm political.
friends
There is no doubt that the Governor won
notable political triumph in having the
constitutional convention act repealed
Some of the ablest politicians of his party
were against him, and his own record was
against him, because he had approved the
act calling the convention, but he tri-
umphed over all Obstacles and had his
way.
Now he is trying to avoid a consutu-
tional convention by having the legisla-
ture propose amendments TO the constitu-
ton, for submission to the people. 1t il
a question, of course, whether the iegisla-
ture. having been called for one purpose
only, namely. to repeal the constitutional
convention act, can legally legislate upon
other matters. There are two sides to the
question. Doubtless the Governor took
advice and made up his mind that the
legislature could do whatever he wanted
done before he called an extra session OF
It.
1t looks now as If amendments to the
constitution will be submitted to the peo-
pie. In that event it is probable that
those who want constitutional conven-
ton will endeavor to defeat the amend
ments.
1t is charged against Gov Johnston that
in having the constitutional convention act
repealed, he was animated by political am
bition He saw, it is claimed, that If the
convention were held certain men who
are his political enemies would come tc
the front, and would use their influence to
defeat whatever political aspirations he
might have. How much truth there is
in this view We are unable to say, bul
the fact that the Governor didn't veto the
constitutional convention act when he had
an opportunity to do so and the further
fact that he took steps to have the act
repealed when he found that delegates tc
the convention were being chosen who
were objectional to him, give color to IL
1t is probable that this constitutional con.
vention matter will cause dissensons in
the ranks of the democracy of Alabama
for a long time to come.

everything was explained. The circum-

WESTERN pIsHoPs PRoTEsT.

The Rev. DR.. Charles A. Briggs isn't go
ing TO have an easy time getting into the
priesthood of the Episcopal Church. In
deed, It is by no means certain that he will
get in at all. Bishop Nicholson. of the
Episcopal Church of Milwaukee, is quoted
as saying that many Western bishops are
protesting against his admission and the
proposed ordination and that the board of
bishops will give Bishop Potter an I'M
pleasant quarter of an hour if he carries
out his intention an respect to DR.. Briggs.
Among other things, Bishop Nicholson is
quoted as saying that. in his opinion,
Bishop Potter viii be called to account il
he ordains DIR. Briggs. Speaking of DR..
Briggs, he said: HE is an interloper, and
one of those low-mouthed fellows who al
ways make lot of noise and like notorie-
ty. His followers are few, though 1t would
appear to the unobservant that they repre-
sent a considerable part of the Episcopal
Church. do not regard him as a great or
strong man. I do not think he is worth
making fight over. 1t was mistake to
allow him in the church at all His teach
ings are heretical and his proper place,
manifestly. is outside of the church. He
is a vainglorious man, and 1t is to be
hoped that Bishop Potter win not listen TO
the sophistry of the few
1t is evident that II Bishop Potter lets
DIR. Briggs into the Episcopal Church there
win be trouble in that denomination And
it is not at all surprising that there is so
much opposition to DR.. Briggs. 1t seems
safe to say that he has done the cause of
religion more harm than Ingersol, the ag-
nostic The whole world recognizes Inger-
soil as a doubter, and comparatively little
attention is paid to what he says. DR..
Briggs, however, processes TO be believer,
an earnest searcher after truth, but he
has made more doubters than Ingersoll.
Only a few days ago Ingersor took occa-
sion TO say that these higher critics
have done more TO unsettle faith In the
Bible as an inspired book than has ever
been done by recognized unbelievers. AS
for DR.. Briggs, he declared that Calvin
would ehave burned him at the stake, and
through the flame and smoke would have
| shouted, you are dog of satan.'"
If DIR. Briggs succeeds in getting into the
priesthood of the Episcopal Church he will
not find his position comfortable one, and
| Bishop Potter will find that he has moi
done wise thing for the Episcopal
Church.

A WORD TO BOLTING DEMOCRATS,

If ex-Gov. Stone of Missouri speaks the
sentiments of the Southern and Western
Democrats 1t is probable that gold Demo-
Gratis who bolted the ticket in 1896 will
be shut ouss of the Democratic national
convention next year, provided they do
not In the meantime announce their will
ingness to accept the silver plank of the

have made open confession of that fact,
They viii not be let onto the next con-
vention. think I can say for the West
and the South that they would vote to
seat a contesting delegation of men known
to be loyal if New York should send any
delegates who bolted in 1896"
Mr.. Stone is in favor of re-affirming the
Chicago platform. He thinks nothing is
to be gained by abandoning any OF its
planks. II might be advisable, he thinks,

John Howard Todd. in Boston Transcript.
Two singers there were, and one was like
To queen in her royal gown
With stately step and pride agleam
In the deep of her eyes of brown;
And ones was face with a gentler
grace,
And eyes that a heart shone through
Eyes that borrowed the schoolday tint
OF a little sunbonnet of blue.
One was a singer of great renown,
Now stirring the blood with a note.
Now charming the ear with the cultured
tones
That came from her shapely throat;
And one was singer of songs of love.
And she knew not the ways of art,
But she sang right on past the ear and
poured
Rich melodies round the heart.
Two tributes of song-and one was lost
In the deafening volley of cheers:
And one throbbed on when the singer was
gone,
And the answer was silence and tears
An, many the day that has passed since
then,
And the singers who sang are not:
But memory holds 20 a little song.
And the other-forgot! forgot!

A STANDARD, SQUARE BALE.

A special effort is being made through
out the cotton belt TO have a standard.
square cotton bale adopted. This effort
is not a new one by any means. For
several seasons it has been made. but
thus far with only partial success. Last
year, in this state, from twelve to fifteen
per cent. of the cotton press boxes was
changed to the standard measurement.
whic6a is "a by 81.
The cotton growers, particularly those
who have gins, and the cotton ginners. do
not seem to appreciate the importance of
the standard bale. II is probable that it's
Importance would be appreciated if higher
railroad and ocean freights were charged
on cotton not baled in accordance with
the standard measurement. At the con-
vention of the cotton ginnersf associations
of Texas. held in Galveston the other
day. a synopsis of the proceedings of
which we publish this morning, a resolu-
ton was adopted by the Galveston Mari
time Association which provides that
cotton, in bales of greater dimensions than
the standard bale, and of less density than
% pounds to the cubic foot, shall pay eX-
ira freight to the amount of ten cents per
hundred pounds.
From this it will be seen that it has be-
come an important matter that the stand
ard for square bales shall be adopted
1t may cost something to change press
boxes which do not already conform to the
standard, but it will pay to make the
change. With uniformity in the bales a
greater number of bales can be carried
in cargoes, and hence the general adop-
ton of the standard bale would be fol-
lowed by a reduction in freight rates.

The District of Columbia fire depart

paratus, from which good results are ex-
pected. 1t is so simp.e a thing as a whis-
tie. Each fireman is provided with
whistle which produces a peculiar, shril
sound, altogether unlike the noise of any
other known instrument. If a fireman
gets into a close place and needs helps,
he blows his whistle and relief goes TO
him at once. The district chief hopes to
so perfect his whistle signal system that
in effect it viii be equal to providing
each fireman with a telephone.
