MEANING OF BAILEY,s VICTORY

COr ot LOUIS GlODe-DemOcrat
 Ten years ago Texas, through the influ- ence of Mir. Hogg and his coterie, commit- ted itself to policy that put the most severe restrictions on railroads and cor porations generally. The spirit of most of the laws then enacted regarding capital was no doubt wise but in the application grave injustice was done, moneyed men were antagonized, and Texas soon became a bugaboo for investors. The anti-corpora- tion sentiment, engendered and nourished by MT. Hogg, grew to almost fanaticism Then came the reaction. It was shock to his admirers when Hogg, who, as gov ernor, kept himself busy conceiving and fashioning new styles of brides and re- strictions, became, immediately upon quit ting the gubernatorial chair corporation lawyer. It was also a shock when, the Southern Pacific railroad having been caught violating the rebate law. Attorney General Crane compromised the cases for about one-tenth of the penalty.
 These happenings made the rampant anti-corporation people extremely sus- picicious of all their old political gods. From being idol worshipers they changed to iconoclasts It was but natural then that when the industrial wave struck Tex as, when crops were good anu pS:HeS were fine, when instead of poverty there was prosperity, and when talk turned upon flour mills and cotton mills, new railroads, and new industries generally, the people should turn against any one connected di- rectly or indirectly with the anti-capital crusade.
 This triumph of Joseph w. Bailey for the seratorship may, therefore, be taken as a Ioosening of Texas from the policy of Hogg and Hoggism-rot that any such issue was brought into the contest, but be- cause in choosing Bailey the people cast adrift a strong man with whom Hogg's political fortunes were closely identified
 Many good citizens are sorry to see Chill ton go down in defeat but if 1t really means an end to the anti-capital crusaders. the conservative people of the state will reioice,

WALLACE TO BE DEF ORTEp

From the Washington Times.
 It is strongly believed that there is some thing more than idle rumor in the report that General Lew Wallace has been asked by the president to go to Constantinople and collect the small debt owed to Uucle Sam by the terrible, turbaned Turk Min ister Straus left the Sublime Porte in high dudgeons a month or more ago, and 1t is an open secret that he refuses to return to his post until the willy sultan disgorges. General Wallace has been in high dudgeons, too, ever since the Oxnard tariff bill was fastened on Porto Rico, and he has been making quite as much of a stir among the Hooisers as Minister Straus has managed to bring about among the Turks. Like most old men. General Wallace is said to talk nearly all the time, and it is stated that he never fails to get an appreciative audience when he walks around among the Hoosiers. The proposition now is to utilize to the best possible advantage this ire pressible garrulousness of General Wallace
 As it is desired that men like him should be abroad in Hoosierdom at present, and as 1t is advisable to send somebody to Con- stantinople who will talk until the Grand Turk coughs up,'' there is excellent reason why General Wallace should be dispatched to the Sublime Porte post haste It is be- lieved the old gentleman will fall into the trap set for him. If he is the only Ameri- can citizen who collect the money from the impecunious sultan without a fight, then General Wallace will dare not refuse to answer his countrys call to duty.

FiII;nu Vacancies.

"In case of Q vacancy in the Cnited States senate," says the Selma Times, 'it would be hard to tell whether General oates or Solicitor Smith would have the call on Governor Sanford. We are a little inclined to the opinion that Smith would get the plum
 The 'ff'' in this case is altogether too large-sized. All accounts from Washington ators are growing younger instead of older, and that their efficiency and influence were never greater. It is therefore a waste of space to imagine vacancy. There will be none in all human probability. There will certainly be none if Alabama herself be consulted. When the decisions of the April primaries are read between the lines it will be found that the people of Alabama voted to keep their senior senator in his seat dur ing the remainder of his natural life, and they also voted by analogy to give him as a colleague the states junior senator to the end of his natural life. That is just about the size of the verdict, as all men will be able to see about two years from now Alabama is content with her representa- lives in the senate, and it is altogether too earl yto talk about their successors, for that Is subject that goes over to some indefinite, unknown period of another cen- tury.

Nicaraqua Bill in the House.

The overwhelming sentiment of the coun- try in favor of an immediate beginning of the work of building the Nicaragua canal found expression in the house when the Hepburn bill, which Senator Morgan en- dorses, was passed by vote of 225 to 35. The bill was not amended in any essen- tial particular. It provides for a canal from Creytown on the Caribbean sea to Breto on the Pacific ocean, along the San Juan river and through Lake Nicaragua. The canal is not to cost more than $1f0,0 900, including terminals, and $1o,O0O,O0O is appro- priated by the bill with view to an im- mediate beginning of the work of securing rights of way from the republics of Costa Riea and Nicaragua, of making surveys, and of excavating and constructing canal The bill is short and to the point. It is ample. It is just what the country demands It is the continuation of an ef- fort that has covered fifty-four years. In all that time the transcontinental rail- roads have fought for delay and secured it. but public sentiment has grown so strong in favor of all isthman canal that they were swept aside when the test in the house came.
 And yet as Mir. Underwood pointed out in the house debate the enemies of the bill were there and they did not care whether delay was based on the fact that the Walk cr commission had not reported, on g pref crence for tho Panama route. or on the sfortificat!ou'' issue-all they wanted was more delay, and they did not care on what ground 1t was secured. They did not se- cuIs it on any ground. Neither Mir. Cam nnn's broadsides, nor ali the efforts of

Peace in Big Chunks.

Unanmity and concord and peace and a devotion to business seem to have struck this state at just about the center and to be total from one side of it to the other. Not only are all glad that the champion of the Nicaragua canal, which is to make the port of the state one of the front doors of the republic, is confirmed in his seat, but from every part of the state come warm commendatory words in favor of Colonel Sanford. He is everywhere regarded as man eminently fit for exective duties. If discordant opinion has appeared in print from democratic sources it has escaped the eye of the Age-Herald's exchange reader. Like unanimity sanctions the other nom- nations of the democratic state conven- tion; and of late the suggestion that | Francis L. Pettus be called again to the | speakership is commanding an approval

 with, and strong and acceptable and fair minded man is needed in the speakers chair. MT. Pettus' capacity for such serv-
 ice is well known to all Alabamians, and the Selma Times was not oyer enthusiastic when it said that he was the finest presid- ing officer the state had known, with the possible exception of Leroy Pope Walker. MT. Pettus seems to have no opposition. Peace and unanimity prevail, and the mid dIe-of-the-roaders and the republicans are now the only disturbers of the new politi- cal Garden of Eden; and they are not nu- merous enough to create much dscord.

WILD ANIMALS ON THE BATTLEFIELl

Julian Ralph in Truth.
 The veldt abounds with animals and birds, and 1t is strange thing that we see them in the greatest number during battle. At such time the ant-bears and the myriad meer-cats, which are sort of squirrel, hide in their holes in the ground; but the several varieties of small deer, the cartridges, pheasants and huge bustards find themselves driven into the open cen ter of each battlefield between the oppos- ing armies. do not think we have fought a battle under Methuen during which I have not seen droves of stein bok Ca deer the size of a half-grown kid) rushing wildly at and through our lines. Snakes, scorpions, tarantulas and great, repulsive spiders are so common that I have killed five scorpions in my tent in a single morn- ing-so common as to keep us all and al- ways on our guard when we are lying down. They are all venomous, but do not think they are nearly as likely to kill with their bites and stings as are those similar insects and reptiles that are found in the East and West Indies and in India.

LADY METHUEN STAYS AT HOME rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Lady Methuen is one of the very many who have taken to heart Sir Alfred Mli- ner's lecture about visitors being not want ed Much as she had looked forward to joining her husband she has most wisely given up the idea.
 But why have Lady Roberts and her two daughters gone to the front?" said q well-known military critic. "Just as though Lord Roberts has not got more than enough on his hands already! Girls are more likely than not to catch enteric fever. Then that will be enough to break him up entirely with anxiety on top of the anxieties he already has"
 Certainly there appears plenty of good sense in the above remarks.

THE ONLY DAILY aswspApEa IN ALABAMA
Oneninu inc Warrior River.

If is not plain as yet how much money Alabama's waterway, but the sums are of goodly proportions. A special dispatch to the Age-Herald makes the amounts as fol- lows:
 For the Black Warrior .............S 14o500 For Mobile harbor ................... 9oV0oo For the Warrior and Tombigbie.... 440Oo0
 Total ...... ...... ...... .$l, 0S05O0
 If these are the amounts named in the bil the importance of keeping in the house experienced and we'll known members is again exemplified. Messrs. Underwood and Banlxhead and their associates can accom- plish tasks in opening the chief waterway of Alabama that new men could not move at all. Until this waterway stands com- plete we cannot afford to swap congress sional horses It would not be business to do so. MT. Pankhead has already been renominated, and MT. Underwood will be in the regular course of political action.
 No one scarcely appreciates the value to the mineral district of Alabama of a water way to the sea; and yet all know that coal has risen from about sf a ton to SC or bet ter in all European ports, and that this is due to conditions that promise to be per- manent There is in fact a worldwide de- mand arising for American coal. Ala bama coal is nearer the sea than West Virginia coal, hut owing to transportation charges, in part, West Virginia coal is filling the European markets, while Ala bama coal is disregarded. This will not be the case when slack water navigation in the Warrior reduces transportation to the seaboard to figures below 50 cents. When that is done English competition will become impossible, and an immense ex- port trade will be open to the operators of this section. The coal trade of the dis trict will go up by leaps and bounds. This is what Messrs. Underwood and Bankhead are fighting for, and their success is our success. We owe them at least open and hearty appreciation of their efforts.

Daisies and violets peep through tho grass, Buttercups beckon and bow as you pass, Tiny dream-fairies in tunics of blue Bring sweetest dreams in the garden for you. Lullaby, hushaby, hasten away Over the bridges till dawn of the day; Short is the journey to hours of delight Lullaby, hushaby. baby, goodnight

REFLECrIoNs OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 The only right way to win woman is to make her think she wants to win you.
 A man can always be sure that two or three other women will know exactly what he says when he proposes.
 Making love to woman is a lot like go- ing fishing-you better take more bait than you think you'll need.
 When a girl tells a man she dreamed about him last night it is sign she is go- ing to begin calling him by his first name.
 If mems clothes were sewed together the way the average woman's are no man could walk block without getting arrested.
