glo-German Agreement.

Germany, trade country, became afraid that in the complications of the Chinese case, she would be shut out from the great central valley, whose trade.is more to be ldesired than that of all the rest of the country As a measure of precaution she therefore came to an agreement with Eng land which has the upper hand at Shan ghai and generally in the great valley. The logical meaning of the agreement is that the two nations will seize the valley if Rus sia seizes Mouehurio.
 But Russia will not seize Manchura. She is not ready to seize anything. This trouble came while she was getting ready. It an- ticipated her by about five years, and it is fortunate for the world that it did. Russia . Jill back ont~of Manchuria, very unwill- -,1 gly ggllyybut she will go. retaining of course Sthe concessions that she had bought and bullied from the Dowager Empress. Secretary Hay is talking very big as to 2the third clause of the new agreement, but in the end he will accept it, for there is nothing else to do. The Chinese prob- lem is in fact adjusted by 1t, so far as the outlines are concerned. There is not much left for consideration except indemnities Territorial integrity and the "open door, are practically secured. Lord Salisbury first announced the "open door" and its support by the other nations entities him so cut another notch on his diplomatic gun.

HAZING AT ANNAPOLIS,

From the Boston Herald
 An order has been issued by the super intendent of the Naval Academy that here after any cadet known to have been pres ent at hazing without attempting to stop it shall be reported to the Navy Department with a recommendation for dismissal. The order is not retroactive and does not apply to the recent cases. This is the same old story of threatening with respect to future offenses and condonement of past ones. Hazing has been under official ban at An napolis, as at West Point, for years and years. Every cadet knows it. Does it stop? No. Why not? Because the punish ments threatened are not carried into effect when occasion arises. Why not? Because of political pull. Hazng can be stopped in both these institutions whenever it is seri- ously determined to stop it-that is to say, whenever the penalties proclaimed are en- forced without mercy and without parti- ality. There is no doubt that commandants as a rule would like to stop it, but they get their lesson when their Judgments are overruled at headquarters in Washington.

- DRESsMAKERSO ON A STRIKE.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Dressmaking in Minneapolis is practically at a standstil Women who cannot make their own dresses are at loss what to do. They must either remain in secluson or go out arrayed in old gowns. Over 300 wielders of the needle and thread are out on strike, determined to win their point or die.
 Many recruits have focked to the stand ard raised by the rebellious girls, and many non-union workers are now joining the union. The leaders of the organization say there Is but one grievance, and that is the number of hours which the girls are com pelled to work The doughty strikers de- mand extra pay for extra hours, and it is the opinion of many that they will gain their point. They refuse to take ten min utes for lunch, with but one sandwich composing a meal. Hair pulling and scratching may yet play very prominent part in the tie-up, as the idle dressmakers have assumed a determined attitude.
 Members of the mems unions of the city have pledged their moral and financial sup port, and this has tended to stiffen the baekbones of many of the strikers who were showing weakness, and now they mean to fight to a finish. Eight or nine dressmaking establishments of the city have already acceded to the demands, but others declare they will never give up.

the vote Is cut down hundreds of thous- ands, and interesting comparisons result. South Carolina, in 1896, casting less than 70,000 votes, had nine votes in the Elector- al College. while Minnesota. casting over three hundred and forty thousand, had, the same number. This year the proportions will be even greater.
 The same law that was used in Cuba, If applyed to the United States, would cut down the Presidential vote several mill lions. clear law, giving every one q years of age and over who is not crimi- nal or a pauper, or an idiot, the right to vote, would increase 1t several millions
 Municipal conditions improve slowly For instance in the ward where the Declar- ation of Independence was written there are thousands of illegal votes cast at every election.
 Massachusetts will allow no one to vote who cannot read and write the English language while Mississippi confines the suffrage to those who can read or under stand the Constitution. Such contrasts can be found in many of the other state laws There is, in fact, even after cen tury of suffrage legislation, no uniformity except in the fact that most of the states have the mechanical arrangement of the Australian system some modification of

Cuba and the Cubans.

s The convention of thirty-one that the Administration has called is to meet in Havana next week and all evidence at hand goes to show that it will be controlled by lot of adventurers who have small interests in the island. They are, as a rule, professional agitators and demagogues. Some of them are negroes, full-biooded. "Hnd majority of them have negro blood sin their veins. The radical section or group of the island will undoubtedly control the convention, and they have already given .nouce that they will listen to nothing that abates in the least absolute independence. They do not propose to consider the cost ~of the war for their freedom to the United States, or the responsibility this country 'would be under for bringing into existence "a Cnban republic
 One of the first duties of the convention sswill consist in determining the relations gof the new republic and the United States, and here trouble is sure to arise if the rad icals go on unchecked; for no constitution can go into effect until it is approved by that the convention of thirty-one, mostly radicals will be able to do anything of a permanent satisfactory nature. Their work will doubtless be rejected and the en- tire problem will go oyer to some date un- known and at present very indefinite.

TWAIN ON ENGLISH FAMILY HOTELS.

From the Boston Globe.
 Mark Twain was his own droll self again in describing just before sailing for home that British institution, an English family hotel. He declared; An English private hotel was once the best in the world. It is still the quietest but its other merit Is in decay It is lingering along upon its bygone honorable reputation. Many elderly English people still cling to 1t from inherited habit and arrested development. Rich Americans frequent it through ignorance and supersti- tion. They find in it's austere solemnity and Sabbath repose a delicate charm which makes up for high charges and medieval inconvenience"

BRAZiLIN FINANCIAL STRAITS.

From the New York Tribune.
 iWht automobiles building pretty nearly all over the world and the trade booming at a rate which knows no pause or ebb, it would seem as if the price of rubber, so large factor in the composition of the vehicle, besides it's other uses, ought to go up instead of down; but the contrary seems to be the case at present. Brazil is just now going through financial crisis, and one of it's causes appears to be the low price of that commodity, which is one of its chief commercial productions There are, of course, other factors in the depression, and the country, no doubt, needs thor ough revision of its financial, currency and banking systems, all of which should be secured without much difficulty. It's pro- ductive capabilities in certain directions are practically limitless, and their devel- opment only needs sound business methods With these the republic ought to grow rich in short order, with surplus ill bank and its paper gilt edge the world over It wants a great and increasing quantity of our commodities and may reasonably look for help from our financiers when ever it can judiciously be extended

CURIOUS SUFFRAGE CONDITIONS.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 One of the most interesting facts of the times is the condition of the elective fran chise in this closing year of the century that has contributed moro to human free dom than all that went before. It is not that liberty is any the less, but that the differences in suffrage laws are so vast
 For instance the government of the United States in framing the regulations for voting in the new islands placed in them restrictions more severe than those of any of its states. In other words Presi- dents McKinley's administration promul- gated a qualifying suffrage. In the cleo tions which were held in Cuba not one- third of the men of voting age could vote. The same law in Ohio would keep tens of thousands of voters away from the polling booths
 In the Southern states there has been a candid and earnest movement to disfran- ciise the negro. The consequence is that

GEORGIA END
Of the English Divorce Suit-Story from
 Augusta

Augusta, Ga, October A.-The Associat- ed Press cable dispatch from London, Oc- tober 9, telling of the pending divorce suit between the Marquise of Anglesey and her husband has occasioned much comment here, the girlhood home of the woman who preceded the present Marchioness in that title. She Is the daughter of the late John P. King, for thirty years United States Senator from Georgia, and for many years president of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company.
 It was seventeen years ago when Mrs Minna Woodhouse. then a widow, became the Marchioness of Anglesey The step in cured the displeasure of the Queen, who ever after refused the Marquis recognition at court. Gossip had it at the time that this was not because the Queen objected to the American alliance. but because the old Marquis, who had been twice before married, was then engaged to an English lady, which engagement he broke to mar ry Mrs. Woodhouse.
 About year ago the old marquis died and was succeeded in the title by the son of his first wife, who had married cousin of his and who Is now seeking a divorce. The former Marchioness has made her home in England ever since her marriage.

Scarcity of Money

London, October PA dispatch to the Daily Mail from Stockholm, Sweden, says:
 ''The extraordinary scarcity of money, which has been growing more acute for a month, is so seriously affecting commer- cal circles as to threaten a crisis. The balance of foreign trade continues against Sweden, and the repeated contraction of gold loans abroad fail to pailiate the situ- ation.

THE STRENUOUS CANDIDATE.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel
 It would be quite impossible to take this bloviating braggart seriously if the lottery of politics had not made him Governor of the Empire State and the candidate of a great party for the Vice Presidency of the United States. While he has his good qual- ities, no doubt he is utterly wanting in the dignity, the boise, the stability of character which the incumbent of great civic office should possess. He is simply a hair -brained egotist, a harum-skarum, daredevil of a fellow, with little more conception of real statesmanship than a Comanche Indian and wholly united for the office he holds or for the Presidency, to which he aspires

GENERAL STATEMENT
Covering Trade of the Philippine Is
 lands

Washington. October 2i.-The division of customs and insular affairs of the War De- partment made public today a general statement covering the trade of the Phil ippine Islands for the first nine months of the fiscal year ended June 30, last The statement shows that the total of mer- chandise, gold and silver imported during this period was $16, 751, 500 and exported $14- 634 236
 The exportation of Manila hemp was val ued at $S, 106,340; of raw sugar, $1,Sl5,140 to- bacco and it's manufactures, s1,522, ,071; and cepperas $6O7, ,055.
 Of the total importation of 4.015, ,O49 worth of cotton and it's manufactures, the share from the United States was only $15134. It would thus appear, says the statement. that an unusual opportunity exists for our cotton growers merchants and manufac- turers to compete with other countries for a greater volume of this trade.

New York city's Vote,

The registration of voters in Greater New York is completed. and the compiled figures show a gain over 1896 of 6S.9S9. The registration in the big town foots up 640,- tgS
 There is one thing upon which all are agreed, namely. the apathy was apparent, not real, for vote will be cast on No vember outrunning any previous vote. Registration in New York must be person. ally sought. and a man who does not in- tend to vote does not take upon himself the trouble of registration. The vote will bs about 600 900. It will be record-breaker sThe bluffing Republican spellbinders and eSteemed organs claim that the increased registration points with unerring finger to a plurality for William Mckinley and Roosevelt, too. But there are two points they leave out of their outgivings. They do not mention the well known fact that many Democrats did not register in 1896 Very many did not. They are registered this year. Nor do they mention the unus- ually heavy changes from downtown dis trlcts to uptown districts. This alone up- sets their figures as to registration in Dem ocratic and in Republican precincts.
 sThe truth is, the New York figures are very uncertain in their significance. MT. Croker interprets them one way, and MT. Platt another. The only thing the public 1rally knows is, the vote is to be unpre- cedentedly large. and it may mean a land slide in favor of one side or the other.

creased, while we have stood still, or per- haps slipped back? On what meat hath these prosperous towns and counties fed that they have grown so great?"
 The value of the census will be largely lost unless the stagnant or deeaying com and endeavor to answer them. Why should Cleburne with its gold mines, vineyards and water powers slip back? or Lawrence, in the fruitful Tennessee valley? A dozen other counties are stagnant-why is it? Barbour County has a productive soil, a big river and ample railroad facilities, and vet il does not grow. Clayton and some river town should establish cotton mills. Calhoun County is preparing to do better. Ii is waking up, and 1910 will tell a very different story. Choctaw has no railroad, and unless 1t pulls itself together and builds one to Meridian or York or Thomasville, il will join the backsliders. And there is Coosa-it needs stub line to Rockford and cotton mill or two. And, to conclude, what is the matter of Limestone? It is fertile river county, beautiful to look at, admirable in every respect except from a census point of view. Athens should get up motion. Let us give the pretty town credit for what il is doing. Like Anniston and Huntsville, it began rather late, but it Eustling now, and all will be well in 1910.
