Johnston Carries Russell.

Governor Johnston seems tos have cap- tured Russell county in the senatorial con- test Saturday. The governor stumped the county himself. He was assisted by the best and most energetic workers of his machine. Senator Morgan was unable to visit the county himself, though some of his friends were there to represent him. Had he visited the field the result would probably have been different. However, the outcome in Russell will have but i'ttle effect upon the eventual result of the sen- atordal contest in the state Senator Nor gan is far ahead in the counties which have already acted, and he will probably carry three-fouTths of the counties yet to act, and be overwhelmingly returned to the senate. But Johnston is making an ener- getic campaign, and has demonstrated that he is active dn the field.

although no one knows just how or why it became needful on that account; and now when 1t Is not needed as a war measure it's retention becomes questionable. The order excludes the Chinese from the Philippines as they arc excluded from the states.
 From time out of mind the Chinese have been the traders and developers of the Phil ippines. They are the best merchants in the east. They stand ready to promote any industry that promises to be remunerative. To close the door against them in the Philippines seems unwise when we are seek ing an open door in China. At any rate no reason has been furnished for such policy. The British and the Dutch and the Rus sians do not apply such a rule, and General Otis reasons for his order should be made known. Congress should look into the mat ter. A military order in the Philippines should not now be permitted to block the way to American trade in China, unless there are reasons for 1t that the world out side of General Otis does not understand

A PERTINENT sUGGEsTION

To the Editor of The Age-Herafd.
 It seems that the newspapers of Alabama have fallen into error in supposing that their readers are only interested in the question of who shall be the nominee of the democratic party for governor, and whether Governor Johnston shall be elected United States senator by our next general assem- bly. At least this seems true in the reports of the democratic primaries which have been held prior to this time.
 There are a great many democrats in Alabama who are interested in the result of the action of the next state democratic convention upon the question of imperial ism and the endorsement of the Chicago platform, and candidate for the presi- dency
 Up to this time about five or six counties have elected delegates to the next state convention, and not one line has appeared in any of the leading papers of the state as to how those delegates stand upon these important questions, or, if so. 1t has escap- ed my attention.
 am surprised that the democratic news papers of the state should have overlooked a matter of such vital importance to all thoughtful and patriotic men. Very respectfully,

From the Salt Lake Herald.
 The other night Dago and chinaman were holding a heated discussion on the corner of Second South and State streets. For time it was difficult to tell what the subject in dispute was. At last it dawned upon the group surrounding them that the South African war was being discussed in a manner never before heard.
 'T telle Bulle never giet over the liver, ale same Boer shoot &lse hellee," said the Chinaman, who was championing the Boers "old Paule gilt out on hill; big gun shoot acclos ocean, knock Ladysmithe down. Bulle lun, you bet"
 Big guns, bah!'' retorted the Dago. "Boers has no guns, English has thous- ands. Lots mans, twelve million. Gen. eral Bulla go downa river up Potgizer's drift General Otis and Farnstrom coma up with million man, Jubbit run all over de hill"
 "Lun!" yelled the Mongolian, "him not muchee! Men gilt behind loks, kill fifty, Bullee kill one. English no good, China man make English lun, you bet"
 General Otis," began the Dago.
 General Otis Is no good, too," inter- posed the Chinaman. Flight Chinaman by Hongkong Otis luns. too Can't see him."
 ''Well, Farmstrom," started the Dago.
 "Farnstrom lun, too, you bet; Pau1e shoot all to pieces"
 Here the distinguished Mongolian started on a trot from Plum alley.

Common Schools and Colleges.

Illinois has the most students enrolled in dts colleges and universities, and 1t Is therefore claimed that it is the best edu- cated state in the union. New York is sec nnd. Pennsylvania third, Ohio fourth. Ten nessee fifth and Missouri sixth. But these figures relate to class education and are misleading It is interesting, however, to know that Tennessee has 713s enrolled stu dents in her colleges, and Missouri nearly as many.
 But in the common schools the true test of the state of education in a state Is to be found Kansas stands at the head of the list, for she has higher percentage of en- rolled scholars than any other state. West Virginia comes next having an enrolment which is 2727 per cent of her population. Utah is next, her percentage being 26.75. Iowa's percentage is 2613 and Tennessee's 25.66. Again it is seen that Tennessee is the fifth state. Mississippi, state that appro- priated a million dollars last week to pub lie schools, has a percentage of 25.3S, which is higher than the percentage of either New York or Massachusetts. Public education is gaining ground rapidly in the west and south; and the number in the public schools should concern us much more than the number in the colleges and universities. The one is, however, apt to lead up to the other, the higher education supplementing the work fin the common schools The state that watches its public schools the most carefully will oot be a state afflicted with a high percentage of illiterates, and it will probably be state that has high per centage in colleges.

HE ONLY DaIlY nEMspApEs IN ALABAMA
Not a Setback at All.

The proposed appropriation of s1o0O0,OOO for beginning the work on the Nicaragua canal should not be construed as an act in opposition to its early construction. On the contrary it is a guaranty that the ca- nal will be built. and that, too. very speed- ly. Once the work is begun, 1t cannot be stopped without incurring vast losses. The entire district to be traversed by a canal is subject to great rainfalls, and work, once begun, will necessarily be con- tlnuous.
 The sum named by the house committees is all that can be expended before congress meets again-probaby more than can be expended; and there is therefore no reason why the friends of the canal should not accept the proposition, as Senator Morgan has done. As amended 1t is stated that there are only eighty-nine members of the house out of 356 who will oppose the bill. The senate under Senator MorganS lead- ership has long been friendly to the con- struction of the canal No trouble will be encountered in that body while Senator Morgan is member of it. The house is the place of difficulty, and as the house can be won over by limiting the first ap- propriation to what can be spent before congress reassembles, there is no reason why any friend of the canal should oppose the proposition.
 The New York Journal claims that un- less the entire sum is appropriated that fili- clustering tactics might stop the work at any time. This is hardly probable. No party will care to be responsible for heavy waste in work already done, and the will of the majority always has prevailed, and probably always will prevail. The change to an initial appropriation of s10OOO,o0O is, in other words, reasonable and unobjec- tionable. It in no wise endangers the con- struction of the canal in the time named; namely, six years.

CHILDREN IN L sDysMITH

From a Transvaal Letter
 One of the war correspondents shut up in Lady sends interesting particulars of the cheery manner in which the people in the besieged town spent Christmas Bay.
 The children had an especially good time. Two hundred of the little folk were entertained at a feast at which they had abundance of the customary dainties and even luxuries. The feast was under the chief control of Colonel Dartnell and Ma Jor Karri-Davies, Who gleefully distributed the good things with their own hands.
 There were four Christmas trees, named respectively Britain, Natal. Canada and Australia, Sir George White and General Hunter were among the numerous com- pany that witnessed the festive proceed ings.

Chinese Exclusion in the Philippines.

The Chinese population of this country is very considerable. Every large city has its Chinatown, and then there are thous- ands of them in Hawaii, in Cuba, and in the Philippines. All told, there are nearly a million of Chinese living under the Amer ican flag, and their treatment becomes a matter of general interest to the Chinese government and Chinese people. If we mal- treat them then assuredly we will not be received when we seek Chinese trade and an "open door" Russia may consent to an open door, but China herself has not been friendly to it. The Chinese must. therefore be concil.a ted, and this cannot be done if we misuse the Chinese.
 Now that the Luzon rebellion is practically crushed, our troops holding nearly every important point on the island, including all the ports. General Otis order directed against the Chinese deserves consideration. Ut was no doubt adopted as war measure.

cARNEeIE's PHILANrHRoPHY

From the Boston Herald
 That is neat remark of MT. Carnegie's s explaining why he prefers to give his money to establish public libraries. He says:
 My preference for free libraries as a means of helping the swimming, not the submerged, tenth is that libraries give nothing for nothing. In order to get benefit from them a man must help himself, must read and study You cannot boost a man up ladder if he does not do a little of the climbing himself. It is only pouring water into a sieve to give money to those who have no desire to improve their condition"
 MT. Carnegie here sets forth in very small space his whole scheme of philanthropy and the principles on which it Is based. It is creditable alike to his head and his heart, and he seems to be practcing exactly what he breaches.

Encountered Great Haraships

Captain Lawton. with a fresh command assumed the arduous and almost impossi- ble task of pursuing the Apaches persist ently through the broken country of So- nora for nearly three months. He follow ed them from one range of mountains to another, over peaks which were ten or twelve thousand feet above the level of the sea, and frequently in the depths of canons where the heat in July was of tropical intensity. Because of this heat the men could not bear their hands on the metal parts of their rifles, nor on the rocks.
 So inured had the Apaches become to the thin, dry air that in passing from one to another of these almost parallel ranges their movements were almost as rapid as the native Rocky Mountain sheep, and their disappearance from the peaks was as Rlagical

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Lawton ehosen for the Pursuit

When General Miles assumed command of the department of Arizona on April 12, 1886, his attention was called to the hostile members of the chiricahua band of Apaches whose depredations and fiendish atrocities had created feeling of insecur- ity through scattered settlements along the borders. writes Captain R. G. Carter in Golfers Weekly. /
 General Miles so disposed his troops as to afford the best protection to the citi- zens of Arizona, and also organized an ef- fectve force to pursue marauding bands In old Mexico. For the command of this special column he selected Captain Henry Ware Lawton. of the Fourth '. s. cavai- ry. an officer whose record during the war and subsequently, had been most brilliant, and whose splendid physique, character and high attainments as an efficient com mander of men peculiarly fitted him for this task

Willing to Surrender

During this time Lieutenant Gatewo od Sixth cavalry, with two Chiriral1ua Indians who had been charged with a commission to enter the Indian camp and demand their surrender, joined Lawton. On August 13 Jawton received fnformation that the Apacihes were moving toward the Terras mountains. He marched immediately to head them off. By making forced marches inc arrived near Fronteras on the 20th, and. learning that the Indians had expressed to the Mexicans a desire to surrender, Lieu tenant Gatewood went forward at once with his friendly Chiricahuas to communi- cate with them, but found the Mexican au- thorftfes already trying to negotiate terms Gatewood, however, sent his Indians for ward and soon learned that the Indians had moved their camp. This fact he communi- cated to LaWton.

Did What He Came to Do

On the evening of the 24th Lawton came up with Gatewood, and found him in com munication with the fugitives; but on his return from their camp he reported that they declined to make an unconditional sur render, and wished him to bear certain mes sages to General Miles Lawton persuaded Gatewood to remain with him, believing that the Indians would yet come to terms The following morning Geronimo came into Lawton's camp and intimated his desire to make peace but wished to talk with Gen oral Mdles In tine course of the talk Gero- nimo. after looking Lawton over, grunted out the remark:
