Morgan County Again.

That Morgan county alone on the fateful day in April should have cast a vote against Senator Morgan seemed indeed strange but 1t now appears that the vote was but product of machine politics. It appears from a petition signed by Dennis Tidwell, Claude F. Drake and J. A. West that the official ticket printed for use in the primaries of the county bore the names of delegates nominated by beat committee men. There were no blank lipes on it in which to write the names of other can didates; and yet Senator Morgan lost the county by fl votes only. The voters con- trived in one way or another to scratch off and scratch in nearly enough names to give Alabama's great senator the support of the county.
 This is an academic matter only, for no result will be changed by 1t: but as like trick was utilized in selecting beat com- mitteemen it would be but justice to the county and to honest politics to see that public sentiment in it has expression. The subject has been referred to the new state executive committee, and doubtless proper action will be taken in good season.
 The true remedy for all such devices is direct popular action in every county in the state. Such action should not be left to county authorities when the county is acting upon questions that effect the en- tire state. If the late senatorial contest had been nip and tuck, the unfair action of the Morgan county committee might have been decisive. It would be well to cut off all such opportunities by ordering in de- tail direct popular vites in all state con tentions.

POPULARITY OF "JoE. CANNON

From the Washington Post.
 A very warm place in the heart of North Carolina democrats has Uncle Joe'' Cam non. It doesn't matter about his politics, whether he is framing appropriation bills, seated placidly at the head of a long ma hogany table. nor whether with his col lars and cuffs of a striped blue pattern, he is hopping about in the republican aisle fighting items that seem too generous. The North Carolinians remember that he was once a Tar Heel born down at Gull ford, and, as a boy, romped over the Tar Heel country.
 The other day Representative Kluttz, whose home city of Salisbury is a great center for the manufacture and distiIla- tion of good corn whisky, had a case of several bottles that had grown old in wood. In distributing these among some friends MT. Kluttz included Uncle Joe as a man who ought to remember the ex- cellence of the native product

BRYAN NOT TO YIELD
James Creelman in New York Journ;

James Creelman in New York Journal
 There is but one serious point of differ ence between the most extreme of the conservative democrats of the east and the great body of the party which support ed MT. Bryan in 1896. Many of the eastern leaders desire to have the ratio of 16 to 1 omitted from the money plank of the plat form The leaders in the south and west are practically unanimous in their opposi- tion to any change.
 l have been present at several impor- tant conferences of democrats represent ing these two views of party policy, and l can speak with some certainty of the actual situation. The aim and intention of the great mass of the party who were loyal four years ago has been to readopt the Chicago platform, and to incorporate it, word for word, in the platform to be made in Kansas City on July 1.
 I can say authoritatively that Mir Bryan will oppose the abandonment of a single plank in the Chicago platform. It is demonstrable that an overwhelming ma jority of the next democratic national convention will refuse to abandon, alter or modify the Chicago platform.
 The one great question that now remains before the democratic leaders is this: Will the Kansas City convention content itself with a simple reaffirmation of the plat form of 1896 in three or four lines and devote the rest of its utterances to the issues of 1900. or will the convention re- iterate the Chicago platform? All other questions are, for the present, subordinate to this. rEJ

The natives of wealth and education are exceeded in pride by none but Spanish don. Not only the men, but the women, are glad of an opportunity to go into do- nestle service at wages that would seem absurdly low In this country. What can they do? Cook, sew, make beds launder and keep house tidy. To be sure, they don't do all things just as New England housewives would want them done but the great charm about the Malay is his teach ability. He can quickly learn to do any thing commonplace, and many things above that plane. As servant, he is quick reg ular, cheerful and respectful No matter how absurd or misplaced the duties are that are thrust upon him, he performs them without audible comment

June Elections in Cuba.

By order of General Wood elections for municipal officers are to be held through out the big island on June Is. Heretofore all elections have been travesties upon the name, being simply ratification meet ings of choices made by Spanish officials; but General Wood Is distributing blank ballots and detailed information that calls for an election in the American sense.
 The elections are based on a population of 1,572,797. as ascertained- in the recent census. census taken in 1887 showed q population of 1,631,6 but it is impossible to say how correct either is. The popula ton is, however, probably not decreasing. According to the returns 1,0521 156 are re- turned as whites, and 505 AS as negroes and mulattoes. The best informed say these proportions are misleading; that many have been counted as whites who have negro blood in their veins; that the population is in fact about half and half"
 Of the white males over 21 years old 96,OS3 were born in Spain: the rest are with few exceptions natives. Some of the SpaniardB decline to surrender Span- ish citizenship, and as an educational qualification Is demanded. the entire vote will not, it is thought, exceed 140,0OO. even if the Cuban veterans are permitted to vote regardless of educational qualifica- tions, as they probably will be. General Sanger, director of the Cuban census, sees no reason for anticipating that the coming vote will result in turning the. island over to the control of Spain.
 General Wood is dealing with a delicate problem. He is endeavoring to teach the Cubans the clements of self government, and he and his aides are giving the task a great deal of attention. The size of the vote and the freedom from outside influences, as well as the wisdom of the selections, will show how far the Cubans are fitted for the government of their island. The census was encouraging; for 1t showed that large proportion of the natives can read and write.

GATES CANNOT BE SHORT OF MONEY

DlSDdtCn
 A story going the rounds in Wall street today is that John w. Gates, of the Steel and Wire company, carried a check for s1 100000 in his pocket for three days be- cause he forgot to deposit it. The sum represented the amount he made in the raid on Steel and Wire. He had received it from the brokers who handled his business in settlement of his account and he placed 1t in his pocketbook and forgot all about it. When the brokers got their passbook from their bank on Monday they found that they had 100000 more to their credit than was shown by their own books. They called up MT. Gates and asked him if he had deposited his check. Forgot all about it." he answered nonchalantly. Then he deposited it. A man who can forget S1, 200 900 for three days, while carrying it in his pocket, can hardly be expected to be short of money for current expenses.

TROUGH WE REPENT

Louise Chandler Moulton in Scribner's. Though we repent, can any good give back The dear, lost days we might have made
 so fair,
 Turn false to true and careless to care And let us find again what now we lack? Oh, once, once more to tread the old-time
 track
 The flowers we threw away once more to
 wear! Though we repent, can any good give back The dear lost days we might have made
 so fair? Who can repulse a stealthy ghosts attack, Silence voice that doth the midnight
 dare,
 Make fresh hopes spring from the grave
 sod of despair Set free a tortured soul from memorys
 rack? Though we repent, can any good give back The dear, lost days we might have made
 so fair?

Nebraska. and Gallinger of New Hamp-

Nebraska, and Gallinger of New Hamp- shire.
 Five democrats voted for Quay and one was paired for him. The five were Daniel of Virginia, Morgan of Alabama, Sullivan of Mississippi Taliaferro of Florida and MeLaurin of Mississippi, while Kenney of Delaware was paired for him.
 The fact that Hanna took pains to pair against Quay made the latter's defeat pos sible and the Ohio senator is credited with being responsible for the defection of Me Cumber of North Dakota and Kean of New Jersey from Quay. All of these re- publicans had until day or so been quot ed as favorable to Quay and at one time or another had expressed themselves for him. Hanna had voted to seat Corbett of Oregon whose case was quite similar to that of Quay. But even after these with drawals from the Quay forces Quay could have been seated had Vest preferred friendship to duty.
 Why did Senator Hanna fight Quay? That is the question many people would like to have answered. Did he do so be- cause the president desired Quay kept out of the senate? Was MT. Hanna following the presidents wishes? Or what was the reason? Some there be who assert that Hanna thought by opposing Quay he could enlarge the republican campaign fund this autumn. This is gossiped about, but it seems inconceivable that a vote could be secured by such means.
 What will be the effect of this defeat upon Quay and upon politics in Pennsyl- vania? That question, too, arouses great interest. It would seem as if it would tend to disintegrate the Quay machine in Penn sylvania. Quay has fighting him in that state many astute politicians. MT. Wana- maker is not to be so classed, but Chris Magee of Pittsburg is. Quay by the force of his boss-ship held many members of the Pennsylvania legislature in line. They felt sure he could be seated. Now his "pulr' on the senate has been shown to be too weak to carry him through. Will not, then, this defeat make Quay's home fight harder and end finally in his forced political retirement?
 Then, there is another side to this busi- ness. Quay has represented in the senate the political boss. Some of his methods have not been regarded as commendable. He has been considered as a most unde- srabe senatorial type. It is not probable that the senates action, coming so close it does after the unanimous report of the senate committee on privileges and elections against Clark of Montana, and the great possibility that Clark will be unseated be- cause of the violation of election laws in Montana and the use of great sums of money, will have a tendency to purify na- tional politics a little and to warn politi- clans that higher morality now rules the senate? The defeat of Quay, following as 1t does the defeat of Corbett of Oregon a year ago would seem, too, to be a warning to state legislatures that combinations can not. be made to prevent elections by one faction or another in order that the gov ernor may fill the vacancy. Aside then, from Quays personality, which is admit ted on all hands to be very agreeable will not the senate's action have a decidedly good effect throughout the country? It would seem so.
