Senator Scott's Bad Break.

Al the Roosevelt dinner in New York, given alike to Governor Roosevelt and Can didate Odell, only politicians were present. and among the number was Senator Scott of West Virginia, who Is both Senator and a millionaire, although the terms are rapidly becoming synonymous. Senator Scott is in charge of the eastern headquar- ters of the g. O. D., and he is a member of it's national committee He made a speech at the banquet, in the course of which he said:
 Right here I want to say that believe in trusts. They are a good thing. The Stan dard Oil Company put in pipe lines to all the small towns where oil is produced, and if it was not for the Standard Oil Company this property that we have would not be here today
 This remark created consternation, not that every one present did not endorse it, but every one was afraid a report of the trust declaration would get out. And it did. It was a political slip. and Senator Scott has been kept busy ever since in explaining it away. But it cannot be ex- plained away.
 There is nothing remarkable in MT Scott's declarations. All Republican politi- cians hold such views, because they seek and get the money of the trusts. The taking of their money is as much a declaration in their favor as Senator Scotts remarks. All 4t l,,,.a mot been SO frank as Senator Scott was. That is all the difference. Senator Scotts frankness should not be severely blamed. He but expressed the belief of every one present

 The truth is. the issue is double-headed- stitutional, then 1t is proposed to demand a reduction in Southern representation. on the ground that the negroes have been dis clause fits them-that they are virtually disfranchised. The case in the Supreme Court is but a step-a possible step--in a, campaign against the South.

MCKINLEY GOING AGAINST PRECEDENT

From the Richmond. Va, Dispatch
 Twenty-four years ago the American peo- pie firmly resolved to permit no president to succeed himself. They had seen from experience that a man in his second term will lay the wires for a third just as in his first he laid them for a second. In that twenty-four years they have been strictly impartial and have applied the rule to Republican and Democrat alike. They defeated Cleveland when he tried and they defeated Harrison whn he tried it, though he had been one of the most representative Republicans during his first term that his party had ever put there. Is there any thing in Mr Mckinley or in those who steer him or in the acts of his administra- tion to create belief that the people will change their mind?

SUPREME COURT
Will Hear Porto Rican Tariff Case Jan.
 uary7

Washington, October 29.-The Supreme Court today, on motion of Hon. John G. Carlisle, advanced and assigned for ar gument on January next the case of Elias S. A. Delma, ct al, plaintiffs In er- TOT, vs. George Bidwell, collector of cus- toms at the port of New York The ques- ton involved is that of the right of the United States government to collect duties on imports from Porto Rico under regula- tions prepared by the Treasury Depart ment before the act of Congress prescribing the rates to be imposed was passed.
 There are several cases now pending be- fore the courts at New York, in which the legality of the act of Congress is brought up, and if these are decided against the compliments the intention of the attor- neys is to appeal them to the Supreme Court, in which event they probably will be set for hearing on January '.

ST. LOUIS FLOODED uaus
The Western Metropolis Experiences
 Veritable Waterspout

St. Louis, October 29.-sixty- eight hun dreths of an inch of water fell in fifty five minutes today and flooded the low places in the city, the waters filling the cellars and in some instances rising into the first floors of the residences, churches and stores. Street railway travel was inn peded for a time.
 At Sarah and Easton avenues the flood covered an area of five blocks, and when a suburban street car was run through it, the water made short circuit between the motors and the tracks. The car ignted and was partly destroyed.
 At Twenty third and Mullanphy streets the water rose until 1t stood twelve inches deep inside St. Luke's church.

Grandfather in the Supreme Court.

Tie esteemed Boston Transcript prints and comments circular issued by Richard T. Hallowen. who seems to have charge Of the financial end of the scheme for test ing in the Supreme Court of the United States 'the grandfather clause of Louis- Jana and North Carolina In his circular MT. Halloweli says:
 A company of Southern coiored men in Washington have retained lawyers, who are now engaged in preparing a case to be brought before the United States Supreme Court The total expense in connection With the case will be about $5000 The col ored people themselves have raised about $l5O0. l have been asked and shall be pleased to receive, receipt ard account for any amounts that anyone may be willing to contribute to this cause.
 The Transcript comes to Mir Hallowelrs support in these words:
 The issue has been allowed to drift hith- erto. although it is one of the most i'm poriant of domestic questions. It must be settled, for, like all unsettled questions it will give the nation no peace until il is set tied, and settled right. In the Supreme Court it will be pasesd upon in such way as to fix for generations the status of the - descendants of the slaves freed January 1, IHo'' t'iiu 'hSH ohSpiiiiS dflu descendants, whom It was certainly at the time intended 10 make citizens of the United States, and equal to white citizens in political rights through the constitutional amendment adopted as the result of the civil war of 1e6l-65. The main end of the great war is at stake, nothing less.
 The Transcript seems to think a court, largely Republican and ant-Southern, can be depended upon to knock "the grand father clause out. It may be correct. There are Southern Democrats who think the clause is unconstitutional Altogether the Transcript is on solid ground when it

yer of Atlanta. concerning the Realty Com panys business.
 At the Country Club tomorrow night Halloween will be observed according to l ancient custom, and there will be great joy for society. The tubs of water with apples afoat the nuts upon the hearth, and the vsions of lovers in the kailyard will all be had there, and there will be joy Hal loween Is the oldest festival but ob- served in Christendom, and about it there Is more of romance than about Christmas even. President Milner and the house committee of the Country Club are mal6- ing the arrangements.
 
 MT. Alfred l. Hart, who is in Birmng- ham representing The American Exporter, is one of the best-informed men in the country respecting American trade rela- tions with foreign countries, he having travelled for three years and closely stud jed trade relations abroad. The American Exporter is one of the best of all trade journals published in the United States, and is accepted abroad as standard author ity. In all American consulates. reading rooms and exchanges abroad this journal is kept on file and is constantly consulted by men interested in trade with this coun- try. MT. Hart will remain in Birmingham for day or two in the interest of his pub lication.
 One of the most important meetings ever held in Birmingham will be that of the committee on Birmingham's worlds expo sition, which meeting is called for o'clock this afternoon at the Commercial Club.
 In the name of the plain old-fashioned tongue of our fathers, the committee is humbly besought to make it great Amer ican Exhibition, and not that frlghtful French folly, an "exposition.' What Birmingham and America desire is an in ternational exhibition. Leave the "expo- sition universelle'' to "gay Farce" This is Birmingham, with the good old Jones valley accent on the ham, in total dis regard of it's venerable village namesake in England. Call opr show a show, a fair, an exhibition anything but "expo- zishiong!"

ROSES
By Jnlia C. R. Dorr.

Red as the wine of forgotten ages,
 Yellow as gold of the sunbeams spun: Pink as the gowns of Aurora's pages
 White as the robe of d snless one Sweeter than Araby's winds that blow, Roses, roses, l love you so. Browning the altar where VOWS are spoken
 Cradling the form that is still and cold, Symbol of ioy-of loves last token,
 Telling the story that never grows old. Clusters of beauty whom none can debar, Know ye, I wonder, how fair ye are? Blooming for monarch in palaces royal,
 Queenliest charmers in all the place, Blooming for yeoman, tender ard loyal
 Stopping to kiss his toil-stained face. Roses, roses, born but to bless. Yield me your secret of loveliness!

New Cup Defender.

The Herreschoffs are to build the new cup defender, for no dependence is to be placed upon the old Columbia. The new Shamrock will doubtless be better boat than the old Shamrock and it is felt that the new Co., lumbia should be better than the old Co., lumbia. The margin between the two last year was not great and it would be very risky to put the old Columbia against d new Shamrock So the Herreschoffs, who built the old Columbia, will build new one.
 The cost of a race is borne from year to year by syndicate formed for that par ticular purpose. As the cost reaches into hundreds of thousands of dollars, the sym dicate is necessarily made up of million aires. The bills are heavier each year. but the purses of the millionaire members of a cup syndicate are presumably growing heavier also. New York wins the honor, and it has the millionaires who can pay the freight. Great secrecy is observed, it be- ing much more genteel to do the work in- cog No one will object to this feature of the event, if a boat be built that will keen the cup on this side of the sea.

He would throw flowers on the stage and appeared as If he was very much taken with the actress. One night she received note from him stating that he was a mill ionare who was desperately in love with her, an,. begging her toselope with him. Visions of diamonds, champagne, Carriages, etc, filled her mind, and collecting her wealth and jewels she prepared to elope A carriage was obtained and they got in and were driven to dark street, where the alleged lover promptly knocked down the soubrette and robbed her The mora of this story Is, that soubrette. unlike shoemaker. should not stick to her last.
