 Under the benign and beautiful rule of the high tariff and ship subsidy party the millionaire club will doubtless be steadily increased, and when they constitute ma

A GOOD SAMARITAN

From the New York Journal.
 An old man whose identity we are not at liberty to disclose, a man worth many mil lions of dollars, upon retiring to private life looked about him for practical meth cd ne distributing charity among his fel- low men.
 He knew that Andrew Carnegie's weak ness was free libraries. He knew that John D. Rockefeller made speciality of colleges. Both of these are worthy charities. He un- uerstood that MT. Carnegie was a believer in poverty and reading, and that MT. Rock efelor believed in uplifting those who we're already uphfted-sufficentfy to want to learn about the benefits of trusts from hls professors
 Mother of these charities touched the munger of the gaunt man in rags. the sta ,v- Ing ether, the sick babies, or the honest man tempted by adversity to steal, and these were the things that appealed most to him.
 Neither Carnegie nor Rockefeller care for these. Theirs is not the charity of Baron de Hirsch, who established schools for the very poor and numberless charities for the destitute.
 The old unknown millionaire, who is known to the poor by his initials, L. &, be- Iieved truly that it was better to give food to the hungry and coal to the shivering, and medicine to the sick than to leave them to suffer and die after the fashion of old and crippled savages deserted by their tribe. A
 His motto was to help those who; were helpless. To this end he is passing four or five hours daily in the squms, visiting and at,ae xxh laSS ott taItlishing small credits with butcher, and baker, and grocer. In his work he is fol- lowed by the blessings and the prayers' of the very poor.
 This is true charity-the charity of the good Samaritan.

sOUrHEKN PRODUCTS

From the Dothan Sntings.
 Just at this time the southern farmer is greatly encouraged. Cotton is worth Shs cents, cotton seed 23 cents and turpentdne 5l cents. with a good demand for every uroduct But is there not danger of be- coming intoxicated with this over-encour- agemept? As for turpentine, it may remain high. as there is no apparent cause for 1t to decline. Pine timber becomes scarcer every year, and an over-production ds hardly possible of that product. But 1t is quite different with cotton. Ut takes but A year to produce cotton enough to shake prices to the bottom. Six weeks from now the farmers will be planting cotton, and in six months, if a twelve-million-bale crop is in sight, the price is more likely to De cents than cents It may not be that way next fall, and the Siftings hopes that it will not; but one thing we all know is, that cotton is treacherous! It will not do to trust. The cotton states can too easily produce more than the world needs to consume to make dt a safe staple to depend upon.

Kansas City the Convention City.

The Gate City of the west, located in a steadfast democratic state, Is to be the scene of the next national convention of the party that was founded by Jefferson. and that has ever since stood by popular righta and by the constitution, as it was made, and as it was interpreted at the outset. The modern method Of changing the fundamental law by any interpretation that suits the issue of the hour, has always been discarded by the democratic party.
 Not only is tie place of meeting appro- priate, but the day of meeting is oppor- tunc On the national holiday the conven- ton will meet and it will declare that colonies are wholly outside tine American system and that net line can be found in the constitution to justify their estab- ishment Not word can be found which authorizes any sane and honest man to declare that Alaska, Arizona, and Porto Ric, Ire not parts of the United States. On the Fourth of July the convention Will meet, and very soon afterwards 1t will de- clare the coctrine of the constitution as to territory ol tside the states.
 It Is fortunate, too, that the convention will follow, instead of proceeding, the re- publican convention because it is needful at this time to meet with precision its po- sitiors upon trusts and the new posses sions both of which positions will be taken at the d'ciation of the capitalists. who are now in full. control of that party. This can best be done by holding the convention at the time agreed upon.
 Altogether the party is in admirable shape we'll organized, and enthusiastic, and tie republican majority in congress are making issues that should bury their ticket of 1900 very deep. The refusal to pass an efficient antitrust law, and the passage of bills that go to establish "a colonial sys tenn and also of a bill in the interest of national banks and single standard should suffice to show whom that party Is serving, and especially to show whom they are not serving

What They First Learned

The latest school story comes from Pais- ley, says the Scottish American. A teacher in one of the local schools was examining a chibd on general knowledge and talking of languages, he asked a small boy what was the most useful of modern tongues. The child looked bewildered. To suggest the answer the teacher put it in another way.
 What is it," he asked, ''that your elder brothers learn?'
 A light dawned on the httle chap, and he answered. with great alacrtty:
 "Swearin, sir!''

The German emperor likes nothing better than to occasionally fraternze with his sol- diers, says the Newcastle (Eng) Chronicle. His experiences are sometimes rather amus- ing. At recent inspection of recruits his majesty asked one of them his name, and was told "Andree." On his majesty asking him if he was aware that he had famous namesake, the soldier answered in the af- firmative.
 'Who told you that?' asked the emperor.

 And what did your captain tell you about Andree?"

The news comes from Birmingham that Governor Johnston and his friends are afraid to let the people of his home county, Jefferson, vote in a primary direct for caa1- didtes for the legislature. The governor wants a convention to nominate the six representatives and one senator from Jeff ferson, from which it would seem that he is becoming a bit distrustful of "the plain people," This is the same Johnston who was but four years ago clamoring for a vote by primary plan and we wonder what has caused such a great change of heart to come over him?

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
An Example of Ready Tset


 Aprepos of MT. Henderson's war -experi- ence, the following story was told by one of his colleagues at dinner the other night, which illustrates well as any of the stories concerning him, his ready sym pathy and tact, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly: In the days when Dave Henderson was a raw young lieutenant and before he had lost a leg in the service of his coun- try. he was called to a man who had been mortally wounded by the explosion of a gun. He found the poor fellow lying on the grass, swearing a blue streak at the unfortunate accident that would cost him his life, while a callow young chaplain, kneeling beside the wounded soldier, vain ly expostulated with him to pray, since he was about to be called into the pres ence of his maker The chaplain's exhor- tations had no effect upon the suffering soldier. however. who continued ito swear more loudly than ever.
 Make way" ordered Henderson, and kneeling by the side of the soldier, he said in voice as tender as woman's: Can we do nothing for you, my brave fellow?"
 The soldier looked up wfstfully at the sound of the sympathetic words. I'm afraid it's all up,' he said, fafntly
 Well If 1t Is, my man, it must be happiness and satisfaction to you to know that you died for your country. You are just as much a hero as though you had been killed on the field of battle and your name will always be revered. God help you, my brave boy!?
 'Ts that so? Is that sop murmured the dying soldier. 'It's comfort, sir; its a great comfort" and holding the hand of his young officer, the poor lad died.
 ~- Advice That Would Carry Weight
 The young king of Spain is no longer child being tall for his age, we'll devel- oped, and with a good. healthy color in his face, relates the Philadelphia Bulletin. He usually wears the uniform of an infantry cadet. rides horseback every day, practices in tne gymnasium, and Is determined to master the bicycle, in spite of the re- peated tumbles which have attended his nasty efforts An anecdote of bis early childhood is recalled which shows him to have been a sharp intelligent boy, even be- fore he had fully recovered from the phy- sical frailties of his infancy.
 One day, it is said, he asked the pro- lessor who was experimenting his lesson in history, how it came about that Spain lost Mexico, Chile, and her other American colonies. The young king listened, spell bound, to the thrilling story and sat ab- sorbed In meditation for some time after its conclusion Then a thought struck him; he looked up at his instructor, and eagerly inquired:
 What must I do in order to get back those countries for Spain?"
 "The first and most important thing of all,' replied the diplomatic professor, ''is that your majesty should-should-grow up to be a man. When you are man" The entertainment was gone, and the royal lad muttered:
 ''Hm! When I am a man it is not a his tory professors advice that I shall ask. shall have a prime minister to tell me then"
