graphed out of Columbus that it had
already been decided that Gen. Dick
would be the next State chairman and
would manage next falls campaign,
are regarded here by friends of Sena-
tor Foraker, as amusingly premature
History may repeat itself when it
comes to selecting a State chairman
and Senator Foraker as the endorsed
candidate for the Senate may insist
on selecting one of his friends to man
age the campaign just as Senator
Hanna did in 1897, when Gov Bush.
nell insisted that he must have the
naming Of the campaign manager and
announced that he would choose
Charles L. Kurtz. Senator Hanna did
not pay any attention to Gov. Bushnell,
but went ahead and selected Judge
George X. Nash, now Governor, as the
campaign manager. Senator Foraker
may follow Hanna's example.
That there will be fight in the
party against Senator Foraker is a GER
tainty unless the Anti-Saloon League
is induced to abate its opposition.
The League has proved that in several
Republican counties it can elect the
Legislators and if it could elect Re-
publicans pledged against Foraker, it
might have enough votes to deadlock
the Legislature unless there was an
overwhelming Republican majority.
Friends of Senator Foraker are fully
alive to this fact and already they are
hard at work recognizing the old
time organization that of late years
has not been kept active.
These are facts.

God takes us back over long sweep
of years to show us an example of
principle. In the first place, the fam,
tribe. BY natural process came the
nation and later the empire of the mid
die ages appeared The foundation of
few small republics was disastrous
because the people lacked a sufficient
degree of morality. At last a Repub-.
lie was established on these shores and
the birth of freedom rang out over the
world. But it was freedom in theory
only. Slavery continued and not until
the close of the civil war did America
enjoy practical freedom.
'The whole world is turning as fast
as it can safely turn toward the star Of
Empire in the western sky. Japan Is
a little America, and China will come
forth a new country. By and by, AT
RIGA will be civilized and occupy the
central place on the civilized stage.
BY and by, when the Angel unrolls
the scroll and reads off the influence
possessed by each nation, all Of the
principal and patriotism will be traced
back to Washington; back to America;
back to the patriotic soldiers Of '61."

The Gubernatoral Prouress.

John W. Tomlinson in appearing before the voters of Jefferson county and the state of Alabama at large and asking their sup port in his candidacy for governor, is preaching much sound democracy. His ex- position of the impositions of the school book trust upon the people of this state should and probably will bear fruit when the legislature meets It is in direct line with the teachings of the national demo- cratic platform. Upon every plank of this platform Mir. Tomlinson has consistently stood. and for it's every principle he has gallantly fought in Alabama for four years
 Yet young man, MT. Tomlinson is one of the strongest lawyers and ablest democrats in Alabama. In every contest for many years where the principles of democracy front ranks of the defense. No man has ever assailed his loyalty to the principles ol HIS pdTly Or HIS edrHeSIHeSS III DattHHS for them. A man of clear Judgment, great executive ability young, vigorous, earnest and just in all things, he will make gov ernor who will do credit to his state. Wherever he has spoken to the people and where they know him they are for him.. Whether he shall go into the state conven- ton with majority perhaps depends upon whether he will be able ito appear before the people of all the counties and set forth his principles and views before the day set for the primary election. Certain it is he will go into the convention with a strong, earnest and loyal following.

proprlates $2,Oa5, ,I55 IT the odd cents were included the Associated Press does not furnish them Tais precise and irregular amout was appropriated because it covers the money unlawfnlly and unconshtution- ally exacted from the people of Porto Rico in the custom houses of the mainland from the Spanish evacuation down to January L 1900. It is so nominated in tine bal. The bill is in itself a confession of wrong and of robbery. although the rob- 6ery is stin maintained.
 This plan of legislation is simply a sneak before November from "the prin- ciple of protection" 1t is wholly safe to assume that this bill wrm sum up republi- can legislation as to Porto Rico before November. The republican leaders dare not offend The trusts and monopolies based on the Dingley- Mckinley tariff and they dare not offend the people by declaring in a new and express statute that the con stitution does not follow the flag, and yet when they voted down the Allen resolu- tfon, and particularly the Jones proposi- ton, they said in so many words, "the constitution does not follow the flag" The proposition offered by Senator Jones of Arkansas is particularly pertinent, for it declares that 'tfrom and after the passage of this act no duty shah be collected on articles coming into Porto Rico from other parts of the United States" The repub- Means propose to tax the Porto Ricans a-comin and a-gwine. What they really propose to do is to tide the matter over until November, and then they will pro- ceed to establish a colonial system in or- der that no breach sg1all be made in their Chinese wall scheme of robbery of the many for the benefit of the flew.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Threat Aaainst the Mines.

As the last stage of the South African war approaches threats are circulated that the deep mines of the witwatersrand dis frct are to be wrecked by dynamite, of which the Boers possess an abundance. When bigotry and stiffneckedness are eon- bined in dangerous proportions, mingled with a good deal of ignorance 1t is difficult to name limit to possible wickedness. But if the Boers attempt to blow up the mines, they will strike at investors in all countries. They will injure the holders of millions of securities. especially in Germany and France. The blow would fall on all civil- ized countries, including America. Presi- dent Kruger would at once create an in- fluential opposition in every financial een- ter, and in every capital.
 to thus strike at the ownership of property. If the mines belonged to the British gov- ernmenC ne could WTeCk them at n1S pleaS- ure; but not one of them belongs to Great Britain, and perhaps not one of them be- longs wholly to Britons. Under the cbrpor- ation plan ownership is widely scattered. The civilized world owns the Johannes berg mines that annually are capable of producing well night one hundred millions of gold, and President Kruger will forfeit international opinion if he harms the mines
 Unless he is madman in power, the per- sonfcation of desperation, he will let the mines alone. He cannot harm Cecil Rhodes or his most active enemies by wrecking the mines He only display his own malice. Great Britain will assuredly hold him per- sonally responsible if he violates the law of nations in this respect, and this will prob- ably restrain him. But it is a question whether he will as the end draws near be able to restrain his own followers. Therein lies the real danger to the rich gold mines of the Rand.

ruNoHEoN aNNouNcEp nY A CAT

From the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune.
 The noontlme whistle is never sounded at the Buckeye foundry in Cumminsyille. It has been discontinued since a wiseacre of cat has become the announcer to the men of the arrival of the dinner hour. Thomas has been habitue of the engine room for a number of years. and takes great interest in the working of the plant. After a short residence he discovered that a cat could find scraps to eat if he was on hand when also that the best time to visit them was when the whistle blew. Thomas conse- quently became so regular fin his trips that the engineer began to rely on him to no- tify the men, and discontinued the signal for quitting work About 11:45 every day Tom arouses himself, looks wise at the engineer, and then marches into the foun- dry. The men immediately quit work on seeing him, and Tom proceeds to look about for tid-bits from their lunches.

Failure of the Peace Plan.

Nearly two years have elapsed since the Peace conference met at The Hague in the peaceful House of the Woods and yet 1t Is said that not one of the nations represent ed in the conference has taken a single tive. Wars have not ceased. Blood has been shed in national contests in every month that has elapsed. and even now a branch of Holland itself is engaged in sanguinary stuggfe.
 The United States has fought out one war since the conference was held, and 1t is stated that the senate has ratified only one of the three treaties that came from the conference, and that no one is urging the ratification of the other two. It is not known that any other nation has done more Or even so much. The peace tribunal that the conference called for has not been organized, and the entire movement once so promising, is tied up, if not abandoned The military power, Russia, seems to have lost all interest. in the subject, exposing her to the suspicion that she was "playing poli- tics" at the time.
 The world, perhaps, sees in the Spanish American war and in the South African war that wars must come-that the world Is not far enough advanced to render set dement's of all questions by peace methods possible. It further sees that even friendly intervention after a war is we'll progressed is not always feasible. In point of fact, ex- perlence following the conference goes to show that it was premature. The world must grow up to it. It's theories were who'll ly correct, but this old world is yet too wicked, too headstrong. The conference, alas, was held a century too soon. It should be reassembled after the blessed twentieth century has reformed and recti- fled a wayward world.

A CAUTION
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 If you are going to Paris get vaccinated before you start. According to the New York Tribune, private letters from that city say that smallpox prevails in an epidemic degree. There has been no statement of this fact through the foreign newspapers, or by the news agencies. Even if 1t be true, there would be disposition to keep quiet about it. The story is not helpful advertisement to get abroad just before the opening of the great fair Nevertheless 1t will be prudent to take precautions against this and, as far as possible, against other infections and contagious which great mis- cellaneous gatherings of all classes of peo- pie from every quarter of the world are apt to contain and to propagate. Paris is pleasant city for enjoyment. if one has money enough, but one can be sick or die more comfortably at nome. Living will be dear enough there this year, but sickness will be even more costly.

Accounted for Ills Absence

Lieutenant Colonel H. H. Sergeant, U. S. A.. before the late conflict with Spain, won literary laurels by two scholarly vol umes on the campaigns of Napoleon Bona parte relates the Saturday Evening Post. During that war he had but little oppor- tunity to take part in battle, his duties be- ing to organize and drill the volunteers at the mobilization camps and, after Au- gust, to look after engineering and sani- tary matters at Santiago de Cuba. Early last year he was sent to the Philippines, where he has had his full share of the hardest campaigning. He was under the immediate command of Lawton al the bat tie of San Mateo, and was being praised by General Iawton for his gallantry when that officer fell, pierced by a hostile bull let.
 Colonel Sergeant tells many enjoyable war stories. Once when instructing some men, he asked: "When you are on the sklr- mish line, and suddenly encounter the ene- my, what would you do?'
 'iFal flat" And what next?" Stay there.'
 On another occasion he was questioning a man respecting his absence for six hours.
