E ONLY nallY HEwspApER IN ALABAMA
Mir. McKinIey's Prototype.

Charles l. had even less use for legisla- tive advice and assistance than Mark Han- na has, but the two careers are not dis similar Ha believed in the royal prerog- ative very much as William Mckinley and Mark Hanna believe in the Preslden- tial prerogatve MT. Mckinley and MT. Hanna lack the power of dissolving ob- noxous legislative bodies, but they have an elastic Secretary of the Treasury and this is some compensation. The latter ad- vantage enables our Charles I. and his great kitchen adviser to expend money in a war with China that was voted by Con gress for the suppression of the rebellion in the Philippines. Such transfer of money may be covered by the letter of the appropriation bill, but not by intent of Congress or the spirit of the bill! The money thus used is money spent without authority of Congress and the Constitu- ton. Charles I. did acts of similar na ture He had to have money. and he gov erned eleven years without Parliament. MT. Mckinley and MT. Hanna are indeav- bring to govern about as many months on a like plan.
 Nor does the parallel end here. Charles I. endeavored to shoot liturgy into the Puritans, very much Mir. Mckinley and MT. Hanna are endeavoring to shoot our system and civilization into the Filipinos and Chinese The chief difference consists In the arms employed. Charles I. had no Gatling guns pompons, and in the long run the Roundheads, led by Cromwell, drove him into a corner, and cut his head off. The people are prepared to serve in November William Mckinley and Mark Hanna very much as Cromwell served Charles l. The dead sovereign was re- garded as martyr by many of his for mer subjects, and the trusts will be sadly ungratful if they do not regard William Mckinley and Mark Hanna in that light after the day of political decaptation in November.

No Quarter in China.

Count Waldersee, the new commander of the Americans and other allies in China, is American by inclination at any rate, for he married an American woman, and she is still living and is still his wife This much is at least to his credit. She was Mary Esther Lee of New York.
 He is considered a capable soldier. but he has had no experience in a wide, inde- pendent command. He was born in Pots- dam in 1S32, and is therefore & years old, which is Lord Roberts age. He entered the army in 1850, and served in the war with Austria in 1S66 and in the Franco-Germ9n war of 1s70-Z. In 1881 he was appointed ouartermaster general, and became deputy of Count Won Moltke, whom he succeeded as chief of the general staff of the German army, in 1888. He has been made a field marshal, with a view no doubt of giving him rank in China where he has been sent for duty. In Berlin it Is believed the other powers wifi sesaiesce in his appointment to the chief command of the allied forces.

Enlisted as a Private

But as many stories as have been told about General Chaffee's valor it is some what strange that, so far as he or his intimate friends have ever heard, no plain, ordinary biography of him has ever been written or printed. So little is known, even in the service, about his private life that one of his most intimate friends was unable to tell the other day whether he had any children. To sketch General Chaf- fees life, minus it's incidents, is not a dif- ficult task, or is it long story. He was born in ZanesviIle, Ohio, in 1S43 His father was a farmer and the son had the ordinary advantages of farmers sons of the time. He went to the district school, then he went to an academy and then he went to war He was 19 years old when the report of the firing on Fort Sumter reached Zanes- vflle, and without consolidating anybody he just determined that the country needed his services and he started off for the nearest recruiting station and enlisted, not in a volunteer regiment, but in the Sixth United States Cavalry, with which most of his services in the army has been connect ed and which sailed on the same transport with him for China. He joined the regiment as private; he will lead it in China as a major general of volunteers.

tant from China, the appointment must be made in anticipation of a war that will outlast the winter. The Japanese troops go years. and Germany expects perhaps a campaign of that length. As a commander of American troops Field Marshal Count Alfred Von Waldersee Is to say the lea st novelty, and the administration would perhaps do well to inquire before it puts him in charge of American soldiers whether or no he expects to carry out the no quar- ter" policy of his lord and master the Elm peIor of Germany.

THE WOMEN WHO BOARD
q the New York World.

W
 The Lenox Debating Club has propounded a new question for discussion It is stated in a letter in the Worlds Peoples Forum today, and may be expected to divide public attention with the Chinese war, the Presi- dential campaign, the "shirt-waist man" and whom did MT. Godkin mean?"
 The question is this: How does the married woman who boards pass ,her time?" Or. put in another way, If it takes half dozen children, servants, cooking, mending and fixing, cleaning, etc., to keep one little housewife busy, how, then, do ladies who board with their husbands manage to keep their minds and hands oc- cupied?'
 Experience Is the best answer to this question. Perhaps some of the wives who board will answer. From observation 1t may be said that very often the little housewife is much too busy. Her cares and her work sometimes take so much of her time and strength that sne has no chance to rest, to recreato or to do the many things that tend to conserve women S health and temper.
 Some women who board devote a portion of their time to works of charity and benevolenee. The great increase of wo- mems clubs for various purposes ss per- home cares gives them more leisure. But these are not complete answers. What do they all do?

Democratic Clubs in Alabama.

The address signed by Messrs. Bryan, Stevenson. Jones and Hearst, urging the formation of Democratic Clubs in every city town. village and precinct in the United States, should not go unheeded in Alabama. No one has any doubt as to how Alabama will vote in November, but there are many ways in which clubs in every county of the State can promote the cause of constitutional liberty. We add here the closing paragraph of the address;
 'The friends of government, according to the hitherto unchallenged American the ory of political equality everywhere under our flag, cannot afford to be less jealous or less active than the advocates of an American colonial empire supported by rifles No patriotic citizen can ignore the attacks which are being made upon the very foundation of our present irreproach- able form of government. This year every citizen should be politician. Clubs and societies should at once communicate with the secretary of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, 1870 Broadway, New York City, so that the united membership may work systematically in defense of the republic as the fathers made it. All Dem- ocratic committees, State and local, are requested to aid the National Association of Democratic Clubs in this work
 The Age-Herald expresses the hope that every county executive committee in the State will heed this address, and proceed to organize enough clubs at any rate to cover the sphere of its operations As the address puts it, the friends of law and lib- erty should be united into one great sys- tematized civic army, and the work of organization should be begun at once, and carried on with vigor until the friends of the republic are solidly lined up against the forces that depend upon trusts for campaign funds, and upon big army and a colonial system for patronage, and upon the Dingley tariff and the ship subsidy scheme for various other forms of plum der.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Does Not Claim to be a Hero

For some reason, which nobody has been able to explain satisfactorily, a halo of romance has been thrown around General Chaffee, almost from the time he wore shoulder straps. It is said that he has been the hero of more romantic tales than any other officer in the regular service since the civil war. The general, perhaps, knows better than anybody else whether the ma jority of these stories are true, and in speaking of two or three of them one day not long ago he said:
 '"rhose yarns, like a lot of others have heard told about me, are just plain, every day lies. They sound pretty enough, but they're all rot. I'm no hero and, if the plain, hard truth were always told, there would be mighty few halos stuck around the heads of us army officers. We just go ahead and attend to our business like any other business men. We're put in certain places to succeed. If we do succeed, there is no particular sense in telling a lot of heroic lies about us, and if we faii-well, God help us."

wALLAUE DESERVED SUCCESS
From the Huntsville Mercury.

From the Huntsville Mercury
 The various tips from mysterious polit- ical sources to the effect that the Repub. lican opposition would be directed at Hon, John H. Wallace, and that his defeat would be encompassed, proved unfounded. The returns in dicate that MT. Wallace boiled the full party yote-just what he deserved at the hands of the party from which his commission cape.
 The campaign which closed Monday really begun with the snap primaries last December when an effort was made to de- feat Senator Morgan. In that preliminary skrmish MT. Wallace rendered a good ac- count of himself. In Clarke and Jackson Counties he threw himself into the thick est of the fight and made an excellent re- cord. Later he made a vigorous campaign for Senator Morgan in Madison and Lau- derdale Counties and received from Sen ator Morgan letters of thanks and encour- agement most complimentary to one so young.
 After being nominated for a second term in the Legislature MT. Wallace made a thorough canvass of the county, urging the white men to lend their aid and in fiuence to the Democracy for the purpose of disfranchising the negro voters. His speeches attracted the attention of the Democratic workers in other counties and he went to Colbert and Jackson in response to calls from the Democratic campaign committees of those counties. For such earnest and enthusiastic support of his party interests and decrees, MT. Wallace truly deserved the election given him.

Ills Selection Was a Surprise

Just why he was selected to command our forces in China General Chaffee never knew. He had prepared, after having been ordered from Cuba to Washington, to spend the most of his summer in Maine. He came on to New York with Mrs. Chaffee to visit his brother-in-law, Dr. Thomas H. Rock well, one of medical staff of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, at Dr. Rockwells s home at Bay Ridge. They were at dinner one evening in the latter part of June when a telegram was brought in to the General. There was some curiosity on the part of those at the table to know what 1t was all about. It conveyed no other informa- tion than that he was to report at once in person to the Secretary of War at Clinton, N. Y., where MT. Root was attending the commencement exercises of Hamilton Col lege, of which he Is a trustee and from where he was graduated. General Chaffee surmised that the telegram meant that he was to return to Cuba When he got to Clinton he found out that he was going on a much longer journey.
