nv opinion much to do with the
failure to reach an amicable set.
tlement of all differences in the
convention. A purpose early
| manifested itself, to force the re
tirement of both Of us, that others
| who had made no campaign might
reap the reward of our labors.
Colonel Wilson had manfully,
after the action of the Maricopa
county convention, accept the re
suits and expressed his desire to
announce it before the convention
and heal all wounds he could, and
withdraw from further contest for
the nomination. / believe that
Col. Wilson's heart has never been
in sympathy with these highland
ed proceedings, for later on, when
the Joint committee was in confer
ence at the Territorial conven-
ton, he formally sent word to it,
notice of his purpose and inten-
ton to withdraw from the race;
and this announcement by him
was accepted by all parties, and
the delegates assembled at the hall
satisfied that the struggle was
over. In good faith, Col. Wilson
attempted to carry out this decla-
ration but was stopped on the way
to the platform by some parties to
whom | have alluded, and was pr :
vailed upon to leave the hall and
abandon his purpose.
| was then duly nominated by
the convention, received 92 votes
out of 164 delegates elected to it..
On what claim the nomination of
Col. Wilson is based, | do not
know. From the regular delegates
he could only receive 70 votes. If
70 delegates, which is less than II
quorum, turned out the regular
Maricopa delegates and seated the
unknown men, the act was void
and was done without hearing,
and in violation of every sense of
right and justice, and wholly des-
tructive of party discipline.
The propriety of my entering
the race is no longer question
for discussion. The democratic
party has acted. No equ ties can
be plead against its edict 1t pre-.
sents to the public its own candid,
ates, and recognizes no rights other
than its own choice. From his
party's decision no Democrat can
appeal.
If there had been nothing more
than my personal ambution in
volved / would long since have
done what what Col. Wilson at
tempted to do. Ny Withdrawal
under the circumstance was not
possible. A sense Of personal
honor, as well as a just regard fol
| party discipline and success, for
bids me to pursue any other thar
the plain course which its judg
ment and mine has so clearly
/ marked out for me. To do other
wise would permit any disgruntled
faction to compass the defeat OF
the popular will and lead inevitab
| ly to future disorganization and
disruption. The reasons which
impelled me then are equally
cogent now, and while appreciate
the difficulties of the coming cam
paign and deplore the strife SC
needlessly thrust into our ranks
] still adhere to the firm belief
that the good Of the democratic
party demands that my candidacy
continue to the end.
Very respectfully,
MARCUS A. SMITH.

to carry out their desires and
plans of plundering the nations of
the Orient. We had better hang
to our ancient moorings and the
old landmarks which were placed
by the fathers to guide us in pre-
serving and perpetuating republi-
can Institutions.
Washington in his farewell adj
dress, said:
"Why forego the advantages of
so peculier situation? Why quit
our own to stand on foreign
ground? Why by Interviewing
our destiny with that Of any part
of Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls of European
ambition, rivalship, interest, humor
or capricc?"
Much is contained here in few
words and its teachings should be
observed unless perchaoce General
Merritt, Otis, or some other pom
pous commander has declared that
we have outgrown it. The placing
of our flag in unnatural and I'M
desirable places is no reason that
it should not be removed. The
honor and patriotism of the nation
is often better conserved by the
hauling down of our flag. Our flag
should not be permitted to remain
in climes tn 4 are not suited to be-
come part of our union, nor
where it is to serve the purpose of
injustice and and oppression. Old
glory has been many times rails
ed in vindication of human rights,
but has often been lowered in
honor of such vindication 1t was
raised in Canada during the revo-
lutionary war and again on the
flights of Lundy's Lane in the
war of 1912. 1t was raised in the
town of Der in Tripoli. In 1905
and 1915, Decatur
HoIsTED THE FLAG
over he Dey of Algiers. In the
war with Mexico the flag waved
over the halls of the Montczumas.
The flag has been raised in some
other localities and again lowered
and still no American officer or
citizen was dishonored thereby;
and had we granted to the Fill
pinos their independence, it would
have been no reflection upon the
beroism of Dewey and his gallant
soldiers, to have taken down our
flag and brought it home; but on
the contrary it would have been
an honor to the nation and its peo-
pie. Had we done that, unstinted
praises of our philanthropy would
have been sung round the world.
Wherever old glory floated it
would have been hailed by the
millions in every part of the globe
as an emblem of people who,
while free themselves, were
willing and anxious that all men,
everywhere, should be free.
But as it is now, we seem to be
in high good humer with the
crowned and sceptered despots of
Europe for the reason that we APP
pear to have joined the ancient
and sardid society of land grab
bers. That which most pleases
the crowned heads of Europe is the
hope that we have eschewed the
pestiferous doctrine embodied in
the Declaration of Independence,
the restrictions of the constitution,
the preposterous sentiments of
Washington's farewell address, the
decisions of the supreme court for
a century, the presumptious doc
trino of James Monroe and the
solid advice of Abraham Lincoln.
Those principles were good enough
in II crude age, but in the last year
of the nineteenth century we join
the monarchs Of the old world in
man hunting, gold hunting, dia
mond hunting and for entangling
alliances without end.

DR.. John wier, president Of the
Methodist Conference Seminary at
Buckhannon, paid the Telegram a
very pleasant and delightful call
Friday morning. DIR. Wier was here
attending Conference. He says the
enrolment at the seminary Is about
300, the largest in the institutions
history at this time Of the year, and
he believes it will reach $50 this fall.
The institution is free from debt with
funds to spare, and the management
hopes as result of the Twentieth

buildings. The prospect is bright for
the school to become a great lnStitu-

in quality and scope to that of the
leading educational institutions Of the

FRAUDS IN FABRICATED WINES


 Today is the day of wine-faker. Never before in the history of the trade have his devices been so numerous and his connec- tons so villainous. Never before, too, have his profits been more satisfactory. So long as there is demand for ful-bodied Bur gundies" and ''clarets" at, say shiliinss a dozen, that demand will be supplied.
 There is vast difference between fabri- cated and adulterated wine The latter is generally pretty easy to deal with Fabri- cated wine is far more difficult of detec- tion.
 Here we have a concoction of a more or less chemical nature, which is designed with the express idea of closely initiating the genuine wine, both in color, "bouquet' and taste One favorite fabrication consists of per cent. of water, 513 per cent of aleo- hol and fa per cent of tannin The two latter ingredients are obtained from the cheapest form of imported raisins.
 Very frequently these 'raisns' consist oe squeezed grape husks which have already done genuine service in some French wine press. They cost next to nothing to ifa- port, are refermented here in England and tilSli Jh4SS lo thSQ Oul Nlll tue LlH or tartaric acid and molasses. Consequenaz the maker is enabled to sell his concoc.Icri at the ridiculously low price of about Is 2d per gallon, and at the same time to make an excellent profit upon the transaotta=- Much of this beverage first sees the light in or near London.
 The retailer sells 1t again at about 2s Cd per gallon; or, if bottled and beautifully sealed and cobwebbed, at the considerably enhanced price of, say, sixpence per pint bottle-"Our famous six shilling claret.'
 A particularly pungent revelation of the beauties of certain British Tight wines" was afforded the Food Preservatives Com mittee by Prof. w. H. Morfeld. This scientist, who is consulting sanitary ad- wiser to Her Majesty's Office of Works, stated that he commonly found salicylic acid in these "vintages." Salcylic acid he added, for the benefit of his non-scientific hearers, was a slightly acrid irritating substance which was much in demand among afflicted people as a corn solvent

Fl opY DAILY NEWSPAPER N ALABAMA
Alabama Staie Fair.

The weather has been unpropitious thus far in the fair season, but in the bad weather preparations have been advanced, and on Monday there will be a State Fair open to visitors that no AlabaHian need be ashamed of There will be stock and ma chinery and minerals and agricultural prod ucts there that all should see.
 A better exhibit of the States mineral resources was never perhaps gotten to- gether and it is presented in the most striking form. Instead of single specimen there are great pyramids of them, and the eye enjoys the spectacle.
 All in all the fair will prove satisfactory as soon as the weather is better, as it will be next week. This fair will doubtless be accepted as the best the State assoca- tion has ever organized. Every building is full of exhibits, and every one of the ar tlcles on exhibition Is worth ones time to see

some kind for the reduction of Southern representation will be attempted. There is no lack of audacity in that party. It never did have any regard for the constitution.
 Senator Carter of Montana is chairman of the census committee of the Senate, and Representatives Hopkins of Illinois of the house committee. Both are partisan and sectional, and both will lend themselves to any scheme that will help the Republ cans and hurt the Democracy.
 The surest and best way to defeat such plotting is to get out the fullest possible vote next Tuesday If every Democrat will come out and help to get his neigh bors to the polls, the Republicans will have no ground to stand on, and their proposed scheme will fall to the ground. But if the election be permitted to go by default in the South then there will be trouble and plots and schemes, and much harm may come from them

knqIo-German Agreement.

The Anglo-German agreement has been accepted by all the powers to the extent of guaranteeing the territorial integrity of China and tine open door," It was seen as soon the news of the agreement was an- nounced that it practically solved the larger features of the Chinese problem, leaving not very little more to be determined than the indemnites to be paid by China.
 The third clause of the Anglo-German agreement relates to situation rendered impossible by the acceptance of the first two clauses of it. If no power endeavors to secure territorial concessions, then the third clause of the Anglo-German agree ment becomes imperative, and Germany and England would not have to take steps flor the protection of their interests in China"
 There is no reason now why the entire Chinese problem may not be speedily set tied by the diplomats at Pekin, and the country opened to the trade of the world, it should be. The trade of America and England is especially hurt by the present situation, and the damage is by no means light.
 Secretary Hay should expedite a settle ment now that the chief lines upon which it must be made are defined. Speed in set- tlement is now more important than any thing else. The trade of nations with vast population is a vastly important piece of business, and the etiquette of negotiations should conform to the needs of the case.

For ex- ample he cites on every possible occasion the vote in the First District of Mississippi in 1898, which was only 2i6i, and then he puts alongside it the vote in the Second Colorado District, which was 80, ,063.

 But he breaks out in a trade against the public school system, denounclng it as gigantic fraud.
 Tt makes the individuals of the lower classes brassy, cheeky and presumptdous, said he but does not in the least better their condition sociologieally."
 Dead. dear! Lower classes. There is in- deed great danger that they will become uppish if they have a chance to educate themselves. A great many men who have been educated in the public schools have become uppsh They have gone up and up until they reached the top.
 It is a trait of Americans to get uppish and show that class distinctions drawn by snobs do not hold against ability. force and character. It is the mission of the pub lie schools to equalize opportunity and dif- fuse intelligence and healthful ambition; in short, to abolish all class distinctions and make merit the test of success.
 Professor Laughlin should devote him. self to the study of American institutions.
