Constitution is Ignored.

Long after the actors on the political stage of to-day have disappeared from this earth, the great defense of constitutional right began by MT. Richardson and ended by MT. Bailey will be rehearsed, and used by those who are called upon to defend that instrument from attack. So com pletely did tine democrats of the house, aided by Mir. Littlefleld of Maine, riddle the republican position that no pre- tence was made towards the close of the debate of respect for the constitution. Facts and conditions were spoken of, and emphasis was laid on the poverty of the Porto Ricans, but no one on the rep,1olican side attempted to show that the original or the amended bill were within the limita- uons of the constitution.
 The amended bill is in every respect as objectionable as the original bill. So far = ap observance of the constitution is

Ladysmith and the Campaign.

The surrender is only important as an incident in the march, first to Boemfontein, the capital of the Free State, and then to Pretoria, the capital of the Transvaal. The distance from one capital to the other is fully two hundred miles, and railroad be- guarded. It is long road, and even Gen eral French cannot traverse 1t speedily.
 The dull and tiresome period of the war Is approaching. Neither General Roberts nor General Kitchener will sacrifice a sim gle British life in order to win applause at home. They will take time in which to conduct all needful movements, but that they will in the end knock at the gates of Pretoria no one can reasonably doubt. Noth- ing but peace terms can prevent such a re- suit.
 As soon as Bloemfontein Is reached the flankng of General Joubert at or near Lady will begin to be accomplished and his position will soon thereafter be rendered untenable In fact the relief oi Ladysmith, now in great need of 1t, Is the chief point of interest, for no one now ques- tions the power of Roberts and Kitchener to take care of themselves in the Free State.
 The surrender of General Cronje takes from the contest very picturesque figure although very little of his early history k known. He fought in the war of 1884, and he was-the hero of the Jameson war, for il was he who routed and captured the great raider. He is about 65 years of age, ani like most of his fellow 'burghers he is 6 deeply religious man. His 16-year-old grandson accompanied him in battle, and General Roberts has agreed that they shall not be separated in captivity.

 concerned, there is not bit of difference between them. Both go to establish the rule that Porto Rico Is not part of the United states-that it is co1ony--and that congress and the president can govern 1t as Spain had governed 1t four hundred years. The bill accepts and stands by the spanish doctrine of colonial rule. pushing aside the American doctrine that President Mckinley and Secretary Root, and ever Chairman Payne had endorsed, but are ready now to repudiate. Duties are under the Payne bill to be collected at both ends. Porto Rican exports and imports are to be taxed. The constitution expressly forbids export taxes, and it provides that import taxes shall be equally laid. Both provis- ions are defied in the Porto Rican bill
 Porto Rfco is a part of this country, as every one knows or can readily know. It is as much part of this country as Ala bama or Massachusetts is, and the repubn- cans have simply decided that the consti- tuition shall not longer be permitted to stand in the way of their plans. They have long been in the habit of evading under one pretext or another it's terms, but never before have they openly and brazenly re- versed important provisions in 1t. A sub servient senate, executive, and supreme court is expected to do the rest.

THE DECISION IN RUSSELL

From the Union springs iferalu'
 AS will be seen from a news article ap- pearbng on the first page today, the ex- ecuttye committee of Russell county have met and acted on the contest that was in augunaaed because of the alleged fraud in Girard beat From the time of the coming together of the committee on Wednesday ,anti the deliberations were finished on the following day it was evident that that body of persons was anxious to do what was right They gave attentive audience to the contes tants and contestees, and con saidered all the evidence presented. From that evidence it was clear ito the committee that the alleged fraud had been perpe- trated and that the election in that beat (Girard) had not progressed in the fair and open-handed manner that the county and her people should sanction. When it was conciusively proved to the committee that this fraud existed, the committee acted as an honorable body of gentlemen should, and decided that the Gfrard beat box should not be counted in the returns but that the Ioeait might have an oppor- tunsty of redeeming itself and holding a fair and straightforward election. It was further determined that another primary should be held there on the 14th of April, next, the date on which delegates to the county convention will be selected.
 Could anything more honorable or re- flecdng of greater credit on the people of Russell those whom the committee rep resent, have been done? If so. the Herald fails to see it. There are some who hold that the matter should have stood where dt was, as the fight was entered into by both Johnston and Morgan men in the same manner, both using the same meth ods, and that 1t was a case of twin out'' for one side. This Idea is wholly errone- ous, since it was proved to the committee that there was fraud, and it would nof do to remain quiet, thereby sanctloning such methods. The committee acted wisely, up- rightly and honorably.

TOMLINsON IN TALLAPoOsA
l the Alexander City Outlook.

from the Alexander City Outlook. Hon John w. Tomlinson came down from Birmingham late Sunday evening in order to fill his appointment to address the peo-
 pie of Tallapoosa and Coosa at this place
 Monday morning.
 Despite the bad weather and the high wa ters good crowd greeted the Jefferson favorite at the court house. Mayor A. J: Coley made catchy introductory speech and bid the speaker thrice welcome to the city and county. Colonel Tomlinson, who is at once a fluent and engaging speaker, with a magnetic eye and smile that play like searchlights on an audience. replied in most happy vein, and hi one hour ad- dress was vastly enjoyed by every nearer. It was lucid and concise, showing his posi- tion as a gl1bernatorial candidate on every important state and national issue, and leaving no one In doubt as to his sincerity of purpose. There was rene of the "stump clap-trap' about his speech. He made very clear his position on the school book ques- tion, and as the champion of measures to crush the school book trust he is winning golden opinions.
 Colonel Tomainson made a fine impression here. and the result was that a fiourishing Tomlinson club was organized, composed of many of the leading citizens of the coun- try.

MASON FOR CLARK

Washington Correspondence Boston Tran
 script
 Senator Mason of Illinois will vote to keep W. A. Clark in the senate. ''The gentle man from Ilinois' has not investigated the charges of corruption, and he does not in- him whether Clark bought the seat or stole 1t. It seems that at the opening of the pres ent session Mason was seated one day at fis desk looking over a bundle of petitions of the Boers. when a pale, pink gentleman strolled over from the democratic side of the chamber and passed before him. Mason looked up and recognized the fabulously rich copper king who had been pointed out to him. He nodded and received "a slight inclination" in return.
 ''Tlny Heath wanted to be remembered to you," began the gentleman with tawny whiskers and flowing locks.
 Beg pardon?" said Mason.
 '.I say lilly wanted to be remembered to you, and Mort Murphy wanted to know if you remembered when you stole his lunch"
 "Great heavens! You are not Willie Clark"
 By this time the stout member from llli- nois had climbed out of his chair and dodged around his desk
 You are not the little frecked-faced ras- cal that used to put bent pins"
 ''The same"
 Clark reeled under the whole-soued slap which his old soIhoolmate administered to hds shoulder; but he was chuckling at the others surprise.
 The little red schooihouse where the statesmen had received their first lessen in book learning and mischief was at Ben- tonsport, Iowa. But that was many years ago, and Mason had never associated the famous copper king with the old school mate, nor had Clark identified the now famous Billy" with the thin and mischiev ous Willie whom he had known years be fore.
 ''Of course will vote for you,' declared Mason at the close of this interview. VI don't care if you bought the whole state.'

DEWEy,s PRIZE MONEY

Washington Correspondent of the Chicago
 Tribune.
 By a decision by the court of claims to- day Admiral Dewey and the officers and men of his fleet will get only $100 for each man in the Spanish fleet sunk in Manila bay, instead of s2O0, as was anticipated by him. Judge Weldon announced the court had decided that the Spanish force was in- ferior to that of the American, and conse- quently there will be a large scaling down of the prize money which Admiral Dewey and his men expected.
 Under the decision of the court Admiral Dewey win be entitled to $9,5OO, but if it had been declared the Spanish force was stronger than the American, he would re- ceive 9,O01. The court lays down the rule that the shore batteries, torpedoes, and mines in the harbor must be ruled out in making an estimate of the strength of the two forces.
 The claimants contended the enemy $ fleet, together with the shore batteries, mines, and torpedoes, was superior by q considerable degree to the force of the American fleet, and authorities were quoted to show that these defenses should be in- cluded in the estimate of strength of the respective forces. 4f
 Admiral Dewey and his attorneys are not satisfied with the decision of the court of claims, and will appeal to the supreme court. They will make strong fight in that court to have their contention upheld. as the difference in money which the claim ants would get under their contention is double the amount they will receive under the decision of the court of claims, end the admiral and his associates think tssis Is worth working for.

Russell County Alone Competent.

Governor Johnstons appeal from the Russell county democratic executive com mittee Is, not only an appeal from the ac-
 ton of his own disgusted friends and sup porhers, but 1t is also a declaration that home rule Is a myth when it takes legis- lators from the boss. The action of the county committee was based wholly upon evidence presented by candidates for local offices. They did not propose to be beaten by the riff-raff of Georgia city who voted repeatedly and illegally. They knew the facts of the case; the county committee, which was at the outset a Johnson organ izatton, knew the facts, and by a vote of s to 2 they ordered a new election in the Georgaa-af1icted beat of Girard. The two committeeman who voted mo- held proxies from two men who were presumably ashamed to uphold the Girard primary as 1t was conducted under the direction and supervision of Governor Johnston himself.
 The Morgan campaign committee took no part in the Russell contest; 1t was wholly a matter between home and local asplT- ants, and when Governor Johnston en- deavors to intervene he attacks the princi- ples of home rule. He practically says to the people of Russell, You shall not be- permitted to control your own affairs be- cause you are endangerng my grip upon the countys representa- tion in the legdsla- ture" Whether the people of Russell are right or wrong in their action as to Cir ard beat, they have right to determine | whether or no a beat primary was properly conducted. The state executive committee should hear an appeal that comes up from the county, but an appeal from the state house is both absurd and, beyond all prec- edent, dmpertinent.

REAL AND SEEMING
James Russell Lowell.

James Russell Lowell. Our slender life runs rippling by, and glides Into the silent hollow of the past;
 What is there that abides To make the next age better for the last?
 Is earth too poor to give us Something to live for here that shall out live us?
 Some more substantial boon Than such-as flows and ebbs with Fortunes tickle moon?
 The little that we see
 From doubt is never free;
 The little that we do
 Is but half-nobly true;
 With our laborious hiving What men call treasure, and the gods call dross,
 Life seems a jest of Fate's contrving, Only secure in everyone's contriving, o long account of nothings paid with loss, Where we poor puppets. jerked by unseen wires,
 After our little hour of strut and rave, With lall our pasteboard passions and de- sres, Loves, hates, ambitions, and immortal fires Are tossed pell-mell together in the grave But stay! no age was e'er degenerate Unless men held it at too cheap rate For in our likeness still we shape our fate.

FULL OF sTRa,NG MEN

From the Union Springs Herald.
 A general opinion is that the next general assembly of Alabama will be composed, as a whole, of the best men that ever formed that body. This idea is entertained from the fact that the hot Morgan and Johnston fight, each side determined to win, has caused nearly every county to put out its best and strongest men, or the most repre- sentative men who will yield to the pres sure for good men, and try to elect them. As each faction tries to offset the other with a 'fbetter man. it is natural to pre- sume that the general assembly will be full of able legislators. This is the only good we can seeHto result from this unen- viable contest.

Build the Nicaragua Canal.

!. The railroad interests that want no canal on any route, and the eastern interests that for one reason or another prefer the Pan- anna route are no doubt behind the effort to deadlock the house and senate, and to prevent the passage of the Nicaragua bill at this session of congress. In the senate these interests are striving to prevent two-thirds vote in favor of the ratification of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and in the house they are striving to pass bill that provides for fortified canal, although for tifications are we'll known to be valueless on such work. If the senate ratifies the treaty, as it probably will, then the house will be urged to pass a bill providing for a fortified canal; if the house passes first such a bill then every effort will be made to have the senate ratify the treaty. Either way deadlock could be brought about, and this is what the interests opposed to a Nicaragua bill now desire.
 They know that an appeal to the country is no longer open to them. They know that public sentiment is overwhelmingly against them, but they know that manipu- lation is possible while congress is in ses- sion. The will of the people is to be de- feated by tricksters and lobbyists.
 '.For nearly four hundred years" says the New York Herald "the nations have been talking and planning this great work, and we have aspfred to the glory of accomplish ing it. Congressmen who are contending for the futile dog in the manager policy that we should have this great maritime high way all to ourselves should remember that two travellers in the fable who struggled for possession of the ass shadow until the beast ran away The value of the time, energy, type, ink and paper wasted in dis cussing isthmian projects and in conten- tons over the Clayton-Bulwer treaty would pay for the building of the canal. This treasury is overfowing, and the people are almost unanimous in favor of the enter prise. All things conspire to make this the psychological moment for initiating the work. The future may bring distractions and difficulties Let us banish these petty insular prejudices, unworthy of nation which has just planted it's flag on the fur ther shores of the Pacific, ratify the treaty, and seize the golden opportunity to build under the eyes of an admiring world this monument to the energy enterprise and genius of the American people,"
