a word without the money, and
since we have studied over the
matter, we r right glad she did
not. She might possibly have
drawn a word picture with US
sitting in the United States Senate
drawing a heavy salary, besides
the great loads of money we would
get for u vote on important
questions. How we would spend
all that money would have been a
continual source of annoyance
from this time on. We have done
nothing for the last twenty years
but build air. castles which fell to
the ground with the first flaw of
wind. We Ire glad she did not tell
our fortune, because we don't be-
lieve in these spirituallsts. An old
dignifed doctor of divinity whom
we knew several years ago said
that spiritnalism is the work of
the Devil. But in these
times when religion is So
much of a profession in
which the genuine article is so
sadly lacking, where shall we
draw the line? II a man locks
out upon this wide world Of
usefulness and does not look
into his own door he will see Vir-
tue clothed in rags and he will
find a feminine creature clad in
silks and satins revelling in the
intoxicating pleasures of this

honest yoemanry toiling for a
mere pittance and find the gam
bier and speculator wearing dia-
monds and broadcloth. And so
on and SO on. Where is the reward

Old William Shakespeare,

got it, seemed to know it all. Law,
medicine, astronomy, chemistry
in fact, everything seemed an
open book to him, He never had
any schooling to amount to any

the human mind as easily as the
geologist asserts every day rocks

In fact, Shakespeare's senten-

power, are often attributed to the
sacred pages of Holy Writ.

BUT THERE $ A DIFFERING,

If the republican newspapers whose editors are having fits over the "dislranchisement of the negro" in North Carolina were to devote their energies and funds to the edu- cation of the unfortunate negro in that state, there would be no dis franchisement to furnish theme for their howlings. The new con- stitution approved at the recent election in North Carolina does not disfranchise anybody who is able to read, whether his color be black or white. Tucson Star.
 But North Carolina disfranchises no white man who cannot read. There is where the difference comes in; and by making colored schools separate with inadequate approp- riations to support the colored schools the illiteracy and disfranch- isement of the blacks is perpetuated. And if this scheme will not work the democracy in that state will find some other way to hold the blacks in subjection.
 But the real object is not so much at their doing as they do; but at their hypocrisy in doing SO and then growing lachrymose over the alleged wrong done the Fel- pino. The real case is that the white race will rule the world any how; and the brown. red, black and yellow races must give way. That has always been democratic doctrine until now, and is now for one part of the United States, while decried by the same party in another portion of its territory. It is dem ocratic hypocrisy in the matter which is the real subject of critic ism.

HARD TO SUIT.

Those who few months ago in sisted that there existed a secret alli- ance between Great Britain and the United States to partition and divide the world between the two great Anglo-Saxon nations, now view with alarm the apparent unity between the United States and Rus sia in the proposition that the
 Allies shall withdraw their armies from China as quickly as possible, and leave the Chinese government to preserve the peace and maintain order. They all seem to think that an agreement, for any purpose whatever, between a republic and an absolute monarchy as unnatural, ifnot reyolting. They forgot that but few months ago they were lament ing an alleged alliance between the republic and a constitutional mon- archy, and they fail to see that their present fears have made ridiculous their former professions. Surely had the administration at Wash ington come to so close an under standing with the British ministry, it would not be so soon abandoned for an alliance with Russia. And they forgot, also, that it is no new attitude for Russia and the United States to stand in accord. It is matter of history that when the American Union was threatened with dissolution and England was doing everything possible to aid the armies of disunion, the Russian government gave its moral support to the American government; and at a time when intervention by France and England seemed pos sible, Russian fleet visiting New York harbor, was palpable hint that the Colussus of the North would not permit Acknowledgement of the great republic of the New World by those nations who sought to delimit her aspirations in the Old World. The two nations which desired the dissolution of the I republic received at the hands of
The oasis., 1900-09-08

Russia a moral blow which so
 weakened their influence that the throne of one tottered and after
 ward fell, aud the other received a
 shock to her prestige to recover from which took a generation.
 The fact was that Russia could not
 then permit France and England the prestige which would come
 with dismemberment of the United States.
 Those short sighted people who are so easily alarmed at the atti- tude of the administration in for eign affairs, and are so hard to suit in the foreign policy of the govern ment, always seeing alliances where there are none, and servilities to monarchies when no servility is possible, fail to read history aright, and measure nothing that is occur ing by what has transpired. Each nation has its own line of develop ment to follow, and can tie its own to the policy of another no longer than such an arrangement is to its advantage; and when such advant- age becomes apparent constitutional and other differences count for nothing. The most absolute mon. archy will play into the hands of a republic, and the most free republic, under the guidance of a wise states manship, will under similar con- ditions strike hands with autocracy. And when ever the exigencies of intercourse among nations bring about such condition the hard to please people stand upon their hind legs and bray, regardless of what they prayed about the month before

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING.
 - ONE MILLION CURED CASES. You Can Be Cured Whether You Believe in Christian Science nr Nnt.

Over a million cures of diseases In every form are now to the credit of Christian Science Healing. Most of these were cases that the doctors had given up as incur able" Many were chronic maladies that had baffled their skill for years. All were cured quickly; some were cured instantly. The evidence on these facts is simply indis- putable and the curing still goes on. There can be no mistake or missta tement about it. The headers and their work are in the public view. As c. S. healer my many marvellous cures have startled the world. During the past 13 years I have healed diseases of almost every known kind and in every stage of severity. They included
 m any surgical cases where operations were otherwise threatened. I cured cases that were far away from me, IS well as those near at hand. And tell you in like man. ner that wherever you may dwell, and whatever be your bodily ailment or w'leth- CT orre or many physicians have failed to give you relief, if you report the case to me and so desire, you shall be cured. This is no vain or idle promise. My past success fully justifies 1t. You can be cured wheth- CT you believe in Christian Science or not. You can be cured whether you live In this city or thousands of miles away from me- In our Christian Science Healing distance is of no account; disbelief Is not any hin dra nee; disappointments of the past only make stronger grounds for hope. All you really need is the wish to be healed.
 I have just published little book in re- gard to this blessed truth called "A Mes- sage of Health and Healing" If you; write to me I will gladly send you a COPY FIR BE. It gives many interesting facts and convincing testimonials. Enclose 3 cent stamp for postage. s. A. Jefferson, c. S. B.. Room 1900 Masonic Temple, Chicago. III. 1-14-52t-sun

A SEVERE REBUKE TO QUAY'S FRIENDS Chandler'S Motion to Enter Into Executive Session Killed. THE CAUSE SEEMS HOPELESS Despite the Wonderful Influences it Looks as if There is Decided Op-
 position to Both Quay
 and Clark

Washington, February 17.-(Speca1)- Seldom has cause received greater re- buke than was given on Thursday just after the passage of the financial bi4l in the sen- ate when Senator Chandler, of New Hamp- shire, sought to prevent tine consideration of the Hawaiian bill, and thus to help the Quay case, by voting an executive session when Senator Culbom was trying to gat the Hawvriian bill made the regular order of business. Not only was the senalte's action a blow between the eyes for Quay. but 1t was a sharp rebuff to Senator Chandler, who has made himself most disagreeaibe re- gently.

 The financial iiIl having been passed, Mir. Cullom, of Illinois. moved to take up the Hawaiian bill. At the same instant Chand- der was on his feet and nsoved an executive session.

CHAMPIONSHIP
 0F THE SOUTH Interstate Contest for Basket Ball Supremacy-The Sched-
 uIe of Games.

The following is the schedule of interstate games of basket ball that has been ar ranged for the southern championship con- test, each game being played on Friday might:
 February 3-Birmingham in Chattanooga.
 March 2-Nashville in Birmingham
 March 9-Chattanooga in Nashville.
 March 16-Nashville in Chattanooga.
 March 23-Chattanooga in Birmingham.
 March 30-Birmingham in Nashville.
 It will be noticed from the schedule that on March and 16 Birmingham has no championship games, and in order that the team may not be idle during that time, it is very probable that at least one game, and possibly two, will be arranged with the team of the Mobile Young Mems Christian association. That is said to be very strong team, and one that would give any of the league teams a lively tussei. In the event that these outside games are arranged Mo- bile will play a game in Birmingham and Birmingham one in Mobile.
 The makeup of the Birmingham team for this season Is as follows: Bradford center; Ferguson, captain right forward: Dean, left forward; Huey, right guard; Warren, left guard. Of these players Bradford and Fer guson were on the regular team that repre- sented Birmingham in the interstate cham pionshfp contest last winter. Dean, Huey, and Warren, also played with the team one game each. The other members of last sea- sons team, Joe Riddle, who has since re- moved from Birmingham; Dan McDonough, who is now traveling freight agent of the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham rail- road, at Atlanta and Fped Underwood, whose duties this season are such that he cannot play with the team.
 The team as now constituted Is consid- cred as strong individually and as a whole as any that ever represented Birmingham, and they fully expect to win a majority of the games they play. They have been prac- ticlng a great deal the past few weeks, and are in fine trim for the coming contests They will continue to pr5ctice daiy until their first game but no more exhibition games will be played before the interstate season opens

ing him in the face? It Is on par with his giving the state printing to an irrespon- sible Florida concern, to the exclusion of reliable Alabama printers who have their money invested in this state and bear their share of the burdens of taxation, and also depriving the honest labor of the state of employment that justly belongs to them. There are reliable publishing houses in the state of Alabama operated by union men, and yet the governor, not only gives state contracts to foreign labor, but sends his own printing outside of the state to be done in rat shop.
