1T is quite true that the administra-
tion's foreign policy does not and will
not command the approval of the Dem
ocratic party or. the Democratic lead
ers. 1t was not to be expected that,it
would, and if it did it would not com
mand the approval of the majority Of
the American: people. The foreign
policy of an administration cannot be
made in a day and it cannot be rigid;
fixed and unyielding. It must neces-'
sarily be changed from time to time to
meet the requirements of: changing
conditions, the development of com
MERGE, and the relations of foreign
powers. The president has shown. an
honest and intelligent purpose to estab-
lish and maintain a. policy that: will.
accommodate itself to- the rapidly
growing needs of the government at
home and abroad, and in this he is. be-
ing, and will be, supported by an In
telligent Republican congress. stFor
this reason, if for no other, the people
will be disposed to condone small Of
lenses OF the individual congressman
in order to surround the president with
2 legislative body that Will be IN h ar
mOny with his purposes. - y So fts.'

P1NEowners complain thatthe pres.
ent method of taxing lands will cause
all the standing pine to be cut as soon
as possible in order to escape taxation
and soon the lumber industry will be a
thing of the past in this State. Thew
evidently prefer to do business as in
days of yore, when they we're allowed
to cut the timber without paying taxes
and after stripping the land let.it re-
vert to the State. Several counties
would not be in debt now if the taxes
on pine lands had been paid as on
other property.

HE time has come when the Re-
publican party and the Republican
majority in congress must do some
thing moro than merely crate against
the trusts. Nearly every article of
consumption by the common people is
now in the. hands of the trusts, which
regulate the supply and control the
price, 1t is useless to look to the
Democrats for any relief even should
they be successful at the polls, for the
Democratic party :. has: long since
demonstrated its inability to cope with
any living issue,or provide a remedy
for any existing evil, The success of
the Republican party in the next cleo
ton will be largely measured by the
honesty and earnestness with which it
commits itself to the regulation or alb
solute suppression OF the trusts.

'THt4T TARIFF BILL.

The Puerto Rican tariff bill contin-
ues to furnish an interesting topic for
discussion and the people are express
ing themselves plainly on the action
OF the lower house of congress. It is
plain to all that the is per cent.
tariff was not demanded by the people
OF the United States at large nor con-
sidered necessary by: the congressman
themselves, for a SUBSEQUENT act
showed this. If it had been necessary
to derive a revenue from this source
congress would never have voted toI re-
turn the proceeds to the island-an act;
OF generosity that can have but one ex.

when one considers the attitude of the

the government, but see: in the tariff.
an opportunity to take from the pock-,
cts OF the consumers few: cents more
per pound for the trust products. The
trusts carried their point and the re-
suit emphasizes the golden text quoted

ANNOYING TO DEMOCRATS

One OF the most annoying conditions
to Democrats is the fact that the

newly acquired islands, the country's
income is greater than the expenses.
This condition is SO different from the
usual way under Democratic admins

THRILLING SCENE
 WILL BE PRESENTED
The Grand Spectacular Perform
 anCe Begins Tonight.
NAVAL BATTLE OF SANTIAGO
Great Historic Fight Will be Repro duced With Startling Realism-To be Repeated Monday and We'd
 nesday-Magnificen Display

Tonight at o'clock the first presenta- ton of the grand realistic spectacular, the Naval Battle of Santiago" and fire works display will be given at the circus grounds, Avenue A and Twenty-fifth street. It will be in the nature of a revola- tion to a majority of the people of this city. As nothing of the kind has ever been presented in Birmingham before the "Fall of Pompeii'' a few years ago being the nearest approach to this interesting exhi- bition great many persons get the pro- duction confused with a moving picture stericoptican or panorama arrangement. It is nothing of the kind. It is a marvel of realism, the effect being produced by per- rect mechanism pyrotechnics and the science of art The exhibition covers over six acres of space surrounded by canvas side walls. The spectators face a scene showing the fortified heights of Santiago. with it's Moro, and the entrance to the har- bor. with the Typographical features of the coast along which the historic battle was fought This is 2SO feet long and 2S feet high In the foreground there is a scenic sea extending forward over 100 feet
 A grand illumination of the scene shows the American ships on patrol duty in front of Santiago. The Merrimac steams from behind and drops slowly down into the entrance to the harbor and is blown up. A short intermission and then comes the desperate dash of the gallant Cevera's fleet, shiI@after ship, followed by the chase, the terrible cannonading, the de- struction of the Vizcaya and Maria Theresa and the bleaching of the other boats.
 So real is the spectacle that one almost believes that the battle is in progress be- fore his eyes. A feature which always evokes approval is the New York, Samp- sons ship, which is left lying at the ex- treme end of the scene and not moved until the battle is fought and won and the boats disappear from view, while the Brooklyn, Admiral Schleys ship, was in the thickest of the fray.
 Following the battle a grand fire works display is given, beginning with a por- trait of Admiral Schley enshrined with the American flag, the flag of Cuba, watched by the guarding eye of the American eagle, old glory in fire and many other in- teresting features. New ones will be in- troduced nightly.
 A large crowd Is expected, and those who come early will be assured seats. The Birmingham clerks decided at their last meeting to attend the exhibition in a body Monday night as will several other organizations
