Cuts in Sugar.

The recent cuts in sugar are not aito- gether due to rival companies or manipu- lations of a stock-jobbing sort. There is great deal of raw sugar to come on the market. The Louisiana crop now nearly due will be fully SOO,OOo tons; the West Indies crops are heavy, and the beet sugar crop, both al home and abroad, is abundant.
 The active selling season at the reflueres is ended. and 1t may be that they are en- deavoring by sharp cuts in the flag end of the supply for the season, to secure raw sugar at lower prices. Instead of squeezing the cotton farmers they are squeezing the sugar planters; but the latter are gener- ally well heeled against such schemes, and they understand them to a nicety.
 Refined sugar should sell fully one cent a pound lower, and the indications are that a new basis will be found at about that re- auction. Beet sugar is the disturbing ele- ment. and its production is yearly becom- ing larger

All coiors in the United States.

Tire United States Supreme Court, which is Republican from Justice Shiras up pr down, the reader may prefer, will have many interesting questions to decide very soon; but not one will be more interest ing than the one that defines the political status of the new possessions Is Hawaii, Porto Rico or the Philippine archipelago a part of the federal republic? If so, the people of those islands are Americans, en- titled to all the life and liberty and pur- 1lit of happiness that the mainland Amer san enjoys
 This question came recently before an United States judge in Honolulu. A Chi naman-John by name-sailed from New York to Honolulu. Under the Chinese pro- hibition act of the United States the au- thorties sought to exclude him-endeavor- ed to prevent him from landing. Judge Estee, however, decided that Honolulu is an American port. and that John Chinaman had right to move about in his adopted country as much as he pleased.
 If this decision secures the sanction of the United States Supreme Court 10000 Chinese in Hawaii and a vast indefinite number in the Philippines are, if not Amer ican citizens, entitled to remove freely out limit or restriction of any kind. This would add very largely to the yellow pop ulation of this country, giving us about all the colors that the human race is capa- ble of, for we have some red men left, and a very large assortment of black men.

Pekin, October 4, via Tien Tsin, Sunday, October ', and Shanghai, October S.-The American troops will not participate in the expedition at Pao Ting Flu. General Chaf- fee has the assurance of Ii Hung Chang that if the allies desire Pao Ting Flu, the Chinese will readily surrender that city.

His first ap- pearance outside of his county was In a contest for the chairmanship of the Demo- cratic committee of Greene, which was brought before the State committee in ses- sion at Birmingham early in the present year. The committee was favorable to MT Levy, in that it took no action to sus- pend him. He was a member of the State Press Association, and was present at the Birmingham meeting, July 1e-17, and was with the party of press excursionists which went to Pikes Peak.
 MT. Devy's death is very shocking and very sad, said J. Asa Rountree, secretary of the Alabama Press Association, last night. "He was here last Monday, and was as happy and jolly as ever I saw him, and apparently as well. He had been a member of the Press Association for ten years, and had attended every meeting. He was three times a delegate to the Ma tional Press Association conventions; and he was one of the happiest and brightest of all our members His death grieves me greatly"
 Colonel N F. Thompson of Huntsville was in Birmingham yesterday on his way to New Orleans to attend the forthcoming Southern Industrial Convention. He ex- poets the convention to be the largest and most influentlal meeting of its class yet held in the South.
 There will be warm sympathy through out Alabama with the Rev. Dr. B. F. Rf- ley, whose church, the First Baptist church of Houston, Tex, was practically destroyed by the storm which devastated Galveston. Dr. Riley appeals to all Bap- lists and others to aid him in rebuilding his church; and he should receive generous responses.
 Dr. Riley was born in Alabama, and with the exception of six years as professor of English literature in the University of Georgia, he has always resided in this State, by the people of which he is justly honored. He formerly resided at East Lake, where he was the distinguished pres ident of Howard College.

 MT. Ullman refused to put up but offered to bet $10,OOO to S2000.
 MT. Kilduff put up his money today and MT. Ullman will post his later on.
 "I am not plunger," Mir Kilduff said to- day. ''I look upon this as a sheer business proposition.
 MT. Mckinley is in grave danger of los ing his own State. Mir. Ullman has poor information. I will bet any part of s1O0, ,O0O at 5 to 1 that Bryan carries Mckinley s State.

lRt onlY DAILY HEWspApER IN ALABAMA
On the Main Track.

A deficit is a deficiency in treasury money towards meeting liabilities that must be met It is not a deficiency so far as the funded or unfunded debts of the State are concerned. for such debts do not have to be met by current taxation.
 about half column in an explanations that does not explain. Like all discussions of the alleged deficit 1t Is confusing rather than clearing. The trouble probably Is, there is no deficit-no deficiency that must be met by current taxation.
 The case presented by the Age-Herald is briefly this: Auditor White makes the bookkeeping deficit of the State at the be- ginning of this month $1S4,564, and he pre- sents these items of liability:
 Agricultural fund ....... ......$ 53,6 ,659
 Convict fund .......... .......... 4S,S33 University fund ........ ....... 56000
 Iotal ........ ........ .........$ $l5S, ,492
 At the most these are unfunded debts, and should not be included in a statement of a deficiency that must be met by im- mediate taxation. If the Advertiser would expend it's space upon these three items, it would present something pertinent to the issue It would do something towards clearing away the bookkeeping deficit that politicians have juggled with and confused from time out of mind
 The esteemed Advertiser need not waste its valuable space upon ancient history or rates of taxation, or even the present State administration. which will soon be ancient history also. Let Auditor Whites list of liabilities be examined and let us see what the deficiency is that must be met by cur rent taxation The Age-Herald declines to enter the maze of figures that the Adver- tiser presents, Life is too short. Let the issue be confined to Auditor Whites short table, which needs asserting and the Ad- vertiser can do the asserting in short or der if it will address itself to the issue, and not to musty law and hustler history.

As States become old they become stagnant. unless they are richly endowed with minerals as Pennsyl- Vana and Alabama are or unless they build mills and therefore cities as New York and South Carolina are doing. After all Is said, it is the modern factory or mill or furnace that gathers and maintains pop ulation. Agriculture unaided cannot do 1t. Mills can-mills big and mills little, and Alabama should keep this rule in mind. Many of her towns need mills, as the forth coming census report will show.

A story comes from Baltimore that the women are now turning the tables in the matter of imprisonment A man has brought suit against his niece for $500 dam ages, alleging that she has frequently saulted and beat him during two years, and during that time kept him imprisoned for long periods of time, some times in the bath room and some times in the cellar
 The inference is that his niece did not use the bath tub for long period of time, dur ing which it was probably more convent ent to keep the uncle shut up there The long period of time during which the uncle was kept imprisoned in the cellar, was probably while the niece was using the tath tub getting herself tidied up bit Some idea of the length of time 1t took her may be gained from the statement dn the uncles suit that once while prisoner in the cellar he dug a hole through the walls and was fed by neighbors. In the first volume of the Count of Monte Christo' it is said that 1t took an Italian abbe many years-alnost a lifetime to dig q hole through the walls. In Baltimore the walls are not so thick, but those interested in knowing how long 1t took the uncle to dig through and the niece to tidy up can n,ake investisations on their own hook.
