SENATOR MoReAN's TRIUMPH

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The young men of Alabama have an ob- ject lesson on the value of principle in Senator Morgan. When a young man he was devoid of both money and '1nfluence," but by earnest devotion to duty he se- cured the latter and still allows the former to care for itself.
 Senator Morgan was nominated in a Democratic caucus Thursday night for @ fifth term In the Federal Senate. That is an honor accorded few men. Perhaps not dozen south of the Mason's and Dixon S line have been thus complimented since the foundation of this government, but there have not been dozen men who were the equal of Alabama's senior Senator. He looks back upon his record and truth fully says he has labored for principles, and after all that Is the best.
 Senator Morgan's greatness should not be a surprise

eRIees ON THE CONSTITUTION

From the Washington Times.
 It is stated that Attorney General Griggs Is now engaged upon a task which is to be the magnum opus of his career in the cabi- net, and fittingly mark his retirement to some other sphere of action. The work is understood to be in connection with the CO., lonial cases now before the Supreme Court; in fact, it is an elaborate argument ill which the Attorney General of the United States will take the unique position of try ing to show tEat the constitution is not necessary incident of American sovereign ty. outside of the forty-five component states of the Union.
 During the past few days there has been an apparent revival of confidence among administration people that the Supreme Court will reverse it's course and action ever since the formation of the govern ment, and grant the contention of MT Rockefeller and other modern statesmen, that the flag and the executive power which only exist by virtue of creation by the con- stitution, are independent of 1t. We are hardly prepared to believe such an outcome possible. Unretainad constitutional law yers generally take the view favorable to that charter of liberties. Republican poli- ticans, on the other hand, lean to the i'm perial anti-constitutional side of the mat ter; and that is too natural to require com ment.

apply to a station, which Atlanta stands more in need Of than any other large town l know of in the whole of the United States and Canada. The present 'carshed.' as Atlantians call their rlckety, grimy little old station, is entirely inadequate, and in appearance it would be disreputable to a town of 10000 inhabitants. But with all the hurrah business of the past few weeks, and previous few years, I am afraid Att lanta will have to wait a long time for a respectable station. Somebody has intro dueed a bill in the Georgia Legislature pro- viding that the State shall build a station for Atlanta at cost of s5OO.OOO That is perhaps the oldest legislation ever seri- ously proposed in any State of the Union but possibly it will be passed. They some times do queer things in Georgia.
 But I have got nothing to do with that I merely meant to say that it is not new depot'-'deepoe,' they call it-which is wanted in Atlanta; they want a passenger station"
 Rev. Dr. Thomas Armstrong and Mrs Armstrong of Fayette were in Birmingham yesterday on their way to visit relatives in Decatur, and there to await the assem- CA the Methodist Church. Dr. Armstrong was formerly Methodist minister at Decatur, where he is still greatly beloved, and was one of the strong heroes in the disastrous epidemic of yellow fever there in 1888. He was years ago editor of the Alabama Chris tian Advocate, and has been several times stationed in Birmingham.
 
 Mir. John Seaton of Atchson, Kan, and Mrs. l.. Seaton Wilder of Wilder Place, Decatur, are in Birmingham.
 Capt. c. P. Anderson of Montgomery was in Birmingham yesterday.
 MT. Robert c. Redus has returned from a prolonged visit to New York.
 Dr. J. J. Smith of Seattle, Wash, is in Birmingham.
 MT. J. H. Barrett, general superintendent of transportation, and MT. J. s. B. Thomp- son, general agent of the Southern Railway were in Birmingham yesterday
 The condition of the weather Is very dis agreeable and puzzling. It is doubtful if ever before at this late date in November the temperature was so high. It was about 75 yesterday at noon, and was terribly op- pressive. About four inches of rain have fallen in Birmingham within the past two days.

by the rules that she suggests. Whether they be regarded as the results of her spec ulation on the problems of life or as the lessons of her practical experience, their fine substance is equally apparent She has sister who is married to a spend- thrift flop, affording to his wife a title and a status in the fashionable sets of Euro pean capitals Let us hope she is happy, although her brothers have to appeal to the courts to get the right to protect her inheritance from spoliation. But it would not the presumptions to believe that Helen Gould, unmarried, going about doing good, giving counsel and hearty sympathy with her generous help to noble efforts for broadening and ennobling life, and directly meeting hundreds of humble souls who need encouragement in the stern struggle of their lives.

River and Harbor Improvement.

The Rivers and Harbors Committed Of which MT. Bankhead is a member, and of which he would be chairman if the Demo- crats were in control of the House of Rep resentatives, is visiting the rivers of the South that the government is improving or has been invited to improve. In this great work of internal improvement Alabama is especially fortunate in having at the source of appropriation power so competent an ad- yooate and friend as John H. Bankhead.
 This State Is particularly a river state. She has noble rivers, but nearly every one of these noble rivers have noble shoals or rapids in them. because they rise in the mountains and seek the sea traversing the State from end to end. Mir. Bankhead holds place that means much to the State. He holds the key that will unlock the vast mineral deposits on the Warrior, the great wooded reaches of the Coosa and the rich cotton lands of the Tombigbee and Ten for deep water, and even the shifting chan mel of the Alabama Is part of his care.
 He has the support of MT. Underwood and of all the rest of the delegation, and whatever he can get through the committee for Alabama's good generally goes through the House. No man is in position to do State than MT. Bankhead. and the State

PISTOL DUEL.
Fought by Negroes Near Columbus, Ga.,
 Yesterday Afternoon.

Columbus, Ga., November 2.--Mitchell Taylor and Charlie Conner, both negroes, fought terrible duel with pistols just out side the city limits about o'clock this afternoon about a balance of $52.15 due on a watch by Conner to Taylor.
 During the early afternoon the two men met uptown and only Taylor's falling to have his p istol prevented the fight then. Taylor armed himself and went out near Comer's home and waited for him to come. When the two men were near enough they began firing. Conner was killed and Tay- Tor was badly wounded.
 During the fusilade Taylors sister ran between the men as peacemaker and was herself shot through the head by Taylor. She died in a few minutes. Taylor was carried to a physician for treatment and will be locked up if he lives.
 The affair created considerable excite ment among the negroes and they were free to put Taylor down as bad man.

Mir. Leath's Child Labor Bill.

If there be those who doubt the em- der years during long hours for Russian pay-if there be any such people in the Legislature of Alabama, the serGeant-at- arms should display his alleged mace and muster them into line and march them to the door of the nearest cotton factory at the hour of dispersion. For there they will see little girls eight or nine years of age who for pittance began breathing in lint and dirt before daylight, and when night came were still at 1t, never feeling for one moment a ray of the vivifying sun. And they will see not one such child, but scores of them, and in some towns in the State hundreds of them.
 Now who is responsible for this treat ment of helpless little children-for this worse than chattel slavery, as MT. Leath correctly pronounces 1t? Not the mill driy- CT primarily, although he is willing agent, but you and I, friends and fellow citizens, are the ones who should be held responsible, for sovereignty means the con- trol and supervision of every soul in the State. Nor is our responsibility shifted by any spacious plea whatever. If other states do so and so, so much the worse for them. If Alabama cannot have cotton mills unless she authorize the employment of her little ones at ungodly hours for un- godly pay, then let the State be milless. We want no mills founded on wrecked lives of the little children of the State, We want no mills built on helplessness and tender innocence
 There are children no more than seven years old-little girls as a rule-in the factories of this State, who are summoned long before daylight and are driven into the noisy lint-flled air and there kept un- til long after nightfall, in order that they may earn ten cents day. Let no one say that this inhuman system would go on in other states, and that the passage of MT. Leath's bill would simply transfer them to other mills. Away with such devices. The other cotton states are moving in this mat ter. Let Alabama clear her own skirts; that is all she can do.

THE DIFFERENCE IN MEN.

F. B. Sanborn in Springfield Republican.
 When think of the shouting and splurg- ing Roosevelt, racing across thirty States to islander one-half of his countrymen and fiatter the other half, and neglecting his duties at home, while shabbily dealing with his associate, the Mayor of New York the more does the quet, organizing, benefcent force of Henry Willard come back to mem ory. He was man as much superior to the partisan politicians, even the eminent ones, like Hoar, Reed and Harrison, in real service to the country, as great abilities unselfshly exerted could make him.

Inc Chinesa Situafion.

The early settlement of the Chinese ques- ton Is earnestly desired by every interest in the United States, but judging from the position taken by the Presidents advisers at Tuesdays meeting of the Cabinet the concert of the powers may yet be broken, which would further complicate the situa- ton and prolong the final adjustment of affairs. It Is stated that the administration is not disposed to join with the other gov ernments in making demands upon the Chinese Imperial authorities with which the Chinese government cannot comply.
 The difference that exists among the gov ernments on the several points under con sideration it is believed will prevent the ministers at Pekin from reaching an agree ment.
 The several proposals that have been made by the different governments are not endorsed in their entirety by the interested powers and in holding out on these techni- cal differences the motives of some of the governments ares questioned, and suspicion has been aroused
 The real situation is anything but en- couraging, and complications may arise which will further retard and delay the res toration of peace in the benighted kingdom of the East

FITZHUGH LEE
Discusses the Future of Cuba--His New
 Post.

New York, November H.-Brig. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who has just returned from Havana, having been appointed to the Department of Missouri, had little to say about Cuba. He has now severed all con- nection with the island after an intimate association with its affairs for nearly five years, except for brief period during the war.
 The General says the Cuban constitution al convention has made little progress, but is nearly ready to begin with real busi- ness. Asked how long it would take the convention to adopt a constitution, tho General said "That is problematical. No body knows what the outcome will be. Until this is settled there is little to say of the future of the island.'
 General Lee will go to Richmond for short stay before going to Omaha, where he will establish his headquarters about the first of next month.
