ON STATEHOOD MATTER

Guthrie o. r.. Dec. San Of the
Logan county delegates to the South Nc
Alester statehood convention who could
be reached were interviewed today as to
The results to be expected from that
meeting. These, analyzed, cannot be
said to show a very nigh average Of
hopefuuess regarding the influence of
that body upon a settlement Of the ques-
ton. though there is no lack of zeal upon
the general proposition. One delegate
alone expressed state OF mind unse
ted rs to the merits Of single statehood.
The result of a season of Interviewing
among the delegates. the question sub
miteed being, "What VIII the South Nc
Alester convention do; or, what can it
do. and what should it dog" appear be-
iow 1t is considered thar the views ex-
pressed fairly cover the ground and rep
resent particularly all views:

OUR COAST DEFENsEs.
FortihcationA Have Been In Course
of Erection for Many
Years.

For the past 10 years the govern
ment has been erecting coast fortifica-
tions according to a general plan, de-
vised by officers of the army, which will
cost in the aggregate about $125,000,-
OO0--the work to be spread over a
series of years.
Although the plan in its essential
features was adopted, the work has not
been carried on with the intended RAJ
pidity. The Spanish war found the
coast cities poorly fortified Such for
tifcations as existed were inadequately
provided with old-fashioned ammuni-
ton. The smoke from the powder
would have defined the position of the
batteries to an enemy.
The idea that the coast must bristle
with guns is offensive to most Ameri-
cans. The country has been defended
in the past by its isolation, its nom
interference traditions, and its ships.
Even now the completion of the coast
defenses is retarded by the opposition
Of navy men, who advise that the money
intended for such defenses be spent for
ships rather than for forts.
The experience of the Spanish war
certainly justifies good opinion of the
defensive value of modern inshire bait
teries, since while our good ships were
unable to harm seriously even very old
and poorly equipped coast defenses,
they easily made way with the enemy's
ships
Nor can it be longer assumed that the
policy Of keeping out of the quarrels
Of Europe secures the American coasts
perpetually from attack. Our Zine of
battle" is now extended over the whole
world. Common prudence and ordinary
Yankee foresight admonish that the
system Of defenses be completed at an
early cate.-Youth's Companion.

At an entertainment in Edinburgh,
just as the Boer war broke out, the au-
dience stopped the performance to sing
the national anthem. So far this was
all right, but more followed. A few
hotheaded spirits caught sight Of uni
form, and the wearer, despite his pro-
tests, was carried, shoulder high,
around the building. When he regained
terra firma some one asked him for the
name Of his regiment, his uniform not
being familiar.
Regiment" was the surprised reply.
MAN, I'm the doorkeeper. What's
gaun wrang wi ye a'?"-Spare Mo-
ments.

received the endorsement Of the Dem
ooratie newspapers Of Louisiana and

good, solid, reliable men-the kind
that 70 to form sthe main spring Of
this government, and the worst that
can be said Of it by it's enemies is
that it is not composed Of brilliant
men. It is admitted that the party
standard bearers are capable and
trustworthyrand in the management
81 the affairs Of State these qualities
are Of much more Importance than
mere %brillialcy
