SENATOR PETTUs.

Aside from the fact that Gen. E. w. Pettus Is one of Alabama's Senators Tn the United States Congress, his devotion to the State in every field of action has given him hold upon the affections of the people that is strong and abiding. In the perilous days of reconstruction, when men were arrested by Federal authorities for purposes of intimidation, General Pettus, without fee or reward or the hope thereof" never failed when his ser vices were needed to defend them in the courts Our people here in Montgomery can recall many instances when he was the stalwart defender of men who had been dragged from their homes by the minions of power for no other offense than that of being active Democrats and opponents of Republican and carpet-bag rule.
 Tomorrow night. at the Theatre, Gem erai Pettus will deliver an address in favor of the ratification of the new Con- stitution. and no citizen who can possibly attend should be absent. We all know what he has been in the past, in times of war and peace, and what he Is now always devoted friend of the people of Alabama.
 Let the Theatre be packed tomorrow night to hear this fearless soldier, this able statesman, this patriotic Alabam- Ian.

A NEW SCHOOL HISTORY.

A really remarkable book in many re- spects Is the History of Alabama, by John W. Beverly, colored teacher of this city. for a copy of which The Ad- vertiser Is indebted to the author. In his preface he says:
 Knowledge precedes patriotism. Down to the present time there has been but little study of the history of this splendid State of ours, either in the schools or by the f1reside. That Alabama Is one of the greatest States in the Union in natural resources; that she has produced some of the ablest men in the nation; and that she has boundess possibilities, are facts but little known. In proportion as an individual, as well as nation, becomes familiar with the facts in any case just in that proportion is engendered love for the object of which the knowledge is acquired. Knowledge is the mother of devotion. There can be no lasting at- tachment until the traditions, the laws, the sentiments and all that make State have become household words
 It Is to accomplish the objects intimated in this quotation that the book is in- tended. It is essentially a school-book. for it consists almost entirely of ques- tions and answers Beginning with the coming of DeSoto, the work is brought forward in regular chronological order to the present time. All historical facts and incidents. civil and military, indus trial and educational. geological. agricul- tural and geographical. are fully set out. The historical as well as the social mat ter in the book is, so far as we have ex- amined 1t. exceptionally fair and impar- tial. as we'll as accurate. Taking it al- together, this is, as we have said, really a ramark hla hook

THE FREE FALL FESTIVAL.

In another ten days Montgomery will be decked in festal array. The cool, crisp air of the late October which gives the red tnge to the cheeks and spring to the laggard step, will be laden with her greetings. as she welcomes with stately grace the thousands pouring through her gates to share her unfailing hospitality.
 In the Fall of the year, when the cot ton is picked and the crops laid by. 1t is in order that some recognition should be taken of the completion of the labors of the year. It Is fitting that the cares of business should be laid aside for a sea- son for the joys of innocent recreation; that feet which have been plodding the dreary by-ways of commerce should tread a measure on the lawn of good-fel- lowship and that hearts whose free emo- tions have been choked by the turmoil and dust of trade should give vent to their natural feelings In the genial at- mosphere of social enjoyment.
 Montgomery spreads wide the portals of her gates and sounds in clarion tones her note of invitation to the Fall Festival, promising each and every guest hand clasp of cordial welcome and a week of pleasant diversion.

Anything, although there may seem to be undue formality in it, which will tend to ele- vate and increase the estimation in which our courts and judges are held should be welcomed and adopted. Rising and re- spectfully lowing to the judges is be- ginning in the right direction and 1t may be that the robes will come next.

The Negro Drift.

 The expected drift of the negro nofth' ward has not taken place. While a cer- tain class of people and theorists wei come him there and promise him privi- leges. social and otherwise, which ne does not enjoy in the South. the great mass of the people, the workers with whom they would be thrown into compe- tition. resent the black invasion and cheaper wages, and have been able 10 keep the negro out to any large extent by refusing him work and the means or support. As a consequence. the negro emigration from the South to the Nor1 n has been almost altogether to the towns, where odd jobs and personal service can be secured

Fallacies of Protection.
Dallas News.

Dallas News.
 Protection, like many other develop ments of mans selfshness. is a most shortsighted and dangerous fallacy. It has led to the monopolies by which vast interests are now consolidated and the markets controlled But the direct eco homie results are not the worst results of such meanness. Even if protection paid in dollars and cents 1t would be out of place in a free country. Even if 1t really made us rich for a while, all the riches which come of 1t would not repay us for the dangers and losses to come of it in the end

No Civil War Prejudices.

MOhlle ReglSter.
 Northern men have found pleasant re- ception everywhere in the South, whether rich or poor, excepting where the North ern immigrants come South for political purposes and not for business.
 As matter of fact, the people of the South have no civil war prejudices' against any other section of the country. They accept the right of the people of the North to run their own State govern ments to suit themselves. and they have no desire whatever to meddle with them. The trouble is that good Republicans like these who corrupt the affairs of Northern cities which are under their control form themselves into social purity organiza- tions with the end in view of mending the virtues of the people of the South. So far as this goes, as a political dodge, the South good naturedly laughs at it., knowing the very virtuous source from which it comes: but when the same Re- publican crusaders come South to impose upon this section their purity platform as a political issue. then the people of the South have the right to say: Go away back and sit down.

Are Hard Up.
Lafayette Sun.

Lafayette Sun.
 The critics of Governor Jelks. who ob- jected to his action in calling out the mill itarv fin the St. Clair case, are hard up for something to criticise. The Governor did exactly right. He proved that he pro- poses to stand by the sheriffs of the State. and in doing so he will have the backing of all sensible people. The Gov ernor need not worry about the criticism thus indulged in. for 1t amounts to noth- ing.

We shall not quarrel with The Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot about Mir. Cleveland. The Advertiser believes him a great man, a great statesman and great Democrat, while The Pilot doubts that he is either, and that settles it. Neither The Adver- tiser nor The Pilot will change its views in consequence of the reasoning of the other. and a paper which sizes up our Coosa River along with some of Virginia S spring branches isn't good judge of great things.

An Argument Without Force.

Washington Times.
 When the fight fairly opens for the re- moval of duties from trust-controlled products no doubt We shall again hear the argument" that it will not do to put such things on the free list because the government needs the revenue The weak points in the plea are that the gov- eInment gets very little revenue now that will be affected by such action, and what ever may thus be lost in revenue can be made up far more advantagoously in oth- CT ways. Besides, 1t. is confessed fact that the government is now collecting a good deal more revenue than 1t needs.

Roosevelt and the Machine.

Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.
 We believe the Organization men" have good cause to be afraid of the President. He is not tolerant of bosses. He does not attach himself to precedent. He Is an original, independent, courageous man. He may make errors. many of them, but he prefers to take upon himself the re- sponsibilitv for these. We hope for much from MT. Roosevelt's eventual antagon- ism of the organization which is an- other name for the machine.

 An examination of the criminal docket for year past shows that burglary and larceny have almost ceased, and that the pistol 'toter" is having a rocky road at the hands of our grand and petit juries. There is nothing like a vigorous enforce ment of the criminal law for the sup pression of crime. When men who are disposed to commit crime realize the fact seen.

More Important Admissions.

If the government had voluntarily ad- mitted as many mistakes relative to Schley, before the enquiry, as it has been forced to admit since the enquiry began. it is likely an enquiry would not have been necessary, and 1t looks now as if more important admissions of error will have to be made before the hearing of Schley witnesses is closed.

The Presidents appointment of an anti Addicks postmaster at Wilmington Del, is soon to be followed, so the reports have it, by the selection of the same kind of Republican as Collector of the Port of that city In that case. Addicks seri- ously contemplates removing to some Western State or Territory where he may grow up with the country.
