Alabama Past and Present.

So speaks an Alabamian, who reads the Hobbies" and who came upon tran script from the first issue of the great New York Times. bearing date September IS, 1851, and which appeared here the other day:
 ."The famine of 1851, reported by mall (stage coach and coasting steamer), from Piclsens county. Alabama, of course was a canard
 April 15, 1S49 the growing crops were very advanced, corn knee high and cotton chopped out. Frost, as never known be- fore or since so late. killed all. The plantations were given over to corn, largely that year, because after the frost 1t was too late to replant cotton to advan- tage. The corn crop of 1850. which kept off the famine of 1851 in central countries was fine. Thus famine stood afar off from the rich people of Pickens, and the duck drawn fin, with the first breath of the New York Times, from Alabama proved decoy only.
 By the way. the census of 1900 shows that the per capita wealth of Alabama now, fifty years after the Pickens county famine is $1fi The census taken the year before the famine in 1850, shows that for every soul In Alabama, white and black, free and bond and mixed. there was s17O assessed values. not Including property in slaves but excluding that property from the estimate. The federal authority shows that between the time Of our fathers and our own there Is q great gulf fixed. to-wit. the High School and University History.

 December 2 next President and Mrs. Roosevelt will celebrate the fifteenth an- niversary of their wedding few weeks ago they planned to celebrate the occa- sion by reception to their friends and relatives in the Storer mansion. The President adheres to ancient customs, and each family anniversary is marked with appropriate ceremonies. All these plans have been cancelled by the national calamity, and 1t Is likely that this anni- versary will be marked only in the fam fly circle.
 It is not generally known that the Pres- ident and Mrs. Roosevelt were married in London at St. Georges Church, Hanover Square, by Canon Cammadge. a cousin of Mrs. Roosevelt. President Roosevelt and his wife were companions in their child hood. The Presidents elder sister, now Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New York. and Edith Carow, the first lady of the land,

snobs and MIIllonaIres.

"It looks as if we Americans were de- generating into a nation of snobs whose dearest pastime is licking the boots of pork-butchering millionaires and politi- clans in power" said George winthrop of New York at the Metropolitan.
 ''Take, for example, press dispatch fIcm Washington published today and giving an account of President Roose- velts attendance at divine service in an obscure church in Washington. Read this and then go take something to settle your stomach:
 "'The Presiednt and his children ar rived at exactly Il o'clock. after the building had filled, having walked from the White House. Without ceremony or ostentation he took his seat.
 "1n the name of all the gods at once how could the President have taken his seat in church with ceremony or ostenta- tionr I never saw a more sickening evi- dence of snobbery towards even @ soap- boiling millionaire than that
 we are further informed by the faith full chronicler of Washington small beer that. At the close of the services the con- gregation remained standing until the President left the building Of course they did, if they had good manners. It was incumbent upon every gen,iewoman and gentleman there to remain standing until the President of the United States had passed out. Any other action would have been in-mannered, rude.
 But the contemptable phrase. without ceremony or ostentation, which is of a piece with miles and miles of such rot of snobbery in print is simply disgusting,

New York Letter in Chicago Record
 Herald
 Tammany's campaign against the fusion ticket will be managed without regard to cost. The campaign fund will be large enough to meet any demands that may be made upon it. and no plan which may influence voters to support the present administration at the polls will be re- Jected because 1t is expensive.
 It Is expected that Tammany will have at least $1o00.OO0 at its disposal. Richard Croker will take personal charge of the campaign. and he is planning to make 1t the most active and vigorous ever waged by Tammany Hall. He Is already receiv- ing and considering suggestions for im- pressing the voters. and several novel de- vices will be employed.

The Name John and Month of March

"Did you ever pause to reflect that John attaches itself for a name to great men, beginning with John the Baptist, and how the month of March has han died great events. from the experience of Caesar in the Senate down to the inaugu- ration of Presidents who are assassi- mated?
 Here Is some March record: On March 4, 1850. John C. Calhoun delivered his last speech in the Senate or rather he was propped up in his chair on the floor while Senator Mason read from his manuscript his last speech; on March ', three days later, Daniel Webster delivered in the Senate. on the same subject, his last speech of immortal fame he ever made; on March 3O twenty-three days later, William H. Seward replied fin the Senate to both Calhoun and Webster, using then, for the first time, his own phrase of such tragic moment: There Is a high CT law than the constitution That phrase comprehended the whole reply to Calhoun and Webster. Calhoun had long expected and awaited that pronounce mennt; look upon the face the man, in those years, pictured before you and be- hold the deep lines of despair within the deeper lines of defiance! Webster knew we'll that his speech of March would unseat him and put Charles Sumner in his place. Yet he spoke. and if you will go to the High School Library you will find Lodges well-thumbed Life of Web ster' upbraiding the mighty man of valor most unmercifuily for telling the truth that day. even as Lodge confesses the truth to have beep!''

Southern Congress.


 ''1 note from your same citation the following:
 "'Another Alabama note fin the same column of the old Times is this
 "'The Southern Congress proposed to be held In Montgomery, Ala, is atract- ing some attention. Two delegates from each Congressional district in South Caro- lima are to be chosen on the second Mon- day in October. The Charleston Mercury considers that the meeting of the con gross Is uncertain
 '"what was this congress called for? Was it ever held? It was political, Of course, but in what particular relation"
 ''Now as to this Southern Congress. When Stewards open and fagitious an- nouncement of the final overthrow of law and order in the Federal government reached Mississippi. county meeting there proposed a convention of the South- ern States to see what action of self protection was necessary. Thus the Nashville convention of June 8, 1850. assembled.
 "The Nashville convention did nothing. The Legislature of South Carolina in De- cember, 1850. proposed to the Southern States to meet in Congress at Montgom- cry. Ala, and prepared to have delegates of It's own selected.
 "The Congress did not meet President Taylor. who had openly and strangely and ignorantly opposed the maintenance of the law but virtually supported Sew ards resolution, died suddenly. Vice. President Fillmore of New York suc- ceeded and to the infinite surprise and disgust of the Seward party that had elected him, reversed the Virginia born dead Presidents policy. So the South was pacified and the Southern Congress delayed for ten years.
 "The policies of Fillmore and Mckinley were cast in the same mould. Fillmore was the handsomer man and of the more penetrating intellect. There are times when no strong man can be President or worthily fulfill the duties of the office if seated in it. Grant and Roosevelt are about as near the level of the office in it's possibilities as we shall be able to place In 1t for some time to come.
