E ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
here's nothing situate under heavens
Waaes and Prices at FaII River.

The farmers of the South may as well get ready to expect a strike on September among the Fall River workers, affecting perhaps 5,O00,0O0 spindles, possibly more. The Fall River manufacturers say they will then reduce wages l4 per cent. and the operatives say they will close every mill in Fall River if they do. There are 25,000 operatives in Fall River.
 The operatives of Fall River are well organized, and no one doubts their ability to close the mills-least of all the manufacturers. And therein can be seen the real motive and object of this strike. Print cloths are selling at 21s cents, and the manufacturers are unwilling to pay present prices for raw cotton. They simply propose to bring raw cotton down to their own notions. Six-cent cotton would pro- bably satisfy them, and they would grow fat on fve-cent cotton. The strike will go on until cotton is brought down to the price desired, when con sessions will be made and the strike be declared off. 1t is in short scheme for squeezing the Southern farmer
 The manufacturers want 31a cent' for print cloths, or else they want cheaper cotton. Ine wage question is but blind, and when prices for goods or raw cotton or both are satisfactor there will be no trouble over the rate of wages at Fall River.

Asphalt Instead of a Canal.

France is excited over the situation at or near Panama, and the Panama canal. It fears that the United States will intervene in the squabble that has arisen between Venezuela and Colon. bia, and will seize as compensation for expenses and the like the Isthmus of Panama and the canal that France has not built.
 These fears of France are wholly groundless. This country has no use for a Panama canal. Every inter. oceanic commission has demonstrated its impracticability. No question is more fully set.lea in this country than that of an interoceanic canal. No mat ter what others may do this country proposes to build canal on the Mica. ragua route, and the present trouble in South America is far from that line.

PECULIAR POSITION OF
 SOUTHERN SENATORS
BY ALBERT HALsTEAp.

Washington, August 1s.--(speciaL) )-The Evening Star has this to say of the grandfather clause" and the attitude of Senators Pettus of Alabama and McEnery of Louisiana:
 Attention has more than once been called to the attitude of Senator McEnsry toward the grandfather" suffrage clause in the Louisiana State convention. He advised against its adoption, on the the ground that 1t was unconstitutional; but when his advice was rejected he made no complaint, but announced that, if called upon, he would defend the action taken. A legislature chosen under the new law elected him to succeed himself in the Senate. and he is now a member of that body by means which he himself has characterized as unconstitutional. Senator McTlnery therefore Is opposed to Lawyer McEnery on this most important matter. One could hope to have the ques- ton of the Senator's right ot his seat raised if for no other reason than to see how these 1.-two gentlemen in one" would dispose of each other
 And now comes Senator Pettus of Alabama and puts himself in this same attitude. He was consulted about the grandfather clause when it was pro- posed at Montgomery. and he pronounced 1t unconstitutional. His colleague, MT. Morgan, joined in the opinion, and added that 1t was, moreover, opposed wholly to the spirit of American institutions. Nev-

Parliament and Congress.

Writing from Bessemer yesterday, a man asks to be informed as to what Is really meant by the proroguing of the British parliament, the press dispatches having announced that the first parliea- ment of King Edward VII had been pro- rogued
 F Literally the Kings ministers In the Kings name adjourned parliament to. a fixed date, and upon the coming of that date they will probably postpone the re- assembling until such time as the govern ment--the Kings ministers-desire 1t to come together for new work.
 The sovereign of Great Britain has the right, and repeatedly exercises it, of call ing parliament into session, of adjourning 1t. and of dssolving it-that Is. of vacat- ing every seat in the House of Commons and ordering a new election. That is a power which Hamilton and others en- deavored to give the President of the United States, in the forming of the Con- stitution, but majority of the conven- ton were jealous of the proposed chief executive, and so we have biennial cleo tions for Congress and annual sessions. The President may call Congress to- gether. but once assembled Congress is It's own master, and can make the laws without aid or interference from the President.
 The British House of Commons is elect ed for seven years, but may be dissolved at any time by the King; and in 1sse Lord Salisbury set the precedent of dissolving at the end of six years. So In point of fact six years may be accepted as the life of a parliament If allowed to run without dissolution. The present parlia- ment was elected about year ago. 1T on Saturday it had voted down proposi- ton made by. say, MT. Balfour in the name of the government, it would have been dissolved and new election or- dered

this administration very closely and very warmly. The asphalt trust and the administration are on very good terms. So in fact are all the other trusts. But the asphalt trust is partic- ularly at home al Washington, and it covets the Bermudez asphalt deposits in Venezuela.
 Let France calm herself. It is as phalt, not an incomplete canal, that the administration mas in its eye. The Wall street end of the administration and the interoceanic railroad would like to confuse the canal issue per haps, but they cannot do 1t. Asphalt and not Panama is the key to the situa- tion, and the Maehias and the Iowa are hasting to the scene in order to calm the Delligerant states and per maps to pave the way for more asphalt.

WILLIAM c. WHITENY,
The Ex-secretary Of the Navy, Is the
 Social Lion of Saratoga.

From the New Yorker
 Surely the Hon. William c. Whitney has been the lion of the past week at Saratoga. To be one of the elect at the famous Spa during the last ten days one had to be considered of the whitney coterio." After MT. Whitney had led the nomination and election of MT. Cleve- land, Democrat, to be considered in the swim, was ''one who was with Whitney at Chicago" Now to belong to the swell turf set Is to have ''been with Whitney at Saratoga Mir. Whitney has sur- rounded himself with an interesting crowd. From the silver-gilt set are Clarence Mackay, R. H. Wilson, Jack Follansbee, Tom Hitchcock, John San ford. Col. W. H. Rowe. Sidney Paget and a score of others besides number of his business friends, such as John A. Mc- Call of the New York Life. Many others of the kind will join him later. king, accompanied by his court, visiting a sum- mer resort in his domain, would scarcely enjoy greater prestige than MT. Whitney at Saratoga It is Whitney this and Whitney that; Whitney here and Whit ney there. His every movement is in- tently observed, and his most casual re- mark is quoted from end to end of piazzas. Yet this easy-going man of the world is as aproachable and democratic as when, as Secretary of the Navy, he won the love of his countrymen.
 No doubt the people of Saratoga, and i,ota aI In ha x,la Tod with gratitude for MT. Whitney, having given the place a new lease of life by rescuing the race track from the demor- alizing hands which held 1t during the past few years. And there is no doubt but that Saratoga is more like its old time self. But this reason alone would not &C., count for the universal attention MT. Whitney Is attracting. His personal. magetism is as remarkable as that pos- sessed by the late Secretary Blaine. Mir. whitney Is on his holiday and would rather discourage so great attention. I saw him in the large hall (where State conventions are held) the other night at- tending a negro minstrel show. MT. whitney had almost as much attention from the audience as the lend men" He was unconscious of 1t and laughed as heartily at the gags as boy.
 
 A Democrat of national prominence, who is a friend of Bryan. told me he was surprised at the magnetism of Mir. Whit. ney. "I have been watching him at Sara toga during the last few days" said this Democrat. ''EIe possesses more elements Just think of him starting out to win

Cotton Ties Go Up.

Last February ties were sold by job bers in Memphis at 79 cents bundle; they are now worth $1.27 bundle and they are quo,e- at $1.50. A bun dle weighs 45 pounds, and contains 90 ties 111s feet long, or enough to hold in five bales. $rhese ties are brought to the Memphis market from Pittsburg by fully laden barges in seasons of high water.
 At $1.50 a bundle each bag of cotton will be taxed on account of ties 30 cents, and no one knows as yet what the supply will be, or what the price will be. These problems depend of course upon the course of the strike in the steel trusts hoop mills. It is en- deavoring to open it's hoop mills, but 1t is plain it's openings are not very promising so far as outputs are con cerned, however efficient they may be III DicdhlnS tuS unShbohC OA lhc otithO
 But strike or no strike there is no reason why ties should not be made in the heart of the South, where ores, fuel and Aux exist in greatest abund- ance. The Commercial Club should put a special committee in charge of this subject In no other way can this district so well serve every cotton acre as by making cotton ties. It is the plain duty of the district. It is it's best opportunity also.
 As things stand now the steel trust can squeeze the cotton farmer at pleas ure. No ties can be imported and the steel trust is left free to decide what It's tax upon cotton shall be. The sit nation is but another illustration of the robber-like nature of tn, Dingley tar if, but if that tariff has come to stay, as the Republican papers say it has, the South should take advantage of its terms and go into tie making also. The South has paid tribute to the steel trust altogether too long.

ooNsUELo CHANGED SOMEWHAT.

pTUn the NeW 1ork Times,
 If the young Duchess of Marlborough comes to Newport in August which is not yet settled fact, the curiosity of num- bers of people there who have not seen her since her marriage. only four or five years ago, will know no bounds They will find that the few years that have elapsed since Consuelo Vanderbilt left Newport, a maiden of IS, to become the wife of the descendant of Marlborough and to preside over Blenheim have brought marked changes in the demean- or and appearance of the duchess. She was, when married, a tall. slim, not overgraceful girl, with sweet express sion, a delicate olive complexion and large, soft, and appealing eyes. Her man. ner was shy and retiring one. She has now the dignity of carriage and bearing of matron of twice her age. and has matured in figure and face Her expres- sion is quiet and sad one. and wheth- CT the stories that her married life has not been an entirely happy one are true or not, stranger who should see the young girl for the first time. and who might be ignorant of her identity, would probably say that she was as woman with a tragedy in her life. This very sadness of expression. however, heightens her good looks, and the Duchess of Marl- borough may be said te be, while net & rarely beautiful woman, & more than era dinary handsome young woman. z !

DISAPPOINTED IN PROF. TRlees

From the Burlington Hawkeye.
 Prof. Oscar L. Triggs of the Universi- ty of Chicago approves of Whittier. We are disappointed in Triggs Up to this fatal mistake we have worshiped him as the foremost of thinkers and pro- foundest of commentators. His state- ment that Rockefeller was greater than Shakespeare appealed to our sense of jus- tice. Shakespeare had never given the University of Chicago a cent, and, in our mind. he was poor stick. Professor Triggs' declaration that church hymns were doggerel and contained less of It, erature than dime novels sounded to us like common sense. And when he came fearlessly forward and, single handed, tore the mask from the deceptive literary characters of Longfellow and Holmes, we immediately voted him the palm among the worlds critics, and placed his banner at our masthead.
 But in the moment of our triumph Pro- lessor Triggs has failed us. He has ap- proved of Whittier; he has placed the productions of that hitherto obscure writer of meaningless jingles on a par with those superb masterpieces of Amer lean literature: "Deadwood Dick, the Scalp Eater of the Plains;" Calamity Jane, the Woman Scout of the Sierras:" Seven Buckets of Blood, or the Cham bermaid's Revenge;" and .4The 0ulch of the flowing Wilderness"
 We stagger beneath the weight of our disappointment in Triggs.
