very much to a festivity, let us

A Negro Exodus Scarecrow.
Vicksburg Herald.

tlcksDurg Herald.
 The following is taken from a comment Congressional representation. by The New Orleans Picayune:
 "A few days ago prominent Northern negro journalist and advocate for the improvement of his race said, in a public speech in this city. that he was astonish- ed to see the negroes so prosperous, so we'll treated, and so fully protected in every effort for their proper advancement. This Is the condition that has constantly prevailed but if the Northern sectional ists shall persist In oppressive measures on such a state of affairs that the ne- groes will engage in a general exodus to that part of the Union whose people set themselves up as the peculiar and de- voted champions of negro advancement"
 The Herald never questions the sheer ity of an esteemed contemporarys state- ments, except to save 1t from the graver imputation of "tommyrot." Now unless we would insult It's intelligence we must assume that The Picayune meant this as a mere boo to the Northern sectional ists"-that it knows its talk of a negro exodus" on any such provocation. is the vcriest hot air. little story will illus trste how far The Picayune and the sec tional agitators are lfrom touching the real state Of affairs" We met a couple of planters on the street corner a few days ago. and after the usual salutations asked them what they thought of the Crumpacker resolution. Damn Crump- ler," one of them replied. and his reso- run all the nigger loafers out of your old town. We are perishing to get our cot ton crop picked-that's whats troubling us."

FRIDAY, DDcEMBBR IS, 1901,
A VALUABLE ALABAMA BOOK.

"sketches of Alabama History" by Joel Campbell DuBose, is a recent contribu- tion to the literature of the State, for a copy of which The Advertiser Is indebted to the author. While it will be found both interesting and instructive to grown up people, it Is especially valuable as an instructive book of reference to the youth of Alabama of both sexes, to whom it Is dedicated by the author.
 Beginning with the journey of DeSoto the book gives in brief detail a history of the State, from the earliest records to the present day. It gives sketches of McGillivray, Weatherford. Pushmataha, Dale, Coffee, Gaines, King, Yancey, Hil- Hard, Wheeler, Semmes. Emma Sansom and others who have made Alabama his- tory, with notable incidents of their lives. It also gives us many interesting sketches of notable events connected with Alabama as a Territory and a State, and the prominent part taken by those who figured in those events. Not the least in- teresting part is the chapters devoted to Alabama writers who have contributed to the literature of the country. It con- cludes with very useful and convenient chronological index of events connected with Alabama history, and a list of all the Governors of the State and Terri tory.
 The little book is very handsomely printed and bound by Eldridge & Brother, Philadelphia, and forms valuable ad- dition to our State literature.

The Isthmus Canal.

New York World.
 Whether the canal treaty passes quick ly or after long debate, or fails. we shall still he far from d canal, with many obstacles between. The disappearance of the first-the British or Clayton-Bulwer -osbtacle, is revealing the others. There is the question: Panama or Nicaragua And when Panama has so many superi- critics in the matter of communication with the west coast of South America our main commercial object in building canal, that question cannot be dis posed of easily. Then there is the pow erful Pacific railroads lobby. Then there is the Western irrigation project, the easy redemption of rich land for mil lions of settlers at a cost about equal to the cost of the canal. Then there is a large opposing element. led by such men as Andrew Carnegie. which does not wish the canal built, on the ground that 1t is a piece of sentimental folly, of no commercial value. foredoomed to be dead loss and expense. Altogether the speedy realization of the centuries old dream in the wedding of the oceans can hardly be called a foregone conclu- sion.

Often we have been indebted to our Montgomery contemporary for a good time; now we are indebted to it for good turn. How beautiful upon the mountain tops, are the feet of a friend you know that you are being attacked!
 To be known through The Montgomery Advertiser, we have always heard is the best way to be known through Alabama. We are delighted to have the information that The Landmark Is known through Alabama in that way: but We are com pelled by The Birmingham (see that humpO to assert that there is another important channel by means of which this paper Is known in Alabama. We refer to the mails. '> Some of the most intelligent and honorable citizens of the State on which The Birmingham - has alighted will be angered if they see what that young upstart has said.

therefore, has nothing to offer us in ex- change for reduction of duties on British products. Thus on the handmaiden prh- cipie we would iiberally reduce our duties on the products of countries which have been comparatively poor customers or ours and which have treated us the worst in their tariff legislation and make no reduction at all on the products or the country which has treated us Tar better than any other country in the matter of trade and which has taken half of all our exports.
 If we descend to such unspeakable meanness we may expect John Bull to strike back unless he is both very much better tempered and very much more sensible than we will prove ourselves to be if we adopt the handmaiden policy.

Interesting Notes About Some of

Reciprocity on It's Deathbed.

New York World.
 As Senator Cullom is chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, he is custodian of the reciprocity treaties. And when he pulls long face and says. Ut begins to look as if the treaties would not be ratified" mourning may be safely ordered. His diagnosis is convincing the California Senators are afraid of Jamaica competition, the Connecticut Senators of French competition the Maine Senators of Canadian lumber and fish,etc. With a knife aimed for each vital spot in each treaty, reciprocity is as good as dead.
 So long as the Senate represents 'in- terests" in tariffs. will not a just and equitable and trade-expanding system of tariff taxation be impossible? Is it not hopeless to present considerations of gen eral welfare and broader policies to the men who are benefting by the abuses which they also have the power to main tain?
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-12-13
A STRONG MAN.

We note that Henry Loomis Nelson, the ! well-known Washington correspondent of | The Boston Herald, has somewhat sur prised the politicians by declaring that
 Richard Olney Is the most desirable man
 the Democrats can find for the Presiden- | tial nomination.
 And yet there need not be much sur- prise over this suggestion. True, the | propriety of taking a candidate from a
 State which has never given its electoral | vote to a Democrat may be doubted, but that Is not an insuperable objection. It is also true that Mir. Olney has been al- most forgotten in connection with na- tional politics. When the party retired from the kind of Democracy that he be- lieved in he practically retired from the party. though we believe he supported Mir. Bryan in 1900.
 But MT. Olney has not been forgotten by those who remember the real brainy men of the not very remote past. When Mir. Cleveland made him Attorney Gen. eral in 1893 the Massachusetts man had hardly been heard of outside of his own State, and when he was made Secretary of State in 1895 it was something of a surprise, yet the government has had few better officials in either position. At home he was known as a good lawyer and a strong man, keen, talented and honest. but he had taken such little part in politics. especially in national politics, that the country at large didn't know his standing or his worth.
 Aside from his eminent fitness for the office there is one strong point in favor of his availability. He has not been prominently mixed up in the squabbles and experiments which have so nearly reduced the Democratic Party to a con- dition of marcidity. Believing in the Democracy of the fathers. and not being subject to changing his politics, he re- fused to follow the experiment of 1896. Being, also, a firm believer in the will of the majority he did not see proper to make war on the action of the party when it nominated Mir. Bryan. And, with a firm conviction that the Demo- cratic party would eventually recover it's reason he has bided his time and re- mained quiet. For all that he is a sound Democrat and sound man, and the party might do much worse than nomi- nate him in 1904. He might do for the country what Josiah Quincy has done for his State and unite the Democrats on the earlier principles of the party.

Report Tariff on Men.

At least one American woman enter tains. original ideas concerning the man. ner in which the surplus female popu- lation should be treated. Writing to the Directory newspaper at Torquay-a town in which females outnumber males in total population of 8. 900 by 1000 she remarks that if matters continue at this rate men will become scarcer and scarcer, and that soon the specimen "Englishman' will be so rare that the women folk of the next, and presumably final, generation, will flock to the mu- senms and zoos to see him, stuffed or alive, The steo to take is that which rules all laws of supply and demand, by preserving the men who supply the de mand. You preserve your game by strict laws: preserve your men by keeping them at home. If 1 were the Board of Asri- cuture-which I gather Is the depart ment that regulates the comings in and gOings out of stock-I should prohibit the embarkatiOn ot a gentleman under the penalty of fine. while women imported should pay duty"
