THE PRESIDENTS ESTATE.
Mrs. Mckinley will Have About $13,ooO a Year-The Insurance
 S67. 900,

New York Sun.
 In view of the exaggerated reports of the amount of the insurance policies on President McKinley's life an authoritative one of the late Presidents friends in New York City. He said:
 Ut isn't necessary to mention my name but all of President McKinley's friends in Washington will understand who Is speaking The exact amount of President McKinley's policies is 1000, and not a penny more. Of this amount $5OO0O was carried by the New York Life Insurance Company, of which John A. Mccall Is president. The remaining $7,o0O was car ried by smaller companies. This state ment is absolutely correct in every par ticular.'
 President Mccall for many years was a warm, personal friend of President Mo- Kinley MT. Mccall was not always in political afflliation with Mir. Mckinley He was a friend of President Cleveland and Governor Hill. In 1896, however. Mir Mccall came out strong for Mckinley and he has been a Mckinley man in every fiber ever since.
 the guest of President and Mrs McKin- ley at the White House on many oeca- sions It was accertained recently that 1t was Mir. Mccall and Senator Hanna who induced President Mckinley to 1n- crease his life insurance in the last few years. The President had many expenses during his life, and he had not been able to save much. Up to 1897 his life insur- ance policies aggregated about $lz'VOO. ance policies. the pension or SoWo year which Congress will grant, and the money saved bV the President will be about S13 00O a year.

CAPTURE OF MISS STONE. Was Taken by Band of Turkish
 Brigands.

Boston, Sept 25.-Details of the recent canture of Miss Stone, the American missionary and one of her helpers py brigands in Turkey, are given in letter just received here by the American boaIu of Commissioners for foreign missions. The facts became known to one or the missionaries of the Board at Samokoo, European Turkey, to whom members of inc party with whom Miss Stone ana her assistant, Mrs. Tsilka. were traveIng when the capture was made ana Who fled on being released by the outlaws. where Miss Stone and her companion were taken, the rest of the party were detained under guard for time: Finally the robbers relieved them or tnelr Vaiud- bles and departed.
 The capture was made while Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka, the wife of an AiDanian preacher. were travelling with friends from Bansko to Djumaso. There were fifteen or eighteen in the party. The bandits confronted them in narrow val ley, surrounded them and compelled them to wade a river and ascend woooeo mountain side for about an hour. There anneared to be about forty brigands dressed like Turks. but speaking good
 The next morning Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka were missing and the outlaws after compelling the captives to give up their valuables disappeared up the mouh- tain. leaving the missionaries free:
 The authorities did not learn or the capture until nearly twenty-Lour nouIs after it had taken place. It Is thougnt that the brigands have entered Bulgaria and the army has been given special m, structions to guard the border closely ana follow up any trace Of the marauoefs which they may find.

A Southern President" !"

Macon tGa.) Telegraph.
 Under this heading, which is almost a startling one for those columns, The New York Sun says:
 "An interesting letter regarding the family of President Rooseveits mother, Martha Bulloch. reminds us that in Roosevelt the South mas representative in the White House more closely allied to it by birth than any President since John Tyler. That Mckinley. during whose administration the accident of war and his own political genius and friend ly heart caused blessed modification of sectional prejudice, should be succeeded by a half-Southerner cannot pass with out comment. --.e -fft
 Tn restoring the South to her own in the nation. History moves with a gentle but irresistible step"
 Roosevelts birth, education and his training has been Northern, of course, tral line to one of Georgias Governors, the fact that two of his uncles were distinguished officers in the Confederate service-a fact which he said few ago he was proud of-will undoubtedly hold his friendship for the South should the occasion arise to put him to the test. We have no doubt of that fact. But there is no reason for speaking longer of the South as a part of the Union half in, half out, half rebellious, or under any sort of ban or suspicion. Notwith- standing the late unpleasantness' from '61 to '65 the South has always stood for the best sentiments which cluster about the theory of government of this great republic. The Confectionery itself was patterned after the best models of thought on this line.
 President Arthur, be it said to his cred 1t was the first man in the White House after the war to ignore the alleged Southern question: He did not see any. His was the first message to Congress which failed to devote space to its con sideration. Then followed pretty soon Cleveland. who gave full recognition to this section as an integral part of the unicn. His appointments, his action on all occasions showed no sectional feeling; It was he who said that time would come when the South would stand as the great bulwark against innovations upon our institutions. Has that time not come?
 After Cleveland came Mckinley. who, for Republican President, made dis tinct forward movement to a final res toration of all good feeling.
 Now. in the Providence of crowding events comes the half Southerner to the White House. Why not a whole Southerner after a little while?

CRoCODITE TEARS.

One of the enemies of the new Const- tuition who went out of office some months ago, in a letter to a gentleman in West Alabama, says:
 q object mainly to the suffrage plank or clause because it most unmistakably, in a short while, places the negro in the ascendancy in most of the black belt counties. If the law under the new Con- atitution is observed there can be no doubt of this and if it is not observed had rather adhere to the old policy of 'tcounting out than adopt a new system of swindling.'
 While the Convention was in session some of the men who are now in oppo- sition to its splendid work were very solicitious about the way in which the black belt was figuring. They charged that it was a black belt body and that 1t was doing everything the black belt wanted done, etc. Now the tune is changed according to localities. The sys- tenn of representation is attacked when an audience of men in the white counties is reached, although the system is just the same under the new Constitution as it is in the old. When it is sought to create dissatisfaction in the counties where the negroes are in the majority the insidious sluff above quoted is used The black belt people are not going to be caught with any such chaff. They khow that under the new Constitution every white man can register before January 1st, 1903, and that will give them a ma jority for years to come if not for ever After that time it Is an insult to young white men to say that they will not ev- cry one of them be able to qualify as voters. The black belt people are tired oi the counting out and want to be done with it for once and all. There will be no occasion for it under the new Consti- tuition even if the opponents of it want to continue the same old business and in the same old way. These crocodile tears over the fate of the black belt are pretty we'll understood and the people who are shedding them will be taken at their proper measure before the campaign ends

THEY sHouID FIRE SKATER


 The statement made by President shaf- Aw relative to the failure of the strike contains two significant admissions; one that the strike did not have the neces- sary public approval, and the other that various other labor organizations refused to join in It. The strikers did not re- ceive encouragement from the public be- cause there was no justification for the strike. and for the same reason other organizations refused to go out or to contribute money to those who were out.
 It has been shown time and again since the strike was ordered that there was no excuse or justification for 1t. It was not . question of wages or hours of work, and the laboring men in different sec tons failed to see that there was any principle involved which would either re- auire them to go out or justify such a course. It was this lack of confidence which produced want of unanimity and
 rendered it impossible for the strike to succeed.
 The plain, unvarnished truth of the matter is that the strike was due more to the arrogance and intolerance of Presi. dent Shaffer than to any other cause or all other causes. If the dispute had been over wages or hours of work thu l unions throughout the country might | have felt that a principle was at stalk and that all were interested in upholdin, 1t. but there was no such cause given The Amalgamatcd Association precipl | tated a strike without tenable ground ! to stand on and other associations re fused to join in such suicidal move ' ment. That Is about all thore is to il
 but millions of dollars in wages hav
 been lost and the working men are mucl
 worse off than when they went out. g. | much for shaffer

UNREST IN SAMOA.
Inhabitants Anxious to Know Ineir
 Real Status.

San Francisco. Sept a5.-A letter re ceiyed today from Tutuilla, samoa, caiis attention to the discomfort among the natives over the manner in which tne United states governs the island under it's protection.
 The letter says: ,.t.,..
 ."The opinion here Is that the authoritles at Washington must either Urea, th,s ths place simply as a protectorate or tne limited States, allowing the people tne right to govern themselves under Una, urotection; or they must lay down settled regulations for the government or tne islands and make ample financial pro vision for carrying out those reguIations
 SThe inhabitants want to know tnelr real status concerning the United states, Nominally the islands belong 10 the limited States, but the States do notnlns and natives and whites live in auanoa. tyrn for fear of getting into trouble.
 "There has been delay in the paymen' for lands taken by the United states TOT Government purposes and also for arms and ammunition turned in by the natives The Samoans contrast the alleged neg, feet with the liberality of the Germans a' Ania' who are opening. up the country building roads and making other puohe improvements"

The welfare of the island depends absolutely dustries. and he urges earnestly that the American Government shall make moder. ate tariff reductions upon these two great Cuban staple products. Reasonable re- auctions of the import duties In our ports would not work any injustice to this country and would undoubtedly heir greatly to insure tho prosperity of Cuba and the success of the Cuban republic in its early struggles.

What Would They offerP

Mobile Herald
 Suppose the triumvIrate that are lead ing the forces opposed to ratification succeed in defeating the new Constitu- tion. what do they propose to give us in it's place? They cannot hope to call an other Convention. and it is idle to talk about adopting a suffrage amendment to the present Constitution. If the new Constitution is defeated suffrage reform in Alabama will become dead issue for a long time to come. The allies of the triumvirate, the Populists and Repuo- licans, will vote against any plan or sur frage reform. and the Democrats will De ble to get them together on the question. The only chance for suffrage reform and purillcation of the ballot box in Alaha- ma is ratification of the new Constitu- ton.

HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

We do not exactly understand The Birmingham Ledger's intimation that Chairman Underwood ought to consult President Roosevelt before going on with the campaign. What has the President t0 do with 1t? We hardly think he is a man who would interfere in a contest of this nature, in the first place, and we can see no reason why he should do SO. It is not a matter about which he is call ed to act, or even to express an opinion, but, admitting that he should see proper to take sides what difference could or would that make in the conduct of the campaign? As we view it this is a ques- ton which concerns Alabamians alone and interference by the President or any other outsider would be rank i'm pertinence
 The fight for the ratification of the new Constitution should be a campaign of cd ucation. Copies of the instrument will be distributed throughout the State, and with them will go the address of the com mittee. which is 8 lucid as well as an ex- haustive presentation of the many ad- vantages which the new has over the old. | The newspapers of the State, with a few exceptions, will do their part towards keeping before the people the duty which the white men of Alabama owe to them. selves and their race. and will keep aT the fight till the ballots are cast.
 All this is good and proper. but goot speakers in every doubtful county will be a wonderful aid in the good work There are some points of advantage ir the Constitution which many will not fully understand by reading. and there is where good speeches will have { fine effect. 1t is no reflection on the in. telligence of ordinary men to say tha they are not fitted to fully understand a legal document, but they can understand it when 1t is explained by competent speakers. and such speakers should b5 sent wherever needed. The position of the President of the United States should not be allowed to interfere with or change the plan of campaign.

 On seven occasions Queen Victoria was attacked by persons bent on killing her. such attempts treason. punishable with death. Queen Victoria's assailants, at her request, were declared crazy and sent to asylums for life. Some of them are still in madhouses. The British are very careful about keeping the criminal insane where they can do no mischief. Their history is that a man who Is afflicted with homicidal mania ought not to Inc allowed to go at large, free to take life | when the impulse seizes him. The con. sequence is that an accused person whC | pleads insanity in extenuation of crime | in Great Britain Is liable to get a sever, sentence if he is adjudged insane II, may escape the gallows but he Is almos sure to spend his life in an asylum fol i the criminal insane.
