pretation of the equality of man as tba son of God. The day is coming when the greatness of man will not be gauged bv the inherited titles of royalty, nor bv the millions of money however gotten but by what he Is in moral purpose and earnest endeavor. Then crowns of honor will rest on the heads of the honest, toll ing fathers and mothers, the millions tn- known to earthly fame, but who have nobly done their work"
 At Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, Thirtieth and Dearborn streets, the Rev. A. L. Murray said:
 While some of the Southern press is criticising the act of the chief magistrate of our country, we see in 1t Christian evidence of coming peace between the races and a recognition of the father hood of God and the brotherhood of man. The act itself only portrays to the world the inward principles of pure and up- right man. and it has without doubt welded to him the better class of white people of this country and brought him the undying support forever of the negro race. Lynching and mob violence will soon be ecllpsed in the principle of the brotherhood of man"
 At Quinn Chapel, Twenty-fourth street and Wabash avenue, the Rev. A. J. Carey said:
 Booker T. Washington nor any other intelligent negro of this country cares one iota about so-called social equality We believe the President invited MT. Washington to his table not as a negro but as an American citizen, because he desired to consult on matters of national Importance
 "We hail this action of the President as an omen. of the coming of that day when we shall neither be favored nor hindered because of the color of our skin. All that the negroes of this country ask is simply a mans chance, and beseech you that we so deport and conduct ourselves that fair minded men. who are willing to for get the color of mans skin and measure him by his character and fitness, will find in us no cause for complaint"
 John Alexander Dowie also took stand in defense of the President in his dis course yesterday. "The President has the right to entertain whom he pleases," said he "and l indorse the stand he has taken. Prejudice against the negro race has got to go, and I hope our new Presi- dent not only will be President of the white race, but of the black as we'll"

Gold Shipments.

Bradstreet's explains that when de. mand sterling is quoted at about 4.s7A gold would be sent abroad while a quotation of about 4.841s would lead to the importation of gold from Europe to New York. At pres ent gold can be neither exported nor imported at profit, because bankers demand sterling stands at about 4.S5.
 When we are selling to Europe much more goods than we buy in that quar- ter of the world bills on Europe be- come unduly plentiful in New York, and there is pressure to sell them. This depresses the quotation for de- mand sterling. and at length point is reached when exchange on London. Paris or Berlin can be bought on terms that admit of the shipping of gold against them at perhaps a profit.
 But if exports fall away, and inn ports are large, it sometimes becomes profitable to buy gold here and send it abroad instead of paying the price demanded for demand drafts. The gold-shipping point is the very reverse of the gold-import point, in other words. The one means a scarcity of bills on Europe, and the other an ex- cess of them, and both conditions grow out of international trade exchanges.

Tennessee Anain Objects.

The esteemed Nashville Banner, which is much more Republican than Democratic in It's political tendencies and which recently received severe | drubbing in municipal election, again | attacks the friends of the New con stitution, declaring that they are po- litieal tricksters, and that Chairman Underwood has no right to speak for the Democratic party, being young man who was not long ago a beardless I youth in Bowling Green, Ky. The esteemed Banner admits that Mir. Un- derwood is member of an old and honored family, and that his Con- gressional service has been creditable, but 1t insists that he has no right to speak for the Democratic party of the State.
 The linotype artists have not here tofore permitted The Age-Herald to explain MT. Underwood's position, but we will try once more to make plain co the Banner MT. Underwood's au- thority within the party. The last I Democratic State Convention ap- | pointed g Democratic State Executive Committee. When the New oonstitu- tion had been submitted to the people for ratification or rejection by con vention almost solidly Democratic, the Democratic State Executive Commit tee appointed Democratic State cam paign committee to conduct a ratifica- tion campaign. Mir. Underwood was unanimously chosen chairman of that oampaign committee. Will the es- teemed Banner tell an expectant world why ratification is not under such cir cumstances Democracy in all respects of regularity and primacyf Every step taken in framing the New consti- tuition was taken under the auspices of the Democratic party of the State. Every line of it was written by Dem ocrat. It is Democratic through and through, and MT. Underwood is the l representative in the pending cam paign of the Democracy of the State because he speaks for the Democratic State Executive Committee, which In turn speaks for the last Democratic State Convention, which stood for and was chosen by the Democrats of Ala bama.
 Because the Democrats of Alabama are in all liberality permitting all man. ner of irregularity does not in the least lessen MT. Underwood's author. ity as the exponent of the Democratic party of the State. If this be not plain to the Banner published near the Ken lucky line, then words fail us. We trust our esteemed contemporary will not become over strenuous in this Ala bama campaign. It has had of late plenty of trouble at home, and 1t may just as we'll devote its energies to nome affairs, letting Alabama take care of her own.

Cotton Failure a Success.

Cotton Is the only crop grown in the world failure of which means it's sue cess" said former State Senator Amos Horton of Greene County. who Is one of the largest planters of cotton in Ala bama and one of the most successful.
 That a successful cotton crop Is a cot ton crop that Is failure is a paradox known to cotton planters to be a fact: for it Is only by failure that we get good prices. I am willing for planters to plant all the cotton they wish, but am always desirous of seeing a general failure-cer- tainly not a partial one-throughout the us the satisfactory prices last year, when we got s45 to $50 a bale. This year a greater crop brought down the price to about $40 a bale, and within the past few days to only about s37.5o. This present tumble in prices is clearly a serious mat ter for the south. On ten million bale crop the decrease in price which has just taken place would mean a loss to the south of s25.0Oo,oOO!
 Last year colt on planters in the Black Belt had to buy 70 per cent of their corn supply. This year we shall have to buy only 40 per cent of our corn, but we were better able to buy 70 per cent last year, prices of cotton and corn alike consid- cred. than we shall be this year to buy 40 per cent, the prices of both corn and cot ton considered.
 ''As for the cotton crop now being har- vested. it is considerably better in west Alabama than we believed it would be. The yield Is heavier than we had antici- patedr

MRS. HANNA's PRoToeE.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 New York, October 22.-A paris cable gram to the world says: United States Senator Hanna's wife lately visited Mme. Marchesi, the noted teacher of singing, to ascertain what progress Is being made by two of the latter's pupils, American girls whom Mrs. Hanna has supported for the last two years, while they have been studying music. Mrs. Hanna also presented another promising singer, a contralto, from Washington, the finest type of octoroon, aged 20 named Lydia Lelland.
 Lydia became engaged on the voyage from America to an Englishman of pre- possessing manners, but after investiga- tion Mrs. Hanna convinced her beautiful colored protege that the fellow was worthless. There was quite little trag- edy, for Lydia's impulsive love died hard But finally, when Mrs. Hanna was on the point of sailing back if Lydia re- malned obdurate, the girl announced that the worst was over. and she would hence forth devote herself solely to art
 Mme Marschesi says the octoroon's voice is a perfect wonder" Mrs. Hanna is unostentatious about these benevo- fences and will never talk about them.

SOUTH IS FOOLISH.
From the Boston Post (Dem.).

From the Boston Post (Dem.).
 President Roosevelt did a courteous thing in a simple way when he had Dr. Booker T. Washington to dinner at the White House, and some foolish people in Memphis and elsewhere denounce him for doing 1t. Dr. Westinghouse distin- guished citizen who hold his degree from This Is the ground of offense. The Presi- dent of the United States is criticised for not recognizing discrimination of color between citizens of the United States
 It is difficult to believe that there is anything in this furry. The time is past when such considerations can have weight with sensible men or when they can have influence upon popular opinion. Booker T. Washington sat at the table of Har- yard University an honored guest, at the last commencement. He has been re- ceived everywhere without a thought as to the color of his skin simply on the merits of his attainments, his character and his work performed Is the Presi- dent bound by considerations which the country does not recognize7
 We do not take this to be a sectional matter, nor do we believe that sensible men at the South hold the views that some sensational journals express. The country has gone past that point long ago. MT, Roosevelt has done just right, and the people approve 1t.
