California Fruits In Europe

The latest American invasion of
Europe is the carrying of fresh Cali
fornia fruits to London and Paris in
the face of the competition of the
Spanish and Italian fruit growers. A

sand miles, in a more appetizing con-
dition than ours" and adds that her

Matches Contraband in France.

Tourists in Europe this year have
been admonished to remember that
matches are government monopoly in
France and are liable to be taxed at
the rate of franc per match if an at
tempt to smuggle them in is discover
ed, writes Paris correspondent. These
government monopolies lead sometimes
to the exercise of an almost childish
tyranny. In Italy. for instance. where

ly at an exorbitant price, it is pun

nal to extract It from the sea water.

Useful. Beautiful and Valuable.

The chief attraction at the inter-
state fair held at Spokane last month
was the magnificent display of pol
ished marble and onyx from the
uuarries in Stevens county, Wash.
There were five different districts
represented. These exhibits speak
volumes for the possibilities of Wash
ington as producer of the finest
marble and onyx known. The extent
of the deposits is very large, and
sufficient in themselves to supply a
considerable portion of the large de-
mand for material of this kind.

Where They Do Things.

During 1900 several young men
from Eastern states and some from
the fatherland, settled upon land in
Lincoln and Adams counties, Wash.
Some had only a few cents left after
paying the government filing fee,

neighbors, and by working for others,
managed to get their land all broke
and sown to wheat last fall, and on
these same claims the threshers are

maximum of notes to which they are entitled. This. 1t is claimed, shows that the new law does not furnish a very great amount of currency elas- ticity, although it undoubtedly distrib- utes 1t rather better, and perhaps opens the way to more circulation when pinch in money comes.
 But after all Professor Dunbar shows that the wants of the small town of weak credit are best served by the microscopic. State bank, or bet ter still by the private bank, which can be conducted In accordance with local wants with no inspector in sight. The currency of the small national banks recently established does not stay In the localities of the banks, but Is soon carted away to New York to swell the volume available for gambling in its stocks and other ex- changes.
 These small banks do we'll enough in prosperous times like the present. but there may be another story to tell when hard times come. The small national bank will then feel the gen. eral condition, and it may not always be strong enough to withstand adverse conditions.
 The people of the interior, and par tlcularly of the small towns, will never have banks suited to their needs until the 10 per cent tax on State bank cir culation Is repealed. When that is done Alabama can have banks that will lend money on any good security, and she will then have a currency that will stay at home. The national bank ring is strong In the Republican party, and the 10 per cent tax cannot be repealed while that party remains in power.

Pan-American Conaress.

The Pan-Ameriean congress. now fully organized in the City of Mexico, has fairly begun two months ses- sion devoted to the health. peace and progress of all the Americas. And the chief task in furtherance of these great objects is plainly a closer alli- aiIee, at least commercially, among the various parts of these Americas. More railroads are needed, more steamships, and better trade regula- tions and tariffs.
 All the world is hunting not so much for territory as for trade. Trade is better than more sovereignty, as many a country knows. There is more trade in single American State than in all tLe German possessions. If the Americas can be induced to pull to- gether and to help each other the greater share of American trade need not go to the enriching of Europe, but it can go to the enriching of America, and what helps one part of Pan America can be made to help all other parts of it.
 Latin America is getting rid of it's political revolutions, and induced by the success of the United States at Havana, it will doubtless endeavor to drive out the levers and the malaria that have long afflicted it. Once rem dered healthful as we'll as peaceful, capital will come in, and the develop ment of tho vast region will be rap idly carried forward. The consolida- ton of Pan-America is therefore linked with political reform and advanced sanitation. The task Is broad one, but not necessarily difficult one, for all represented at the congress in the City of Mexico are Americans. with American ambitions and American plans. Europe is as much outside those ambitions and plans as Asia or Occanica is

All White Men Can Vote.

Over in Anniston twenty-one law yers have signed card in which they say:
 Under the provisions of the new consti- tuition, every white man in Alabama, not convicted of crime. can and we believe will be permitted to register, and in the event any white man or men, not convict ed of crime. should be denied registration, we hereby agree to represent such person or persons on any appeal he or they may take to the Circuit or City Court, or to the Supreme Court, without charge of any kind. A trial by jury is guaranteed to every applicant for registration with out security for costs, who may be de- nied registration and who desires to ap- peal.
 This punctures the charge that white men will be excluded from reg istration under the New constitution. No white men have been shut out in Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina or North Carolina, States that have similar suffrage provisions, and none will be In this State. Demagogical misrepresentations cannot further go.
 The registrars will be white men, and they will register their white neighbors who are not outright hoboes. Practically and plainly speaking, they will register all white men, and white supremacy will be fully established. This is what the New constitution means. It was written for the pur- pose of establishing white supremacy in every county of the State. It will do this even in Lowndes County. De- serving negroes will also be registered, ut the registration of next year--the permanent registration of the State will be largely composed of whites.
 Misrepresentation upon this point is simply demagogical. All white per sons will be registered, upon their ap- pearance at places of registration. No evidence will be required. Each one's application at a place of registration will suffice. q desire to be registered" is all the speech or evidence that will be required in any county of the State. Misrepresentation as to this is wicked ly misleading. It is preposterous, and no man of any degree of intelligence should be misled by it. It simply shows to what extremities the anti ratiflcationists have been driven.
 Do not be deceived by such talk. All white men will be registered, and white supremacy in the State will be forever established by an overwhelm- ing vote on the day of ballots now fast approaching.

CITY REcovERs FRANCHISE,

 Favor of Chattanocqa.

Chattanooga, Tenn, October 25.-Infor- nation has been received from Knoxville to the effect that the Supreme Court has handed down a decision sustaining Chan cellor Bearen in the celebrated Wilcox injunction case appealed from this coun- ty. Last year the City Council, it is al- legged in the bill, through political job bery and questionable methods, passed in the same night at three readings, with out any previous notice, a franchise granting to T. S. Wilcox and associates a franchise for an underground telephone system and all underground rights for conduits. water pipes, gas and electric and other underground rights. About thirty of the leading taxpayers of the city immediately filed a bill for an injunction and to declare the ordinance void. Chan cellor Bearden. who was sitting on &C., count of the incompetency of Chancellor Mcconnell, decided for the taxpayers. and the Supreme Court has upheld his de- cision.

 :, Well, that sort of thing will not ba pleasant reading to the class some of our Republican friends have been cuitivatinr in the South. They may have lost some of their attachment to the Democratic party, but they have lost none of their respect for their own race"
 What has been the effect of the ap pointment of Democrats to office in the South prior to the Booker Washington dinner?"
 T think it was having to a certain ex- tent" replied the Senator, the effect in- tended, though the importance of it has been largely exaggerated. In the appoint ment of ex-Governor Jones of Alabama, MT. Roosevelt was simply following the path blazed out by MT. Mckinley. MT Mckinley was the first President who had the boldness and the cleverness to use the power of patronage to demoralize his ad- versary. He knew that if those who left the Democratic party in 1906 were let alone they would inevitably drift back to their old party relations. He therefore sought to make the separation perma- nent by proper distribution of the loaves l and fishes. and whenever one bolting Democrat got bite it encouraged hope in the bosoms of fifty others.
 ''I do not doubt that quite number of ex-Democratic editors and others are to- day cussing Bryan In the hope of post office or something equally as good. The McLaurin deal is an illustration of the same thing McLaurin was rantankerous in his opposition to the Philippine policy of the administration and made a ran tankerous speech against the ratification of the peace treaty. He then voted against his own speech and finally went over bodily to the Republican party on every important question. Since that time Senator McLaurin has controlled the dis tribution of patronage in the State of South Carolina, both under President Mo- Kinley and under President Roosevelt. Of course certain following can always be built up in this way. but 1t can never become formidable, and it can never en- dure."
