Astrologer Raphaers prophecies for this day, Thursday. March 2l. 1901;

 There Was No Senatorial Politics.
 "The statement sent out from Mont gomery that a slate was smashed or something to that effect, when Senator gomery that a slate was smashed, or Congressman Taylor permanent chair man of the State Democratic Convention, in so far as concerned Senator Pettus and Congressman Bankhead, is wholly erro- neous and of a nature to pain the great and venerable Senator and the distin- guished Congressman alike, said a dele> gate of the convention last night.
 Absolutely no politics was sought to be played by either Senator Pettus' friends or Congressman Bankhead. Poli- tics was most positively not thought of by either side, for I know absolutely of my own knowledge that Congressman Bankhead would not for the United States bof ha placed in the attitude of antagonizing the beloved Senator Pettus. and the Senator and his friends are now aware of the Congressmans feelings and purposes in that particular.
 Congressman Bankhead was not a candidate for permanent chairman. and would not have accepted in any circum- stances the chairmanship. It was agreed that he was the most suitable man for the honor, an agreement shared by Sena- tor Pettus' friends on the State Executive Committee, the Hon, Robert J. Lowe in- cluded, for MT Lowe, always wise in great emergencies, saw that there was not and could not be the shadow of Sem atorial politics in so honoring Colonel Bankhead.
 "In effect and In substance Colonel Bankhead was agreed upon as the proper man for the permanent chairmanship, an honor which he held with great distinc- tion four years ago. but he declared that he could not accept 1t; that whilst there was no politics in 1t, still the uncharitable might attempt to say that he had been willing to take advantage of great, and to the people a sacred, occasion to re- ceive personal honors. So Colonel Bank head begged that Congressman Taylor be made permanent chairman, and behind this act of his is one of the most inter- esting stories in Alabama politics, the story of one leaders friendly and unsel- fish interest in another.
 ''The friends of Senator Pettus and the friends of Colonel Bankhead know that there was no politics in the proposition to make Colonel Bankhead permanent chairman and it is best that all the peo- pie understand at the outset that there was and is no antagonism between the friends of these eminent Alabamians!'

that such an enormous aggrega-
tion OF wealth manipulated by one
man implies to the material inter
ests OF this country, holding as it
will, unless checked in some man.
ner, firm grasp upon ,shipbuild-

every branch of industry depend
ent upon steel or iron manuiac-
tur@s, embracing every article
from steel pen to piece Of struc-
tural iron. from the safety pin OF
the cradle to the coffin nails OF the
grave, has at length compelled
Congress to threaten action in self
defense.
Representative Babcock, of
Visions n, a Republican member
oi the Ways and Means Commit
tee OF the House and chairman of
the Republican c, ngressional
Committee, introduced last Mon
dsv IN the House a bIl to repeal
all those sections OF the Dingley
tariff act imposing tariff duties on
steel billets. rails, iron, wire, nails.
car wheels, &c, and placing those
articles up IN the free list.
Mr. Babcock said in explaining
his bill that it was aimed at those
articles manufactured by the new
S eel Trust which has just been
organized. This, he said, was the
most colossal industrial combina-
ton that the world has ever
known. This organization was
formed to prevent competition in
trade and to regulate prices.
While Mr.. Babcock may believe
that the bill will go through if. as
he says, the Committee on Ways
and Means take it up, Congress
should see TO it that the committee
acts or is discharged from its con-
sideration, so that the House itself
may consider the bill.
Steel on the free list will be a
slight check on the power and
greed OF this dangerous combina-
ton, another outcome Of which
should be the immediate passage
of the Anti Trust bill.

An UnhoIy Alliance.

The object Of the alliance be-
tween the Washington Retail
Liquor Dealers Association and
the Anti. Saloon League in the war
on the clubs is not clear. We Can
understand why the eague should
wish the clubs closed. but we fail
to grasp the beneht such closing
would be to the saloon keepers.
These places are licensed to run
during the day and have been al
lowed to keep open after hours
and on Sunday. They have not
been confined to the strict letter Of
the law because their business was
conducted on a somewhat limited
scale, their sales being restricted
to members or persons accom-
panied by members, at least during
he forbidden hours. Thev were
places Of association for members
and their friends, not barrooms in
the ordinary meaning OF the word,
nor did they seek the ordinary bar
room trade. There was no COM
petition between the two classes
and the element OF profit was moi
considered d in many OF them farther
than the necessity Of paying ex-
PeDses.
If they were licensed at a lower
figure than the saloons there would
be justice in demanding a change
But such is not the case. Or were
their closing to divert trade to the
saloons, we might see some excuse
for this movement. Neither will
this be the case. What, then, i:

Despite the efforts OF Congress

OF it, and in view OF the large

Senator Hale, the other day, ex-
pressed surprise that s4re demand
for soldiers homes should be
daily on the increase, notwith-
standing the Civil war ended forty
years ago. It had temporarily
slipped his memory that the Phil
ippine war was furnishing young
material for soldiers homes at a
far greater rate than the ravages
of time and disea 3 left gaps in the
ranks OF the old veterans.
Senator Pettigrew in explanation
asserted that Gen. MacArthur's
reports showed thIre were 10, 900
more sick in the Philippines than
the HOSPITALS could take care OF,
and Senator Teller declared that
the number of sick and disabled
soldiers in the Philippines would
aggregate 40, 600 a year as long as
we stayed there. PLAIN truths
like these served to recall Senator
Hale to an appreciation OF his po-
sition as 4 defender of our Philip
pine policy. and he retorted that
every soldier in the Philippines
will have to be pensioned, and will
be.
This is not an alluriug prospect
for the taxpayer. The trade our
island possessions will bring US
will have to develop immensely in
volume and profits to repay our
expenditures over there, if ever

all Republicans, raised their hands
to heaven in horror and warned
