One doesn't have to go away from
the haunts of the republicans to hear
predictions that the republican party
will have an uphill fight in 1902.
When the party obtained absolute con-
troll of the state government, it pulled
the throttle wide open, and started at
the highest rate Of speed possible for
the treasury, which viii be depleted in
60 days as q result. Scores OF new
jobs were created with fat salary at
tachments, and the pay for most Of the
existing Offices were increased.
Every CRATER IN the state who work
ed for the republican ticket was re-
warded with q place in the miscellsn-
eoas appropriation bill, and above all,
the interests OF the corporations were
carefully guarded By direction OF the
state machine in consider
alton OF the financial aid given in the
late campaign
The only corporation that didn't get
what it wanted was the American Book

England is really in its decadence,

The Kansas legislature wrestled
with innumerable bills at the late ses-
sion, many of which would be dis
grace to an escaped inmate of luna
tic asylum. For instance, Mr.. Rem
ington introduced bill No. 7O1, provid-
ing for the punishment of larceny of
domestic fowls, making it a peniten-
tiaTy ofense with five years imprison-
ment. The bill did not pass, of course,
as the penal code provides for all such
cases. But think Of the calibre of the
honorable member of the legislature"
who would introduce such bill. No
wonder that fool laws are passed.

"UNDER THE SUM-"

"UNDER THE SUM-"
The men that have gone before us
Have sung the songs we sing;
The words of our clamOrous chorus,
They were heard Of the ancient king.
The chords of the Tyre that thrill Us,
They were struck in the years gone by,
And the arrows Of death that kin Us
Are found where our fathers lie.
The vanity sung of the Preacher
Is vanity still to-day;
The moan of the stricken creature
Has rung in the woods Away.
But the songs axe worth resinging
With the change of no single note,
And the spoken words are ringing
As they rang In the years remote.
There is no new road to follow, Lovel
Nor need there ever be,
For the old with its hill and hollow, Love
Is enough for you and me.

THE ALABAMA" DISABLED.
One of Her Big Guns Ruined in Practice
Neu Ynrk Snecia

New 1ork Special ::
 Severe tests given to the new first class battleship the Alabama, which re- turned 60 the navy yard today from her summer cruise, resulted in the prac- tical disabling of one of the huge 13- inch guns in the forward turret. At present it is not known whether the gun can be repaired or whether 1t will have to be entirely recast. In any event, the expense to the Government will closely approach $100,0O0.
 In the gun tests off the Virginia capes the full service charges were used in guns -of-ah ca1fbers. The only one that did not stand the strain was the forward port 13-inch rifle. The grooves of the rifling gave way under the strain of the service powder charge and the gun was of no further use. Naval officers are reticent about the disabling of the gun, and no report of the matter has been forwarded yet to Washington.
 Those familiar with the work of the big guns and their construction say that the rifling is the guns weakest point, Many cases of similar accidents are on record. Sometimes a new core can be put in, but in the case of the big guns this operation would be exceedingly diff ficult.
 The Alabama will remain in the Brook lyn navy yard for about a month and will be thoroughly cleansed and painted Her officers declare that she proved sat- isfactory in every way, and that her type is the best yet built for our navy A feature of her construction is the so- called balancing turrets, the Alabama being the first ship having them.

Reciprocity or AnnexationP

Cleveland Plain Dealer CDem.).
 The dissolution of the Cuban constitu- tional convention on Thursday was mark ed by demonstrations throughout the island in support of memorial to be sent to Congress at Washington, from the bankers, manufacturers, merchants and business men generally, in favor of rec iprocity agreement by which Cuban sugar and tobacco will be admitted to the United States on favorable terms. The demonstrations are reported to have in some places developed a strong sentiment in favor of annexation to the United States.
 There is a propaganda at work. both in the United States and in Cuba, for the development of an annexation sentiment, and the effect of its efforts will no doubt become apparent before long. Should there be a refusal, or even much delay, in putting into force reciprocity agree ment by which Cuban sugar and tobacco will be admitted at reduced duties in re- turn for large concessions to American products and manufactures entering Cuba the movement for annexation will gather great force at both ends of the line.
 With annexation there will be absolute free trade between Cuba and the main land of the United States. Cuba, It's in- dependence once established, would come In on no other terms. and 1t cannot be dictated to, as was the case with Porto Rico. This Is something for the opponents of the proposed reciprocity agreement to cogitate on.

to lack of funds, Some time ago Bishop Candler of Georgia, came to Montgomery to dedicate this handsome church edifice. but owing to the necessary requisite amount not being in hand the formal dedication was indefinitely postponed, The church though, was sufficiently com, pleted for occupancy some time ago, and few months s>eyious. a new modern Pitcher organ costing $2,5O0 was put in The work on the building is completed with the exception of the steeple.
 It was ascertained that $lS,0O would pay off all the indebtedness of the church 1n- cluding the price of the new organ, put ting on the steeple, finishing up the sun day School room and various other details The members of the church nave given much to the building fund, also many members of other Methodist congrega- tions of the city and how to raise. the necessary $1S,00O was a question that re- ceived much consideration from the mem- bers of the church. Rev. MT floss or Nashville knowing the predicament of the local church wrote them in regard to the work of MT.
