MIR. cARNEeIE's WEALTH.

From the New York Press.
 How rich is or was, Andrew Carnegie? ? Recently J. P Morgan & Go. shipped to him in one batch per cent. bonds of the par value of $21O, 100000. A per cent. bond ordinarily is worth 125; therefore the value of that one little bunch of securities was more than $26C, ,0OO,0OO. Unquestionably Carnegie Is, or was of he has given them away), the biggest single holder of bonds in the world. It's an easy bet that these bonds do not represent anything like half of the Carnegie wealth, and it Is doubtful if there Is any other millionaire on this earth.

The Courage of Great Men.

Independence In politics in England the subjection of mere partisanism to patriotism, finds renewed and almost startling illustration in the action of the Right Hon. Henry Herbert Asquith and the Liberal Imperialists in refusing out right to follow the Gladstonfan radicals led by Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and Sir William Vernon Harcourt," said Birmingham man who has studied En- glish politics in England. whilst being concerned In politics in this country
 MT Asquith holds that the outspoken sympathy with the Boers uttered by such ultra-radlcals and political anarchists as Henry Labouchere, and morally encour- aged by Campbell Zimmerman and liar court is little short of treason; and that is about the way we would regard 1t in this country. For example if the mass of the American people think of Edward Atkinson at all, in his relations to Aguin- aldo, they do not regard him as a patriot

One Fair Woman,

''Mrs. Asquith as Margot Remnant was known and highly esteemed throughout Great Britain for her intellect and her great goodness of heart and charitable ness, and when for weeks after her first child was born, eight years ago her life was In gravest peril there was sorrow in thousands of British homes, firm the old Queens palace down to the humblest cot on the Tennant estate in Peebleshire.
 Though I never personally knew Margot Remnant, I have most pleasing recollection of her when she was very young woman. In 1889 I spent the spring and summer in the ancient and picturesque town of Peebles in the valley of the Tweed. four miles from which is The Glen Sir John Tenants magnificent palace in the hills one of the great show places of Scotland While the Remnants were resident In The Glen that summer they organized amongst the county arsitocracy a bazaar to raise money for lifting a debt from the parish church in Peebes
 This bazaar was held in the hall of the Chambers Institute, in Peebles, a combination of library, art gallery, and gymnasium which was presented to his native town by William Chambers, the founder of the great publishing house that still bears his name; and in part it is a memorial to Mungo Park, the illus trious traveller, who was born near Pee bles In 1771.

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE

It is a pity to butcher a fine suffrage law with one piece of patchwork.
 Of course we all know that the main object in holding the convention Is to regulate the present nefarious election system, which, it would be hard to worst. from almost any standpoint of argument: and we doubt, as we have always done, whether 1t would be bettered by a consti- tutional convention.
 From the Geneva Reaper
 As the election now stands let us sum- marize Just moment The present law, the Sayre system, Is the most outrageous law ever imposed on an enlightened peo- pie It leaves the door of fraud wide open, where all sorts of nefarious tricks can be worked, where the marker deter mines the results of all elections: where common intelligence, and we might say. extraordinary intelligence, axaileth nothing, as not five voters out of every hundred In Alabama today can vote the State ticket intelligently. This gives the marker the cue and he dees the rest. So all the changes the convention makes till doomsday will not improve matters until and unless this enc defect is remedied.
 Again, why prate honest elections in Alabama and disfranchIsing the negro when the blackbelt politicians are now striving to base the voting strength of the State on population instead of votes? Is doesn't matter a farthlng, so far as legislative representation Is concerned, whether the negro votes or not; his vote indirectly Is counted just the same.
 Now these are facts beyond all doubt, and what absurdity to predict fair elec- tions, and fair white representation, even though the suffrage law Is changed as the majority of the suffrage committee contend.
 We are here to defend the rights of the white people of South Alabama and by heaven, we propose to do this; and so far as we can, see that our peopls get justice and not forever remain throttled and hampered through indirect
 negro domination.
 We propose to discuss all of these questions, openly and frankly, and not for party sake see our people brow beaten by small coterie of political bosses who have worn the seats of their pants threadbare perched on the front seats of the political band wagon, while i we, with vast ma3orities over them, have no voice in our States affairs. Before adjournment let the noted con- vention frame a fair and equitable con- stitution stripped of all cloaks and eva sions, and the people will vote for its ratification; otherwise 1t will be voted down beyond resurrection.

 The opposition of Senator Morgan to what Is generally known as the grand father suffrage clause" Is by no means surprising. He has never favored that plan In any of his discussions of the suf- frage question, but on the contrary has advised against 1t.
 Senator Morgan contends that the prin ciple of allowing decendants to vote for no other reason than that they are de- cendants of ilustrious fathers, is making blood the medium of transmitting the electoral power and is therefore a radi- cal departure from Democratic teachings. He fears such a policy would encourage regime that would soon bring us to where we were before the American revo- lution.
 The suffrage committee has presented an excellent plan without the operation of the grandfather clause. Those who study closely the effects of the suffrage law upon the vote In Alabama will read fly agree that the grandfather clause can be left out without imparing the efficiency of the law, to any marked extent, there fore the conclusion that the other pro- visions will cover the case without saying man may vote because his father was voter.

Toniqht's Caucus in Montgomery.

It Is understood that General Charles M. Shelley, Hon. Lawrence Breckinridge Musgrove and other noted Democrats in private life, will proceed to Montgomery this morning to consult with the Demo- cratic leaders there in reference to the caucus of Democratic delegates in the constitutional convention which Is to be held tonight sia,# It was stated by delegate, who was in Birmingham yesterday, that the chief pur- pose of the caucus was to try to agree upon concert of action looking to the final adjournment of the convention, and that 1t was not believed the caucus would att tempt to draw partisan lines upon any issue pending in the convention. The opinion seemed to be that the eau GUS would not seek to bind the consciences of delegates on grave problems or organic law for the whole State.

Two Missionary Heroes

Among the almost innumerable
acts of heroism recorded of mission
aries in various parts of the world,
two stand out very prominently
namely the performances of Joseph de
Veuster Gather Damien), the mis-
sionary who devoted his life to the
service of the lepers of the Sandwich
Islands; and Samuel Marsden, the mis-
sionary to and friend of the Maori
One of the most heroic deeds of the lat
ter was on the occasion of his first
landing amongst them at the Bay Of
Islands on the ed pf December, 1914.
On seeing the hordes Of yelling, armed
savages upon the beach, his crew tried
to dissuade him from landing. but
Marsden was determined, and stepped
alone, and unarmed, from the boat.
That night he slept in the open air
under a great tree, surrounded by
hundreds of the fiercest beings that
men could well conceive. Marsden.
however, had no fear, and lived to see
his work successful. On the 18th Of
May, 1873, Father Damien sailed from
Honolulu for the Island of Molokai, tho
leper settlement, where, on landing, he
was met by 700 wretched beings with
limbs twisted out OF all shape, hesh
rotting from their bones, and all hope
dead within them; yet he went among
them with smiling face and cheerful
spirit, although he knew the certainty
that sooner or later he would be In

from which they suffered. For twelve
years he escaped the fatal disease
