Weilinnton's "lnjury."

Senator Wellington of Maryland is
such a hopeless ass that ii l. not sur
prising that the newspapers of that
state. irrespective of party lines, are
calling for his resignation. In n re-
cent communication Wellington says:
II gave no interview. but refused
again and again to give any express
sion for publication. for the reason
that Mr. Mckinley had done me such
injury | would never forgive him. ana
l felt that it would be better to say
nothing at this time.
Now what was this terrible INJURY
which Wellington received from Prcsi-
dent Mckinley and which he declares
himself unable to forgive? Simply
this: Not long after Mr.. Mckinney $
first inaugural he was asked by Well
ington and others to appoint a young
Maryland man. whose personal qualih-
cations were of the highest, to a consul
lar position. This he promised 10 do.
the young mans father. and asked
the President to retract his promise
rega riding the young man and give the
place to some one else. This the
President courteously but firmly re-
fused to do. Having given his word
he did not purpose 10 break IT, neither
did h. see any reason why he should
burden his administration with Well
ington's ouarrcls. All this happened
at the special session of Congress in
the summer of 1897 which passed IN"
Dingley tariff bill.
The most conspicuous thing about
wellington is his monumental
cgotism. He aspired 10 b. a boss IL
Maryland. and Wls furious because he
could not bend the President TO his
purposes. AS result he went upon
the floor of the senate and snortcd de
fance. Because Of his exhibitions
the independent Washington Post, with
the cordial approval of the men Of all
parties in Congress. pronounced him
"A lurid ass
Never was the appropriateness oi
this classification more strongly
shown than by WellinGton's revenge
full and unfeeling comments upon the
Presidents death.

SOUTH GARDINER TO AUGUSTA
Daily Kennebec journal., 1901-09-27

There appears to have been some
misapprehension regarding the amount
of life insurance carried by President
Mckinley. The exact total OF ms
policics was S67 900. OF this amount
$50 o0o was carried in the New York
Life Insurance Company. This was
late policy, and was taken largely as a
result Of the Presidents personal
friendship with John A. Mccall. and
the advice of Senator Hanna. Up 70
1897 the insurance policies carried by
Mr.. Mckinley aggregated only about
$4,000. The Presidents widow, in ac-
cordance with custom, will be granted
by Congress a life annuity of S5ooo
This with the income from the insur-
ance policies and other savings Of the
President will give her an annual in
come of about $4,000. Following
the precedent in the case or
President Garfield Congress will
doubtless make full provision for the
Presidents sickness and death. This
will of course include all funeral ex-
penses. Congress not only paid Presi-
dent Garfield's funeral expenses, but
also made liberal provision for Mrs.
Garfield She was paid her husband $
salary for the remainder of the year,
was given pension of $4,000 year
for the remainder of her life. and was
accorded the franking privilege. by
which she can use the mails without
the payment of postage. Mrs. Mckinley
will certainy be treated with equal
liberality.

\ Portland business woman received
quite an unpleasant surprise one day.
this week, when she had occasion to
move the desk in her office. 1t brought
to light four rifle cartridges of heavy
calibre which had been placed in such
a position that had the desk been
moved as it naturally would be for
busting, one or more of the cartridges
would have been exploded. 1t is a
question whether the cartridges were
placed where they were found by some
one who wished to do the proprietor
of the office harm. or by some hair
Drained individual who tried to be
funny. In either case the identity of
the miscreant will probably be estab-
lished. for the cartridges bear marks
by which the place of purchase can be
identified, and the purchaser is very
likely to receive summary punish

Snjpnjnu the States Crop.

Secretary Hester says there are or will be before the year is completed 6,531,6 spindles in the South. The starting of new mills in the cotton year just ended kept the Southern consumption from falling of, while the loss in consumption in Northern mills was fully 25O,OOo bales. The Southern mills show gain in con sumption on the other hand of 23,S1s bales. This is fine showing when the unsatisfactory nature of the year is considered, for it was year oi high-priced raw material and low priced goods.
 Of all the States Alabama shows the largest gain in cotton consumed 16.435 bales. Georgfa's consumption was increased by 15,389 bales, and South Carolina's by 13,340. These three States present the best show ings, and Alabama leads the list.
 With an open China MT. Hester an ticipates a Southern consumption ex ceeding 1,725.OOO bales in the present year. as against 1,62o,ss1 bales in the year just enGed. As 42 new mills containing s46,214 spindles, will soon bc In operation. there is no reason why MT. Hester's figures sould not be fully met.
 Nor is there is any reason why Alabama's rate of growth in oonsump ticn should not be maintained. There are many Alabama towns that should have cotton mills. These towns would have had at least one mill. if they had been placed in Georgia or either of the

Clay County Schools.

State Superintendent of Education John W. Abercrombie was in Birming- ham last night on his return from Clay County. Discussing conditions in that county in regard to schools he said:
 "I am returning from a visit to Clay County where I went to attend a meeting of the teachers institute The institute was well attended. 75 per cent of the white teachers being present. Many of the citizens were present also
 "The people of Clay are mahifesting great interest in educational affairs. They are giving special attention to the erec- tion of suitable school buildings. I saw evidences of progress on every hand.
 Their teachers, too, are making great efforts to advance professionally. The per- centage of high grade teachers Is far above that of the average county. This Is accounted for by the fact that for many years Ashvills and Lineville have main- tained schools of high grade.
