IS HE TNSANEP

The Washington Times speaking of Alexander Dowie. says there is, of course. little doubt as to the insanity of this self-styIed modern prophet" but that depends very much on what we understand by insanity. If Dowie's case was without precedent, we might admit his insanity. but such is not the fact. When Mohammed, in the seventh century, announced himself a Prophet sane, but he shook the world from cen tre to circumference, numbered his fol- lowers by millions and established a religious belief which more than a dozen centuries has failed to destroy, and the doctrine of Moslem is yet the religion of nations.
 When the Hebrew imposter, Sabatti Zevi, in the seventeenth century. an- nounced that he was the Christ. he was crazy in the estimation of the world. but he found thousands to be- lieve in and follow him, and stirred up immenEe excitement. All the older people remember what an excitement was created some sixty years ago by one William Miller. who claimed the gift of prophecy and who yet has thousands of followers. It was only a little earlier that Joseph Smith set himself up as a prophet or something of the kind and founded a religion which holds its place in the minds of tens of thousands.
 All these men were insane in a way. but with all of them. as with Dowie. there was method in their madness. Wealth. or power. or both, was the dominating influence which controlled them Dowie. if he holds his influence a few years, will be a millionaire. and then his deluded followers may go hang

A DISTORTION OF COL. HE1
 BERT'S REMARKS.

In its special from Montgomery yes terday. The Birmingham Age-Herald had this statement about Hon. H. A. Herbert's address before the State Bar Association:
 We must have freer thought and freer speech and standard above Party. In- dependence is getting a foothold in the South. Our newspapers are getting apove Party He eulogized the newspapers here in Alabama which went to Palmer and Buckner and gave special praise to tne Montgomery Advertiser for It's work in that revolt.
 It is very plain that The Age-Her- aids representative here did not hear that part of the distinguished speakers s address. The correspondent has copied verbatim the report on that matter of Tbe Evening Journal of this city. That paper naturally was disgruntled at any praise of the Alabama press which did not include it. When the ex-Sec- retary went still further, and spoke of one paper in Montgomery as coming up to the standard he had outlined, The Journal was supremeiy conscious of not being that paper. The result was the distortion of his remarks above quoted.
 As a matter of fact, Colonel Herbert said nothing of the kind. His remarks were entirely general. He made no allusion to any particular campaign in this State. or to the stand of any pa per on any issue. He lauded the in- dependent journals of the country. which have the courage to stand by their convictions on all questions at all times. irrespective of the possible effect on their business. He declared that there were such papers in Ala bama, and that there was "a conspicu- ous exemplar of the virtues I have been extolling'' here in Montgomery.
 The Age Herald should not suffer itself to be misled into such a ntsrep- resentation of a distinguished Aiabam- ian by the carelessness of some one who has appropriated a green-eyed re- port Colonel Herbert expressly said that there were such newspapers as he described in Alabama. He used the plural. and he did not except Birming- ham. Mobile or any other place in his designation. Our contemporary should not follow the example of The Jo<-nal and. by implication. write itself down as not coming up to the standard the ex-Secretary extolled. It does not be- long in The Journals class. and should take pains not to put itself there.

Foraker and the Negro.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Senator Foraker's speech before the Ohio Republican Convention contained a very indignant reference to the dis franchisement of colored voters now in progress at the South. He gave a fairly accurate imitation of a man who really believed what he was saying and who might be depended upon as soon as an opportunity offered to do some thing to correct the evil complained of.
 In view of all his. one would hardly imagine that the disfranchisement of the blacks is proceeding with the con- sent and connivance of the administra- ton at Washington, which hopes as a result of it to develop a white Repub- lican party capable of carrying several Southern States but such is the fact,
 Certain members of Congress who undertook last winter to enforce the fourteenth amendment by reducing Southern representation in Congress were headed off by a word from the White House. where it was made ap- parent that the managing clements in the Republican party were no longer interested in negro suffrage.
 Mir. Foraker knows all this as we'll as anybody There is a constitutional rem edy for the elimination of the black vote at the South. and as Senator of the United States 1t is his duty to ap- ply it. Viewing the subject with alarm at Columbus is quite a different mat ter from running counter to the Presi- dents orders at Washington.

"THE WEAVER. !"

The authorship Of the M poSWmh Wharton nto pend and the fact that the author appears to pc unknown gives the peculiarly beautiful and noble verses an added interest. The that during his schoolboy days in New York State, some twenty-five years ago this poem formed one of the reading ex- ercises in the higher text books. its pe- culIar meter making it favortte dril exercise with teachers. No doubt its au- thorship can be easily traced.
 The Weaver.
 The Weaver at his loom is sitting,
 Throwe his shuttle to and fro
 ID and down the treadies go; What rattling,
 What a battling,
 What a shuRling, What a scuffling!
 As the Weaver makes his shuttle Hither, thither. scud and scuttle. See the Mystic Weaver sitting High in Heaven. his loom below;
 Takes for wool it's kings and sages. Takes all stations and all stages Takes the nobles and their pages; Thrones are bobbins in his shuttle;
 Armies make them seud and scuttie' Web unto the wool must flow,
 Up and down the nations so!
 Calmly see the Mystic Weaver
 Throw his shuttle to and fro,
 Mid the noise and the confusion. Well the Weaver seems to know
 What each motion and com notion'
 What each fusion and confusion
 In the grand result will show.
 Glorious wonder. what weaving

 Soft and smooth. and even spreading, As if made for angels treading Every figure has its plaidtngs
 Brighter form and softer s;,adings, Inwrought figures fading evrr' Tufted circles touching never, Each illummed--what nldlc, By a cross that gems the middle.

RESOLUTIONS ENDORSED.

 the Situation in Its True Light. Editor The Advertisers:
 The resolutions adopted at the recent meeting of the Alabama Press Asso- citation, pledging the support of the press of the State to the Constitutional Convention if, in It's wisdom 1t should see fit to ignore the platform of pledges made by the State Convention, is meet ing with the endorsement of the wise conservative newspapers and people of the State. t5
 Prof. D. P. christenberry Of the Southern University, and Vice. Presi- dent of the Alabama Educational As sociation, in a communication to The Greensboro Watchman. says:
 Much has been said by newspaper men and politicians concerning the Convention now assembled. but very All honest and thoughtful citizens should feel an interest in the problems now to be solved. giving support to what is right and condemning what is wrong.
 The wishes of our wise and intelli- gent citizenship should be the funda- mental law of the land. Whatever is enacted beyond this cannot be enforced
 Delegates should not be trammeled by their former views or by platforms of former Conventions.
 If the Convention is anything, 1t is supreme. It has the power to reverse the action of every former Convention, legislature or Constitution. It Is the people in their ultimate and sovereign capacity whose duty 1t is to enact whatever is best. regardless of what may have been their former views or actions"
 The Talladega Mountain Home says:
 The annual address of President Rhodes was of unusual strength. He took some advanced views on live and important matters and his position was endorsed by resolution"
 Mir Isaac Grant, editor of The Grove Hill Democrat, who. for forty years has worked unselfishly for the interest of the people of his section. says: The sessions of the Association were quite interesting and agreeable. except ing a little friction as to a resolution in the closing work of the session.
 The resolution was to the effect that the first duty of the Constitutional Convention was to the people of Ala bama and of the United States. IS em- bodied in the oath which each member had taken in the organization of the Convention. There was bitter and noisy opposition to the resolution, com ing in the main from members of Pop ulistic sympathy. But the resolutions were passed. and the Association pledged to favor any Constitution that | the wisdom and conscience of the body may see proper to adopt"
 The Shelby Sentinel takes high broad. patriotic and Democratic view of the matter. in the following, If party pledges are found to be wrong and hurtful. in the interest oi the people they should not be kept Delegates to the Constitutional Con vention have taken an oath to give tc the people of Alabama the best Consti- tuition possible for them to devise.

mn sUFrRAuE REPORTS.

The ng-looked-fof report of the Committee on Suffrage was made to the Constitutional Convention yesterday. It was accompanied by a minority re- port. Both reports appear in full in the stenographic proceedings elsewhere. and full synopsis of both Is given on the first page of this issue.
 Both reports are able documents. They give evidence of vast deal of study, research and patience in the at- tempt to reform the franchise in the peculiar conditions existing in this State. It is gratifying to see that . Committee of twenty-five leading men from various parts of,the State were able to get together as harmoniously as they have. The minority opposes only one section of the majority report. The Committee is a unit on everything else in the plan.
 This point of difference Is the grand father" clause-the provision which is aimed to let in every white man be- cause his grandfather was a voter. and to exclude the bulk of negroes whose grandfathers. of course. could not have been voters. To this provision. Messrs. F. s. White, s. H. Dent. Geo. P. Har- rison and W. c. Oates do not agree. They are strong men. and they submit very forcible argument against it. Among other strong points. they declare that the majority of the Committee show their own distrust of the "grandfather" clause by providing for the result of any unfavorable court decision upon It.
 The Advertiser will not now express itseh fully upon all the provisions of this suffrage plan. SufYice it to say that we have had little sympathy with the grandfather" clause. We are not inclined to regard it as necessary. ex- pedient or prudent. There are other objections of a minor character, but they can be dwelt upon later.
 The report of the Committee will lie upon the table of the Convention prob- ably for two or three weeks. as there are several other reports ahead of it. In the meantime. press and people will have abundant opportunity to consider the proposed restrictions, and. doubt less. the deliberations of the public will have q material influence upon the action of the Convention in this vital matter.
