NO REFoRM PROBABLE.

The chances arc good that Philadel- phis will retain its reputation of being the most corruptly governed city in the United States. It was hoped at one time that the opposition to the disrepu- table ring would unite and put an end to- the corruption which is becoming scandal to the country. but that hope has been demolished by the refusal of the re- form clements to unite. If, as Tow seems certain, there are to be two or more tickets put in the field by the re- form element. the present disreputable government will contindc.
 If there has ever been a time or oc- sasion where fusion was not only justi- fable, but desirable, the present is the time in Philadelphia. It is not ques- ton of politics at all, but of honesty against corruption. No Democrat or Re- publican was required or expected to surrender his political beliefs or to adopt others. The only object of the proposed combination was to turn the rascals out" Whether those who succeeded in this object and obtained the office were Democrats or Republicans was not the point All honest men could unite in the one task of securing an honest city gov  tical rights and privileges in their re- spective parties. In one respect it was as if the members of the various churches in a city should unite in a movement to drive out an association of law-breakers. It would not be a sectarian movement, and no member of any church would surrende" or lose any Of his religious tenets.
 The condition of Philadelphia's city government has become a shame and reproach to the country. and nothing but heroic measures and a thorough unifica- ton of all honest people afforded promise or hope of relief. It was thought that thIs had been secured and that all men of all parties who desired a change for the better would get together and rout out the disreputable gang now in con trol. The prospect for such union has vanished, and those who profess to be in favor of reform will divide their strength and thus ensure another lease of power to the rascals now In control. Philadel- phia ig to be pitied.

Marion Standard.
 The Birmingham papers report that a conference of the leading opponents or the new Constitution was held in that city Saturday. Those present were Gen eral Shelley, ex-GovernOr Johnston, Hon. Jesse Stallings, w. T. l.. Cofer of Gull man. Judge Gaston of Butler and J. Lee Long of Greenville.
 The Birmingham papers from some cause neglected to give the political bi- ography of these self-appointed dictators. Shelley though once honored as a mem her of Congress is disgruntled because he was not made Governor. Johnston we all know failed to succeed Morgan-nun said. Stallings shied his castor into the ring for Governor and in his selfish in- terest refused to show up at Washing ton even when telegraphed that his vote was needed to enable Robbins to retain his seat against Aldr1ch, and now he is mad because his name has been changed from Jesse to Dennis. Judge Gaston is the Probate Judge of county that gave a Republican majority at the last national election. Of course he favors fight in Democratic ranks. Lee Long has for sew eral years been Stallings's trainer and rubber down. Cofer run for delegate to Constitutional Convention and when de- feated for the nomination by Democrat ic convention, ran against and defeated the regular nominee. And there you are.

A BIT CnNFusINa

Not the least singular feature in con- nection with the shooting of the Presi- dent was the transformation sent out re- garding the pistol used. Not only was it positively asserted that 1t was a double barreled Derringer. but many illustrated papers had pictures. purportinig to be actual photographs, showing short pis- tol. one barrel above the other, and the readers of the papers were assured that the pictures were true cuts of the weapon used. To add to the confusion 1t was stated repeatedly that only the prompt action of the negro. Parker, and Detect i've Gallaher prevented the assassin from firing again. Reading that two shots were fired and that the pistol had but two barrels people were puzzled to know where another shot was to come from.
 Now we are assured that the weapon used is in possession of the authorities, and that it is a five-chambered revolver. There is no reason to doubt this state ment. but as the public had been treated to illustrations of double-barreled pistol taken from iife." as 1t were, 1t is no wonder the readers of illustrated papers were confused, and that they wondered how the assassin was to fire a third shot The incident shows how false im- pressions are created by careless or reck- less correspondents.

A BEAuTIFuL rRIRnrE.

The Advertiser Is in receipt of a pam phlet containing the beautiful tribute to Gov. Sanford delivered before the State Bar Association at Its recent meeting by Judge William H. Thomas of this city. The following extract shows the key note to the whole character of the dead statesman:
 That William J. Samfords heart was not scared with ambitions furious flame, that his motives were pure and sweet, that his strivings were stripped of all selfish dross, that his pillar of cloud and fire was the fixed purpose to reprove make other lives brighter, broader and better, and to eXempllfy by his own life the possibility of success by purity in private and public life, and a strict ad- herence to his religious belief,-that these outstanding salient virtues irradiated his entire life there is not a question in the minds of those who knew him. And with out betFaying his sacred confidence, trust, 1 may open the door of his holy of holies, that you may hear him holding high converse with himself. For many years he kept a diary, in which, from time to time, were noted his thoughts and acts; and there we find the follow ing: October 30, 1899: Some friends are 'rumoring my name with the Governor ship Here (where 1t cannot be said l see 1t for years to come. if ever) I write my honest thought. l have no lust for office; I would not have the Governor g offlce by any trick or chicanery.

LOCAL TAXATT0N.

While we favor and commend the B. mill school tax that has been adopted by the Constitutional Convention. yet we do not concur in the belief that it is the best thing that could have been done for our Lutlic school system. What we need Is local taxation supplemented by the State fund. The man who pays his taxes directly for the benefit of pupil, schools will consider it duty.
 The above Is from The Pickens County News, which seems to have overlooked the fact that under the new Constitution the object 1t desires can be secured pro- vided the people vote for It. If a county wants to levy a tax for schools, the county authorities can order an election and on an affirmative three-fifths vote the additional amount can be secured. The friends of education ought to rally to a man and vote for the new Constitu- ton, which appropriates to schools very nearly one-half of all the revenue of the State derived from taxation. Under the present instrument Tess than one-half a mill is imperativgly set apart for schools. The new Constitution enlarges that six fold. and allows counties to increase that, thus putting the education of the child ren above the caprices and whins of legislators.

HoN. n M. wALKER.

One of the foremost members of tho Committee to draft an address setting forth the claims of the new Consultation upon popular confidence was Judge R. W. Walker of Huntsville. He was also one oftthe abIcst members of the conven- tion, and his good work was felt in many ways during its sessions. By some over sight his name was omitted from the list of signatures to the address as published in The Advertiser, but the public may rest assured that he not only signed the address but gave his hearty assent to 1t. He came all the way from his home to Montgomery to confer with the sub-com- mittee and the whole committee. and is heartily in accord with every movement to secure the ratification of the new Con- ssitsifiou.A Y F sttk &t

Is the abth President.

Chicago Journal.
 Inasmuch as some newspapers have been speaking ot MT. Roosevelt as the tWenty-n1th President, 1t is just as well to nave the question settled. The con fusion arlses rom counting Grover Cleveland twice. He held two terms but he was not two different men, II ms terms nau succeeded eacn uIner as i'll the case of the other Presidents holding two terms he would have been counted as the LwenLy-second President, BenJa- min Harrison as the twenty-third, as he was, ana Mckinley as the twenty-fourth. If both or CleVelands terms are to be counted and he is to be called the twen- ty-second and tWenty-fourth fresldent, then other ooutle terms should Do count ed also, ana Washington would be the
 trst and second President, and so on. his mode of enumeration would make
 Roosevelt the thirty-fourth President.
 By no reasonable mode of counting can he be the twenty-sixth. He is, in fact. the twenty-ffth person to fill the office. and consequently the twenty-fifth Pres ident of the United States.

IF IS FULLY UNDERSTOOD.

What party elected the Legislature which passed the act for the Convention? What party called the primaries and Convention which nominated the dele gates? Were not nearly all the delegates Democrats? Are not all the Democratic dAlegates-save one-supporting the new Constitution? Are any of the Republican or Populist delegates supporting the new Constitution?
 It is not possible for the new Consti- tuition to be made a Democratic meas ure more positively than the acts of the members of the party have already made it. Every one knows what party is responsible for the Constitution. Every one knows what party is defeated and crippled if that measure is defeated. Every body knows that the hope of downing the Democratic party is the mo- tive which keeps Republicans and Popu- lists from supporting the new Constitu- ton. The combine of the three defeated candidates at Birmingham. who are fighting ratification, is an attempt to re- buke the party for not needing their ad- vice and gratifying their ambition at the last primaries. While the Demo- cratic party has not made support of the new Constitution a test of party fealty. 1t has distinctly announced the attitude of the party and called on its members to aid in ratification. Twist the matter as one may, there is no mistaking the fact that in beating down ratification the Democratic party will be beaten down. There Is no doubt the people un- derstand the situation, and that the great mass of Democrats will rally for more enthusiastically when their affections are appealed to than by a resort to the party lash.
