Birmingham, Sept. 6.-(Special. )-Elmer E. Wood of the hrm of U. s. Wood and Son, wholesale coal dealers and agents in New Orleans, who nave been making large purchases of Alabama coal is in the district looking after the delivery of zUO, 00O tons Of coal which his firm has contracted for In an interview Mir
 Wood stated that his firm would have demand for this entire amount of coal and would probably purchase even more since there has been a reduction Of freight rates on coal by all rail routes from Birmingham from $.1S to Nl per ton. Al9ta.ns coal. Mir. Wood said. is meet!g ,..i the expectations of the con- tractors. As to the competition of the Pennsylvania coal he stated there is a dife. ence now in prices in favor of Ala bama. notwithstanding the all-water route from Pennsylvania. When ques- toned about the use of oil for fuel MT. Wood said: 'rhere is no denying the fact that oil products in Texas, is being used considerably for fuel purposes and a little to the detriment of coal. It is being felt some but not extensively. The people who are using fuel are not yet convinced as to the supply. Of the oil fuel product as to warrant them making changes in their machinery for the use of oil for fuel. hence coal is still in de- mand.' Mir. Wood predicts an active de- mand for all the coal which Alabama can send 10 the Southwestern markets.

Alabama's New Constitution.

Chicago Tribune: A,ohar,a
 The two features of the new Alabama ,~onstitution which will attract the most sttention are the limitation upon the reg uiar meetings of the Legislature to fo,,a short session of fifty days once Tn Tour @Iour
 years and the qualifications for the cleo five franchise ,-,..,.. ,-..
 sions annually, but in the great maJollty
 tbev are held biennially, and the oplnlon
 is 1retty general by this time that ire
 nuent meetings are productive Of evil
 rather than of good. The ooJectons a against them are that they cause an un-
 nscessary expense. that they promote
 "erafting," that they encourage dema-
 p9eical and mischievous interference wlth
 inc laws when public and statutes both
 need rest. It.. ,.,
 that where the whole legislative body is
 elected for four years there is danger of public interest because the members
 are more independent of the electorate, but they cannot escape responsibility, and when special sessions are urgently de- manded to consider subjects of vital im- nortance they will he called The point fs certainly well taken that we suffer from too great legislative activity, and the Alabama experiment will be watched with a hopeful expectancy. There will be | approval also of the further discourage ment of ambitious legislators in those provisions of the Constitution which eX- | lend the application of the home rule | principle and restrict the Legislature to I the enactment of general laws.
 | As regards the elective franchise it is | to be noted that although there are dis criminations in favor of the whites they | will soon begin to lose their force.

UNMITIGATED DRIVEL. Inc Selma TimeS has fhis tnsaV.

The chance given to General George P. Harrison on Monday in the Convention to announce his future ardent support of the Democratic party was most fortunate one, and the party in the State rejoice with him in his implied determination to forswear Palmer and BucKnerism for the future and go with his party wherever it leads. It would be most gratifying 1T his course would be the means of in- ducing the few remaining adherents of that heterodoxal party tenet to see the error of their ways and humbly ask for party forgiveness, promising faithful all iegiance and firm resolve to act square in the future.
 If we were disposed to use only plain English we should be compelled to char acterize this as unadulterated rot. Gen eral Harrison, like General Oates Colonel Sanford and several others, pledged him. self to support the new Constitution. He had no need to "forswear Palmer and Rucknerism," whatever that is, nor did he say or intimate that he will go with his party wherever it leads" He was not called on to say anything or the kind, was not expected to say 1t, and would not have said it under any cir cumstances.
 General Harrison did not approve all that was done or not done by the Con- vention, and in that he had much and good company, but like man who Is brave enough to do right and patriotic enough to lay aside some of his own preferences, he pledged himself to go with the Democratic party in its advo. cacy of the new Constitution. It woulo have been we'll if The Times had sooner shown a disposition to follow the patri otic example of General Harrison ana an nounced it's own determination to go wi'f him in the present campaign.
 And the intimation of The Times una sound money Democrats shall hu"oi: ask for party forgiveness is so impefu nert as to be amusing. Men who knoV tbev are right are not in the habit oekjnp forgiveness, humbly or otherwise and when The Times sees the Democrat of the old faith crawling up on oende' knees to ask pardon or forgiveness or tn men who wrecked the Democratic part # will see the mighty oak bowing uoWI at the roots of the bramble The Time had better absorb a --.tle genuine De roocracv before 1t throws mud at thos r,ho have never advocated any other tha Democratic principles.

Call to Negro Cohorts

Tie following call has been sent out by L. c. Caperton, chairman; and J. D. Bel, Secretary addressed to the negro voRrs of Alabama:
 tn view of the fact that the Constitu- tiohal Convention has adjourned, which contention convened in the city of Mont gonAry for the specific purpose of dis franAhising the colored voters of the StatA 1t Is now our duty as a race to be- stir oSrseIf and to confer with each other as to Nhe best polhcy to pursue to defend ourselWs. Therefore, each county is called ipon to send their best thinking men to Meet in a conference which will convene ia the city of Birmingham Sept. g, 1901. at F o'clock. for the purpose of discussing and advising the race what is best to do. and transact such other busi- ness as may come before the conference" The promoters of tha matter claim that there will be large number of negroes here to the confere nct from all parts of the State. It Is intehd d 10 take such steps looking to condertd opposition to the new Constitution Fhl5h will be rati- fled during the month IoI November.

UNJUST AND UNFAIR.

The most unjust and ill-timed com ment we have seen on the new Consti- tuition comes from The Mobile Item, the gist of the article being in these para graphs:

The committee very properly urges Democrats to vote fol the adoption of the new instrument, ant that is what we believe all Democrats ought to do. We have not expected The Item to support it.

sYMpArHY FOR MIR. M'K1NIEY.

The shooting of President Mckinley by an assassin yesterday has evoked mighty wave of sympathy for the suf- fering Chief Magistrate. It is confined to no section of the Union. Party politics for the time is set aside, and the voice of passion is stilled. Everybody realizes that Mir. Mckinley has been singulariy fair minded in the administration of his great trust, and that he sincerely loves his country. No narrow sectionalism Is charged against him. No persecution for opinions sake has found favor at his hands While true to the party which elected him, he has constantly recog- nized the fact that all the patriotism does not belong to one party. He has shown himself a genuine American on many occasions. and from every nook and cor ner of this great Union there is sorrow today because of his misfortune.
 If the prayers and hopes of the people of the Southern States can avail his life will be spared and the term for which he was elected be filled by him to the last moment.

IT ALL DEPENDS.

The Kansas City Journal is hugging It. self over the walk-over that its party IS going to have in the next Presidential campaign, and thus sets down its req sons:
 Even those who deny the soundness and wisdom of Republican principles are com pelled to admit that the outlook IS de- cidedlly in favor of a continuation ot Republican rule. A careful analysis or the situ9tion reveals two facts which underlie this belief. One is the prosper ous condition of the country under Rc- publican management. Ihe otlsr ID the potentiality of William J. Bryan.
 We admit that its first point is a good one. provided conditions do not change. Whether right or wrong. the party in power is always given the blame or credit for the condition Of the country. That the country generally is now enjoying an unusual degree of prosperity is evident to all who want to see the truth, and If that prosperity continues or increases during the present administration we may as well admit that it will be a strong i factor in deciding the issue in 1904. On | the contrary, if that year should come in | with anything approaching general hard l times and an impoverished condition of l the country and the people, then MT. Mo 1 Kinlev and his administration will as- suredly be held largely responsible for 1t
 the people will be restless and ripe for g
 change and the Democrats may score
 So it depends largely on the material
 conditions prevailing in 1904 whether the
 Republicans will held on or be turned
 down.
 But we are not disposed to agree witt ! al hut ynthat Io

so important as 1t thinks The Journal thus defines its meaning:

so important as 1t thinks. The Journal thus defines its meaning:
 But Mir. Bryan has not lost all his power in the party-especially in the Western wing of 1t. He will either name the candidate or dictate the platform In 19o4. or both. If he does either he party, for the country will have none of Bryan or Bryanism. He will insist upon ticket and platform which arc sub- stantial!y in harmony with the Kansas City declaration Of last year. If his de- mands are refused, he will lead an open revolt and take thousands of Democratic voters with him into the ranks of some thard party. In either case, he stands as an insuperabie obstacle to Democra,.t = success and a practical guarantee of an- other Republican victory.
 We know as well as does The Journal that Mir. Bryan still has a considerable following. but it Is easy to see. and The Journal cannot help seeing. that Mir. Bry- ans influence Is waning every day, and that In all probability he will not be a political factor of any weight in 1904. True, there may come such a change in the financial and material condition of the country during the intervening time that it will reincarnate him and his doc AoSNCo of 1896 and 1900 and again. perhaps. elect a Republican ticket but we are not look ing for that to occur. If 1t does it will, as we have already said. weaken the Re- publican party, but whether to an extent that will defeat it, with Mir Bryan and his policy weighing down the Democracy Is doubtful.
 The other alternative suggested by The Journal, that MT. Bryan may revolt and form a third party Is liable to cut both ways The Journal should keep in mind the fact that there are many thousands of Republicans who are as ardent advo- cates of free coinage as are any of the Democrats or Populists. If Mir. Bryan should form a thirty party its basic prin- ciple would assuredly be free coinage at Is to 1, and on such platform he would draw largely from the Republicans as well as the Democrats.
 And after all. the next Presidential campaign will be largely governed by the conditions of the country i.. -.,.. We are not at all disposed. to look on MT. Bryan as "an insuperable obstacle to Democratic success" nor will we ad- init that the triumph of the Republican party is practically assured. The best thinkers and keenest observers in the Democratic party. both of those who fol- lowed and those who refused to follow Mir. Bryan. are showing n disposition to get together on a common ground which will promise success, and which at the same time will be Democratic and sensi- ble. The Journal may be growing too soon.

The clause in the new Constitution pro- hibiting municipalities from granting franchises for a longer period than 30 years was introduced by Mir. Boone of Mobile. and after an animated discussion was adopted by a large majority. It was not put in by the Committeee on Har- xnony as an original proposition of that committee but by direct action of the Convention. Thirty years Is long enough life to grant any franchise.
