-e- THE BLACK BELT.

The anti-Constitution leaders are weep ing some salty tears over the alleged danger of negro rule in the Black Belt, and apparently are more solicitous about our condition down here than the people themselves. The same men do not hesi- tate to get up in other parts of the State and rail against the new Constitution on the ground that the Black Belt dominated the Convention and practically made the Constitution. This Is strange incon- sistency, but not to be wondered at when the conduct of their leader. ex-Governor Johnston, is taken into consideration. In the theatre in this city. on one occasion, he rushed to the front of the stage and, in a dramatic way. declared that he was entitled to support here as Black Better: that he graduated in the ballot box in Dallas County. In a few days afterwards at a meeting in Birmingham, he said they will soon be calling me Populist because I favor honest elections" Here claiming support on the ground that he had aided in doubtful election methods, and up there smirching those with whom he claimed to have affiliated.
 The census returns show the following facts as to the number of literate whites and blacks in fourteen counties in which the negro vote is larger than the white:

UNJUST DEDUCTIONS.

The Advertiser this morning copies for the purpose of comment an editorial from The Nashville News in connection with the appointment of a Federal Judge q Alabama. The News does injustice both to President Roosevelt and to Judge Jones by the tone of its editorial and as it in some degree discusses the subject on a line which some other newspapers have touched, 1t Is not out of place to comment on it. particularly the latter portion of the article.
 The News appears to doubt. that the purpose of the President, as shown by this appointment. is to fill important offices in the South with good men, as 1t says this can hardly be supposed to be his purpose" because, it argues, the Republican Party in the South really is only kept alive by the hope of Federal pap"
 The obvious inference from this argr- ment is that the President places the con- tinuance of the Republican organization in Alabama, for example, above the good of the public service. In other words. that he would rather i'll the most import ant offices in the South with men unfitted for the place than to do anything which might weaken his Party in this section. or diminish his following. We know that this view is wholly erroneous and that it is unjust to the President He has more than once declared his determination to put only good men in office. and no man has any right to question his sincerity He appointed Governor Jones because he had become convinced that he was better fitted and qualified for the position than

UP IN THE AIR.

The Bessemer Workman has managed to get itself considerably mixed up on the Constitution question. In one place it declares that it neither endorses nor opposes the new instrument" and only a few lines further on it says with equal positivity that "there is no middle ground in the matter; it is either ratification or rejection" If there is no middle ground, and The Workman neither. opposes nor endorses the question, we should decide that our contemporary is up in the air. Otherwise, we fail to sec where it stands.
 We suspect that The Workman is like a few, and very few, other newspapers in Alabama, which are unable to decide which is going to be the winning side in this campaign and they are afraid they'll fall on the losing side. That is not a good or creditable position to take, and some which essayed to balance them- selves on the top-rail have either dis mounted or been shaken off. The Work man may as we'll take position. and if it desires to get on the strong side and the right side at the same time, it will lend its influence to the white mans side of this question and work for ratification. It claims to be an organ of the working people of Alabama and certainly no class is more vatally interested in good gov ernment that are the workers. Let The Workman dismiss all uncertainty and come out for the right. 1t will have no cause to repent of such action.

As a matter of fact, every illiterate
 white man in those counties can register and vote under the old soldier or de- scendant clause. They amount in the az
 gregate to 1.S63 and. added to the others, same as that of the literate negroes; and leaving only one or two counties with majority of literate negroes. Everybody knows that hundreds of these negroes who can read and write-so- -called-can barely write their names after strenuous effort. and other hundreds or thousands of them might, after an hours time, be able to write a sentence. The white H. literates by descent and training are ac- customed to affairs of government and can, as rule, give an intelligent reason for whatever course they wish to pursue while just the opposite is the rule with the colored race generally.
 If we are to stop the practices which, in the past, have been notorious and fragrant and against which a great many people in Alabama lodged objections. We must get all the relief that is in sight and that can possibly be obtained. The total white vote at present in the above fourteen counties is 26,6SO, and the total negro vote is 79,311 or three to one. Any provisions of a Constitution which will reduce that proportion until the vote is about even, should certainly commend themselves to every friend of white government in Ala bama. All this dread of the future, put forth by the standardization com bne. is the veriest clap-trap. In Mississippi there are counties with much larger proportion of negro votes as to whites than in any county in Alabama, and yet the poll-tax required has been ample protection without any need for the educational or understanding requirements. Don't be worried over the future of the Black Belt. Under the new Constitution that will be secure. and the above-named fourteen counties will all ways be safe and solid for honest cleo tions and pure government.

A Dying Combine.
Birmingham News

blTIDlHSHdIl NEWS
 State Chairman Vaughan has display ed the color and the teeth of the Re- publican machine in this State. He has not only called his committee to meet in this city on Monday next, but he has boldly announced that committee will foist campaign of standardization. Non- machine Republicans admit that the party is opposed to ratification, but ex- press regret that the Republican State Committee has been called together, stat ing that notice of Republican opposition to ratification will cement the Democrats in support of the new document. The latter are prophets.
 The negroes took a stand against the new Constitution two weeks ago. They expressed their powerlessness in the mat ter said something about remaining from the polls awaiting the issue of the fight between the white men and extended the threat that in the event of the adop- ton of the new Constitution, they would appeal to the Federal Supreme Court and might leave the State in bunch. They will not leave Alabama of course, but their declaration is sufficient to show how they feel with reference to the new Con- stitution.
 It remains that the negroes and the Republican machine are against ratifca- ton of the new Constitution and that they will present an organized fight against ratification. Will the white Democrats of Alabama fail to resist that conspiracy or to sweep the combination forever from Alabama politics? They will certainly avail themselves of the opportunity of doing away with these black and white fellowships and put the suffrage in the hands of the white people of the State. where 1t should always have been.
 The present Republican party as con- stituted in Alabama today and as 1t has been for years, is doomed upon ratifica- ton of the new Constitution. The inn portance of the ignorant negro masses in Alabama politics, as it exists today, Is doomed under ratification of the new Constitution. The union between the anti-Democratic white man and the Re- publican negro is doomed under ratifica- tion of the new Constitution. An unholy alliance of dangerous and menacing poli- tical influences is doomed under ratifi- cation of the new Constitution.
 And for these and many other reasons ratification is going to win.

 The William l.. Wilson Memorial Fund" to establish a chair of political economy in the University of Virginia, has had already $74,57S subscribed, of which $3S, $50 is in bank. The sum asked for is $100,00O, and Hr. Herbert Welsh of Philadelphia, who has the matter in charge, urges as important that the whole sum of $1O0,0 900 be completed by the first of January, since $1O,0Oo of the amount already subscribed is conditional on that being accomplished. Southern universities and colleges deserve a larger share of the attention of generous capi- talists. Washington and Lee has special claims which Mir. Welch states in detail. Our great Northern and Western univer- sities are today" he adds, 'the objects of unprecedented benevolent generosity; they should have no less than they get but such an institution as Washington and Lee should have infinitely more than it receives. It will get it if our generous men and women. North and South, appre- ciate its possibilities and see clearly the work that it is doing It's traditions are noble and inspiring and constantly exert an elevating influence on the minds of it's students" A chair in any college named for the late William L. Wilson would be an honor to the institution.

Another Trust in Trouble.

Ildillpih 'CuII'J llHleS
 To the list of trusts that are accumu- latlng trouble" the glucose trust is now to be added This is a concern with nearly sl4,000.0O0 of preferred stock, on which per cent dividends are paid, and some $24,000000 of common stock, which has been receiving 6 per cent dividends. Last year the net earnings were over s3,000,000, and this year they are $432, 469 less leaving a deficit, after paying the dividends, of $272673. As glucose Is made from corn and as the high price of corn has caused large curtailment of opera tions during the past two months, the prospects are that the payment of divi- dends after this year on the common stock must be suspended.

He Did Right.

Chattanooga Times.
 If there was no Republican in Alabama fit for the place, the President has done right in appointing a Democrat to fill the existing Yacancy.-knoXville Journal and Tribune.
 Why make a political qualification? President Roosevelt has chosen a man in accord with the political sentiments of the people to be represented on the bench, and he shows himself to be better than his party when he appoints the man and not his politics to an office. Of course it doesn't agree with the spoilsmans idea nf executive duty, but then it is the American idea and Roosevelt is an Amer iCan all over.

In every way possible, the rights and interests of the people are closely guarded by the new Constitution. If a court house question comes up, it Is to be de- cided in a legal and decent way. and not by the dark and devious methods which were used in the last Legislature. If bonds are to be issued. there must be a vote of approval before it can be done Boards of Aldermen and Revenue and County Commissioners will have check of the tightest kind put upon them when the new Constitution Is adopted.

 The corrections" which the log of the Brooklyn underwent is a pretty ironic comment on the assumption of the naval man that his word Is much better than his bond. Admiral Dewey the other day leveled what looked very much like a sheer at the special correspondent. and yet the unofficial reports will stand the test better than the official logs and the official maps In the premises 1t would seem that the naval hauteur has little to lean on when it comes to the historic accuracy of the service reports.

History Repeats Itself.

UniOntOwn Herald,
 A paper asks what the anti-constitution leaders hope to gain by their opposition to the manifest will of the people. Another journal remarks that these same leaders have nothing to lose and every thing to gain by such movement. thus intimating that the anti-rats were back numbers in politics. The latter point Is we'll taken, and are reminded that his- tory repeats itseiIf. Away back in old times there were poor fellows who fell unto the Samaritans with the hope of being saved alive.
