it does know what a great many people
believe, what does that amount TO? Be-
lief does not verify the thing believed.
And as a matter of fact common belief
is full Of error, and it is safe to say
that there are far more people who be-
lieye lies, than there are who accept thu
truth. If it We're otherwise truth |
would be gloriously triumphant; the
herald Of the new heaven and the new |
earth would be near. 1t seems that our |
contemporary cannot understand the DIFF |
ference between belief and knowledge.
We have been trying to show it that
there is quite Il difference between be-
lief and knowledge, but apparntly il
can't see that difference But thnt
would not be a matter of much conSc
quence, if we could only get it to UNDER
and theory of government--that is i'll
politics as elsewhere-that facts must
be proyen--in science the requirement is
lemonstration--before they can be ac-
cepted as facts, and before folks that
love truth and justice will believe and
assert them rs facts. Now We beg leave
to suggest that there is no similarity be-
tween the case alleged Of Mr. Cannon
Of Illinois, and that of Mr. Clark OF
! Montana. 1t would be impossible 10
prove corruption against Mr.. Cannon
until after he had committed the cor
rrpt act. That he hasn't done. 1t would
he impossible, since he declines to be a
senatorial candidate to prove that he in
tended to do anything of the kind. The
suspicion held, the charge made by our
contemporary is therefore the fruit Of
its morbidly inclined ethical perception.
In all the bowling which our contempor-
ary has been doing about this corruption
business. it hasn't proved anything: its
charges are simply matters Of erroneous
hpiief. Either that or the News con,
demns itself out of its own columns. Ii
says:
1t is the business OF every citizen Il

punish wrong-duing i'll the past.
This is another one Of our contempor
ary's wild statements We suggest TO i
that We cannot have any business in tn
future. Duty, if that is what is meant
is thing Of the present entirely. Blu
We think we know what is meant h
what we quoted. Our contemporary
wants to say that it is every citizen
,iuty to use whatever knowledge o
power he may have to prevent wrona

that. But we beg leave to suggest tha

OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD.

From the Bessemer Workman.
 There are number of men in Alabama who have conceived the idea that they are fit successors of Senator Pettus in the United States Senate and not a few of these aspirants believe that their work In the Constitutional Convention has placed them in the Senatorial class, and they are grooming themselves according ay. In the natural course of events 1t Is realized that the able, efficient and pow erful men now representing Alabama in the Senate will have to give way to oth- CTS, for both are old men, and it is not expected that they can serve the State for many more years, but when the time comes to select a successor for either or both of our present Senators, the peo- pie will demand the ablest men in the State. and they will have few men who cannot measure up to the standard.
 Local reputation will be no guarantee of ability and the man who can worthily bear the honors must have a reputation broader than State lines, and the Work man ventures the prediction that Oscar w. Underwood. the gifted, polished, pop ular and able member from the Ninth district in the House of Representatives will be the man selected. Congressman Underwood is a statesman in whom the Democratic party in the country place the utmost confidence. He is a man high in their councils and he has held one of the most important positions in the gift of the minority-that of Democratic whip. On the floor he Is a leader, debator, and | reasoner of power. His influence has already been felt and he Is recognized as one of the foremost men of the South Congressman Underwood Is head and shoulders above some who have their eyes fixed on the Senate and he deserves promotion for his able and conscientious work for his State. He Is undoubtedly the best equipped man in Alabama for Senator, and he would wear the toga with becoming modesty and with ability.
 Young, vigorous and brilliant he would add iuster to the long list of distin- guished men who have been in the Sen ate, and within the borders of Alabama there is not a man who can say that the reputation of the State would not be safe in the hands of MT. Underwood.

What MuI Roosevelt Do !

Beyond the formation of new cab inet, beyond even the search for 1904 delegates, lies the great policy or freedom of trade that the dead Pres ident gave his adhesion to in the last speech of his noble and progressive life. In all principle and In the fullest general sense, he declared that our Chinese wall must be pulled down, and that our isolation behind 1t should be abandoned-that we are one peo- s-ple of many, and that all should trade and live together on just terms. He condemned the robber tariff that in earlier years he would have supported. in plain terms, for he said: "A sys- tenn which provides a mutual ex- change of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued and health ful growth O. our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. If such a tfling were possible it would not be best for us or for those with whom we deal" .,
 This, Is a distinct condemnation of : Dingleyism, and distinct advocacy : of. .freer trade. It condemns President rschwab, who openly boasts that he ,s sells steel products at one price ir Europe and at almost a double price in this country. It condemns th' whole vile brood of trusts who are bat fering: behind the Chinese wall o sDingley-make upon home consumers
 Ii. is a reputation of high protectiv
 tariffs, commercial isolation, and mo nopolies of the sugar sort.
 Will sPresid enI Roosevelt take III this policy and urge 1t upon his party or will he be drawn by the trusts candidate as he is In 1904, back to the Chinese wall policy that nas long gov erned and controlled his party? Will the generous growth of the dead Pres ident be repudiated at the very out 'seta This question exceeds in i'm portance the scramble for place and the contentious of politicians, for this Question affects the welfare of every person in the land. It will brighten or, sadden many a poor home. It is an economic question that touches every consumer, reaches the aggrega- Ilcns of wealth that threaten the re- public, end determines our position in the world. What will the new President do with 1t?

On the other hand, of course, Roosevelt knows that Hanna will get the credit of their retention in office and he may act with this idea in view. Certain ly, the conduct of the two men will be watched with interest and the next few weeks will bring much speculation.
 
 It now develops that the physicians and surgeons are in a wrangle and are ex- plaining the cause of the Presidents death It was the result of gangrene about the wounds in the abdomen; and some of the surgeons advance the theory that the bullets were poisoned.
 Tn discussing the handling of the case last night, prominent Birmingham surgeon said he could not afford to ex- press a professional opinion until full statements of the case were at hand, but he had thought for a week past that the surgeons made a mistake in not leaving the abdominal incision open and draining the wounds He further advanced the opinion that gangrene might have been caused by the bullet carrying particles of clothing with it. He added that the repu- tation of the surgeons who handled tho case were too great for anyone to say they had b1undered-

Shelley, ex-Congressman stallings, and a number of other prominent men have raised the black flag against the adoption of the new constitution.

syIacauqa and It's Progress.

Col J. B. Sanford of Sylacauga was in the city yesterday on legal business. He occupies the enviable position of being the only lawyer in a prosperous town of 12O0 people in this State. Besides this, he Is tax assessor and collector Of the city. Colonel Sanford reports his town as pros porous and growing. Sylacauga is an ex- ception among Alabama towns. With a constitutional and charter right to levy & tax of one-half of one per cent, 1t only levies three-eighths and with this amount derives sufficient funds for all public purposes. The last General Assembly granted the young city the right to issue bonds for the construction of water works and an electric light plant, but the administration is in no hurry just now to begin this work, and will wait for sea- son.
 Colonel Sanford says the people of his section are not fixed in their purpose as to what to do with the new constitution.
 We asked" said he, flor a separate court for our corner of Talladega County, with Sylacauga as the site. Our import ance as the center of wealth and popula- ton was entitled to 1t, we thought, but we were voted out, and we fail to see where we can be particularly benefited ton.

Baseball Next Year.

The season of 1901 Is practically fin ished, and Birmingham is in sixth place. It may possibly be at the end in fifth place; Nashville through thick and . thin; through sharp practice and good ball, is at the top. and Selma is at the bottom, and the latter had team that could on occasion play errorless and : excellent bali. But the record is made up, and it must stand. Mistakes can not be corrected; errors cannot be un- done, for the seasons sport is nearly ended.
 And the season has been so pros porous and so satisfactory to all lov- ers.of the great American game in the South, that all are ready to say there must be baseball in the South again next year.. There will be. But 1t is probable that three non-appreciative towns, namely. Chattanooga, Shreve- port and Selma, will give way to At lanta, Mobile and either Montgomery or Louisville. It Is not thought that Louisville, accustomed as 1t is to games of the big leagues, would at tend games of a minor league, and Montgomery is more likely to take SChattanooga's right, which the latter may be induced to surrender. Selma's privilege is to be transferred to At lanta, leaving Mobile an opportunity to pick up the Shreveport privilege. The league would then consist of New orleans. Mobile, Montgomery, Atlanta, Birmingham. Nashville. Memphis and Little Rock, all well together on fast railroad lines. It is conceded that the Southern League has this season played faster ball than any other minor league. and we believe 1t will maintain this reputation next year.
 We cannot dismiss this subject with aadtSA word in relation to the Birming- ham team. Deserted midway in the season by it's manager. crippled by ac- cident and downright ill-luck, Manager

RESTORING MALMAIsoN.

 La Malmaison which Is so full of mem ories of the Empress Josephine, was bought some time ago by M. Osiris. He has been trying to restore the house to its original state, with view to present. ing 1t to the country as an historical monument. A discovery has just been made which will help him greatly in his attempt One of the keepers of the Na- tional Furniture Depository-that very useful institution, which displayed some of It's riches at the exhibition last year in series of rooms furnished in the style of various epochs-has found the detailed inventory of the furniture of La Malmai- son drawn up at the time of Josephine 8 death. The inventory gives an exact de- scription of all the articles and even the places they occupied. Some colored sketches of the more important pieces have also been discovered.

Cotton Moves Slowly.

prominent planter of South Alabama, who Is also a merchant in one of the cot ton towns, was in the city yesterday Asked as to the condition and movement of the crop he said: Cotton is coming in rather slowly in my town. as the farm CTS do not seem inclined to sell if neces- sity does not compel them to do so. Prices seem to be fiuctuating, with a downward tendency, and they wish to wait. And again, cotton seems to be opening slowly Very little grain has been produced in Alabama this year, and there will hardly be enough for home consumption. Our farmers still seem to think that cotton is the only money crop"

NED BRACE DISCUSSES ROOSEVELT
 AND HIS PROBABLE POLICIES

beat fin the State There are undoubted- ly some bad features in the new consti- tuition, and there arc some good ones. Thousands of voters in Alabama are yet this new constitution. They don't know whether they want to adopt it or vote 1t down. Therefore. they will listen to de- bates with interest.
 This declared war on the constitution makes 1t speculative question as to whether or not the instrument will be adopted by the people of Alabama
 I see 1t announced in one of the New York financial papers that Chairman Bacon of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, will probably recommend the construction of ten additional basic steel furnaces at the Ens1ey plant. I rather think this announcement is premature. It is a fact that the ten tiltins furnaces now in operation at the steed plant have not been successful from financial point of view. The Tennessee Company has not yet made steel at Ensley-including all expenses-at a cheaper price than they have been able to sell 1t for. This has possibly been due to the fact that 1t is a new plant and new people are operating 1t. Several experiments were made in It's construction which were mistakes. and it has not yet been demonstrated that the tilting furnaces are an improvement over the stationary furnace as used by the Carnegie plant. MT. Bacon and other of ficers of the Tennessee Company are now experimenting with these furnaces, and they have announced that unless they prove financially successful that they will be converted into the stationary sort. MT. Bacon has also expressed himself in favor of materially enlarging the plant. The chances are, however, that no definite conclusion will be reached within the present year.
 I am glad to learn that MT. c. B. Comp ton, the present traf1ic manager or the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Is to be promoted to the vice presidency MT. Compton was for many years located ib Birmingham as freight agent of the Louisville and Nashville and has always evidenced great interest in Birmingham and the Birmingham district.

Senator from In- diana, was expelled in 1862 for writing a letter to Jefferson Davis whom he ad- dressed as President of the Confedera- tion of States,'' introducing a man who desired to sell to the Confederate govern ment a new and improved firearm. this fact being mentioned in the letter.
