CORPORATIONS COMMITTEE
Meeting Held Last Night--Some In formal Discussion, But No De-
 finite Action.

A meeting of the Committee on Cor porations of the Constitutional Conven- ton was held last night in the office of Capt. F. A. GrahaT on Commerce. Street. Several members of the com mittee. were absent and after an in- formal discussion of matters relating to corporations the committe adjourned without t. king any definite action.
 Soon after the committee met. Gen. George P. Harrison of Lee read an ed- itorial which appeared in The Adver- tiser yesterday morning in which the statement was made that at Its last meeting the committe adjourned be- cause it was feared that final action would be taken upon the anti-free rass question.
 The chairman said that In view of the fac. that this statement was er- rere reous he should like to know if the information came from any member of the committee. There was no ie- spcnse. The chairman then said that he had been informed that the informa- ton came from a certain member oi the committee, naming him. This member of the committee denied tha: he had made the statement. but sug- gested that probably 1t had grown out of a conversation which he had with another delegate to the Convention. mol member of the committee.
 Gen. Harrison said that the meet ings of the committee were open to representatives of the newspapers and they would be welcomed to all future metings.
 The committee will meet again next Tuesday evening at $40 o'clock in the office of Captain Graham and 1t is ex- pected that one or more delegations will be present to urge various subjects upon the committee.

PETITION FOR CAUCUS
SUFFRAGE ARTICLE TO BE CON-
 SIDERED BY DEMOCRATS.
Effort Will Be Made to Make Il Special Order, Although Dele gates Claim This is Not
 the Purpose.

. During the morning session of the Constitutional Convention yesterday. Hon. Robert J. Lowe of Jefferson. Chairman of the Democratic caucus. gave notice that in response to a re- quest from a number of delegates. a caucus of the Democratic delegates would be held in the Hall of the House of Representatives Monday evening.
 It is understood that the call was announced as the result of a petition signed by sixty-three members of the Convention and that Hon. J. F. Thomp- son of Bibb. was the promoter of the petition.
 While the ostensIble purpose of the caucus is to adopt some means where by the debate on the Suffrage Article will not be made public the real pur- pose of the caucus is said to be to pledge the caucus to support a move ment to have a speedy consideration of the suffrage question.
 The plea has been made to num- Der of delegates that unless the con- servative delegates formulate some plan to choke off the minority report which is opposed to what is known as the grandfather clause" some of the speeches on the supJect will be intem- perate and will serve no good purpose. It has been urged that the caucus may even go so far as to agree to consider this article behind closed doors in Com" mittee of the Whole and thus shut out the stenographic report.
 There are members who signed the petition believing this to be the pur- pose of the caucus and it is said that when some of the signers learned that the real purpose of the caucus was to make the Suffrage Article a special order they asked that their names be stricken from the petition.
 One delegate who said he regretted that he had signed the petition, said last night he feared that 1t was a movement on the part of representa- tives of the corporations to bring the Convention to a speedy termination in the hope that important matters which were opposed by the corporations would not come up for consideration. Tt is doubtful" he said. If 1t would be wise to discuss the suffrage ques- ton behind closed doors and it would be extremely unwise to make the Suf- frage Article special order until oth- CT equally important questions have been passed upon"
 More than one delegate said last night that he would not attend the eau GUS and that he hoped no radical ac- tion would be taken.
 It was said last night that it is very probable that prominent Democrats who are not members of the Conven- ton will be called into consultation on the subject and that there Is a proba- bility that Senator Pettus will be in Montgomery today.

THE SUFFRAGE PLAN.
A Letter Opposing the Majority Re.
 port.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The majority of the Committee on Suffrage has come to the front of the stage and has spoken its little piece; and the press and people of Alabama have passed up the boQuets-boquets of a contemplative and somewhat dis trustful silence.
 With an oppressive unanimity of in. difference, the audience. from the orchestra chairs to the family circle has relapsed into the diversions of the tinkling tumbler and the revolvin.. fan: and, under the spell of genuine beverages and artificial breezes, it awaits from the chief spokesman the story of the romance and the wonder o fthe report.
 There are some who suspect that in addition to such qualities, the re port Is a medley of obscuration. be. fustication. and fraud. The decen negro who has never voted, but wh. ought to vote, and the white man whl has always voted, but who ought nevef to vote, seem equally anxious. Per- haps the latter (entirely without reason) is the more anxious of the two. There is/one man, at least, who seems thoroughly satisfied. He is the man who has always cast not only his own vote. but the votes of all his negroes diving and dead.)
 It is a marvellous report in spite of the chunks of reluctant acquiescence which have been thrown to 1t over the footlights. Before exhausting the posA abilities of constitutional @ subter- fuge. 1t begins with the old soldier: and it lays upon him that touch of calcu- lating flattery which is the soul of in- suit. In the scheme of preliminary registration the report provides for the admission of all adult males ''of good character, who understand the duties and obligations of citizenship under a republican form of government. But the committee seem to assume that the old soldier and his descendants could not register under that provision They imply that the old soldiers of Alabama. and the descendants of such soldiers, could not qualify as men "of good character who understand the duties of citizenship" Therefore, in con formity with this assumption. a special constitutional provision must be put Into the organic law of the State, for their peculiar benefit. And this is sup posed to be honor for the soldier!
 And then comes the scheme of pre-

attitude not leader but follower. Their
idea seems to be that a leader should be
utterly Indifferent to public opinion except
as he himself is able to dictate It. What do
the people know about important public
questions? Why do they elect President
but to secure a man competent to run
things? And when they have made their
choice, why SHOULD the man chosen hesitate
at any time about his course; or seek coun-
sci on the subject?
Could q more mistaken view prevail as to
leadership in a government where the peo-
pie are the source of all power? Would real
leadership be possible in President who
accepted his office as comforting bossship? !?
How could he lead the people II he neither
knew nor cared what their views were on
questions as they arose? Would he long
have any support at all If he assumed that
he was competent singlehanded to admins
ter the affairs Of the government? Would
not boss In the White House soon find
himself without party behind him, or the
power to do even the good he meditated?
Leadership, as Mr. Vest says, Is a rare
talent. To confound 1t with mere self
assertion or aggressiveness Is to go wholly
astray. 1t Is much oftener allied with pa
thence, federation. diplomacy, and conces-
sion. The man who cannot follow is never
fitted to lead, and never succeeds In lead
ing. He may attempt to show the way, and
may draw his whip and order everybody
into line behind him, but a following he Is
certain not to have. He speedily discovers
his own limitations, and the limitlessness Of
those whose opinions he despises.

Anticipating Sentiment,

from the New York Herald.
An encouraging aspect Of the lynching
epidemic In the south Is the growing senti-
ment Of condemnation 1t is evoking Not
only have governors boldly called for the
enforcement Of the law and judges charged
grand juries to indict the offenders, but
plucky sheriffs have faced the mob with q
heroic determination that has made rioters
quail, and in one instance at least a lyncher
has been convicted by jury Of murder In
the first degree. In addition to all this is
the outspoken denunciation of the barbar-
ity by many papers. There is not a rep
utable journal In this section" says the
Chattanooga Times that does not refer
to these outbreaks OF lawlessness in the
language Of reproof. condemnation, de-
nunciation."
When the sentiment of the community
against lynching and the determination OF
the authorities. from the governor down to
peace officers and Jurors, to enforce the
law become general the barbarous practice
will be doomed. There may be, and in fact
are, occasional riotous outbreaks In any
and every community however law abiding
or law respecting. But such outbreaks
cannot occur with deplorable frequency and
be characterized by savage brutality
wherever they are emphatically condemned
by popular sentiment and promptly pun.
ished by criminal law. The awakening and
spreading Of southern sentiment against
the outrages Is a promising sign for the
south and to be hailed with satisfa ction
by the entire country.
