John Knox and Tomorrow.

Hon. John B. Knox of Anniston came last night to Birmingham from Selma, where he on yesterday attended the fu- neral of his intimate personal friend and close political associate, Hon. Francis l.. Pettus. He will proceed to Anniston this morning.
 MT. Knox is a candidate for the nom- ination as from the state at large for delegate In the constitutional conven- ton, and there Is every prospect that he will succeed; in which case he will be a candidate for the presidency of the convention said one of his Birming- ham friends. "He was nominated for the convention which Governor Johnston pre- vented from being held in 1899, and was then candidate for the presidency. MT. Knox Is a man of great and universally acknowledged ability, and Is cordially es- teemed by all Alabamians as one of their strongest and most trustworthy leaders.
 Saturday, the 9th of March, is the day for the county primaries preparatory to the selection of delegates to the constitu- tional convention" i..

San UIIman.

The voters of Jefferson County who desire to see school questions in the constitutional convention handled for the good of the greatest number should vote for men who will vote in turn for Samuel Ullman. For no one understands school questions better than he does, and no one is better fitted to impress broad and wise views upon the convention better than he is. He has the courage of his convic- lions. He believes in public educa- tion, and he is friend first, last and always of the barefoot boys and girls of the State.
 Unless the voters tomorrow make their wishes known-unless they se- leet men who will vote for MT. Ull- man-he will not be nominated. He is not a politician. He will not seek the office of delegate, or any other office. He served the city on the board of education seventeen years without pay, building up fine system of schools. and he will accept appoint ment to the convention, but he will not seek it.
 The question before the people is this, shall such a man be ignored by whom they are indebted or expect to oe indebted? This is the question ex- actly and plainly, and its decision will be before the people tomorrow in this county.

MILLIONS S
Made By the Man Who First Started
 the System of Tea Stores.

From New York Special Chicago Tribune
 George Francis Gilman. of the system of the Great Atlantic and Pacific tea stores throughout the United Staes, died suddenly at his residence near Bridge port, Conn, from an acute attack of Bright's disease at o'clock this morn ing. He was 75 years old, and Is re- ported to be worth ss0, OOO OOO. MT Gilman had been i'll only a few days, and had refused to have any of the attendants in his home send for physician. He prided himself his good health, and he had an inordinate aversion to the idea of sickness and death.
 MT. Gilman was born in Waterville Me, in 1926. His wife died six years ago. and his nearest surviving relatives are a brother and nephew in this city. He was a most eccentric character and the wealthiest resident and most lavish en- tertainer In Fairfield County. Many noted New Workers will remember him, for he handsome residence in Black Rock re- veals some of his eccentric characteris- tics. There are no bells or knockers at any of the entrances There are no clocks in the house, for time was nothing to MT Gilman. His aversion to the subject of death was so pronounced that he re- fused positively to talk or read about 1t. If he met a funeral on his drives about the country he would turn about so as not to pass it. He would not ride on a train on which there was coffin.
 It Is presumed that his death will not interrupt the system of tea stores throughout the country. One of his busi- ness methods was that each of his 2S5 stores was to send him a one-dollar bill each day.

HOBSON'S BIG JUMP.

Washington Cor. Chicago Times.
 Some unusual results attend the promo tion of Naval Constructor Hobson, the hero of Santiago harbor He becomes the highest ranking officer in the service, con sidering his age and length of service. He has jumped from the grade of lieu tenant to that of captain, which equals in uncommon advancement the army pro- motion of Captain Bell to be brigadier general. He shortly will be senior officer of the construction corps and remain in the position for long period blocking at least ten officers who have seen more service. Hobson does not secure much higher pay, however, as his pay is de- termined by longevity, and in his case the increase will not amount to more than $500 per annum

Mrs. Tallaferro, who is charitably inclined person, 'rummaged' around to find something for sale for the benefit of the Evanston Hospital, and in her "rummaging" came upon an old painting which had lain in the garret for several years.

CAN'T CHEW PLUG.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Men who work among iron cannot chew hard tobacco. They have to restrict themselves to fine-cut. Many persons know this to be the truth, but no one can give a philosophical reason for it. At the Pencoyd Iron Works said James Lord Bern, an electrical engineer there. i've chew some 375 pounds of tobacco a week, and some 1s,50O pounds, or nearly ten tons, In year. This Is all fine-cut. A man may have been an inveterate chew of hard or plug, tobacco for decade, but as soon as he gets Job here among the Pencoyd iron he shakes the plug and takes up the fine-cut. It is the same in the New bold Iron Works at Norrstown, and I am informed by a newspaper writ CT that 1t is the same at the Cambria Iron Works and many other places don't know why it should be so but chew of hard tobacco makes an iron worker sick"

may join them, but there will be five Republicans who will uphold the Re publican imperial administration.
 The tariff of the Philippine Commits sion is especially obnoxious to Ameri- can ideas as expressed in the consti- tuition, for it levies export taxes, which are especially prohibited in that once revered instrument. In import duties the Standard oil is especially favored, and so is the rubber trust, and also the beef trust. and a whole lot of trusts are served by a sweepstake clause 'of goods not elsewhere pro- yided for" The hands of the trusts are everywhere visible in this admin istration, even in the distant Philip pines
 But the chief importance of the new Philippine tariff consists in the fact that it was carefully constructed under doubtless underground knowl- edge of the forthcoming decision of the United States Supreme Court. It is as good as settled that a permanent colonial policy is to be established The people have so voted, and the peo- pie should have what they want. How long they will want it cannot now be foreseen, but the rush of carpet-bag officials to the new colonies will soon explain the milk these cocoanuts.

Pensacola and Florida.

East and South Florida are begin ming to abuse West Florida because it desires to leave the former and join it's fortunes to it's natural neighbors in Alabama-beeause it thinks the Chattahoochee should continue to be the boundary of Alabama to the sea. Nothing Is more natural, more geo. graphical, more consistent, or more reasonable. And yet South and East Florida are angry. The Jacksonville Times Union quotes approyingly these words of the Tampa Times:
 Pensacola harbor has received more aid from the government than any other har- bor on the entire coast of Florida, and yet Tampa pays more money into the public treasury in one year than Pensacola does in ten The Pensacola papers boast of depth of thrity-three feet of water on the bar at mean low tide This has been secured through government aid, and the ports great business has been built up on account of it. The complaint of the News Is unwarranted and unjust to Florida 8 delegation In Congress.
 This relates to Congressional appro- priations, and not to the injustice of governing West Florida without the consent of the governed. If West Florida is ever detached from Florida and annexed to Alabama, it will be done because the spirit of the i'm mortal Declaration of Independence is still living force. The consent of the governed Is confessedly outraged at present by the keeping of West Florida west of the Chattahoochee river subservient to East and South Florida Such tyranny is not compli- mentary to those sections, nor Is en- forced government in West Florida good policy. It is a wild violation of american institutions. and American love of self-government and home rule. Government should be based on the consent of the governed. It is not in West Florida.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Delaware Without a Senator.

Senator Kenney went out of the Senate on March 4, and his colleague went out of 1t three years ago, and Delaware is absolutely unrepresented in the executive session of the Senate. She evidently prefers to be unrepre- scented if she must be represented by Gas Addicks and a colleague chosen by him only Misrepresentation is better than Addicks and Addicksism.
 The Legislature of Delaware will adjourn today sine die, and the Sen ate will have to reverse its rulings in the Quay case. and several other cases if it permits the Republican Governor of Delaware to fill the vacan- cies
 A desperate effort will be made no doubt today to elect Addicks at any rate. A bargain of some kind will be attempted. MT. Hanna has said there must be an election of two Republican Senators, and that he had no objec- tions to MT. Addicks. He certainly has not He is engaged in politics in dickering and dealing with several hundred of just such men-of men who are in politics as an accessory to their money-making schemes. He brings the trusts into line. This is his work and Addicks, disreputable as he is, is the kind of man Hanna seeks and uses.
 The honest Republicans of Delaware are standing out against Addicks, and not Democrat has been purchased. The story of today will complete an extraordinary contest.

Killed Most Important Bill.

From the Alabama Courier (Athens)
 The Legislature killed the most impor- tant bill that was before 1t in its closing days, a bill that would have saved to the poor people of the State who are trying to educate their children thousands of dollars It was known as the uniform school book bill, and was defeated by a lobby of the book trust, who could not afford for the bill to become law, for it would mean to them a loss of thousands of dollars. Tennessee has this bill, and a book that costs in that State 40 cents, is sold to the hard-worked and over-taxed farmers of Alabama for $1, and the book seller makes no more profit on the sale than his competitor in Tennessee Then, too, the children of this State have to have new books every time they change teachers, and instead of the younger child being able to take up the book laid down by the older one, this book Is thrown away and another of a different character and make Is purchased for the little fellow who possibly has to go half shod to school in order that the great book trust may have its books forced up-

TRICKS TO KEEP ORDER.

Ruppert IT the jolly quartette will adjourn to the cloak-room and finish its discussion will furnish the cigars"
 The four members silently fled out and the Speaker sent them four fine cigars Before they had finished smoking they became interested in the debate, walked back O. the floor and began talking again. Then the Speaker sent Ruppert another note, reading: Agreement not being kept"

SENATE DOES TTAKE TO
 PROPOSED CLOTURE RULE
BY ALBERT HALsTEAD.

Washington, March 7.-(Special.) )-The resolution introduced by Senator Platt of Connecticut. providing for a cloture rule for the Senate, will arouse a great deal of discussion at the present extra session of the Senate, but there Is no probability Of any action Just now. Vice President Roosevelt believes that something should be done In this direction and the weight of his influence will be used to secure cloture In this connection, 1t is to be remembered, that the Senate is Jealous Of its traditions and the average Senator, sno matter how great his admiration or respect for the Vice President may be, would resent an attempt on his part to secure any change In the Senate rules. MT. Roosevelt is not likely to enter into a campaign for such a change, but he will probably indirectly do what he can to achieve that result. Senator Platt of Connecticut, who presented the resolu- tion. and Senator Aldrich who holds sin
 lar views are not expected to press the matter very earnestly just now The purpose that MT. Platt had in mind was to call attention to such a change.
 As matter of fact the proposed change Is not very drastic and. while effective in lessenlng f1libustering, 1t would not curtail debate to any very great degree. As matters now stand so long a Sena
 tor wishes to speak 1t is not in order to put vote, unless there has been a pre- vious unanimous agreement fixing such time. No other legislative body permits such latitude, and such abuses of debate. All Mir. Platt has in view is to have pro- vision made that when any question has beeen debated for a reasonable time" 1t Is in order for a Senator to demand that the debate shall close. Then if majority of the Senators present second this demand the question shall be taken without debate. Should the Senate then decide to close debate, the measure under consideration takes precedence over all other business and the question is to be put. each Senator, however, having thir
 tyminutes to speak, but not more than

Philippine Tariff Bill.

It should be remembered that Wash ington and Manila are in daily com munication, a cable line making them near neighbors in some respects. And when the Philippine Lord High Com missioners proceed to impose in an ukase a tariff directly in the teeth of the constitution the presumption is that it was ordered done from Wash ington.
 This means that the administration knows what the Supreme Court will decide in the cases already argued, but in which decisions are for some reason withheld. It is therefore req sonable to presume that the Supreme Court will at some time declare both Porto Rico and the Philippines colo nies. The three Democrats in the nine that make up the court may dissent, and some independent Republican
