Another Cup Race Today.

Saturdays race was exciting, but not reassuring. It is anybody's race today. and Aeolus is the umpire. America scored on Saturday, but the margin was too narrow to admit of a great deal of preliminary growing, and 1t is always best to do the growing when one is out of the wash as well as the woods.
 The Cup has been in this country 8 long time. and all sportsmen will agree that the present contest should not | be confined to winds that will not fl sails. Let us hope today's race will be sailed in a satisfactory wind-in z | flfteen-knot breeze at least. Mere passing puffs of wind do not afford the sport that sportsmen desire. The two yachts are wonderfully we'll matched -so well that the skill of the shippers will perhaps decide any race between them, be the wind light or strong.
 There is great sport ahead. It is plain that better racing boat has never crossed the sea as challenger than Shamrock II, and if the wind be free the best race of the long series may be expected.
 Captain Barr of the Columbia need not abate his skill in sailing, but nc one desires to see him do anything that is open to just criticism. An in ternational event should be free from >jockeying of any sort.

;. WHAT ANARCHISTS BELIEVE.

Correspondent of the London Times
 They hold that there Is no moral law, natural or revealed, and, therefore, that every individual is entitled to be a law unto himself. Granting the premise the conclusion seems irresistible. No majori- ty of citizens. however large. can create a moral right. It can pass municipal laws. and, subject to certain limitations these laws may bind in conscience men who believe that all civil power is of Di- vine ordinance. But local and temporary majorities have often made or approved laws in fragrant contradiction with the most elementary conceptions of right, while the sacredness sometimes ascribed from the moral judgments of mankind, semper ct ubique depends on the view that emanates from the universal con- science and that the voice of conscience Is superhuman.
 The anarchist rejects this view. He denies any supernatural government of the world. and therefore, he denies, very consiste ently, the moral right of any power whatever to fetter his individual judgment of individual will. All attempts to curb him in the free indulgence of his individual lusts and passions are in his eyes oppression. The fundamental laws on which society rests are to him tyrannical abuses for which the majority seek to limit the boundless license which Is the birthright of every man born into this world. It is Idle to tell him that those laws are supported by vast majori- ties. He answers that majorities. how ever vast. are mere synonyms for superior force. that he personally disapproves of the state of society which these laws have created and which they maintain and that he has an innate right to assail that state by any means he chooses. His practical conclusion Is appalling. but 1t seems to me to follow quite reasonably from his premises; and. as those premises are consciously or half-consciously held by thousands in all ranks of society, I fear that we are likely to hear more of him in the future.

MIR. ROOSEVELT THE WRITER.

From the New York Times
 For man not yet 43 the output of Theodore Roosevelt as writer is large He is barely 20 years out of college, and of these he has spent Is in active and laborious public service. A man who has been a member Of the Legislature, civil service commissioner, president of the police board of New Yerk, assistant secretary of the navy. lieutenant-col- onel in active service. Governor of the State of New York. Vice President and President of the United States, all with in a score of years, Is hardly to be expected to have acquired much literary baggage" But in that period MT. Roose- welt has published a half dozen series works in history and in biography, three original works on hunting and ranch life and a considerable number of essays, some of them of an extremely careful and permanently valuable character
 Had he done nothing but write his fasf cinating hunting books-and lived through the experiences they relate in so simple and winning style-he would prob- ably be more widely known in other lands than any other American save one or two. Had he not obscured his reputa- tion as a historian by his industry in making history he would have a distinct place in the circle of American writers in that field. It remains true, however, that if his life had been less full and &C., tive, his literary work would in all prob- ability have had less value and the value would have been less peculiar

TuskEeEE,s FINANCES.

Booker T. Washington in Frank Leslie's
 Popular Monthly. sd 5au
 I think no one can come to Tuskegee and not say that the work which we are doing there is practical one. We have the opportunity and the agents to do the work. All that we need is the money to supply us with materials. The students pay. as have said, s10 month, either in money or work. for their board and iodg- ing but the tutition of $50 year. few. if any of them. can afford to pay as yet Where money is given for buildings, prac- tically all of it can be applied to the pur- chase of materials, since the students do all the work. The current expenses of the school are about s100,000 year. TAe State of Alabama allows s4500 a year fo- ward the support of the school. ana about sl2,O00 comes annually from the slfiter fund. The greater portion of the rest of the money needed must be secured from persons interested in the carrying on of the work. Most earnest effort fs$ con- stantly being made to raise the endow- ment fund to at least t500.0O0 II lis the wish of all intereste. in the institution to have this fund increased 10 an amount so that the income from 1t will relieve the management from he.labor and anx- iety connected with raising fhe large ad- ditional sum necessary each year. The handling of the endowment fund is in the hands of William H. Baldwin. .tr., and J. c. Phelps Stokes of New York

High Price for Meats.

The four big packing houses of Chi cago are acting in unison, and this certainly justifies the belief that a combination has been formed by them. The four are Swift & Co.,, Armour & Co.,; Nelson, Morris & Co.,, and the Cudahy Packing Company. Each and all sell at uniform prices. and the four well-nigh supply the whole coun- try with meats.
 The four firms have advanced beef fully 20 per cent, lamb 20 per cent and pork 40 per cent above the prices of one year ago. Steaks that were sold one year ago in some towns at g cents pound cannot now be sold at less than IA cents, and the retail dealers feel the change in a reduced consump. tion. In a general way the advance in pork has been from 4 to cents, in cured meats from 2h to 31s cents, and in beef cents. The advances in lard and sausage are also very heavy.
 The upward changes are attributed to the partial failure of the corn crop but it is thought by some that the crop failure is assisted by either a scarcity of animals, or by a combination among the four great dealers in Chicago. It is well known that the four dealers have common prices-that when one marks up prices all do, and there Is growing belief that beef trust has been formed which is as effectual in its field as the steel trust is in the rail market. All know that steel rails do not cost BPS ton, and yet the price is maintained respite all figures of cost. So it may be in the meat trade At any rate meats are becoming so high in price that the rich only can afford to buy them.

THE ADMINISTRATION MANI

Washington Letter to Philadelphia
 Times.
 One name that looms up in the calcu- lations of many as Mir. Roosevelt's closest political adviser and friend is Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. What Senator Hanna was to President Mckinley it is expected that Senator Lodge will be to President Roosevelt. He has been picked out as being the administration man. in the new regime. Contrary to general gossip 1t is not probable that President Roosevelt will ask Senator Lodge to leave the Senate to become his secretary of state. MT. Cleveland made the grave error of taking from the Senate his strongest champion. thus leaving himself with out representative or friend in the body. which is almost always, secretly or op- eniy, antagonistic to the President.
 Mir. Lodge will now more likely realize the ambition of his career, namely, to becbme the chairman of the great com mittee on foreign relations the post which MT. Hanna and the other McKin- ley administration Senators had pointedly denied him. Therefore. it can be laid down as an almost certainty that Sem ator Lodge will not give up his seat in Jthe United States Senate to become member of President Roosevelts cabinet. He will remain in the Senate and act as an administration man on the floor where his worth to his chief can be put to much better advantage. While the Sena- tor may not be the power with President Roosevelt that Senator Hanna was with MT. Mckinley. he will be just as close to the new President as any man in pub- lie life, and will in some measure act as a confldntial adviser to President Roose- welt.

MRS. RoosEvELT,s PoEMs.

From the New York Tribune.
 The literary prociivities of President Roosevelt are shared by his wife, who has published, for private circulation, a volume of poems that are said to show a great deal of talent.
 "She knows almost as much about poll tics as the President and keeps posted on public affairs in Europe as we'll" said a friend yesterday, in speaking of Mrs. Roosevelt, adding, "and at her official receptions she will be able to chat in their own language with half the ambas- sadors there"
 Mrs. Roosevelt Is a good horsewoman, but not at all athletic; nor does she favor women's clubs. Strong pressure was brought to bear upon her before their last election to become president general of the Daughters of the American Revo- lution, but she refused. The only socie- ty in which she takes a personal inter est is the Mothers Association of New York State. of which she Is member. President Roosevelt is on the advisory board of the National Association of Mothers.

HOHENLiNDEN.

By Thomas Campbell. On Linden, when the sun was low, All bloodless lay the untrodden snow, And dark as winter was the flow
 Of Iser. rolling rapidly. But Linden saw another sight When the drum beat at dead of night, Commanding fires of death to light
 The darkness of her scenery. By torch and trumpet fast arrayed, Each horseman drew his battle blade And furious every charger neighed,
 To join the dreadful revelry. Then shook the hills with thunder riveu Then rushed the steed to battle driven. And louder than the bolts of heaven
 Far flashed the red artillery. But redder yet that light shall glow On Linden's hill of stained snow. And bloodier yet the torrent flow
 Of Iser, rolling rapidly. Iris morn, but scarce yon level sun Can pierce the war-clouds. rolling dun Where furious Frank and fiery Hun
 Shout in their sulphurous canopy. The combat deepens. On ye brave. g Who rush to glory or the grave! Wave, Munich! all thy banners wave!
 And charge with all thy chivalry! Few, few shall part where many meet: The snow shall be their winding-sheet, And every turf beneath their feet

SIR THMoAs LiPToN's CAREER.
Has Never Made a Failure, Except In
 Attempt to Lift Cup.
From the Baltimore News.

From the Baltimore News.
 From stoaway boy to a merchant prince Is the record of Sir Thomas Lip ton. He was born in Glasgow. Scotland. of Irish parents. He worked as mes- senger boy at 61 cents a week. edu- eating himself at night school. He ran away to America at the age of 15, after he had saved money enough to take passage in the steerage. Two years work on a South Carolina farm gave him a good deal of experience. but put no money in his pocket. Grimed with smoke and gasping for breath. he climb ed out of the furnace room of a Charles ton steam CT one morning at the Battery. This was his first view of New York He earned his passage back to Glasgow by shoveling coal.
 Lipton's parents had saved $400. They return, and he went up to London to conquer the commercial world with 1t. With the money Lipton started in busi- ness.
 In his small general store he was pro- prietor, clerk, bookkeeper and messenger. Business grew and he opened another shop. Lipton declares that for years he worked twenty-four hours out of twenty four. Today he Is a ulti-millionaire. He owns APO stores in England alone.
 He was first brought to the favorable attention of the royal family in England by his gift to the Princess of Wales jubilee dinner The Princess undertook to set a free dinner during the Queens jubilee to all the poor in London. The project was upon the point of failure for lack of funds. Lipton came forward with a gift of s125oOo and saved the day. The Prince of Wales, fin need of ready money, sold his yacht Britannia. Lip ton bought 1t and presented 1t again to the Prince. Upon various occasions, it is said, he was able to be helpful in this manner. He was knighted among others at the close of the Queens jubilee. He ranks now as a favored friend of King Edward

Crop Adyices and Cotton Prices

The visible supply was smaller than it was one year ago, and yet middling cotton is selling at cents, or about cents below the price of year ago. The statistical position is stronger, and prices lower.
 This is doubtless due to the fact that foreign spinners have been told that the crop will exceed that of last year-that 1t will be at least eleven million bales. The producers on the other hand think the crop will be be- LOW ten million bales. Here is a dis crepancy that goes far to explain the slow movement of the crop, and the want of orders from foreign spinners. The producers and the spinners are at least a million bales apart in their respective estimates. Such discrep- ancies are not unusual at this season of the year.
 The Age-Herald again urges it's read CTS to hold their cotton for a minimum of eight cents. Do not accept frac- tion less for it. It will bring that price at least when the truth as to deterioration becomes known, as it soon will. The Southern farmers are in better position to hold back their
 
 cotton than they have been since the civil war. and a little judicious hold ing in October will open the eyes of foreign spinners, and establish a fair price for the crop. The foreign spin- nor is waiting. He is withholding his orders. Let the producers try like tactics. Let them wait thirty days for Q satisfactory price.
 There is one fact to be kept in mind the supplies in spinners' hands across the sea are down to the shut down point. They must soon have cotton. They dare not shut down, for that would be confession of the bare state of the market, and they will be compelled to place orders. It is the British spinner who is standing out.

were fellow pupils of Mrs. Comstock's school in West Fortieth street New York and were inseparable compositions Miss Carow was on terms of intimacy with the Roosevelt family. and before young Theodore went to college he was accused by his family of entertaining more than platonic love for his sisters friend. Dur ing his college days and after he seldom met Miss Carow. Then came his marriage to Miss Alice Lee of Boston, which was followed so shortly by her death. Three years afterwards he again met Miss Ca- row at his home. and was immediately attracted by her intellectuality and charming presence. They suddenly dis covered that they were in love, and to the amazement of both families announced their engagement. Miss Carow went to visit friends in London shortly after wards She was followed by her impetu- ous lover and they decided to be married at once. MT. Roosevelt is the only Presi- dent of the United States who married abroad.

No increase in Courts.

The Mobile Register explains with opening the door wider to more courts and more officials and more expenses the convention closed the door, or at least obstructed the way to it in im- portant respects. Tn order to under stand the truth of the matter it is necessary to place the Old and the New side by side. Here is the pro vision in the Old:
 Article i, section 1. The judicial power of the state shall be vested in the Senate acting as a court of impeachment, su- preme court, circuit courts, chancery courts, courts of probate, such inferior courts of law any equity to consist of not more than five members. as the General Assembly may from time to time es- tablish. and such persons as may be by law invested with powers of a judicial nature.
 Did the convention enlarge this prac- went on to authorize the Legislature ture? It added this proviso to the sec tion already quoted:
 But no court of general jurisdiction at law or in equity or both shall be estab- lished In and for any county having a population of less than twenty thousand according to the next preceding federal census, and property assessed for taxa ton at less valuation than three mill lions five hundred thousand dollars.
 Nor is this all. The convention wen ton to authorize the Legislature to abolish useless courts, to consoli- date others, and to simplify and mod ernize all.
 In this matter careful comparison of the Old and the New will bring out the truth. The New looks to reduc ton and consolidation. We give sec tion 148:
 The Legislature may confer upon the circuit court or chancery court the juris- diction of both of said courts. In counties having two or more courts of record. the Legislature may provide for the con- soiidation of all or any of such courts of record. except the probate court, with or without separate divisions. and a sui flcient number of judges for the transac- ton of the business of such consolidated court.
 In other words. the Legislature Is now free under the present constitu- tion to establish inferior courts of law and equity without limit, but under the New constitution important re- tion and simplification are authorized and encouraged. Judicial reform is both probable and possible under the New. but it is neither probable nor possible under the Old.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
Citizen of coosa County Writes of New
 Constitution.
Kellyton. september ao.- 1so1.

Kellyton, September 30, 1901 To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 You invite questions in regard to- the constitutional convention work pro and con. l offer the following direct ques- tions and without argument ask for di- rect answers:
 l. If 1t was good, thing to legislate the sheriff two years and three months of office, why wasn't it a better thing to give the same to all other county officers? 2. What became of the mass of petitions sent by the merchants from all over the State asking for real railroad commis- sion? Were they given the slightest con- sideration? If so, by whom and hoy? 3. Does the word "equitably" appear in article 16, on education? In other words does 1t say that all public funds shall be "equitably' divided between the races etc.?
 {. Suppose a Confederate soldier or his descendant removes to Alabama from some other State after 1902 and has neither education nor $500 worth of prop erty. can he vote?
 D. How much property must a Confed- crate soldier have not to draw pension?

He Is not buying. Let him alone. When he discovers that he has been misinformed as to the size of the crop there will be rush to buy that will put the staple in its rightful position. At any rate hold every bale until cents is offered. Accept no less. A bear panic is much more probable than a bull panic. Between falling rains and coming frosts no one need appre- bend the latter. The former becomes each day more probable.

THE PRESIDENTIAL BELT.

From the Springfield Republican.
 With the exception of Andrew John- son, every President since 1856 has come from the short group of states which follow the southern shore of the great lakes from New York to Illinois, inclu- eive. These five states-New York. Penn sylvania. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois-run in line side by side. New York has furnished Arthur, Cleveland and Roose- welt; Pennsyivaniaf Bucanan: Ohio. Hayes. Garfield and Mckinley; Indiana. Harrison, Illinois, Lincoln and Grant. It may now be fairly called the Presidential belt. and it seems almost hopeless for any one who lives outside of 1t to be- come President of the United States.
