1t can lay its hands on to restore Its fortunes would be amusing If 1t were not so humillating A few days ago the Democracy was exulting in the certainty that the entertainment of an Afro-Amer- ican at the White House meant the cer- tain overthrow of the Republican Party in 1904.
 Admiral Schley, a man wholly without civic training, goes on the stand at Washington and tells an interesting story of the naval engagement in Santiago Bay, which creates considerable senti- ment in his favor. The Democratic poll iticians immediately become excited ana fsncy they have discovered an invinc- ible standard-bearer.
 Theso sudden impulses are never con- nected in the remotest way with anything resembling fixed principles or sincere purposes. These are merely the eDul- ltions of party expediency and the man. ifestations of political hunger.
 It seems to have come to the pass that tho only incentive to zeal or activity m the Democratic Party Is some chance circumstance which 1t is fancied by its politicians may be used to cripple the opposition. The question is not what may the Democratic Party do to advance the welfare of the country, but what means can it devise and employ Tor wrestling from the Republican organiza- ton the control of the Government! .
 And the most hopeless part or It all is that nothing which has befallen the Democracy through this lack of loyalty to principle and integrity-not poor old Horace Greeley, nor Hancock, nor Bry- an. nor anything else-has ever taught IL any better.

STILL ROUTING.

It Is really useless to agree with The Bessemer Workman. for it Is so "sot in its ways" that nothing but the direct in- tervention of higher power can change it. apparently. Nevertheless, we shall make two extracts from its last issue, so that our readers may see how like pouting child it is: Here they are:
 The Montgomery Advertiser says the opposition If The Workman to ratifica- tion is childish. Now The Advertiser does not know the situation at all and 1t is useless for us to take a column of space to explain it. suffice it to say that BcssemlI',; fight is purely against the Birmingham political ring and there Is no better time to make ten strike We hope to cripple that ring If possible and our fight is inside party lines and inside Jefferson County. It will not effect the result either way. The Advertiser can neither convince us we are wrong nor convert us to its way of thinking.
 And this:
 With the full knowledge that Besse. mer's vote cannot change the general re. suit our people will show to the State that they have the self-respect to protest against the wrongs done them by the convention at the instance of the Birm- nigham delegates. three of whom Messrs White. Selheimer and ONeil. were pledged before the nomination to support the new county measure and secured the vote of Bessemer and this end of the county by reason of those pledges.
 With the charges against the Jefferson delegation we have nothing to do. Whether they violated their pledges or failed to carry out their promises Is a matter for them to settle. but the posi- tior of The Workman Is thoroughly un- tenable. In order to punish some real or fancied ring in Birmingham. our contem- porary would have all the Democrats of Besscmer put themselves in the ridiculous and indefenslble attitude of a lot of pout- ing children who refuse to join in the games of their playfellows. because one or two of the latter may have acted improperly. And, more than that. The Workman would jeopardize the success of the new Constitution. which it admits is better than the old one, for no one has the right to assume that the vote of that town will have no effect. We see no reason to doubt that the majority for the Constitution will. be large, but that does not change the principle involved in the course advised by our disgruntled contemporary. And, finally, we refuse to believe that the white people of Bcssemer will be governed by such feelings.

ND MORE STREET FAIRS.

Montsomery's third Street Fair Is over, and The Advertiser is satisfied that 1t does not exaggerate when it declares that the mass of Montgomery people are glad of 1t.
 Montgomery has regarded 1t as duty. as well as a pleasure. to provide some form of entertainment for the section of country tributary to 1t. This year an attempt was made to change the Street Fairs of 1899 and 1900, with all their objectionable features. into something dif- fe-ent and better-into a Fall Festival. But though the Directors doubtless tried their best. it seems to have been impossi- ble The Fall Festival was the old Street Fair, with all It's disadvantages and few of its advantages. When the streets are thrown open to sideshows, to steam-pianos and spoilers. to confetti and popping sticks, hundreds and thousands of people, young and old, of this city and from the outside, seem to become in toxicated with excitement, and to go to all sorts of extremes. The result is a week of pandemonium, disgusting to all, demoralizing to many and profitable to but few.
 It is said that few cities endure third Street Fair. Most of them are satisfied with the second. Montgomery is un- questionably unwilling to have fourth. The Advertiser believes that 1t voices the sentiments of the bulk of the business men of the city in that respect. It may be possible next year to get up some kind of a Fair to entertain the public. to draw crowds to the city. but 1t will be some thing radically different from the Street Fair. Just what 1t can be. or may be. is a matter for future consideration.

A FAR-FETcHEp CRITICISM.

"The Orphans Call" published at Evergreen. takes singular jaundiced view of the new Constitution and the duty of the white people of Alabama on the subject of ratifying what The Call somewhat contemptuously alludes to as 'the puny paper" The careful and delib- crate work of some of the brainiest and best men in Alabama will hardly be look ed on as ''puny" by those who have studied it and have proper regard for the language they use. The Call speaks truly in one sentence. however, when 1t says that many thousands of people will vote to ratify it because 1t is the best they can do now"
 That Is true enough. It Is not only the best they can do now, but the best that they will have an opportunity to do in many d day. It is so much better than the present one that all white peo- pie who have studied it, and who are not carried away by prejudice, will vote for it. And if the unexpected should hap pen, and this Constitution shall be re- jected. what assurance has The Call that another convention will be held in generation to come? And if another should be held, what assurance have We that it's work will not be more objec- tionable "puny paper" than this one is?
 We must copy from The Call in order that readers of The Advertiser may see the style of argument used by paper which should certainly be careful in its statements. It says:
 It is clearly a vulnerable paper. an un- just paper. Its provision for school tax is fixed at a rate below what Is necessary to maintain our public schools for suf- ficient length of time to educate the chil- dren of the State; herein 1t is vulnerable. The grandfather clause intends to provide for a white mans voting whether he can read or not, while it intends to prohibit the negro under similar conditions; herein it is unjust and also vulnerable. It provides for a registrar to sit in judg ment on the right of the elector to vote; herein 1t is monstrous. Of course 1t will be ratified. That was decided long ago. So much the worse for our politics. It is a pity it's framers had not given us better constitution.
 It would be charitable to suppose that the writer of those lines has not read the instrument of which he speaks so slightly, or that he has not the capacity to understand it's provisions. In either case criticism is not at all creditable to him. The assertion that the provision for a school tax 'is fixed at a rate below what is necessary to maintain our public schools for d sufficient length of time to educate the children of the State" can only be explained on the hypothesis that the writer didn't know what he was writ ing about or else he is one of those one idead men who would sacrifice the credit

The Co.umbus Enquirer-sun says;

A western paper refers to Governor Jones, vho was recently appointed federal judge in Alabama, as staunch free silver advocate. Now. dDn't that jar you? If there is any one thing that Governor Jones has more strenuously op- posed than another, II is free silver.
 We presume that lie VIII necessarily travel all over the country before 1t will die of it's own rottenness. Whether the President appoints gold or silver Demo- crats to office is not of so much con- sequence as 1t Is that he should get men who are well qualified. In this case he selected a man who was thoroughly com petent and who has been one of the most consistent and unswerving opponents of free silver that could be found in the ITnion. That fact may or may not have controlled his selection by the President, hut if it did or did not, there is no need of lying about it. Whether the lie Is intended to injure the President or the J,ldRe matters little. for it will do neither, in our opinion. It is silly falsehood. but 1t must run its course.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-11-05

His Name ominous of Defeat.

Admiral Winfield Scott schley will not be the Democratic candidate for the Presidency in 1904. The original Winfield Sec tt had political aspirations that were doomed to failure. The Democratic Par ty tried another Winfield Scott whose last name was Hancock and he was alike unsuccessful. They will not try a third for other reasons than the possi- ble hoodoo contained in the name. All the same. should the unexpected happen and Schley b, made the candidate. how amusing if would be to note the change of front In Republican organs who are now glorifying Schley as d hero, martyr and victim.

 The North would exhibit much more intolerant view of the question than the South does dld the North have as many negroes in proportion, to whites as the South has. No other section in similar circumstances would treat the negro with the wisdom and justice with which he is treated in the South. The negro un- derstands this. Census statistics show that the North Is rot attracting negro had a negro population of 4580 in 1890 This had increased to only 59,09S in 1900 There are single counties in the South than all the New England States com bined.
