What to Do.

From the Coosa Argus.
 If the convention will fix the franchise satisfactory to the white people of Ala bama, arrange our elections little fur ther apart, do very little monkeying with the judiciary, arrange the public school fund satisfactory, have a good primary election law draw their pay and return home, the voters will ratify their work without dissenting voice. Otherwise the result is likely to be disastrous.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 When a woman comes to believe in the euuality of the sexes, she has come down to mans level.
 The best proof that woman Is better than man Is that she Is so willing to let him make her worse.
 No nian knows what he will do if he gets married, and no woman knows what she will do if she doesn't.
 If therA were no love there would still be narriaEe, but If there were no mar riage therd would be no love.
 Every woman has a story. which al- ways mak4s the men tired, about man who was fept from some terrible crime by kissing Ia little baby.

Scotland and Ireland.

These two portions of the United Kingdom, having nothing at the start in common with England, have drifted in opposite directions. To one great prosperity has come, while trouble and adversity have been the portion of the other. These general conditions are strikingly shown in two small tables of population.

 Ireland was full of people in 1841. They were industrious, although not exactly happy or contented or prosper ous, for the land was held by English men as rule, and the tiller of the soil got but scant living from it. Scotland on the other hand began to build ships, and to develop in every possible way it's resources, encouraged thereto by English capital if outside

Famous Artist Visits Flasstaff.

Thursday evening a grand old man visited the sanctum of the SUN. one who has done more to bring the East in close touch with the West than any one person in the Union.
 The visitor was Thomas Moran, the scenic artist, whose pictures of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado are fla nous throughout the world. Few art ists in the United States are more ap- preciated by the western people than Mir. Moran. He seems in all his work to be in close communion with nature, whether painting the awe-inspiring crags and pinnacles of the Grand Can yon or the ethereal blue of an Italian sky. His coloring is marvellous.
 In an interview with a SUN reporter and former acquaintance in Colorado he expressed himself as follows:
 "I am not connected with the Gen. tury Magazine party. This will prob- ably be my last trip" He did not say that advanced age would be the cause of his discontinuing his visits to the natural wonder of the West, but this was surmised by the reporter.
 He considered Powell's plateau the most noteworthy for grand scenery. This is the portion of the Grand Can. yOn known as Coconino basin and in- cludes the scope of country between Bright Angel trail and Moran's point.
 Mir. Moran stated that the trip to the Grand Canyon twas revelation" to his brother artists, who admitted never having seen any thing to equal it

THE INSVLAR TRADE CASES.
The Decision of the Supreme Court of
 the United States.

By vote of five to four the supreme court of the United states on Monday handed down what is undoubtedly the greatest decision ever made by that tribunal.
 l. The constitution does not follow the flag ex propria vigOre-Of it's own force
 2. The United States may enter upon a colonial policy-has already entered stitutiOn.
 3. This nation has all the powers that rightfully belong to sovereign inter- national state and may acquire terri tory without incorporating such terri tory as an integral part of itself.
 4. The simple act of acquisition by treaty or otherwise does not autOmati- cally bring about such incorporation: and incorporation is effected only by the will Of the states acting consciously through congress.
 D. Porto Rico is not part of the United States, but "a territory appur. tenant and belonging to the United States" Tariffs established by con- gress upon goods coming from or going to Porto Rico are valid and collectable. The Foraker act is constitutional.
 6. Congress has full power over the territories, may regulate and dispose of them, may at it's discretion extend the constitution to them, may admit them as states or may hold them indefinitely as territories, colonies or dependencies.
 '. Porto Rico is not a ''foreign coun- try" and therefore the Dingley law, which levies duties upon goods inn ported "from foreign cOuntries," does not apply to Porto Rico. Nor yet is ''POrtO Rico part of the United States" It is a domestic territory, over which congress has unrestricted control"
 These are the salient points of the great decision which the court hand- down.
 The judgment is sweeping victory for the government. It is all that was expected by the law officers of the ad- ministration. It removes all difficult ties from the path of the nation, eager to press forward in its new career as a world power, with the single excep- tion of the possible failure of the Ding ley law to apply to the Philippines.

 It has developed, and your correspond ent has as authority MT Dan Taliaferro. for whom Will Price, his wife and sister work, that they were not killed last nigh. and that they are at his home at work None of the armed men who went to the Taliaferro neighborhood this morning have returned. The sheriff and two dep- uties who went out there late in the morning have just returned, and report that so far as they could learn the mob had not killed any one today. They have been chasing Sallie Sutton, a sister of Belford McCray all day, but had been unable to come up with her. This is the woman whom the committee turned loose on yesterday, being satisfied that she was entirely innocent. She went imme- diately home and spent the night It seems, however, that she heard the mob this morning before they got to her home and managed to get out of the way.

ROBSON MAKES SPEECH.
Eloquent Plea for Strong Navy for the
 United States.

Madison, Wis, August 2.--Richmond P. Hobson delivered an address at the Monona Lake Assembly before 5000 persons today. taking for his topic, The Ameri- can Navy" The address was vigorous and eloquent appeal for a stronger ravy. Every Congress. he declared, should ap- propriate at least s25, 100000 for new war ships. The United States was destined to become great world power and it was fit ting that 1t should have navy strong enough to maintain 1t In every portion of the globe. This nation was the natural protector of weaker nations and the prin- ciple of the Monroe doctrine and the bless ings of free institutions should be extend ed throughout the world. To accomplish this great task the United States should keep strong fleet in the Orient and re- tain one at home. both of which should be capable of holding their own against any European fleet or combination of European fleets.
