state are not selecting a man to make or criticise a constitution. but one who will execute the laws as they stand.
 In one of his tales Andersen tells of the witless king whose rich outer-garments were badly pinned together and how in processions of state they fell from him and left him exposed before the tittering multitude MT. Jell1s' friends pinned about him the rich folds of the new con stitution, but these have long since fall en from him and left him to make the rest of this race in native majesty. His representation might, therefore, be due to modesty.
 It has never occurred to us that the JelI1s leaders would be able to Juggle the constitution before the eyes of patient public and keep their gaze fixed upon 1t through the whole campaign Becoming tired by it's glitter their eyes fell upon the men themselves, and from that mos ment Johnston's majority began co grow.
 MT. Jellks' leaders Chats sad word) hurried into Marshall, made appointments for speeches at every cross-road. First MT. Weakley, then Congressman Clayton, then General Brandon, and finally Terry Richardson, sallied against the Johnston heights, retired at the second assault for the reason that. as Brandon said, they could not do Jelks any good there" and
  mittee. Mark up POGO for Johnston.
 Mir Weakley, who is chairman, became liable to the charge preferred against Colonel Renfro of leaving headquarters to make votes, next sallied inJo Marion, in the far northwest (chalk up 700 for Johnston), and then into Lee, in the far southeast (cnalk up 800 for Johnston), and then back to Etowah and the north (60G more for Johnston), explaining all Ia hot 1a 1,od moi fOrrp6 ft, take the stump, but was merely going out on special invitations. He's mighty popular.
 High Jackson was coaxed and petted QC00 for Johnston), and Mir. Knox spoke to large and enthusiastic crowds. which at times numbered as many as 25, in ths eighth district He then sought moro genial climes, and ran athwart trouble some fellow named Robinson fin the wire grsss. That landscape was unpleasant, and he retired to his own good county of Calhoun end carried around lists Yor tho formation of a Jelks club m Anniston. Then Governor JelSs came hurricdly to Birmingham, ard shortly afterwards the Help me, Cassius, CT l sink" letter was issued.
 We claim that the state IS certain for Johnston by 25,00O majority. We do not limit Governor Jelks to two counties. We have more respect TOT the nDility or tne machine than that. We say that the re- suit will be close in O number of the counties, but we assert that Jelks cannot hope to cut down the large majorities which Governor Johnston will receive. The Jslks forces have failed in every as- sault on these strongholds, and realized too late that Talladego had fallen away with Madison and Limestone, while Bar bour called for a protracted visit from Mir Jelks. We are certain of that county, and we have won this fight.

HARRISON SPEAKS
 FOR COY. JOHNSTON
SAYS HE TOWERS OVER JELKs AS SENATOR MORGAN DID OVER JoHNsToN-MEN THREW UP THEIR HATS.

Montgomery August 22.-(Special)- Gen George P. Harrison addressed an audience of over 700 people at McDon- aids theatre tonight in the interest of former Governor Joseph F. Johnston. The crowd was even more demonsrative than that which greeted Johnston, and the novel sight was seen of men throwing their hats up.. The argument was, in brief, that the constitution is settled, Johnston has accepted 1t and it Is not the issue The sole issue is the fitness of the two men to administer the govern ment.
 General Harrison reviewed the re- spective merits of the two candidates very much to the advantage of the for mer governor .and explained that he supported Morgan over Johnston because the former lowered over the latter as an eagle over a sparrow. For the same reason he supports Johnston over Jelks. That was the climax of the speech. Both sides have closing rallies here tomorrow night when Col. Hubbard and W. H. Sanford speak for Jelks and Stallinss for Johnston.

Who Deserves Most credIt9

Tt would be hard to say whether we owe most to our military or our civil representatives in the Philippines. The soldiers have shown splendid gallantry in the field, and they have done no less ad- mirable work in preparing the provinces for civil government The civil authori- ties have shown the utmost wisdom in doing a very difficult and very important work of vast extent. It would be hard to find in modern times a better example of successful constructive statesmanship. Finally, in the Philippines, as in Cuba, the instances of wrong-doing among either our civil or military representa- tives have been astonishingly few, and punishment has been meted out with even-handed justice to all offenders.
 Nor should it be forgotten that, while we have thus acted In the interest of the islanders themselves we have also helped our own people. Our interests are as great in the Pacific as in the Atlantic The welfare of California, Oregon and Washington is vital to the nation as the welfare of New England, New Hork and the south Atlantic states.
 "rhe awakening of the orient means very much to all the nations of christen- l dom, commercially no less than political 1 ly; anl 1t would be short-sighted states manship to refuse to take the necessary l step for securing a proper share to our people of this commercial future. The po- sition of the Philippines has helped us, as the securing of the open door in China has helped us Already the government has taken the necessary steps to provide l for the laying. of Pacific cable under
 conditions which safeguard absolutely
 the interests of the American public. Our commerce with the east is growing rapid ly. Events have abundantly Justified,
 alike from the moral and material stand
 point, all that we have done in the far
 esst as n seouel to our war with Spain.

Cotton Letter.
COILOn LSItcTs Ware & Leland's Letter to Cothran 6


 Ware & Leland's Letter to Cothran & Company.
 New York, July 31.-While crop ac- counts were as good as ever, the gov ernment continues to report that drouth prevails over more or less area in six of the most important cotton growing sections of the south outside of Texas. Texas had less rain today and this left holders to market their cotton as best they might, and the best was not good. The whole thing simply collapsed, Octo- Der selling down 10 points with no req son in the world as far as can be seen. But the selling by one or two people Is extensive. The selling is pretty heavy for this season of the year. We would call attention to the fact that the mar ket in 1896 did mot move until the first week in August and then advanced cent and a half In three weeks
 The crop is not made on July 25 nor vet on August 10. There is too much dry weather east of the river to suit the big crop views There is much to be said by both sides of question and we would prefer to wait for the government figures on Monday. If they prove over .S5. the market will doubtless break. should the showing come around 80 there is likely to be more or less of a scramble.
 Many states have gone back this month and those may more than offset the Texas improvement, but Texas will raise a big crop
 Until the outlook Is clearer, we are not bears on cotton at 7lRc.
 The cotton exchange will be closed August 9-Coronation day.
