NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Republican Leaders Oppose Action of
 Any Kind at This Session.

Washington Special to New Orleans
 Times Democrat.
 1t IS now perfectly clear that the hope oi the currency legislation at this ses- son mas gone by. It Is unlikely even that anything will be done next winter. Leading Republicans, both those who are iavt faole to action and those who believe It IS not necessary. are thoroughly pes simistic regarding the prospects for ac- ton: They say that as long as present conditions continue, with gold abundant. surplus accomulatfng and no apparent strain on the government, there will be very little support from the adninistra- ton for currency legislation. On the oth- CT hand. as long as business conditions continue satisfactory and the prosperity Of the. country is maintained. they be- ieve that there will be little or no Dres- sure from the people at large for any steps of the kind They feel. also. that the question furnishes material for po- ntical Jockeying. In years like the pres ent, when Representatives are facing au- tumn elections they are able to say to those who urge action, that they cannot afford to take any steps which will com pei them to go into the campaign facing the unpopularity which might be incur red were they to adopt what they fear might be regarded as an unwise currency measure.
 Then. in years when a presidential cleo ton is on hand. it is possible for the Sem ate to insist upon inactivity on the ground that 1t Is impossible ta leopard ize the chances of a successful presiden- tfal fight by anything that would give the opposition political capital.

The Road to Harmony.
Norfolk Pilot.

4NbilOlh EllOt.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has the idea exactly. Harmony on past issues Is Impossible. Victory upon those issues is impossible. We are not of those who hold that the Democratic party exists fer the blessed privilege of being licked. We are not of those who believe that it is better to preach the principles of decadent is- sues in the sage brush, than to put the principles of living issues into practice at Washington
 Issues are not immortal because con- ditions are not fixed and unchangeable. The domain of politics is not the domain of morals where right is always right and wrong Is always wrong. Times change, issues change, and unless political par ty is a blathering idiot bent on pre- empting an expansive reservation in the potter's field. 1t must adopt itself to changing issues and conditions
 That is all that the Democracy need do now to secure harmony. Upon the live issues of the present. Democrats are agreed. As to the dead issues of the past nothing but blind, unI easonable folly can provoke the party to continued picker ings.
 Being unwilling to concede that the jackass Is the fitting emblem of the Dem- concede that the party will be guilty of the stupendous folly of throwing away the chance of victory that 1t now has. We can not believe that it will consent to continue IS a mere party of futile pro test, when it might be a party of concen- tration and control, by the simple. sensi- ble experience of adapting it's platform to the demands of the day.
 The Advertiser is right. Democrats can and should get together upon terms that involve no sacrifice of self-respect, no eating of humble pie, on either side.

 The General Board of the Navy, of which Admiral Dewey is the head, have been studying the subject of prepara- tions for war, and of plans of campaign. since their organization. They have worked on a most comprehensive scale, devising plans for the distribution of the naval forces and mapping out the work.
 Rear Admiral Cooper has been placed in charge of the work of preparation on the east coast of the country, while Rear Admiral kempff has been assigned 10 similar duty on the Pacific. Another of- ficer will be assig red to the Gulf. These officers will inspect conditions In their dis trict and act under instructions from the General Board

A HARD QUESTION.

Major Jones. of Toledo, who has gained huite a reputation for his unexpected methods of doing things, has prepared a series of questions to be answered by applicants for positions on the police force. among them being the following:
 Suppose two persons are arrested for the same offense; one had thousands of dol lars, the other hadn't a cent Is it an equal punishment to impose a fine of $10 lnd costs on each of them?
 We insist that such question as that is calculated to discourage an applicant. If he has ever paid any attention to the manner in which justice is dispensed-or dispensed with--he must know that the man with thousands of dollars and the man without a cent are never punished alike. What the policeman might think of it cuts no ice. for he can have nothing to do with the fines imposed and his opinion is worth nothing.
 And the manner in which the question is put leads to the inevitable conclusion that Mayor Sam Jones does not believe Ihat rich and poor should receive the same punishment for like offences. The Mayor Is one of those politicians who is always prating about his love for the common people. This has been one of the domi- hating traits of his character, and it is evident from his queries that he wishes to leave the impression that rich man should be punished more severely than d poor one In other words he thinks
 A.. proporition to his wealth. That is the theory of demagogue. 'of whom he is one of which,"

SURPRISING THE FACTS.
As to the Conditions in the Philip
 pine Islands.

Washington Special to Louisville Courier
 Journal.
 That the Republicans of the Senate do not propose to give any more freedom than Is absolutely necessary to the hear ing of facts concerning the Philippine Islands is evidenced by the lack of in terest in the subject which the Republi- can members of the Committee are be- traying.
 The Philippine civil government bill was passed by the Senate on Tuesday last Wednesday morning Senator H. c. Lodge of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Com mittee, left the city, and has not re- turned. Consequently. there have been no hearings by the Committee for a week. although witnesses are here and ready to proceed with testimony.
 Senator Lodge recently announced to the Committee that the majority mem- bers were anxious to get at all the facts. and that the passage of the bill would not interfere with the hearings. Demo- crats of the Committee are discouraged over the outlook. and have practically agreed among themselves that there is no chance of getting full story of the Philippine situation before the country by means of Committee hearing.

 Dear Sir-It seems quite probable now that we have whipped the fight and that the State Executive Committee will grant the people the right to select their own candidates whether this is done or not done, it is essential that all who stand for fair primaries and honest elections and oppose the machine should be ready for instant action.
 We desire you to act as Chairman in your County and select one reliable man In each precinct or beat as beat commit teeman to cooperate with us and we want you to send us the names and P. 0. addresses of these beat committeeman promptly. If you do this promptly, we will soon be able to communicate with would be well for you to urge upon these committeeman to subscribe for The Ala bamian for four months at 25 cents each, so they can keep fully avised of our side Of the pending issues. If for any req son you cannot do this work please write me the name of a proper person to be Chairman.
 Yours truly.

Letters to the Editor.
Let the Matter Be Settled.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Like my country brother. I'm nothing of a writer and less of d politician. Like all good. honest country folk I, too, can see things that are put so plain that folks cant help seeing them, specially when a thing has been touted about as much as the primary question: But, MT Editor. touting about a thing, even till one is black and blue in the face. ain't enough. 1 know toutiEg is worth some thing. It gets you interested, and if you tout long and loud enough. it'll get other folks interested. But it seems to me that the touting on this question has been long and loud enough, and the time has now come to move on. Giving it for what it's worth, l agree with the gentleman who thinks the Executive Committee has the right to act. If iT has. let 'em act: if it hasn't, let 'em call convention or a mass meeting or anything else-but for heavens sake, or better still. for our own let's get the matter settled.

Some Appropriate Remarks.

Army and Navy Journal.
 President Schurman of Cornell Univer- sity began recent address on the Phil ippines by asking: What shall we do with the archipelago?' To which one might reply First, get your archipelago The way to do this is to make your fla respected and to establish peace and or der by insisting upon absolute obedience to your authority. Punish treason, sup press brigandage. open schools. encourage industry, guarantee ample security for life and property and make the natives understand that they shall have self-rule in exact proportion as they fit themselves for its responsibilities. This policy which the Government, acting through the agency of the army, has resolutely pur- sued in the Philippines is the short. straight road to the correct answer for President Schurman's question. For un- der the beneticcnt results of this policy the time will surely come when we may leave the whole problem as to the dcs- tiny of the archipelago to the vote of it's own inhabitants and with absolute con tidence that they will declare overwhel- mingly in favor of the permanent sover. eighty of the United States.

MACHINE TO MAKE GLASS.
Will Throw Thousands of Skilled
 Workmen Out of Employment.

Pittsburg Special to New York Times.
 The American Window Glass Company will begin today at Alexander. Ind, the practical operation of machines designed to do away with blowers, gatherers and siapper from the glass industry. Twelve machines have been installed in the old De Pauw factory. which has been fully equipped throughout with up-to-date ap- paratus. For nearly year one of the machines has been operated permanently in secret sere by the Window Glass Trust. and the invention is said to have been brought to absolute perfection If the practical operation proves as successful as the experiment. every plant controlled by the trust will be equipped with the machines as soon as they can be made. and thousands of skilled workmen will be thrown out of employment.
 The machine is the invention of J. Lubbers and his patents are owned by himself and President James A. Cham bers First Vice President NJ. K. McMil- Iin General Manager George E. Moore and T. Hart Given. a director of the American Window Glass Company. For the rights thew have within a month been .offered s10,000.o0o.
 It was said today that the Window Glass Company expects to exploit the machines under a royalty system. which will make for the company half the profit from the machines use.

SHIP SUBSIDY.
Some of Its Advocates Admit That it
 is Dead.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 General Grosvenor of Ohio. colleague of Senator Hanna. and chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marine, which has the matter in charge. today admitted officially on the floor of the House that the ship subsidy bill has been put to sleep, at least for this session of Congress, and probably for a long time to come.
 As member of the Committee on Rules. General Grosvenor read on the floor list of the measures which have been given place for consideration be- fore adjournment. It was extremely sig nificant that the ship subsidy bill was not included on this list. this being an official acknowledgement by the leaders of the House that they had resolved. for this session at least. not to burn their fingers with the measure.
 The subsidy bill has not been reported from the House Committee. of which Gen eral Grosvenor is chairman. and there is no immediate prospect of its being fa- VOrably reported.

TOM JOHNSON ON TOP.
He Downs John R. Mclean in the
 Ohio State Convention.

,oiSGmous' S' ohio. special to Baltimore
 Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland. emerged from contest at the meeting of the Democratic State Central Commit tee here this afternoon with the scalp of John R. Mclean dangling from his belt.
 It was the hardest fought struggle and the most decisive triumph that has taken place in the Democratic party of Ohio for long time. Johnson won in everything he wanted. and Mclean lost everything for which he had planned. The Mayor wanted the convention held at Sandusky at a late date. Mclean wanted it held in Cincinnati at an early date. The con vention will be held at Sandusky Sep tember and 3. much beyond the time wanted by Mclean.
 In the selection of the temporary off, cers of the convention Mayor Johnson conclusively showed his power Mclean wanted Samuel F. Johnson. one of the editors of The Enquirer W ho was consid- cred his personal political representative selected for the chairrnanship. The John son men wanted their chief. and they carried him through easily. Flushed with victory. they declared after the meeting adjourned that they will control the con- vention and maintain their hold upon the party organization.

rHI sxcnxr WORK.

There are being sent out from Birm- ingham letters like the one which Mir. wetmore Addressed to loyal Democrat published on this page of The Adver- tiser. MT. wetmore's people. by which is meant the gentlemen whom Mir. Wet more represents. are new converts to honest elections" They are the fellows who led the fight against the adoption of the constitution which made honest elections possible.
 These gentlemen have whipped" no fight. They can probably control no mem- Der of the State Executive Committee and the primary which may be ordered will not be due in any measure to Mir. Wet more's present political allies. The pri- mary vii be the result of the wishes of the mass of Democratic voters. They are entitled to control and win control.
 We note what MT. wetmore says about the machine" The committee is proba- bly meant. The committee is new. 4 lit- tie bit over two years ago Governor John ston held this machine and had county machines everywhere. The people rose upon several successive occasions and destroyed the Governors arrangement. The present committee was elected and carried into power by the good people who made Sanford Governor. It Is such a very new little machine that it does not deserve to be spoken of harshly by Mir. Wetmorc.
 The purpose of Mir. Wetmores honest election" flair primaries and 'anti- machine'' icaguers is not so much ethereal as practical. Their motto should be Give us the offices.'' That is what these amiable gentlemen want. Perhaps to be able to kick out some deserving and un- faltering Democrat would add much to the joy they would feel at occupying the lucrative posts themselves.
 But, Mir. wetmorc, your friends are new converts to honest elections. They fought the constitution which alone made honesty possible at the polls in this State. There is hardly a man among you, Mir. Wetmore. who does not know that if your allies could have had their way in. destroying the new constitution no middle aged man in this State would have lived long enough to have seen or heard of one decent, honest election in Alabama. Go to. MT. Wetmore, your crowd is not genuine. You are base imitators and-late.

KANSAS PoPULISTS
Not Disposed to Surrender to the
 Democrats.

Conner Davies. editor of The Concordia CKansan tPop), is quoted by The Topeka Capital (Rep). as not believing that the Pcpulists of Kansas will accept the Dem ocratic proposition to give up their name something over half of the Democratic State ticket. "I don't believe the Popu- lists will agree to give up their name and be merged with the Democratic par ty," he said. "I could not stand for such a movement. I believe the two parties will get together. How they will arrange the details I don't just see. but the Pto- ple's Party will rot give up it's name and organization The alignment will not come until 1904.
