AT McDoNALD's THEATRE.
Southern Stock Company in "The Lit
 tie Egyptian"

"The Little Egyptian" was the bill which was presented by the Southern Stock Company at McDonald's Theatre last night, Owing to the disagreeable weather conditions the audience was not as large but 1t was none the less appre- ciative. The careful production of the play was repeatedly applauded.
 Miss Mabel Paige played the titular role with her customary vivacity and other members of the company acquitted themselves creditably. This was partic- ulraIy true of John Clark. who played an eccentric comedy part in a high class manner.
 The specialties of Baby wava and the grand medley by the company and dan- cing of the Paige sisters contributed greatly to the success of the entertain ment.
 At matinee this afternoon The Little Egyptian" will be repeated and the com- nanv will close its engagement tonight with a presentation of Don't Tell My Wife"

George wilson Made Hit With Two ! Biz Audiences.

. George wilson was at the Montgomery Theatre yesterday at matinee and last night. Haverly's Minstrels were with him, and 60 were the audiences. George Wilson erows better as he grows older. Many who attended the performances yesterday and last night say that he was better than he had ever been.
 The hrst part presented very pretty stare setting, the musicians being In the rear of the minstrels and elevated. The interlocufor and the four men, on either side were dressed in black with white gloves. The next four. two on either side, were in red. The next two, one on either side. were in green. and the next two. Ge6rga Wilson and Eddie Mazier' were in white.
 Among the singers. who were all very clever, George Morgan. the English male soprano, was a bright star. His voice Is remarkable. In that he reaches with ease and sweetness of tone the high notes of soprano
 There were a great many high class speciaities, which were really good, and. taken all in all, Haverly's Minstreis are as good as any on the road today.

POSITION OF HlGDON
HE HAY ASK GOVERNOR Io1
 REINSTATEMENT.
Reported that He Holds His Resigna- , ten Would be Tantamount to en Admission of Error in Pros
 ecuting Kyle.

Tho status of Col. E. L. Higdon. com. mander of the 3rd Alabama regiment who, with the other stan and Held of. icers of the regiment, was suspended some time ago after and as . consequence of the verdict of the Kyle courtmartial. Is one of moment in military circles. says The Birmingham Ledger. :.
 Special zest attaches to what Colonel Higdon will do next. since the resigna- tions of Lieutenant Colonel Kyle and Ma jors W. ]. Parkes. H. H. Mcconnell and T. T. Huey have been handed the Gov ernor and by him, as commander-in-chief of the State troops, accepted. Kyle's at titude to Colonel Higdon was the cause of the friction between him and his su- perior officer in the regiment. and brought about the disagreeabIe passages which finally culminated In the courtmartial.
 Colonel Hfgdon will not speak of his intentions publicly. nor will his eaoos friends in the regiment say what he ts going to do. However. 1t is well under stood that. biding his time. Colonel Hig- don will ask the Governor to either Ss- instate him In command or prefer chsrees against him. It is thought to be the position of Colonel Higdon that if he re. sisned and was reelected, as it seems certain to be. according to the best tn- formation obtainable. he might be called upon at some future date to % tnrougn the same experience as he had with Kyle. Tn other words. his resignation would bs construed as confession of blame on his part, whereas he does not acknowledge any. and would. 1t is thought. tend to maintain the same state of affairs that caused friction heretofore.
 When Colonel Higdon will make this request of the Governor is not known, but 1t seems certain that he Is going to ask for full, complete and honorable res tofation to his rank and duties or have charges preferred against him. At least, Ledger reporter gets this from several reliable sources as a pretty sure tip.
 Yesterdays Birmingham Age-Herald announced that at a meeting of the Bir. mingham Rifles. over which Capt. c. l.. Ledbetter presided. resoluuons were adopted expressing approval If the con duct of Colonel Higdon In preferring charges against Lieutenant-Colonef Kyle and in declining to tender his resignation.

Roosevelt's Golden Opportunity.

St. Louis Republic.
 The Presidents conviction of the shame fitness of the contemplated attempt C compel Cuban choice between starvr- ton and annexation will also give much pleasure to Americans contemplating the situation from the American point of view as opposed to the imperialist point of view. A deliberate precipitation of dire calamity on the Cuban people in or der to force them into surrendering their national independence as the only means of averting ruin would constitute a con- temptible act of tyranny by a great peo- pIe dealing with a weaker. Such a course would be more disgraceful even than a war for conquest. in that it would be cowardly and sordid.

THE OUTLOOK IN THE PHILIP.
PINES.

The American love of freedom has
been somewhat confused in its express
sion, owing, also, to the unexpected
and fost lamentable condition of af-
fairs following our occupancy of the
Philippines. Concerning this We will
only say, at the moment, that Ameri-
can ideals have had recently very
marked expression in two notable de-
liverances: one the notable and i'm
passioned speech of venerable Senator
Hoar, in the senate of the United
States, which was listened to without
interruption and with the most pro-
found attention not only by sympathiz-
ers with its sentiments, but by those
who strongly differed. The other not
able deliverance was that by President
Roosevelt at Arligton, where ne did not
hesitate to hold out the idea not mere
ly Of increasing self-government, but
of possible national independence
when the people should be fitted for it.
Surely, as President Schurman has
said, 'the ideas and sentiments awak-
ened by the very name of Theodore
Roosevelt are an augury of good hope
and promise to the Filipinos." II
America has, by accident, been placed
in false position with regard to the
desire for nationality among the Fill
pinos. the good will of our people as

QUESTION OF MAJORITY.
(Bloomfield Republican,

John P. Reese of Abba was nominal.
ed by the democrats of the Sixth dis
trict at their convention, at Oska.
loosa Thursday to succeed John F. La
cey as congressman from this district
Mr.. Reese is a young man, has been
coal miner and is comparatively I'M
known except as president of District
No. 10, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea.
The only plausible reason for the
nomination of Mr. Reese is the hope Of
his party that he may be able to con,
troll large miner vote Of which there
are from 5000 to 1000 in the district.
1t is not likely, however, that the min
ers are going to forget the efforts of
Major Lacey in their behalf since he
has been in congress and especially in
the last session of congress when he
secured the passage Of law to pro.
tect the miners in the territories of
the United States.
The miners will not be slow to see
that Major Lacey by reason Of his in.
fuence and experience can accomplish
much more for them than Mr. Reese,
who has had no acquaintance and No
experience in legislation, can do.
We should not be surprised to see
Major Lacey reelected by one of the
largest maiorities he has ever receiw
ed in the district.

FOUND IN THE TALL GRASS.
A Lucky Farmer,

Waverly Independent: There was a
good corn crop In 1900. Corn was COM
paratively cheap the following fall and
winter. John Roach of Plainfield, has
observed that corn was corn at least
once every seven years, and he figur-
ed that the seventh year was about due
again. During the first four months
of 1901 Roach bought all the corn that
was offered. He shipped much, but he
saw to it that his cribs were full all
the time. He built new cribs and filled
them also, all the time feeling sure
that corn would be corn pretty soon.
Corn went up and Roach built his cribs
higher and kept them full of 1900 corn.
When the corn had gone to SIS cents
he had on hand some $4,000 bushels
of sound corn which he had bought
for from rs to 35 cents. Hogs went up,
and ever since they took the upward
tendency Roach has been feeding and
shipping hogs. He has fed, finished
and shipped about 400 hogs, and he
now has $50 on hands that are nearly
ready to take to market The corn of
the vintage of 1900 came handy in his
business. The way he disposed of that
corn brought him close to 81 per bush

1t is just as well for sound money
democrats to look matters squarely in
the face. William J. Bryan
is believed to have more influence over
the utterances of the party than any
other person. He will make strenu-
GUS effort to place silver plank in the
next democratic national platform. So,
that portion of the party which wants
to be honest with itself and cannot sub
scribe to the principles advocated by
the Nebraskan are forewarned by Mr..
Bryan's utterances when he says that
"the loyal democrats of the country
will learn after awhile that the reor-
ganizing idea must be opposed where
ever it presents itself, whether in pre-
cinct, county, state or nation, for it
means the same thing everywhere,
namely, the emasculation of the demo-
cratic platform"

DANGER TO LABOR oRGANlzA.
TIONS.

The people generally are favorably
inclined toward labor organizations
and have manifested their sympathy
more than once toward the coal min
ers in their endeavors to secure better
pay, and better protection while en-
gagged in their dangerous avocation.
That sympathy has materially
strengthened the miners union not
only in this district but in other local
tiles. In fact it must be said that labor
organizations generally could not be
possible if they were not sustained by
the force of public opinion. This be-
ing the case, labor unions should be
entirely divorced from partisanship.
The miners Of this district are men
of all parties and the people who sym
pathiZe with them are men of all par
ties but all are united in the one OBJ
ject of protecting the laborer; there
fore any attempt to use the miners
union as machine to promote the DO
litical interests of any person is dam
gerous to the organization. The
Knights Of Labor were at one time led
by Sovereign, who used the order as
means to aid the democratic party
and the knights themselves became d.
vided and lost the friendship of both
republicans and democrats. John p.
Reese is following in the footsteps of
Sovereign. He has himself become a
candidate Of a party for congress and
is using the weight of his influence as
labor union leader to promote his
own election. In doing this he is alien
ating friends of labor who look upon
