Panama Canal in the Senate.

Panama Canal in the Senate.
 The railroad attorneys and million aires of the Senate have passed the Spooner bill and paved the way for a deadlock and no canal The expected has happened. The international rail roads commanded the vote of every millionaire except MT. Clark of Mon tana and New York, an exception that but proves the rule.
 There is some satisfaction to be gathered from the fact that every Southern Democrat stood firmly be- hind MT. Morgan except Mir Jones Of Arkansas. In the expiring days of his Senatorial service he kicked the Kan sas City platform from under him and joined the Panama or deadlock crowd. MT. McLaurin of South Carolina also voted in favor of Panama, but he is neither a Democrat nor does he repre- sent in the smallest degree South Car olina.
 The Depew-Hanna-Spoo bill would place the selection of route in the hands of President Roosevelt, who is a man of honest impulses, but full of New York notions, where he was born and bred. If it should become a law, it means that a canal will be built on the Panama route.
 But will it become law? The French lobby and the international railroad lobby will now part company, for the latter no more wants a Panama canal than it wants a Nicaragua canal. It wants no canal at all, and 1t will there- fore endevor to induce the House to reject the Spooner bill. What action the canal committee in the House will take must be left to time to disclose. If Chairman Hepburn simply asks the House to refuse concurrence in the Senate bill and asks for a conference, no doubt the whole matter will be sent to a conference committee, and the conferees on the part of the House will naturally be Messrs. Hepburn, sherman of New York and Adamson of Georgia. Two of these men are staunch advocates of a Nicaragua ca nal. and MT. Sherman may also be. l Messrs. Hepburn andyAdamson can re- port at any rate inability to come to an agreement with the Senate con ferees. What the House would then do is a problem. Ordinarily the House knuckles to the Senate, but when the powerful lobby of the international railroads gets down to short but serious task we may see more back bone in the House than we are accus- toned to see.
 Senator Morgan met defeat like the veteran he is. He will yet live to see an lsthmian canal constructed and he has today the entire Southern coun- try behind him, for Jones and Nc Laurin have but few months to serve and other if not better men will then take their places.
 As the case stands it may be Pan anna or nothing, but bad as this alter native is, the South should stand un- finchingly by Nicaragua. Every South ern interest demands this, and the South can better afford to wait two years than it can afford to accept a canal that would be farther away from our coasts, that would cost more money and would consume more time in its construction. Let us be patient and hopeful, and stand by the route that the best engineering talent of the day endorses, unyexed by Frenchmen or by any other interest that is un- American.

THE GEORGIA PLAN DISCUSSED

From the Marion Standard
 The Birmingham Age-Herald, which has been an ardent supporter of a state primary, is at last whiting down to a reasonable position. In fact 1t assumes virtually the same position the Standard has taken all along. The advocates of a primary as a rule have lost sight of the Democratic principle that each county should be allowed the privilege of con ducting her own affairs without inter- mixing with other counties. This can be accomplished only on the representation plan.

N. Cons.

These losses occurred in about 320,- 900 men, of which number 265. 900 men came from the United Kingdom, and 55,000 from the colonies. The losses of life were therefore about seven in every one hundred men. The greater part of this high rate was due to ty- phoid fever, which sprang of course from the use of unwholesome drinking water. South Africa is heavily afflicted with typhoid in peace times, and in war covering thirty-two months losses from that source were unavoidable.
 The official statistics show there were left in Africa at the close of the war, in addition to the troops from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa itself, twenty-one regi- ments of cavalry, forty-eight batteries of artillery, six companies of garrison artillery, six battalions of the Foot Guards, eighty-one battalions of in fantry, thirty-four battalions of militia infantry, nineteen companies of the

From the Eufaula Times.

There should be no schemes in calling q primary. If the committee should see fit to call primary, now that the candi- dates and people are in favor of 1t, it should be a fair one-not one that has the semblance of fairness Tor the people would not put up with anything that savers of the old-time "sculdugery" that has been practiced in the past. Let's have a primary that's fair for the voters and just to candidates, and thus secure peace and harmony in the party. The commit tee has the views of the people and the candidates on this question, and how they will do their duty will be left for the peo- pie to see and by which the future well fare of the party will be judged.

From the Wetumpka Herald.
 Since all the state officials, all the county officials and ell the people are in favor of primaries to select candidates. why not let's havs a primary pure and simple without any tendencies towards conventio ns7 Delegates selected by pri- maries to the convention is not what the people want. They want good, old fashioned Democratic primary, where perfect harmony prevails without any taint of fraud whatever. If they get such a primary no honest Democrat need fear to take his chances before the people and they will, according to the wish of the majority honestly expressed, say who they want to i'll the offices. With such a state of affairs in Alabama there will be no dissentioLs; there will be no hard feelings among the people, and above all, there will be no disruption of the party. The political atmosphere will be as pure and calm as a summers day, vouchsafing to the people of our be- loved state peace, happiness and pros- pcTity.

III Mr.. Macfarland's Plea. n.
BY special appeal to the head Of the coal
trust, the city Of Washington has been
favored with 500 tons Of coal for the pub
lie schools Commissioner Macfarland,
who Is an old newspaper man and knows
how to write heart interest stories, sat
down and penned a dispatch to President
Baer Of the Reading railroad. which Is
said to have brought tears to that hard
mans eyes. At once he rushed forth and
ordered somebody-there are a good many
people who take his orders-to dispatch
500 tons by express freight to Washing
ton, so that the little boys and girls under
Mr.. Macfarland's care might not be COM
PEELED to leave their bright morning faces
at home on the day appointed for open
ing the schools. Just whence the 500 tons
came from in this period Of scarcity Is
not stated. Arrived in Washington, the
coal was guarded as IT. it were so much
precious gold. Special officers were set
to watch it at the yards, and with each
wagon special detail plodded along to
the school to make sure that some felo-
NOUS millionaire did not rush out and
snatch handful from the wagon. So
at the school buildings the coal was put
in Theoretically sealed bins, whence none
but the sacred janitor himself could ex-
tract it. He can do so only on orders

AN AWFUL STORY
Federation Of Civic Rights Protests
Against Burning Negroes.

New Albany, Ind, Oct. 3.-The Nation
al Federation of Civic Rights, an assoc
citation incorporated under the laws Of In
diana, the object of which is the ameliora-
ton Of the conditions and for the pro-
lection of the colored race, has issued an
appeal to the people Of the United States.
The address says: 80
In this republic within the last ten years 1900
colored persons have been brutally murdered by
mob violence upon the accusation Of crime mere
ly, without trial by jury, without any Judgment
Of court Of competent jurisdiction and In utter
disregard of the constitutional rights of the ac-
cused persons. All these atrocious murders by
hanging, burning and fendish mutilaton have
been openly committed within the last decade
without rebuke and without punishment. RI
AS late as September, in the year Of our Lord
1902, and since this organization was formed
a negro accused Of crime has been burned at the
stake pitilessly tortured and roasted to death by
men who call themselves American citizens.
The cruelties Of Nero, the massacres OF In
nocent religionists and the brutality OF cannt-
balisn as chronicled in history sink into nsig-
nlfcance when contrasted with the wholesale
slaughter of the people of the colored race in the

Chicago, Oct. 3.-The reasons why work

related in a symposium of letters sent
from members of Chicago labor unions and
read by the Rev. Roy B. Guild at a meet
ing Of the Federated churches Of the West
Side at the Western Avenue Methodist
church last evening. The opinions Of the
union men were classified by Mr.. Guild
into seventeen heads, ranging from, criti-
cisms on the alleged prevailing atmos-
phere to be found in the houses of wor-
sfiu to the personal desire Of the working
men to spend the. day in their own man
ner. AS asserted by Mr.. Guild, the re-
plies were as follows:

in religious organizations are those who
have made their money out of the labors
of their employees and they don't care tt

Valley.
A German botanist has discovered
that the pretty flower known as the
lily of the valley contains poison OF
the most deadly kind. Not only the
flower itself, but also the stem as well.
contains an appreciate quantity of
prussic acid. While injecting a decoc-
ton of lily of the valley into the ear
of a guinea pig he noticed the animal
succumbed Immediately, with all the
symptoms of poisoning by hydrocyanic
acid. Chemical analysis OF the little
plant has disclosed, however, the pres
ence of this poisonous constituent, to
which-strange to say-scientistS, at
tribute precisely the penetrating per-
fume of the lily of the valley. The at
tentien of the German botanist has
been drawn by the fact that one of his
gardeners has felt himself seized with
dizziness and vomiting, after having
raised inadvertently a bunch of lilies
of the valley to his mouth, the lips OF
which were cracked.
