Out of the Wreck.
Courier-Journal.

1OClSVllle courier -J OGrnal.
 While the elections of the 4th inst were pretty uniformly in favor of the Repub- licanS except in the South, there were advantages gained by the Democrats in sundry places which are worthy Of rec ognition.
 The capture of a Democratic Governor in Rhode Island has already been noted. It Is said that this was protest against boss rule. If so, it was in order in a gc cd many other States where 1t seems to have had no such influence.
 In looking over list of the members Of the present Congress we see number of States with solid Republican delegations. Quitting the States with single mem- Der, where the delegation cannot be other wise than solid, these States are Cal1or- mia, Connecticut, Iowa. Maine. Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Yer mont, Washington. West Virginia and Wisconsin. Of these States. California. Rhole Island and Wisconsin have elected one of more Democratic Congressmen. California and Maryland elected two each. Of the Republicans defeated in California. Mir. Loud, chairman of the Committee on Poctoffices and Post Roads, was one. Some of the other Republicans from Cali fornia would probably. have been less missed. The Democratic gains mentioned are in part offset by the increased repre- sentation of some of the States.
 In other States the Democrats gained one in Arkansas by increased represen- tation, one in Delaware. one in Florida by increased representation, two Tn Ken lucky, one in Louisiana by increased rep resentation. one In Massachusetts. one in Mississippi by increased representation. two in Missouri (where the representation IS one larger), one in New Jersey. nve in New York, three in North Carolina and three in Texas Cby increase). This omits two districts yet classed as doubtful, The gains are offset in part by increased rep resentation in Republican States and by the loss of Idaho and Montana.

The Advertiser has no desire to under rate or underestimate any county in Ala bama. On the contrary, 1t is proud al- ways of any evidence of growth and prosperity. In noting the taxable valu- ation of the property of the State for present fiscal year it stated that twelve counties showed a falling off as com of all of them, however, did not amount to a great deal, when the values in the entire State are considered. One of the twelve was Cleburne County, and The Edwardsville Standard News has denied the correctness of our statement and in It's last issue said:
 "Cleburne County has increased in tax valuation $62, ,S23 during the past year, The Montgomery Advertiser to the contrary, notwithstanding. Remember Cleburne County does not take any footsteps back ward"
 Now it is not a case of '"The Montgom- cry Advertiser to the contrary. notwith- standing" and our contemporary does us an injustice fin seeking to create the i'm pression that this paper is undervaluing property in that county. It is case of the books in the office of the State Au- ditor, which show as follows:

Concerning a Complete Boss.

New York Evening Post
 Boss Platt announces that his leader ship Is as complete as ever" So it is as completely disguisting and ruinous It was his leadership that refused a re- nomination to Judge Gray. Result: Judge Gray elected. and Platt hit full in the face. Platt leadership brought about the offensive nomination of Davies for judge, and in that case, too, the voters rose with enthusiasm to tell the boss what a eontemptible creature they though him in his capacity as "complete leader Platt dug Quigg out of the political ruins where he lay. and gave him fresh promi- nence Result: More votes repelled, more Congressmen and members of the legislature lost. The complete leader ship can point proudly to a Republican loss of forty on joint ballot at Albany. But Platt says he will be reelected Sena- tor, just the same-especialy If his op- ponents keep on hitting" him, In his mind, the legislature exists solely to graufy his revenges. What he really wants, however. is to keep the press from telling the truth about him. so that he may be taken as a decent member of society and not be known for the dis grace he is, both morally and politically. For our part. we propose to keep on hitting" him to the end of the chapter. We shall not sit silent while the Republi- can party in the greatest State of the Union makes ready to send such man hack to the Senate.

WELCOME TO rHs vsrsRANs.

Today the Capital City of Alabama hon. ors herself by welcoming to the Cradle of the Confedsracy some of those who struggled % long and 90 gioriousiy to
 make that confsderacy one cf the Na- tons of the earth. From every county and section of Aiabama they come to be again with the comrades of forty years ago, to shaks the hands of those who kept step with them to the music of "Dixie." te again fight over their battles and tell how fields were lost and won, and to renew their recollections of the times and events which made the name of Confederate soldier . password to the uttermost heights of patriotism and miii- tary renown.
 As the old veterans of Napoleon re- membered Lodi and wagrarn, Austerlitz and Marengo. % will these veterans of a. later and more glorious war speak of Manassas and Antietam. of Spottsylvania and Fredericksburg. of Shiloh and Mur- freesboro and Chicioamausa. and of the many other bloody fields on which the armies of Lee and Johnston and their brother leaders illustrated again and again the valor and patriotism of the bravest soldiery the world ever saw. Many who will be here today were in Montgomery when the infant nation was launched. Then they were young and buoyant, with most of life's years and hopes before them. Now. their gray hairs and feebler steps are evidence of the years which have frosted their locks and aowed their forms since they laid aside the runs and tattered uniforms In '65. Since the last reunion many of their comrades have answered the final roll call and gone hence. Some who are here today will not be present to answer to their names when another annual re- union comes around. Like the leaves of autumn they are dropping off and soon there will De but an occasional octogen- arian in all Alabama to tell of the brave days of old when boys were men, and when all were heroes.
 Montgomery welcomes these old veter- ans with open arms and assures them
 that nothing Is too good for them The city itself welcomes them and the old
 Veterans are joined by the children and grandchildren of those who wore the gray in the determination to make their visit pleasant and enjoyable. and one to be long remembered. They are our guests, they are our visitors, they are our brothers in arms. With a tear for the dead and feart-warm hand for the. living we assure them that Montgomery is glad to have them here and wants them to enjoy every minute of their stay.

Perique Not Popular.

Philadelphia Record lis net very popu- lar. People have ;he idea that it is ip- furious. But, for my part, I believe that it is the purest and least har nful of all pipe tobaccos. It must be used with some moderation or it will hob with the nerves. Did you know that the worlds supply of perique was all grown in one place-St' James, La.? The annual crop is 100000 pounds. The leaves have the stems taken out of them, and then are subjected 10 a tremendous pressure between slabs of wood for three months So great is this pressure that the juices of the tobacco actually exude through the slabs. During the three months fermentation goes on. Afterward the inky, moist stuff is wrapped in cloths and tied with ropes, and in this state 1t remains for a year. Then 1t is boxed and put on the market a tobacco delicately favored, very strong, and very pure"

We'll most of us had rather possess them than learn how they came to be scattered over the United States. And The Times seems to have no doubt that these gems may be found in the Cltronelle hills. Unless you want the country around your town brought down to a dead level you had better not hint that diamonds are there or thereabouts.

They elected Democratic Gov Democratic Congressman, with the rest of the State ticket and one Congressman Republican. We believe this is the third Democratic Governor since the war.

 KIND MIR. aRosvENoR.
 Congressman Charles Henry Grosvenor of Ohio. makes us aware that he was a candidate for Speaker by kindly coming forward and saying he is no longer so. Very kind of MT. Grosvenor. Of the several candidates for the Speak ship, Mir. Cannon is at 6s the oldest in years as he is in legislative experience. He Is now serving bis fourteenth term as a member of the House-his 18th year. and so If he lives he is certain of round- almost unprecedented period for Repre- sentative.
 Next in point of age of the candidates Is Serene Elisha Payne of New York who is 59, and with nine terms or eighteen years service to bis credit. MT Payne IS one of the most distinguished looking men in Congress, his snow-white, short-cropped beard and hair and his strong rosy face giving him a pleasingly striking appear ance.
 John DalzeII of Pennsylvania is 55. six teen years of which make up the period of bis membership of the House. He wears short gray mustache and his hair is likewise gray. But he is not a man a stranger would look at twice.
 Joseph Weeks Babcock of Wisconsin is at 52 a rising star in the Republican Armament. He is the chairman of his psrty's Congressional Campaign Commit tee and his admirers give him great credit for the majority in the new House, though he scarcely deserves such credit. seeing that all the Republican, as we'll as the Democratic, nominees for Congress ran a go-as-you-please race: Still MT. Babcock is an able man and is the leader of the Republican tariff revisionists in Congress where he IS nST serving ans hs his whiskered.
 Charles Edgar Littiefeld of Maine, whom the public persistently describes as young man." is d and has been . member of the House but three years and four months. Probably no other member ever made as much reputation as he in so short time. He was admitted to the bar at 25. and at 36 was Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives. Two years later he was elected Attorney-Gen- eral of his State. The most effective charge that will he urged against him in his candidature for the Speakership is that he has been rebellious against the party discipline. A man of marked abil- ity and pleasing personality withal this rather tall and muscular Mir. Littlefeld.

Moreover. some publicist with a mind for such work has calculated to a nicety that if the President could have his way in amending the constitution, 1t would, be toward the close of the year 1908 before put into operation, allowing time for at least thirty States to take favorable &C., tion on the proposed amendment. So if MT. Roosevelt should succeed himself in the Presidency in 1906. he would be going out of office at the time the law he pleads for would be coming into effect.
