Were Among the First.

JaSper EaHIe.
 Some of the men now loudest in crying down the new Constitution were among the first men to advocate holding a Con- stitutional Convention. and none of them before. during the time it was in session or since ever suggested better suffrage plan-one that would have rid the State of as many negro votes and as few whites as the one adopted. It is not so much that they oppose the new suffrage plan as it is their desire to get back into pow CT.

Long Feels He is Vindicated.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 Secretary Longs retirement has been regarded as a matter of course since the death of President Mckinley. He has all ways regarded his position in the Cabinet of President Roosevelt. who only a few years ago was a subordinate official of the Navy Department. as grotesque and untenable. He would have resigned last September If the Schley court of inquiry had not been about to open it's sessions. The developments before that court aroused such public condemnation of the Navy Department in general and the Secretary's favorites in particular that Mir Long decided to withhold his resig- nation until, as he put 1t, he ceased to be under fire.
 It has been intimated in Washington that one reason why the President in dulged in such a sweeping condemnation of Schley in his memorandum in response desired to make Secretary Longs exit \ from the Cabinet easy. Certainly there was no valid reason why the Secretary should remain. in view of his previous declarations about retiring, after the President had so thoroughly sustained his position in regard to Schley.
 Secretary Long will leave Washington with the reputation of a nice, pleasant gentleman who made enemies among the women in official society. who could not understand the reason why he chung so tenaciously to his salary. To the Amerl- can people he will be known as the Sec retary who permitted to grow up in the Navy Department a cabal that permeated every branch of the service and made 1t a spectacle for the world to wonder at.

Of Its Best People.

Mobile Herald.
 The State is now in the hands of its best people. Those who continue to carp at the new Constitution will be compelled before long to acknowledge it's benefcent effect. The time for winking at corrupt electoral practices and talking about them as joke has passed. Such treat ment of corrupt practices was demoraliz- ing the manhood of the State. White men began with cheating the negroes. and finished by cheating each other. All of this now belongs to the past.

Tillman Must Be Cautious.

Washington Special to Chicago Chronicle:
 If Senator Tiuman should again offend in the United States Senate even to a lesser degree than when he struck his colleague, McLaurin, he would be apt to be expelled. There seems to be prac- tical unanimity about his case among both Republicans and Democrats. They have ceased to regard his reckless speech with patience and believe that he ought to be disciplined in a manner which would rid the United States Sen- ate of his presence permanently If some of Nc Laurin's friends had consented to a verdict of expulsion for McLaurin the Democratic members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections and two- thirds of the Democrats outside of that committee would have consented to the expulsion of Tillman. Indeed, they were anxious for an opportunity to divest themselves of the responsibility of carry ing him any longer. They all appreciate his value as q Senator. his force of char acter, his incorruptibility and his capac- ity as a debater, but they do not feel that trey ought to be charged any longer with the burden of having to bear his incomprehensible assaults, not only upon his fellow Senators. but upon the rules of the Senate. In his personal capacity Till man is soft spoken, genial and always agreeable He has a faculty for winning Friendships and perhaps no other man in the Senate has more warm friends than he When he takes the Hoor how ever, he seems to lose command of his faculties,

The Virginia Report says: A fight OF
wild geese mum bering several hundred
passed over town this morning about 8
o'clock attracting the attention with the
hoarse cries OF the leading hoakers in
the van OF the phalanxes. The forma-
tionof the columns was not the usual
wedge shape, nut had an additional
curve on the ends resembling a hook.
Professor Schaem of the Senate says
that in Germany when the geese fly in
that shape it is considered as an auger of
an abundant hay crop, as the curve on
the end of the columns resembles the
hooks used in that country for stacking
hay. The Professor further stated that
whensgee migrate in wedge-shaped
columns it is an infallible indication OF
heavy snow falls. The flight OF the
winged phlanxes seen this morning was
from southwe st to northeast. which does
not denote that it is migratory as the
course OF their annual migratory fight
is always due south.
