Senator Pettus.



Herald.
Senator Pettus of Alabama, who is 81
years old, has declared himself a candi-
date for reelection. His term expires on
the 18th of March next. and the Legisla-
ture will meet in January to choose his
successor. He has issued a card to the
public announcing his desire to retain his
seat, accompanied by an endorsement
from a committee of citizens who de-
scribe him as "a brave old soldier, a
lawyer and patriotic statesman
Never before has a man of Judge Pet
tus's age held seat on the floor of the
g Senate ate although hay 2 dozen or more
line of three score and ten. If he should
be sent back again and outlive his term
he will be nearly 80 years OF age, He is
man Of vigorous constitution, excel
lent health. frugal habits and declares
that he was never sick day in his life.
He drinks large quantities Of whiskey
and chews tobacco copiously, but his
health has not suffered from these hab-
its. He retires at o'clock at night,
time other Senators are getting their
breakfast has dismposed OF his cor
resp ldence and Ia nustling around the
Departments with mis- old SLOUGH hat full
for his constituents. He always carries
his papers in his hat instead OF his
pockets, and he wears the old-fashioned
pattern of trousers, waistcoat. collar and
stock.
Deliberate in his movements and dig
nifed in his manners, he is never in
haste and never shows fatigue. He is
as tough at Joey Bagstock. whom Dick
ems tells about, and like him IL "devlish
sly" Many interesting anecdotes of the
shrewd manner in which he has clrcum-
vented the civil service commission in
securing of1ces for his constituents and
friends and supporters to ofices under
a Republican administration. The old
gentleman has a keen sense OF humor, an
inexhaustible fund of anecdote, and
among his fellow Senators Is known as
CONTIGUOUS, because OF his great wis
dom and supposed resemblance, physical
and mental, to the great Chinese phil
osopher and sage.

TOR A WHITE REPUHIrcAN

Many OF the Southern papers are scor-
ing the President because in one of his
recent New England speeches he de-
ciared that at the beginning OF the war
between the States. the Confederacy was
better prepared to carry on q naval war
than the United States were. We see
no reason to be surprised, for Roosevelt
Is accustomed to making just such
breaks as that Besides, he was talking
to the Yankees. and wanted them to
believe that the old and somewhat de-
bilitated Union was more than a match
for a young and vigorous nation with
a powerful Jlavy. If his hearers didn't
know that the Confsderacy had practi-

A bill has been introduced in
Congress by Representative Ste-
phens, OF Texas. providing for the
temporary allotments by the Cher
okee, Greek, Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indians. The bill is in keep
ing with the policy OF the Indian
department for the final dissolu-
ton of the tribal relations of the
Indians and the opening of their
lards to settlement. The measure
provides that each Indian shall
have an allotment of l60 acres, or
q proportionate share OF the tribal
lands where a division with that
acreage is impossible, and that The
balance OF the land shall be sold
at auclion and the money placed
in the hands Of the government as
a trust iund for the Indians and
for sppOrtiOnment among them at

interior may decide that they are
