bent in any way or any where. It is as plain as the nose on your face. MT. Editor, and the claim that the electors of a beat are entitled to representation in the conventions of the party on the basis of all of the residents thereof, is an obvious error born of ignorance of the true relation of the county as hole to it's disfranchised inhabitants. There Is no claim of superior intelligence and consequent superior fitness for the office of representative on the part of the coun- try beats, and the continuance of the privilege is unWarranted by any consid- eration whatever for the welfare of the people. On the contrary. it is in deroga- ton of the rights of the majority of the people. and is a grant of privilege to the minority, pure and simple.
 The ideals of the State in civil admin istration. should be the ideals of the Dem- ocratic Party in party administration, No party should tolerate a class of persons holding exceptional privileges at the ex- pense of the rights of others, and no party can create an aristocracy of power in town or country, and continue to com mand the confidence and support of the people.
 Such legislation is manifestly unjust and is thoroughly un-Democratic. The Democrats of Dallas. Jefferson and number of other counties nominate their candidates by straight primaries, and the Democrats of the Fifth Congressional District nominated MT C. w Thompson for Congress in straight primary or dered by the State Executive Committed
 Mr. Lincoln. borrowing d fine aphorism from Webster. spoke at Gettysburg of ours as government of the people, by people speak, Let them be muzzed no longer by the artful rulings of politicians Let the County Executive Committee, as suggested by Committeeman Anderson, call a meeting of the Democrats of the county in their respective precincts to settle this question by a party vote--a proceeding to which no unselfsh patriot can object.

The Trumpet's Call.
. AAS Mobile Reglstl

MODlle ReBlSteF.
 The war horse that has been retired for a time or for all time to the pasture sees passing squadron of cavalry and hears the blare of the trumpet. The blood rushes In his veins. his eyes are aglow, his ears erect, his old and relaxed muscles take strength. and, with ne gh of wild delight. he charges down 10 take his accustomed place in the ranks And 80 it is with the old Democrat when he hears the voice of Grover Cleveland. re- beating the well-knCwn call to duty. It Is the great states mans lest call: My days of political activity are past; and shall not hereafter assume to participate in party councils;" but his farewell words are an inspiration to those who are yet in activity and upon whom rests the responsibility for the future of the pal ty.
 Mir. Cleveland shows plainly that the party is in embarrassing position, and has lost ground since Tilden's time. We are all partners in the Democratic firm, and we gain nothing and can hope for nothing by quarrellfng among ourselves, or by insisting upon the continuance of policies that have brought us to our pres ent pass. We must look out situation in the face and not try to disguise the trouble We must not only abandon proved errors but publicly condemn them as well. We must cut loose forever from the issues which have been killed by the decree of the American people. Har- mony says MT. Cleveland. is not mat ter of theory, but of practice. The in- harmonious party in 1S74 set up the stand ard of Tilden and Reform and in the next election swept the country. Let right principles be adopted. and harmony comes as a matter of course.
 The address is short simple in it's terms, logical and patriotic It comes from a man who has m DO itical ambl- tion whose position is so remote from pa, tiSan bias and whose reputation to be preserved is so high that he not only can l., | ,1r- ~. ,4N,s.

Nebraska's Act Delights President

From Washington to Chicago Tribune
 President Roosevelt is naturally de- ghted over the action of the Nebraska convention. which earnestly and unquaii- fiedIy indorsed the policy of the adininis- tration with regard to Cuban reciprocity, thereby giving Senators Willard and pet rich direct slap in the face. These two Senators have allied themselves with the beet sugar men, who have entered in- to conspiracy to defeat President Roose- welt, and to antagonize him in every way possible.
 There is no longer any secret about the fact that the fight against Cuban reel procity Is not based on antagonism to breaking down the protective policy or the Cover nment but is founded on oppo- sition to the Pre sident and determina- tion to discredit him.
 This slap at the two Nebraska Senstors is the more pronounced because they sent a statement Of their position on the Cuban question to the convention. in the hope that they would De indorsed The convention merely received the state ments placed them on file and then adopted resolution indorsing President Rooseyelts attitude in an unequivocai manner

PAN-AMERrcAN RAILWAY.

Tn this issue of The Advertiser appears an important communication from Mir. A. J. Miller, upon the proposed Pan- American Railway. M-. Miller is a com potent authority upon this interesting and Important subject and handles 1t with a force and grasp that indicates his familiarity with it's varied features.
 This enterprise has received the serious consideration of two conventions of the Pan American Congress in Washington and at the last meeting in the city of Mexico. It has finally assured practical shape and the President has sent mes sage to Congress. recommending a suita- ble appropriation for an expert commis- sion, to visit Central and South America, to determine the feasibility and, practi- cability of it's construction.
 While this is a stupendous enterprise, that will involve probably two hundred million dollars. 1t holds out such wonder full possibilities, that the idea is receiving favorable consideration from many of our statesmen and other students of commer- cial progress. Its ultimate outcome would certainly be the absorption, by American trade. of all the Pacific side of Central and South America, while the branches and feeders that would be built would place us in a commanding position, to control the. bulk of the trade upon eastern side of the Andes.
 MT. Miller points out, with convincing clearness, the stimulus that would naturally arise in many industries, by the building of such a line. notably, fruits, coffee. cattle, mines, etc, while his conclusions as to these and many other undeveloped lines of trade, are fortified by important facts.
 The proposed railway will be about 10000 miles in length, from Canada to Cape Horn, though many existing lines can be absorbed, which would reduce the building of the system to about 5000 miles.
 As Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina did not sign tho agreement of the Pan American Congress, relative to this enter prise, 1t will most likely lead to an in- yestigation of the wesetrn route, along the Pacific slopes of the Cordillaras and Andes. Superficially considered, this route would seem the most feasible any way, as the eastern side presents many dlficulties, in the way of long tunnels and intermInable mountain spurs. espe- cialy in South America, where it would also lead through vast unexplored por- lion of Western Brazil.
 This is subject of deep inetrest to the American people, and would likely prove a valuable auxilliary to the pro- posed canal.

Humor of a Husband.

New York Times.
 Mark Twain Is said by those who know him in his home life to be many things of excellence besides a humorist: among them a model host, a loyal husband. a gallant framer of fine compliments. A friend who spent an evening in that fam fly circle not long since tells this incident as apropos:
 When, after dinner coffee had been served for three before an open ire. the couyersation turned on the subject of the authors critics When Mrs. Clemens had grown vehement in her denunciation or those who had called her husband sei- fish," he interrupted: .,,
 But I am selfish, my dear. will prove it to you and our visitor. Mary" calling to the servant-"close that door. please"
 Yes" said Mrs. Clemens, drawing up her chair little closer to the hre, ret us keep out all the cold" r
 Now, there you are. he added. was not afraid the cold would get In. but that some of our coziness would get out.

Judge Replevined the Money.

New York Tribune.
 Justice Marean of the Supreme Court, second district is a tall man with ten- der heart. Not long ago he caught an lmpostor just as the fellow was perform Ing the last act of a swindling trick on him. The Brooklyn judges tell the story as follows:
 One day shabby and loquacious indi- vidual walked into the office of Judge Marean and said:
 Judge I'm in hard luck. I want couple of dollars to get a Turkish bath. meal and a shave. and then I'll be in de- cent condition to visit my friends
 The money was handed over at once, with the courtesy that distinguishes tn" judge in his dealings with his fellow men, Then it occurred to the judge that per haps he had been a bit nasty in giving the visitor money. He looked out of the window and saw the man heading for Court street. Ora abbing his hat. he fol. lowed him straight into saloon. and heard the fellow say with wave of the hand:
 Come on, men. drink with me"
 Down went the two-dollar bill on the counter Forward surged eight or ten loungers. Just as the hoho,s words of in- vitation were getting cold long arm circlcd over the shoulders of the thirsty and Judge Marcan said quietly but firmly, as he picked up the bill:

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom wkich comes under it's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol I0] denotins golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 ''Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bol; but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL L00l to describe adequately their standing,
 The Advertiser has been accorded thIs double golden symbol I00J and Is the only paper 90 distinguished in this section of tho &cuth.

THEY woULpN,r HAVE TIT.

VI
 For some time 1t as been apparent to those who have read the newspapers of Connecticut that the people of the State would have to worry along under the Cor stitution which. with all its incon- gruities and imperfections had so long been the organic law of the State. They had a constitutional convention which debated for many months and finally adopted | constitution which was really worse in some respects than the old one. This new instrument was submitted to the people and rejected by vote of m pre- than two to one.
 One of the most singular phases of the election was the general apathy and in- difference exhibited by the people all oyer the State, not only in the cities. but in the rural districts. A lay or two be- fore the election The Hartford Times had an editorial on the subject urging the people to turn ou. and vote their full strength, winding up thus:
 With possibly 40000 votes in the af- frmative and with 140,000 votes in the negative. Connecticut would register an even 100000 majority against the con- stitution. That is what the majority ought to be. and only popular indif- ference can prevent it.
 This 1sO,0Oo votes was what The Times election was over and the ballots counted the result showed that only a fraction over 5000 took enough interest in it to go to the polls Of the entire vote of the State less than fifteen per cent cared enough about their new constitution to vote either for or against it, and but about 1000 voted to ratify it. This in- difference arose from the obvious fact that the new instrument was little better than the old ono in any respect, while in some particulars It was really less satisfactory than the old one.
 Representatives in the Connecticut Legislature are apportioned like the dele- gates to a Montgomery County conven- ton. without regard to population or voting strength. A town with few hundred has as many members Of the lower House as one with ten or twenty times that number. This is so manifest ly unfair and unjust that the people are tired of it. and when they saw that the new constitution was very little better in this respect than the old one, they stayed at home in disgust and practically let the election go by default. It Is another proof of the fact that conven- tions do not always represent the people, and it will no doubt be quite while be- fore they make another effort to get d sensible constitution.

with the growth or falling out of the human hair, and if that is the case the inference is that this peculiar microbe has just found it's way to the old man s cranium. and there should be some method how it may be made available. If there lis 8 bacillus which will cause hair to grow on heads where none ever grew before, 1t would be boon to humanity to corral and breed the species as boon to bald-headed members of the humaa race. There may be millions in it for the scientist who can get at the root of the mystery.

In The Richmond Dispatch of last Wed. cation from J. Thompson Brown, who is evidently well-posted lawyer. In this letter MT. Thompson discussed the case of MT. Crawford and Judge Campbell, about which The Advertiser has had something to say heretofore, and shows that the Judge was altogether wrong in his proceedings against MT. Crawford The portion of his comments, however which is of most interest in this con- clLding para graph, showing the absurdity of the Judges position:
 By way of illustration of the position above contended for take this hypothe- sis Suppose Rev. J. H. Crawford had published in his newspaper that Judge Campbell, in his ruling in the particular case, had acted corruptly, and when the reverend gentleman is hauled before the same Judge Campbell by his process of contempt, Mir. Crawford should file his answer, confessing the publication, and averring 1t to be true, and declaring his readiness to substantiate its truth by testimony. Would not that be some what embarrassing to Judge Campbell? Would he regard himsalf a fair and inn partial judge to try that issue? Ger tainly not. Then there is the clear re- ductio ad absurdum. And what a very hell of country would ours be under such regime as would be covered by the mode of a summary contempt process for such case as this.
