The Glorious Ath.

Despite all difficulties and differ
ences that annoy and divide the
American people in the pursuits that
employ them throughout the year,
the zest and zeal with which they
unite in commemoration Of the ma
tional birthday is u sure guarantee
Of the perpetuity of the republic.
Reports show that the l26th anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was hailed and honored by the
eighty millions now constituting
this mighty nation, with joy and
gladness, as was the anniversary of
the same day by the five millions
who comprised the people of the
United States one hundred years ago.
In this manifestation of patriotism
the people of Iowa County partici-
pated. Business persuits were al
most wholly suspended. On the farms
the blowing Of corn and making Of
hay, though pressingly needed, was
left to wait; the ring of mechanics
hammers was stilled; the miner
ceased his search for ores; the marts
of trade We're closed; while the peo-
pie in various appropriate ways ex-
pressed their joy that "this nation,
conceived in liberty and dedicated 70
the principle that all men are Gre
ated epual," still lives and has bright
prospects of increased greatness for
the future.
Mineral Point.city's part in the OBJ
servance consisted in attendance of
her citizens at exercises had in ada
cent villages and neighborhoods, and
in family picnics and festivals. Dele
gates from the city attended the eX-
ercises at Linden, Dodgeville, Jones
dale and Willow Springs, and reports
from each leave it in doubt as to
which was best, all being pronounce
ed worthy OF the day and croditab BILE

WORKING FOR SPEARS
ALABAMA REPUBLICANS DIs-
 PLAY INT<REST.
MT. Burnett as ifs Friends Not Disturbed t$ le Activity of
 Those Se(S to Dust Him.

washins. feb 1.-(special)-It has develope hin the past two or three days t. epublican influence is at work in tb .c nett-spears contest for the seat in~ ..ess from the Seventh Alabama DistrN. This influence is thrown to the Spears side of the contest. of course Just what the influence amounts to has not been fully ascertained. But 1t Is be- lieved that it comes from certain Repub- licans of Alabama who are so3ourning in the capital at this particular time.
 Members of the Committee on Con tested Elections. 1t Is said, have been ap- preached either directly or indirectly by persons who claim to know facts which go to prove correct charges made by Spears of illegal voting in the election in the Seventh District.
 The committee, 1t will be remembered. is now considering the contest, and Is expected to make a report soon.
 Neither MT. Burnett nor his friends are apprehensive in the slightest degre, even in the face of the rumors of the Repubii- can Influence for Spears. They assert that there can be no proof submitted to sustain a charge of illegal voting in the district were such proofs in existence, they claim, Spears and his attorneys would have presented them at the com mittee hearing last week.

AFTER BARBER'S PLACE
TATuM, DEANS AND WINES ARE
 APPLICANTS.
Notwithstanding the Warm Fight, the disappointment of the Pres1 ent Incumbent is Look
 ed For.

Washington, Feb 1.-(Speciai.)-Aia- bama patronage-seekerss are expecting the President to announce early next week the re-appointment of Robert Ear her as the Register in the United States Land once at Montgomery in spite of the fact that several other candidates have been pulling hard for the job re- gently. Among those who are after the place are Grifin Tatum of Montgomery, c. B. Deans, who was once a Populist candidate for Governor of Alabama and Ab Wimbs, . negro.
 Tatum's claims to the place are based, H Is said, on the friendship which ex- isted between Buck Taylor" or Ser ry Tatum. and President Roosevelt.
 Berry Tatum, so the story goes joined Santiago under the name of Buck ray- Tor. There he participated in the fight with the Spaniards and was wounded in . radiant charge. After the war he went to New York where Roosevelt looked af- ter him and gave him several offices. The Montgomery man made speeches for Roosevelt during his hot campaign for Governor and later was given a position in the Census office which place ne was crcditably filling at the time of his death.
 Notwithstanding Griffin Tatum's ciaitn to the job on the ground of being a brother to Berry Tatum, 1t Is believed by the fact of his being a Democrat will keep the President from appointing him fin the place of a Republican who is said to have a good record in office.
 The place Is worth about 5000 per year in fees. Milt Saul.

PRINCE HENRY IN AMERICA
Distinction Between His Actual and
 Official Arrival.

Berlin, Feb l.-Prince Henry of Prus- sia will not officially arrive in America until he has walked across the Thirty- fourth Street pier, New York City tset apart for the use of the North German Lloyd steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm and the imperial yachU ascended the Hohen- zoilern's gangway, and the imperiai stah- dard Is hoisted.
 Various suggestions have been capleo from Washington as to where and how thc Prince will be transferred from the Kron Prinz Wilhelm to the yacht. Prince Henry has decided that it will be most convenient for the steamship to dock on one side of the pier and the Hohenzol- Tern on the other on board the yacht he will receive Mayor Low and the other members of the welcoming party.
 The United States Ambassador Andrew D. White, the Secretary of the United States Embassy John B. Jackson and all the other members of the embassy will assemble at the railway station to- morrow to bid an official farewell to Prince Henry who will leave Berlin at Q a. m for Kiel. The Prince will re- turn from Kiel February 9, to receive the Emperor's farewell instructions, but it is expected that he will go to potsdam and not visit Berlin.

AT THE END OF HER ROPE.
France Cannot Further Expand Her Army.

Paris Feb. 1-Colonei Picquart, who was prominent in the defence of Captain Dreyfus, is publishing. in The Grande Revue, a series of articles on the mili- tary resources, whereas Germany has ample resources with which to increase her strength France. therefore, must modify her army system and he suggests various reforms.
 Then. discussing the question of Frances alliances, the Colonel declares himself in favor of an alliance with Great Britain, and says France will new CT consent to an alliance with Germany. which would imply definite renuncia- ton of Aisace- Lorraine.
 A French alliance with Great Britain and Italy, however. would. he claims. procure military advantages of the first order. because it would give France com- plete naval freedom in war with Ger many, while if the alliance provided for the active cooperation of Great Britain the advantages would be incalculable.
 The allied fleets would command the seas, Germany's food supplies would be cut off and Germany could not sustain a prolonged struggle.
 French feeling against Great Britain on account of the Fash"da incident and the South African war will die out, and re- ferrfng to the criticisms of the value of the British army. he says that when the South African war is concluded, Great Britain will have at her disposal great number of seasoned troops. with which to reinstitute the British military forces.

BRIBERY IN ST. LOUIS
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY X MADE PUBLIC.
A Bench Warrant is Issued for Henry Nicolaus, a Director of the su- burban Street Railway
 Company.

St. Louis, Feb. 1.-The grand jury whichahas been Investigating the facts in connection with the attempt to pass 2 bill through the municipal assembly. granting certain franchises to the Subur- ban Street Railway Company by the al- 1ered use of a corruption fund of $135, 900, returned this evening it's final report and sdjourned.
 Two hours before the report of the grand jury was submitted bench war rant was issued for Henry Nicolaus. a director of the Suburban Street Railway Company, ordered by the retiring body which returned an indictment against Nicolaus charging him with bribery in connection with the suburban case.
 Up to a late hour tonight MT. Nicolaus had not been arrested.
 Referring to the subject of municipal corruption, the report says:
 Investigation which we have made into the corrupt method by which franchises have been obtained from the city, and which has resulted in number of tn- dictments, has proved to us that this form of corruption is much more general than has been supposed. although the re- sort to such practices with more or less frequency has been known. It has been impossible for us to make a complete ex- animation on this kind of offenses with in the time appointed by law for our ser vice and the work which We have begun must be taken up by the grand jury which will immediately succeed us.
 We believe that all franchises for the use of the cIty's streets should be sold to the highest and best bidder, after due public notice has been giveh and that the plundering of the city of it's property under the name of granting franchises should cease, yet if the present system is to be continued. much can be done to improve conditions. We suggest that laws be enacted, which will provide that where a municipal legislator is bribed by the party or parties seeking the fran chise, to aid in the grant of franchise. upon his or any one else turning inform ant and securing the conviction of the person who has bribed him. the ordinance granting the franchise shall be forfeited and the same franchise, including all property used within and owned by the corporation owning the franchise. shall be sold at public auction upon due ad- vertisement, the informant to receive 26 per cent. of the proceeds. the remainder to be paid into the city treasury. Under such a law, to obtain franchise by cor ruption, would render it practically yalueless and would be attended by so much danger that few would engage in this sort of corruption, and none with out great risk of punishment and loss of

The present difficulty in the islands is found fin the case with which the educated Fill pinos control or oppress their own peo- pie. In the province of Cagagan they have a system of caciquism or bossism. and these bosses have almost the power of life and death. It Is exceedingly diff ficult to get into the minds of a people situated as are the common people the fact that this is not the only way of liv- ing.

 Replying to questions by Senator Raw lins, Governor Taft said that three of the members of the Federal party were as- sociated in the government of the isl- ands, but notwithstanding this fact. the government was in no way responsible for the promises of statehood made that party in it's platform.
