the Democrats in the coming campaign will make as much capital as possible out Of the army abuses in tho islands, and tho Republican leaders are trying to get into as good condition as possible to meet the charges of the opposition stump orators. and so tho President must take to parti- san speech making.
 The trust issue, it is believed, will be leiainaized by tho fact that the President ard the Attorney General have instituted action against two of the principal com biantions, and by the well known policy O. M" Roosevelt to enforce the existing laws in regard to trusts" said a Repub- licea leace-, uaniaGful Of the transpar- ent and purely ephemeral political char aotcr of the Attorney Generals recent action, and perversely blind to the fact that the Rooseveltian antitrust agitation is almost universally regarded as cheap trick to influence voters in the November elections.
 Poor Amos Cun1rnings-he has been for years the first favorite, personally, in the House of Representatives. To quote 'En- glish as she is spoke" in America, he was the most popular" man in the House; and if he could see this use of slang he would be pleased, for he has been much given to slang words and phrases except when writing for the New York Sun in other days, when vulgarisns were abso- lutely forbidden. He was long one of the best men in the service of the Sun when the Sun was the best edited newspaper in America. But alas the Sun now a-days som etimes falls into slang.
 In the House MT Cummings was every body's Amos" for everybody there loved him. No man with heart could know him and fail to feel for him degree of real affection.
 MT. Cummings was formerly resident of Alabama. though I am not aware that he was ever a citizen of that state. He long time ago resided for sometime, may be a year or two, in Tuskegee, that aristocracy which it remained for the great negro, Booker Washington, to make widely famous. MT. Cummings set the type for the weekly newspaper in that town. Subsequently, 1t seems. he dwelt for some months in Montgomery and set type for the Advertiser. In his brief au- photography in the Congressional Direc- tory he informs us that he "entered printing office as an apprentice when 12 years of age, and has set type in nearly every state in the Union." Mr. Cummings was born in New York state just sixty one years ago on May 15 1S41, and was a Union soldier in the war between the states.
 MT. Rittenhouse Moore of Mobile one of the largest contractors for govern ment harbor improvement in this coun- try, and one of the best of all good fel- lows in the world, is in Washington. His semi-annual contracts with the War De- pertinent aggregate millions of money. MT. Moore is a man of remarkable execu- tive ability and most charming character. His family which is represented in Bir- mingham by his brother, MT. Sydenham Moore, and by Mrs A. T. Henley, and in Northern Alabama by the ONeals, is one of the most distinguished in the state, to which 1t has furnished two Governors.
 Hon. Charles T. Pollard of Montgom- cry, one of the most honored of Black Belt politicians and society leaders, is spending a week in Washington. Cap tain Pollard favors the reappointment of Robert Barber, register of the govern ment land office in Montgomery, who is also in Washingt on. MT. Barber is a good man, and it Is understood that Senator Morgan and all the Alabama representa- tives have asked the President to reap point him. Colonel Wiley is strongly in- terested in him, In preference to any oth- CT Republican. as are Senator Morgan and Colonel Wiley's colleagues in the House. Former Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert, and a number of oth- CT distinguished Alabamians outside of Congress, have endorsed MT. Barber, and his re-appontment is practically assured.
 Lieutenant Noble Wiley, Colonel Wileys son, is now on his way to assume his du- ties with the United States army in the Philippines.
