abuse of the South is to be the basis
of IL.
The essence of the case is of course
the desire of the Vanderbilt family
to name a Senator from New York
through the use of the subservient
Legislatures that customarily sit at
Albany. The popular election of Sen
ators by direct vote would destroy
this privilege of the house of Wander
bilt, and in order to defeat it. or
rather to postpone it-for it is newt
able-their ancient and trusty agent
and henehman has invented a scheme
by which Comprehension is to be
utilized and made to serve the Van
derbilts.
Plutocracy and Crumpackerism thus
become twins, and a very fine pair
they are! And the ancient Depew is
their prophet. Stale jokes are cast
aside, and Crumpackerism is to be
used to defeat the popular will that
one of the ruling families of the land
may have at all times it's own Senator
on the spot to keep off income taxes
and other legislation that it sees fit
to squelch But after a while there
will be an awakening of the people.
When the people do demand in earn
est the election of United States Sen
ators by direct vote then indeed the
Vanderbilts and their Depews will go
down like house of cards. They will
be swept away like chaff, and that
hour is fast coming. The fantastic
capers of Agent Depew will hasten
its coming.

GIVE THE MASSES A CHANCE.

From the Greenville Advocate.
There is no good reason which can be
urged now why the Democratic party
should not hold a general state primary to
select candidates. The politicians who are
used to trading and trafficking in a
state convention may put forward some
fiimsy excuse to try to turn the tide of
popular sentiment which is clamoring for
a primary, but to the unbiased thinking
Democrat, who has the good of his party
at heart, everything appears favorable to
giving the white people a chance to ex-
press their choice in selecting candidates
In truly Independent, equitable and
honest manner. The negro Is no longer a
nightmare In Alabama politics, and If
there ever was an excuse for the conven-
ton it has passed away with the changed
conditions in our state politics. The DEM
ocrats Of Alabama certainly have a right
to say who they prefer for their standard
bearers, and we believe they will turn
down any man who attempts to rob them
of this vested right. We cease TO have an
Independent government for and by the
people when our party nominations are
made and contr oiled by small handful
of professional politicians, whose only
wish is to put themselves or personal
friends In office, irrespective of their
fitness for the places or of the wishes
of the rank and file of the Democracy of
the state. A general primary is what the
people want and they should have 1t.

TO RENOvATE WHITE HOUSE.
Interior Will Be Changed for the First
Time Since Arthur's Term.

Washington, April 16.-For the first
time since Presidents Arthur's admin
istration the White House is to have
a thorough renovating in artistic lines
Mrs. Roosevelt has had her attention
called to the building and to the pressing
need of new furnishings and adornments
to make the place suitable for entertain
ment of large parties.
One feature Of the plan of renovation
is to turn the great east room into a
state dining room which can also be
used as a ball room. The White House
dining service is a strange conglomera-
ton of antique and modern glass, silver
and porcelain The new service which
is wanted will be of Sevres porcelain.
Much new furniture of modern style Is
required in place of the nondescript types
now in portions of the house devoted to
social uses To defray the expense Of this
undertaking an estimate of about $4,000
was submitted to Congress and as re-
ported today the sundry civil bill con-
tanned the necessary allotment.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give
delight and hurt not.
Tempest.
Exclusion of the Chinese.

The Chinese laborer is not wanted
in this country. He accepts low
wages. and he is not open to assim-
ilation. He has no ambition towards
American citizenship-on the con-
trary, he proposes to go back to China
just as soon as he has accumulated a
comfortable sum. His own country is
good enough for him. This is a compli-
ment to China, but it does not serve
American plans and PURPOSES, and SO
John Chinaman must be excluded.
The present exclusion law has no
doubt been evaded by slick Cinnamon
who come in via Mexico or British
Columbia, but still it has worked so
we'll that it has reduced the number
in this country from 119,050 in 1890 to
1928 In 1900. One-half of this num-
Der Is in California, and that State
has In a decade lost nearly one-third
of its Chinese. There were In the
census year but 72,472 Chinese in
California. Oregon has 10000; New
York, 1000, and the State of Washing
ton. 5000. The other States have not
enough to attract attention or arouse
opposition.
The pending bill excludes the Chin
csc from the Philippines, which lie
not far from Canton, the chief seat of
Chinese emigration. The Chinese are
the traders of the Orient, and their
exclusion from the Philippines will be
more strongly felt and perhaps more
keenly resented than exclusion from
the United States will be. 1t is In
deed a grave question as to whether
the exclusion of the Chinese from the
philippines will not seriously hinder
the development of the islands. The
Filipinos do not like to work, and
they are not enterprising. BY shutting
out the Chinese we may be condemn
ing the archipelago to decay or a
least to stagnation.
The new bill will go into effect IL
May, when the old law will expire by
limitation. 1t is In several respects
more stringent than the old law, and
it means that the Chinese must keeI
away. They are good enough to sell
goods to in their own country, but
they are not good enough to enjoy
the privileges of society under the
stars and stripes.

FAIR FOR BOTH.
rom the Dothan Siftings.

from the Dotnan Sl1IlnBb.
The Sftings cannot see any good
grounds for opposition to a state primary.
The old convention system has outlived
its usefulness and there is unquestionably
an overwhelming sentiment for a primary.
1t will give more general satisfaction,
create more harmony and accomplish
more toward allaying strife and bitterness
than anything that could be done. Those
who cannot see that a primary Is what
the people want certainly do not under
stand the people or the situation. Sup
pose that Johnston and his fellows DO
want it. Jelks' friends want 1t, too, and
we should not, If it Is good, oppose 1t be-
cause Johnston wants 1t. What is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander.'
and we can beat Johnston just as easily,
If not bit easier. by treating Johnston
fairly than to do wrong. There is de-
sire for a straight. fair primary. and let's
have 1t and smash the old methods. The
old methods" have been worn thread
bare and unsightly: let's smash EN-
That was the chief purpose and true
spirit of the new constitution.

The precise date of General Miles COM

Cuba and Beet SUGAR.

| The concession that the Cuban reci-
procity bill offers is not sufficient to
bring prosperity to the new republic,
but still it is difficult to see how any
Democrat can vote against it. 1t would
be a reduction of the Dingley rates,
and the Democratic party is pledged
to tariff reductions. One-ffth of a,
loaf is better than no bread, and any
reduction would be in line with Dem
ocratic pledges. When Mr.. Under
wood and a majority of the Alabama
delegation, and every Democratic
leader and two-thirds of all the Dem
ocrats voted in favor of taking UP
the Cuban reciprocity bill they were
certainly voting in accordance with
the pledges of the Democratic party.
Any concession to the Cubans would
be in accordance with good Demo
cratic doctrine. Any defeat Of the
selfish Oxnard interest would vindi-
cate Democratic principles.
handful of Republican members
from beet sugar districts in the North
west are determined to force upon the
country Dingleyism in it's worst form,
no matter what our moral obligations
to Cuba may be, or what the consumer
may have to pay for sugar. With them
the beet sugar grower is bigger
man than all the rest of the country.
The Age-Herald fails to see how any
Democrat can consistently play into
the hands of the beet sugar interest.
When one industry stands up and
defies both the logical results of the
war with Spain so far as Cuba is con-
cerned and all the rest of the country
and even its own party, we have
Dingleyism at it's worst, and no Dem
ocrat can afford to asst such move
ment.
Every Democrat should vote for
the Cuban reciprocity bill after. .of
course. every expedient has been ex-
hausted for obtaining a better con-
cession. If the Republicans of the
House will not grant an adequate re-
duction, the Republicans of the Sen
ate may, and any vote cast against
the bill in it's ultimate form will be
as unwise as it would be undemo-
cratic.
Every Alabama member should
especially support it, because the bill
does hold out some hope of promo
ton of trade between this country
and Cuba. and our foundries and fur
naces and coal mines and cotton mills
and lumber interests would be bene-
fitted. Mobile and Pensacola are very
near Havana, and any Alabama men,
Der who opposes the reciprocity bill
opposes not only Democratic princi-
pies, but also the trade interests of his
own State.

This is the first time the iron-makers

helpful to all interests. Had we allowed
prices to jump to ST or SIS early in the

tumbling down. The policy Of sticking to
$l2 basis was certainly wise and profit

HAS TRIED II.
From the Tuscumbia Democrat.

From the Tuscumbia Democrat.
The question of a state primary in
the Democratic party is being favorably
discussed by the papers and a number of
our leading politicians favor it. The re-
cent primary in this county demonstrated
the wisdom of selecting the nominees of
our party by that method The cam
paign was short and spirited, yet, after
1t Is over, there are no charges, or coun-
ter charges of fraud, and the best of
feeling prevails. What is good for a
part Is good for a whole. and we voice
sentiments, and we believe those of
a majority of our citizens In asking for
a state primary, conducted absolutely
fairly and honestly. The people demand
ed fair elections and there is now no
excuse for other methods.
