SEES REAL WHITNEY MOTIVE.

N. Y. Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The report that William Collins Whit ney had decided to retire from business was general subject of conversation to- day Many professed to be incredulous and for mary reasons. In the first place If anyone were asked to say what "busi- ness" Mir. Whitney was engaged in it would be rather difficult to answer By profession Mir. Whitney is a lawyer He was once corporation counsel of New York and then President Cleveland made him Secretary of the Navy, and from that time he has been one of the best known men in this country to say nothing of England where his race horses and his love for sport on the turf helped to make him partly well known over there. But for many years MT. Whitney has been deeply interested In politics-he has pulled the political strings on more than one occasion in national, state and municipal politics-and a man who knows him well said today that he believed that the an- nouncement of MT. Whitney's retirement from business at this time was simply preparatory to his going Into training for the Democratic nomination for the Presi- dency in 1904.

LESSON FOR THE PRESIDENT.

l From the New York Evening Post.
 1 That big-hearted, one-eared rough | rider. Ben Daniel, whom President Roosevelt had appointed United States marshal of Arizona. forgot to tell the colonel of his old regiment that he had a jail record in Wyoming. This little inci- dent in a picturesque career was, how ever, brought to the attention of the Sen ate yesterday, and Daniels confirmation was unanimously reconsidered, and the nomination referred back to the Judiciary committee. This, we presume. is only preliminary to the Presidents withdraw ing 1t altogether. We cannot expect to have nothing but plaster saints" in of flee in Arizona, but we shall have to draw the line at convicts. It is one thing for a cowboy in the hot blood of youth to have had an unpleasant collision with the law twenty-three years ago. and to have undertaken reform. with the good will of all; but 1t Is quite another to re- ward him with office.
 MT Roosevelt knows his Southwest bet ter than most. and he is doubtless quite right in believing that an Arizona mar shal must be man who is ready to chase cattle thieves for three days and nights running, and to shoot, if necessary when he catches them-a very differently ouali- fled official, in short, from the one re- quired in the sedate and slothful East. But the Daniel incident shows that there is certain danger In tying up too closely to man simply because he can ride and shoot. and knows no fear. yet to whom larceny, and term in prison for 1t. may appear an unconsidered trifie not worth mentioning: and also that the temptation to regard rough riding as a mantle to cover a multitude of sins is one against which the President should be on his guard When he boldly and properly turns down." as he has just done, the Republican boss of Arkansas, backed by Senator Hanna, on the ground that their candidates were unfit. he must take extra pains to give the ungodly in the Senate no occasion to laugh at his own unwit- ting appointment of a iail-bird.

Wireless FeiearaDhV.

m Is. difficult to grasp wireless tel egraphy, or its possibilities, or it's Limitations That electric waves do travel through the air seems to be admitted on all hands and by all scientists that have investigated the subject, and that these waves can be detected and recorded is also conced- ed. It Is further stated that these waves do not become common prop erty when the sending instrument and the receiving instrument are at tuned the one to the other. But even if the new method be developed so that all etheric waves become as free as air, yet that fact would not destroy the value of wireless telegra- phy to the world. It might lessen it's commercial value to Signor Marconi.
 There has been a panic in cable stocks, and yet no message has been sent under the wireless plan across the sea-only some signals. It is not possible to put limit to the develop meuts of electrical science, but 1t is plain that cables will be useful many years longer, perhaps forever, simply because storms and atmospheric dis turbances do not affect them, where as the wireless method must necessa- rily be affected by atmospheric con ditions. The wireless method as 1t stands is uncertainty itself, whereas the cable is an every day workable agent
 It will doubtless be ascertained that wireless telegraphy has many limitations, especially when it is ap- piled to every day affairs. Certainty is required in such affairs, and the cable and land wires are certain and trustworthy, and just as speedy as the electric waves themselves. The disadvantages of the former are first cost only. But men will willingly pay for results that are trustworthy, and so it follows that wireless telegraphy has a long and stubborn fight before it. It must first demonstrate it's trust worthiness in all weathers. If it can not do that it can not displace the wires. big or little, on land or in sea.

AMERICAN vs. BRITISH COAL

From the London Petroleum Review
 rhere Is a danger of American coal competing with British in European mar kets. Only few years ago to contend that American coal could ever be broupht into England and into European markets to any serious, extent was considered an absurdity. But events have marched an rapidly since that time that those econ omists who could not and would not re cognize the enormous potentialities and possibilities of the American continent have scarcely had time to take breath before the fateful prophecy Is within reach of fulfllment We on this little is- land, with what are to us colossal stores or natural wealth, cannot but envy our american friends their possession of broad acres and vast stretches of country so richly endowed by nature It's devel- opment Is bound to come; It's power must be felt Unfortunately, we cannot in this as Tn other directions, call upon the
 British dominions beyond the seas'' to
 come and help us" Their coal resources are not built on very large scale, and what there is of them Is not developed to any great extent Already American coal has got foothold in the Mediter- ranean, and the exports into Merseilles rising from 10000 tons in 1900 to 100000 tons in 1901. Mir. Gurney, H. NJ. consul at Marseilles. says that American com petition will only become dangerous to British coal if high prices continue at home and If the American shipping in- terest succeeds in securing the passing of the bounty bill" We would add to MT. Gurney's remark twill only become dangerous' the time limit of lat present" because the progress of science and in- dustry will undoubtedly bring 1t about sooner or later.

crowded with traffic, and a million settlers have gone into Siberia. It is Europes one great transeontinental railroad. It is also Asian. It shows how rapidly Russian influence Is ex- tending eastward to the Pacific-how rapidly that power Is dominating Asia. There Is scarcely a movement of today of deeper importance in the long future. China, Japan and Eng land are helpless against this Rus sian railroad invasion, and 1t is plain that time will not help them out. Time and the railroads favor Russia.
 Nor are Russia's grand schemes confined to railroads. for she has en- gineers at work preparing plans for the construction of deep-water canal from the Baltic to the Black Sea. utilizing in it's course the Dnieper. the Beresina and the Didina rivers. hc OuiiuihS Ol cuSA Cdnul VIII bC very expensive, but 1t would im- mensely strengthen Russia as n naval power, for she could then quickly con oentrate her fleets in either the Pa cific or the Black Sea, whereas now she must maintain two independent fleets. Such a canal will put an addi- tional burden on the Russian tax payer, but as he is already heavily burdened he may not object to the addition. Objection from the peas ant or middle classes does not, how ever, in Russia accomplish much. and if the Czar's ministers decide that a canal is necessary to Russia's protec- tion and power a canal will assuredly be built.

CRITICISM OF VICTOR HUGO.
Opinion Offered That His Fame Will
 Not Endure.

George MacLean Harper in February
 Atlantic.
 = On the whole, it may as we'll be ad- mitted that the verdict of the critics upon Hugo's writings is just It might per- haps hefe and there be a little more gen. erous. But we must remember that Saint Beuve and Nisard and Lemaitre, at least. began by being ardent admirers of Hugo. If they lost their enthusiasm and freed themselves from his magic, we may believe them when they tell us that the process was Involuntary and painful. They could no longer. constrain their bet ter Judgment. And their judgment will stand. yr 7<N
 More and more. as education brinss the masses up to a level where current lit- erature becomes one of their interests popularity and fame will have to be care. fully distinguished. They rest on quite different bases. There is no longer any ground for the assumption that what the reading public enjoys will be approved by persons who know most or have the most refined taste. In Victor Hugo's case there Is at present every indication that what literary history will say a hundred years hence will be something like this.
 He was immensely popular in his day and long afterward. Although he was a character and an intelligence of secon- dary order, he was popularly accepted as leader of opinion and feeling in the nineteenth century. But posterity has hearkened not so much to the popular voice as to the great French critics of his time and they found him wanting in many qualities which the larger public though he possessed In compensation Inc critics appreciated. and posterity ap- preciates more than the general public Of his day ever did. Hugo's wonderful mastery of the French language. Hugo's energy and versatility, Hugo's exuber- ant imag agination"

Female Negroes in Alabama.

When we take Alabama at large we see that there are a few more males here than femals-about five thous. and more; but when we consider the negroes apart from the whites we see holds the fort. She numbers in the holds tn fort. She numbers in the State 41S,070 as against 409,237 male negroes. Montgomery has nearly 5000 more female than male negroes, and Mobile has about 1900 more of the former than the latter; Dallas, 5000 more, and Madison about 10O0 more. In twenty-six counties only of the State do the male negroes exceed their female companions in numbers, and in forty counties the reverse is the case.
 Jefferson is easily the leader on the male side. In this county there are 30,691 male negroes, and only 26,226 female negroes. The deficiency is 4465, but no one missed them. No doubt the industrial enterprises in Jefferson have induced many male negroes to come this way. There are few industries in this country that afford employment to females, while the mines and iron mills of the county are full of male negroes. They fairly swarm in them. This theory also applies to Bibb, Walker, Blount, Tuscaloosa, Shelby, St Clair and Etowah-all of which are mining counties.
 There Is, however, no considerable excess of female negroes in Lowndes. only 505 all told in a total exceeding S0,000. The truth is, the female ne- gro likes the towns. and it is there she is found to excess, and Birming- ham is no exception to the rule.

A Progressive Business Man.

Few representatives of large capital who visit Birmingham are more progress sive or keener in their grasp of financial problems than Sidney P March one of the new directors in the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power Company said a well known banker.
 Mir. March had thorough training in New Orleans under the elder Newman and for three years he has made his head quarters in New York where he Is con- nected with the great stock exchange firm of Ladenburg. Thalman Go. This concern is the strongest representative of foreign capital In the United States.
 MT. March is a staunch friend of Bir- mingham and of Alabama generally. He went from here to Talladega last Friday to look after large interests. He is presi- dent of the Birmingham and A4antic Railroad, running from Talladega to fell City. Mir. March has many personal friends in Birmingham and he always re- ceives a warm welcome here

The Mardi Gras City.

 Few cities in American are so attract i've to tourists as New Orleans. Although it is busy, progressive commercial town 1t is slow to give up old customs and institutions. It is pretty much the same New Orleans today that 1t was twenty-five years ago. One of the few of its institutions that was forced to be- come modernized was the fire depart ment.
 Up to ten or twelve years ago New Orleans held on to the volunteer system It was the only large city that could get along without paid department. Tn its fire companies were found prominent merchants lawyers and bankers and these men of high position paraded in their red shirts just as in the early day of fire laddies.

 Mayor Drennen in enclosing a copy of the ordinance to Mir. Rates took occasion to say that he hoped all cases of cruelty to animals would be reported, and that persons guilty of a violation of the or dinance would be convicted.

 MT. Sousa lnherits literary taste. One of his Portuguese ancestors on his ia ther's side was a great poet and his fa- ther was man of letters. The Fifth String is a story of wonderful violin and of remarkable love.

LYnchings in Kentucky and Tennessee

The lynching belt has been trans ferred to Tennessee and Kentucky simply because those States have governors who are politicians first and last, and who will not therefore stand up to the sheriffs of their res pective States. When governors lack backbone, sheriffs almost invariably ! do. AS long as Kentucky and Tennes- see have such governors they will be in the lynching belt, and at present they are monopolizing that very unde- sirable branch of lawlessness and dis order-a branch that leads directly to brutality, demoralization and more crimes.
 The Kentucky case was an aggra- vated one of the usual nature. But the negro criminal was in the hands of the sheriff; his conviction was as- sured, and there was ample notice of the intention of the mob. Not a step was taken however by either the governor of the State or the sheriff of the county. Between them they fairly invited lynching that was as unnecessary as it was demoralizing. The Tennessee case was a murder case that had been hanging fire sev- | nlya oA |, murder was committed several weeks ago, the trial judge continued the case, and this led directly to mob law, as the trial judge had every reason to believe 1t would After the lynching had occurred a mass meeting was called at the court house in Lynchburg. It was attended by citizens from all parts of the county and resolutions were adopted severely censuring the trial judge. It appears that the offending judge was told by | prominent citizens that unless he tried the man he would be supersed- ed by Judge Lynch. In the face of these warnings he continued the case and adjourned court. To suit his own convenience he brought upon his State and indirectly the South the disgrace of an additional lynching. Yet Governor McMillin has not act ed, and it is plain will not act. The real responsibility rests upon the chief executive of the State, for coun- ty officers can rarely be depended upon to do their duty in an emer- gency unless they are driven to it, or at least backed up, by the power of the State.
