ADJUSTMENTS.
At the RIlou.

The second week at the Bijou theatre opened last night. The audience was large and the performance good. Each number of the programme was new, clever and original, and each pleased the audience and was encored.
 VanFasson and NfcAuley, eccentric comedy duo, were good They introduced a few steps in grotesque dancing that was out of the ordinary, and which caught the audience
 Provost and Provost. creators of fun in "A Turkish Bath" were clever, and Introduced deal of acrobatic comedy that was pleasing.
 MT. and Mrs. Stuart Darrow in their shadographs, sand and smoke pictures presented features entirely new to Bir- mingham audiences. Perfect pictures and scenes were made with sand strewn on backgrounds of white and blue cloth.
 Baker and Lynn. the comedy duo, in the Electric Boy" presented sketch that was highly amusing, and kept the audience in a condition bordering on the hilarious during their stay cn the stage.
 Eddie Mack, comedian and dancer, was original and clever His limitations exa- outed while dancing of the coon starting for the restaurant, the man who owns the street and the little girl who had the grand stand play'' of baseball play CTS, caught the audience.
 Martin Brothers, musical entertainers were repeatedly encored Their rendi- tions of Souoa's marches was the best ever heard on the instruments they used.
 Leon Morris, with his comedy ponies, was a success. These little animals are perfectly trained and perform original and wonderful tricks.
 As a whole, the entertainment last night, and which will continue through the week, fuifills all the promises made by the management at the opening of the Bijou-that they would put on nothing but first-class performances, and per- formances, too. that could bear the mil nutest criticism with credit.

of this experience, SIR. Hoar would turn
over the affairs Of the Philippines arch
ipelago, for which the United States
is now responsible, ID men b take
them enc with another, are less quail
fled to set up or conduct a government
than were the negroes OF the south thir-
ty-five years ago. History in this mat
ter has taught the Massachusetts sena-
tor nothing.
Mr.. Morgan, on the contrary. applies
the lesson fully and unerrinsly. He
would not ave given b recently en-
~franchised race in the south the ballot.
He would have required OF II some
preparation for the duties OF citizen
ship. And SEEING now how unhappy
the fruits were of the policy OF Thadeus
Stevens and others IN that matter, the
| Alabama senator refuses TO assist in
making this country responsible before
the world for a government whose
| projectors would be wholly without ex-
perience of any kind in governmental
matters. He is not only in favor of
American sovereignty in the Philip
pines, but OF such a government there
as will reflect the best capacity of the
people of the islands for government,
n SO regulated as will rapidly fit the
whole people for a part In the conduct
OF their affairs This is wisdom, and
justice, and good craftsmanship.
Mr.. Clay said that he would rather
be right thar be president. 1t is better
to be right than to be consistent But
in this matter il is Mr.. Morgan'S great
distinction to be both. His present pos
ition squares with his cast position. and
at the same time meets the complete
requirements of the occasion"
The most remarkable thing about the
above is that it is an editorial from The
Evening Star of Washington City, a
rank republican paper.
A higher tribute to Senator Morgan
| could not have come from his greatest
admirer within his own party. His pos
ition on the Philippine question is an
tagonistic to the views of his party, but
is consistent with his own and those of
his party on the same principles APP
piled heretofore under similar condi-
tions in III country. Senator Morgan
then opposed Acknowledgement Of an il
l~iterate race in the United States, and
for the same reasons and on the same
high principle he opposes placing the
government Of the Philippines in the
hands of an incompetent people.
1t is gratifying to see that this south
ern senator is given full credit for con-
sistency and acting in this important
matter on principles that do not change
with the location of the subject mat
ter of legislation.
1t would be interesting to know what
are Senator Hoar's views now as to the
work of his party in the south in re-
construction days; whether he agrees
with tho great many of his pOIitica1 as
sociates and many able men among the
negroes themselves who The Evening
Star. as above quoted, says now con-
slider the enfrachisement of the south
ern negroes in 1858 to have been a mis-
take.

The rapid progress of the south in the
cotton manufacturing industry cannot
be more clearly shown than by the
simple statement that UP to the begin
ming of the present month the southern
mills took AZ per cent of the entire
quantity of cotton taken for consump-
ton by all the mills of the United
States. At the present rate of ad-
vancement the southern mills will in d
few years be consuming more cotton
annually than the mills of the north.
We confidently believe that the time
will come, and it is not so far distant.
when the bulk of the cotton will he
manufactured in our section.
All the cotton that is grown will be
built than are needed, including those
now in operation at the north, to con-
sumo the cotton, the northern mills Will
be the oneS to go out of business and
surrender this industry to those of the
south. No one now denies the fact that
cotton can be manufactured cheaper at
the south, that is the coarser grades.
and when our mills turn their attention
more to the liner grades the north will
have to acknowledge defeat. This
branch of the industry is steadily
growing here and will increase more
rapidly as it is seen that it car be sue
cessfully carried on. The south is
bound to become the cotton manufac-
turing section of the country
What then can prevent the south be-
coming the richest and most prosperous
country in the world. AS an agricul-
tural country she can n will produce
all food products required to support a
population much greater tina she now
contains. She will grow the bulk OF
the worlds supply of cotton and man
u~facture ii foY the worlds markets.
She can support herself within her W
territory and draw wealth from be-
yond her borders.

POSTMASTER HANCOCK's JOKE.

Mr.. Hancock. the republican postmas-
ter Of New Bern. goes to Washington
City and runs across Il Post reporter.
OF course he has to talk about North
Carolina politics. He tells the Post rep
resentative that the next legislature
will be democratic, but viii r~e-elect
Senator Pritchard. Hear what The
Post says of his interview:
In conversation with a Post reporter,
Mr.. Hancock said: / do not hesitate to
predict hat Senator Pritchard will be
elected as his own succ5 ssor next JAN
uary. The legislature will have a demo-
cratic majority, no douDt, but the ma
chine will not dominate, and there will
be enough independent dem 7crats who
will combine with the republicans to in
sure his return
His splendid services to mis- state
have caused him to win the good will
and respect of men of ali parties, and I
have heard frequently CT late some of
the most intense democrats in North
Carolina express rs opinion that he de-
serves reelection, and that they will
help him bring it about.
If Mr.. Hancock really believed the
yarn he give the Post ne ought to be
deposed as postmaster of New Bern on
the ground of want of mental capacity;
but perhaps Mr.. Hancock did not
know that the Post had any circula-
ton in North Carolina, or if he knew it,
thought its readers here would give
him credit for getting eff a huge joke
on the paper.

SENATOR'S MORGAN AND HOAR.

A correspondent OF The Star in a
communication which appeared in
Tuesdays issue tool .ne ground that
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Morgan were the
consistent statesmen in the Philippine
contest in the senate and cited their re-
spective attitudes in the matter of po-
litical control in the south as proof of
his assertion. Consistency is not so
much the question as wisdom. Which
of the two was the man? Which show
ed in his deliveranCe on the Philippine
bill the proper appreciation of the his
tory which bears upon the Philippine
problem?
Mr. Hoar Endorsed his party's action
in comforting suffrage upon the negroes.
Whether he today considers that action
to have been a mistake is not known

THE APPALACHIAN PARK.

II is encouraging to those interested
in the establishment of a natural re-
serve in the Appalachian range of
mountains to see that Senator Depew.
of New York, has interested himself IN
the matter and strongly advocates the
bill now pending in the senate, which
provides for the appropriation OF &c.
000, 900 by the government for the pur-
chase of the immense tract OF land and
the establishment of the reservation.
The senator made a speech in the SEN
ate Saturday favoring the passage of
the bill.
This vast tract of land, lying in six
states and containing 1000. 600 acres,
much OF il covered by forests in the
original growth of the finest hard
woods in the world, is fast being laid
waste by the lumbermen. The noun
tains are being denuded for the sake OF
the present profits to be had out of the
hard woods, with no thought to the
damage to the forests or the injury 20
result from their destruction to a much
larger area OF territory. Senator De-
pew in his speech sale that unless the
government protected these forests
they would be entirely destroyed in ten
years.
Lay bare these mountains and the
injury will extend for beyond the area
so treated. The disastrous effect on
agriculture will be felt far we the six
states in which the proposed reserve
lies. The finest grazing lands in the
country will be destroyed. What nov
are good farming and grazing lands
Will become almost as arid as the sand
plains of the southwest, with rushing
torrents after heavy rains that will de-
strOy what crops the droughts permit
To- grow.
Not for reasons of utility alone should
these vast forests be saved from de-
structiOn. Unsurpassed by any section
OF the American continent for beauty
and grandeur of scenery, this Land of
the Sky should be preserved for the
generations to come. 1t should not be
sacrificed to one generations greed.
