ing considerably the present crisis.
The Cuban congress considers it adj
visable to aid the sugar planters,

pay the liberating army.

A GRAVE SITUATION.
How the Present Situation In France Over
the Closing of Unauthorized schools
Is Viewed at Rome

Rome Aug. 5.--The vatican regards
the present situation in France aris-
ing from the closing of unauthorized
congregationist schools as most
grave, as it is now believed to be the
intention of NJ. Combes, the French
premier, to denounce the concordat.
1t is reported that Cardinal Ram
polla, papal secretary of state, is still
in favor of temporiziEg with Frence,
fearing that the hostile attitude Of
the vatican toward that country
would lead to graver complications.
Some of the cardinals ad ocate an
entire rupture with France, thus an
ticipating that republic and prevent
the passage there of further anti
clerical laws.

A soLEMN DUTY.

Men who complain most Of mis-govern-
ment are those who take no part In select
ing those who are to nil public offices.
This is broad statement but 1t is lament
ably true. Republican government III Ala
barna was a scandal and disgrace and
beaped so many burdens upon the white
peop,e that they were aroused in 1874 as
they have never been since. They went
to the polling places then and threw
off the weight of evil which had 50 long
rested upon them. In recent years, how
ever. many OF our people have become
ner,eftful and fail to discharge the
great duties of citizenship. They nave
been taking things for granted ana the
habit Of not voting has grown upon then
Suppose the view that their votes are
not needed should be taken today by
enough Democrats to endanger the result
of the State election. II not to give 1t 10
the Republicans, how would these nom
voters then feel. They have no rlght
to take anything for granted. The Demo-
Gratis have wisely administered public az
fairs, and have given us a new cohsu'"-
ton which rids the State of the negro
vote. Today will be held the first cleo
ton under the new law and THAT Demo-
crat who fails to vote Is indirectly casting
discredit upon those who have done so
much for the State. Every Democrat
should take pride in casting vote to-
day for all the Democratic nominees.

DIR. CURRY COMING.

For two or three weeks to come it will
remain doubtful whether President Roose-
welt can undertake his proposed Southern
journey including the visit to Booker
Washingtons school at Tuskegee. The
chances are in favor of the proposition,
seeing that the President has already
blocked-out. so to speak. his annual mes
sage to Congress. inasmuch as all the
salient features of the message have been
determined upon. The rest is matter of
verbiage and its dictation to the steno-
graphers. 1t Is well known that the
President is keenly DESTROYS of the pro-
posed bear-hunt in Mississippi. 1t is
equally we'll known that he cherishes
desire to visit Booker Washingtons re-
nowned school for negroes.
You may also shortly see in Alabama
a distinguished former citizen of that
State, DR.. ]. L. M. Curry, who is now
in North Carolina, convalescent after a
very dangerous illness. 1t Is learned here
that DR.. Curry is not likely to return
to Washington before next spring, but
that he WILL after spending few weeks
more in North Carolina. proceed further
South. 1t is understood to be his desire
to visit the scenes of his old political
activity in Alabama.

AGAIN IN WHITE HOUSE.

After an absence of something more
than four months. President Roosevelt is
again a dweller in the White House,
though at the moment he is technically,
not In residence there. for he has gone to
Oyster Bay to vote tomorrow.
Mr. Roosevelt's wounded leg is now en-
tirely healed and the crutch and the
stick has been discarded, never again. let
us hope, to be called into use. There is
no doubt that he keenly enjoyed his out
ing in the Virginian fields, for he had
been laid-up nearly a month. and all be-
cause of the criminal recklessness of a
trolly-car motorman in Massachusetts,
who probably deserves to be hanged Still
if every reckless motorman in the United
States were hanged. there would be an
appreciable reduction of the male popula-
ton.
There has come to me- at second hand.
by the way, story related by General
Joseph Wheeler that is thoroughly illus
trative of Mr.. Roosevelt's dominant trait
of character-that is, his perfect conf
denee in himself.
Mr.. Roosevelt. then Colonel of volun-
teers in the army of which he is now
supreme in command. was subordinate to
General Wheeler in the campaign of San
tiago. After the fall of Santiago, the
General and the Colonel who were and
are warm personal friends, sailed on the
same ship landing subsequently at the
now famous camp on Mautauk Point
Long Island.
One night the two officers were pacing
the deck of the ship, when suddenly, and
apropos of nothing, Colonel Roosevelt
turned to General Wheeler and said i'm
pulsively:

TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.
The Power and influence of Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland.

Washington Post.
Ex-President Cleveland. in his occa-
sional manifestations of interest in poll
tics and a desire to see his party reha-
bllitated and reinstated in the position
which 1t held during the first two years
of his second term, encounters so much
of unkind treatment at the hands of the
Democrats mat the Republicans could
well afford to treat MIN courteously. The
Bryan newspapers miss no opportunity
of shying dornicks at the head OF the
only Democrat who has filled the presi-
dental office since JImes Buchanan's I'M
happy term exp - Need Republican
papers emulate tn N"1ple?
The ex-President Ii nd never mas
been a sympathizer with Republican prin-
ciples and policies, except in the matter
of sound currency. On that question he
stands, and has always stood, with JEFF
ferson. jackson and Benton. 1t was not
his fault tat the majority of his PARTY
cut loose from the doctrine OF the fath-
ers, nor was he to blame for the exist
ence of conditions in 1896 that rendered
him and his following. including most
of the Democratic leaders. virtually al
lies of the Republican party.
Being a Democrat, what could be more
natural or commendable on tne part OF
Mr.. Cleveland than to desire ana Work
for the reorganization of his party on
Democratic principles? That Is precisely
what the country needs moro than any
thing else at this time. That need is
recognized by the wise men of both par
ties.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-11-04

Under the Constitution which the Radi-
Gals forced upon the people of Alabama
in 1868. thousands of men who had prior
to that time served the people in honora-
BILE positions were deprived of the right
to register as voters, and no one was
allowed to vote without registering. Some
of the men who voted for that Constitu-
ton are leaders of the Republican Party
in this State today. Whenever an Ala
bamian gets a chance to show his OPPOSE
ton to the Party responsible for the
horrors of reconstruction days he should
do so. That time is at hand now when
Republicans are seeking to elect men of
that Party to State offices. to the Legis-
lature and to Congress. Every Demo-
crat from one end of the State to the
other, who is qualified voter should cast
his vote today for William d. Jelks for
Governor and all the other nominees for
State offices. Every Democrat should
also vote for a Democrat for Congress
and Democrats to go to the State Legis-
lature. Hit the Republicans hard and
let them understand that the so-called
lilly white" brand is the same old thing
under a new name.
