Splendid Cathedral.

'"The Catholic cathedral which will soon be in course of construction at Rich mond Va, is principally the gift of Thomas F. Ryan of New York, the mil lionaire partner of William c. Whitney," said a Yirglnian.
 MT. and Mrs. Ryan together have given to Catholic institutions in Virginia within the past two or three years some- thing like half million dollars.
 Mrs. Ryan built a $35,000 church in Manchester, opposite Richmond; $s5, 900 parochial school in Richmond, and s35,- 900 or s4O,OOO church in Lynchburg. And just after these buildings had been com pleted MT. Ryan sent his check for $25O- 900 to Bishop Van de Vyver to be ap- piled to the cathedral fund.- It is said every dollar the Ryans have contributed has been unsolicited. MT. Ryan was born in Nelson county, Virginia, and his good wife was born in Campbell county I be- lieve.
 'The site upon which the Richmond cathedral will be erected was paid for by the members of St. Peters congrega- ton while Archbishop Keane was bishop of that see years ago. It is in the most fashionable part of the city and is valued at s750OO."

Future of Cuba.

From the New York Press
 Who is the ablest living Cuban? Senor Francisco Figueras of Havana, accord ing to the best judges. He has written, therefore, at the request of the Cuban American league, a lecture on Cuba, which Is to be for use all over the Amer ican continent. On this subject the pres ident of the league, pr. William O. Me- Dowell, says: "To me Cuba stands for something greater, if possible. than the Monroe doctrine. The American continent is, in tongue, half Spanish, half Anglo American. How can the spanish-speaking nations be so helped as to become safe opponents, safe defenders of the repub- lcan theory of government? Porto Rico Is a great success and a credit to tho United States. Cuba threatens to be most disastrous failure. Somehow, out of this threatened failure must come the right and successful solution of this great problem. President Mckinley grasped 1t right when he said to the individual com missioners, If you were only a member of the family. how easy 1t would all be-"

BLACK SHEEP.

By Richard Burton From their folded mates they wander far, Their ways seem harsh and wild; Theys follow the beck of baleful star, Their paths are dream-beguiled Yet haply they sought but wider range, Some loftier mountain slope. And little rocked of the country strange Beyond the gates of hope. And haply a bell with turing call Summoned their feet to tread Midst the cruel rocks, where the deep
 pitfall
 And the lurking snare are spread. Maybe. in spite of their tameless days Of outcast liberty, They're sick at heart for the homely
 ways
 Where their gathered brothers be. And oft at night, when the plains fall
 dark
 And the hills loom large and dim, For the shepherds voice they mutely
 hark.
 And their souls go out to him. Meanwhile. Black sheep! black sheepl" we cry, Safe in the inner fold; And maybe they hear, and wonder why, And marvel, out in the cold.

THE COMMITTEES ADDRESS.

From the Mobile Item.
 The address of Hon. Edwin K. Camp bell chairman of the democratic cam paign committee, which Is published in another part of today's Item, is an able and instructive paper, one which places the conditions of the democratic party squarely and plainly before the people of the state and should be read by every voter in the state whatever be his politics. There is no mistaking the meaning of any paragraph or no chance of being de- ceiyed as to the meaning of the promises.
 As a result of the primary election, the democrats have but one ticket in the field, there Is no division under the new regime, hence the committees appeal is universal as far as the democrats are concerned.
 We must at present admit the fact that for the first time in many years the dem- ocratie party of Alabama has an or ganized opposition, a minority party, we submit, but a party which has the ele- ments of cohesion and which will build and increase only by division and bad management of the democratic party of the state.
 Let every democrat, therefore, read tho address of the committee and show his loyalty to the party by voting and work ing for full vote in November.

place. It is always with us. part and parcel of fixed conditions handed down from past events.
 The one lesson to be drawn from the Littleton incident is that common sense and discretion are as needful in such cases as courage and action. Such cases in a community should not be handed over to the guidance of boys or of the hot-headed. As soon as a racial difference appears let the cool, con seryative men of the afflicted locality be summoned, and the control of the entire matter placed in their hands. The machinery of the law is in the hands of the whites, and 1t should be appealed to much oftener than it is. An appeal to the law is much better in every case than an appeal to pis- tols in the hands of tie impetuous and excitement seeking Punishment of the guilty by the law would be as thorough, and more satisfactory. There were too many pistols at Littleton and too little law-too much haste to bloodshed and too little consideration for law and order Remember the volcano.

DEFINING A nsocloLoelsT.s

From the Boston Herald.
 Probably most intelligent people thought they had a far conception of what the term "sociologist' meant, as illustrated in individuals. before Presi- dent Roosevelt was called on officially to act upon the subject. It was some thing that had not before. perhaps, been precisely formulated in their minds in words. The President agrees nnquestion- ably with the general impression on the subject when he says that a sociologist is "a man who has thought and studied deeply on social questions;" but he goes further when he adds. "and has prac- tically applied his knowledge" The popu- lar conception of a sociologist Is of man who has studied the subject, rather than acted upon his meditations in prac- tical life. Yet the President finds a sociol- ogist in a railroad conductor and a lead CT in labor organization. Here Is not where most people would have looked for this kind of scientist, but 1t is en- tirely possible that scholar and man of affairs may be thus combined in one parsonage. and it is peculiarly fortunate if they are in the instance of the ap- pointee selected to arbitrate in the coal strike

Beware of Apathy.

Confidence in one's cause or convic- tions is good thing, but when con- fidence leads to neglect of duty then it becomes dangerous and desirable. The lily whites are not very formid- able in their distracted condition, but still they are rallying point for all discontented voters, and the discon- tented always go to the polls. Unless then the prevailing apathy can be broken there Is danger that the oppo- sition may win some victories. Even the forlorn lily whites may possibly elect candidate.
 It is the duty of every democrat to wake up to his duty in the few remain ing days of the campaign. Every dem- ocrat is morally pledged to stand by the nominees of the primaries. This was the agreement that each voter in the primary made, and that agreement should be kept. A lily white victory in one congressional district or even in a single county would be made much of, and far and near it would be heralded that Dingleyism is con quering Alabama. Let then every dem ocrat give due and proper attention to the coming election. It is certainly one of the most important ever held in the state, because upon it depends the full execution of the new constitu- ton.
 Let us then talk up the democratic nominees, and drive out of the cam paign the apathy that has thus far characterized 1t. Let no man shirk his duty, for if all did likewise the lily whites would carry the state As it is there is danger they will carry some counties, and even a congress- ional district or two. The Age-Herald appeals to every democrat to wake up ito shake off over-confidence, and to roll up on this day fortnight an old fashioned Alabama majority.

 "No," said the lion trainer to Patsy Flannigan, ''you can't have a job to look after the animals; but our pet lion died last week, an we've kept the skin, so I'll give you two pounds a week to dress up as the Hon."
 1.-TWO poundsr' echoed Flannigan. Good gracious, is there so much gold in the world? Right, sorr!''
 So Patsy dressed up as the lion and lay down in the cage. The menagerie doors were opened and the performance commenced.

 Man, are ye mad?" said Patsy. Think of me wife and childrenl"

 Patsy thought he might as well die one way as another, so he crawled into the tigers cage, and when he saw the anil malls big. ferocious eyes fixed on him he uttered a doleful wall and commenced praying in Irish. The tiger walked over to him.
 "Whats the matter wid yer" said he. Sure, man, ye needn't be afraid. I'm Oirish meselfl"

INpIA,s COTTON CROP.

Washington.-Th agricultural depart ment has received a statement issued by the government of India on the 19O2-1903 cotton crop of that country. The report, which was sent here by mall, says there is no reason for anticipating anything less than a satisfactory yield generally, on an area at least equal to the average. In the Punjab the total area fn cotton at the end of July was estimated at 965 300 acres. against 1021 loo acres finally deter mined last year. and the condition of the crop is reported satisfactory. In the northwest frontier province the area sown Is estimated at 1925 acres, a de- crease in Peshawar and Kohat as com pared with last year. The crop prospects there are fairly good. The area sown in the united provinces of Agra and Oudh is 15 per cent in excess of the average and the prospects are variable. In the central provinces the area sown Is larger than last year and very much above the average. The crop prospects are good. In Berear the crop is thriving and the area sown estimated at 1.634,O00 acres, less than last year but little in excess of the average. In Bombay, In the districts where the early crop is grown, there is no anxiety over the crops and the area sown is about 90O.Oo0 acres, or per cent less than last years area but in excess of the average. The crop Is in fair condition in Madras, with a normal area of 51,900 acres and a favorable crop is reported from Burmah. with an area sown of 13S,- 900 acres, against 1S1, 600 last year.

CHRISTMAS TOYS.
They Are Already on the Market for
 the Holiday.

From the New York Times
 Christmas toys are already on the mar ket All summer long the creators of chill dren's novelties have been at work and
 the retailer Is laying in his stock.
 The keynote this year Is to be sensible
 ness in the matter of toy selection. Santa
 Claus has been at work on a variety of things intended to promote the health of
 the child as well as to amuse him. Hence
 athletic games are in the majority. You will be able to buy a complete gymnasium on a small scale for the use of the child this year. including every
 thing that goes to make up the parapher-
 nalia of muscle development. There are
 patent reversible wall sets. the weights of
 which are dumbbells and may be detached
 and used separately.
 There are punching bags that may be used either on a bracket or on floor and-ceiling rope. There are parallel bars
 that may be converted into vaultins horses. There is even a punching bag
 and football combination.
 There are geographical puzzles which take in our new over-the-sea possesslons' teaching the names of cities and towns therein. There are maps which, when
 placed together form themselves Into miniatures of Manila Porto Rico and Cuba. But they are not affairs which | are easily pieced together, so that the child will need to have at least smath- ering of the topography of these coun- tries before he will be able to construct the maps thereof.
 | Most of the leading novelties this year
 are intended to furnish amusement for the elders as well as the youngsters. So,
 while a child will undoubtedly be fasci- mated with some of the games planned
 on the order of billiards and pool, so also will be the older members of the family
 for some skill is required to manipulate | many of the games
 | One of these games has even attained to l the dignity of combination balls and

chalked cues for shooting them into the pockets at the corners of the table. The game Is different from that which IS played in public halls, however. The balls are placed differently on the table and the counting is not the same.
 Games generally are in demand, and judging by the fact that one firm alone has placed orders for 100000 sets of ping pong, or table tennis, that game is to be the popular indoor innovation this will ter. Another dealer whose orders are nearly as large as those of the dealer just mentioned says that there has been no falling off in the popularity of tho game and that it will be in even greater vogue this winter than it was last year.
 The classic building block is to be sold in even greater variety than ever before, and there are specimens of stone, ce- ment wood and other construction. Kites are also to be awarded the good little boy not the old-fashioned affairs that have to be adjusted with long tails, but great box kites like those used by the United States weather bureau, to which the youngsters may attach Leyden Jars and do some experimenting on their own ac- counts. Malay kites are also on sale. some of them seven feet high but so easi. ly handled that a boy under 10 may fly them from the housetop without danger of being pulled frcm his perch.

HOW THE TARIFF BENEFITS
 STANDARD OIL COMPANY

Washington, October 2o.-(Spccial. )- The Standard oil company is not with out protection either in former tariff bills or in the Dingley bill. This trust manufactures several hundred products, all of which, except refined petroleum, parrafin and possibly a few others, are now and have been for years protected by tariff duties of from 20 per cent to 40 per cent or more. In addition the Stan dard oil company is by Tar the greatest beneficiary of our drawback tariff law, because it is big enough and can afford to obtain drawbacks which it will not pay small manufactures to obtain.
 Although the products of the Standard oil company had been dutiable as manu- factured articles, yet petroleum appears to have been unmentioned in tariff acts
 Intil the Dingley act was enacted In the original Dingley bill both crude and re- fined petroleum were placed upon the free list, but with the following proviso: Provided that if there be imported into the United States crude petroleum or any of its products produced in any country which imposes a duty on petro- leum or its products exported from the United States, there shall be levied, paid and collected upon said crude petroleum or Its products so imported 40 per cent ad yalorem." This practically made all the Standard Oil products dutiable at 40 per cent, for all countries which export these rroducts Impose an import duty up- on chem. The duty of 40 per cent, how ever, did not seem enough to the sena- torial friends of the trust. and the duty was accordingly changed to a duty "equal to the duty imposed by such foreign country" Since 1896 Russia has produced more petroleum than this coun- try, and both together produce about 94 per cent of the total production As Russian producers are the chief competi- tors of the Standard oil company it is the Russian duty on petroleum and it's products which measures the tariff pro- tection of the Standard oil company. The Russian duty on kerosene, naptha, lubri- eating oils, gasoline, benzine and all oth- CT liquid products obtained from the dis tillation of petroleum, is per pood one ruble, 1.4S cents per pound. The ruble Is equal to about 515 cents in United States money, while the Russian pood represents 36 pounds. That is, the Rus sian duty or in other words the duty placed by the Dingley tariff law is Il or l2 cents per gallon on the important pro- ducts of petroleum.
 The average annual export price of petroleum is about 6.5 cents per gallon.

HE OILY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Our Exnnrf Trade.

Last years corn crop was very short, and this deficiency has ever since been reflected in our export trade. Not only have the shipments of corn been less, but also the ship ments of meat. In the nine months of the calendar year that have elapsed the country's exports aggregate $937.- 451,0S4, as against s1 1,046, ,119,267 in the corresponding months of 1901. This loss represents last years deficiencies. The crop conditions of 1901 are nearly ended, and the exports of August and September go to show that exports will soon assume former proportions.
 The exports of September foot up $115,521, ,9S4, a sum never exceeded in a previous September excepting only the September of the year 1900. The exports of September, 1901, were $106,- 9S9, 1926, and those of September, 1900, were s115,sO1,722. The exports of last month were therefore within about s500,OOO of the largest aggregate in the history of the country in the month of September. August also showed d handsome increase, and no doubt Octo- Der, November and December will bring out figures that will carry the years total closely up to that of the previous year. The heavy movement in cotton is helping out the export figures of the current months. The cotton exports for September were 347.0O0,000 pounds, valued at $9O,O00,- 900 in round terms, against 100000, ,000 pounds valued at s16,OO0,0o0 in Sep tember of last year, andtless than 200,- 100000 pounds, valued at $20,000,000, in September of the preceding year, 1900.

Comparing Streets.

Several gentlemen were discussing af- fairs in general yesterday, when the sub- ject of the condition of the thorough fares in different cities came up," said a lawyer "One of the party remarked that Birmingham had as well condition ed streets, especially In the business sec tions, as any he had seen. He made a comparison of the streets of this city with those of Louisville, where he had recently spent several days. If the peo- pie of this city had the streets that Louisville has they would hold mass meeting of indignation because of their pocr paving and dirty condition.
 Another man. who happened to be connected with our city government said that when the work of paving all the side walks was completed Birmingham would be second to no city In the country so far as streets are concerned"

Outbreak at Littleton.

At a coal-mining station on the Southern railroad in this county, a racial outburst of passion occurred on Sunday, started by shove given by a negro woman to a white man on a trestle, and the incident served to stir up a race trouble that at one time promised to be sweeping, and that at the best kept tn community in a dis turbed condition, resulting in a resort to firearms, and to serious wounds. and probably to some loss of life.
 This case but serves to show anew the nature of the volcano over which we are all sleeping. It may break out Ut any time, at the most unexpected
