a sYMPOSIIJM ON Liars

The following symposium on Liars
is worth reading, even II It fails TO DO
the subject complete justice:
The liar whom the editor hates
worst Of all is II. man Wlin. when
dunned for a yea 3 subscription, says
he only received Two or three copies
during the year, and refuses u pay

Next to, if not 4 bove thiE une, the
editor hates liar who takcG the pa,
per seven or eight years, and when
finally cornered for settlement, says
he never ordered the paper at all
Pike County Post.
But the worst liar Of tho whole out
fit is the man who takes the paper sew
eral years, then moves away without
paying or saying anything about it,
and yet says he is an honest mar.

Brethren, you all fall short OF the
truth. The biggest liar in the lot Is
the editor who publishes the obituary
of these aforesaid liars and fntimates
that they have gone to heaven.

pany is recognized as a topnotcher,
and as standing almost alone in it's
own field. It is a replica, a duplicate,
practically an exact counterpart, of
the matchless Weber & Field shows,
which have made the little theater on
Broadway famed around the world.
The. burlesques which will be staged,
"Whirl-EGig," 'Fiddle-de-dee," and
the rest--are the original Weber &
Fields manuscripts; the: costumes will
be the superb dresses and spangles Of
the Weberfeldian productions, and the
personnel OF the company will be good
enough to do credit to even the original
New York theater. Sol and Nat
Fields, brothers Of the New York man
ager, will be among, the leading stars;
Allen Curtis, a jester who has been as
seciated with the Fields boys in all
their successes, will also be to the.
fore in all the revelry; Harry Rich
ards, the tall comedian, will have con-
spicuous roles; Allene Colin, Josephine
Newman, the Harvey sisters, the Els
meralda sisters, Annie Payser--in a
word, all of the stars who made the
show on the Washington street "the
real thing" a few short months ago
will be on deck and cleverer than
ever. The great travesty on the Floro-.
dora sextette will be put on; there will
be a, superb line of all-star specialties,
and the women of the company will be
the handsomest who could sbe engaged
in either New York or Chicago. In!
short, the summers attraction will be
the warmest Of shows in the coolest of
theaters-a com bination that cannot,
be equaled anywhere else in Chicago,
while ease, comfort, attention to pa
tronss and every other accessory to. a
successful enterta inmeht} IS will be
blended for the beneft$of the patrons.

HAYTI MAY ENTER FOLD.
Talk Of Annexing the Island is
Again Revived,

From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
There has been a revival of the ques-
ton of annexing Hayti and Santo Donin-
go to the United States because of the
recent political disturbances there, the
revolutionary outbreak in Hayti and the
menace of these so-called republics to
this country. This question has been
given more or less consideration for the
last generation. While officials of the
government have commented on the bear
ing to annexation of the existing condi-
tions in the negro republic, there is no
official movement looking to that end.
What the future will bring forth is re-
garded as conjecture, but there is an
undercurrent of belief that long continued
perturbation among the people of Hayti,
whose geographical limits include Santo
Domingo. will awaken interest in Its
value to this country from commercial
and military standpoints, as we'll as those
of preservation and public health. the
danger of continual disorders and the in
terests of America generally.
To some extent the possession of Porto
Rico. the right to acquire coaling stations
in Cuba, and the desire of the Danish
Government to sell its Antillian posses
sions to the United States, have tended to
lessen the Importance of securing Hayti
for military strategic reasons. But the
generally accepted theory of strategists.

the sole value of possessing the valuable

by many as sufficient ground for giving
serious consideration to the matter OF
annexation.
Even the Cleveland administr alton, con-

quiring foreign territory. was anxious to
secure SANTANA bay for naval purposes,
and made some effort in that direction.
The importance Of the Island of Hayu

In addition to SANTANA bay 1t contains

abortive attempt to annex Santo Domingo
by treaty was made in Grants time, the
Importance Of the island to this govern
ment was recognized by military men
and the knowledge of its value for use as
a naval station has grown since then. Nc
Kinley was the first president after Grant
under whose administration the annexa-
ton of Hayu was regarded as likely to
be accomplished. but the question pre-
scented by the acquisition of the Philip
pines, Porto Rico Guam. part of Samoa
and the Hawaiian islands, and the Danish
West Indies negotiations kept the admin
istration and Congress too busy to per-
NIT attention to be given to the Haytian-
Santo DOMINICAN matter
There Is a strong feeling in Santo Do
mingo and Hayti against granting con-
cessions to foreigners, but 1t Is believed
here that diplomatic advances to the gov
ernments of the two countries looking to
attaching them politically to the United
States would not be summarily rejected
For the present. however, there Is no In
tention of making any overtures of this
character, but officials here are watching
the trend of events in the ISLANDS with
view to preparing to furnish information
which may be demanded as the result
of annexation sentiment growing out OF
the belief that the people of Haytl ana
Santo Domingo are not capable OF SELL
government and conduct their govern
mental affairs in such way as to make
the republic a menace to the United
States and the welfare of American citl>
zens having interests in the islands.

DANGER AHEAD.

We don't like to do 1t, but We must
confess that we are getting just a wee bit
worried about politics, especially the
campaign now on us. 1t is not because
Johnston Is going to carry the State by
about two hundred and 'steen thousand
| majority, though that is distressing. Ala
bama is a great State and has wonderful
recuperative powers 1t recovered from
the Civil War and from reconstruction,
of Johnston.
What we are worried about. and what
we are afraid of is that Johnston. not
satisfied with all of Alabama. Is prepar-
ing to reach out his tentacles and swipe
several of the adjoining commemorative.
There is the danger confronting our peo-
pie, and that is what is discomboberat-
ing US, so to speak. Florida is already
jealous of us. She thinks we are look
ing with covetous eyes on her orange
groves and pineapple orchards, and that
we want to rob her of Pensacola-and
The Journal-and annex all of them to
Alabama Those Florida people are
touchy and if Johnston should get the
votes and representatives from all West
Florida we might find another Seminole
war on us.
Then there is our big sister-or mother
in-law-on the East. who would spank US
good If occasion rises Three-quarters
of century ago, in the days of Troup IL
we mistake not Georgia got on her ear
and said things about US on account of
matters. She is always looking doubtful
at us as IL she believed we were trying
to outshine her-whch we will do, by the
way, but don't want anything said about
It, If Johnston should carry all the
western marshes of Georgia. from Dade
to Decatur, We should expect war to be
declared at once. AS for Tennessee and
Mississippi it wouldn't be so bad. They
would like an excuse to get into Ala
bama and might even put up with john
ston If thereby they might become part of
the grandest Commonwealth in the South
Looking at the matter dispassionately
we can almost smell trouble, and we beg
the Johnston men to be cautious. If
they intend to carry all the adjoining
States they ought to be mere1quiet about
it till the job is done. 1l1heh it can't be
helped, but the evident determination to
clean UP the earth may breed trouble.
After all, what right has Johnston and
his forces to be claiming Tennessee, Geor-
sia and all the adjacent States? Ala
bama will settle this matter. and what
it will do for Joseph will be a plenty.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

Hon. F.. M Robinson is reported in yes
terday's Advertiser as having said in his
speech at Evergreen Wednesday that
jerks and Cunningham were responsible
for killing the primary law in 1885, This
statement has been made several times
according to reports of speeches by John
ston speakers. The facts are that the
primary law is now upon the statute
book and the primary election to be held
by the Democratic Party the 18th instant
will be conducted under its provisions.
1t was approved Februry IS. 1899. 1t was
a House bill 1t passed the Senate Feb
ruary g. 1899. by vote of eighteen yeas
and two nays. both Governor Jelks and
DR.. Cunningham voting for its passage.
The two negative votes were cast by
Senators Pulley and Hurst. They are
active supporters of Johnston and were
members of the closed door convention
in Birmingham which prevailed" on him
to become a candidate.
