 Look here, my dear Jones; don't car " such a large sum. You might be robbed. Take a draft instead. I'll give you a draft for $500; you'll hand this in at my Philadelphia bank, and they | give you there your $s000 in greenbacfs.
 But what will this draft cost me? Jones asked.
 Only per cent. or $SO the banker replied. A..
 Accordingly Jones agreed to take the draft and when he was ready to depart it was given to him along with smal bundle, carefully sealed.

Negro Power In Politics.

Kansas City Journal (Rep.)
 Lewis Johnson. an honest, typical, old style negro, a teamster by trade and q politician of considerable influence in the Third Ward of this city. made speech in the last campaign wherein he stoutly maintained that the constitution does not necessarily follow the flag, and that it would be preposterous for us Americans, as he put it. to grant self-government and full citizenship to the Filipinos. until by proper instruction and training they are prepared for such dangerous responsi- bie privileges. MT. Johnson Is shrewd reasoner. a dyed-in- -the-wool Republican and a stalwart patriot. who has time and again passed some very severe strlctures upon the infldelity that some of his race have recently shown to the party that liberated them and the purely commercial point of view from which they look on the inestinfa ble boon of suffrage. It perhaps did not occur to MT. Johnson tha t this right which he and his congeners ob- ject to having carelessly bestowed upon the Filipinos, Hawaiians and Porto Ricans was given unto themselves with a greater recklessness than was ever sus- gested in the case of the inhabitants of our insular possessions
 The statement that the negroes helped to keep these inhabitants in their present subjection is made advisedly. The Dem J. crats favored self-government with the right to participate to a certain degree in our national affairs; the Republicans opposed this proposition. The negroes voted almost soldly for the Republican candidates The compilation below gives the returns from seven States which cast their electoral votes for Mckinley in 191o, with the Republican majority and the number of negroes of voting age in each, and the electoral vote.

Kings Daughters Not Ambitious

London Modern Society
 King Edwards three daughters seem to be devoid of personal ambition, and to be quite willing that their sister-in-law and their aunts Helena. Louise and Beatrice should represent royalty in their stead So far from profltiHg by the rise in rank which their fathers accession gained them, the Douchess of Fife and her sis ters prefer to stay away from functions where they would precede Queen Vie toria's daughters; so it is not often that these illustrious ladies meet in full State array. One Parliament opening and the coronation have seemed about enough for them. It is scarcely likely that the Duke of Flies daughters will make royal matches, and in all probability they will become British peeresses, and have far more pleasant life than if they turned into German PrinCesses, and had to fol- low foreign spouse to his own country.

Grover Cleveland.

Brooklyn agle.
 Grover Cleveland reached his sixty six birthday today. His health is said to be excellent The interest of his country in him is not only universal, but affectionate, His position in Democracy is paramount. The respect and regard felt for him by his political opponents are unequaled in the case of any living man. He has behind him a record of public approval attested by public suf- frsge which none of his predecessors achived. He is reasonably secure from misinterpretation. He is reasonably cer tain of daily increasing esteem, for as long as he shall live. He can be assured of an unique lank in history. He Is In the way of no man, of no men and of no party. Estimate of him now has quality in 1t for reparation for past injustice and of atonement tor past unlntelligence. So signal and so prevalent is the liking for him that what Is thought of him deter mines, not His status in public opinion, but that of those who think 1t. Men can not increase their repute, by thinking well of him, but thinking and saying i'll of him decreases their repute. the same as defec- ton from any other right standard does. The Eagle congratulates MT. Cleveland upon the excellence of his health upon his sunny outlook on happy years and upon his position in the minds and hearts of the people of his country and of the peoples of the world

A STRANGE LAW.

One of the strange laws of a State which is somewhat noted for freakish- ness Is the law recently enacted by the nate sentences for certain criminals. Except for the crimes of murder and treason, a criminal is not sent to prison for any definite term of years, but it is provided that after he has served one year he may receive a parole. Thus a man who has deliberately committed rape. burglary, highway robbery or any other crime except the two specified, may be virtually set at liberty after the expi- ration of one year, because a parole is equivalent to a full pardon as long as the criminal observes the requirements of the parole. At all events, it Is a re- lease from Imprisonment or other punish ment if he conducts himself properly.
 While murder and treason are crimes which should be severely punished it is certain that there are others little less deserving. A murder may be committed under stress of some great wrong or in- Jury, or may be committed in the heat of passion, but the criminal under this law may suffer life Imprisonment. This may be right but the man who delib- erately plans and commits other crimes, some of them really more horrible than murder. may not be imprisoned more than one year. As The Leavenworth Times says 'the person who will plan for weeks to commit a crime less than murder is more to be feared by society is a greater criminal than the man who kills a fellowman on the spur of the mo- ment while insane with passion, and yet the first man may possibly escape with a few years or months confinement in pris- on while the latter is in for life in this State"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-03-21

Hobson made to him, as the former sec retary of Congressman Bankhead. The Captain denies the truth of Mir. Walk CTS statements and cites the record. He specifically denies the statement that two different medical boards found that his eyes were good enough for the delicate ana difficult work of naval constructor. ana; therefore, he was not physically quauted for retirement. The letter speaks for itself on this point.
 The most important expression Is that repeating the charge against Congress man Bankhead of having used his infiu- ence to prevent the Captains retirement from the navy; and of having used 1t un- scrupulously.
 At the time this charge was first made The Register called attention to the grav- ity of it and to the obligation that seem ed to rest upon the Congressman of meet ing 1t by the direct evidence. probably at his command. We have not seen or heard Of any response to this suggestion. The letter of Mir. Walker cannot be re- garded as a satisfactory substitute We still believe that MT. Bankhead should make an explicit statement of his con- nection with the matter, supported by statements of others who are said to have been influenced by him to oppose Cap tain Hobson's retirement.
 The case Is simply this: Captain Hob son-no matter what one may think of some of his actions subsequent to the Santiago incident-is a young Alabmian "iio idS uCSclNcu well Ol tuc IcpubIC. He is entitled to the sympathies and sup port of his Congressman in every legit- innate enterprise, and especially Is enti- tied to eminently fair treatment. Let us suppose that the Captain is altogether mistaken in alleging that he has not re- ceived such treatment. yet the mere fact that he is what he is gives him the right to know all the facts relating to the case. Moreover. the public-whether par tcuiarly devoted to Captain Hobson or not-is great lover of fair play and wants to be sure that the young Ala bamian has no real ground of complaint against the Congressman
 The Register has always been the firm friend and admirer of MT. Bankhead. and has had occasion to acknowledge the very great service he has performed for the benefit of this port as well as his ser vices to the country, and 1t feels a deep interest in his personal and political wei fare. All the more Is this paper anxious to have him do what appears to be the right thing-to meet the charges of Cap tain Hobson. A response is due quite as much for his own sake as it is for that of Captain Hobson
