BAD WHITE BOYS.
They Are Very Troublesome in One
 Locality.

They Are Very Troublesome in One
 Locality.
 To the Editor The Advertisers:
 It seems that we have in the city of Montgomery an insufficient, or utterly in- efficient police. 1 own four houses on the corner of Hull and Randolph Streets a double house facing on Hull, and new one facing on Randolph and one on the corner. A gang of boys some fourteen or fifteen, and down to six or seven years old frequently congregate about that cor ner. throw rocks and pebbles promiscous- ly, break window panes and annoy ten ants. They will get up on the brick yard fence and walk it, ride the gates until they break them down and climb the trees in the yard, and curse any one who orders them away. Night before last MT. Me Cosker, the plumber who Is placing the plumbing in the new house, left a lamp burning on the sidewalk to warn pedes- trians against danger. About o'clock in the evening there assembled about ten of those boys and one took up the lamp. swung it around several times, then sat 1t down, and the crowd made 1t target and threw pebbles at 1t until they broke it. Had pedestrian come along and tor the lack of a light fellen into the ditch and sustained an injury, there would have been a damage suit against the city. and not against the plumber, as he had the permit of the city to do that work. This same gang of boys, or some of them, nave tWlce tampereQ Wlln the mall DOX, right at the corner of the streets, by breaking or battering the lock so that the postman could not get the mail out of 1t. A new lock had to be put on it this morning, and the postmaster will, if it be tempered with again, move the box else- where, greatly to the inconvenience of the good people in that neighborhood. If those boys are not made to behave them selves and stop their malicious mischief some of them will make the acquaintance of the jail or the penitentiary before they are of age.
 No policemen are ever stationed in that neighborhood, and the mounted patrolmen sometimes pass, but it is rare that they see anything, and never the boys. Gen orally when a policeman is needed, he is never at or about the place where he is wanted. Complaints have been made heretofore as to the trespassing of bad boys in this locality, but never did any good. They are white boys-not a negro among them. Their parents are blamable for not exercising better control over them. The only protection a property owner has in that neighborhood is an in efficient police There Is, therefore, but little encouragement to any one to buy or own property in Montgomery, if a similar state of things exists in other localities.

How They Lived.

Raleigh, N. c. Post.
 The esteemed Montgomery, Alabama Advertiser in view of the deveiopment of thH microbe of late. wants to know how our ancestors lived. Just as the old man did whose smart son. just home from col leSe' advised against eating cheese. as it was full of little animalculae" and pointing to the piece in his fathers hand, said. look at the little things suuirm i" After eyeing the piece for a while the sensible old sentleman-they were all sen sible in those days-dropped it into his mouth with the remark, Let 'em sduirm , if they can stand it I can" And these folk lived to be ripe in years. and never thought of expecting more profit from the hide and tallow Things. incIuding microbes, seem to be different now.

 In other words our contemporary would say to Alabama: You can't have any of our territory. but if you do get it. you must pay good price for 1t. We don't know how much Alabama will be willing to put up for the country. even if we propose to buy 1t. We rather incline to the opinion that it will eventually fall into Aiabama's mouth, like a ripe peach, to the benefit of both sections.

To Discuss Lynching.

 At Chautauqua they're going to discuss lynchings. There will be a continuous flow of words from people who have ac- cumulated vast chunks of Ignorance on the subject, and the movement will have about as much effect as a lengthy argu- ment on the best food products for the inhabitants of Mars.

In strenuous effort to be witty, The Mobile Item says:
 The Montgomery Advertiser has gone into the study of its ancestors, but be- fore entering upon the enterprise, asks did our ancestors live?' Now that's too bad. The Advertiser certainly does not entertain the suspicion that it belongs tS that class of the animal Kingdom with out either pride of ancestry or hope of posterity.
 Our question was. How did our ances- tors live?" However, we beg to inform The Item that we have more ancestors than it ever heard of We trace them back to Noah and are proud of some of them. They were bully people, were our ancestors, and when you come to speak of posterity, you should only see 'em. They numerous and creditable, and we're proud of them, too.

The Portsmouth Star and the Norfolk Landmark have been palavering about 'elbow socks" The Star insisted on A description of them and The Landmark takes all the vim out of the subject by explaining that they are merely a style of glove worn by the ladies. Why call them socks? The Star puts its foot in the muddle by saying that 1t thought socks were always worn where Eve wore them. It might have known that The Landmark would call it down on that proposition and quote Genesis on it. Then the latter paper remarks:
 If The Charlotte Observer, The Mont gomery Advertiser and The Spartanburx they must hurry.
 We don't see how there can be any dis cussion' after your explanation, but why didn't you call them gloves in the first place?

HE IS UNEASY.

It is not by any means a matter of sur prise to learn that Roosevelt Is uneasy about the vote of New York in next years election. It Is one of the most 'un- certain States in the Union, as well as hay ing the largest electoral vote A State which gave Cleveland for Governor a pIu- rality of 192,OOO in 1882, and which went for him in 1892 by plurality of 5,OOO then gave Mckinley a plurality of 26S, 900 in 1896 and 143,00O in 19OO Is an exceedingly uncertain quantity in the politics of the Union, and may we'll cause anxiety.
 It is not merely that New York has the largest electoral vote. but that it is his home State that causes Roosevelt anxiety. He might be elected without the vote of New York, 1t is true, but If 1t should become apparent during the cam paign that his own State is going against him, it could not fail to have a depress- ing effect on his supporters elsewhere and might lose him other doubtful States
 There is doubtful obligation resting on our Party in connection with the vote of New York next year. It is hardly to he expected that Democrats can elect a President without the 3S electoral votes of the Empire State, and for that reason. a3 we'll as to defeat Roosevelt at home the Party must nominate a ticket which will carry New York. There have been various indications lately to show that the Republicans are anxious, and well they may be, if Democrats are not again stricken with political lunacy. We not only want the vote of New York, but must have 1t. We do not think its cap- ture either difficult or uncertain with a ticket of the right kind.
