 know how sensitive our Southern friends are on this matter of social equali- ty and companionship. and l think l might say fairly and properly-and that perhaps have right to say it-that it is not wise for the people of the North to undertake 10 deal rashly CT even to judge hastily of a feeling so deeply i'm planted in their hosoms

And if in the nature of things and in the nature of man time does not reconcile them. it will be sign that they ought not to be re conciled to 1t; and that some other mode of life for them must be devised.
 Now, my friends, having said what thought to say on this question, perhaps may be indulged in adding that although my life politically and person. ally has been a life of almost constant strife with the leaders of the Southern people, yet as l grow older l have learned not only to respect and esteem. but to love the great virtues which make up the strength as they make the glories of the free States. Their love of home; their chivalrous respect for women their cour- age; their delicate sense of honor; their constancy, which can abide by an opiH- lon or purpose or an interest for thelr State through diversity and through prosperity, through the years and through the generations, are things by which the people of the more mercurial North may take a lesson.

SCAFFS AT MONROEISM
PROFESSOR WAGNER FAILS TO
 SEE ITS JUSTNEsS.
Says Behind It is Neither Energetic Will Nor Actual Power-The Duty of Europe in the
 Premises.

Berlin. March 2-'"The Monroe doc Urine is an empty pretension behind which is neither energetic will nor actual DOW er." Thus Professor Adolph Wagner, the celebrated political economist of Berlin, begins his reply to two questions submit ted by correspondent-whethe the Mon- rec doctrine was, in a moral sense, as binding as international law, and what action seems dictated first in the interest of the German people, and then in the in- ferest of the European nations.
 Scarcely could such a doctrine be forced upon conquered people after ex- traordinary victories" continues the pro- lessor.
 No people and no great ruler ever pro- claimed such doctrine Neither Eng land nor Russia, nor Napoleon at the pretension. But not even the United States predominating interests are behind this unheard of presumption. South America is neither geographically nor his- torically so allied with North America and the United States as to justify such a pretension, even from a North Ameri- can standpoint"
 In answering the second question, Pro- fessor Wagner says:
 Tt is only the divisions of European politics and lack of insight into and rec- ognition of the solidarity of the interests of Middle. Western and Southern Europe which hitherto has been and will remain the chief seats of human civilization. that explains why Europe, why Germany even takes this empty pretension into consider atfon for every European country's prac- 4iCal, political course will naturally de- pend solely upon its interests and &C., cordingly upon considerations of strength. Therefore. any binding engagement in ad- vance regarding this pretentious doctrine of union appears to be a wrong policy.
 From the standpoint, too, of the wider Germanic races simple recognition of fhe Monroe doctrine would be a false step even 1T It were settling the world-ques- tion whether the Germanic or Romanic elements should dominate the world If we once concede the United States pre- dominance in South America, according

GRAND LODGE PROCEEDINGS.
An Interesting Volume for Masons
 of Alabama.

o4 x4A6puAAU~
 Secretary George H. Beauchamp has gotten out the proceedings of the last an nual communication of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Alabama printed in Mont gomery.
 The frontispiece of the book is the new Masonic Temple and the other illustration is picture of Past Grand Master Rus sell M. Cunningham, who was the Most Worshipful Grand Master for the years 1900 to 1902.
 The volume contains the full proceed ings of the Grand Lodge with all the correspondence and Masonic decisions and is very valuable as a book of refer ence for all who may desire Masonic in- formation.
 There are a number of pages draped in mourning with the names of the fraternal dead during the year.
 The report shows that there were fif- teen lodges delinquent for not making returns and non-paymehnt of dues; two for not making returns; eleven for non- payment of dues; seven charters forfeit ed; three lodges refnstated: eight charters issued and one charter granted, but not issued: two charters restored: ten dis pensations continued; thirteen lodges working under dispensation; there were 305 lodges represented, with a member ship of 13, 494; amount of dues collected $6.0e9. co; number lodges making returns, 3T number paying dues 351; number of chartered lodges on roll 387; number of ministers 902.
 The work for the year shows that in- terest in the order continues. There were 1,195 initations; 1,12S passed; 1.106 raised ;554 affiliated; 320 re-instated; 6s6 demitted; 2s2 died 422 suspended for non-payment of dues.
 On the amendment proposed to section H Article VI of the Constitution there were 196 with membership of 6,162 vot- ing no; IA lodges with a membership of 6,321 voting yes; and 45 lodges with a membership of 1,0A which made no re- port.
 The work of getting out the report of the proceedings has been speedily and thoroughly done, and speaks well for the efficiency and industry of the Grand Sec retary.

Small Vote Cast.

As predicted. there was very small vote cast in yesterdays municipal cleo ton, though no surprise was expressed by the nominees at the apathy shown by voters. This was doubtless because of the fact that there was no opposition to the regular Democratic nominee.
 Mayor Walsh informed The Advertisers representative that he had issued a call for special meeting of the General Council for Thursday, at noon, to count and certify the returns. This will be the lest meeting, but one. of the present Gen eral Council, as that body will retire Mon- day. March 16 at noon, after the elect will have been sworn in. Of the General CouEcil there will be in the new body the following Aldermen: P. J. Lyons, who, 1t Is conceded, will be chairman and Mayor pro tenn, and Cary W. Butt, at present Councilman from the First Ward; and Councilmen F. K. Hale A. s. Lyons 6ormerly Alderman at large), Daniel P. Brown and Dr. J. G. Thomas.

 We colored citizens of this community are in lawsuit about working the county roads, and, as we are disfranchised please let us know if you will fight the case for us on Saturday, March 7th, at Malcolm.

to the Monroe pretensions, would German interests be promoted thereby? Would not we Germans be completely pressed to the wall by the English element on both sides of the sea? We really have no interest in furthering the preponderance of the United States or England or both The worlds civilization would hardly be advanced thereby. Aside from some tech nical and business spheres, what have the United States done of importance for the real civilization of the world? What have they done that has deserved to be named in the same breath with the achievements Of Italy and France? Middle, Western and Southern Euro peans, hold yourselves together against the East as we'll as the far West. That seems to me to be the only right answer to the Monroe pretensions.
 Professor Eduard von Hartmann. the philosopher, declined to discuss the ques- ton, because, he said. 1t was "inexpedi. ent, since the Americans make capital out or both affirmative and negative an swers."
 He added: "An endorsement of the Monroe doctrine, however. hedged with qualifications, would be accepted as a recognition of their program, while the merest theoretical criticism would be in- terpreted as expr sssing Germany's plans Tor conquest and the American people would be called on to resist the same"
 Baron von Zedlitz und Neukirch, a mem- Der of the Prusslan Diet and editor of The Berlin Post, wrote:
 The Monroe doctrine is from the stand point Of international law, a non-binding monologue whose enforcement is purely question of force. Germanys interests, however, are so little touched by the doc Urine. at least as interoreted in the Vene zuelan incident, that we have no practi- cal need for opening the question"
 Professor Hans von Delbrueck of Berlin University. discussing Venezuela fin The Preussische Jahrbuecher. alludes to the 'perfidious nature" of the American nol- icy and advocates an alliance between Great Britain and Germany.

 In some parts of Germany the girls have a pretty custom in which the queen of flowers plays a part. If a girl has sev- eral suitors and wishes to know which of them would be true to her. she takes rose petals and drops them into a bowl of water, giving each the name of one of her admirers. The leaf that remains floating longest represents the man whose faithfulness she may rely on and whom she would therefore do well to choose.
