, nal resolution; yet the practice has con- tinled until 1t has become nothing less than a public scandal. In this last or
 Canadian excursion, pagsss. were issued
 not only to persons not inA1 newspaper business, but passes issueo to persons in that business were transferred in large number to outsiders, 40 per cent. of the
 total number of excursionists thus trav- cling under fictitious names. Each excur-
 esi3nist had to pay for his meals and sleeping car accommodation and that was ali-proyided, of course, he paid nothing for the pass transferred to him; so, the whole cost was much less than regular | fare. and this accounts for the ease with np The Advertiser figures that in the sleeping car account alone there was a good profit to the manager of the cxcur-
 Secretary Rountree $29, making a fund of
 So,isl for the. hire of four sleeping cars
 for fourteen days; The Advertiser says; Mir. Rountree has been taken to task
 rather sharply by Capt. J. M. Falkner. District Attorney of the Louisville and | Nashville Railroad, who complains of the
 unauthorized transfer of passes to per press Of Alabama. In future. he says, passes will be issued to bona fide news
 paper men only and to members of their | families. MT. Rountree. in a letter to Captain Falkner, declares that he was not the whole thing" and "could not dictate who should go or put them off the train;" vile and Nashville Railroad Company. and offers to have the owners of the sev- enty-two newspapers whose names were usedR in connection with the excursion. pay to the Louisville and Nashville the cost of the transportation-ano offer which | Captain Falkner has rejected.
 So much for the facts as disclosed by The Advertiser. We are not so much concerned with the predicament in which
 Mir. Rountree finds himself as with the
 reputation of the Press Association, which. while knowing of abuses done in the past and condemning them by reso- lution, made no investigation into the re- sponsibility for them, and continued to confide its affairs to one under whose aus pices the abuses were committed. It was | to be expected that a scandal would de- velop if the practice of misuse of trans portation privileges was continued.

By virtue of the fact that MT. Bryan led the Democratic Party in two notable campaigns. if for no other reason, we would still imagine that he is a man of consequence in the affairs of the coun- try" He at least deserves respect, which is not accorded him by a large number of newspapers of questionable Democracy. Whatever else may be said of MT. Bryan, he Is certainly consistent. a fact which is not discreditable. This cannot be said Of many other prominent Democrats and newspapers.-Nashvil News.
 Possibly The Advertiser ought to feel crushed but 1t doesn't. We really don't think a man is of much consequence to the country merely because he twice led the Democratic Party to defeat The Re- publicans may esteem him for that reason, but Democrats do not. As to his sopsistency-in wrong cause--we beg to refer The News to the remark of Elmer son: "A foolish consistency is the hob goblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." 4 plague on the consistency which per- slsts in being and remaining in the wrong

IT IS A COMPLIMENT.

The Scotchman, Dugald Stewart, has been telling the people of Neodesha, Kan. some of the differences between their town and the old country. and among oth- CTS he cited this:
 In the town where I was raised. which is larger than Neodesha, we had not a newspaper. a church, a minister, a law yer nor doctor! An! we just lived along as happy as you please with nothing to bother us.
 Mark the dry wit when he declared that they lived happy as you please with nothing to bother us." without newspaper. lawyer. doctor or preacher, as much as to say that nobody could be expected to be happy with all those draw backs. And think of a town of over 2,00O inhabitants without one newspaper In this country there would be two or three. and they would each be claiming the lars- est circulation of any paper in the coun- try.
 But isn't his statement really a compli- ment to the profession? As there were no preachers to quarrel over modes of faith, no doctors to quarrel over medical ethics and no lawyers to quarrel on gen. eral principles. 1t is natural to suppose that the people were quiet and good and a newspaper was not needed to keep them in the right way. That is complimenting to the newspapers. to say that they are not needed in a community because the people are so good that they need no good counsel.

32 TO 1 IS PROPOSED.
Suggested as Ratio in Silver Using
 Countries.

Washington. Aug. S.-A report has been received at the State Department from the United States Monetary Commission which is Investigating the question of currency for silver using countries. The commission has visited London, Paris. The Hague. and Berlin, and was expect ing to leave for St. Petersburg in a short time. According to the report. the pro- posal of the American commission for A ratio of S2 to 1 for new silver currency for Oriental countries has been generally well received. although the French com mission suggested the ratio of 3l to 1. which is one-half of the French ratio at the present time. The representatives of the Chinese government have manifested a very lively interest in the proceedings of the commission at the different Euro pean capitals that have been visited.

Professor William James, of Harvard
 says lynching can be stopped by hanging a few prominent men who engage in it. Evidently the Professor expects these prominent men to be hanged by mob, for he well knows that 1t is not going to be legally done in any State in the Union.

A singular and unique ceremony was witnessed in Oklahoma City last week when high mass was celebrated by Father Albert, full blood Pottawatomie Indian, who is said to be the only full-blood In- dian ever consecrated in the Catholic church in America, or probably in the world. Many Indians have joined the various churches of the country, and some of them have been preachers and missionaries, but no full-blood has ever before reached the priesthood, we are in- formed.

Selma Times.
 We do not doubt but that every word that Col. Falkner saves is the truth. The fact of the business is, the writer of this quit going to the press asociations nfteen years ago. because a majority of those who attend were not bona fide mem- bers of the profession. Col, Falkner and the l.. G N. have been liberal with the editors on all occasions, and we think it women who are not Identified with the press in any manner whatever. It is an abuse of courtesy that has become out rageous and is getting worse every year.
 If the officers of the Press Association do not shut down an the evil we sincere ly hope Col, Falkner will put in the knife and do the work himself. By so doing he will win the gratitude of the editors of Alabama who would like to have 2 gen. uine association of newspaper men form ed. Instead of going off with a lot of lay men on junketing tour. at the expense of the honor and fair name of the editors of the State.

 should be no splitting of differences about it. Let the party establish itself on conservative. business-like platform and
 there will be no need for controversy of any kind.

Better No Excursion. Birmingham News.
 It would be better that the Alabama Press Association should never have an- other outing than ever again there should be given such opportunity for unfavor- able comment as the recent trip has pro- voked. The association excursions by all means should be restricted to members and ladies of their immediate families. It Is not fair to those who extend cour- tesies to the association that outsiders should be substituted for members.
