CAMDEN'S LOSS.
Two Prominent and Wel Beloved
 Citizens Pass AWAY.


 The Advertiser announced on Sunday the 18th, the death last Saturday of Gen eral Richard c. Jones, and on Wednes- day announced that his elder brother, Dr. J. Paul Jones breathed his last on the 18th It Is rarely the case that the hand of death falls upon two members of a family in so short a time. They were both born in Virginia, but came to Ala bama in early youth with their father, who settled in Wilcox county. When the war of '61 came on they both promptly entered the Confederate army and serv- ed from the beginning to the end. pr. Jones was a surgeon, but did not hesi- tate to go on the firing line and was once complimented by his commanding gen. eral for distinguished services, Genera; Jones was a gallant soldier and did faith full service. Dr. Jones never held pub lie office, but was well qualified to fill any position in public life. General Jones served his people faithfully in the State Legislature and was for several years presidant of the State University. His last public service was as a member of the convention which gave the State its present constitution. He was one of its most useful and influential members
 There are many people in Montgomery who knew and admired these splendid gentlemen and sympathize with their families and their neighbors in the great loss they have sustained.

HE WILL HARDLY DARE.

The impression given out from some source a few days ago that the President might reinstate Miss Todd fails to take into consideration two or three important facts. One is that it would be an admis- sion that he was In the wrong and Roose- welt is not one of the admitting kind when 1t comes to saying to the world that he has done a wrongful act. No doubt he now feels that his course in allowing the lady to be re- moved, for the reasons given out, was ill., advised and unjust but he Is not likely to say so.
 Another reason is that the Postmaster General Is a strong man in the Republi- can party and he is not a man to be snub- bed. Still another and more potent req son Is that the reinstatement of Miss of Alice and Addicks, rulers of the Department of Delaware, and that is not to be thought of. They are important factors in Republican politics and offence to them would be, in the language of Fouche More than crime; it is a polit- lcal laut, ana hooSeVelt KNOWS II.

The sleepless Cossack in the rear, before
 the wintry flood.

The finger of events pointed towards St. Helena. The curtain was going down on magnificent tragedy in which na- tions had been the dramatis personae.
 Just thrty-five years after the first of NapoleOns men entered the former cap ital of Russia, another conqueror en- tered a capital of the Western world, His army was a mere corporars guard con- pared to that of the great Corscan, but he. too, had suffered heavily from the resistance of the beaten enemy. Though also soldier of renown his fame cannot be compared to that of the Little Cor poral, but he was man of vastly more imposing presence. Never, perhaps. since the days of Pyrrhus has there been d great commander to compare in size and port with the magnificent figure of Win field Scott, who on the l4th of Septem- Der lS47, made entry into the City of Mexico. The writer saw him in his old age seated on porch at West Point

Before him had come the news of his train of victories. Vera Cruz. Cerro Gordo, Molino del Key. Chapuite- pee with these names still ringing in

Colonel Hay's Good Memory.

It is said of James G. Blaine that to meet a man once was to fix him in mind forever. Col. John Hay. Secretary of State has the same mental gift. A news paper man was reminded pleasantly of that fact. Years ago, when he was young he wrote a book and Colonel Hay, who lived in Cleveland. and had abundant leisure. kindly read 1t in manuscript form. It found publisher and Was sent into wrote it met Colonel Hay at a reception recently. He went up to the Secretary and said Colonel, you don't remember me. am" Have you written any more books as good as that one on-?' asked Colonel Hal in a flash. The news paper man was happy. He knew that Colonel Hay had not thought of the book in twenty years, but it made him glad to be remembered

The pardon, in a sense. is a high appeal to the moral forces of the State to put down such wrongs if attempted in the future. and evinces a belief that reliance on these moral forces will not be in vain The pardon was recommended by Judge Jones.

A HOPEFUL VIEW.
Ex-Governor Northen Says Races Not Been so Harmonious ILL Years.

Atlanta, (Ga.) Special to The New 1ork
 Times.
 Ex-Governor William J. Northen, in discussing the race question today, paid the negro a high tribute, denounced mob law and declared the deportation of the negro impossible. He said in part:
 T have lived among negroes all my life and I don't want to live where there are none. l will trust them in every relation far more confidently than l would the mongrel population of self-announced So- cialists Anarchists and outlaws. who do the menial service of other sections. We do not want to deport the negroes, and We could not if we so desired. "The better classes of negroes have shown themselves quite as much in favor of the death penalty for the outlaws of their race who commit assaults as are the white people themselves. There is no longer that disposition to conceal and protect these criminals against full and | proper punishment, when this punishment | is administered uniformly by due process of law and not by the barbarous burn | ings of the mob.
 For all these years I have had occa- | sion to watch closely the relations be- | tween the races in this State, and I say

 more in harmony than we are today"

In China. about twelve miles from the village of Lion Chek, there is, according to d writer in the Liverpoo Post, noun tain of alum. which, in addition to being a natural curiosity is a source of wealth for the inhabitants of the country, who dig from it yearly tons of alum. The mountain is not less than ten miles in height of nearly 1000 feet. The alum is obtained hv quarrying large blocks "f stone. which are first heated in great fur naces and then in vats filled with boiling layer about six inches in thickness. This layer Is subsequently, broken up into blocks weighing about ten pounds eaCn.

The demand for compliance with the re- quirements of the Constitution as to ex- animation of State and private banks Is very widespread. and the Legislature can not very well afford to ignore such plain duty. If that clause of the Constitution can be set at naught then every one can While The Advertiser has voiced some of the sentiment in favor of this legislation. we have not believed that failure to act upon some of the measures was due to any improper motives. Yesterday a very good bill passed tho Senate and in the House all the bills on that subject in the hands of the Banking Committee were returned with adverse reports. Mir. Glow CT, the Chairman, and his associates it seems. could not agree upon any bill out of the number before them and now the House can take the matter up. There are two ways open, ono, and 1t looks like the speediest, is to take up the Senate bill, discuss and amend if necessary. The other is to take up the adverse reports and make up satisfactory meas ure. It will be 6 great mistake if some bill for carrying out the requirements of Sections 254 and 255 of the Constitution is not enacted into law.

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

The bill extending the terms of the pres- ent Assessors and Collectors to August l, 1905 now pending before both branches of the Legislature. is a very important one to the State and should be passed with out delay. The Assessors and Collectors are paid the following commissions: Eight per cent on the first LOGO. 4 per cent on the second s1,0O0. per cent on the next $10,0Oo and 1-2 per cent on the next $4S.0o0. Unless this bill passes the change of tax officials will come in the middle of the sions. The Auditor has always properly held that when a change is made during the tax year of an Assessor or Collector for any cause, the new official Is entitled to the same commissions on the first as- sessments or collections made by him as the retiring one. This would cost the State $340 in each County every four years, making total of $20.44O more than at present. The counties would suffer in the same proportion. These figures are based on the supposition that after averaging 1t up every County collects$20 900 State tax, and these figures are approximately cor rect. In addition to this cost it would re- quire an extra examiner to make set dement's between the old and new off cials. It is probable the representatives
 have not taken this view of the matter
 but if they will consult the Auditor they
 will find these figures substantially cor
 rect. This is a plain business proposition 
 with amendments which will endanger its
 passage. as it is of too much importance
 to the State. Let the bill pass.
