Drunk With Power.

 or course the assertion of Senator Plat are heritage, from the Democratic ly so the claim that the Republican posture. The inclination to suppress the facts and to keep the scandal within Tim its has been too evident to justify any mistake. The exposure was not intended and the frauds were kept quiet as long as that was possible.
 Unfortunately frauds are not peculiar to any party. If there is any quality that Is absolutely non-partisan it is rascaiity But the force of political gravitation naturally carries the majority of the ras- calls into the party in power. The longer the party has been in power and the greater the prospect of it's retaining its hold. the greater the influx of men who desire to use it for criminal purposes. TC this 1t may be added that long lease of power weakens the sense of responsl- bility of men in office. and removes the fear that malfeasance may turn them out.
 Though the Republicans have been but six years in full control it is now ten years since they began winning elections and repeated successes have had the ef- feet of intoxicating their brains. Hence precedents" and to inaugurate an era ot extravaganza. loose administration and corruption. The rascals have not only multiplied. but the old rascals have be- come bolder They are drunk with con tinued success and the prospect of a long lease of power, The time has again come to turn the raScals ont"

MAKING A TOWN.

It takes small as we'll as large indus | tries to make a prosperous manufactur- ing town In fact, the proportion of
 sn all is greater than that of large estab- | lishnents. There are cases in point all | over the United States. Either from | lack of capital or indisposition to make | manufacturing investments, Montgomery
 does not occupy the position in the man. ufacturing world to which she Is entitled 1 by reason of her great advantages.
 We live in less than seventy-five miles | of everything needed for the manu- fracture of iron and steel. and we say | 1t in all seriousness that iron and steel profitably conducted here. The Alabama River can furnish at practically no cost
 the great volume of water needed in
 manufacturing establishments, and after
 the raw material is worked up. can hear
 the product on its bosom to Mobile Bay
 and thence by water routes to the utter
 most parts of the earth. There is no city
 In the South which, by location. resources
 ana general advantages. presents a fairer
 held for profitable manufacturing than Montgomery.
 We should take advantage of every op. portunity that offers for the location ot new industries in our midst, and The Advertiser desires to commend the action of the City Council in selling a lot fin the northern portion of the city to a citi- zen of Selma. It is his intention to put up small plant. which will work in iron and steel, but small beginnings off, ten make big endings We ought not to stand out for the last pound of flesh in dealing with those who propose to put money and manufacturing skill here. If we are ever to have a town where the people are busy for twelve instead of six months in the year, we should meet all intending investors more than half way. If we stand out and try to drive hard bargains, those who otherwise would plant here will pass us by and seek an- other location.

Says The erirginian-Pilot:

In all the talk of harmony and unity in the party, we have never been able to reach any satisfactory conclusion as to whether the so-called Cleveland ele- ment of the party, at the North, really desires party harmony or party victory.
 To any fair-minded observer. 1t will seem that victory can only be expected by and through harmony in the party Of course The V.-P. cannot yet get the be- lief through its cranium that there are any genuine harmony hunters except these who believed that in MT. Bryan and his theories were concentrated all the Democracy in existence. We beg to inform that paper that the Democrats who are most anxious for success are to be found among those who never believed in Bryan or in the things he most be- lieves in.

THE WORST YET.

The most altogether jackassical proposi- ton that we have yet seen in connec- tion with the race question is made by one Thomas s. Bruce, who writes from Warrenton, N. C., to The Boston Tran script. We don't know whether he is d white man or a colored one; We only know he Is a fool. His idea is to get together practically all the negroes of the North and bring them into the various Southern States, bringing into tAe South" as he expresses it, such a deg of brain and culture and experience . would carry Southen civilization a long step forward"
 This, as intimated, is the ultimate pos sibihty in the line of assininity. It is mot unreasonable to suppose that many Northern negroes would be glad to come Ance of protection, and where they can work for living without molestation, but 10 believe that they can be brought and located here is the most thorough pipe dream we have yet heard. The man seems actually to think that If he could
 
 ern negroes down here it would be such an avalanche as would speedily settle the Southern problem. That number of negroes among the eight or ten millions of Southern negroes would be about as much of a factor in changing existing conditions as would a flock of black birds.
 And his idea of carrying Southern civI lization forward by ejecting into 1t tn brand of negroes who have made the. homes in the North because in many most instances they are too lazy to We. in Southern corn and cotton fields $ absurd as to be positively refrcshiu Should any of them be induced to COZ. South they would settle in the cities :. make an addition to the already eurrlu~ popuia ton of idle, shiftiess and dissolutc characters who are now such nuisanso tn all Southern towns and cities. We have more of that character now than wo have use for, and would be under obiiga- tiois to MT. Bruce 1t he would relieve us Of c goodly number of them. Perhaps after all. this Is intended as counter move to the ono which proposes to take . few hundred thou.aild Southern colored people North. Are we going to get back 10 the cnce rather usual fashion Of "swappin' niggers?"

In the city of Wash ington alone 4Oo persons. the report de- clares. were improperly appointed to of , fourteen larger cities in the country than Washington. and the same unla wful use of the postal patronage as spells was going on under Heath in all of them
 Postmaster General Payne now promises to make public General Bristow's long withheld report within two or three days" He is evidently acting under a pressure that he cannot resist; presuma- bly from the President himself At first he ridiculed the charges, and all the way through he has shown great unwilingness to investigate them-so great that Mr. Roosevelt turned the work over to As- sistant Postmaster General Bristow and Wynne with instructions to report secret ly to him.
 Mir. Payne has done his best to protect Heath. He stolidly refused to listen to the demand for Machens suspension until Machens arrest forced his hand In short. he has been persistent drag on the wheels of the searching inquiry into the postal scandals which the President has all along appeared to desire. Mean while the scandals are growing bigger every day as new ramifications of corrup- ton and ls-mongering come to light. The New York postoffice Is now the centre of an inquest to which Chief Inspector Cochran is giving his personal attention. and which seems likely to furnish work for a United States grand jury in the near future.
 The Presidents position is said to be this No honest Republican official can have fears or an honest inquiry; no dis honest official need ask any favors." This is an admirable attitude The country will sustain and applaud him If he ad- heres to 1t to the end.
 But why keep Payne at he head of the department after he has hown such utter n rDot Uyifh ha aVowed purpose to uncover all the rascali- ty and punish all the rascals?

Traitors to the Labor Cause.

Philadelphia Bulletin.
 The accusations which have been made by the District Attorney of New York against two labor leaders, or walking delegates" ought not to be cried down or pooh-hooed by the honest friends of labor
 There can he no conduct on the part of labor leader that is more infamous and detestable thu to make private profit for himself out of their difficulties or their strikes. or to betray them for spot cash to their employers
 Such a greedy and mercenary sneak ought to he branded as a renegade and traitor and driven out forever from the companionship of decent and self-respect- ing workingmen. It Is to the interest of every labor organization which is true to itself and its welfare to assist and not to obstruct the attempts to ferret out the scoundrels who thus abuse their con idence and play the part of Benedict Arnods to the cause of labor.

ALABAMA AND ST. Iours

In another place in todays Advertiser Is published an Appeal to Alabamians, |" issued by the Committee of Alabama fly endorse it. A small and insignificant exhibit will be worse than none at all Deteached exhibits from different sections of the State will be worse than nothing. The State ought to be creditably repre- sented or not at all.
 Other States are lining up and showing liberal spirit in this matter. Missis- sippi has appropriated $5o,0O0. and 1t will hardly be claimed by the most apathetic citizen that Alabama has less to exhibit, or will be less benefited than will our neighbor on the West, Even Indian Ter ritory, with a population but little more than one-fifth that of Alabama, will have fund of $50 600, one-half of which is appropriated by the Federal Government, but the other $25,0O is made up by vol | untary contributions from the citizens.
 Shall Alabama be behind all the other States in such an important matter? As we have before stated, it is impossible to say what the Legislature will do when it meets. because 1t is impossible to know what the conditions will be at that time. It may see the way to appropriate at least $25,OOo, and we sincerely hope it will, but whether the State makes a large or small appropriation. or none at all, the people and the various commercial bodies and organizations can supply the deficiency and ought to do it. There is plenty of time, but none to spare. What is done should be well done and done in time

Payne and the Postal Scandals.

Payne and the Postal Scandals. New York World
 When the charges of Seymour w Tul- loch, ex-cashler of the Washington CD. C.) postoffice. were first made public some three months ago Postmaster General Payne characterized them as 'Nhot air. and denounced Tulioch as "a windbag " Later he sent Tulloch truculent demand ito make good or shut up" Then he sneered at the statement of facts prompt ly furnished by Tulloch as mere gen eralities." And as recently as May 23 loch's charges had been completely re- futed.
 The report of the Civil Service Commis- sion, made public last Saturday, sustains Mir. Tulloch's charges in many essential points. It shows conclusively that Post master General Payne's laborlous efforts to discredit Tulloch were simpy part of his policy of flushing up" the postal scandals in the supposed interest of the party. The Civil Service Commission re- ports, in substance:
 l. That for several years past the Washington Postoffce has been used as a dumping ground for large numbers of un- necessary employees
 ? That the civil service law has been eVaded as to its letter and violated as to its spirit by transfers from outside offices to the Washington postoffice of persons not entilued to civil service positions
 g. That most of these unlawful appoint ments and transfers were directed by the department or requested or suggested by high department officials"
 In short, this report of the civil service commission fully justifies the charge originally made and many times repeated by The World that, under the administra- ton of First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Perry s. Heath, the vast patronage of the Postofiee Department was prae-
