Foreign Marriage Fee.

New York Mail and Express.
 The marriage of convenience is an exotic institution to which Americans of the true spirit give little countenance. II serves the continent of Europe all right and is not opposed to the denationalized sentiment of certain American women These will do well to read the details of the Larisch-Monnich scandal which is now amusing Berlin.
 The public prosecutor of the German capital has brought suit against a clique of usurers and marriage brokers who have been demanding $50,0O0 from Count von Larisch- Monnich who in 1901 mar ried a Pennsylvania heiress. It appears that these brokers supplied the count with the funds he needed to pay court first unnecessarily, to Miss Faber daughter of the wealthy pencil manu. facturer, and afterward to the Ameri- can. They financed the matrimonial venture, in word, and now insist upon receiving their share of the profits.
 It Is difficult to see wherein these spec ulators are more to blame than the noble adventurer himself. Neither is the req victim of a bargain by no means rare such bargain as makes American man. hood vince, and should, though 1t will not, check the unlovely social aspirations of American girls. To be held up as the prize in a vulgar business deal; tc be bartered away by strangers and usurers-surely. unless there be sorel decline in the line of Eve than we sus pect, this spectacle must be hateful tc every gentlewoman. It does not pay tc be countess, princess, or a queen al such A cost

Mobile Register.
 The Register questions the wisdom of the legislation by which it Is proposed to cut of the States aid to the Tuskegee School for negroes. The amount granted to these institutions is small. and, there fore, it Is not likely that a consideration of economy influences the proposer of the bill. It Is asserted that 1t is to be Alabama's rebuke to President Roose- welt for his pernicious agitation of the negro question. If this Is so, it is not a good reason. nor worthy of Alabama.
 The theory upon which the money Is appropriated is that education Is good and we believe 1t is a good thing, We believe the educated negroes are our best negroes; we believe if all negroes were wisely educated the negroes would be ,as a whole, better people. We point to the fact that the criminal negroes are the groes. The negro who is educated is gen. erally industrious, has some saving, and is law abiding. He Is not the kind of negro who Is lynched. He has the re, spect of the white people. He is the ex- ample for his own race to initiate.
 The State gives its money to help make more negroes of this sort and to make a better citizenship. To withhold the mon ey will not cause Tuskegee Institute tc fail; and we suppose the normal school or its work will be carried on, even should the State withdraw it's support; SO there is nothing practical in the proposed legislation even if 1t is conceded that ii would be good thing for Alabama tc
 Such legislation. therefore, does not appeal to sober and thoughtful citizens and it will cause our State damage in the estimation of all people of proper thought whether resideRt here or elsewhere.
 We hope such measure will not be Dersisted in

A TRUE INDICTMENT. 8aya The PhfIadeluhia Record:

Not for twenty-five years has the Federal public service been so honey combed with crookedness as it is at the present time. The administration would like to cleanse its Augean stable, but it cannot. How did the multifarious Post once Department scandals, the army con- tract scandals, the Indian land frauds not only the lately disclosed frauds in cur? Entirely through political in- Huence. The men who exerted that in duence are as strong as ever. If the present, and the late administration could not prevent the mischief the present ad- ministration can still less undo it. If 1t should make a genuine effort to do so it would split the Republican Party from top to bottom.
 If we should look at the matter solely from a partisan point Of view we could hardly wish anything better for the Democracy than the recent disclosures in several departments of the government. The scandals of a portion of Grants ad- ministration, the Tweed rascanties in New York and all the other official crook edness of the past can hardly hold light to the developments of the past few months under the present administra- ton. ''Oh, my offence is rank, it smells ko heaven' may well be said by our gov- ernment in view of what can no longer he hidden from the public.
 And, as The Record says, all these scandals are due to political influence, for Hhsy have their origin in the appointments made for political reasons. The chief offenders owe their positions to their political pull, and minor appointments mze made for the same causes. The Record is right. also, when it says that an honest effort to right the wrongs that have been done and to punish the wrong hoers would split the Republican Party From top to bottom" If all the wrongs had been perpetrated by the humble and uuinduential employees of the government they could be punished without injury ke the party in power. but there's the Eub. If an Investigation is made which w9l be thorough and impartial 1t will i'm plicate some of the pillars of the Repub- Riean Party and bring down the entire political structure on the head of the administration. The evils cannot be stopped or punished without involving men very near the top of the body polite knd to bring them to justice would mean jpoliticaI suicide.
 lf the whole dirty business could be aptaved or till after the Presidential elec- Hen it would be a welcome relief to the administration. but that is impossible if Democrats will be true to themselves, to their Party and to the country. Investi- gation. exposure and punishment will not only be the duty of Democrats, but it will De . winning policy. The Republicans have made their Party vulnerable and CUTS must take advantage of 1t.

Medical Use of Tobacco.

HeaItn.
 A good deal of the worlds tobacco crop is neither smoked, snuffed nor chewed At one time tobacco was largely prescribed in medicine, and even today considerable quantities are so made use of As an external remedy for wounds and bruises and sprains a wet tobacco poultice is commonly used in all countries where tobacco is grown. On sore throats, cry sipelas, sciatica and swellings of vari- ous kinds. tobacco, externally applied, tobacco Is one of the best cures ina gina ble for the bite of a poisonous insect. Being so good as 1t is, tobacco is some- times applied by soldiers to raw wounds. It is said that no case of lockjay or mor- tification has ever occurred where this percaution has been taken.

As to Inexcusable Practice.
Macon Telegraph.

Macon Ielegraph.
 The Nashville American recalls an in-
 cident of the first Cleveland administra- | tion that Is highly interesting. Relying | on petition signed by many prominent | men, MT. Cleveland appointed to a judge | ship man who was really unfit for the | position. One of those who had signed the applicants position then wrote the
 President expressing "astonishment and regret" at the appointment and adding that none are more astonished than | those who signed his petition. and I re- gret to say that my name is to be found upon it." In answer to this letter Mir | Cleveland wrote as follows:
 T have read your letter with amaze | ment and indignation. There Is one-but one-mitigation to the perldy which your | letter discloses, and that is found in the | fact that you confess your share in It.
 l don't know whether you are a Demo- crat or not, but if you are the crime which you confess is the more unpar- donable. The idea that this administra-
 tion. pledged to give the people better officers and engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with bad clements of both parties, should be betrayed by those who ought to be worthy of implicit trust, is atrocious and such treason to the people and to the party ought to be punished by im- prisonment. Your confession comes too late to be of immediate use to the public service, and I can only say that, while this is not the first time I have been deceived and misled by lying and treacherous misrepresentation, you are the first one that has so frankly owned his grievous fault. If any comfort is to be extracted from this assurance you are welcome to it.
 This was no more than was to be ex- pected of a man of MT. Cleveland's high ideal of civic virtue and no more than the person to whom 1t was addressed richly deserved. No doubt many a high official has thus been entrapped Into an unwise appointment and the public has suffered because prominent citizens have not had the courage to refuse to sign the petition of an unworthy applicant. The high official is blamed while the promi- nent citizens are really at fault. There is more excuse for the man who urges the Appointment of an incompetent friend for friend is judged indulgently and it is easy to persuade oneself that he will do good work if given a fair chance. But for the practice of blindly signing the petitions of Tom, Dick and Harry merely in order to get rid of them ,or on account of the fear of making enemies of them, therA is absolutely no excuse

ing story illustrative of the vigilance of the Turkish censorship. There is a strict supervision over telegrams. German engineer in the Lebanon placed an order with Paris firm for some sort of a stationary engine, to be shipped to him as soon as possible. The firm telegra phed to inquire how many revolutions a minute he wanted. He answered, Five hun dred revolutions a minute" The next day he was arrested. Brought into court, the judge asked him If he lived in the Lebanon. He replied that he did. Do you correspond with such and such firm in Paris?" Yes" "Ahl" cried the judge; ''I know you You are the man who telegraphed 10 Paris that there are 800 revolutions a minute in the Lebanon!"

The Advertiser most heartily joins with The Mobile Register in opposing the bill of MT. Wood, of Macon, proposing to take away the portion of the agricultural fund appropriated to the Tuskegee and Mont gomery Colored Normal Schools. Such legislation can do no good. On the con trary it is calculated to do harm and to subject our State to unjust criticism. We can afford to deal broadly and literally with the negroes, and it behooves us, as State and a people, to show that we take a kindly interest in everything cal culated to make them better citizens.

From this patch he picked seventy five gallons of berries for sale and the family had all they could use and can, and there were berries left when this item was booked. Two thou sand four hundred quarts at 10 cents per quart equals S240. A fair rental for even Nodaway County land.
 We should say 1t was . fair rent for any land, per acre. as the berries sold from the one-eighth of an acre, saying nothing of those used at home and left in the field. equals 600 gallons to the acre. During a few weeks each spring the people of Montgomery can buy plenty of wild berries. generally of an inferior quality. at low prices. and during the re- mainder of the year if they want berries they will buy those grown and canned somewhere else. Would not berry grow ing and canning pay in Alabama?
