SENIOR HoAR's PANAMA SPEECH
From the Hartford Post.

From the Har1ofd PoSt.
 Of course, everybody sees and realizes that the whole Panama affair is "a box of tricks but the duty of the party man who supports his President through thick and thin is to call everything the Presi- dent may do statesmanlike and admirable, even If it is apparently quite otherwise. MT. Hoar of Massachusetts is the one re- publican in the senate who cannot be de- pended on to give to any President of his own party this sort of support. The Massachusetts senator differs from all his party associates in his conception of his duty to his party as well as to the public interest. It is as a republican that he criticises and. with the skill of a vivi- sectionist surgeon. applies the knife to the skin of the gentleman in the White House. who, in his opinion, has put the republican party in position which in- vites the contempt and the scorn of fair minded men.

THE ALABAMA PRESS.

Elba Clipper: We hope the republicans will have as bad luck with their conven- tion at Chicago as the democrats had with one there few years ago.
 Anniston Hot Blast: The newspaper are full of accidents of the burning to death of children. There ought to be such thing in the law books as criminal ne- glect.
 Huntsville Mercury Judge Speake has had a steady job since his appointment. He has been on the bench nearly every day since he was made judge of the cir cult court.
 Gadsden Journal: The next state demo- cratic primary should let down the bars. Thousands of former adherents of the party will be driven home by the Roose- welt programme in Alabama.
 Mobile Register: Andrew Carnegie has been telling the New York reporters what he does not know about negroes and the south. It is a little matter what he thinks or doesn't think, for his recent talk is pretty fair proof of lack of thought; but. in his own interest, he might come down south and acquire some information, and thus avoid making a show of his ignor- ance.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

by our southern neighbor Brazil. While revolution and strife of various degrees assail Colombia. Panama and the other governments in miniature affairs have been comparatively quiet in Brazil and consequently her people have been making steady strides forward. During the past century Brazil has grown from 5000, 900 to more than 1S.000, GOO people She is as large as all Europe, as fertile as Java and 1t Is predicted that within the next two centuries she is destined to support a larger population than Gny other polit- teal unit on the globe. such statements are surprising to most people, for ignor- ance is general concerning this most in- teresting South American government. Although Brazil has suffered many draw backs, it's progress has been gradual and gratifying to her loyal people. The great est obstacle encountered was the mon- archial government established by the Portugese government, but after the fall of Dom Pedro her advancement was rap i'd. The future of Brazil is remarkably bright at present, and Uncle Sam is look ing on with quiet satisfaction at the growth of his South American neighbors, secure in the belief that there will be no European medding at any time soon.
 Paraguay is another interesting study in state craft Between 1864 and 1870, Par aguay lost 225, 900 able-bodied men out of her 250,O0O available fighting force. This heavy loss. was incurred by efforts to keep in his place Lopez. the would-be Ma poleon Since the war she has returned to the pursuits of peace, and now Paraguay is making rapid strides to that stage where she will be entitled to take rank with the leading republics of the world. With Paraguay. Chilli, Uruguay, and Bra gil as mainstays, the future of South America certainly can not be considered hopeless.
 It can not be denied that Christmas presents are very important at this sea son of the year, but ingenious man has contrived to provide some Christmas boxes" that do credit Co his mental pow CTS and his originality. In Washington, there Is a colored waiter in saloon named Dorsey" who Is noted for his ideas for Christmas boxes. He believes in keeping up with the times, and when the full dinner pail was the republican slogan he contrived a box fashioned like dinner pail, and marked Empty" This year he thought that Langley's air. ship affaorded a good theme, and now his little airship iss quite the thing. The pro- pellers. and all other paraphernala are there, and beneath Is little box for loose change Another saloon has Christmas box painted in no mean fashion to repre- sent a Christmas scene, and the contribu- tons have been generous. The iron pot of the Salvation Army on street corners is also a happy thought, for which many homeless wanderers have cause to feel thankful every year. P. C..

 These figures were slightly exceeded in 1901 and in 1900, but still it must be held that our foreign trade is holding up well--so well that $15,00S, 130 of gold has already been imported, and fully $6,O0OOOO more has been engaged for shipment to this country.
 The pre-eminence of cotton in the list of exported articles should not escape notice. It stands without rival at the head of the country's exports. We add table that tells the story briefly.

From the New York Press.
 A woman can't help feeling proud of husband who gets lots of telegrams.
 It's curious that no general ever thought of terrifying the enemy by making 1t face the cook.
 The woman who brags to others about her husband doesn't do it to convince them, but herself
 Very few women have any doubts that other men would envy their husbands if they knew what they know about them.

LTHoUGH Monte Carlo stories, wherein women in red sit calmly

| N LTHoUGH Monte Carlo stories, 1 PV wherein women in red sit calmly
 at a green covered table and stake thousands on the red" are not quite so numerous just Tt present, having given way. probably. to the rush Of Christmas fiction, it is a fact that gam bling at this princely resort is constantly increasing and some recent figures fairly stagger the mind with their mmensity. It is estimated that the psst years earn ings at Monte Carlo aggregated a total of $7000OOO. As the ratio of profits is about per cent on the table stakes this would represent a sum of s3S} 900 0o0 stalk ed on the tables by deluded people who come to the great gambling palace Tn the hope of wooing Dame Fortune success fully Instead of decreasing the gam bling fever seems to be raging higher than ever before, and with their rapid accumulation of wealth Americans are becoming frequent habitues In fact it has become quite the thing for travellers of means to try a flyer" at Monte Carlo just for the experience It would be in- teresting to know just how many become permanent captives for their foolhardi- ness At any rate it can be said that gambling at Monte Carlo is the most bril- ! liant, the most gorgeous and the most fascinating In the world No amount of gold could provide the atmosphere that hovers over Monte Carlo that mysterious haunt of broken fortunes dazzling wealth and suicides. No wonder that the science loving Prince of Monaco prefers to de- vote himself to the mysteries of the sea and forbids his people to indulge in the games. His revenues are handsome enough without rlsking them at the ta- bles
 The Sunday New York World gives an interesting list of the new star boarders at Sing Sing. Among the names men toned is that of Sam Parks, Col Bob Anon, Sharlsey, the slayer of Banker Fish; Alvord, a gentleman who had a propensity for bank funds George H Pell banker and society man; William Hooper Young, Ross Raymond, criminals of note; Lawyer Mills, Quigley, a former banker, and Edward Wise reprieved from ehS aNuNh AphSc. fAoni lulS llSl Ol tele- brities it can readily be seen what dis tinguished society can be found in the most aristocratic prison in the world. It is quite likely that man of parts has no difficulty in being recognized while an ordinary criminal is frigflly tabooed. Thus we see one of the amusing sides of human nature. We have heard often of honor among thieves but now that excel- lent quality may be overlooked in crim- inal nobility, just as it is frequently done among nobility outside of prison.

"Doan's Ointment was used in a chron.

dreds OF dollars were spent in trying
to force a cure, but if some of the rem

ailment. it broke out again, afresh
with renewed force. Some people are
prone to such attacks and are much
harder to cure than others. This was
the case of this unfortunate descrip-
ton. Now, l want this thoroughly
understood, that Doan's Ointment, pro-
duced at Goodall's drug store, gradual

until it disappeared. The portion of

very great Importance, and the result
will decide whether the people are to
take the control of their own affairs
into their own hands at the start, and
manage their local government in
their own interest. or whether our
county affairs are to be run for anOth-
err two years by the bosses and for
the bosses.
We understand that all the princes
and dukes and dupes of the old dynas-
ty are already busily at work organic
ing their plans for the campaign, and
the people should be equally alert.
1t will be especially important in
his contest for voters to guard
against having dust thrown in their
eyes by the raising of questions that
are not at issue. The tariff will not
be involved in this issue. The 16 to ]
question will not be al issue. We are
not even going to settle the statehood
question. So it will not make q parti-
Gle of difference what a mans opin-
ions may be upon any uestion of n a
tional politics. All that we have to
consider with my candidate is wheth-
er he is a good man, and will help to
give us a good, clean administration,
in the interest of the people. If he
measures up to that standard 1t will
be right to vote for him, and it will
not be necessary in either case to
stop to inquire whether in politics he
is a republican. a democrat or a So
cialist.
