The Two Sides of It.

Bessemer Weekly.
 The clerks union should get together ope-man joints that are kept open after o'clock by the proprietors. It is not a fair proposition that the proprietor who to close his doors at o'clock and allow other stores to remain open. If the man who employs help closes at 6 the man who vghs. does not no employ anyone should sh als9 why.-Labor Advocate, 14th inst.
 We reproduce the above simply in line with what we have heretofore said on the subject of what might be termed union CD bigotry, intolerance and insolence. It fit- ly illustrates the point that we have so often adverted to. namely. that some per have been promoted from ordinary citf- zenship to a superior rank which has power above that of the law. and that ace. force and authority of law. Let us analyze this editorial from the union organ. It advises organizing cam paign against "one:man joints" that Is their stores or places of business open as 1t pieases them or as they believe will best promote their interest. It further men employers to close at and permit other stores to remain open"
 Now we should like to courteously and all this "compeIling" and this permit, ting?" If merchants choose to voluntari- ly close at g. that's all right, but who Is | it that is going to compel them; and again who is 1t that permits" them to remain open after or as long as they want to: | law. that applies to all alike?
 Again 1t says, If a man who employs help closes at 6. the man who does not employ anyone should also close at or know the reason why" This Is powerful i reasoning and has quite as much sense ir it as the logic generally utilized for this purpose.
 Citizens have equal rights before the | law as every intelligent person wei knows. If he is merchant, and whether he employs help or not. he can keep his | establishment open every hour of thS | twenty-four if he so chooses and 1t is nc
 one else's continental business, and if any one attempts to injure him for so doing | they violate his most precious and inval
 uable rights, that of personal liberty oi

An Opportunity Lost.
wedowee Star

The negroes in this section of Randolph County have just lost an opportunity to people respect them.
 When the negro Aaron Sledge the mur- derer and fiend had done his hellish work, the negroes could have turned him over to justice or assisted, at any rate, in his capture. Instead of doing this not A sim gle negro citizen of this community has in hand the sympathy of every negro seems to be with the murderer. and in fact it is the negroes who are keeping him in hid ing and feeding him.
 We advise the negroes to move to Illi- nois, or some other place. They cannot live here, unless they make change for the better.

GETTING IMPATIENT.

Some of our usually conservative New England contemporaries are getting their dander up over the threatened failure of the Panama Canal scheme. and are seri- o'lsly advising the methods of the buc- cancer or the viking. The Boston Adver- tiser. as an example, thinks that as the Pilgrim Fathers seized the country from the Indians. and as Great Britain took land from the Hindoos. and Russia took possession of Siberia, therefore. our Gov ernment ought to take possession .of all the territory needed in South America and cut the canal at once.
 Then The Hartford Times comes in with the argument that Colombia is "a mere possession of vagabonds," and, therefore, the United States should not wait for any contract or concession, but should cut the canal, nolens volens. All this is interesting. but is 1t honest, fair and just? Not one of the cases cited by
 The Boston Advertiser is . good one for a predicate. No just man can defend the course of the white people towards the Indians in the first settlement of America, ana tne IacI tnaL SLrouB 8oVoEumeutS
 have oppressed and robbed the weak, both in the Old and New Worlds, is no evidence that they have right or justice on their side.
 Doubtless the United States Government is strong enough to seize so much of Gen. tral America as is necessary and proceed
 with the work at once. It is just such a proceeding as Roosevelt would delight to inaugurate. It might involve us in a serious war, or 1t might cause critical
 complications with other powers, but
 Teddy would care nothing for that. if he could sec any advantage to the country or
 to himself in such proceeding. But we
 hardly believe that Congress or the peo- pie would sustain him in such a course.
 A canal Is much to be desired, we admit,
 but we do not believe it Is so necessary
 to our existence as a nation as to au-
 thorize us to take a State by force of
 arms and cut a ditch through it. Fur ther negotiations may result in an agree
 ment under which the Panama Canal can
 be cut without any ill-feeling or danger | ous complications.
 And then there is always Nicaragua.

The Advertiser knows fun well that however much MT. Bryan may have overtalked the ocasion, there is yet d very large following that will hearken unto him, and that they must be consid- cred in coming events; and 1t also knows that Bryan will not fail to be on hand with his conditions" upon which the party may look for peace and prosperity in the next campaign.-Mobile Item.
 Yes. he'll be there. and he'll talk, if any one will listen to him. but unless he experiences a change as thorough as that which befell St. Paul any ''condi- tions'' he may offer will hardly receive consideration. The next convention is going to be Democratic and will not listen to Bryanistic conditions.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-08-25

The anxiety of some of our Republican contemporaries to have General Miles made the nominee of the Democracy Is truly touching They lie awake o'nights matching up arguments to show that 1t is the very thing for our Party to do, and the only thing. It would be surprising if the object were not so plain, but they know that his election would be an im- possibility, and hence their advice to Democrats. If their solicitude for Miles is so great, let them nominate him fin place of the small politician now slated. In that way they may prove their sheer ity.

that have been shipped in any one week
