is that the committee when it meets again will call State convention for the nomination of candidates for the Supreme Court of Alabama and select delegates to the national convention, and that 1t will leave the matter of county affairs to each county to act independently. TNs question of the manner of nominating a candidate for the presidency of the Ala bama Railroad Commission did not come up in the meeting of the executive com mittee yesterday.
 Joseph N. Nathan, a committeeman from the Eighth district, was active yes- terday in fighting against any resolution calling for a primary. He remained over in Birmingham to-day and in speaking of the situation, said:
 T construe the action of the commit tee last night as opposing the holding of a primary for the nomination of candi- dates for the Supreme Court judgeships. I think the executive committee will de- eide to allow the counties to act inde- pendently and to choose their nominees in whatever manner they see At to adopt. I cannot say as to whether or not the committee is likely to call for uniform date for the counties to select their can didates."
 MT. Nathan stated that he favored a convention for the nomination of State officers and he thinks a majority Of the committee entertains similar views.
 Chancellor R. B Kelly of Anniston. was among those who attended the meet ing of the committee yesterday. It is common rumor that he will seek place on the Supreme Court bench, but at this time he will say nothing about his prospective candidacy.
 Judge William H. Simpson of Decatur is in town to-day. He is being urged by friends fo announce for the Supreme Court, but will say nothing.
 R. T. Simpson. a prominent lawyer of Florence, is being mentioned as & candi- date for the Supreme Court. He is in the city, but has nothing to say in regard to the rumorS.

CHANGE IN UNIFORM.

Adjutant General Miller is notifying
the members of the national guard of
the state through circular that the
regulations regarding the uniform have
been again amended in several parti-
culars. One change is that which sub
stitutes white for the light blue stripes
on the trousers of infantry officers, and
white chevrons for the same arm of the
service. The effect of the order is to
retain the light blue on the cap and
shoulder straps. 1t is largely in de-
ference to the preferences for the old
color that the general staff has provided
for return to the white trouser stripe
and the white cheyron.

THERE was large influx of aliens in
to the northwest last year. but the re-
ports of immigration would indicate that
North Dakota got a thrifty class of
settlers. Over 1000 aliens gave their
destination as North Dakota and of
these 3,l47 were Germans and 3,O35 were
Scandinavians. These are the best class
of foreign settlers. as they prove good
farmers, law abiding and readily as
simulated. OF the undesirable classes
only handful are reported. These
drift more to the large cities than to the
agricultural communities.

WEARY REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

Inc st. Paul DlSpatcn Is TePuolAea"
paper The Dispatch seems, however, to
have grown weary of the methods en-
ployed by republican leaders in the
treatment of the tariff question. In
recent editorial. the Dispatch. referring
to one of Secretary Shaw's addresses in
Ohio. says that the portion of his re-
marks sent out i'll the press reports con-
tain nothing but arguments that have
been worn threadbare.''
According to the Dispatch. Mr.. Shaw
stands with the ultras and irreconcil-
ables. He heckles the old home market
straw again as if it made particle of
difference where on this globe men ate"
The Dispatch points out that mouths
must be filled whether they open in
Austria. Italy, or Germany and no law
yet has been found to prevent steady
multiplication of these entrances to
hungry stomachs. Whether the bread
made from wheat grown in Minnesota is
eaten in the United States, the United
Kingdom or on the continent, affects not
a penny the price the farmer who raises
the wheat gets for it. Time was when
farmers thought it did. That day is
about passed"
The Dispatch explains that it is in
clined to credit Secretary Shaw with a
desire to protect the great basal in
dustries of the country from the re-
actions of crazy spectators first upon
the banks and then upon business"
But the Dispatch says MIR. Shaw's
course lays him open to the charge now
being made by the opposition press that
he merely sought to save the spectators
from the consequences of their own folly:
that MIR. Shaw accepted state and city
bonds for deposited securities: segre-
gated internal revenue by trick in
bookkeeping: held it out of the treasury
whence under the constitution it could
only be drawn by appropriation: refund
ing maturing bonds. prolonglng debt and
interest paying.
The Dispatch declares: "Only a tariff
laid for other ends than revenue could
create conditions which would render
such tnanciering possible. And that
tariff the secretary holds unimpeach-
able: veritable bull Apis which no un-
sanctitied hand must profane. He thus
leads the justification of his actions to
the suspicion that he was more interest
ed in Wall Street than the people,
And then this republican paper. in a
burst of candor. says: THUS the re-
publican party, dominated by the bene-
ticiaries of special privilege, is compelled
to lose an opportunity to close the doors
of issue upon its opponent and leave it
with no other occupation than opposi-
ton for opposition's sake. Should that
come which has come before when the
issue was the same. as sequence of the
this 'driveling ldiocy. there will be poor
satisfaction for the Dispatch in being
where it can say. i told you so.
1t is very evident that some of the
heretofore patient and persevering re-
publican editors are becoming weary of
the ''let we'll enough alone policy in the
presence of serious public evils.

trial earlier than the beginning of next

at the opening of the term was exhausted
last Wednesday evening, after securing
one juror. Another panel of seventy five
was ordered drawn by the court and an
adjournment taken until Friday morn
ing in order that Sheriff Pinkerton and
his deputies might make service of sub
poenas on the additional jurors.
The list of the second panel here given
shows that quite large number were
unlikely to prove qualified to try the

county in which the Barry place is
located, or being intimately acquainted
with important witnesses who testify at

SECOND BARRY TRIAL
Only Eight Jurors Have Been
Secured Yet for the Barry
Trial--Over One Hundred
and Fifty Subpenaed-No
Prospect of Trial Starting
Until Next Week.

Thursday afternoon at the hour of 60
ing to press nine of the last batch of
forty residents of Cavalier county sub
poenaed for jury service have been ex-
amined and excused. There are still
but eight jurors in the box, the number
remaining the same since the accept
ance of E. E. Sherwin on Tuesday.
LATER: Judge Cowan has ordered an
other venire of thirty-ive subpoenas to
be served in an effort to secure a jury.
In brief hour and half this afternoon
the forty brought in since Tuesday we're
disposed of on the challenge of counsel.
So far one hundred and thirty nine sub
pnnas have been served and all but the
eight jurymen in the box excused.
This is the fourth venlre to be issued
for jurors and tits hardly likely re-
turn can be made by the sheriff before
Saturday afternoon.

# six challenged jurors land the defense

of six challenged jurors and the defense
four.
At noon on Tuesday the court took
another enforced adjournment to await
the return by the sheriff of another panel
of forty jurors from which it is expected
the remaining four men necessary to fill
the jury box may be obtained.
The jurors so far secured are George
S. Hambley, of Storlie, w. j. Paris, of
Billings. Peter Olson, of Elkwood, August
johnson, of Gordon, n. NJ. Perius, of
Mt. Carmel, H. J. Hope, of Hope. Frank

Sherwin. Of Langdon city.
The care taken by counsel in pro-
pounding of questions to jurors before
consenting to their sitting on the case
has so far resulted in their excusing
ninety-one of hundred men upon whom
jurors subpoenas have been served.
