HOW REVOLT WAS NURsED.
Turk Governs Macedonia by Day
 Rebels by Night.

I have been asked to describe the Mace doniar juntas in various cities in Europe and America and briefly to tell the story of the mysterious Macedonian committee
 their parent stock in the Balkan, writes Vladimir Andreieff Tsanoff in the Boston
 Transcript In view of the extent which the present Macedonian revolution is as suming and of the magnitude of the bat ties reported to have taken place during the last fortnight there exists a wide spread curiosity to know the nature of this committee which can successfully defy and repulse the trained regiments of the Turkish army. It appears that the Turks did not suffer such heavy casual ities during the whole course of the Graeco- Turkish war as the Macedonian insurgents inflicted upon them in two battles already fought.
 First I shall give an account of the Vutreshna Organizatsia, the organization which declared the rebellion, and then of the Macedonian juntas outside of Mace donia. Imperium in imperio is the only word which adequately describes the con
 trol of the Macedonian committee upon affairs in European Turkey. There never existed more powerful revolutionary system. on A larger scale, in the face of greater obstacles. When compared to it. underground Russia. about which so
 many volumes nave been WrllteH' Was d mere undergraduates play performed by students of Russian universities. When compared to it. the Taeping rebellion was
 hut huge and formless mass; even the Cuban and Filipino insurrections' with Aguinaldo thrown in, are outclassed by the Macedonian committee
 When I speak of the Macedonian com mittee I mean the Vutreshna Organizat- sia. the Organization of the Interior '" which has existed for the last seven years. which, although 1t has branches in Bulgaria, is entirely independent of any Sofia committees. and which, hay ing foied the plans of the Sofia com mittecs and resisted the overtures of Prince Ferdinand, has now achieved su- preme command over the revolutionary situation and is fighting for the creation of an autonomous Macedonia.
 Double System in Macedonia.
 Two governments rule over the desti- nies of Macedonia, two armies, two sys- tens of secret poliece. two tribes Of tax gatherers, two kinds of courts-the Mos lem and the Christian. By day, from dawn till dark, 1t is the Turk who carries on his at~ocious mlsgovernment. By the ai4 of an army of 25O.OOO he executes the
 Sultan's orders. But at night the Fur kish zaptieh retires to the konak; the

ton earlier revolutions; every device of General Aguinaldo's, every lesson of the South African war, has been carefully mastered. Practically the insurgents have not accomplished what was expect ed of them. Moving about in the dark, they have not always picked out the strategic positions; they have allowed themselves to be surprised by the Turk too often. But the number of officers of the Bulgarian army who have forsaken their sheltered life in exchange for the restless activity of the Macedonian rev olution has been so large that the tactics of the Insurgents have steadily improved. The recent engagement above Monastir. in which the rebels routed a Turkish army. inflicting loss of 210 killed on the battlefield is the best achievement yet.
 The Insurgent Soldiers.
 There is nothing fantastic about the uniform and equipment of the Macedon- ian insurgents. They look the soldier much more than does the Turk. AS pack animals are not feasible, every insur- gent carries his total equipment on ms back, consisting of a Manniicher or Gras rife, the official armament or the Bulgarian and Greek armies, respective ly-a few Berdan rifles and American Martinis are intermingled-also four belts of cartridges each. two frightened across the waist and one slung across each shoulder; a revolver and two dyna- mite bombs. For self-destruction in case of capture each insurgent also carries a packet of immediate poison and kama (stiletto). The insurgent uniform resem- bles that of the Bulgarian soldier only that 1t Is very light. much of 1t being leatnern, for durability. In place of boots the insurgeits wear opintsi-san- dals of cowhide, or pigskin.

Editor The Advertiser:
 have greatly admired the stand taken on the negro problem by The Advertiser. of Judge Jones its position was very manly and fair. Now that iniquity having been disposed of 1 hope The Advertiser will call the attention of the Legisla- ture to the passage of such law in the executing the criminal in the very quick est time possible. It seems to me that sort of emergency court could be cre- ated in which these particular criminals could be tried almost as soop as arrested, and executed as soon as sentenced. It not be class legislation From the Pres ident down to the shallowest scribbler in the newspapers, who so violently oppose lynch law, they all base their denuncia- tions on the claim and right of all ac- cused persons to have due process of observed the mob, are murderers. etc. Now. when you think all through that due process of law" in its practical workings you will find that by thiS very means the justice contemplated by the law is often frustrated Hence I don't pay so much attention to the general howl for due process of law. And yet by all means 1t should be carried out. if it can be. Why can't jury be lawfully collected in ten minutes after the rapist is arrested, and with the magistrate of the beat, or the oldest voter in the neigh authority to appoint sheriffs, and go through the due form of examining Wit nesses, etc. Why can't this be done and hang the brute by due process of law"
 1 hope the Legislature will fix for kill ing these williams quickly. by some such due course of law. Yours, etc., J. w. Rush. Dothan, Ala, Sept. 10. 1903,

Money in Fact and Fiction.

From f1dTpST Wcchiys
 These are strange times in the accum ulation of fortunes-stranger than fiction could ever have made them. Think of it for moment! Andrew Carnegie. cam ny little Scotch boy, came to this un' known land a few decades ago, bare footed, and last year offered to settle thu Venezuelan imbroglio between Germany England. France and Italy and the Soutl American republic by leaning Venezue la the entire sum of these international debts And yet a fortune so huge as to permit of such offers is as nothing to the power of another man. MT. Rocke' feller, personally a quiet American citi' zen from Cleveland a simple liver with few habits of luxury, could easily buy half a dozen of the independent king doms of Europe; could without feeling it to any great extent in his pocketbook take up the debts of all the republics Tn Central and South America.
 Again. in 1SA. Alexandre Dumas pub Iished a book called "The Count o1 Monte Cristo," the basis of which Is the fabulous wealth of an individual. The count finds a cave full of almost price- less jewels. He buys mems lives. he spends money everywhere; he comes to Paris with a notice from his Italian bankers giving him unlimited credit on Paris bank There is no limit on what he
 
 tirely unprecedented. Nothing like 1t was ever known before. He draws 100000 francs and ruins the banker and still no complaint from his Roman house. He rights wrongs; he saves more lives; he punishes the guilty by the use of unlim- ited wealth. And then by and by he leaves Maximillian on the Island of Mon- te Cristo with his bride and sails away. As Maximilian sees his ship disappear on the horizon he finds Monte Cristo's will leaving him his whole fortune. The for tune, Dumas suggests in two or three places, was 100000, 900 francs-$20, ,OO0,00O It is the greatest private fortune the Frenchman could conceive of in 1S4-it is considerably less than the income of John D. Rockefeller in 1903.
 So you might run on, if you did not tire the brain, to conceive more. But most remarkable of all. this one indi- vidual made his unprecedented wealth with his own brains.

The Veteran Pension Bill.

kEditor The Advertisers:
 1t would seem that grave constitutional questions are presented which if not re-
 medied may defeat the pension bill now
 under consideration in the Senate. I am
 informed that the style of the bill is as follows: Be 1t enacted by the Leglsla-
 ture. Section A of the Constitution
 declares. The style of the laws of this
 State shall be Be it enacted by the Legislature of Alabama The omission
 of the words, "Of Alabama unless
 amended, may be fatal to the validity of
 the bill if passed and approved in its present shape. As to this question, how ever, l have not examined the authorities.
 Conceding for the sake of argument, that failure to comply literally with the above section would be fatal. the query is at once suggested. can the omission or defect under the status of the bill be cured by amendment? An examination of Section 125 of the Constitution will un- doubtedly show that when the Governor Vetoes a bill and also proposes an amend ment. the first question for that house to consider in which the bill originated, is, shall the proposed amendment be adopt ed. and If the House to which the bill is returned refuses to make such amend ment, IL shall proceed to reconsider. and if majority of the whole numoer elected to that house shall vote for the passage of the bill it shal! be sent with the objec- tons to the other house." etc.
 From this section 1t would seem that after Il veto. or a veto with proposed amendment, the power over the bill is defined and limited. It must therefore follow that no amendment to the style of
 the bill after veto can be valid, and if on
 account of the defective style of the bill
 it would be unconstitutional then no
 amendment in it's present status Will cure
 the defect I call attention to this not
 for the purpose of defeating the pension
 appropriations proposed but that it may
 be remedied. 1 am inclined to the opin-
 ion that q new bill will have to be in-
 troduced, If our veterans are to have any pension increase Lex.
