MAJ. SCREWS IN SEATTLE.
An Interview With Him on the West
 and on Alabama.

Seattle Times.
 Ala, and one of the most influential and prominent daily newspapers of the South. Is a guest at the Rainier Grand. MT: Screws recently attended a meeting or the National Editorial Association at Omaha, where he was elected First Vice President of that organization, and he has since been visiting the West. In a talk with Times reporter this afternoon, Major Screws said:
 After tour of six weeks in nearly every state west or ; the MlsslSsippi' the the more impressed upon me. The idea which prevails in the East, of Western hnstling is easily seen to be correct after
 ''In Alabama we have four great inter- ests, coal and iron, timber, agriculture and commerce, and in each 1t Is our con The State is best known for it's wonder ful mineral development, yet 1t is a fact, as surprising at home as abroad. that the portion of the State farthest removed from the mines made the greatest in crease in population in the last decade Some of the counties in the timber and agricultural belt doubled their popula- ton in ten years.
 Our people are jubilant over assured corn crops greater than the three last who have to buy Western corn and meat
 Under present prospects the cotton crop will easily bring 10 cents a pound. WHICH IS |IV lO S1o ulOEe per Ddle OL OVU pounds than in recent years. These two things, good prices for cotton and big corn crop. will put a brighter face on con ditions in Alabama than has been seen in many years.
 Politically, we are very quiet. Of course the nominees or the Democratic party, State and national, will carry Ala banaa. The Bryan wave has subsided and in my judgment, Mir. Cleveland today is the choice for President of more Demo- crats than all the others combined. At a recent meeting of newspaper editors of Alabama there were sixty-five present when a vote was taken for choice for next President MT. Cleveland received s. were scattered among a dozen Democrats MT. Bryan and MT. Hill receiving one each. Three years ago in the same crowd probably my own and four or i've others would have been the total of votes for Cleveland.
 Tt has been a revelation @ me to find how completely the free silver idea has disappeared from the Democratic pro- gram in the West One distinguished Democrat of Montana, who supported Bryan ardently in 1896 and 1900, said that silver was a by-product now and express ed the opinion that if MT. Cleveland should become the Democratic nominee he would receive the electoral vote of Montana.
 This tour has been a wonderful mind, have always thought that we were the greatest nation of the world but seeing that we possess everything needed for human wants or public needs. now feel that we can stand our own against any and all comerS."

ANOTHER ABSURD SUGGESTION.

Among the absurdities of the hot spell we have seen few that were more utterly assinine than the suggestion from some source not now remembered. that General Miles be made the Democratic nominee for the Presidency: It is worse than some of Bryan's suggestions. if anything can be worse. Because many of the most influential Democratic papers of the coun- try have properly criticised the contemp- tible course pursued by the administra- tion towards Miles, affords no excuse for even the suggestion that the Party would so thoroughly stultify itself as to take him up and nominate him.
 In the first place, General Miles is not a Democrat, and we do not know that he ever claimed to be one. or that he has ever voted the Democratic ticket. and the Party might just as well take Hanna or Foraker, or any other Republican. Even if he should quit the Republican Party and ally himself with the Democrats, it would not mend matters, for our Party is not so hard up for material that it needs to borrow a man from the Republicans or reward one of them because he has quit his Party on account of shabby treatment.
 The nomination of Miles by the Demo- crats would do more to split the South than any other movement that could be thought of. His treatment of President Davis has neither been forgotten nor for- given. and will not be. His nomination would be signal for such revolt as the Democracy has not yet witnessed. Thous- ands would refuse to support him on ac.. count of his politics, and other thous- ands because of the Davis episode Be- tween the two he could no more carry the Solid South than Root could. How ever, as there is no possibility that such an absurd suggestion can ever material aze. 1t is not necessary to waste time over 1t. The Democracy will nominate a man who has a Democratic record to sustain him.

Washington, Aug. 3.-tSpeeial. l-Al- though Acting Postmaster General @ "ynne nre Paul Herman that he would be able to execute the contract for the printing of the money order blanks. ana tneretoTe . office Department will take no chances on having the money order business come sy S to ake saod Y he sse plates from which transfers to the Autograph, ing stones are made have been delivered but Is Py .ns certain that Herman will be unable to make his first delivery on September 1. according to his
 es for lor work Svsh II the transfers could not be made in time and the books printed. numbered and bound and ready for de- livery inside of thirty days.
 Consequently. the Department Is pre- pared to pursue it's policy of favoring Herman up to the absolute limit and when he notifies 1t that he will be unable to deliver the books on September {. the contract with the present contracors will be extended to such time as Herman Is able to begin his deliveries The present contract gives the Department the privi- lege Of extending 1t for three months and 1t Is believed at the Department that with In that period Herman will be able to get together a plant and go on with his work. Although the policy of favoring contractor to the extent of awarding him contract without his having a plant of any kind for its execution and no finan- cial resources of his own Is a new depart ure even Tor the PoSt0ffice Department where so many queer contracts have been let, the officials in charge were so irn- pressed with the fact that Herman is the first bidder in recent years, at leazt, to propose to save the Department any money, they have determined to give him every possible chance within their power although they doubted his ability to exc cute the contract to the extent of requir- ing of him double the bond required from contractors about whose reliability there Is no question.
 All that Is now required of Herman be- fore. executing his contract is to procure plant. gather together the workmen necessary, procure his paper, print, number and bind the books and deliver them to the Depart ment. These are apparently minor de- tails In the view of the department of- ficials who are satisfied that the con- tract having been awarded to Herman he will have no difficulty in making good
 Things are managed differently at the Navy Department where bitter experience has taught the officials of the naval establishment that the acceptance of ex- ceptionally low bids invariably leads to great difficulties and annoyances and ultimately to much additional expense on the part of the government. At the present time the Department is having its hands full trying to rescue from hungry creditors torpedo boats and other naval vessels whose construction was given to small shipyards, badly equipped, by reason of inferior capacity and financial

STOCKING ROOM"
Kansas City Bank Shields Its Women
 Denositors.


 Kansas City Special to N. r. World
 A stocking room' has been built and furnished in the National Bank of Com merce of this city. It is called the stock ing room" becaus 1t Is a place where woman may go to be alone and out of sight while she takes from it's secure hid ing place the money she wishes to de- posit.
 The room is beautifully furnished. It has an inlaid floor of different colored woods, wainscoting of mahogany, the walls set with mirrors and chlffonier in one corner with combs, brushes. rouge and other toilet articles; but the most in- teresting things in the room are three mahogany stools. about twelve inches high. with a leather cushion at the top of each.
 These stools are not intended to be sat upon. There are chairs for that purpose. The stools are for women to put their feet upon while they are taking out their money. Next door to the stocking room" is the woman's main room, with desks and chairs, and beyond that is a waiting room finished in mahogany.
 William H. Winants. President of the bank. took The World correspondent into the stocking room" today and showed him it's beauties and mysteries.
 Not many men will ever see the in- side of the room." said Mir. Winants Ut is sacred to the use of our women clients. A colored maid will always be in attendance in this suit of rooms. and no man may enter its portals during banking hours. I have seen the neces- sity of it ever since I have been in the banking business. It is fact that half the women who come to this bank to de- posit money carry 1t either in their stock ings or in the bosoms of their dress. have often had women come to my desk and blushingly inform me that they wish ed to deposit some money, but would have to go into retirement first in order to produce it.

Russia and Japan Unlred.

Boston Transcript.
 On the one hand is a mighty nation conscious of great and pressing needs born Of its own revolutionary forces; conscious also of its almost limitless power On the other is practically new nation with unbounded faith in itself and quickly re- sponsive to the impulse of it's expanding national life. These two are in head-on collision if they proceed with their di- verse interests, and under these condi- tions it is almost impossible to prevent the generation of friction. Russia and Japan can gain no glory in the pages of future history by an appeal to force. but they can illumine them by an exhi- bition of forbearance and mutual justice Justice under trying circumstances

speedier Justice Will Help.

Atlanta Journal.
 We venture to say that iG it were known from practical experience that the hein- ous crimes which provoke lynching would be punished by sure legal process within ten days the rope and faggot would dis appear from current history. And in no part. of the country would it disappear sooner than in the Southern States. Speedy justice. in Alabama or in Illinois, or on Boston Common, is the sole reme- dy for lynching. so long as the two races remain together and so long as one pro- duces black demons and the other is of Saxon and Baltic blood.

resources, because they were rne lowest bidders. On account of troubles of this character the Secretary of the Navy Is empowered by Congress to let contracts to best bidders as well as lowest bidders and Is not necessarily confined to the lowest bidder" other conditions being unequal The Postofice Department had a similar discretion in this instance but, in the hope of offisetting the effect of the recent scandalous disclosures by showing an apparent saving of about $10,000 year on the first large contract to be let since the Machem-Beavers combination was busted preferred to take chance on a failure of the new contractor rather than face a storm of criticism which they believed would follow their refusal to &C., cept the lowest bid. As they realize that Herman's failure to furnish the blanks would reflect most seriously on their judgment they are, consequently, de- termined to favor him to the limit. As a high official remarked: Herman will not fail: for we won't let him fail"
 His failure would be doubly embarrass- ing to the department in view of the fact that the offer of tAe United Typothetae of America to supply the blanks at the price quoted by Herman was refused by the department. The Typothetae was con vinced of his inability to execute the contract and therefore offered to divide the work among the members of the organization and supply the blanks at this -figures even at loss. As the organiza- tion represents s120. .000.000 invested capital and 5000 establishments the department could scarcely have had better guaran- ty, but the offer was rejected.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble" philosophical poor Job in the plenitude of his affiictions, aud the truth of his remark is brought home to humanity every day that we live. As an example, take this from a recent issue of an Oklahoma paper:
 About two weeks ago Judge Lewis, while taking a bath, backed up and made a rear-end sconnection with a red-hot been compelled to stand upt and eat his meals from a shelf. The accident has been a source of much pain to the Judge of his riding over to Tishomingo last Sunday. 10 see the ball game. seated on a pillow. While the game was in prog with a Tishomingo biuffer, a swift curve thrown by the pitcher caught him just two inches below and little to the right blow almost killed father and caused a discoloration and a badly bruised spot about the size, shape and color of a stove lid. The. editor accompanied the Judge on the trip, and on the way back to Madill the horse choked down in the middle of the Washita River and came near being drowned.
 The account is-lncomplete, for it fails to state whether the sorely tried Judge had the good fortune to get home or whether some other and greater misfor- tune left him stranded, a broken and hopeless wreck by the wayside. It would if the horse had run away and spilled the Judge fin yellow-jaeket's nest, or if lightning had struck him. If he got home with whole bones, he had cause for thanksgiving.

"But how can they catch mo end of suckers? Tell us that" urges The Queen City Courier. Daily 1t devolves on The Advertiser to instruct and enlighten it's less erudite brethren, and we do not com plain. because the enlightenment of man. kind is one of the missions of a great newspaper. The expression. mo end." dearly beloved. is thus defined by one of the latest Photographers: "A great deal; a great but indefinite amount or num- ber." There you have 1t from the very |fountain-head. When we said that women fish land catch no end of suckers" we
 used good colloquial English which should
 have needed no explanation, any more than if we had used the expression, "a great many suckers" Does The Courier comprehend? Has its editor ever been caught?
