and as the committee on rules report ed the resolution, 1t was adopted:
 .'Resolved, That each State be enti- tied. in the nomination to be made or candidate for the Vice ce-Presidency, 70 a number of votes equal to the number to which they will be entitled in the electoral college, under the new ap- portionment in voting for President and Vice. President, and that two-thirds of the whole number of votes in the con vention shall be necessary to constitute a choice.

There of 1860 and what they revealed or the essential weakness in the rule It is enough to say the rule is survival It has come down to the present timo and Is perpetuated in national conven- tions, though abandoned by every State organization in the Union. The Re- publicans will have none of 1t; the Democrats in the several States Will have none of 1t. Is not the occasion suspicious for the St. Louis conven- tiors to submit the question to a popu- lar vote of the Democrats of the coun- try? If the rule is ever abr9;ated 1t must be abrogated through the initia. tive of a general convention. And such a convention will never dare to throw 1t off without specific instruc- tions to that end.

AMERICAN PRODUCTS.

In the last issue of Bradstreets is an article on American Products Wanted in Germany. Part of this is of special interest to Alabama, particularly the heavily timbered sections. We quote:
 limited States Consul General Mason, Berlin, reports that among the Ameri- can products for which there is now a demand in Germany may be cited the following:
 and oak timber in Germany, and there will be found an active and permanent demand there for both under the fol- lowing conditions:
 Beech Is wanted especially for two purposes--as railway ties and as slaves and headings for butter tubs. For this purpose the wood should be knot-free and of the best quality. The oak timber specially in demand Is the clean, high quality in squared logs suitable to be sawed up in lumber of various aizes- and forms for the manufacture of furniture, especially office desks, file cases, book racks, etc, which are now fully adopted and very generally used in Germany.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

In a spech before the Alumni of the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. Ala, last week, Hon. W. H. Sanford deals if not altogether convinc-, ingly with the negro question. and pre- sents a picture of final solution that Is restful enough to be very attractive to every man who is interested in the subject at all
 The speaker dealt with the subject in three phases. what the negro gave and what he received in being forced into the country; what he should have and how he should be treated at the present and what the future holds out as final solution of the problem. Of the first he says:
 The negro gave to the white man wealth. position and influence and en- abled him to climb the heights of craftsmanship and learning. The white man brought the negro from a state or ignorance darker than his skin into civilization. The white man would have climbed without the negro. The negro without the white man must have forever remained in darkness. The second proposition was that: What the negro needs Is not political preferment He Is not fitted for 1t and | the Southern white man will not let | him have it. It is not social equality | that he needs. He Is of an inferior race, and wherever he attempts to rise | to the position in the social world oc- cupied by the white man. extermination | is almost sure to follow What ne
 does need is an opportunity to earn Tor himself and his family an honest lfveli- hood, and the means by which he car | higher life. ~Ie needs the enforce l ment of laws that will give him pro. lection to his property and allow te
 him the pursuit of happiness. Thi.
 every true Southern man will give. ant | we owe it to ourselves to build up sucf
 a sentiment throughout the land tha | will make the majesty of the law | glorious to the innocent and terrible t' the guilty.
 And the third. clothed in the beaut!
 of prospect and glory of realization
 was this:
 1 I do not know when the solution wil
 come; 1 do not pretend to know wha
 it will be, but some time in the dis tant future, when full confidence ha
 been restored between the sections, tn
 fifteenth amendment will be blotte
 from the constitution, the negro vii
 be removed from politics. and the
 will the negro and the Southern whit man build another South that in wealt |, and power will surpass the visions c the poets dream.

THE PERDlpAnIs CASE.

It might be wished in the first place mat the American gentleman held for ransom by a brigand in Morocco had name all of us know how to pro- nounce. It might be wished also. that ho had not practically expatriated him self. by building a palatial home in the suburbs of Tangier and living there continuously for a long time past. There would be far livelier sense of interest in his personal safety If we knew just how the family pronoupces she name and that he actually was a resident of the United States, as well as a citizen.
 These considerations have in fact nothing to do with the law of the case. Perdicaris is an American citizen and he is entitled to every consideration as such National pride commands this. It was the boast of the Roman that in any quarter of the known world. the one sentence "Civis Romanus sum-" in the mouth of a Ro- man citizen, meant respect if not aeference and certainly immunity from violence at the hands of barbarian. pa1merston on famous occasion bor- rowed the idea and declared that to he a British subject meant like dis ftnotion and honor wherever on earth that subject should choose to put his gnot Civis Americanus sum sounds inst as well as civis Britannicus sum ana the duty of our government to
