A Warning to Senator German.

Pensacola Journal.
 If Senator German, who is now ,sup- posed to be entertaining presidential as- pirations. expects to get the support of q single Southern State in the National Democratic Convention this year. he will have to make a material change in his position on the Panama canal.
 The Maryland man several weeks ago assumed an attitude of opposition to the canal which many public men and news papers now even go 30 far as to predict will put him out of the race entirely. no matter what course he may pursue here after However this may be, one thing is certain-if Senator German expects to re- ceive any support at all in the Southern
 his opposition to the canal, even if he
 does not support it.
 Whatever moral grounds may be taken
 against the method by which the Panama republic was hurried into existence and even more hurriedly rec 1gnized by the United States, the fact remains that 1t iG now regularly constituted government l recognized not only by this nation but by | Great Britain. as well. and if the United
 states does not now build the canal Eng and will have the opportunity of secur.

The Late General Longstreet.

Philadelphia Record.
 Gen. James LonRstreet. who died al Gainesville. Ga, on Saturday last agvd S4 years, deservedly ranked among the worlds greatest soldiers. He was one of the many officers in the old United States Army who hurried home from the plains at the outbreak of the civil war and of. fered their services to the part of tne country with which they were sectionally identified. Hard-headed, clear-brained cumulative by nature. Longstreet steadily rose in the Confederate service, growing more and more self-poised and indAuend.

'I believe" remarked an observant cit- izen, "that more liquors are sold to mil nors in Montgomery than any other city its size in this country. Saloon keepers of Montgomery appear to be heartless as well as reckless in their disregard of the stringent laws prohibiting the sale of ln- toxicants to children"
 Any boy" he continued, mo matter how youthful his appearance may walk into a saloon and order and drink whis- key just like the most hardened old toper. Go into any down town saloon in the evening and you will find groups of young boys drinking and carousing. The police certainly are familiar with these things and it ought to be stopped.

Protection at Theatres.

''It is very probable" said a Montgom- cry Alderman. that at the next meeting of the City Council the Fire Committee will present an ordinance whose purpose will be to protect audiences at theatres from fires or panics."
 T think" he continued, "that we can pass an ordinance which will give the necessary protection without involving much inconvenience and expense to our two theatres. From a casual observation I would say that the shed over the side walk on both sides of the Montgomery Theatre, if properly supported, would af- ford protection for persons on the stage floor Fire escapes should be provided for the balcony and gallery circles. This theatre has the advantage of being on a corner, but it has not the advantage Of being on the ground floor have not ex- amined the fire apparatus at McDonalds s Theatre. which is in the middle of a block. Both theatres will be visited by members of the Fire Committee before the Council meets again.
