is thus reported:
 And if Booker interferes in this thing there is way of stopping him. down here when 1t becomes necessary.
 The first utterance, an implied wish that the President and Booker Wash ington had been blown up'by an an- archist's bomb. may have been intend- cd as l1umor, but if so, it was very foolish fun. It sounds distinctly an- archistic, and must have grated on the ear of every man of common sense present. Here in Montgomery certain ly good men are shaking their heads over 1t, and are amazed that a Demo- cratic nominee for Congress uttered it. Mir. Hefin has never been noted for wisdom. but that break was not to have been expected even of him.
 His other expression quoted Is noth- ing like so outrageous, built was very wrong. He clearly implied an inten- ton at least to buIldoze Booker Wash ington. and boasted that it was the habit of the white people of Alabama in dealing with negroes to run over them in any way necessary. This Is unfortunately true in, some cases, but Mr. Hefiin is not refecting the attitude of the dominant element of the whites of this State when he makes such dec- larations.
 Such foolish utterances as these are calculated to do great harm. In the first place, they tend to in- flame the passions of small minor ity of our white people. who are al- ready very impatient with the absurd course of the President on the negro question and with the blunders into which he has betrayed Booker Wash fngton. Guiteaus and Czolgoizs are created by just such talk as MT. lief lin's., There may not one go out from Alabama, but if many men in the South in positions of leadership like Mir. Hefin talked as he does. some crank would very probably rise up in the South to give expression to such wishes.
 In the second place, such utterances are sure to be quoted in the campaign in the North and West. much to the discredit of Alabama Democracy and to the detriment of the national ticket. If such things had been said in New York State. there would have been as much capital made out of them by the Republicans as by the Democrats out of the famous Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" utterance' of the Rev. Bur chard in 1884. The Democrats have the advantage of the Republicans in this campaign on the race issue, and 1t is to be hoped that the sympathy of the North can be held on that line.
 It Is on these accounts that The Ad- vertiser promptly condemns Mir. lief lin's folly, and protests that the sane. fair. dominant majority Of Alabama Democrats have no patience whatever with his breaks.

There Is only one contest for Con gress in Alabama that is attracting much attention and af,ording much news. That is the race in the Fifth District between Mir. Hefiin. the Demo- cratic nominee. and MT. Walker, the Repubiican-P -Populite nominee.
 Unfortunately it is making too much news. and news of sort that is not likely to be of any credit or benefit to the State, or the Democratic Party. Of course, Mir. Hefin will be elected: the Democrats are overwhelming in their majority in that District. and they will stand by the nominee of the Party practically to a man. no matter how much many of them may realize now that a blunder was made in his nomi- nation. And they will be wise to do so because the next House may be very close, and MT. Hefin's vote may be badly needed on party measures.
 This statement of the situation is preliminary to criticism of MT. lief lin and protest that The Advertiser feels bound to make in justice to the whole Party in. ,the State. In his speech at Tuskegee on Monday he is thus reported by stan correspondent of this paper:
 In contemptuously describing the dinner at which President Roosevelt and Booker Washington sat down to- .gether, he said: There they sat. Roosevelt and Booker and if some CzoIgos8 or one of his kind had thrown bomb under the table. no great harm would have been done the coun- try"

PRESIDENT ORDERS AN INVESTIGATION

Washington. Dec. 5.-Seyeral weeks
mpaign-complaints were made to
the president and TO the postmaster
general by several members of con-
gress who were candidates for re-elec-
tion that they were being made the
victims of systematic plan on the
part Of the Rural Letter Carriers as
sociation to defeat them unless they
should accede to certain demands of
the association. One of these de-
mands was that the carriers should
have an increase of pay. A special
effort was made by members of the
association to embarrass Representa-
tive Overstreet of Indiana, chairman
tee of the house, because, it is alleged,
he had not done for the rural carriers
what they thought he ought TO have
done. President Cunningham of the
association is said to have been one
of those who made demands upon can
didates for congress, of course, on be-
half of the members of the association.
The complaints filed with the presi-
dent and the postmaster general men
toned President Cunningham as one
of those responsible for the attempted
"holdup," as it was termed by the vic
Tins.
BY direction of the president an in
vestigation of the matter was insti-
tuted by the postmaster general. 1t
has been in progress for two or three
weeks and the intimation is given
that, thus far, it tends to substantiate
the charges made by representatives
in congress- What the result OF the
investigation may be is not disclosed,
but the likelihood is that If the charges
are ntained as now is expected,
there will be a general overhauling VI

added one or more new and sensational
features TO the case. Now, with her
affairs practically taken out OF her
hands through the appointment OF a

that a solution of the mystery in the
affair cannot be long deferred. AT the
same tine rumor continues TO be per.
sistently busy and all sorts OF reports
are rife. One Of the stories was that

claim held by a fashionable dress

81 900, which had been given in part
payment of the account, had gone To
protest, it was said, and when this
was learned the creditor at once began
arrangements to secure the claim by
filing an attachment. That the pa

was said to be due only TO the fact
that the creditors attorney was not
successful In finding a magistrate who
could Issue the necessary writ
1t is possible that the settlement OF
Herbert ID. Newton's claim which, II
was announced a few days ago. had
been satisfactorily arranged. may en-
counter an obstacle in the Cleveland

The writ of attachment against Mrs.
Chadwick's personal property was
served upon the clerk and manager OF

was sufficient TO act as service and
would prevent Mrs. Chadwick from

that Asia should be for the Asiatics,
that no European power has rights in

Japanese, who are laying the founda-
