The luxury in which some New Workers member of well-known and wealthy family applied to the courts 20 have his allowance made $50,000. declaring that he could not live up to the style ln which hs was brought up. This Is not single in stances, either, of what it costs to live in state in Gotham. A blare of romance has always been attached to the luxurious living of royalty of Europe, but 1t is said that there Is scarcely member of all the royal families. or even a monarch, wl1 expends $5O,0O0 a year in personal extrav- agance. Wealthy New Workers of a couple of decades ago would have called a man who spent $50,0Oa year on him looked upon as a member of the smart set a gentleman and a credit to the city. Social economists call him benefit to the community in which he lives. for he keeps money in circulation.

foreign exchange bought and sold and the amount of gold in coin bullion that has crossed and recrossed the Att lantic and the Pacific within . given period. In the long run these transac- tions equalize one another and each country trading with another is benefited, is richer, is better off unless It's mer- chants are ignorant how to drive a bar gain. A large excess of exports over imports generally means nothing more than that an exporting country Is paying debts contracted either in the purchase of goods at some earlier time, or in bor- rowing on bonds placed in foreign mar kets. To determine precisely for any one year whether the balance of trade is favorable or unfavorable is according ly impossible. Too many obscure ele- ments enter into the probelm. The United States with all its wealth is a great borrower. This Is healthy sign as showing the great opportunities re- maining here for enlarging or develop ing industries and while large excess of exports usually means we are paying interest due with the goods, we may at least fiatter ourselves that the borrowed money Is being used in ten thousand channels of trade in the United States and adding daily to our output and so to the sum total of our wealth. But to strike a balance. that is real balance.
 for one year, or two or three is not so easy as the two Senators see to think.

LET us CAM.

"A cannery ought to be located in Annlston," declares The Hot Blast. Of course 1t ought. and Anniston is but one of many towns in Alabama where there should be canneries. The prospects are now favorable for good fruit crop this year, and in that case it would proba- bly, be no exaggeration to say that at tically wasted. Then all the people In and around these towns will continue to buy canned friut put up in some dis tant State where conditions are not more favorable for such industries than they are in Alabama.
 Cans may be purchased or made in Montgomery, for example. as cheaply as in other cities, and the labor required in canning fruits can be had here as well as elsewhere. The amount of fruit, wild or cultivated. that goes to waste annually would add many thousands of dollars to the aggregate wealth of our people. We argue for the retention of this money in Alabama on precisely the same grounds and for the same reasons that we advocate the manufacture of our own raw cotton in our own mills. We have been sending our cotton to New England to be manufactured and return ed to us at double the cost. We have sent millions of feet of timber and Ium- Der to other States and bought it back in the shape of finished products.
 All this is a cut-throat policy, but our people are seeing the light in these respect and are doing better. In the case of fruits and vegetables we do even worse, for we do not even sell them to others to be saved for us. On a small scale it is very much as if we in Ala bama should allow our cotton to rot in the fields and then buy our cotton goods from Europe. or from New England. We can can, and we ought to can, and much of the money that goes for canned goods ought to go into the pockets of our own people That is seif-preservation and sound business policy, as well, for those who look out for themselves and their own interests are the ones who get along best in this world We never buy a can of fruit or vegetables, with a far-away label on it, that we do not feel as though we are an accessory to robbery of our own people who should be getting both the value of the raw product and the profit for putting 1t up. The Hot Bias, can do a good work by urging the estab. lishment of cannery in Anniston, and other newspapers should endorse the sen. tinent and extend it.

A Fiehtin0 Parso1,.

Rev. Howard Fugate, the fighting par son of Harveytown, near Huntington, w.
 Va, has served practical notice on his community that those who attend services in his United Baptist Church must behave
 themelves. He was preaching there the other evening. when two men in back seat began a whispered argument regard- ing politics. The talk disturbed other per- sons nearby and they protested. This precipitated a fstic row, which had been in progress but a few moments when the preacher rushed forward and took hand. He weighs 190 pounds and at every swing of his massive fist a combatant went down and out. In less than two minutes he had quelled the fuss. Then he put half a dozen rioters out of the church and re- though he is a man of peace there are circumstances under which a show of muscular Christianity becomes necessary.

ous. He should have known the facts. however, without investigation.
 The editor of The News is Democrat
 In 1Sg6 and 1900 he did not endorse the Democratic platform, but he voted the Democratic ticket from Mir. Bryan down. As suggested by The Times, he took his medicine, and. incidentally. 1t may be added, is willing to take his medicine again.
 The time has come when, in the opin- fen of the editor of Tho News. Demo ,rats can an1 ought to get together. This end cannot be attained so long as there are Cleveland Democrats and Bryan Demo crats The need of the hour is for plain Democrats, without any Qualinca ation. The Democratic party is bigger than MT. Cleveland and Mir. Bryan put together and neither of them should be consiaered cons @ ination, although the support or ootn should be welcCred.
 The editor of The News Is opposed to the reaffirmation of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms. Let us have q st Louis platform with the issues of the day dealt with according to Democratic doctrine.
 Let us have harmony Let us bury the
 old differences and drop the old ques- tions which caused bitterness and dissen- | tion. Stop recrlminating. Let there be
 no prescription of Democrats by Demo- crate.
 Let us have a platform that all Demo. | crats can stand on and a ticket that all Democrats can vote for. In other words, let us have a safe man and a conserva- | tive platform The personnel of the del- egation to the next Democratic conven- | ton from Alabama really is of compara- lively little importance. The overshad- owing question at the present time Is
 how the Democrats can get together and
 face with an undivided Front an enemy
 always united.
 | The editor of The News has thus ex-
 pressed his personal position because 1 The Selma Times has made a charge
 without a particle of foundation. but
 one which might find credence among
 those who have not been in position to keep posted.

The Sweep of the Meteor.

Editor The Advertiser
 l greatly appreciate your interest in the matter of the meteor. It Is really a point of considerable interest, particular iy in defining the area illuminated by this vast body. I have an interesting letter from DF. D. L.. Wilkinson of MontevallO Ala, who writes that from that point 'the areolite made the brightest, widest, lame. was almost surprised not to feel the shock as apparently the meteor went down not so far away" A student of the Alabama Conference Female Col- lege at Tuskegee. writes to the effect that "the body seemed 8 ball of fire as large as a barrel head and about the size and color of the rising sun and as in all hind the edge of the horizon.

Queer Bunch of Statesmen.

The Senators and Representatives who attended the Hanna funeral in Cleveland were in a more or less of blue funk for some time after their train left on the re- turn trip to Washington. Just before they started four rough looking men came on board. sat down in the dining car and ordered big meals. Some joker hinted that they were train holdup men, and consternation spread among the solOns, not one of whom had a weapon of any kind In response to questions u.e stran- gers said they were detectives, but this was not generally credited, and peace was an unknown quantity until they Jeff the trai nat Alliance.

 Mr. Bryan calls the old-time Democrats "reorganizers" and George Fred Williams calls them "reactionaries. ." The two words may mean the same thing to the two men. and neither is of the slightest consequence. By whatever name they may be called they are the salt of the Democracy and they propose to save the Party unless it is spoiled beyond all pos sibility of saving. The determination of Williams to commit Massachusetts to Hearst is not a surprise He and his sort committed 1t to Bryan in 1898 and lost about 5000 Democratic votes by the operation. That is an experience which will be repeated if Hearst or Bryan Is the candidate, but such result would not set George Fred back in the least. Hes used to it.

Ine bTmlhBhdh Aeu6oi 10 ooAS '" i muddled over that seeding question. and argues this way:
 South did secede with all the formality with which it's States had entered the Union. The Northern States, then the government, proclaimed that the States had not seeded and could not secede That was the issue. and the United States held that the Southern States were in re- bellion and not in secession. That Is history. After the war ended the United States reversed itself and declared the States would have to be reconstructed and again admitted. This was done.
 So there we are. We seeded, but fought the war on that very issue and lost 1t, and therefore did not secede. The government after winning on the issue that we did not and could not secede, declared that we had seeded and recon structed the States. If The Advertiser can untangle it more clearly 1t has the floor.
 We fail to see how The Ledger has bet tered its position any. The word secede Is from the Latin secedo, ito withdraw; to go apart" etc. The Southern States certainly withdrew from the Union, actually and completely. The act of secession was complete in every respect. The fact that they were defeated has nothing to do with it, but the further fact that the States. each for itself. were required to rejoin the Union, and that they were admitted as separate States. is proof enough that secession was an ac- complished fact. We know that large majority of the Northern people, and some Southern ones, held that there could be no such thing as the secession of one or moro States from the Union. but theories do not alter facts. Even if the Federal Government itself adopted diverse positions on the question it makes no difference. The States seeded and the government forced them back, and each act was complete. There is no tangle about 1t.

tery of that frog and poultry tariff de- cision. As we understand 1t, if the frogs legs are not put down as dressed poultry" they must be scheduled as ''un- manufactured articles" and that wouldn't do at all. Not even the hair splitting ingenuity of our tariff bosses could claim that the legs of bull-frog are unmanufactured, could they? Hence, they must be dressed poultry. for there was no other place for them. That ac- counts for the whole business.

Willing to Accept the Vice Presiden-

 Washington Special to Chicago Record
 Herald.
 Tn all probability the Republican PresI- dential ticket for 1904 will read: "Roose- welt and Fairbanks
 It is widely believed in administration and Congressional circles that Senator Fairbanks will be nominated for Vice President While the Senator cannot be regarded as a candidate in the sense that he will seek the nomination, 1t Is under stood among his intimate friends that he will permit the Indiana Republicans to go ahead and present his name to the convention at Chicago. Many believe this is equivalent to a nomination, as Indiana will indorse and push the can didacy of It's senior Senator enthusiasti- cally. and Republicans from other parts of the country apear to be quite willing that Indiana and Mr. Fairbanks should have the honor.
