Promotion by merit cannot be always
acted on, so that frequently men of
little or no training and experience
are called to fill positions of response
bility vacated by better qualified Off
Gals. Even if the system of promo
ton by merit were always followed
there would have to be, at some point,
an inexperienced man appointed to
replace an experienced hand.
The purpose of great corporation

man who has nursed a grievance until
it maddens him may in an hour infict

OuInIne and the Tariff.

The death of William Weiehtman,
often known as the Quinine King, re-
calls the quinine tax. He left a for
tune of $50, 100000, the result in great
part of the ouinine tax He managed
to supply both the federal and con-
federate arnsies with quinine, although
the latter army had to be supplied sur
reptitiously. The price to either army
was held up to $500 or more in gold
per ounce, and the profits were enor-
nous
In 1879 Congressman Mckenzie,
democrat, became tired of the blood
tax, and he secured the passage of a
bill putting quinine on the free list.
1t went through as an Independent
bill in the interests of humanity. The
price Of quinine fell at once to 81
cents an ounce, where it has remained
ever since, and the three quinine mills
in this country are making money.
The Dingley tariff is stuffed with
similar robberies. Some of them are
even worse than the quinine steal,
and yet the republican party says the
sacred schedules must not be touched.
The story oil quinipe should be pub
lished in every part of the country.
1t is but one of them. 1t is by no
means the worst steal of the list.
The Dingley tariff is the vilest tariff
ever devised, containing to the square
inch more robberies of the many for
the benefit of the few than any ever
before laid, not excepting the tariffs
of the robber barons of the Rhine, or
those of the Mediterranean from
whence the word tariff" came The

dead, is the story of Dingleyism 1t is

We venture to say that, among the va
rious and vivid bursts of eloduence that
have been provoked by the St. Louis fair.
there are few If any that will take prece-
dence Of Governor Ferguson's impassioned
lament over the dead cities of the past:
Babylon has fallen; Tyre is known to-
day only in the romance of history; the
Nineveh of the Assyrians is no more; the
once mighty Memphis of the Egyptians
has been almost lost among the ruins Of
the Nile; Persepolis, the city of Darius.
the Persian, is an oriental ruin; the star
of Athens, that went down upon the fam
Gus field of Chaeronea, has never risen;
Carthage, the proud mother of Hannibal
and queen of the Mediterranean, has
never come forth from the ashes of
her vandal conquerors; Rome, Eternal
City of the Seven Hills. has not witnessed
a triumph nor has she heard the tramp
of victorious legions within her gates for
centuries"
Beautiful, beautiful indeed! And when
Governor Ferguson returns to Oklahoma.
and gets his second wind, will he not have
a word to say for Baalbec, and Pompefi,
and the buried cities of delectable Meso-
potamia and the Isthmus of Darien? We

Home Mission Work.

Il went out to the First Presbyterian
church today" remarked a man in the
lobby, land heard the pastor deliver a
very edifying sermon, which partook of
the nature Of a plea for home missions
In the course of his remarks I understood
him to say that the white natives of the
hills within the bounds Of the North Ala
bama presbytery were in greater need Of
help than any other class Of people in this
country
"Of course he meant educational and re-
ligious help. He did not question the pos
session of intelligence or energy on the
part Of these people; but he has evidently
discovered that they labor In darkness.
He meant to impress the truth that there
was an absence of church and school priv
heges among them. He meant that they
should be afforded Christian privileges
which will inculcate the beauty and dig
nifty of life and train the soul to perfect
sympathy with the designs OF the Gre
ator. He wants the church of the Living
God to impress upon these people the
solemn truth that life itself, however
humble its condition,is holy that every
moment has its duty ana responsibility.
He wants to enoble the humble field of
labor and brighten the way.

work to do in Alabama before crossing
over the seas, and trust the good work
will go on"

Remedies for Lynchinn.

Professor Cutler of Wellesley col
lege discusses lynching In the August
number of the Yale Review. He says
in substance that many statutes have
been passed in the various states in
creasing the power of sheriffs, and
their responsibilities; imposing heav-
Ter penalties upon sheriffs who do not
protect their prisoners; heavier penal
ties aga.a.s citizens who break into
jails or attack or hinder officers; new
provisions for the detection of lynch
ers, and statutes rendering the county
liable for damages to the representa-
tives Of person lynched. Justice
Brewer thinks the right of appeal
should be denied in criminal cases.
But Professor Cutler lacks faith in
statutes that have not a strong public
sentiment behind them. He admits
that the greater number of lynchings

The question how President Roosevelt
will get money for his ambitious schemes
of western hemisphere expansion and
further army and navy increases is far
from answered by the governments fig
ures of August imports.
These show an increase from 1902 of
some nine millions In value But the
revenues gain nothing, as will be seen
in this Classification:

The dutiable goods that got past the
Dingley tariff wall were actually worth
less last month than in either 1902 or
1903. And the same decline has been
noted for some months.
But expenditures mount daily. August
and July Showed a deficit of $24,0OO,0O0-
$1S,O00,00O of which was for increased
army and navy cost, although these two
items alone had In seven years risen from
$50, 100000 to >s217.0Oo,6oo
Mr.. Roosevelt promises If elected to go
on as he has done, still piling up vaster
and vaster war budgets.
But where will he get the money? VIII
he ask congress to reimpose the Spanish
war taxes-and to seek other new revenue
sources, since these alone would proba-
bly, not suffice? Or will he run the ma
ton IN debt for current" expenses?

1t is not the purpose to establish new
public houses, but only to acquire such
as are already established.
The capital at present amounts to $780,

The net profits of the public houses
in the United Kingdom last year are es-
timated at about 100000 o nearly $3.50

houses last year distributed to objects of

from $500 to 5000.
From all parts of the British isles where
trust houses exist come reports of less
disorder and drunkenness. decreased use
of alcoholics and general improvement
in the character of such resorts and of
their patrons
About twenty years ago the partners in
Guinness & Co. decided to offer their
business to the public. The shares were
subscribed for many times over, and af-
terward rose in value to something like
three times the issue price. The other
large breweries in the country were not
long in adopting the same policy. The d.
rectors found themselves with a large
margin Of capital on their hands, in ex-
cess Of what could be proftably employed
in the business proper. An outlet was
found in the purchase Of public houses
The competition between rival COM
panies to secure houses became acute.
and the prices of licensed houses were
forced up to inflated figures. The Crooked
Billet. fully licensed house in Newcastle
on-Tyne was put up at auction in 1896
The first bid was for s4S.665 and it was
knocked down for s76S01. The same house

been made.

The [ otton Market.

Peter Hellwege's cotton letter says:
The nervous undertone which was evil
dent last week as characterizing the state
OF the cotton market at that time has re-
suited in sharp and frequent fluctuations
during the past week. On Monday the
market opened lower, and before the de-
cline could be checked, December con-
tracts had sold as low as 9.SS. Leading
bull interests came to the support of the
market at around this level and assisted
by realizing on the part of conservative
shorts, brought about quick recovery
of values. The market advanced sharply
Tuesday on very bullish weekly wealth
er report and also on reports that a
leading New York operator who has
lately been on the bear side, was covering
his shorts. Another advance was estab-
lished Wednesday. when December con-
tracts sold as high as 10 45. Big bulls COM
menced to take profits at this level, and
the market took a downward turn, prices
gradually declining until Decembers sold
at 1920 on Friday morning Fresh buying
then set in. and the market has since
shown an advancing tendency.
Crop reports have been of a bulish
character, reporting deterioration In near
ly all sections of the cotton belt. The
general sentiment, guided by some prom
inent operators, is leaning towords the
bull side. The great restraining influence
on the minds of many who feel inclined
to buy cotton is that the weight of the
movement during the next two or three
months may have a depressing effect on
the market, no matter whether the crop
be large or small. BY waiting, they hope
to get in at lower level. On the other
hand, there are some who believe that
the worlds spot demand will be sufficient
to absorb the cotton. as 1t comes on the
market, and that the movement will be
restricted to some extent by holding
back for higher prices ON the part of the
planters. 1t is also claimed that export
ers have filled their engagements for Sep
TENDER shipments to lie other side, and
that the market is likely to feel the effect
of more liberal offerings from the coun-
try.
Opinions are very much mixed at pres
ent, and consequently business around
the rings is affected accordingly. How
ever. there is evidence that much interest
is conferred on cotton. which only awaits
a clearer reading of facts before commit
ments are assumed on either side.

Japan's General Plan.

Both armies are resting in the Far
East, stuck in the mud and overcome
by long and hard fighting Whatever
may be said in favor of Russia it
must be conceded that Japan has
maintained its superiority on land as
well as on the sea, and that she is
preparing to drive Russia out of Man
churia. She may be trying to force
Russia to Fight a decisive battle.
1t is plain that Japan is in no haste
to finish the war The indications are
that she desires to take not only Port
Arthur out Vladivostock, as well as to
occupy both Korea and Manchuria, be-
fore she is ready to treat for peace.
She simply does not desire to be dom
mated by Russia. She proposes TO
rid herself once for all OF all fears of
subjugation or national inferiority,
and she will not stop fighting until
this great desire is accomplished.
If the war lasts through another
year Russia may have to surrender
not only Korea and Manchuria, but
J also her Pacific provinces of Siberia
and this would perhaps upset the au
tocracy of that country by means of a
revolution at home.
Two facts seem to be we'll establish.
ed by the war thus far, namely, a
like number of Russians cannot whip
a like number of Japanese in the
present war, and enough Russians can
not be carried over a single track
railroad to overcome the Japanese.
Recovery of control of the sea would
change the situation, but this is ex-
ceedingly improbable, even with the
Ialtic fleet steaming eastward.
The war must go on, and there is
no nation that proposes to stay the
victorious Japanese. No nation Is
really in sympathy with the Russians,
who mingled euplicity with aggression
in the Far East. France holds Rus
sian bonds, but France cannot change
the course of the war. Germany will
keep clear of it. and Great Britain is
an ally of Japan. Tho sympathy of
the United States is almost wholly
anti-Russian. Japan will be left free
to complete her programme, and that
programme beyond a doubt means
that Russia must hereafter play Sec
ond fiddle in the Far East. Japan
intends to be the controlling power
in that quarter of the world and
those who predict change adverse to
Japan are expecting something that
circumstances do not favor
