ELEVN MILLIONS INVESTED IN
 NEW INDUSTRIES.

In the campaign for the Presidency of the Railroad Commission of Alabama, we hear the vail of the calamity howler. We are told by one of the candidates that Alabama IS in a bad way; that her sis- ter States have outstripped her in the race for commercial supremacy, and thls candidate would lead us to believe that all these alleged deplorable conditions have been brought about by unjust ex- actions on the part of the railroads of our State. We are constrained to take d different view of the matter. We be- lieve that Alabama is making more rapid strides than any other Southern State toward supremacy. and an examination of all available statistics will show this to he the fact
 We are convinced also that our rail roads have done more than any other agency to bring about the development which exists. These great arteries of commerce are at all times earnestly, vigorously and intelligently working to build Up the waste places of the State. A complete answer to this anti-railroad warfare is found in the report of the Industrial and Immigration Department of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad system for the year 1903. which has just been Gled.
 Ali Alabamians who have read the sy- nopsis of this report which has recently been published, should be gratihed at the showing made for Alabama. The report of Mir. G. A. Park, who is at the head of that Department of the L. and N system, shows that during the year 1a3 two hundred and sixty-six C266) indus tries with a total capital stock of S2i, l5S, 800 were established on the entire l.. and N. system. But 1t Is interesting 70 note that of these 26S industries, eighty eight (SS) with a capital stock of Si0.- STO, 500, were established at points on the l.. and N. Railroad in Alabama. Thu. 1t will be seen that one-third of the en tire number of industries established a points along the entire l.. and 1' system were located at points on tha road in Alabama, and that the capita represented in the industries located ol that line in Alabama amounted to 50 c. cent. of the entire capital stock of al the new industries located on the entl: L. and N. system. This report furthe shows that five hundred and eighty-se vcl GSD families consisting of one thousa ( eight hundred and ninety-six d,S90 pel

 sons. located during tho year named, s.t points in Alabama along the line. oe the L. and N. Railroad. this boing fully two-thirds of the entire number locating at all points on the l.. and N. system. Alabama takes the lead of all the States touched by the L. and N. system in tho establishment of new cotton and woolen industries. wood working pianss. ice and cold storage plants. iron and stee, plants. fertilizer factories. brick and tile plants, canning and preserving fas- tories. agricultural implement factories. lime kiins ana plaster works and n,.s- celianeous industries. These figures are even more significant when the fact ts taken into consideration that Alabama $ comparison is made against not merely the other Southern States. but against the States of Illinois and Indiana. It IS to be deprecated that a campaign fer the ofifce of President of the Railroad Commission should be waged along lines calculated to arouse tho prejudices Of the people against these most important industrial agencies--the railroads of our Ekase.

 Yesterday Senators Hale and Frye, of Maine. completed thirty-three years of service in the Congress of the United States. MT. Hale entered the House of Representatives March 4, 1889, and was followed by Mir. Frye two years later. Mir. Hale, however, was not a member of the Forty-sixth Congress, while Mir. Fryes services have been continuous in one House or the other Mir. Hale en- tered the Senate March 4. 1881. as the successor of Hannibal Hamlin. Mir. Frye took his seat in the Senate March IS. 1881, fourteen days later than Mir. Hales entrance, though he had fourteen days more service in the House than his colleague, which gives each thirty-three years of service

Disclosures at Smoot Hearing Cause
 Sensation in Utah. Salt Lake Special
 The testimony given today by President Smith, head of the Mormon Church, be- fore the Senate Committe astounded both Mormons and gentlles. For years the pol- icy of the Mormon Church has been one of secrecy, and President Smiths action in boldly stating that not only himself but the rest of the church officials are living in open defiance of the law has sn amazed the members of the Mormon faith that their tongues are almost para: lyzed.
 The official organ of the Mormon Church praises President Smith and savaRely at tacks the anti-Smoot people. It accuses Attorney Tayler of trying to, go beneath the bed clothing of Mormon homeS." and denounces him for ''prying into the af- fairs of President Smith" and his fellow. polygamists.
 It Is known here that Smith was com pellcd to make hIE confession because ha had knowledge that the anti-Smoot people had a clear case against him and other church officials. There was noth- ing else for him to do but make a com plete confession

Neither Bryan Nor Hearst.

Keep up the fight against Bryan and Hearst. The first is trying to disrupt the Party for two reasons; first, for pe- cuniary gain; second. for revenge be- cause he is repudiated by the Demo- cratic Party.
 Hearst is forcing himself as a candi- date for personal ambition. Good De,I, ocrats do not care to invest in either Both men are to all intents Fopulists. and no good Democrat can vote for eith- CT of them. If the Southern Press VII unite on Olney or Parker with a good man from the West or South for Vice President, and urge 1t, New York wifi be influenced by their choice. If the South had stood by Hill eight years ago we would have saved millions and es- capped the Spanish war, and the present ble involve us in another war to perpet- uate his reign.

A CALUMET OFFICIAL
 VIEWS COPPER HOPEFULLY

A Calumet & Hecla official talked rather freely with Boston core spondent the ether day concerning the copper market. And there are really no better informed people in trade circles regarding the actual con. dtiOns of the metal situation than these same Calumet X lIecla officials, A measurement of the market om this source is always to be counted conservative and it also takes into ac. count condition as they actually are without reference to speculative influ. ence.
 The gentleman in question practic- ally asserted that his company was still getting good demand for it's copper that it was selling the same at better than l3l cents and that there was no reason whatever why it should cut its price.
 He further remarked that he saw nc signs of change in the general situa. tion. The temporary lull in business is not, as he views it, far reaching. II may cover portion of the United States, but it IS to be remembered that business throughout the world generally is still running at high pres sure. In Germany in particular busi ness conditions are holding up n good shape. Two years ago every thing in that country was badly depressed, but now the German people are enjoying one of the best business eras in their history, and the demand for copper for use there is still oD a very satis factory scale. So long as these condi tions continue there is little to be ap prehended regarding the future,

glory.
The lights will be fifty.candle power
and enclosed In air and water.tight re-
ccptables. Spectators will be able TO
see all kinds OF fish swimming about
In the shallow water. This submarine
Illumination will also give the effect
OF dancing flames Of fire at distance

VICTIM IDENTIFIED.
Sister In California Believes Mrs. Rou.
ton Was Murdered.

Denver, Dec. 27.-The News this
morning says: Bessie Bouton, believed
to be the young woman who was found
on Cutler mountain with bullet in
her brain and her face burned beyond
recognition, was, with her alleged
paramour. Milton Franklin, guest at
the Albany hotel from May 2nd to
July 18th. This was established by the
hotel register last evening.
The couple registered as G. Bouton
and wife, but it is believed Franklin
took the name of the woman, who had
been married to Bouton in Syracuse
and separated from him four years
ago. The man at the Albany was q
gambler. Special dispatches to the
News from Syracuse. New York, and
Santa Barbara, California. give many
additional facts, all OF which seem to
corroborate the belief that Bessie Bou-
ton was the victim.
Mrs. Charles Nelson Of Santa Bar.
bara, where Bessie Bouton and Frank.
lin visited. says she received a letter
six weeks ago from her sister. saying
she had quarreled with Franklin, and
the next heard of Bessie Bouton was
when she read descriptions of the
Cutler mountain victim.

Inaugural Ball Contention.

An objection of Mr.. Mann Of Illinois
to unanimous consent to take up the
inaugural resolution in the House OF
Representatives sent the whole mat.
ter over until after the holidays. Mr..
Morrell of Pennsylvania, on behalf Of
the committee on the District OF Co
lumbia, was directed to move the pass
age OF the Senate resolution which,
among other things, provides for hold
ing the inaugural ball in the pension
building, as heretofore.
Mr.. Underwood opposed considera-
ton Of the resolution at this time
when, he said, quorum Of the House
was not present, and called attention
to the promise made four years ago
that the people of Washington would
construct place for holding inaug.
ural balls.
Asked by Mr.. Mann (Iliinsis) why
the committee had switched" first
from the congressional library, then
TO the capitol and now to the pension
building. Mr.. Morrell said It was be
cause of the evident disposition Of tho
House TO hold the inaugural ball In
the pension building.
The resolution was criticised by
Mr.. Mann because he said It permitted
the charging OF excessive prices for
cabs and carriages. and he thought
there should be a quorum present to
consider the other features OF the bill.
He objected TO a motion for unani
nous consent to take the resolution
up and II accordingly goes over until
after the holidays.
