TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1905.

The Springfield Republican says: ~rhe whirlwind of corruption which swept through the public life of the country following the Civil War was a theme of much discussion and moral izing for years. but it never obtained such force or dimensions as to embrace the indictment of as many as three Senators of the United States, addi- tional to many other public officials. The recent industrial prosperity is evil dently to leave full as broad a trail of public demoralization as did that of the period ending in Chedit Mobilier and the whiskey-ring scandals"

The Philadelphia Record says: 'Tt Is predicted in Wall Street that the railroads will issue $1,0OO, ,0O0,O 900 of bonds in the near future. This gives evidence of the belief in continued and increased prosperity. It Is also an as- surance that the great moneyed inter- ests of the country will do all in their power to maintain favorable financial conditions so that they can market their bonds"

Too NInnx to Remember.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 A gentleman about to move out of the city and wishing information in regard to help, called on a friend and said:
 You've been living In the suburbs SO long I suppose you've had consider able experience with servant girls?"
 Well yes" replied the other, Its got so that when my wife is interview ing an applicant now she always begins by asking: Were you ever employed by me beforeT 'If so, when and for how Iong7"

There is so much of the assumed air of superior order of being in the man who usually travels through the South on observation bent, that 1t Is refresh ing to find so much of heart and good sense as is to be found in an article in today's Advertiser. It is headed Thinks We'll of the South," and is the expression of Professor Sheath of Yale, through the columns of The New Haven Register. He recognizes that the South is giving liberally to the cause of edu- cation and to two races, although the whites furnish all the money. While, as he says, the South is not asking help. yet he calls upon the wealthy of his section to realize that there are avenues in which they can place money for educating white children.

Trying to keep up with the tele- graphic correspondents reports of bat ties is sometimes a confusing kind of business, as German statistician found. He kept a list of Russian and Japanese killed and wounded as the reports came in and the total footed up a little over ten millions. That was getting rid of them in a way that would soon depopulate both countries, and the queer part of it is that Japan lost nearly six millions of them. They can't have many soldiers left, or wouldn't if that statement were true. Of course it isn't true, but the result shows the uncertainty of war reports.

Great Sermon at St. Johns.

"A very able sermon was preached at St. Johns Episcopal Church last Sun day by Rev. Chas. Craik, Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville. It dealt in a practical way with matters that should be considered in every family and around every fireside. While beau tifully expressed there was no attempt at oratory and display, but l am sure that no one heard 1t who was not ben efited by 1t. He was particularly hap py in his treatment of the way in which spiritual obligations and church du- ties are set aside in order to plunge into the whirl and frivolities of the world. It was great sermon, and would be glad to hear 1t Again"

There was never a time when the lumber business of our section was in as prosperous condition as at present. said MT. John J. Flowers, one of the most substantial citizens of Montgom- cry, Ala. at the Arlington, says The Washington Post.
 ''The mills with which am connect cd are having enormous demand for all grades of lumber, and we are ship ping big orders to such Northern points as Buffalo and Boston. Just few years ago our stuff hardly got beyond the borders of the State. Prices, too, are exceedingly satisfactory, and on the highest grades, that Is to say, the lheart of pine, free of all blemishes, the profits are particularly heavy. But the pros perity of Alabama Is not confined to the lumbermen: it includes all branches of industry, the coal and iron opera tors, the farmers, merchants, and ev- erybody Idle money Is piled up in our banks to an extent never known In the past.
 This easy condition has made our people regard political happenings with complacency, if not indifference: The majority of us are Democrat, put we have made up our minds that the eoun- try Is safe, no matter which party Is in power. Some go to the length of thinking that 1t would be a good thing for the South if we had two strong white mems parties there, and that is apt to come about at no distant day As I view it, about all the South needs is to be let alone. The negro problem which worries a great many good peo-

 The farmers of the South have the solution of the problem in their own hands without resorting to arson They can arrange to hold back a consider from over-cropping themselves this year. If they will not adopt that plan, they will again find themselves in the same condition they now are, or worse.

The papers are constantly stating that MT. Neidrenghaus, who has been nominated by the Republicans for United States Senator from Missouri, will be the first man of that Party chosen from that State. Carl Schurz and John B. Henderson both represent ed Missouri in the Senate and were elected as Republicans. the last named in 1863 and the first in 1867. Charles R. Drake, the author of the infamous test oath laws of Missouri, was also a Republican Senator from 1867 to 1870, when he resigned to become Chief Jus tice of the Court of Claims at Wash ington. Another Republican Sehhtor from Missouri was B. Gratz Brown, who ran for vice-President with Gree ley in 1872. A statement to the effect that since the repeal of the disfranchis- ing laws of Reconstruction days. no Republican has been elected Senator from Missouri would be correct.

 Do the Proper Thing. Mobile Item.
 President Roosevelt says if Congress does not do it's full duty. according to his way of thinking during the regular session. he will call the body in ex- traordinary session next spring and see that they do it. It Is to be hoped that Congress may take cue from this and do the proper thing, and thereby save the country from the affiiction of an ex- tra session of a Republican Congress,
 Not a Dozen. Birmingham News.
 Perhaps not a dozen sensible farmers in the South even seriously entertained the proposition to burn their cotton. The idea was looked upon as abusrd. It evidently originated with some one who does not possess much practical sense. There is no good to be derived from a widespread discussion of the suggestion. Those who have much cot ton on their hands would sooner sell 1t at cents a pound than depend upon the proposition to burn 1t to get any thing like reasonable price.
 A Pleasant Sight. Greene County Democrat.
 A four-mule-wagon loaded with dressed hogs was a pleasant sight on the streets of Eutaw one day last week-the sight was especially pleas ing to all who had arrived at the com clusion that cotton was the only thing that would bring 'the ready money" in this sc4-s,n. The hogs, which were all heavy weights" were raised by MT. J. P. Harry on his plantation in the prairies south of Eutaw. The market value of the wagon load of hogs was almost double the same number or pounds of cotton.
