BUILDING OPERATIONS sToPp,vD

The Advertiser has from time to time called attention to the damaging effect on building operations in New and other labor disturbances. A re- cent article in The New York Times states that during the months of De- cember and January just passed there were filed plans and specifications for buildings amounting to the large sum lars in Manhattan. Brooklyn and the Bronx. This shows the possibilities for labor and material men, but" The Times adds. cit is quite safe to predict that while the relation of the unions to the local association of employers re- mains what 1t now is, and especially until artificial restrictions are removed and freedom of competition for labor and materials is substituted, no im- portant building operations which can possibly be postponed will be under taken. The risk incurred by capital is greater than 1t is warranted in assum- ing. This is especially true of office buildings and high-class structures. No doubt there will be good deal of &C., tivity in the erection of flats and tene- ments of the kind described in the trade as thrown together" largely in the vacant areas of Brooklyn and the Bronx, and of these by far the larger part are likely to be secured by con- tractors outside the Alliance and de- pending upon such of its locked-out or striking mechanics as can be picked .up."
 This can hardly be called a satisfac- tory condition of affairs. There are re- ported to be many thousands of idle working men in and about New York who have little prospect of work while present conditions obtain. Those who

nn srrs rnE POINT.

A Republican of Missouri writing to The Kansas City Star gives his party brethren some hints anent the senato- rial situation in that State. The writer sees that if the present session of the Legislature adjourns without making a choice it will mean that Missouri will have but one Senator during the next two years, because 1t is hardly to be supposed that Governor Folk would call an extra session merely to elect a Sem ator. Then, when the campaign of 1906 comes on the issue would be "Cockrell or no Cockrell," and the writer thinks everybody knows what that means 1t would be cockrell. and goodbye to the Republican strength in Missouri. On that straight issue Democrats in every county---candidates for the Leg islature and for county ohices down to constable-would hang on to that fine old statesmar's coattails, and he would full nearly every one of them into office."
 without saying whether in our opin-
 
 cockreII, we think it perfectly safe to predict the defeat of the Republicans in the event mentioned. The RepublI- cans in 1906 will not have Roosevelt to pull them through and help them to control the Legislature as they did last year. On the other hand, they would be handicapped by the fact that they had frittered away an entire ses- sion of the Legislature in fActional strife. when they might have united their forces and elected Senator.
 These are two influences which will practically remove all doubt from the next campaign if no Senator shall be elected at the present session. By ad- herring to Niedrlnghaus, who is really an unfit man for the position. the Re- publicans in the Legislature are out ting their own throats. They control that body on joint ballot and eonld elect a Senator whenever they choose to unite and vote for a good man-if they have one of that kind. The one that the majority Is sticking to can not possibly be elected, according to present indications, and 1t is difficult to see why they stick to him except on the theory that they are paid for 1t. The Democrats ought not to com plain, however. for the way things are going they will get a Senator two years hence.

ABurns of BurnsvIIIe."

Captain John Burns-'Burns of Burnsville' in Montgomery attend- ing the convention of cotton growers and giving his associates the benefit of his saRe-like advice.
 Burnsville Is precinct of Dallas County known to State fame as the home of the distinguished citizen from whom 1t takes It's name.
 Burns has taken prominent part in the public life of Alabama. As a mem Der of the Legislature, in which he has served probably a half dozen terms, as a delegate to Democratic conventions, and as q figure in other assemblies, Captain Burns has invariably and uHl-. faltefingly stood for the best interest of the white people of the State.
 Democratic conventions and gather ings of the Confederate Veterans ap- peal to Captain Burns and when these bodies are organized a lusty voice usually responds when the name of Burns of BurnsviIIe" is called
 It is quite the natural thing that such a character should take an active interest In the movement to better the condition of the southern cotton Captain Burns has a wide circle of friends in Montgomery and he was greeted cordially on the streets yes terday.

COTTON srATEs AssocIATIoN.

The men who raise cotton are the ones primarily interested in the move 'ment to so adjust their farming oper- ations as to secure good prices for fu- ture crops. Judging by the conven- tions held in all the cotton States yes- terday there Is deep seated determi- nation to arrive at practical results before the time for planting arrives.
 The meeting for Alabama farmers was well attended, representatives be- ing present from nearly every county in the State. The fun proceedings will be found fin another part of today's Ad- vertiser
 It must be the conclusion of every sensible person that another crop equal to Che one of 1904 will be harmful to the best interests of the entire coun- try. It would mean lower prices even than now prevail It is a question whether or not as many as ten millions of bales, added to the quantity of this crop. which 1t Is in contemplation to keep off the market, will not produce lower prices than prevailed at the opening of the present cotton season.
 It is of course too early to attempt formation of opinion as to reduction of acreage. While the men who have met in local. county and State meetings are only small part of the cotton plant ing interest. yet their influence on their friends and nefEhbars is bound to be great. If. the intention to reduce 25 per cent is carried into effect then the question of a smaller crop is solved, and the increase in price for what Is marketed ought to follow.
 There is one element in crop making about which a pretty fair opinion can be expressed. and that is the undoubted diminution in the amount of fertilizers sold. Most of our State exchanges re- port this to be the case and there can be no doubt of the fact that in certain portions of the cotton region of the South fertllizing Is great promoter of yield
 The farmers are in better condition than they. have been for many years. Information comes to The Advertiser from q very reliable source that very few of them. have called on the banks for loans, while nearly all of them have someseotton which has never been sent to market. and many of them have hold ings in the warehouses over the State.

~LONG LIVE wAsHINGTON~

Everybody's Magazine for March.
 Both of Washington's inaugurations were dignifed and simple. On the first occasion washington's own desire was for as little display as possible, but g. grateful and loving people set his wishes aside and turned what he had meant to be 8 quiet journey from Mount Vernon to New York into a trl- umphal march.
 General Washington expressed his desire that the oath be administered to him in private. but he was overruIed ing1y on April 30, 1Ts9, Washington stepped out upon the balcony of the Federal building, at the corner of Broad and Wall Streets. We are told that he was dressed in a suit of dark brown broadcloth, white silk stockings silver buckles to his shoes, a steel hilted dress sword at his side, his hair powdered and gathered in a bag. It ts further of interest that his clothing was woven and made on the looms at Mount Vernon under the watchful eye of his wife
 An eyewitness reports that Wash inRton's face was grave almost to sad ness, and that his voice was scarcely audible when, after the oath had been administered, he bowed. kissed the Bi- bio and said in deeply solemn tonei T swear, so help me God!"
 Chancellor Livingston, turning to the crowd, waved his hand and cried: Long live George Washington. Presi- dent of the United States!' The :ry was taken up and went rolling across the harbor and out into the country The artillery roared out It's salute and the bells of the city gave tongue to the words.
 Livlngston's method of announcing to the people the fact that the oath had been taken was severely criticised as being too much after the manner of the monarchical shout of Long live the King!" and has never since been repeated, but in the main features the present forms of inauguration are not found to dtffer widely from those set by Washington.

SENATOR l1oRQAN.

Pays a Tribute to Late Senator Quay.
 The most notable addresses delivered in the Senate Saturday in memory of the late Senator Quay by political opponents were those of Senator Nor gan, of Alabama, and Senator Daniel Quay's official life in which he opposed the famous Force Bill, was eloquently alluded to.
 Senator Morgan said;
 I feel bound on duty to his memory as a Southern Senator to refer to such interpretation for the sake of justice and peace, and not to win applause, tude of the oeople of the South. refer to the measure known as the Force Bill" which came over from the House and was discussed at great length and with bitterness in the Sem ate. have heard that the distin- guished author of that measure is satisfied that it was a mistaken policy else I would not refer to it over the tomb of Matthew Stanley Quay, that needs peace and rest for the nurture of the immortelles that will surely grow upon 1t. Mir. Quay at the criti- cal moment, informed us of his pur- pose to displace that bill by a vote to take up another measure, and it was done.
 No deeper signs of relief ever came from human hearts than were given by millions of people in gratitude to God for a great deliverance that was moved by this action of a quiet, deter mined and generous man, who sought no. reward or. praise for simple pie. No heart in the South that is con- scious of these facts will ever be em- bittered against the memory of Mat thew Stanley Quay.

 This suggestion is so ludicrous that It would be painting the lily" to di- mittee earnestly protests against the repeal of the law, contending that while 1t is of greater service to the country in times of prosperity 1t will De of even greater service in times of depression and business diversity. Nobody appeared before the committee to urge the passage of the Bill for repeal. nor were any petitions pre- scented. And yet the majority cooly reports in favor of repeating law specifically favored by the constitu- tion and which has received the in- dorsement of the National Bank of Trade. the American Bar Association the National Association of Credit Men and the numerous merchants associa- ttons at all the great centres of trade throughout the country.

 Death in Night.
 No comment is needed on the follow. ing letter It tells of fearful expert. snces that have fortunately been over. come:
 Dear Sirs:--
 Often in the night my wife had to wake me up because I was almost choking to death with catarrh. had one sf the worst cases that was ever known. and skillful physicians said it was chronic.
 Fortunately a friend told me of Hy.s omei, and used this treatment faith fully, and today am free from catarrh. usedk Hyomei perhaps five times day and could soon see a great change. A complete outfit and an extra bottle cured me. I always carry a Hyomei inhaler in my pocket, so as to prevent any colds or slight catarrhal attacks that are common at this season of the year. Yours fraternaIly,
 Thomas Flnehan, Putnam, Conn.
 It is the easiest thing in the world to cure catarrh or catarrhal colds if you use Hyomei. Breathe its health giving, bslsamic air for few minutes, and your catarrhal trouble will soon be cured. "
 The complete outfit costs but one dol lar. and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest pocket. a medicine dropper. and bottle of Fly omei. The inhaler lasts a life-tfme, while extra bottles, if needed, cad be obtained for 50 cents.

anticipate erecting costly buildings will not take the risks attending such work. The man who has an expensive house to build and the contractor who would undertake the work both know that when they are in the midst of it the entire work may be stopped for an in- definite period by strike or lockout. Then the man who does the paying will be bled from two to i've times what the work ought to cost before he can get 1t done.
 Is it any wonder that moneyed men in New York have become tired of be- ing held up ana robbed in this way? Is 1t any wonder that they refuse to do any improving under the conditions now prevailing? And is 1t at all sur prising that thousands of working men are idle? To quote again from The Times: Tt Is to be regretted that the unions have net yet produced a leader with the intelligence to see that policy which fails to protect the owner is destructive of the prosperity of their industry. It should not be dk- ncult to arrange plan by which cost ly interruptions and delays might be avoided and buildings begun under mutually satisfactory contracts finish ed on schedule time. The demand of the owner Is not at all for cheap labor It is for honest labor, for a fair dayss work for liberal wages, for responsi- bility of labor in all contractual re- lations, and for a reasonable considera- tion on the part of labor for the in- terests of those who are the real suf- ferers from the daily and almost hourly contentious between employers and workmen. These things hurt the em- ployer very little. He is protected by strike clauses. The owner pays for 1t all. and that he is tired of 1t is not sur prising."
 No. 1t is not surprising that they should be tired of it. On the contrary it Is perfectly natural There should be harmony between owners of prop erty, contractors and laborers and 1t should be the kind of harmony that is based on mutual interests and mutual advantages. Capital has rights as well as labor, Capital as well as labor should be protected in the enJoyment' of these rights. When labor can hold up capital by unjust demands then la Dor need not be surprised to find itself out of job. ,.

New York Herald.
 Considering the hard struggle of the ment of the existing national bank ruptcy law there is something gro- tesque as well as disQuieting in the readiness with which the House Com mittee on Judiciary has favorably re- ported upon a bill for It's repeal.
 This law was enacted in 1898 and an amendatory act was passed two years ago, a new investigation was made as 1t was found to be very strongly in favor of the law. Doubtless it still retains defects, but these can only be discovered and remedied as the result of the act. The animus of the major ity of the Judiciary Committee appears in this sentence from the report:
 The friends of the present bankrupt cy law, who belong to the creditors class. are constantly endeavoring to perfect this act into mere machinery for the collection of debts, minimizing or ignoring as far as possible the .pri- mary purpose of bankruptcy legisla- tion-the relief of unfortunate deb- tors"
 Under the operation of forty-five dif- ferent State insolvency systems provid- ing in the main for preferences to To- cal creditors to the injury of non resi- dent creditors the trade of tn coun- try was hampered and credit was natur ally contracted. The experiment. or the national law providing for an equitable distribution of a bankrupt's assets among all his creditors near and far has enabled Southern and Western mer- chants to buy more freely and on bet ter terms in Eeastern markets and has promoted trade.

A Gold Overflow,

Baltimore Sun.
 Since October last we have exported some $62,0OO,0 900 of gold without a f- nancial tremor. whereas in lSs6 the ex- portation of about $40,00o,000 caused great alarm. But 1905 differs from 1896 in many ways. There is no fear at present that silver will take the place of gold as the basis of our cur rency, and no doubt of getting gold dollars in exchange for greenbacks is presented At present ftnanciers ex- press the view that we might lose &200, 100000 of gold without bad re- suits. In some quarters the outflow just now Is represented as an overflow, large for profitable use here. Money can be had at low rates at money cen ters. But there ought to be plenty of opp9rtuhit.tses .s TOT tne use or all the golo porous as we suppose.
