 of the Conference Held in Chattanooga Recently

white immigrants, irrespective of natl onality to come to the south.
 While nothing novel was formulated by the conference 1t suggested the establish ment of an immigration bureau in each state. It is well that the conference did not give false view of the attitude of southern states toward immigration,
 ."The south's labor needs are most press- ing Immigration alone can relieve the situation. Immigrant agents and other in- fiuences in the north have been active in distributing wrong information concern ing the south and it's attitude towards im- migration They have been largely suc- cessful In their efforts to keep immigrants away from the south. As proof of this Alabama only received 10O9 immigrants last year
 Tt Is probably that more than this number left Alabama for other sections of the country during tho same period. As Alabama is growing industrially much faster than can be provided for by the natural increase in population, the need of bringing stream of immigration into the state Is apparent.
 Ine AlapaIna otate lhiiiisrduon usso- citation is doing what it can to call the attention of tho people of Alabama to the importance of establishing an immi- grafton bureau. It feels that 1t has ac- complished something in this direction, and trusts that the sentiment in favor of immigration by the time the legislature meets will induce that body to make an appropriation that will enable Alabama to conduct an immigration bureau on prac- tical and effective basis"

The following delegates have been ap- pointed to represent the Alabama State Immigration association at the conference on immigration to be held in New York December 6-S under the auspices of the National Civic Federation: Henry B. Gray A. L. Fulenwder, Joseph O. Thomp- son. c. L. Stickney Joseph B. Babb of Birmingham, w. T. Brown of Ragland and Charles H. Scott of Montgomery.
 The Alabama Immigration association was organized several months ago and F. M. Jackson was elected president and Joseph B. Babb secretary.
 In speaking of the recent southern con ference held at Chattanooga, MT. Babb had the following to say
 .The resolutions adopted by the Chatta- nooga conference on immigration must be especially gratifying to the promoters and the organizers of the Alabama Immigra- tion association.
 "It will be remembered that when the Alabama Immigration association was or- ganized it was fiercely attacked in cer- tain quarters, for the reason that it ex- tended an invitation to desirable immi- grants to come to Alabama and help us prosper. Indeed, the Chattanooga con ference was called for the purpose of adopting resolutions, in a measure intend- ed to rebuke the Alabama State lmmigra- tion association. But the best laid plans of mice and men oft gang aglee.
 Tn stead of adopting anti-immigration resolutions, as would have been expected from the call, the conference extended an invitation to all industrious and upright

Russia is reapihg the reward of

Russia is reaping the reward of 900
years Of grinding, corrupt autocracy. the
mutterings and discomfort of her op-
pressed and ignorant masses having
broken forth in such widespread riot
and anarchy as to be even beyond the
control of that iron government. the re-
suit of whose cruelty and barbarity is
finding its natural product in the murder
and rapine. through race prejudice, being
perpetrated against the Jews by an ignor-
ant people which this barbarous form of
government has raised up.
The Car, in an attempt to retain a
vestige of his tottering power, issued a
manifesto conceding the nation extended
suffrage, legislative assembly, free
speech, and free people, but which has
failed utterly to check the atrocities
which have been the means of sacrificing
the lives of thousands OF innocents, on
this altar of hideous autocracy which
belongs to period long past and should
have been overthrown ages ago.

Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick has lost
her last hope for a new trial unless
the Supreme Court Of the United
States shall consent to allow re-
hearing. The United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals has refused her

of conspiring to defraud under the
National Banking law, the specific
case involving the wrecking of the
Citizens National Bank, at Oberlin,
Ohio, whose president has died
since the exposure of the case.

THE ELECTION.

Elections were held Tuesday in seven
States-Maryland, New York, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, and Virginia, Governors being
chosen in four of them, Massachusetts,
Ohio, Rhode Island and Virginia, minor
state officers being chosen in the other
Municipal elections were held in several
other States and cities.
In our own State of Maryland Comp
troller of the Treasury, Legislators and
county officers were elected and two Con-
stitutional amendments voted on.
In Cecil county the campaign was one
of the hardest fought that has taken place
for years, and the result as made known
Wednesday morning showed political
revolution had taken place, the independ-
ents and disgruntled democrats voting
with the republicans against what they
termed boss rule.
OF the eleven candidates the republic
ans carried the county for four-State
Senator, one member of the House OF
Delegates, Sheriff, and one County Com
missioner-long term, the successful DEM
ocratic nominees being the candidate for
Comptroller of the Treasury, two for
the House of Delegates. County Treas
urer, Assistant Treasurer, short term
Commissioner and County Surveyor,
there being no opposing nominee for the
latter Office. The suffrage amendment
was defeated by large majority.
Next to our own State much interest
was manifestin the result in Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia where the republican
ring grafters were overthrown in an over
whelming victory for the reformers, the
democratic nominee with reform indorse-
ment for State treasurer being elected.
In Ohio Democratic tidal wave swept
the State, carrying the party's nominee
for Governor into office.
In Virginia the democratic Governor
was elected. III Massachusetts and
Rhode Island the republicans elected
their gubernatorial candidates.
The returns at this writing are very
incomplete. The judges and clerks
found the ballot in Cecil cumbersome
one, it requiring the entire night in most
of the Districts to complete the count.
The complete vote of the several Dis
tricts of the county will be found else.

A good many people would like to
know where the great difference is be-
tween Cunliffe, the express thief, and
Depew, McCurdy, Mccall and other life
insurance thieves, that the former is COM
PEELED to do time'' for his misdeed while
the latter continue to 'do" the. people as
for years past.
When Cunliffe decamped with $Ioo, 900
of the express company's money and was
caught the detectives put him through
the third degree in order to force him
to disclose where he had concealed the
money. One of the favorite methods OF
torturing prisoners. in China is to keep
them awake until death ensues from ex-
haustion, and this third degree" meth
cd of sweating things out of prisoner
is patterned after the first stages of the
Chinese form of torture.
If the. detectives would take Depew,
McCurdy, Mccall and other life insur-
ance thieves in hand and subject them to
the same treatment the express thief
underwent, to make them tell, the peo-
pie would learn still more about the way
their trust funds have been squandered by
these officials, whose stealings are cloaked
under the term graft" which doesn't
CRATE quite so harshly on their sensitive
nerves as plain, unvarnished theft, to
which it virtually amounts.

The Trusts and the Middle Class

There exists between the capitalislic
class and the working class number of
small farmers, small manufacturers,
small storekeepers, and selfemployed
workers, who together constitute what is
called the middle class; all of whom do
business on small scale, and who are
therefore unable to compete with the
capitalistic class whose gigantic factories,
farms, and shops are equipped with the
best labor-and-wage-saving machinery,
which lowers the cost of their production
and thus forces the small middle class
outside the margin of profit. The capt.
talist class system of concentration in
company, syndicate, combine, and trust
absorbs few of the small middle class.
but thrusts by far the greater part of them
into the ranks of the wage working class.
AS a class, the middle class are being
annihilated by the evolution of the cap
italistic trust system.

Railway Rates Increasing.

Chester Arthur Legg. correspondent
for the Boston Transcript, who investi-
gated the railway rate regulation question
thoroughly, gives it as his opinion, that
Notwithstanding the improved facilities
of the railways and the lessening of the
cost of actual running expenses, railroad
rates are on the increase.
The correspondent states the railroad
officials were bent upon giving the i'm
preston that railway rates were now at
the lowest point of profitable operation
and that any power given to the commits
sion to reduce rates cannot but result in
bankrupting the railroad companies. In
vestigation shows that within the last
twenty years, with the actual cost of
transporting freight of all kinds constant
ly decreasing. the general level of freight
rates, if anything, has increased so that
now for practically the same service the
revenue is more than doubled. Grades
and curves have been reduced, power
and facilities of carrying are improved
and the density of traffic, the chief factor
in economy of operation, has been great
1y increased. Twenty years ago the
average weight of carload of grain was
thirty thousand pounds. One engine
would draw train of thirty to forty cars.
Today the average weight has risen to
about sixty thousand pounds for car of
grain, coal and stone. and an engine
hauls from fifty to sixty cars.

that he had once seen exchanged TOR
an old blind horse and fiddla that was
now being sold by the foot. 1t took
a capitalist to own as much as Que
could cover with saddle blanket The
successful operators were working
right up to the line of the tract that
belonged to the heirs OF Whit Barde-
line.
Maj. Sark remembered that this land
had once been sold for swo dollars an
acre, and he recalled that when Barde-
line was forced to leavs. the country
on account of sickness in his far.ily
and poverty, it was in vain that he
sought buyer.
This region, of country, almost In
sight of Houston, had been unsettled
for years. Settlers avoided the level
prairies End the thickets of the San
Jacinto as if the land were haunted or
q pestilence hung over the place. At
one period Bardeline had offered to
trade his possessions for yoke oi
cid steers, cart and mule as means
and effects that offered some hope OF
escaping the poverty stricken region.
The old major waG well acquainted
with poverty. He had been forced
to practice law, he said, for bread, :"
and having no sense of honor or tina
elementary rudiments of his profess

tentiary AS a recluse and a bear
hunter he had proved eminently sue

Now that fortune had knocked at his
door, he determined to leave no stone
unturned until he could walk with
the oil millionaires and be one of them

approached by a well-dreSsed little
man, who asked few questions, and
at 0nce proceeded to make himself a
pleasing and interesting acquaintance.
Smart, of the firm of Smart G. Her.

able find. In less than tws minutes he
had learned that Maj. Sark knew a
great deal about the land and the heirs
Of Whit Bardeline, and he invited him
to visit the Office of his firm. In

Choi.e shivered as if she had an

The shrewd old major saw the effect
Of his spark and he ran to Smart &

They did not have the gold. but they
