 There is a colored man in Alabama, W. H. Councill by name, who seems to be particularly well endowed with that very rare attribute which we careless ly describe as common" sense. Some days ago Professor Councill-for he too seems to be the head of a Southern negro college-addressed a meeting of some kind in Kansas. Co1ored pro- phets and leaders from both sections frequently address Northern audiences. So far the incident is not at all unique. But as 1t happens, Professor Councills ence to wrongs" of his race. He made no appeal to Kansas pity, in dulged in nc hint at dark cruelty and wicked oppression by the Southern whites. He did not proclaim the negro as martyr to prejudice and hatred in most abounds. Quite the contrary. As matter of fact, he said of the South ern situation what every intelligent person knows and every honest witness testifes-that the Southern whites are the black mans truest friends.
 We quote at random:

The Nations Progress.

Boston Globe.
 The annual reviews in the great jour- nals of the land of what the nation has achieved in agriculture. manufacture and general industry during the past year are staggering.
 Our commercial progress almost sur passes belief. The total wealth of the nation is now conservatively estimated at upwards of one hundred billion dol lars. the foreign commerce for the year aggregating n round numbers x2,600.- 100000, while the condition of the Treasury is on the whole satisfactory.
 The development of the railroads has been phenomenal The farmers have produced enormously. The building outlook is unprecedented. Skyscrapers are rising like ghosts over our old cities The iron industry is spreading, while the most encouraging commer- cial symptom of all is the increase of the purely factory exports" which Is covering Europe and the East with our
 The scientific progress of the year is also wonderful.
 We have the discovery of radium and other hitherto unknown forces, and, above all, wireless telegraphy, which now traverses between Poldhu, Eng land, and Cape Cod, and is making fresh conquests every day.
 The great obstacle that lies before the door of progress is the trust prob lem. In fact, where we seem to be making least progress Is in knowing how to handle what we achieve, so that few monopolists shall not unjustly control the lions share of production.
 Our commercial progress is grand and Inquestioned. The political problems most seriously confront us.

 an army, savage or civilized. shown greater courage or determination in
 the face of danger and carnage than
 they have displayed throughout. Their repeated repulses only made them more persistent and their losses apparently added to their invincibility and devo- tion.
 But in our admiration for General Nogi and his army we must not lose sight of the heroic resistance made by General Stoessel. For months he has
 withstood the continued and constant attacks of the enemy. For weeks 1t
 Arthur must fall. Without sufficient endorsements of men, munitions and provisions he knew that the Port must surrender. but this knowledge appar- ently made no difference to him. With dogged courage and determination he saw one strong position after another
 fall. With grim silence he witnessed
 each day the nearer approach of the end which no human power could avert. Still he held out, faithful to she end, defying fate itself, consistent only in the duty assigned him. We may censure him for not surrenderins earlier. and blame him for the sacri- flee of life and property. but we must accord to him a share of the praise which we so freely give his enemies. It has been a wonderful siege and a
 wonderful defence.

That this kind of thing Is done in other States is beyond doubt. but what are you going to do about 1t? Unless all the States adopt the suggestion of the Washington man and put the senatorship up to the highest bidder, the proceeds to go to the State, we fail to see any remedy. Some method will nearly always be adopted to select a Senator in advance of Leg isla tive action. and we suppose there's no need to fret about it.

Did the President Approve It.
Savannah News.

savannah NeWS.
 So many of the leading lawyers of the Republican Party are outspoken in their opposition to the plan of MT. Garfield the Commissioner of Corporations, for controlling corporations that the ques- 1 tion whether the President saw it before 1t was published naturally arises. It is known that he likes to exercise power and this plan would give the President extraordinary power.
 If. however, he approved 1t before it was given publicity, 1t Is doubtful if he does now. It has been pointed out 1 from so many sources that 1t would give the Government much greater l power than is provided for in the con - stitution and would go a long way to- wards endangering the liberties of the people that he has probably given the subject additional attention and come to the conclusion that it would be a mistake to adopt the plan.
 There Is not much probability, how ever, of it's adoption. The first step | that Congress took in that direction would no doubt be met with a storm | of protests.
 The power which Commissioner Gar field would confer on the Federal Gov
 Grnment Is not provided for in the constitution, and the exercises of 1t therefore would be arbitrary. If cor porations doing an interstate business had to be licensed by the Federal Gov ernment the President would have very much greater power than he has at l present. He would be in a position to 1 meddle in such of their affairs as have no relation to interstate commerce.. If MT. Garheld's plan should be | adopted we should not have to point | to our Philippine policy as an indica- | ton that we were moving towards i'm | peftalism. Imperialism would be al

ELECrING SENATORS.

The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal has been talking about the election of Senators. and jumps on the State of New York because it has to all intents and pur- poses elected the Senator before the Legislature assemblies. It declares that the constitutional provision re- quiring Senators to be elected by the Legislature has been ignored, and that the members of that body will act the part of men on a checker-board. moved by Platt or odell to name the man selected. That man is Depew, it now appears, and the Legislature will have nothing to do but confirm the selec- ton made by the boss.
 That is all very well, but The Omaha world-Herald calls The Journals at- tention to the fact that Nebraska, also. has a Senator to elect soon. and afiirms that the man has been practically chosen by three railroad Presidents. It sayssthat Depew is backed by the railroad interests in New York and that Burkett, the man selected in Nee braska, is really the creature of the roads. Then The world-Herald calls attention to Roossvelt's boasted policy of fighting the trusts and asks:
 But. If the Republicans of Nebraska and New York are really in sympathy with Mir. Roosevelt's boasted policy. and if the battle he is to wage against monopoly is to be genuine, then is 1t York end Nebraska Republicans to elect to the Senate men notorious as railroad candidates and at the very time when, if the President Is really sincere, he is preparing to wage the greateet battle of his career, the sue cess or failure of which must depend upon the Senate?

The Norfolk Landmark can only con - graduate Senator Depew so far as to say that New York 'is the gainer to the extent of not having a disappoint- ing Senator replaced by one who would probably have proved more disappoint- ing" That isn't boosting Chauncey very much. If he has been disap- much was expected of him. True, he was somewhat distinguished as an ora tor and after-dinner speaker but 1t must be remembered that he was 65 years old when elected Senator, and had no legislative experience except the little obtained in the State Legis- 1ature.
 Men of MT. Depew's age, and many who are older than he, are both prom inent and influential in the Senate but as a general thing they owe their prominence either to earlier training or to special fitness for legislative work, neither of which can be said of Mir. Depew. It Is altogether probable that there were some who expected him to at once leap into a shining leadership. but they had no reason for thinking so. That he has disappoint- ed those who expected great things of him is true, but New York might easily get a much worse man to rep resent her in the upper branch of Con- gress, and several of the States might be proud to exchange Senators for 9 man of his character.

DIsAGREEs WITH MORTON.
MT. Roosevelt Against Proposition t
 Legalize Rate Pooling.

MP. Roosevelt Against Proposition to
 Legalixe Rate Pooling.
 Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 President Roosevelt today definitely refused to have the proposition to legalize pooling, which has been urged by MT. Morton, the Secretary of the Navy, involved in any way with his suggestion to have the Interstate Com merce Commission empowered to fix rates.
 He desires to have the scheme to ip- crease the powers of the commission to rest by itself and he will have nothing to do with the railroad cam paign to have Congress authorize the pooling of traffic.
 The railroads are divided into two classes. One class would be willing to accept the additional authority for the Interstate Commerce Commission if it could have pooling legalized in the same bill. Another class wants pool ing and no increase in authority for the Interstate Commerce Commission, and is now fighting the President. To the former class Secretary Morton Is said to belong, and the action of the President in declaring against having his suggestion treated as a corollary to giving permission to the railroads to pool is taken to mean that the rail- roads need ask nothing so long as they are in opposition to a bill which means, in the opinion of the President, the wiping out of rebates and the stopping of special privileges to large shippers at the expense of the smaller ones.

Some sngEsstsoas ss to Reducing Crop. Editor The Advertiser:
 Why burn any of the crop of 1904? The cotton growers of the South have ssen nensn that to a,s smell crop brings more one.
 Ten million bales at $50 per bale amounts of $5o0.o00,00o; 1z.500, ,600 bales at ss6. amounts to s4s7 7,5oo.oo0. You CT an excess of $62,500,00O.
 Now for ways and means to extri- cate ourselves from the spectators, who are sapping the life's blood of the chants and farmers of the South unite. and carry one and half or two million bales of the crop. Appoint a commits sioner in each county; turn over to him one.eishth of the cotton in our pos session; let him store at suitable places, and have cotton insured. Then take sworn obligation to not sell this cotton until after the 20th day of August, 1905. regardless of price or the necessity of spinners. This plan will eliminate that amount from the crop of 1904, and will add the amount to
 Proposition the second: Let's give the shilocks a 6.000,o00 crop in 1905. Six million grown in 1905, with the 2,ooo:ooo carried over. amount to S,ooo.- ooo bales for 1905. This, at $50 per to $480, 900, which, you see, is a net gain over the 12.5OO,oo0 crop of s42.- 500,000.
 Now for the plan to raise this small tile soil reduce their acreage one-half, and the States where the lands are thin abandon entirely commercial fertiliz- CTS, which will reduce their cotton about one-half; but if need be, then reduce acreage one-fourth.
 This will give us large acreage>,for growing supplies. Millions of dollars saving in paying for fertilizers and more money for our cotton crop.
 Boys. let's organized and protect our selves. If we fail in this crop, be ready and load for them next fall. United we stand. divided we fall. I have over half of my little crop on hand, and am willing to place 1t on the alter If need be. Dr. Z T. Grady,
