COL. JOHN L. RAPIER AT
GATEWAY TO GREAT BEYOND.

Col John L. Rapier. of Mobile, presi-
dent Of The Register Company, who
was taken i'll several days ago with
what, at that time, was considered
but a slight affection, has been given
up by the physicians in attendance
and his death is momentarily expected.
That his condition was serious was
not believed until ,ne announcement
was made by his physicians yesterday
that dissolution was fast approaching.
The following tribute to his worth,
which appeared in the Mobile Item of
yesterday, will be fully endorsed by
all who knew him: .-.....-.
The announcement of his physicians
that Colonel John L. Rapier, president
Of The Register Company, is fast ap-
preaching dissolution will be a o1stinc-
tive shock, not only to Mobile and the
state of Alabama, but throughout the
South.
For many years Colonel Rapier has
been a prominent figure in Southern
Journalism, and has left an indelible
stamp of his strong characteristics
upon the profession. Of a vigorous,
combative disposition, he has always
been found in the front ranks main
tanning HIS ideals, and if there have
been those who differed with him,
there have been none to deny him that
individuality and honesty Of purpose
that at all times commands the high
est respect from friend and foe alike.
In social life Colonel Rapier was a
magnate, because he was the embodi.
ment of those attributes of a strong
man that stand out so prominently in
the social circle. His relations to the
community as a citizen were Of dis
tinction because Of his patriotism, and
the great opportunities his elevated
position, both in the business and So
icsl worlds, gave him for being useful
TO the communicated he never over
looked such an opportunity, as he saw
IL
The critical condition of this dis
tinguished citizen is sufficient grounds
for much regret in the city of Mobile
and state of Alabama, and when the
final summons comes there will fall a
sad loss.

THE PROPOSED
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

Commenting upon the proposed ship
subsidy measure which is now under
consideration by congress and which
will in all probability be passed during
the present session, the Memphis Com
mercialAppeal says:
Those patriotic financiers eompos-
ing the Merchant Marine League. who
would establish the American flag upon
the high seas provided the government
VIII insure them handsome returns
Tor their investment have grow weary
Of awaiting the reduction in steel tariff.
They are busying themselves to Sc
cure the immediate passage of a shin
ping bill, declaring that now is the
time for the measure. as only three
democratic senators are on record as
against such a bill.
Democrats may countenance a sub
sidy to ship builders, but only for the
purpose of bringing confusion upon
the republicans, knowing well that a
ship subsidy cannot be entertained
until there is heavy cut in steel
tariff.
The only honest way for these patri-
otto ship builders to proceed is to at
tack the steel tariff, fight it until the
cost OF steel to American ship builders
shall be on a par with the cost to ship
builders in England, then proceed with
their industry on lilies of an equal
market and square fight.
Carnegie's millions and the many
other large fortunes donated by the
people TO steel men in the shape of
protective tariff amply demonstrate
that this Infant industry" at least
his long since grown 10 mans estate.
Whack these enormous private for
tunes out of the steel tariff and ship
builders can buy material at Compel
ing prices. If under these conditions
they cannot restore the American flag
to the ocean an0 at the same time put
money in their pockets it were better
to keep the Stars and Stripes wrapped
up ashore.
The country with ats tariff has built
up millionaires and the people are not
pleased with the creation. There is
no reason TO suppose that bounty or
subsidy made millionaire will be an
improvement on the tariff production.
but if the democrats can force a fight
on the latter by calling in the former
so much the better. There is a chance
then that they will destroy one anoth-
er, when perhaps the people will come
in for little congressional consider
alton.

RUSSIA FAR WORSE OFF
THAN WHEN THE WAR BEGAN,

The result of the fighting in the Far
East, which began one year ago yes
terday,is summarized by the Birming-
ham Ase-Herald as follows:
The war in the far east began on
February by a Japanese assault on
a Russian fleet at Port Arthur-one
year ago to-day. In all that time II
cannot be said that the Russians have
won a single victory on land or sea.
Their fleets at Port Arthur and Vladi-
vostock were destroyed by piecemeali
and to-day not one Russian ship IN
the two fleets is free or afioat eX-
cept possibly two damaged cruisers
shut in by the ice at VladivoStock
Those two cruisers, the Rossia and
Gromoboi, may have been repaired
but their fighting strength Is incon'
siderable. Rojestvensky and Volkers-
hRni's fleets are at or near Madagas'
car, waiting for ROtvorsky, who Is
steaming down the Red Sea. The sail.
ing Of the feet at Liabu has been
indefinitely postponed.
Nor have the Russians done much
better on land. They we're driven
from the Yalu and were whipped al
Nashan Hill. So they We're at IellSsu
and Kogi and after an effort covering
seven months captured Port Ar
thur. The Russians just die
escape a general disaster at Lilac
Yang. The battle of Shake river re
suited in a Russian repulse, and the
Russians won no laurels at Hun river
To-day Russia is in far worse con-
dition than she was one year ago
Her prestige has been sadly impaired
and her internal affairs are in a fer.
ment, and a reign OF terror seems to
be impending. The uncertainty of the
future relates as much to Russia's
home affairs as TO the operations OF
her army and feet in the far east
The prospect is not hattering fol
Russia either at home or in Man
churia. Much depends upon heavy
battle to be fought between Oyams
and Kuropatkin as soon as the weather
will admit improvements in the field

REVOLUTION IN THE

The revolutionary movement in
Ruenos Ayres IS about checked. The
government troops, everywhere where
the movement has made itself felt.
have succeeded in crushing out the
rebellion. At last accounts several
hundred of the revolutionists had
been arrested, and the announcement
has been made by the government
that no leniency will be shown them.
The revolutionary leaders are men
of a great deal of political influence
and they have had the assistance Of
! quite a large number of diSaffected
soldiers.
The cause Of the outbreak IS said to
be unfairness in elections and corrupt
practices of officials. There was
similar outbreak in 1874. At that
time the disturbance continued for
more than two months It isn't prob
able, from latest advices, that the
| present outbreak will last anywhere
near that long. The indications are
I that it will he brought to an end

situation has not undergone any radl-

that it couldn't be easily handled by
the authorities. but if unfairness is
( tolerated in municipal, county and
state elections the time will come
when there will be all sorts of wrong
doing in connection with national cleo

like that from which Buenos Ayres
is suffering.
! In 1876 we had charges of unfair
ness IN a presidential election. and
the country was brought perilously
near CIVIL war. 1t was averted only
by referring the matters in dispute To
a commission. We might not be able
to avoid a revolution that way again.

Graft" at Washington.
The President has just taken cog
nizance Of one of the very worst cases
of graft in Washington. The order of
the President is as follows:
1T is hereby ordered that hereafter
no officer, clerk or employee in the
executive service of the government,
who Is also a notary public, shall
charge or receive any compensation
whatever for performing any notorial
act for an officer, clerk or employs of
the government, in his official capa-
city, or in any matter in which the
government is interested, or for any
person when in the case of such per-
son the act is performed during the
hours Of such notary's service in their
government. Disobedience of this
order shall be ground for imme Hate
dismissal from the service"
This order of the President affects
a very large number of clerks in the
government service who have been
making clear living off their notcrial
seals while at the same time working
Tor the government. There is a no.
tary public in almost every division
OF the government departments. 1t is
matter of record that men drawing
a salary Of $1,000 a year have made
considerably more than that OF their
notorial seals, and yet never left their
desks at the department. The prac-
tice has been to charge from Is to so
cents for each acknowledgment o. a
signature TO a government contract,
and some of these notaries have used
their seals as often as twenty times
a day. The total foots up nicely. The
President as soon as advised d what

on the appointment he has made for
this county through the regular Demo
cratic channel-the executive commit
tee of the party. The Index believes
it can outline Gov. Broward's policy
in this respect. If the committees
endorse vacancies throughout the
state by recommending good men,
these endorsements will stand. But
being familiar with the conditions that
exist in the various counties, if a to-
tally unfit nomination i'm made by d
committee-made simply to pay a po-
iitical debt, and without regard to fit
ness or the good Of the community
Gov. Broward will then exercise his
own judgment in the matter. So that

tees to be careful in their selections to
