ANOTHER FEDRRAL JUDGE.

Lawyers and persons having business in the United States Courts in the Mid- de and Northern Districts of the State, help for Judge Jones. His diligent labors to dispatch mass of business, which 1t is beyond the power of any man to accomplish. are fully appreci- ated by the lawyers in the districts, and the effort to get another Judge is made with his full approval and CO., operation.
 met. and passed resolutions favoring the plan recommended by the Alabama State Bar Association at its meeting last summer. of an additional judge for both districts, to reside in the Northern Dis- trict. Judge Jones was invited to ad- dress the meeting. and did so, but The Advertiser was unable to obtain his full remarks until today It now pub- fishes them, as they relate to matters in which the Bar of large portion of l the State are profoundly interested. As The Advertiser gleans from its ex- changes, the Birmingham Bar is the only one so far acting which has not unequivocally approved the plan of an additional Judge for both districts. The Alabama State Bar Association, and the bars of Talladega, Florence, Huntsville, Decatur Montgomery, Athens, Lafay- cite, and perhaps other places which have escaped us, have recommended that plan, as the best solution, and urg- ed upon our Senators and Representa- tives to press its passage. Everybody who has any business in the Federal courts ia deeply concerned in having relief, and lawyers and litigants alike hope that differences about plan will not prevent unioa on some one plan, without which relief seems long ways off

- ---s'-7a1-a~---=7----- A DUTY THAT HURTS.

The people of New England, and es- pecially Of Massachusetts are fully in eearnest is their opposition to the pres ent tarifr on hides. and they have cause to be. Massachusetts is perhaps the largest shoe manufacturing State in the Union, and the present duty of Is per cent. ad valorem on hides is almost prohibltive. It was imposed for the benefit of the Western cattle men and is doubtless a good thing for them but it Is not good for the shoemakers and their customers. Not only Massachu- setts is aroused but the other New Eng land States, as well as all other places where shoes are made. and all who wear shoes are directly concerned.
 A Hartford contemporary says the manufacturers throughout the country are confronted with the necessity of advancing at least 30 cents a pair on their shoes In order to prevent loss to themselves arising from the scarcity and high prices of hides. Like most other tariff-p protected products this duty benefits comparatively few Americans while it imposes additional burdens on

GOOD FARMING.

Those who have not kept up with the agricultural possibilities of Indian Ter ritory and Oklahoma have something to learn. The SEufaula Journal of last week tells us that TWO hundred loads of cotton were on the market Saturday, while the town was fairly alive with loads of corn" Then we find tNs item:
 Frank Kirk, of Enid. has established of alfalfa from the same piece of ground this year. He says that the ninth cut ting was as good as any he ever raised. nne erops wsrs tsn tSa wssa s.ason cred twenty-five acres. On ten scres MT. Kirk says the alfalfa averaged one and and one.half tons per acre for each crop, making the. ten acres bear 135 tons of alfalfa this season.

 We think our best farmers will ad- init that this is some cropping. and the statement of The Journal that there is nothing unusual in soil or location is suggestive. Enld Is in what Is known as The Cherokee Outlet in Oklahoma, and Is in about the same latitude as the north line of Tennessee. What is said of that section applies to much of both Oklahoma and Indian Territory and shows that the agricultural advantages of the two are little less than won derful

Power Coinr 10 wnste,

The Paris edition of the London Dali ly Mall says that Lake Titieaea, the largest lake in Peru, aud the highest navigahle lake in the world, is to be tapped for the purpose of securing electric power. It says further that the power will be utilized to supply motive force for the Southern railways of Peru, and probably also to provide electricity for lighting and other pur- poses in the Republic.
 M. Emile GuaPini, a well known electrical engineer, who has neen com missioned by the Peruvian Government to estimate the resources of the lake. has returned from his mission full of enthusiasm. At present the Southern railroads of Peru consume about 14O tons of coal a day The cost of this by the time 1t has been transported to the place of use has amounted to at least $9,73 a ton. This means an average expenditure of $1.3e3 day. or e47S,- 357 q year for motive power on the railways.
 The interest on the capital necessa- ry for the installation of electric power would, according to M Guarini, fall far below this sum, and, in addition. the electrical supply could be used for other purposes during the night, as the trains are run only in the day time, By utilizing the stream at Are qupa, NJ. Guarini thinks that a force will be obtained exceeding by 5000 horse power the power necessary for supplying the railway. The surplus. M. Guartni says, could be used for lighting the towns, for agricultural aud mining operations, and perhaps for electric navigation, Above all, M. Guarini urges the establishment ot factories at the point on the coast nearest the IaIxa where snall and val- uable articles could be manufactured for exportation to Europe and the United States. The scheme. tf resiiz- ed. should enable Peru 10 take prom inent place among manuraeturing countries

pAssTNG OF THE INDIAN.

It is somewhat pitiful to learn. as we do from authentic sources, that with the advantages brought to the In- dians by civilization there also came to them that scourge of the white race, tuberculosis. It is stated as a fact that the fuli-bloods, instead of increasing in numbers are really decreasing. and that any real increase In the general Indian census is due to the infusion of white blood, now so common by the intermar- riage of the races.
 It Is 6 well established fact that in their native condition. before the civil iization of the white race came to them. consumption and other lung and bron- chial troubles were practically un- known. Especially was this true of consumption itself. for that cam. with the white man and Its ravages have been fearful In their native condition the Indians had and practiced hygiene of their own. and though they were much exposed to the weather their mode of life had hardening effec, which prevented lung diseases almost entirely.
 With civilization came civilizations s faults and dangers. The Indians have in part adopted the white mans system of living. dressing and dieting, but the almost total neglect of proper bygienic measures. housing themselves in warm hpts or houses at one time and expos ing themselves to all kinds of weather at another have rendered them fit prey for the great white plague and it is gathering them in by the thousands whether these evils can be remedied is a question of extreme doubt. to say the least of 1t. It seems impossible to educate the savages to the knowledge that they are in a great degree respon- sible for the evils that are decimating them. They copy the whites in some respects and follow their own instincts and habits in others. They shut them- selves in practically air tight rooms for time and then expose themselves to the most indictment weather out doors. They neglect the ordinary rules of san- itation with the stoicism of the fataiist and expect the Great Spirit to protect them. The end will be that the bless | ings of civilization" will be the extine- tion of the Indians as a race, and the time does not seem very remote. 1t is pitiful.

A Dangerous Antagonist.

New York Times
 Of tariff reformers like Grover Cieve- land and William l.. Wilson the pro- tected interests have sometimes stood In fear, but none of these was ever so dangerous and appalling an antagonist as Theodore Roosevelt, who is not only President of the United States and leader of the party in power, but is so extraordinarily popular that party lines dissolve before his inspiring per- sonality and who is by temperament so strenuous, prevailing and unstoppable that if he once commits himself to the work of tariff smashing, he will keep at # until the big and heetlinF Chinese should he stopf How can he stop? Logically. in truth, in sincerity, and in honesty there is no stopping place. Can the President demand for the gov ernment business exemptions which are denied to private business? Apd could there be a more destructive ex- posture of the cowardly falsehood that the industries of the United States still stand in need of protection than this refusal of the government to extend to them a helping hand rendering the prices they have privileged to extort.

Druggist E. G. Fowler says: There is nothing like Vinol for growing children. It makes new vitality, sound flesh and muscle tissue and rich, pure, red blood. and many letters have been received from grateful fathers and mothers whose children owe their health. and even life. to vinol
 The reason Vino1 is so far superior 70 all other tonics and cod liver oil preparations for children is. because it contains. in a concentrated form, all the strengthening. bodybuilding els- ments of cod liver oil. actually taken from fresh cods' flyers. but without a drop of oil or grease. and it does not upset their weak, delicate stonnachs like old-fashionad cod liver oil and emulsious. but is easily assimflatcd, and Is so delicious that children all love it." <
 Continued Mir. Fowler: We cannot recommend Vinol too highly for puny, weak and ailing children, to build up the rundown, overworked. tired and facilitated. or to give renewed vital ity to the aged. So sure are we of what 1t will do that we cheerfully re- fund the money in every case where 1t fails" E. G. Fowler, Druggist.

"WEDNESDAY, sovnmsnR |, lsss
A yrCaous [ rnorossTrox.

At the coming election Tn New tork the people ef that State will be called on to vote on several constitutional amendments, at least. ones of which should be buried so deep that 1t will never more be heard of. To get at the meaning of it it is necessary to remem- bar that two or three laws have been enacted by the Legislature to regulate wages and contracts, all put 9n the statute books at the behest of labor unions. The Court of Appeals has passs cd on and wiped out all these laws, which has offended the labor unions, and they have determined to go beyond the Legislature and the courts and get their intoierant demands incorporated in the Constitution. For this purpose they have prepared an amendment giy- ing the Legislature the power to reg uiate and fix the wages or salaries, the bours of labor, ai.d make provision for the protection, welfare, and safety of parsons employed by the State. or by any county. city. town, village or other civil division of the State. by any con- tractor or sub-contractor. performin g work. labor, or services for the State or for any county. city. town. village. or other civil division thereof r.
 A more vicious proposition has never been put before the voters of any State. It is. a direct attack on the freedom of contract, and if 1t is adopted. and laws ~ passed to carry it out, neither the cities nor their contractors will be allowed to exercise any judgment or discretion in public works. The New York Post well says:
 If this measure had originated in Kansas. we should all know how to and paternalislic would be some of inc tian pure and simple. however carefully tare of New York can an prescribe res the terms upon which our cities shall con duct th6ir business. for 1t will inevit- hour h % law and T that eoneernine % na the is bre- vaiitng rate of wages. The proposed chaE ee will. moreover. place heavy bur, mean that no city. town. or village can have its work done upon as favorable terms ae private persons, for, as has been well said, municipal workmen are intended to be paid the most and work the least" What the taxpayer is per rnitted to do individually he win be for A other taxpayers, he employs men to do their joint work. "The State will make the contract. and the city will pay the bill.'
 One might think that,it would be im- possible for any free people to vote such proposition into their constitu- tioB but there's no' telling. Voters. as we all know, are proverbially indiffer- ent about constitutional amendments. and are too much given to regarding with indifference any proposed change in the original law of their State. Add cd to this is the fact that public att tentton In New York Is SO concentrated on other matters that labor agitators are counting on rushing the amendment through without having 1t closely scru- tinized. Then, too. there is the further fact that several other amendments are to be voted on and that may help this one. If the people of New York vote for this amendment they will hardly de- serve free government.

ReformatIon of Football.

One of the most interesting scenes in Montgomery" said a citizen yesterday.

 The little chinos. both boys and girls. listen with apparent ea.gerness to the amusement of this machine. On such occasions as this many spectators can be seen lining the sidewalk look ing In on the family. It Is the city,.s first colony and the, members of it seem to be enjoying their health and a fair share of prosperity It Is safe to say that these diversions in the Chi nese colony are not indulged until the days work is completed.
 Tt Is a compliment and a true one, to the parents of the little Chinese. to say that the latter show extraordinary intelligence both in their talk and con duct. There is no impropE behavior noticed among them from xhe outside and several passersby have been heard to remark that the youngsters speak English better than nine-tenths of the native Americans. They do not, seem to inherit those ungrammatical ten- dencies common among. us all but speak with precision and a remarkable degree of correctness.
