Der of formidable line of battleships
of a type which probably will startIe
the world.
The details of the construction of
the vessels remain to be worked out.
but in addition to those which will be
built in the United States it is quite
likely that a yard will be constructed
at a Baltic port to be manned by Rus
sian Workmen.

RoyALTY's VACATION.
Emueror and Empress Having EnSey
 able Time in Finland

Emperor and Empress Having EnSes-
 able Time in Finland.
 Helsingfors. Finland, Sept. 2i-Ine members of the imperial family on board the imperial yacht Polar star are thoroughly enjoying their vacation trip in Finnish waters around Viporg' Receptions, official visits to the ports. etc. have been varied by many fishing and hunting excursions during which the Emperor on several occasions met parties of peasants who cheered hlm and told him he ought to come often, so that he might learn to know the Finnish peasant. A ieputation repre- senting the local farmers and ftsher- men brought gifts to the Emperor ana Empress consisting of farm products and fresh fish. and the fishermen who were engaged to assist in the imperial fishing excursions have been presented with gold and silver watches by their majesties. The yacht will remain here for two or three days longer and 1t is probable that the imperial party will not reach Peterhof until the latter part of the week.
 Large forces of troops have already been drafted into Finland. over 1,20o men arrived at Helsingfors today to reinforce the garrison at Sveaborg, which is adjacent to Helsingfors, and garrisons at other points have also been reinforced by between 700 and 1000 men.

AT IT AGAIN.

Again the two Carolinas have up the oft recurring and not-yet- decided qnes- tion of the birthplace of Andrew Jack son. We are told that seven cities claimed Homer's birthplace, but in the present case there are two States which are and have long been at dag gers points as to where Old Hickory was when he first opened his eyes and took a squint at the world in which he was to play such an important part.
 The matter has reached an acute stage now. because the Mecklenburg, N. C., Chapter of the D. A. R. is prepar- ing to erect monument to the great soldier and statesman at the place of his birth in the old North State, as they understand it. Thereupon we have a renewal of South Carolina pro- tests, and The Columbia State tells the Daughters that they are likely to commit a lasting historical blunder" if they plant the monument in their State. .. s...:@..
 This brings The Charlotte Observer bounding into the ring in defence of the SSls' At NNeS NHNh'' St' the back and tells them to hump them selves and get their monument ready. It asserts on what it considers good authority that Andy was born in what is now Union County. but which was then part of Mecklenberg County, safely and permanently anchored in North Carolina
 That ought to settle 1t, but 1t prob ably will not although The Observer brings up what appears to be sound evidence that it is correct The South Carolinians will doubtless claim that somebody has been burgling the birth place. or that the State line isn't In the right place, or will produce other good grounds for their contention.
 We see but one way to settle the | trouble. Let the two States agree to form county covering all the disputed territory and call it Jacksonberg. Then 1t will be in both States and neither can claim a monopoly of birthplace
 Unless they do something of that na- ture the contention is likely to go on till the crack O doom.

CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.
One Weeks Use of Hyomei Did More
 Than Six Months Treatment by
 ... Specialists.

In the treatment of deafness which is often a result of catarrh, Hyomei acts almost immediately upon the tn- flamed membrane and the hearing be- gins to return at once. few days treatment will bring relief, and in three or four weeks, according to the se- verity of the case, a cure will be ac- compIished.
 Miss Meeks of Mattewan. N. Y, says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful. l have used it but short time and see great change in my condition. My hearing is improving rapidly, and had no idea 1 would improve so rapidly in so short time. My breath which was very offensive to myself and others, has lost its bad odOr entirely. l have spent a great deal oc money with ca tarrh specialists, and can truly say that six months of their treatment is not equal to one month of Hyomei.'
 l.. c, Fowler is selling Hyomei upon the unusual plan of agreeing to re- turn the money if the medicine does not cure.
 A complete outfit costs only s1.0o, and consists of an inhaler that can he carried in the vest pocket. medi- cine dropper. and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler will last a lifetime anu there is enough Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Additional bottles of Hyomei can be procured for 80 cents. Compare this small expense with the fees charged by specialists. and then remember that if Hyornei does not cure, Mr. Fowler will return your money.
 What other treatment for catarrh and catarrhal colds is sold in this way2

A LIVE QUESTION.

The question of the restoration of the army canteen promises to be a live one when Congress assemblies. That a great mistake was made when they were abolished seems now beyond dis pute. Congress suffered itself carried away by a sentiment. and acted by the advice and solicitation of those who knew very little about the subject.
 The truth is that this Is not really a question of temperance or lntemper- ance. It is a question of whether can- teens at army posts are not more pro- motive of temperance and good order than the reverse. It resolves itself down to a choice of evils. admitting that a military canteen is an evil, and we ought to be governed, as Congress ought to be governed. by the testimony of those who are best qualified to judge. With unfsiling monotony we have found that where an army post is established. if it has no military canteen it will soon be surrounded hv dives and deus of the vilest type. ana tho soldiers will pStronize them. Ii is the practically unanimous Judgment of tiie department commanders that the abolition of the canteen has been an
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-09-25

injury to discipline and to the health and morals of the army. This tssti- mcny comes from widely separated posts, and they are all of one mina.
 Congress should look at this subject from a common sense standpoint. Con- gressmen should not suffer themselves carried away by appeals from ultra temperance advocates, male or female, who reason from their own sentiments and have no practical knowledge of the subject However honest and sincere they may be, and however anxious they may be to promote the cause of temper anee, their arguments and solicitations should not be allowed to prevail against facts, and against the evidence of those who are not only in the best position to know but who are most de- sirons for the good of the army. In short, if the canteen is best for the soldiers, as army officers testify, then 1t should be re-estabIished, regardless of any outery that may be raised against it.

MAYoR wEAvER,s FIGHT.

The New York Mail expresses itself as being confident, or at least very Hopeful, that Philadelphia Is going to he relieved of the vile machine gang that has so long been preying on its wiaaaa, but that Is not sure thing. by any sneans. The New York Times says of it:
 geme of the worst thieves and cor ruptionists in the whole world have had their grip on that city for years. Mayor Weaver, who was of their own choosing. turned against them and, a great reform upheaval has resulted has been in a large measure broken. Now the ring has reassembled its forces for tine faiI campaign. and a score or more members of the Union League Club an- organization of high standing and much respectability in the City of Philadelphia. have shown that they gre not. ashamed to lend their names and corruptiouists in the campaign. That shows what old-fasbioned parttsanship will do.
 It shows what partisanship will do, and it shows how Republican machine politicians will return ito their wal lowing in the mire," after having given evidence of intention to do better. Mayor Weaver has received much en- couragement from the better class of Republicans in Philadelphia, but, as The Times shows, some of them have weakened and it is hard to tell how many Of them will fall by the wayside and llne up with the machine before the contest Is settled. ."4 x.
 Few cities of the Union have fur nished richer picking for gangs of un- scrupulous thieves and boodlers than Philadelphia. It had reached a point where practically no contract was honestly made and carried out. and where no public money was honestly disbursed. From the greatest contract to the smallest gratis and rake offs were the regular order. and no one ex- pected to get a contract or concession without making liberal contribution to the gang which ruled the city. An honest contract, honestly carried out would have been a shock to those who were enFiching themselves by the most infamous practices that could be re- sorted to.
 The battle is on, and we have as yet seen no reason to doubt that Mayor Wsaver Is in deadly earnest in his fight for honest municipal govern nent He has gone at it and kept at it in such way as to leave no ques- ton of his sincerity. He intends to siturn the rascals out" to purge the city of graft and corruption, and to give the people clean administration of the affairs of the city in all the de- paytmants. If he wins 1t will be one of the most signal triumphs of honesty over dishonesty that any city has seen at least of late date.
 Weaver has had hard fight and the end Is not yet. If all the honest Re- pubaieans of the city will join in and assist him he will succeed, but when as The Times shows, they are showing a disposition to take sides with the old ring and probably build up new one we must confess that it makes the Is sue doubtful, and makes the Mayors task much harder. It Is the old curse of partisanship that had rather see the evil triumph than forsaka the party In that Hes Philadelphia's shame and her great danger.

Under the heading. Have Wages Reached the Limit?" The Brooklyn Eagle says:
 The question Is asked nowadays II wages have not reached the top ngure, and if farther advances, however stren- uously demanded, will not result In a commercial collapse and restoration of wage scale such Tsn as was in ySsass as increased wages are largely offset by the heightened cost of living which IS a direct result of the Increase. The more in order to make his goods must of necessity charge 10 per cent more for them, er go bankrupt, and e the part with more of his wage in order to buy these goods for his family. He can possibly profit on a narrower mar gin, but in such a case he will find ms credit shrunken, and if he requires the aii of outside capital that will pc doled, if at all. in cautious measure, Capital is already timid, and with req, tSe labor that might be employed at fair rate in some of the projected un- dertakings is not employed at all be- cause the possibilities of pront are not obvious under the scale which IS oe- manded.
 There Is much of interest in this to unionists who are continually clamor- ing and striking for higher wages. One of their stock reasons for the de- mand Is that the cost of living is much higher than it formerly was This is true, but may not the argument cut both ways. as The Eagle intimates? II the manufacturers of cloth and leather, and the tailors and shoemakers, must pay high prices for labor. is 1t not certainty that the workingman must pay higher for clothing and shoes? And will not the same rule apply to the merchant and the grocer? To go still further, if the contractor must pay high wages to his employees he will be compelled to charge more for build ing a house, and then the owner of the house will charge higher rents.
 This argument holds good in every department of living. We are not ar guing against good wages for laboring men, for competent and faithful workman in any trade deserves good pay just as a good lawyer or doctor does. We are for good pay for good work. but we think those who are so insistent in demanding higher wages should not confuse the issues. If they say they must have higher pay because they have to pay so much n,ore for all the necessities of life, those who supply those necessities will say that they sell higher because it costs more to produce them. and that it costs more to pro- duce them because they have to pay more for labor. The argument is two- edged, it strikes us.
