Upstairs or At Sea Level.

Until the consulting engineers have reported to the canal commission, and the commission has reported to the President, and the President has re- ported to Congress, the kind of a canal we are to dig at Panama will remain unsettled. It will remain un- settled until Congress acts, for Con gross is the arbiter when appropria- tions are to be made.
 The consulting engineers are about to go to Panama, and until they do their conclusions will be withheld. Until they have gone over the canal zone their opinions will be without weight, for it is not matter that can be settled by theory. Borings and ac- tuaI measurements and personal in- spection are needed. The Bohio dam to be built to control the waters of the Chagres river is still a bugbear, but engineers say it Is not beyond the power and skill of modern science.
 No one knows what the Presidents views are concerning the canal, but just at present it is believed all in authority favor a sea level canal, and public sentiment runs in a like direc- tion provided the engineers do not put the expenditure in time and money too higI. Until, however, Congress meets and acts we must be content to wait not knowing whether the canal Is to be lock or sea level The most we do know about it is that the question will be determined in the long session that will be begun on the first Monday of December next.

Golnu Back Home.

T was in Asheville two weeks ago., said G. W. Kraft at the Hillman hotel yes- terday afternoon. "and was told that it was impossible to get a sleeping car berth to New Orleans. The agent told me that every available berth had been engaged for a week ahead and that extra coaches were being used to handle the traffic.
 '"The information was sought with view of getting as near home as pos sble. but I had to ride in another coach to Montgomery. Of course I would have liked very much to have continued the journey but it would have probably stop- ped my travelling for at least six weeNs The quarantine is powerful things, ana for that reason I have not been able to see the people at home since tn middle of August.

both questions is apt to be unsettling in it's general influence.
 Meanwhile however, there are no in- dieations of reaction from the ideal asri- cultural, industrial and commercial con- dltions that have been current and that have unquestionably been discounted to measurable degree by the current high range of quotations for securities, Bank clearings, railroad earnings and all the usual standards of measurement reflect continuance of the wave of prosperity. The crops have been secured and frosts from now on, so far as corn is concerned, will be powerless for harm; and the out look for cotton has improved to the ex- tent that the usual heavy decline in con- dition during the months of July, August and September have not this year taken place The government figures of con- dition show. for instance, decline of but 3.7 points from August; last year the de- cline In the same period was 15.S; in 1903 1t was 14.6; in 1902 23.6 and in 1901, 15.S points.

QUALIFIED APPROVAL.

From the Selma Times.
 The Times is in hearty accord with Congressman Bowies idea to build up the public schools of Alabama, where the white boys and girls of those not able to send to school can get a common school education There are thousands of white children throughout the Fourth Congressional district in whom Congress- man Bowie takes an especial pride, and he has tied his constituents on to him by still stronger ties in his article for the betterment of the public schools. But MT. Bowie was unfortunate in advocating an extra session of the legislature to bring about his object. We believe he is perfectly sincere in figuring out sur plus in the treasury. from his method of bookkeeping, but his method and the method by which the state accounts are kept are widely different and we prefer the old system, which we know to be safe and conservative, to Congressman Bowie's system of bookkeeping, which lays it open to the suspicion of dealing too much in futures. If Congressman Bowie had not hitched that extra session of the legis- lature onto his public school proposition. 1t would have great many more ad- herents in this section of Alabama.

 Alexander City Outlook: While there are some things about President Roose- welt which we do not admire, we are grat- flied that he has the courage to come south In the face of the yellow fever and in spite of the protests of that element up north who don't want President to be on terms too friendly toward the south. Teddy has head of his own, and a way of using almost every opportunity to demonstrate the fact.
 Anniston Hot Blast: It is gratifying 70 See that President Roosevelt comes out with a flat foot preference for a sea level canal at Panama. With all of his accomplishments, the President is not an engineer, and therefore he is obliged to submit to the judgment of his chosen advisers on technical questions, but he is broad-gauged man and he sees that no makeshft is going to meet the re- quirements of the situation in respect to that canal or the wishes of the American people. We American people are accus- toned to have the best, and that is good enough for us.

TERRIBLE BURDEN OF WAR.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 One-eighth of the human race, 1t is es- timated, has been killed in war. The maintenance of the armaments of the world, land and naval, costs at the pres ent time about s1. 200 OOOo,Ooo a year. A first class battleship (s65OO.OoO) costs more than the valuation of all the land and the ninety-four buildings of Harvard univer- sity plus all the land and buildings of both the Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. Our present naval programme calls for the construction of at least twenty more such battleships The expenditures on our navy in 1886 was about $14000,000. In 1904 1t was over $103, ,000, ,0O0, an increase of 700 per cent fin eighteen years
 The present cost of our navy per year is more than s6 per family. In 1886 1t was only about s1.25 per family. Our war with Spain and the Philippines in seven years cost us about $1.0OO0OO,000. Our present naval programme, if carried out will call for the expenditure of about $20O ,0000O0 a year for naval maintenance. Our total military expenditures for the year 1904 including war, navy and pension items, was over $360, ,0O0, ,000. or over two-thirds of our total national expenditures

Prouress of the Primary.

Next spring the electors of Illinois will go to the polls and select suc- cessor to Senator Cullom, whose term expires in March, 1907. They will go to the polls, not at the call of party or politicians, but they will go under the provisions of a comprehensive primary law that includes United States senators. Under that law each party will instruct it's respective leg islators whom to vote for when the legislature acts on the matter. "The fiexibility of our political institutions is such" says the Philadelphia Public Ledger, "as to permit the election of United States senators practically by the people by virtue of state laws au- tlorizing the voters to signify their choice of senators at party primary elections"
 Illinois has such a law, and so has Wisconsin, and so will other states have similar laws, but as a matter of fact no law is needed when public sentiment demands a primary. The demand is so plain in the south that no cotton state lets it go unheeded. Even Tennessee is falling into line.
 But the primary is needed also in the boss-ruled states-in New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania--and there cannot be full reform in the Senate until the system is extended to Ohio and all states east of 1t, in cluding Rhode Island. The system Is gaining ground yearly, and after a while the convention will be shelved forever. It should be disinfected be- fore it is put away.

The colors grew deeper and richer, until the golden luster was transformed Into storm cloud, full of finest lightning, which leap ed in dazzling zigzags all around and over the city.

Interest in Football.

 "The game yesterday between Ala bama and Vanderbilt was the first of the season in which Birmingham peop,e are particularly interested. Everyone met last night inquired about the game and there was much disappointment that the Alabama boys were beaten.
 "l h. public, at least those nterestel in football, seldom get tired of game for the reason that they are never sold, and chance always remains for either team to forge ahead. There are many old college boys and others interested in the game in Birmingham and I pre- dioi that there will be a record breaking attendance at the games to be played here this fall.

YOUNG MEN AS DREssMAkERs.
In Paris, at Least, They Monopolize
 This Profitable Profession.

Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd writing of "The Artist Dressmaker of Paris" in the oc- tober Everybody's, says:
 Attractive young men stand at the head of many of the most famous dress making houses.
 'Doeuillet is one of the most typical of the group. He is housed in one of the historic palaces of the Place Vendome, where he has the most superb establish ment in Paris. The work turned out har- monizes with the sting. Elaborate con- factions are Doeuillets speciality, his prices are monumental and his clientele is made up from what one of his rivals has called the swell mob meaning the rich and extravagant as extinguished from the ex- elusive and chic.
 But if one speaks of Doeuillet to one of his patrons, it Is not of his frocks one is likely to hear, but of his beaux yeux- An Adonis, ma chere. Such manner, such figure, such eyes!-Ah!

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews in his Wall street letter of Saturdays date says:
 ''The stock market situation from the money standpoint is one that cannot be too closely watched and one that sug- guests the utmost conservatism in mar ket operations. Fluctuations promise to be sufficiently active to constitute a good trading market, with opportunities for quick profits on either account In addi- ton to the money situation other more general considerations point to the desr- ability of conservatism. President Roose- welt has, for instance, this week inti- mated his continued determination of securing, if possible. federal supervision of railroad rates; and there are good indications that tariff agitation is to as- sume importance as stock market in- fiuence. I still have reason to believe that whatever action be finally taken in both these instances will be sane in char acter. and that such rate legislation as shall be ultimately enacted will not be confiscatory.

Good Story Related by Representative

 Representative Champ Clark tells of an amusing story in connection with the inauguration of Thomas T. Crittenden as governor of Missouri. cermoney attended with more frills than any other In the state since the civil war.
 According to MT. Clark there were on this occasion military organizations and bands galore, and special carloads of peo- ple came from Kansas City and St. Louis to witness the pageant. Captain Hawley of St. Louis, was grand marshal of the day. Lieutenant-Governor Brockmeyer, a quaint character, was presiding over the senate; and as he awaited notice of the time for the senate to proceed to the hall of the house of representatives where the two bodies In joint session were to receive the new governor, he lolled back in his chair on the presidents stand and smoked big corn pipe with the utmost nonchalance.
 The Senate lobby was crowded, and senators were in their seats, on the tip- tie of expectancy, for the strains of mar tial music could be heard from all df- rections. At this juncture a figure in a glittering and brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd and marched half way up the aisle. This was Marshal of the Day Hawley Drawing his sword he made profound military salute and an- nounced with much pomposity:
 MT President, the governor of Mis- souri and his staff now approach!'
 Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Lieutenant-Governor Brockmeyer responded:
 Well, let him come; dot is vot we are l,z fl,,
