War on Lake Erie.

We do not own the Great Lakes We own only half of each one, Lake Michigan excepted. The rest are on the frontier, and Canada owns as much of Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior as we do. The line has been drawn, so to speak, and each coun- try knows where it is and What it means.
 The American fishermen in Lake Erie refuse to respect the boundary line, and when they go over to the Canadian side and attempt, by the use of nets, to gather in the Canadian fish they are apt to get also rounds of shots from the Canadian cruiser Wig liant It serves them right. They have no right to fish in Canada with out Canada's consent. They can stay in American waters and entice across the line Canadian fish, but they can not lawfull.- go into Canadian waters without frs obtaining a permit from Canada.
 The trouble is well understood. and it has no friction or international pol itics to offer. American fishermen will De taught to stay on their own side of the line, and if they do not they will be reduced to splinters by the Cana dian cruiser Vigilant, which takes es- pecial good care to limit the subse- quent chase and shots to the Canadian side of the boundary line.

cred in. A fund of five millions will control my election, especially when the other s!de has comparatively small campaign fund.
 The statement that the money in question was contributed by the New York Life in order to safeguard the as sets of that company is the yeriest pre- tense. It Is too thin, too transparent, for even consideration. The truth Is,
 " all street and the republicans have formed 8 partnership, and Nelson w. AlGrich has been made supreme boss of the unholy combine. While that combine remains in power the republic is in a state of suspension, and we have in its stead a plutocracy viler in some respects that the Russian autoc- racy or any other known government, simply because 1t IS based on a scheme to let the few TOD the many by indi- rect taxation and monopoly.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

j. T. Dickman in the New York Sun.
 For the supervision of the construction of the Panama canal the United States needs a class of men satisfying the fol- lowing requirements:
 | Must be willing to obey implicitly the orders and instructions received from Washington and from their immediate superiors.
 g. Must have the force of character and experience to enforce their own orders
 8, A6est be above the suspicion of graft
 Must not be subject to 'cold feet" in time of disease or other danger
 D. Must have a good knowledge of en- gineering.
 There Is one class of men In the Uni- ted States fulfilling these conditions namely, the engineer corps of the United States. Are there others?
 For the economical and honest construc- ton of the canal the engineer corps of the army, which in the history of more than a century shows only one case of embezzlement Capt. .. M. CarteT is eminently well fitted. It was increased by Congress early in 1904 on the plea of its utilization on canal work.

Wealth In the South.

It was said few years ago that Ala bama did not possess millionaire, and Georgia and Mississippi were sup posed to be in like condition. But Francis M. Coler banker, died last week in Atlanta, leaving an estate val ued at $5,00O, ,OO0. He had often been recognized as wealthy man, but even his neighbors were surprised when it became know that he died the richest man in Georgia-possibly the richest in the cotton states.
 It seems that shortly after the Civil war he bought several hundred acres lying between St. Paul and Minneap- oils. The two cities have grown to- gether, and the purchase made by the late Mr Coker forty years ago has be- come very valuable. It is worth mil lions. This makes the case somewhat exceptional, and yet southern men who accumulate wealth are seeking invest ments in all parts of the country.
 The estate left by the dead million aire will speedily be repeated through out the south, and the section once so helpless financially will rapidly get on its feet, and be able to take care of its own interests and other interests be- sides. The wealth of the country is spread and diffused, and the south will speedily have its share Francis M. Coker certainly had his share of the national wealth.

Judue Parker's Defeat.

Former Chief Justice Alton B. Par ker discusses the Wall street cam paign contribution in plain terms. The conspiracy embraces the republican party and Privilege in every form. The alliance is deep and far-reaching. Privilege agrees to keep the republic ans in power, and in return the repub- licans agree to protect Privilege all along the line. This vile and demor- alizing combine grew out of Dingley- ism-that great device for enabling the few to rob the many in the name of law. although without constitutional warrant. It is impossible to correct, or even check, the evil that is under mining the popular will, and, there fore. the republic, while Dingleyism endures. and it will endure until the average man among the robbed be- comes intelligent enough to see and understand indirect taxation.
 The object of the present legislative investigation Is to secure facts as basis for legislation at Albany next winter. But the present legislature is strongly republican, and the next, per haps, will be, and Privilege of the Wall street sort will control it. No legisla- ton of value can come out of the re- publican party, because it Is in part nership with privilege.
 Nor can District Attorney Jerome accomplish much. The courts in states like New York and New Jersey are the servants of Privilege. The entire subject really goes over until the peo- ple see the effects of indirect taxa tion and rise up to drive the dominant party out of power.

Campaign Contributions.

There is not an intelligent man in or ou. of life insurance company who can conscientiously claim that the cleo tion fast fall of Alton B. Parker to the presidency would have in any manner endangered or depreciated the assets of the New York Life Insurance com pany; and yet that company paid s4s.- 702.50 to elect MT. Parkers opponent, and did not pay cent to the demo- cratic managers. Judge Parker would have made a conservative president, and all intelligent men knew he would, and yet the New York Life took near ly $50,000 from the pockets of pol icy holders to swell the republican corruption fund.
 It is believed other corporate inter ests eentered in Wall street contrib uted 10 the republican campaign fund In like proportion, and that fund of euAy i've million dollars was gath

IN HOTEL LO8BIES
To Open Theater.


 TAI c. Field and his minstrel show will open the new Ellks theatre at Iaila7 dega October 8, and it is just another illustration of the popularity of mooerh minstrelsy" said Walt M. Leslie who IS in Birmingham as advance agent or Fields minstrels
 'I have just received a letter from MT. Fields" said MT. Leslie last night ana he gave a brief account of the surprise party given him by number of Wash ington newspaper men in Richmond. Field has an act that is burlesaue OH the celebrated Grfdiron club of Washing ton and all of the characters are made up to represent noted writers. The Wash- ington boys, something like one hundred in number, decided to get up an excuf- sion and march in on him at Richmond. The rest can be imagined if you know anything about the way Field receives his friends. Nothing but a banquet would satisfy him on this occasion, and he writes that the boys behaved as well as could be expected under the circum- stances.
 MT. Field was very much pleased when the Talladega Ellks selected him to open the new theatre, and that it will be an event in that city's history. Mir. Field Is a very strong Elk himself and is never happier than when sitting in some club room talking about Anderson man of Fields own creation whose doings have been exploited by the famous min strel for over twenty years.

Picture Postal Cards.

The art of letter writing is in dan ger of extinction, while the mails are burdened with souvenir postal cards that convey no news whatever. The Boston postoffice reports the recent handling of 25,000 of the chromo cards in a day. The fad reaches from the Yellowstone to the Zambesi, both ways around the world
 Friend no longer writes to friend in a confidential, gossipy manner; he or she simply mails picture postal card and a hastily drawn signature. To say that such a thing is equivalent to personal letter Is to islander Horace Walpole, to say the least.
 Nor is that all. The village post master Is kept busy looking at highly colored pictures of mountains, lakes and palaces. He neglects even poll tics. He forgets gossips and he also forgets the patrons of his office who do not receive picture postal cards. Hc is knee-deep in chromos. He Is overworked, and unless the govern ment increases his salary he may re- sign. inc task is too much for ms energies and worn muscles.. me problem. too, alstresses MT. Cortelyou, who does net know how to meet 1t and q feat the new craze.
 This new form of popular aberra- tion is worldwide. It rages as Dadly in Japan or Hawaii as it does in the United States. Reports from Tlpet have not come in, but no doubt the Tibetans have fallen victims to art In its new postal form, for the British are carrying into that once happy land all the eccentricities of outside civi- lization.
