THE sPRourING sEAsoN.

"The sprouting time of Presidential candidates Is at hand. muses The Charleston Post. Yes, the glad Spring time. the growing Summer, the crisp Autumn and the chilly Winter, are all seasons of candidate sprouting, and many of them will be in evidence dur ing the next three years. Some will come up Joyously, flourish like a green grasshopper for brief period. and then take a header for political obscurity. Others will endure for a season and they, too, will turn up their toes and always in season, and when one is har- vested another is ripening for the sickle. Many are called, but few are chosen, and many think they are called when they only hear the faint adum- brations of their own ambitions. It is one war in which no conscription is necessary. for volunteers are plentiful and recruits are never wanting.
 No doubt each member of the Cabi- net thinks himself in the line of suc- cession. Then there Is Fairbanks to be reckoned with. He is now second in command, and expects to be promoted. And there are Republican politicians from Maine to California who think themselves exactly fitted for the posi- tion- But suppose Roosevelt himself decides to keep it, will not the ambi- tions of all other Republican aspirants wither in the bud7 True. he may so conduct himself and oflce that he will be a dead duck with his own Party and then again he may manage In such a way as to be invincible, in which case it Is a tolerably safe prediction that he will not have to be lassoed to get him to stand and be nominated.
 Of course, there will also be a cloud of aspirants among the Democrats, for It is sprouting season with them as well as with the others. There are many of them, we judge. who could easily be induced to accept a nomina- ton, and who already feel symptoms of growing premonition that they are It. And the other parties. and alleged parties. will be able to add something

USES FOR THE SENATE.

The Senate has been the recipient of many jibes and jabs of late from those who. for one reason or another, have cause of complaint against it, but The New Bedford Standard comes to it's de- fence and declares that that body lis now agreed to be of some value by many of those who have been criticiz- ing it most ferociously, because it has the sense or the honesty. or both, to kill the provision voted by the House for a mileage steal. Had there been but one branch of Congress. as in their moments of irritation with the Senate some are in the habit of saying there should be the country would have been treated to the spectacle of the ex- traction from the public treasury of a considerable amount of money for which no equivalent had been given by the Congressman who took it. The principle was precisely that of the con- structive recess which was invented by somebody in order to give the Presi- dent a chance to make appointments which otherwise he could not make.
 
 thought they saw, an opportunity to draw mileage both ways on account of a session of Congress which came with out break from a preceding session. The Senate, mindful of the recent re- port of it's Committee on Judiciary. to the effect that when the Constitution and laws say recess they mean some- sno apA nf Aop oP he e1iv tion. promptly excised the provision. And as a result, 1t is getting praises in generous quantities. We do not see that a single sotion either justifies or condemns the existence of the Senate; but 1t Is a good thing that now and then something happens to impress upon the minds of the people in an em- phatic way that there is good reason for having one.''
 One expression in this extract is rather amusing, where The Standard refers to the constructive recess as Does not our contemporary know that the President of its party was the in- ventor of that before unheard-of sub terfuge? He wanted to do something for which there was no constitutional way. so he invented a way of his own. and one which no President before him would have even thought of resorting to. And, so far as that goes, If the Republican members of the House fol- lowed their Presidents lead we shouldn't feel very much surprise. They naturally reasoned that if he could find a recess broad enough to make appointments in they could squeeze 8 claim for mileage into the same vacancy. It was a case of Hike master. like man," and those who con- demn the Congressman should be con- sistent.

KURoPATKIN RESIGNS.
Says He Needs Physical and Mental
 Rest.

London, March 13.--The St. Peters, burg correspondent of The Times says:
 General Kuropatkin has asked the Emperor's gracious permission to hand over his command, alleging that he is in urgent need of physical and men, tai rest.
 T learn on the best authority that Japan twice has approached Russia through informal channels on the sub ject of peace negotiations. but that In each case the proposal failed because Japan demanded an indemnity and on that account Russia would not get the arship in the Pacific for twenty-five years.
 The Japanese insistence on idemnity convinces the Russian government that her pecuninary resources are exhausted and that by continuing the war only a few months longer, Russia will get better terms.
 When Kuropatkin heard of the cap ture of Kiousan on March 10, and rea- Iized he had delayed retreat too long. one desperate chance remained. It was to sacrifice his artillery by mass ing the batteries so as to paralyze the enemys fire. The Russian gunners did their duty and saved what is left of Kuropatkin's armies"

 This announcement was made today by Frank Buchanan, President of the National Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, who Is here in connection with the hoisting engi- neers' strike. MT. Buchanan says President Roosevelt last week while in conference with a number of promi- nent leaders gave consent for repre- sentatives of the unions to go among the Government workmen for the pur- pose of discussing unionism. but no force Is to be used.

The Negro's Duty.

Blrmingha NeWs.
 Much depends upon the negro himself if he would prosper. There is a dis position among many negroes to assist others in their efforts to escape punish ment for violation of the laws. This Is all wrong, and does much harm to the interest of the race. The negro can not expect full protection and jus tice unless he is willing to cooperate in the observance of the laws from which he would seek protection. He must do his part and behave himself. If he will do this the whites will aid him.

TRAFFIC NEARLY NORMAL.
Subway and Elevated Trains Running
 With Regularity.


 New York, March 12.-Though traf- fic conditions were somewhat better on the subway and elevated railway today the service was far from being nor nal.
 At times the elevated trains ran reg ularly and again there were long de- lays. The service in the subway was better. There were a few minor accidents as a result of the inexperience of the motormen and guards. The company has more men at work and officials were busy during the day examining old em- ployes seeking reinstatement.
 A joint committee representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive. Engineers and the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees of America appeared before the joint executive committees of both locals tonight and demanded that they be told whether to continue the strike or go back to work. The executive committee told the men to wait until Monday. when a definite reply would be made.

The Hunter Mystery.

TWO more arrests have been made and Sheriff Blackwell and Deputy Sher- if Townsend believe that they will have a solution of the Slim" Hunter mystery by tomorrow. Deputy Town send has additional evidence that bears out his theory that the negro was mur- dered by "crap shooters" and he Is to- day near the scene of the supposed murder.
 The two men arrested late last night are Jule Harris and Tobe Edwards. said to have been with Bailey Lark and Willie White at the time of Hun ter's mysterious disappearance. Lark and White have been arrested and all four of the negroes are in the County jail. They tell conflicting stories.
 Deputy Townsend today received a report that a woman living in the viz einity of the place where Hunter is believed to have been murdered, knows of the crime and has told a straight story about how Hunter met his death. MT. Townsend immediately left for Valley Creek to talk with the woman.
 The last seen of Hunter was last Monday afternoon when he went with Edwards, Lark. White, Harris and pos sibly others to an enchanted spot of Valley Creek to gamble with dice. He is known to have been a professional gambler and 1t is believed from what the negroes say that he won the money and was murdered by his part uers in the game.
 A rumor was in circulation this af- ternoon to the effect that Hunters body had been found buried under a. brush heap with his throat cut from ear to ear. but an investigation by Deputy Townsend proved 1t to be in- correct.
 The woman who was said to have known of the killing was found. but she knew nothing that would throw light on the mystery.
