Great Is New York.

Boston Globe.
 The general opinion seems to be that New York Is not only becoming the commercial and financial centre of the world, but the head of population as
 The Federal census of 1900 gave New York a population of 3,437, 2o2. The federation of churches now insists that 1t Is not less than 3.945,9O7.
 London, long the metropolis of the world, was in 1901 credited with 4,- h3S.541 inhabitants. By this time it should have passed the 5,0O0.000 mark.
 As New York now clearly stands se.- Ond in the world in point of popula- tion, 1t will probably in another decade have passed London. It Is safe to say at any rate that by 1915 New York will rank as the largest city In the world Many estimate 1t to be already the financial center.
 Of course If New York reaches this position in the population of the worlds cities it will be largely due to immigration, though none the less 9 matter of local pride.
 Carthage, Rome, Vienna, Antwerp. Amsterdam and London have each been In their turn the metropolis of the world. It is but natural that New York should yet hold the place, and perchance 1t will finally be some great city of the West.
 Whether great cities ultimately make for the most human happiness Is a much disuuted question. They have more churches and schools. 1t Is trua. but at the same time more crime and more prisons.

COMPLIMENTS ARE EXCHANGED.
Commander Dillingham; and Presiden
 MOcnlea Have a NeAtinr

Commander Dillingham; and President Morales Have n Meeting. t.
 San Domingo, Jan. 18.--Commander Albert c. Dillingham;, U. S. N, yester- day presented at an official reception his credentials as special commissioner | to Santo Domingo.
 | Addressing President Morales he ex- 1 pressed the desire of the American Gov ernment to assist the Dominican Gov ernment to re-establish its credit, main- tain order, promote the public wealth and realize the object for which the President of the United States had ap- pointed him special commissioner, namely, to give, in conjunction with Minister Dawson, the Dominican Gov ernment advice as to how these ends may be attained, stating that he was charged to express President Roose- velt's earnest wishes for the prosper ity and progress of this country and for President Morales personal well fare.
 President Morales responded in cor dial terms. He said the peace, order and credit of the republic were the constant occupation of himself and his cabinet. Although he had full faith he should succeed in the undertaking for the Government and people, the cordial offer of the President of the United States would contribute to the reali- zation of the ideal mentioned.
 The appointment of Commander Dill lingham, continued President Morales, to work in harmony with Minister Dawson was received by his Govern ment with approval. He requested Commander Dillin gham to express to President Roosevelt the desire of the generous, honest Dominioan people.
 Commander Dillingham; has met with an exceedingly corditl reception by the present Government and people, his &C., tions during the last revolution in as- sisting to restore order being accepted as guarantee to the people of desires of the American Government towards the Dominican Republic.
 The mission of Commander 'Dilling- ham will be met cordially by the Gov ernment and people and he country will doubtless benefit greatly by the friendly assistance of the Government at Washington.

a lifetime of experience and study of this question. Now, let this thought take possession of you for all time: Until you are thoroughly organized you need not hope for any relief from your oppressors. or any benefits that will amount to anything.
 The benefits to be had from organi- zation are too numerous to be discussed in this letter. 1t car be used, not only for your protection, but for the promo tion and betterment of every line of your work.
 I wish to assure you that nothing would give me more pleasure than to see you reap a rich reward for your honest toll, and If at any time I can assist you in organizing I shall be glad to do so to the extent that my duties will permit.
 In closing 1 wish to state that be- lieve there Is no better medium of pub lication in the Stae through which you nay promote your interests than The Advertiser. Any one of the ar. ticles 1t publishes on agriculture Is well worth years subscription. Ev. cry farmer in the State ought to take 1t and read 1t. Wm. R. Sawyer.

SHE TALKS roo MICH.


 Again we are told that Mrs. Chadwick will have a big story to tell when the time comes" If she would talk less, or more to the point, the public might have more confidence in her. It Is al- together probable that there are many things she could tell which would make the hair stand, like quiils on the fret full porcupine," on the heads of men who would give big money to keep her lips sealed.
 But this woman, who has cut such a broad swath in financial circles, and who has furnished so much for the newspapers to talk about, will learn that something more than her bare statement will be required if she Is to obtain credence. There are men i'm. plicated, whether as copartners with her or as her victims. who have both money and influence, and it is hardly to be supposed that they will not make a determined fight if they are attacked. Unless she can bring forward proof of any charges she may make she would do we'll not to make them. If. on the contrary. she makes a clean breast of 1t, tells all she knows and submits the evidence. we may expect some decided Iy interesting developments. All the same. she seems to be dealing too much in threats and promises of what she proposes to tell when the time comes.

Ax uSrBnHsrrxe PUBLICATION.

The Advertiser prints in another place bulletin from the United States Department Of Agriculture. which should be of interest to Alabama farm CTS, as it deals with the tobacco crop. This bulletin is devoted to cigar-leaf tobacco, and the soils peculiarly fitted for growing that kind of tobacco. and 1t will be seen that Investigations and experiments so far made show S2.000 acres of this. orangeburg sandy loam. as 1t is designated, in Perry County aons. It is hardly probable that this soil Is confined to Perry County, and Investigation may show that in other sections there is soil favorable to the profitable cultivation of this plant.
 But even if the Perry County area Is the only place where the best grade of this tobacco can be grown, 1t Is by no means an insignificant matter. At 500 pounds per acre, the s2.o0o acres would produce nearly 25.ooo tons. if all the land were devoted to it,, which would not be done. of course, but the figures show what would be possible Another thing brought out is that the quality of the leaf grown in Perry County is only slightly Inferior to that of Texas. which seems to be the best of the Southern products.
 Without | protesting any expert knowledge of tobacco growing, we must still insist that there cannot be such a difference in soil. climate or other con- ditiens as will account for the fact that Kentucky produces very nearly one thousand times as much tobacco as Alabama. We have not before us a late report, but the Government figures for the crop of 1902 put Alabama's crop at about 2eo,oO0 pounds and Ken tucky's at 2s7,ooo,ooO. as we now re- call the figures. As we stated on a former occasion, the fact that Alabama is better cotton State than Kentucky, it has something to do with it, and soil and climate may have their influence. but we are not prepared to admit that there is any necessity for such a wide gap between the production in the two States.
 There Is another point of interest in this connection. The tobacco imported into the United Staes in 1909, as shown by the Government reports, had an average valuation of 60 cents per pound, while that which was exported was valued at but 10 cents per pound. It will be noticed that the Government report estimates an average yield of tobacco on the orangeburg soil at 600 pounds per acre, that 1t can be grown at cost of 10 cents per pound, and that a good article will bring from 25 to- 40 cents per pound.
 This. even if there is a profit of but ten cents per pound, and 600 pounds an acre is an average crop, beats raising cotton. Of course, we are not arguing that our farmers should quit cotton and turn entirely to tobacco, but, we do insist that much more attention might be devoted to the latter crop with good results. We contend, also that our farmers might find it to their interest to experiment with fine to- bacco with the purpose of supplying some of the fine quality needed, instead of importing 1t, But we only set out to cali attention to- the bulletin itself, and ask that 1t be read and studied, es- pecially by our farmer readers.

The Widespread Corruption.

bOStOn Herald.
 How ex-Governor Bulkeley came to be made caucus candidate for United States Senator from Connecticut is a story about which more may be known some day than now; but enough is known of him and of the last Con- necticut election to make 1t plain that corruption had great deal to do with 1t. In the first place, the candidate has a record that makes 1t clear he would make no scrup1es to compass his ambition by buying votes. Those who have an acquaintance with Connecticut politicians and their repute know that for many years he made no secret in his common talk that buying votes Is tions. His notions of what is right and proper in business have been H. frustrated in ways that brand him as one with loose ideas of justice and honor. He is very rich and he has been perfectly willing to put money into politics. The partys debt to him is one of his strong means of com manding support.

HOW IT IS DONE.

The most scathing arraignment of white oppression of the Indians that We have read in a long time comes in the form of a letter to the President from Mir. J. s. Murrow, of Atoka, l. T. Mir. Murrow Is President of the Indian Or phans' Home of that place, and has thoroughly informed himself regarding all conditions and affairs among the people. He has no Indian blood in him, but takes up their case as a matter of justice and fair-dealing. A few ex- tracts from his letter will be found in- teresting. He says:
 There were over 50.000 Indians here when came, in 1857, and nearly all were full bloods. They were a peace full. prosperous and happy people. They abundance of stock; had churches, schools and were rapidly becoming an intelligent and independent people. They believed this country would be ter flows because the great Govern ment of the United States had so pledged to them by solemn compact.
 Those were the conditions existing almost half a century ago, and also shows how the Indians depended on the good faith of our Government and how they relied on solemn treaties for protection. Then MT. Murrow goes into details of the charges wrought by the war between the States, and con tinues:
 The influx of whites increased. Hun nrana m tal IrAI men to secure a right in the country" They introduced their fathers, moth- CTS, brothers. sisters, uncles aunts, cousins; friends and acQuaintances from all over the impoverished South and everywhere else, and the United States Government protected them in the country.
 Some of these white men grew rich and influential. They unhed with the mixed blOods and controlled the coun- cils They pocketed most of the pub lie moneys. They fenced up most of the best lands and leased the coal mines to corporations. The full-bloods grew poorer and more disheartened and slunk away from the lines of travel.
 These are but samples of the state ments of MT. Murrow, showing how the Indians have been imposed on, robbed and swindled by white and mixed ad- venturers, and all done under the vir- tual protection of our Government. The writer appeals to the President and Secretary of the Interior to interfere for the protection of the Indians, but we doubt if his appeal will do any good. The impression seems to be that the Indian has no rights which the white man is bound to respect, and we doubt if the administration Is either able or willing to stop the game.

 "In other words" he continued, shall we continue the present crowd of of- icials in office or shall we put in an entirely new crowd? This Is the issue and these are questions that will be put to the seven or eight gentlemen who are seeking the office.
