A PROPER VETO.

The people of.this city. we feel quite sure. will heartily applaud Mayor Teague for vetoing the ordinance rais- ing a number of salaries. The Council will make serious mistake if it does not correct It's former mistake and sus- tain the veto. The salary list already In effect bears favorable comparison as to amounts paid with those of other cities of the size of Montgomery. No man recently chosen to office accepted place without knowing what the salary of each position was. and there gre scores of men just as capable who would be glad to get the salary which it Is atteinbted to increase.
 Montgomery is not burdened with a surplus of cash in her treasury. On the contrary, there is quite q deficit which has to be taken up. and until that is done, there should be no i'm rreasing of salaries. Mayor Teague has the right view of the matter.

nAkEs SOME MORE PROMISES.

Mir. Shonts of the Panama Canal convention of hardware men in Wash ington a few days ago, and took occa- sion to denounce peeople who have seen proper to indulge in criticism of the way the great work Is being car ried on. 7. He admitted that only six steam shovels are at work on the whole length of the canal at the pres- ent time, although ten millions of dol- lars have been expended in starring the work of construction. But next year, after the canal plains shall have been de. e.ermined, MT. shonts promises tie talks very sensibly about the prop osition to increase the labor cost of the canal 25 per cent by enforcing the eight-hour law on the isthmus. Mir. shonts says:
 In my opinion 1t is a mistake to handicap the construction of the Pan- anna Canal by any laws save those of police and sanitation. I want to go on record here that the application of the eight-hour Jaw, of the contract labor law, of the Chinese exclusion act or of any other law passed or to be passed by Congress for the benefit of Ameri- can labor at home, to labor on the ssthmus. is a serious error.
 over 80 per cent of the employees on the canal will be aliens. A majority of the other 20 per cent employed will be in clerical or supervisory capdc- ity. The application of these laws on the isthrnus will benefit a very small number of American laborers. but will enormously add to the cost of con- afa 0n nd laH l., will have to pay it's share of the con Bequent increase in taxation. As busi- ness men you will understand the force of this statement.

THE BEAR LEADER,S EgTInGATE.
 It is we'll to see both sides of ques- tion, and we. therefore, present to our readers the views of MT. +. M. Neiil, the acknowledged leader of the bear interests in the United States. He represents English buyers and spin ners and has systematically claimed large crops for years past. t will be seen that he figures out 11,5oo.o0 bales for this years crop. but in order to do this, as much yield is given to Texas and Indian Territory as last year. when all the facts go to show that the falling off there will be as great in proportion to acreage as in Alabama and the Gulf coast country.
 The cropN of 1so4-05 is given as 1s.- soo.ooo. and he figures that this years business started September 1st with s.s15.0o0 brought over Even with that large amount on hand. the de- Grease of this year, as compared with last, will offset 1t, and the condition next September, ought to be markets everywhere absolutely bare of cotton. No other calculation than MT. Neill's claims over 1o.5oo. .ooo bales. and he Is by no means infaliible. Time and again his congratulations have been proven wrong and there is every req son for believing he is now 100000 bales out of the way.
 Take him, however, with his excess sive claim for this years crop and it still shows that there is to be short age of cotton. Since the settlement of the Russian-Japan. troubles wide field for cotton is open, which was practically closed for two years. The demand from that direction is great and will be felt in future prices. The growth of-cotton is not increasing with the growth of population in countries where cotton is the best article for clothing, and these Southern States have brighter outlook for sale of their staple than they ever had bee fore.

Even Governor Pennypacker has gone back on the Pennsylvania plunderers, and has called the Legislature in extra session to right wrongs which have been heaped upon the people of the State. One purpose of the call is to break up the Treasury ring, which has led to so much stealing and wreckihg of so many lives and characters. 9th or objects are to pave the way for Senatorial and Representative reappor- tionment. to provide for the personal rekistration of voters and to abolish fees in the offices of the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Insurance Commissioner. Further legislation mentioned by the Governor is the law known as the Philadelphia Ripper" taking away from the Mayor the au- thority to appoint Director of Public safety and a Director of Public Works and authorizing these appointments to be made by City Councils. The legis- lation which the Governor suggests has been urged by the reform parties in the State for some time.

 Some leading opponents Of the An elo-cuban treaty profess to believe that the United States government IS nrenarin9 to show that Cuba must pot invita nossible complications. prom inent official who is against the treaty ana whose position prevents him rom talking openly. said to-day: ,

 Several government organs suggest that inc complaint means graft and Is made In behalf of the men who would derive profit by building the sewer. The fact remains that the contract for sewers was let during the period of American intervention. A bond was filed by a contractor, but nothing has been done since the founding of the re- public The Lucha, which opposes the administration. says:

Regardless of law. we would like to see the government as careful in other respects as 1t is with regard to sanitation. But 1t Is not. and if we are sanitary we have no political right, The so-cailed Constitution is a dead letter and courts are instruments for the government to set up and pull down necessary or unwelcome officials, respectively"

GETTING AT THE FACTS.

{. All of the newspapers in New York except Hearst's American, seem to be at least reasonably sane since last Tuesdays election. That paper keeps up its claims of Hearst's election with all the exasgeration of whole-page type. The Sun puts in plea for the truth. It says
 The report that Mir. Hearst caused brought on from San Francisco " ape Ds Chicago to Coney Island and other dis tricts of the Borough of Brooklyn, and that the returns from those Cistricts order to make bigger Hearst show untrue.
 The statement. widely printed. that ing places or police stations and thrown into the North River is found on inves- tigation to be untrue.
 The assertion that ballot boxes were Interested in the election of MT. Mo Clellan has no foundation in fact what ever.
 The public reports that repeaters necticut, and other states and paid $ every time of the fifteen or twenty times they voted the Tammany ticket be false.
 The averment that seals were broken and ballot boxes tempered with in po- lice stations is found on inquiry to be untrue.
 It has been stated that blue pencils instead of black ones were placed in some booths in order that ballots mark ed herewith would be invalidated. Careful Inquiry by The Suns reporters fails to discover a single case of this sort.
 The story that ballot boxes were by the fact that the vote on Tuesday was entirely normal. Any extensive ballot box stuffing or any extensive fraudulent voting would have affected the total vote and made 1t more than normal.

October 25. 19Oo. Hon. James Wilson. Secretary, Depart
 ment of Agriculture, Washington,
 D. C.;
 Dear Sir-we are in receipt of your communication of October IS, In which you state that you have received our Communication of October IF, in which we protested against the proposed issue of the November estimate of the con dition of the crop, and also yours m reply to our communication of October ii. wherein we demanded the exact facts on which the conditions of the october estimates were based. we further note that you say these com munications twill be placed on file. Your replies to our communications are quite consistent with your pro- ceedings hitherto, when the cotton trade has endeavored to bring to your attention matters affecting It's inter ests, notably in the case Of corruption under Statistician Hyde.
 The October estimate of condition is a pArady of scientific investigation and we challenge you to submit the data of that report to competent board of disinterested experts for There is no process of reasoning that can justify the issuance of November estimate of condition. The plant has ceased growing. and the only Inference is that these reports, being essentially anecplatIYe in their character. for soms

The Baltimore Sun, the leading Dem- ocratic paper of Maryland. says: Maryland is generally considered a Democratic State. but in recent years it's political history proves that it Is not blindly attached to any party. When conditions are normal. when the issues presented by the Democratic party are in harmony with the vital principles of Democracy. when the leaders are not only sagacious, but men who have won the respect and trust of all clements of the party, then Maryland is usually Democratic" This is to say, says The Nashville Ameri- can, that Maryland cannot always be relied on to go Democratic. It went Democratic in every election for Pres ident and Governor from 1872 to 1892, inclusive, and since then it has gone Democratic three times and Republican four times." Democratic bossism has had much to do with this changed con- dition. Thre are thousands of inde- pendent Democrats in Maryland who resent efforts to tie them to the wheels and fortunes of a particular set of men. We sincerely hope that the State from now on will remain steadfastly in the Democratic column. That is where, by an overwhelmingly majority of white votes. the State belongs.
