Great Railroads Are MarshaIing Their
 Forces

Great Railroads Are MarshaIing Their Forces.
 New York World.
 Twenty-nipe railroad systems, conn prising practically every railroad in the country, are being merged into a concrete unit for the specific purpose of overcoming legislation at Washing ton which would throw the power of fixing rates into the hands of the Fed eral Government.
 The alliance is to be offensive and defensive but owing to the nature of dent Roosevelt has created, 1t will be largely offensive.
 Samuel spencer. President of the Southern Railway systemi A. J. Cas- satt, President of the Pennsylvania system, and President Johnson of the Norfolk and Western road. control of which Is jointly held by the Pennsylva- mia and the New. York Central systems. came to this city yesterday for the purpose, it Is said, of meeting other railway officials and conferring with them on a plan of action.
 said that no conference on the rate question was necessary, the president of one of the largest and most pow erful railroad systems in the country admitted that several conferences of railroad officials have been held, at which the Government's attitude on the rate question was the one subject dis cussed. Other conferences of the same kind, he said, were to take place in the near future. He said that no plan had been arranged for general con ference of all fhe railway presidents, as the matters under consideration could just as well be wOrkal out by series of conferences, each one talk ing in different groups of railway off, cials.

South and. indeed, throughout the country. He has declared that 1t was Fnever his intention nor his wish that the Booker Washington incident should have led to Any belief that he favored social equality. which he declared was tempt to apologize for that act in any way, he has indicated that it was un- fortunate in that significance was at- tached to the incident by both whites and blacks in the South which was not intended. This, from a man of MT. Roosevelt's character. should definitely dispose of the affair, which can safely De relegated to the limbo of the things that were. There are certain cardi- nal principles in the policy outlined has always stood. and he Is a poor Democrat, unworthy of the name, who can not put aside parttsanship in the interest of his country.
 MT. Roosevelt's utterance on the Crumpacker campaign will free the South from an irritating anxiety always conducive to sectional bitter ness. tranquilize society and business, cause the people of the South to place the fullest confidence. in MT. Roose- velts expressed determination to be the President of every section of the Union and pave the way for an 'era of good feeling" such as we have had in the past. And will 1t not do even more than this? VIII the people of this country not have ground to believe that the death-knell of the attempt to penalize the South for its effort to pre- serve It's ballot reasonably free from the contamination of ignorance, follow ing the example of older States, has been sounded? Will there not be reason to hope that the tool which the politicians in Congress have too long used for manipulatory practices quite alien to their ostensible motives has at last been broken in their hands?
 It seems that we may not unwisely after the election of Mr. Roosevelt by such an overwhelming vote and the return of an increased Republican ma 1ority to Congress, there were those who predicted that if the attempt to reduce Southern representation was not seriously made at the present or forth coming regular session of Congress, 1t would never be made. It Is now cer- tain that it will not be made during this administration. President Roose- welt knows both himself and public opinion; and nowhere does he find sub- stantial support for the various plans of injustice toward the South that may De generally put under the head of "Crumpackerism." The congressional policy toward this question will doubt flee in the form he has given in for that period. So that future partisan schemefs, strife-breeders and passion engenderers, will find 1t practically fm- possible to rally any appreciable part dard by beating the southern repre- sentation' tom-tom.
 In the advocacy of the principles which the President is now advancing the representatives in Congress from the South should stand by him loyalty --as Loyalty as though he were of their own political faith, which, indeed, he is in these paramount matters. The advice of Mir. Bryan should be taken to heart by every Democrat in both branches of Congress, and 1t probably will be, so far as the lower branch is concerned. It is with the Senate that the danger lies.

A KnirhtIx Senator.

Senator Daniel of Virginia set a good example of chivalry on a street car a few days ago. The car was crowded men retained their seats and appeared not to notice the lady, who was stand ing. Then Senator Daniel. who still carries a bullet that he received in the Wilderness while fighting for the Con- federacy, rose and holding his crutches in one hand grabbed strap with the other, ofering the lady his seat. The woman protested, but finally accepted the courtesy and called her young son in from the platform to introduce him to the Senator from whom the lad was able to learn a lesson in politeness.

ST. PAuL,s IN nANaER

Again we are told that St. Paul's Cathedral in London. is in danger. The latest announcement is that in the con- struction of underground railways and tunnels The burrowing has drained the water which the foundation soil held, and there has followed a shrink age and reconstruction of the earth !" This disturbance extends to the foun- dations of the Cathedral and it Is said that the cross on the top of the build ing is nov three feet out of plumb. and that the danger is constantly growing. It is further announced that Westminster Abbey and the Bank of England building are also in danger from the same cause.
 It would be real calamity If the magnificent Cathedral should be de- stroyed. It was the crowning work of the great English architect. Sir Christopher Wren. who designed 1t somewhat after the magnificent Ca- thedral of St. Peter. at Rome, and though it is considerably smaller. its dome Is said to be the most imposing structure in the world. s5
 Begun in 1875 it was thirty-five years in building, the finishing stone having been placed in position in ITO by a son of the designer It is one of the historic objects of London and its destruction would. we repeat. be a real calamity which should be avoided, if possible.

What is Politics.

The Republicans look to the day when the Territories are made into States. and these States will have Dem- ocratic Senators. So they propose to combine the four territories into two States. That will provide for four Sen ators instead of eight. That is poli- tics, but it Is absurd to make one State out of an empire like Arizona and New Mexico. But politics goes.

FRIDAY, JAxUARY 20, 1905.
FIGHTING A TRUST

The Standard on Company. as is well known, is one of the most out rageous and far-reaching monopolies now in existence. It can absolutely fix the price of oil and crush out a1l competition, and there seems no rem edy, though many have been proposed. Governor Hoeh, of Kansas, proposes that his State shall establish an oil refinery, under the control of the State. for the purpose of breaking the pow CT of the Standard, at least so far as Kansas is concerned. and thus bring ing down the price of oil in that State.
 There are at least two reasons why we doubt the propriety of this move ment. One is that the Standard Oil Company reaches out and practically controls the product and it's price Throughout the entire country. It is genuine octopus with tentacles cov- ering the Union, and with no more con- science than its prototype possesses Even if 1t were possible for the State of Kansas to hold it's own against that great corporation it would be but drop in the bucket. Unless all the States of the Union would join in the movement the action of one would have little eftect, and there is little reason for supposing that all the States would act in concert.
 But there Is another argument of still more force. in our estimation. The Standard is but one of a number of organized trusts which have the people by the throats. If a State en- ters the lists against one it must tackle the others as a matter of iu- partial justice. That would be So- ciaiism in It's most advanced form, as we understand it. It would result in gradually putting the State in control of all public utilities. and that would be a worse evil than any under which we now labor. To be forced to submit to corporate greed and imposition is bad enough, but to have the State gov eFnments assuming control and man. agement of our industries would be g great deal worse. If no better or more practicable means of downing the trusts can be found than by adopt ing the extreme terfets of socialism we are In bad condition, beyond doubt.

The Boston Post thinks that Massa

The Boston Post thinks that Massa- chusetts has always done credit to the State by the present method of choos- ing a United States Senator. Few, if any. mistakes have been made in the character or the quality of the repre- sentatives of the Commonwealth chosen by the Legislature. But our neighboring State of Connecticut is less fortunate; the choice of ex-Gov- ernor Bulkeley is widely condemned as a triumph of the worse clements of party politics. The point H. frustrated is that even here at the East the system of electing United States Senators by vote of Legislatures is no longer. safe. Our people have had the idea that the trouble in this respect was confined to the West, where Uni ted States Senatorships go to the rich man who owns the Legislature. or ir such a peculiar case as that of Addicks in Delaware. But here We see the peril brought right home close to our doors."

 she'll An empires embers. smoking in it's
 ruins, Proud of the very ashes of it's past He knew the Cause was dead, But burled\in a million loyal hearts. Duty had led him through Life's tor-

A Time Convention.

Ithink the convention of the Inter- State Cane Growers Association in Montgomery next week will be a very time gathering" said an influential farmer yesterday T say timely be- cause we cant begin too early to think and talk of the necessity of diversity ing our crops.
 T am satisfied that Alabama is des- tined to be one of the greatest sugar cane States in the Union. The sooner the proper soil is cultivated in it the better.
 "The idea of a one-crop farm must be abandoned. The price of cotton now demonstrates this. know 1t will be a hard matter for people in the leasehold business to risk any other production than that of cotton. But we have got to make a stand for diver sified farming and the men who lease their lands to negroes can do their country no better service than instruct ing them in the art of raising some thing besides cotton.
 That is the reason I look forward with interest to the Cane Growers Com vention.
 '1n this respect, I also endorse that good meeting of the Montgomery Com mercial and Industrial Association which preached immigration of other laborers than negroes to Alabama"
