HAMILTON AND JEFFERsoN.

Discussing Alexander Hamilton and his work, The Portland oregonian pro- nounces him incomparably the greatest constructive statesman that America has produced. and it bases this claim on the fact that he favored strong, centralized government as opposed to the Jeffersonian Republican or Demo- cratic from which was adopted. It ar- g1es that Hamilton's ideas were cor rect, and that the American people erred by following Jefferson.
 No one, we think, will dispute Ham
 man, for those claims are too firmly established to be set aside or doubted. He was a great man. beyond question, and it is difficult to imagine what he
 might have accomplished had he not been cut down at an age when most
 public men are doing their best work. | He was but forty-seven when killed by
 Burr, and at that age. and beyond it. most public men are best fitted for important mental as well as physical efforts.
 It is not necessary to cast any doubt on Hamiltons greatness in order to strengthen the opposition to his plan of centralized government. The Ore- gonian, as one argument for the theory, declares that the absolute monarchies of the present day are the weakest governments in the world" We might well use that argument against our contemporary by saying that these governments are weak be- cause they are absolute, and that line of reasoning would be sound. but that is not all. Those governments, like Russia. Turkey and some others where all the power is concentrated in one head, have never known anything else. Generations of people have come and gone without being allowed any par ticipation in the affairs of government. They have known nothing else and may not be fitted for anything else. and if such governments are weak it may be because the people have not been recognized as part of them.
 And, too, the character of the people has much to do with it. What is sat- isfactory to a people who have suf- fered through at s of repression would not have suited the people of the American colonies. They had just emerged from a long and disastrous war which was waged to free themselves from government by monarchy and were not prepared to fetter themselves by adopting a form of government which would have approached too nearly to the one they had thrown off. The Jeffersonian theory which was adopted doubtless has its faults, but we are not prepared to believe that Hamilton's pIan was better

statement of Mr. Comer.

A prominent Montgomery Democrat yssterday expressed surprise at some of the inaccuracies in statements made Tn public speeches by Hon. B. B. Conner candidate for Governor.
 T have not decided" he said ''for whom shall vote for Governor. As yet, am on the fence, so to speak, looking at the issues and the perform ances or the two men who are in the race Therefore I was surprised be- yona , expression to read in The Adver- User this morning that1Mr. Conner had told the voters of Limestone county in his speech at Athens that Mir. George W Jones. of Montgomery, was a mem Der of the -committee that framed the so-called 'Whitson plan for d pri- mary adopted by our State Committee. 1T MT. Conner Is not more familiar than this with the proceedings of the State Committee he is not a fit man for a Democratic candidate He ought l., be did.
 What are the facts? The Wnitson plan was conceived and framed by a subcommittee of the State Committee consisting of c. S. Whitson, of TalIa- dega; B. B. Adams, of Tuscumbia; w. II Sanford: of Troy; T. M. Stevens, of Mobile, and Jones G. Moore. of Bir- mingham. Mr.. Jones did not have the honor of being member of the sub committee, but I am sure we of the Second District whom he represents, would have been satisfied with any honor that the main committee had paid him.
 T cannot understand MT, Corners reasons for misleading the people of North Alabama on this point.
 MT. Jones, as a member of the State Committee, represents the Democrats of this District. He needs no defense at my hands. He is amply able to take care of himself. I would have been glad if he had had a hand in the making of the primary plan But cannot understand how man of Mir. Corners prominence could put him in position he did not occupy"

Well, we've got to use the Pickett Springs ball park again." said a base ball fan yesterday. land while the dia- mond Is 8 beautiful one, the only draw back is the distance from town.
 '"rhe Traction Company, in it's pro- gressive spirit, wanted to change the location of the ball grounds to the Cap- itol Heights line, which would be near CT to town so as to give the pubic a quicker and better schedule over the double atrack system to- and from the bali park. But the City Council did not see the necessity of action as the Traction company did and therefore, the park proposition on the extension of Madison avenue had to be aban- doned as the street car company could do nothing towards: accomplishing it's task until the Council gave permission to the company to connect the tracks of the Montgomery Street Railway with it's own.
 T am sorry that the matter hung fire in the Council Chamber because 1t means something to business men who care to go to the ball games and get back to town in a hurry"

The Birmingham Ledger of Saturday last says:

last says:
 Whether The Advertisers steno- graphic report of what MT. Conner said at Tuscaloosa or MT. Corners written speech, published in The Montgomery Journal is the more correct, we know not. Probably both are correct. That is The Ledger's view of 1t. There is the speaker were accurately taken down or that the written speech is exactly as Mir. Conner wrote 1t. In congress speeches are delivered. then viewed by the speaker. Then the speech is published as the speaker wants it to ~o to the pu-nc. That ap- pears to be the case with the Tusca- loosa speech. MT. Conner has a per feet right to present his written speech and endorse it as his Tuscaloosa speech"
 That is not the point. MT. Conner made a speech at Union Springs. which was severe in it's arraignment of past Democratic administrations and legis- latures. We have private information that he was much more severe than published reports have shown him to be at other points. The Advertiser re- port of that speech and one at Tal- ladega was assaiIed, although we have every reason for believing that what was reported was absolutely correct.
 If MT. Conner was reported correctly by The Advertiser at Tuscaloosa, and he has never asserted to the contrary. it is not right for The Birmingham News. close to MT. Conner, to give out one month afterwards nurnorted speech and say 1t is printed to correct a heretofore incorrectly reported speech. That is the question, and not MT. Com CTS right to print as many sorts of speeches as the wants to. Revision is a great thing when a man has said things which need toning down. but the public is entitled to have what he said at first hand and not the result of a months afterthought.

Germany Will Begin Dis
 eliminating Against Us

Germany's schedule of tariff rates designed to lessen imports from the United States will be put into effect promptly at midnight February 2S. The kaiser's government has abandoned all hope of provisional arrangement and announces that there is no alternative but the enforcement of new and higher duties.
 Germany would like much to defer action beyond March to give the long est possible time for American recipro- city sentiment to crystalline, but the agreements with seven European coun. tries, which made treaties with Ger many, oblige the government to refuse equal concessions to nations that have declined to enter into treaties.
 The Swiss, Italians and others are chucAling and cherish happy dreams of pushing the American competitors out of the German market.
 The exports from this country to Germany for the year ending June 30, 1905 were valued at sl94, ,22O,472 The Germans, next to the British, have been our best customers.

IS LOST
Rich TanaDa Mining Man
 Missing

Seattle, Feb. 15-Percy K. Swan, wealthy Tanana miner, is missing. He left the Northern hotel on January 23 for Portland, en route to his home in San Francisco, and has not heen seen or heard from since. When he left the city he is supposed to have had something like S5O, GOO in money, drafts and checks on his person.
 The chief of police at San Francisco and the mans mother have started 6 systematic search all over the West Coast for him, but up to date their ef- forts have been unavailing. It is feared that Swan has been killed, presumably in Portland. for his money.
 Swan originally went to Alaska dur ing the rush of IS ' and opened a store in Dawson. He then went into the Tanana. He forsook merchandise then and went in for mining, and made @ stake that is roughly estimated at s250,. GOO.
 He came out over the ice aud snow this winter and reached the Northern hotel, s .attle, January 13 The next day he wired his mother that he would be in San Francisco within five days, and that he had enough money to keep them as long as they lived.
 His baggage went on through to San Francisco, but so far IS known, all track of Swan vanished when he walk ed out of the Northern hotel.
