Captain Hobson on the Stump.

Captain Richard p. Hobson has again
offered for Congress In the sixth Alabama
district In opposition 70 Mr.. Bankhead. and
Is on the stump presenting his platform
and claims This paragraph appears in a
dispatch about a joint debate between the
two candidates:
In the course CT his address Cant Hob
son renewed his advice for a larger navy.
and said that southern cotton producers
suffered every time there was a war. He
said that Japan now was ar,nsne China
for the purpose of fighting America, In
which event the feecy staple would take
a larger drop than ever before and MANY
men here now would probably be sent OF
to fight in the far-away country
1t Is well enough TO talk high cotton
TO cotton planters. and larger navy Is
a good topic in nearly any part of the
country. Buy why should Captain Hobson
run thus into exaggeration-draw thus so
wildly on his imagination? No good Is to
be served by IL. and some harm may result
1t is an absurd and nischievous thing to
say that Japan is arming China for the
purpose of fighting America, There is MOTH
ing whatever to support the statement

doors freely to foreign commerce sFe shall
meet Japan there as q rival for trade, and
she may prove a very doughty commercial
competitor: but that 10 all. We she'll meet
Great Britain. and France, and Germany.
and Russia there on the same terms.
Captain Hobson is new in politics. and
plays the game at the start too vigorously.
1t is the mistake OF many men who after
success IN other fields turn to the exciting
task OF saving the country" They as
sumo the role of tolIier extraordinary and
forecaster plenipotentiary. They unbridle
their spirits, and go all lengths IN search OF
support.
This Alabama deliverance Is not very
important with us, being only one of many
now heard from men aspiring to congress
sionai honors. 1t Is the day of large
crowds and tall talk on the stump. But
Captain Hobson, because OF his heroic ex-
plot in the Spanish war, has wide fame.
and his utterances as budding statesman
may travel abroad For this reason an
extravaganza by him is to be regretted
And especially regrettable is 1t when such
extravaganza is aimed at q power whose
friendship we have sought and obtained
and now highly prize. This gallant ex-
sailor should pipe all hands on deck ana
take reef In his tongue.

Jury Fixing. +"
: York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Even In these days of exciting investiga-
tons and revelations there is no subject
of more vital interest to the people than
the charges that juries have been sys-
tematically tempered with in the interest
of the corporations controlling the city rail-
ways.
There Is a somewhat confusing multiple
fly of actions in connection with the matter
at the moment, and the State Bar Assoca-
ton does well to defer Its proposed inquf-
sition until the outcome of the present
proceedings becomes known.
The steps now being taken originated in
the confessions of discharged employee of
the company. and while such testimony is
accepted with caution, the corrobora tive
evidence that Juries were padded" or
bribed Is very strong. In fact the present
general counsel for the street railway sys-
tenn admits that there appears to be
some ground for the belief that 81 ring did
exist In the city court between assistant
clerks and Notwithstanding detectives
working for the railway.
