For many a Alabama held its ell

For many years Alabama held its cleo
tons in August, and although under its
new Constitution the election day has been
changed to November, August elections
have not beer entirely done away with,
and the next primary contest for Demo-
cratic nominations is scheduled for August
81. Senatorial succession will be one Of
the questions at these primaries. JOSEPH
F. JOHNSTON Of Birmingham, who was Gov
ernor Of the State from 1895 to 1900, an
nounces himself as a candidate.
Once a Senator always a Senator is
almost a recognized rule in Alabama, now
represented by Senator MORGAN, who is
eighty-two (the senior" SENATOR, and by
Senator PETTUs, who is eighty-fve the
Junior" SENATOR. Their terms expire in
1907 and 1909 respectively. but as the Ala
bama Legislature meets only once in four
years the next one to convene will have
the choice of two Senators unless it re-
elects MORGAN and PETTUs. The idea of
displacing either of the W Alabama Sena-
tors appears to strike Alabama statesmen
as almost sensational, and Mr.. J~oHNsoN's
candidacy is not for an actual but for a
contingent vacancy, with no indication that
either OF the present incumbents Intends
to retire.

The United States and the West
Indies.

The North American Repieu for March
contains an article on the Future Of the
British West Indies" The author, Mr..
w. P. LIVINGSTONE, is qualified to treat
the subject bylong residence in British
West Indian possessions. After more
than ten years Of service as editor of
the leading paper of the island of ia
maica he became the West Indian corre-
spondent of the London Times. While
his views are somewhat tinged with
British imperialism, they are none the
less interesting. 1t will be a sorry day
for the United States if his predictions
ere fulfilled.

military establishments in the West

power of the United States in the vicinity
of the Caribbean. He sees the United
States established strategically at Bahia
Honda, Guantanamo, Culebra, San Juan
and M~ayaguez, thus practically COM
manding the Florida Straits, the Yucca
tan Channel and the Windward Passage.
he ventures tne assertion tnaU II Is
only a question Of time ere Mole st.
Nicholas on the Haitian side OF the Wind
ward is secured. while SANTANA Bay,
probably the finest harbor in the West
Indies, is marked out for early American
possession" He goes a step further
and asserts that lit is not difficult to
foresee that circumstances will n~ecessi-
tate the acquisition Of an island off the
4 South American coast" This, he says,
will complete the series of defensive
ports and give the United States the
absolute mastery of the Caribbean Sea
and all the approaches to the Panama
Canal"
This is what Great Britain would un-
doubtedly do were she in the place Of
this country. 1t would be entirely
consistent with a national policy which
has grown with the growth of the Brit
ish Empire. But the United States
must undergo a revolutionary CONVEX

The House and the Midshipmites.

For a good many years it has been
the habit of some Representatives, in
Congress to grid at the brutality" Of the
wicked bows al West Point and Annap-
oils. The young satraps haze and are
hazed. They even fight, upon occasion;
a crime objectionable in youths bred to
fight, if necessity arrives, hereafter.
Besides, the rascals wear buttons and
things and are much more brilliant in
externals than the civilian; and yet what
are they, after all, but Uncle SANS char
ity BOYS, us their statesmanlike critics tell
them to encourage them? Most of them
come to the academies by the democratic
route Of competitive examination; but
something survives OF the curious old
prejudice which was once keen, against
West Point in particular. No military
and naval aristocracy here! No bcdi-
zened popinjays to sneer at the plain
people first and enslave them afterward!
In the discussion in the House last
week of the bill giving the Secretary Of
the Navy authority to dismiss midship-
men and regulating the procedure and
punishment in trials for hazing at the
Naval Academy a kindlier spirit was
shown. To be sure, the Hon. WILLIAM
PETERS HEPBURN, who cannot sleep on
account of the iniquities of the railroads,
was stern and rockbound. The Hon.
THETUs WILLRETTE SIMS Of Tennessee
shifted at the assertion Of his colleague,
Mr.. PADGETT, that hazing was found
in most schools and colleges. Did Mr..
PADGETT know of any such hazing that
had resulted fatally? Mr.. PADGETT, not
familiar with the mortality record Of
college hazings and limitations, did not
recall any fatal instances of college
hazing, but "a very distinguished Mem
Der" had told Of a college case in the
Members own experienced case much
worse than anything reported from
Annapolis:

How the Consumers Feel About 1t.

The anthracite operators conclude
their statement to the public explaining
that If the miners demands should be
allowed 1t would be necessary to adj
vance the price Of coal si.2O per ton, with
this broad hint: at must be apparent
that the public would have to pay a very
high price il its support should enable
the miners to exact the demands they
now make upon the operators" In the
warning a fine tribute to the power OF
public opinion is implied.
While it may be flattering to con-
sumers, who buy by the pail as well as
by the ton, to hear that their sympa-
thy settles q coal strike, they have moth
ing to do with ordering it, and they know
that when it is over they will have to
pay the bill of costs, any advance in
wages granted, together with interest
for contingencies. The strike of 1902
cost them an average increase Of wages
of 10 per cent, which has been paid the
miners for three years; and the bill for
mines flooded, property destroyed and
company police protection has also en-
g6Ieu luUO lllc pllNt VI NOoi ci'No tiho
award OF the arbitration commission
Now the consumers are told that If the
operators should have to pay a further
increase of 10 per cent. in wages to miners
engaged in cutting coal and in contract
work, to grant the minimum days wage
. asked for and to establish an eight hour
day without reduction of compensation
II would be necessary TO advance the
price of coal 81. 20 a ton. To prove their
case the operators invoke the sliding
scale declared by the commission.
The u~norganized consumers are get
ting used to paying strike bills, but it is
a great mistake to suppose that they
like it. They hear a good deal about
the square deal in politics, but they
are more interested in the square deal
for themselves in trade and industry. If
they could be polled on the question of
an anthracite strike there would be
practically a unanimous vote against it.
The consumers can see nothing ahead
but a vista of strikes for more wages,
which they will have to pay for, whether
the strikes fail or arbitration commissions
promulgate a square deal between
operators apd miners. The consumers
naturally ask themselves: 'Where do
we come in?'
The consumers realize that mining
coal takes time and money, that the
operators are entitled TO a fair profit and
that the miners should be paid living
wages, but the consumers have a SYM
pathetic feeling for themselves and do
not want to pay a very high price" for
supporting either side in a coal strike,
AS matters stand now the public be-
lieves that the miners in the anthracite
regions are prospecting under the award
of March, 1908, and ought to be fairly
happy and contented, and the public
also believes that it is paying quite
enough for coal. Therefore it doesn't
want a strike and the idea is very re-
pugnant to it. Nor do the men who
work in the mines want to see their sav-
ings swallowed up in another strike or to
lose the advantage they gained from the
award Of the commission by whose find
ings they agreed to abide for three years.
Who wants a strike but JOHN MITCHELL
and his fellow agitators?

Jersey City Invites the Fierce Light.

While many communities are dissat-
isfed with the administration Of their
corporate affairs, and numerous men and
women more or less eminent are engaged
in the delectable occupation OF proving
that the cities and towns in which they
live are given over entirely to vice and
sin, Jersey City supplies the novelty of
the season by advertising its perfect
content with the conditions hat exist
within its boundaries. Its police board
is so confident of the probity and skill
with which the department is managed
that it proposes a public and formal in
vestigation Of its affairs. The Com
missioners want every citizen with a COM
plant to come forward and tell his tale,
and they will have a law officer Of the
city on hand to do whatever may be
necessary in any case that shows dere-
LECTION or w~rongdolng.
Perhaps a highly trained vice hunter,
equipped with modern muck rakes,
might expose some lingering vices, some
unregenerate %evildoers, in Mayor FA-
CANS capital. Now is his chance.
The authorities invite him to peek under
the lid and bring to light whatever he
may find. If their confidence in the
immaculacy of the town is ill founded
they are ready for disenchantment.
1t will be hoped that the Jersey City
authorities are justified in their belief.
They offer a pleasing contrast to the
habitual croakers, the dismal fault
finders, who athict other communities.
Usually prominence is ascribed to a
city for its wiokedness. If Hudson
county's principal settlement is as good
as it's rulers think, it will have fame of
a new kind thrown upon it and will be
known as the pearl among municipali-
ties, instead of the town through which
people travel to reach New York.

CITY LIGHTING PLANT PAYS.
More Than $50 900 Worth OF Lighting on
an Investment OF RS8 900.

Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury..
in urging the Aldermen's Finance Com
mittee yesterday to report favorably upon
his application for an appropriation OF
$40, 900 for additional boilers for the
Williamsburg Bridge electric lighting plant,
said that the city was making a good
profit out of the generating of electricity
under the Williamsburg Bridge. The cost
of it 80 far has been about $50 900, The
electricity developed lights not only for
the bridge but also for two public schools,
and supplies the power to a workshop
which has been established under the bridge
approach. At the rate the electric com
panies are charging the city for lighting
1t is computed that the cost of lighting the
bridge would be $50. 600 a year., 81 that in
the case Of the bridge alone the city is
making about 40 per cent. on its investment.
After hearing Major Woodbury. the com:
mittee Immediately decided TO recommend
the APPROPRIATION.

PAN.ANERtcAN CoNFERENcE.
The Drago Doctrine WIN Not BE Discussed
but VIII he Referred 10 The Hague.

OuN VAAA AO
WASHINGTON, March 2e.-The much dis
cuissed Drago doctrine, involving the COL
lection of private debts by Governments,
will not be a part Of the programme at the
third Pan-American Conference at Rio
Janeiro next July, nor will the question
Of compulsory arbitration be taken W,
notwithstanding the efforts OF some Gov
ernments Of South America to nave tbi,
latter question incorporated in the pro-
graInme.
Instead of bringing the Drago doctrine
before the conference a resolution will
be offered and probably passed without
objection providing that the Drago doctrine
! shall be brought before the second peace
conference at The Hague, which will be
| held some time this year, and there enun-
ciated as a principle Of international law.
This course has been adopted already by
most of the countries involved and there
is but little doubt that it will go through
without a hitch.
The Drago doctrine prohibits the colleo-
tion by a Government OF debts owed TO one
of its citizens by another Government,
Inasmuoh as practically all OF the South
and Central American Governments are
debtor nations it is deemed advisable that
the creditor nations, which are chiefly
European, snail nave Ine opportunity VI

Pan-American Conference, but 1t has been
decided that the question shall not come
before the conference except indirectly
In the form of a resolution.
Neither will there be a discussion OF the
question Of compulsory arbitration, which
| created a great stir in the conference, at
| the City Of Mexico five years ago. AT that
time nine countries signed the arbitration
treaty but since then only three have
| ratified it. The United States and Chile
| refused to become parties to the arbltra-
| tion feature of the conference. Argentina,

NAY MOVE ALASKA's CAPITAL.
Movement on Foot 10 Remove II From
Sitka to Juneau.

WASHINGTON. March 28.-The seat OF
government in Alaska will probably be re-
moved from Sitka, the ancient Russian
capital, to the thriving city of Juneau
sitka has continued practically as the capt.
tai sincethe acquisition Of theterritoryfro from
Russia in 1867, although the act of Congress
approved in June, 1900, provided that the
capital should be at Juneau; The same act
contained a proviso that "the seat of gov,
ernment" should continue at SitlIa unit
such time as suitable quarters could he
obtained at Juneau.
W. B.. Hoggatt, the newly appointed
Governor of Alaska. called on h Presi-
dent to-day. Mr.. Hoggatt believes that
il is entirely feasible under the present
law to establish both the capital and the
seat of government at Juneau without
much further delay. .Sitka is no longer on
the principal route of travel. Juneau has
a population Of about $500, and is in the
regular steamer route from Seattle and
British Columbia ports to Skagway', The
town has assumed much importance In the
mining world.

The substitute offered by Senator
CULBERsoN of Texas for the Hepburn
Rate bill contains a provision that in
case a commission fixed rate is CON
fscatory" the common carrier or any
stock or bond holder affected may in
stitute proceedings in equity in '"any
court Of the United States Of competent
jurisdiction" to enjoin the enforcement
of the rate; and that either party to such
proceedings may appeal Immediately
and directly to the Supreme Court Of the
United States from the final decree
therein, or any introductory or tenn
porary decree or restraining order
therein, by which the enforcement Of the
rate or order so established and made
by the commission is enjoined in whole
or in part" Such appealed cas- is to
be advanced and to take precedence over
all cases of a different character.
Mr.. CULBERsoN'S notion Of what is
rconfiscatory" is somewhat curious, as
his p~roviso contains a further proviso
that in considering what is a Just and
reasonable" and what a "confiscatory'
rate mo consideration shall be given
fictitious stock issued by the carrier,
or bonds or other obligations of the AR
rier issued in excess Of the fair yalua-
ton of its property"
OF the i~ndefeasible constitutional right
of judicial review, however, Mr.. Gull
BERsoN has no doubt. He told the
Senate that while his bill provides for
such review, the right exists by virtue
of the Constitution and a statute may
not add to or subtract therefrom."
OF the propositiQp TO prohibit the
