GADsDEN SCHOOLS coon.
Judge Disque Makes Inspection With
 Gratifying ResuIfM

GFatA1y1nE Hesult4.
 Gadsden, Nov. 0--(Special) )--Judge John H. Disque, president of the board of education, has made a thorough in- vestigation of city schools during the past two weeks, for the purpose of as- certaining their exact condition. He states that he found the progress be- ing made by all the grades during this term most remarkable, and the schools will probably make the best record of any year of their existence.
 The class average in the higher grades Is S2, which is considered ex- ceptionally good, the lower grades are almost as high. Judge Disque attrib- utes much of the fine showing made by the pupils to the great interest shown in the schools by the parents of the children and the excellent corps of finely trained teachers.
 Sam Keener, a lineman in the employ of the Southern Bell Telephone Com pany. fell from pole near the South ern Steel plant this morning and broke an arm and was otherwise badly bruised.
 A second attempt was made to enter the home of Mrs. Vellmer last night on Randall street by thieves and they were scared away by the lady firing a pistol at the door. This neighbor- hood has been the scene of several attempts of this kind within the past few days. The police are inclined to think that 1t is a negro who is famiI- far with the surroundings as the at tempts are always made in the ab- sence of the men of the family.
 The police have been asked to look out for a man representing himself as F. L. Stevenson, or Mir. Wilson, and school teachers and superintendents are warned not to have any dealings with him. Stevenson or Wilson claims to represent the American Press Asso- citation, and is said to have been solic- iting orders for sets of books and charging an advance payment of from two to three dollars to pay postage, etc, and the books are never delivered

 Al sensation was sprung in the city court this morning, while the injunc- ton proceedings against B. T. Collier, a restaurant keeper, and R. L. Lewis, proprietor of the Commercial hotel, were being heard. The attorney for Lewis made a motion that Collier be declared in contempt of court on the grounds that he had violated the order of the court. This brought on a live ly discussion between the attorneys with the result that the case was con tinued in order to hear evidence in the contempt proceedings. Both parties afe well known.

 No Montgomery Merchants Licensed to
 Sell Butter Substitute.
 The city officials are manifesting an intention of getting after. in somewhat strenuous fashion, the dealers in oleo- margarine and butterine, if they can find any in Montgomery. There are rumors that some of the spurious butt ter is being used here. but 1t is sim gular fact that none of the grocers or market men have taken out a license to deal in such products
 At the meeting of the City Council Monday evening, Alderman Griffith, himself grocer, who formerly hand led -oleo but has ceased to handle it, presented a resolution, calling upon License Inspector J c. Cowan for in- formation as to whether any licenses for handling the substitutes for butter had been issued in Montgomery. and instructing him to enforce strictly the ordinance relating to its sale.
 No licenses for handling oleomar- garine have been taken out this year." said License Inspector Cowan yester- day. land so far as I can learn, no lo- cal dealers are handling 1t. I have today. since learning of the passage of the resolution calling for information on the subject, gone out and seen probably fifteen or twenty grocers, but all of them assured me they were not handling the stun.
 "The representatives in Montgomery of the packers who make the stuff tell me they do not handle oleomargarine here at all. If some citizen wants a can or a keg of oleo, for use on his table, or in a boarding house or some thing of that sort. the representatives here will take his order, and wire 1t to headquarters, the desired quantity be- ing sent direct from there to the con- sumner.
 "Of course, we cannot touch a case of that kind, It has been held in sim- liar instances that to interfere in any manner is to violate the interstate commerce law. And. so far as can find out. 1t Is only in cases of that

TRADE WITH OUR ISLANDS.

Statistics of trade between the United
States and its island possessions for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1906, have
continue TO be our most expensive lux
ury. We bought nearly $4,000, 900 worth
of Philippine products. the item of
hemp being far the largest, and sold
the islanders s5,45s,000 worth of our
goods. The shipments to the island
showed a decrease Of more than three
quarters Of a million dollars as com
pared with the fiscal year ended June
30 1905. So the balance of trade against
the United States was in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000. 900.
But If every cent of our trade with
the Philippines was clear profit the ma
tional ledger would show a big deficit.
The cost of maintaining our govern
ment there. the pay of the soldiers and
the other expenses that seem TO be ne
cessary. runs into millions of dollars
every year. Decidedly the Philippines
are expensive. However. we have them
and there, seems to be no decent way of
letting them go. We must keep them,
no matter what they cost.
our other island possessions make a
better showing. Hawaii stands, of
course. at the head Of the list, but Porto
Rico is running a close second. The
total trade. to and from Hawaii, was
ssS 900 600, and TO and from Porto Rico
s3s. SOC. 600. In 1905 Hawaii had a big
lead over Porto Rico, the figures being
s47. 100000 and s2s.6OO.OOO respectively.
The falling Off in the Hawaiian trade is
attributed to a reduction in the price
of sugar. which. as is generally known,
is Hawali's chief export to this coun-
try. IN both 1905 and 1905 Porto Rico
purchased more American products
than Hawaii We sold Porto Rico in
1905 upward of 81. 600. 900 more than in
1905. and bought sS,OOO.OOO more.
Porto Rico bought large quantities of
structural iron and steel cotton goods,
provisions and rice. Principal items in

THE CUBAN REBELLION.

The revolution i'm Cuba is assuming
serious proportions. In spite of the eff
1orts Of President Palma and his ad-
Visors to minimize the situation. the
truth is that conditions are very
alarming. When insurgents are strons
enough to capture city of 5000 people
mus giving them q base OF opera lions
IN an important section Of a province
tney cannot be lightly regarded. San
Luis is now the stronghold and citadel
OF the insurgents, and the entire pro-
vince Of Pinar del Rio is practically IN
their hands.
II should be remembered. too that
the rebels I'm that section are led by a
FORMER member OF the Cuban congress
a man who must necessarily have had
a considerable following or he could
not have been elected. President Palma
appears TO have been caught in a state
OF total unpreparedness. He processes
70 be able to put an end to the out
break at once, but his ability to carry
out this promise is very doubtful. II
will take him some time to get troops
on the scene OF operations, and the in
surgents are busily engaged, mean
while. in stirring up the people
There is little reason for doubling
that Palma has been running things i'm
Cuba with a high hand Even the CEN
sored reports that have come from the
island indicate that the most unfair
methods were used in the last election
and that. as an expression of the will
Of the people, It was valueless. The
United States, of course, cannot inter-
fere in any way, either for or against
the government. The Cubans will have
to settle their quarrel as best they can.
The island is theirs; the United States
took il away from Spain and gave Il to
them. and they must now work out
their own salvation.
1t seems a pity that they have not
been able to get along without quarrel
ing. And some people Will Immediately
argue that the only way TO prevent
bloodshed and continuous strife in
Cuba will be for the United States Ia
annex the island. This could not be
done without a vote Of the people and
if they should vote in favor of annexa-
tion it would not do the United States
any great amount Of good. We have
plenty Of troubles on our hands with
the present island possessions.
It would be far better to let the Gu
bans go ahead with their little revolu-
tions, having them at every change OF
the moon, II they want them that
often. only, as has been said. it is toe
bad they cannot appreciate the gift OF
liberty, TO get together and make q
model little rapuhliC

the Hawaiian list are mineral oils,
breadstuffs, provisions. iron and steel
manufactures. A digest of the Alaskan
section OF the report says:
In 1905 we sent to Alaska nearly as
much merchandise as we sent TO Ha-
wall. and in 1906 Alaska's purchases
here amounted to between two and
three millions more in value than Ha-
wallis. Shipments from Alaska TO this
country showed slight reduction, due
10 a decrease in the sales of canned
salmon. The value in both years was
not far from ten millions. But Alaska
ships us large quantities of gold. both
domestic and foreign. Gold of domestic
production shipped in 1906 came to
twelve and one-half millions, az
against nine millions in 1905. and the
gold shipped out from the adjacent
British territory came to seven and
one-half millions in 1906 as against ten
and three-quarter millions in 1906"
1t appears that all of our possessions
except the Philippines are profitable.

CURRENT POLITICS.

wednesday was a busy day in polit-
zeal circles The Republicans turned
down Editor Rosewater, who aspired to
represent Nebraska In the United
States senate, the Democrats of
Georgia nominated an editor, 'Hoke
Smith OF the Atlanta Journal, for gov
ernor. Incidentally the Georgians de-
feated two other editors, Clark Howell
Of the Atlanta Constitution and J. III.
Estill Of the Savannah News. Both of
the defeated candidates are very estim-
able gentlemen. Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Howell are really national figures. the
former by reason of his service in the
last Cleveland cabinet. and the latter
because, as the successor of Henry w.
Grady, he has done splendid work.
The Georgians chose wisely. however.
In nominating Mr.. Smith. Hoke Smith
Is a man of more than ordinary moral
courage. He was, If our recollection

Smith took the stump for Bryan in

time when John G.. Carlisle, then secre-
tary Of the treasury, and other prom
inent administration men were advo-
eating the Palmer and Buckner ticket.
though they well knew that in so doing
they were practically supporting Nc
Kinley. Smiths personal character is
clean, and he will make a f1rst-class
governor.
The defeat of Mr.. Rosewater must
have been a bitter blow for that Repub-
lican leader For years it has been the
ambition of his life to go to the senate.
All his plans have been made with that
object in view. but, i'm his newspaper
business, he had made a great many
enemies in his party as we'll as out of
it, 1t must have been a great joy to
them to plunge the knife into the Rose
water ambition at a time when II
seemed near it's elimination. The sue
cessful candidate. Norris Brown, is not
possessed of anything like the ability
Of Rosewater. He is a country lawyer,
who is serving a term as attorney gen.
eral, a place in which he has done
nothing whatever 10 distinguish him
