CAMPAIGN METHODS.

There Has Not Been Case of Disor.

 Birmingham Age-Herald.
 q have been close observer of Alabama politics and have taken part in number of campaigns in the State since 1874, but have never seen one conducted on a higher plane than the one just closing" said II A. Skeggs, Jr.. at the Morris hotel last night
 During this campaign I have seen two and three thousand people at po- litical gatherings and have seen no disorder nor have I heard any discus sions that ladies could not have heard Indeed. ladies have attended many of the speakings and have taken live interest in the speeches regarding the issues before the people
 This improvement in campaign methods In Alabama is commendable and harbingers a better tone for our general political life"

ANOTHER ONE GONE.

Another one has departed from this troublous world. Another of the land marks of our country's eventful but vide. We don't mean a politician. though they fall like leaves in autumn We don't refer to great statesmen, nor even to crowned heads. though they sometimes pass in their checks and quit the game.
 What we are now feeling sad about is an announcement of the death of an- other one of Washingtons "body-ser- vants," who have been marching on in a seemingly endless procession as long as we can remember. ana ~e are sorne- times inclined to ask, with Macbeth, Will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?" True. they have not been as thick of late as formerly, and we were becoming appre hensive lest the supply had been exhausted. We thought that in the way of body ser wants, as in other earthly matters, there was a limit, and that tho limit had been passed. but that was a mis- take. There are others"
 This last one to go was known among her neighbors, and will hence forth be known to fame as Aunt Ma hala Lewis, who haJ just died at Ot- iowa, Kas What adverse fate it was that banished and consigned her to obscurity and Ottowa we are not in- formed In more favorable localities she would have been petted and made much of, would have been written up and Illustrated in the papers, would have been exhibited as a precious and unique possession. In short. she would have been one of the most valuable as- sets of the town or community. But she actually died in Ottowa and Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, when she was consigned to the tomb. The shame of it!
 And Aunt Mahala's claims were prob ably as good as were those of others who have made similar claims in days past She stated her age at 12O years, and if she didn't know who should? She was there ell the time and must | nave known all aOOuI u. nat would have made her 12 or IS years old when the Father of his Country passed away, and a negro girl a dozen years of age could make herself very handy about the house of a Southern planter In the words of the song she might have said:
 T pass de bottle when Massa's dry, An bresh a=~AT de blue-tal fly" If she didn't actually pass the bottle for doubtless George w had soTr emn and attentive male servant to at tend to that part cf the household l economy-she could brush away the flies while he indulged in post pran- dial nap. could wash his feet and per- form many other little domestic ser vices about the house Those who are old enough to remember the slavery times know how handy an active ne- gro girl of 12 or IS could be and how many things she could do. If Aunt Mahala was not away off about her age she might very well have been one among the numerous body servants of The first" etc.
 The obscure death of this latest specimen causes us to conclude that

The Kansas City Journal is liable to get itself into disfavor with the great and only at Washington. Speaking of Roosevelt's endorsement of the spell ing reform fad 1t says that "the views of the President of the United States on such n subject are no more than the views of any other citizen, and are entitled to no more consideration" We have been led to behcve that the Re- publican organs regard anything said by Roosevelt as of paramount import ance, to be taken by all the people as the law and the gospel.

the patriots and patriotcsses of the present time are not doing their whole duty regarding these relics of dis tant past The fact that one of them died In such an unknown place as ot- iowa, Kas. leads to the disturbing sus- picioa that others of them may be slowed away in equally obscure places, where their claims are disregarded and Where they may finally die and be buried with no one the wiser. What has been may be again and the Kansas misfortune may be repeated elsewhere
 It occurs to us that it would be the proper thing If the Sons and Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, or the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston, or some other patriotic organ ization should at once take measures to seek out and identify all the other body servants of George w. and If necessary round them up where they will not be forgotten. They must be right scarce and the remaining ones deservo to be preserved. Some of our children or grana-chllofeh may HNe ~ see the day when there'll not be a sol itary specimen of tuis old body-ser- want cult left on earth. Then the last link will be broken which binds us to Wa shington's household. and tho peo- pie will feel mean about their failure to preserve them. It may be that there are none left now, but we have been thfnking that way for quarter of century, and the recent ottowa in- cident is calculated to make us doubt if we have eeen the l-st of them. And if Aunt Mahala vas the real and com plete last one Kansas will crow un- bearably. Cannot another be found in a better placer

snunNmen Wake Poor Husband..

 Senator Sutherland of Utah expresses the opinion that intermarriage with the white race has improved the Indian in every way. This view is contrary to the experience and observation of mos. persons who have come in contact with halfbreeds, who. on the contrary, ar" subjects of physical weakness and men tai deterioration. This is especially true where the fathers, as is usually the case. are the absolute men of the bor- der or reservation, known as "squaw- men" The offspring of such in mixed marriages, especially If girls, have no place In the world and would be eX- cused in cherishins a bitter resentment against their fathers. to whose gross nature and sodden indifference to conse- quenccs they are indebted for life.
