The Senatorship.


Now that the primaries are a
month old and the voters have re-
covered from the animosities of the
primary contest and are taking their
bearings, there is general lineup by
the Republicans for the entire ticket
from governor to coroner. This is
due to the fact that the voters of
Mobiles county are true blue Repub-
licans, endowed with generous al
lotmentf of common sense. Natur-
ally after every contest in conven-
ton or primary election some bitter
ness Is felt, hut the time that must
elapse before. election day permits
this to vanish. The Republicans of
this district realize that it is very
important that the state senator
chosen this year should be Repub-
lican. A Democrat would find him
self with small minority in the
state senate and his value as repre-
sentative and legislator would be
very close to zero, regardless of his
personal ability. Further, the sem
ator chosen at this time will be call
ed upon to vote for two United
States senators, one to be chosen
next winter and one two years lat
or. It is essential to the welfare of
both the state and nation and the
continuance of our prosperity. that
Republicans be chosen to these pla-
ces and only a.Republican should be
trusted to vote for Republicans in
such cases. The contest..in..this::elec-
ton in Mobiles county, is confined to
two, or at most three places, viz:
Congressman, state senator and reg
lister Of deeds, but we believe that
the Republicans will, when election
day arrives, see the wisdom of vot-
ing straight ticket. While there
Was strong opposition to the nomi-
nation of congressman McCleary, he

Mr.. Bedford was nominated by a
good majority and will receive the
full party vote on election day. His
opponent, Mr.. Flynn, the democratic
nominee, is making fight for the
election, but it is already apparent
his efforts are hopeless. He based
his expectation Of success on the de-
lection in the Republican ranks, but
as time passes it is clear this will
not materialize. Mr.. Flynn is per-
sonally a clean and able man and is
held in high esteem by all who

INTERSTATE COMMERCE. DECISIONS.
Lower Rates on Westbound than on East
bound Traffic for Grand Trunk Western.

Washington Aug. 27.-The Interstate Commerce
Commission in a decision to-day in the case OF the
A. J. Phillips Company against the Grand Trunk
Western Railway and others sustained the some
what lower rates westbound than on eastbound
traffic. because Of different conditions, but held
that no satisfactory reason appears for a greater
disparity than prevails articles OF substantially
the same character in the classes. The commission
pointed out that in unjust discrimination cases the
difference in of manufacture to the competing
shippers offers ground of itself for rate ADJUST
ment. The case was sustained with the expecta-
tion that the defendants will substantially readust

In the case of the Hastings CNIinn.) Mailing
Company against the Chicago. Milwaukee & St
Paul Railway the commission in a decision an
nounced to-day held that the third and fourth sec
tions Of the Interstate Commerce act are not vio-
lated. because of competitive conditions but that
the coal rates to Hastings are unreasonably high
and should not exceed 81 so net ton on anthracite
and 81 25 net ton on bituminous coal AS the case
was decided under the old law, the commission held
that Il had authority to fix the rates OF the
defendant, and no order was made. The commission
also decided that, as Duluth, Mimi, has the same
coal rates to Hastings Superior Wis, the rail-
road commission OF Minnesota has ample authority
70 control the situation.
The commission has dismissed the cases OF the
village Of C1oodhue Minn against the Chicago
Great Western Railroad. and OF the Pine Island
Farmers Elevator Company against the same road,
the ground that the discrimination charged
against the roads was not shown TO be undue. Ihe
dismissal without prejudice to certain subsequent

OIL TO ABSORB ALCOHOL.
STANDARD Company Buying Pr1nci-
nal DistiIEing Plants.

Chicago. Aug. 27.-The Standard OF Company
has taken steps toward acquiring ownership Of
all the principal distilling plants in the United
States, according TO a special dispatch from
Peoria. ILL.,. to 1.-THE Tribune" A conference was
held Friday last in Chicago between representa-
tves Of the distilling interests and the Standard
Oil Company. A price has been set upon every
distillery in Peoria and indications are that
deal will be effected and the plants will pass
into the hands of the Standard soon.
It is said the price asked was considered too
high by the Standard Oil people, and the latter
threatened. If suitable terms could not be
reached. to build distilling houses of their own.
The chief reason of this action on the part Of
the Standard Oil Company was the recent pas
sage of the alcohol bill by Congress.
Experts employed by the Rockefeller interests,
after experimenting, reported that their product
cannot be manufactured cheaply enough TO
make It a serious competitor OF gasolene but
that IT could be used in the manufacture OF
mercerized cotton and other fabrics and would
be an extremely favorable product TO control
Terre Haute. Ind, Aug. 27.-Terre Haute dis
tillers returned to-day from Chicago where the
monthly meeting Of both trust and independent
distillers was held. 1t is stated by local owners
of distilleries that attorneys for the Standard
Oil Company have approached distillers. asking
them If they would entertain a proposition TO
buy their plants Practically all have replied
aflrmatively
It is the opinion Of distillers here that the
Standard made the overtures. with the probable
intention OF engaging largely in the rnanufact-
OF denatured alcohol. At the Chicago
meeting 1t was the general opinion that the
outlook is favorable for an increase in business
of 20 per cent this fall and winter. At the In
ternal revenue office here the receipts for the
first twenty-one days Of August this year were
greater than for the month Of August last year.
