sNEERING AT MUGwUMPs.

President Roosevelt, according to William Everett, of Massachusetts, does not believe that mugwumps can grapple with the tendencies of these times" Commenting on that opinion The Hartford Times contends that the time has gone by when any respectable American is heard to sheer at mug wumps Among the leading men who were so classed in 1884 were Henry ward Beecher. Carl Schurz, Henry L.. Pierce of Boston, and a host of the ablest and strongest men who had ever identified themselves with the Repub- lican Party. Nearly all the men with whom the President was most closely related, politically and socially. in the earlier years of his career were mug wumps in 1884. They showed the high est courage and they wons their fight. If ever there was red blood in Amer ican politics, they contributed it."
 A brief definition of a mugwump is given by the dictionaries as 'one who votes for the most suitable candidate regardless of party lines,' and the def milton is a good one There come times and occasions when some of the best. strongest and most patriotic of American citizenship find it impossible to vote their party ticket. Without changing their politics. or repudiating their party belief they vote for the other man because they honestly be- lieve his election will be best for the country.
 Such men are called mugwumps, but the more proper apellation for them would be patriots, for they are broad enough and patriotic enough to place their country's veal above the demands of partisan politics. Such men are not confined to one political party All par ties have them and are none the worse for them. The Times gives the names of some. but there have been many in recent years and they have no req son to feel ashamed of the appellation. They have the real red blood" in fhenn

to South American ports. The real trouble Is that our manufacturers do not show the interest that they should show in foreign trade. They have been taught to believe that the home mar ket Is the only one worth considering. The practice of many of our exporters is to send abroad goods that they can not sell at home. Not enough atten- tion is paid to the wishes of foreign buyers And when we have to com pete with others who show the utmost consideration for those wishes we ought not to be surprised that we suffer somewhat in the competition.
 obviously the heavy traffic duties im- posed on imports have discouragiug effect on foreign trade, and The Indian apolis News is one of the strong, in- dependent newspapers of the country to see 1t. Ship owners make as much money on return as on outgoing car goes. Yet we do. all we can to ex- clude imports. These taxes thus tend to lesson the business which our ship owners might otherwise do. As trade Is nothing more than the exchange of goods, you necessarily limit exports when you limit imports In holding the home market for ourselves-to use the protection lingo-we do much to shut ourselves out of the foreign mar- kets It is foolish to think that these conditions can be changed by sub sidy. The first thing for us to do is to make up our minds that we want for eign trade, and the next thing is to go out and get it. We must realize that the productive capacity of cur fac tories has run far beyond our ability to consume, great as that ability is. We do not need to buy foreign trade. It is waiting for us. All we have to do is to reach out and take it.
 we believe that the Republican lead CTS realize that 1t would be disastrous for them to answer the demand of the people for a reduction of taxes by imposing new ones. To refuse to re- duce the tariff and then to give an- other industry free access to the Fed eral Treasury would arouse storm of criticism, and would also cost many members of Congress their seats"

Open the COona.

Birmingham Ledger.
 MT. Hoadley already talks like an Alabamian when he discusses any part of the district. After looking careful ly over the property of the Alabama Consolidated, he saw it's property on the Coosa, and instantly saw that the Coosa should be opened to the sea. No man can look at the Cool and not think the same thing. It is a mighty river. with plenty of water to float any steamboat of river size.
 Mr.. Hoadley has become interested in Alabama, and, almost the first thing that attracted His attention was that such a river should be blocked by were put in should be practically aban- doned by the government because the commercial value of the river. a question with which engineers have nothing to do.
 The locks already in the Coosa at locks 1, 2 and are magnificent pieces of work that will endure forever. |. Some little work is being done at lock 4. but the work is not pushed with the vigor thai inspires confidence. The Coosa should be open now. This gen eration should use it. It should be part of the present development that is needing all the ways of transpor- tation.
 The Coosa has so much agricultural produce, so much iron and steel, SD much building stone, so much marble and timber that the State needs it in her march to progress.

Immigration.

Syllacauga Advance
 Alabama needs miIllon more white people. It would double the value of all the land in the State if we could get them. It would change many of our old time customs and habits, but many of them need changing.
 Every time a progressive people or a progressive paper begins to talk for immigration. some traditionist begins to urge objections to it. Certainly there are objections, many of them to every plan of progress ever presented to humanity. These ancient and hon. orables begin to tell us that we only want good people, only want people we can assimilate only want people from Northern Europe and a dozen other objections.
 We have had State governments in the United States for an hundred years and not one of them has set up any objection to any immigrant that wanted to come in. Any European, from Sic fly to Norway, can go to any State he pleases Why then all this talk about it when it is proposed to induce immi- g6ants to come to Alabama?

No RensonabIe Excuse.

Fort Payne JOufndl.
 If the Legislature of Alabama chooses to follow the silly example of the In terstate Commerce Commission and pass a law prohibiting railroad from issu- ing passes to newspapers Tn exchange for advertising. the members will hear from the papers immediately and to good purpose. There Is no reasonable the business of the papers. The pass es are not free to the newspaprs. They are paid for by the stock in trade of the paper men which represents money and they save the publishers money which they would have to pay but for to rob the newspapers of this business it is only right that they should pass another law requiring the railroads to continue their advertising on cash basis and thus return to the newspa- pers the revenue of which they will have been deprived. TO begin with however, there Is no reason or jus tihcation for the Legislature interfer- ing in this matter.

It really reads like a bit of ancie

It really reads like a bit of ancient history, or like clipping from some newspaper of a quarter of a century ago, but 1t is from New York paper of last Friday, 8nd reads this way: "N. H. Vreeland, President of the New York City Railway Company. announc- ed yesterday that the company is to do away with the horse-cars that for years have been traversing the streets of New York" No doubt most of our readers will agree with us that such an announcement from the largest city on the continent seems out of date. but it is fact that street cars drawn by horses are still used to some extent in New York. It has not been caused by lacR os enterprise, we imagine. but because local conditions on some of the streets have been such that cleo tric cars would not be put on certain lines, MT. vreeland says:
 There has been very grave misun- derstanding on the part of the travel ing public caused by the horse cars be- ing operat ted of late years in Manhat- tan. The problem from an operating standpoint has been one of the most difficult to solve. We all know the vast public and private Improvements which are being made in and around New York creating new centers for the distribution of passengers New bridges are being constructed across the East River and new tunnels ars well under way. Up to a few months ago it was not definitely known as to what arrangements the city and pri- vate lcorporations would make at the various new terminals in New York to accommodate the traveling public $

Editor The AdvertIser:
 l notice in Sundays paper a letter from an old Confederate soldier near Letohatchie, written to his Represent ative, asking him to use his efforts in securing an appropriation for him to enable him to buy a cork leg.

The short lived attempt to set aside John sharpe Williams as the Demo- cratic House leader In Congress, de- veloped the fact that two causes were operating against him. One was that he was a leader in fact, and as such
 stirred up the resentments of some puffed-up members. who did not like
 the Idea of acting, as it were, under orders" Another was the hope that adverse action by the House might hell hts opponents in the contest for elec- fIon as Senator from Mississippi to suc- oeed Mir. Money. Mir. Williams has shown great capacity as a public man
 and more quality for leadership than any other Democrat in Congress and we are glad that the attempt to set him aside has died of actual weakness
