Not An Issue.

Camden Banner.
 Some of our contemporaries are cry ing out, state sovereignty" and are ready to bring on civil war. some 20 back to the issues of 1881. while others retail Outrages committed during the days of reconstruction.
 This railroad rate law is not pollt- teal auestion-it is a business matter. The managers of these great arteries of commerce believe the laws passed py the last Legislature are oppressive ana detrimental to their interest, ana they have applied to the courts for redress: The courts of the land are open 70 aLl its citizens. and we are casting aurs and suspicion upon the Federal court without justice or reason.
 In l8si tfies greatest question evar af- fecting States rights was referred to the Supreme Court of the United States. That decision is today known as the Dred-Scott decision. After being be- fore that great tribunal for three years, in 1857. by vote ot 10 z' they decided not only that slaves were prop be returned to their owners. no mat ter in what State they were found; ana their decision went still further, for 1t declared that the Act of Congress known as the Missouri Compromise, was null and void. and that man could carry his slaves to any State or Terri tory and be protected. Occurring at time when the abolition sentiment was overwhelmingly strong at the North. it was the strongest proof that this court could not be swayed by prejudice nor passion.
 7'ourteen of the Northern States re- belled at this decision. and passed laws to conflict with that opinion. which laws were known as Personal Liberty Laws.
 To this august tribunal must all this railroad agitation be carried. and shall the South now rebel? Rather let us, as rational, law abiding, business men, urge the courts to hasten decision. and not wait three years, as in the ca~c above cited. Business will suffer. and the wave O. prosperity, now riding over the South. should not be carried among the breakers and dashed asunder against the rocks of fanaticism and demagogism. It is beyond dispute that corporations need regulation by law and not by appeals to passion, which will surely lead to anarchy.
 The Supreme Court of the United States has ever stood for the rights of the States. and The Banner commends Judge Miller for his bold stand in sup port of a branch of that court in ds- fiance of public opinion

MT. SmaIrs III-COnsidered Plan Of
 Campaign.


 MT. Small, president of the Commer- cial Photographers Union, announces that the telegraphers have begun to raise two large sums of money, called funds" one to be for the benefit of the strikers and the other to be used in campaign work in favor of gov ernment ownership of the telegraphs. It can be questioned whether the teIegraphers have ever voted on this matter of government ownership, but, if they have done so and really want the government to own the telegraphs, they are doing the very thing most hurtfuf to their cause as unionists. The government does not recognize the un- ion card. IL runs an open shop ana will always do so. The public will not stand the unionizing of any Federal department or bureau. Place in the government service must be open To all. As for pay, the government does not pay as well as the private com panies do, and cannot be coerced by strikes or in any other way. The worst feature of the proposed move ment however. is that 1t will take the telegraphers into politics, with every chance against success In that feld, and all chances in favor of defeat or any legitimate reforms they may de sire Possibly MT. Small is talking without authority; possibly, also, there will be no fund" raised for the pur- pose named: and then the only result of this proclamation of intention will be to demonstrate MT. Smalfs inca pacity as a safe and sound leader

A Clean. Plain Statement.

Sullnan OemQcraI
 The statement of Hon. Gregory L. Smith. of Mobile, the leading counsel for the Louisville and Nashville Rail road Company, In the matter of rate lit- igation now before the United States Court. Is orderly and scholarly. He does not rant abuse and talk like an anarchist, as do the Conner socialists. - Surely the people will remain calm while the courts of the country settle our controversies in calm and order ly manner. We of the South do not want the reputation that has strangled Central America. The hot heads are selfish in their rawlings, they are look- Ing out for some political or business advantage. Everything that the farm CTS raise, the workmans wages, the cotton spinners products. have adVane- ed heavily in price; there has been no advance on freight and passenger rates, notwithstanding the increased cost of labor, iron which enters so largely in the business of railroading, lumber and other materials. Can any man believe that the railroads of the country can meet the heavily Imposed taxation, the advance in labor and all construction and other expenses and at the same time reduce rates? If this condition did not mean oonfiscation now, we fail to see why in the good old days, just passed, when the railroads are said to have dominated the State, there was not a million miles of railroad built in Alabama
 HOW would Castro-Comer like law compelling him to run his cotton mills and sell cotton cloth at 8 uniform price of five cents per pound, regardless of the cost of raw material, labor and other fixed expenses. Don't you sup pose that he would cry out confiscation and fly to any court that offered pros pect of relief from such unjust laws?
 The railroads will win their suits, they ought to win them, and 1t will be very much to the interest of the people of Alabama when they do win them. Notice will be served that law, com mon sense and decency reign in Ala bama.

A Reflection,

Troy Messenger.
 Rumor has been rife here for sev- eral weeks to the effect that there is to be a change in the postma stership at this place, and coupled with this rumoF is one to the effect that an out here to fill the place. Considerable dis satisfaction is expressed over this fea- ture of the case as there are several applicants here at home for the place, and any one of whom would no doubt give entire satisfaction to our people, and after all that is the thing to be considered.-Bullock County Breeze
 It is a reflection upon any commu- ntty for the administration to go out side of that continuity to select. a postmaster and if this be contempla- ted at Union Springs the people should raise a mighty protest. There are doubtless many men in Union Springs who would hll the position well. To bring a Republican from the outside would not only be a reflection l., on t5dn Un- ion Springs but also retleGtloh reflect ta upohh spch methods to pay political debts.

The Norfolk Landmark says Here Is an anomaly: the delegations of the Southern States to the National Demo- cratic Convention have heretofore had less influence in the selection of Pres idential tickets than have the delegI- tons of these same States to the Ma tional Republican Conventions, though practically all of the electoral votes of the South have been regularly cast for the Democratic ticket.

Kicking the Under Dog.

BaItlmOre AINtIICdII' ,
 The revival of hazing at the Naval Academy, even in a very mild form. as reported. only proves the ugly truth that the desire to kick the under dog springs eternal in the youthful human breast. And a man with a whole class and all the traditions of a school against him is certainly the most de- fenseless kind of an under dog.

ton The Portsmouth Star says:
 We lay it all on destiny-this work of the Mckinley administration and the leader of the Democratic party and it was a sorry trick destiny played us in the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain It was not neces- sary to bring the war to conclusion. Schiey had finished that. The Philip pines are the spoil of war of con quest, as much so as California. The price of S20, ,000 was only a matter of deception to pacify the public con- science.
 And a sorry bargain 1t was. If the whole miserable outfit were put up for sale to the highest bidder it would bring one-tenth of what 1t has cost this country. Old Destiny played us a sorry trick.

 T see where the street railway com panies in all the Alabama cities are shedding crocodile tears because the wicked Legislature took away their to their friends" said a member of the Alabama Legislature yesterday.
 Nobody knows better than mem Der of the Legislatere how much they want to keep on extending this courtesy to their friends. The bill which was considered by the Legfsla- ture and which sought ts prevent the issuance of street car passes nad De- hind it one of the largest ana most industries lobbies that was at the Cap itol during the session.
 Through the efforts of this lobby the bill was passed by the House. oy- CT in the Senate in the closing days the lobby made such an earnest enort to have the measure passed that some of the Senators began to enquire the reason for such zeal and industry. It was ascertained that d paid lobby was behind the measure. and it was freely said that the lobby was working TOT combination of the street car compa- nies. which may or may not have been true. At any rate who would spend money on the lobby for this measure except the street car companies7
 .'Of course the street car companies have the right to withdraw tneif passes. Nobody can deny that. But let them do it freely and in the open. not get DehlHu Inf suotti luSe lhet 'iAS bad Legislature' made them doFft.
 Between tiseir signs of regret the companies say that they are not aple to issue passes because of one of the bills regulating common carriers. to which class they say street car lines belong. This may or may not be true. It is improbable however. that the law will ever be tested fin the courts. But it looks to me as though the compan- les have taken the step voluntarily and of their own accord and then shifted the blame on the Legislature"
