I take it that Wiiliams nomination Tor Senator will dissipate what little oppcsition there Is to his leadership of the minority or the Eixty-first Congress I take It, too. that he will be returned to tho Sixty-first Con- gress and stranger things have happened than that he will be Speaker of that body. Tn the ordinary course of events. he VIII not enter the Senate until 1911. when Mir. Mon ey's term expires. The work of the next session may determine the election of 1908. If the minorities of both houses are led with consummRte skill. and the maJorities commit a series of blunders. there Is no telling what might happen in 1908. The RepublIcans decline to take the country into their confidence on the question of the tar lff except that they cannot revise 1t In ad- ~vance of a general election; but there ia the tariff Roosevelt and Root have made with Germany and extended to France and Eng land.
 The Republicans will have to do something with that. and & united Democracy. skillfui- G. O.. P. in a hole from which there is no escape.
 I sincerely hope that when John sharp takes his seat he will have Roosevelt and Bryan for colleagues later to be re-enforced by Carmack. These would give a zest to the debates that would recall the Senates of conkling and Thurman. Blaine and Ben. Hill, Carpenter and Lamar.
 It would teach Roosevelt some statesman- ship, and Bryan would have opportunity to learn some Democracy. The Senate is the grand council chamber where idea combats idea John sharp will be of the elite of the front rank.

Pretty ExpensIve nridre.

The Technical World calls attention to the bridge that is to be built across the Mississippi river at Thebes, H.. 13O miles south of St. Louis. It is to cost no less than $2,S0O,00O. which might seem q pretty heavy investment for bridge. But not a shadow of doubt Is entertained by the builders that the bridge will prove a paying investment In fact, they had arrived at the certainty of its paying before the plans for It's construction were complete, and it is said that their fg- ures show just how many years VIII be required for the direct and indirect receipts of the bridge to balance it's total cost and the interest on the money.

 Eufaula, Aug. 31.-(Special )-News has just been received here that W. l.. Bush. an old and esteemed citizens of the county. who resides near Spivey, attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor.
 Mir. Bush and his wife reside alone, and at an hour when his wife was looking after her duties about the yard he seized his razor and inflicted two deep and ugly cuts about his throat. They were not sufficient to cause death. A nearby physician was quickly suR- moned, and by active work thinks he has him in a fair way to recover.
 MT. Bush is over 60 years old. De- spondency over business affairs Is as- signed as the cause.

John sharp Williams was elected to fhe Fifty-third Congress, and has been mem- Der of the House of Reprssentativeg since March {, 1893. the day Grover Cleveland was the second time inau.uTaIAd President of the United States. This yuung Missis- sippian, who sustains to the statesfearship of this generation of Eis State and his section the relation Robert J. Walker sus-- aided, upon his entrance to the Capital City, and attracted small attentiom He was an extensive, an intelligent, and a suc- cessfuul planter of state whose agricultural interests were manyfold all it's other inter ests, and in consequence it was but natural that he should be assigned to the Commit tte of Agriculture in the organization of the House. He attended strictly to his duties in that capacity, and lent to the delibera- tions of that council board vast amount of practical common sense. that was the result of his personal experience as planter and husbandmRn.
 When he rose the first time to address the House st any considerable length he was accorded respectful hearing. and that day he won his spurs. The speech was no fer vid deciamation, not an appeal to passion, not an oration, not an essay. He is a schol- arly mau. but has no pretenses to the grace of an orator. and he Is not an Apollo in phyiscal presence, and he is not an Adonis in physical beauty. His is not a dulcet voice, but on this occasion there was a something in the speech and the man that challenged attention and commanded re- spect. Congress pricked up It's ears, and before he had spoken a quarter of an hour 1t was the opinion of Congress that this little mar would make his mark. and he did. In argument he is sound from his political standpoint. and his language is superfluous words He Is an able and accomplished debater He is fluent. and his self-possession evidences the man of mental, moral, and physical courage.

Mir. Williams saw his party go down in defeat in 1894 and in 1896. He saw the Re- publican majority in the Fifty-fourth and Flfty-fifth Congresses as exultant. as intol- erant, as insolent as the Democratic party had been after the elections 1890 and 1892 He saw the splendid discipline of the e. O. P. in Congress. it's clear vision of the Bft- uation, its knowledge of what 1t wanted. it's indomitable resolution to attain it's ends, and the triumphant incorporation of Repub- lican policies in the law of the land. He saw public clamor drive Congress to hys- terla and had grown to be conspicuous figure on the public stage when the McKin- ley administration reluctantly entered upon the war with Spain. He saw the victory that was inevitable. and of all our public men none saw with clearer vision the moment ous possibilities of the policy of expansion. Against that policy, Henry U Johnson. of the old Burnt" district. was the first man to open his mouth fin either house of Con gress and John sharp Williams was the second.
 from Saxon and Welsh ancestry, who had peopIed North Carolina. all consideration of interest and patriotism, propelled by in- exorable and infallible instinct. caused John Sharp williams to make a conscientious study of the race problem. something that MT. Gillette, of Massachusetts. knows little more about than he knows of the social system of the planet Mars. No one knows better than MT. williams that the very ex- istence of the South depends on q wise solu- tion of the question. All that Mir. Williams or anybody else. knows of the subject, at this time is that tho only safety is in race integrity, and the only possible way &o maintain race integrity is continued white supremacy. Every northern man capable of looking at this question with intellectual integrity and moral charity should read John sharp williams's speeches on It.

There is something in the make up of John sharp Williams that comDels men to love him as well as admire Speaker Cannon seems to think even more of him than he did of Gov. Savers, who was his chum for several years. It is not that he is 2 sound reasoner and @ strong debater that he has been fortunate in his leadership. but that men respect and confide in him. Perhaps John c. Breckenridge and Abraham Lincoln did not think less alike than Williams and Lincoln, and yet Williams frequently re minds people of Lincoln. and it occasions common remark. IL is related that when his brother first read of this he served no- tice like this: Look here. John Sharp, if you are going to run on the Abraham Lin- coin ticket. I want you to understand that you are not going to get my Vote," for to this day Mississippi has more love and rev erenoe for President Davis than for Presi- dent Lincoln as Is abosiutely natural
 It is impossible to listen to John Sharp Williams ten minutes without concluding that he Is a strong man. He dSes not employ lot of words to say nothing. He never engages in debate to show off. He never speaks merely to appear in the Re- cord of that date He appeals to the Judg- ment of the House. and he can, and fre- quently does. appeal to the manhood of the House. It is impossible to think of him other than an honest and an honorable man. He may be wrong, but he is always sincere, and when wronR if wrong he IS. he has a mighty knack of making the wrong look exactly like the right ought to look.
 It is but just to say that Mir. Williams has distinguished himself the leader of the minority. He Is as ready in debate as he is skillful. and the whole Republican side might go to sleep-somethinG 1t has never yet done-without the slightest ap- prehension that an unfair advantage would be taken of 1t so long as John sharp Will Hams is in command.
 If you would the splendid debater he is, read his discussion with Mir. Dalzell on reciprocity with Canada and the balance of trade. Robert J. Walker himself could not have done 1t better From the protec- ton standpoint 1t Is preached that when an American sells to a foreigner he always makes money. but when he buys from for eigner he is absolutely certain to lose mon- ey. One of the Republican statemen eter- nally used the terms. ''our trade with Can ada," and "Canada'H trade with us" What q piece of absurdity williams made of that. As for the balance of trade he discussed it with a iucidity that was simply admirable. Nor did he take the simple elucidation of Bastiat. which the late Frank Hurd gave so Rptly, something after this fashion: A merchant in Maine exports a cargo of slaves worth in Maine S5.0O0. He sends them to Cuba and exchanges them for sugar. Tn Cu- ba the slaves are worth more than the su- gar, but In Maine the sugar is worth more than the slaves. AccordipK to the protection

And, thereby hangs a tale. all too uncom- mon. and a foretaste of Utopia. MT. Williams has younger brother. co-heir with him in the estate they inherited from their par ents The confidence and fellowship be- tween these two are beautiful and ideal. There was never a division of their heritage, never settlement of their accounts. if in- deed, there were such. The property of one was the property of the other. What be- longed to both belonged to each. Not only were their lands and chattels in conn mon, but their bank accounts and private purses were in common. When the elder brother was manager the younger called on him for money supplies when he was in need and always received the full of ais requests, and when the elder entered poll tics and was returned to Congress- the younger took charge of the estate. and for fourteen years has been the purseholder. Both are happily married. and each Is the father of seven children. The relations between them are simply delightful Tt is like the precious ointment upoh the head that ran down upon the beard even Aarons beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments.

study a people. He Is what Bailey is not, q man of rich imagination. and the historic lands on both sides of the Rhine were more to him than the mere story of their history has told. Such man as John Sharp VII Hams could not have fingered in the VI cinity of the classic river without reflectins of the time when Julian in those very pre- eIncts mediated e reform of the bioated and cancerous Roman Empire, and asked him self the question if our republic shall go the way of the Roman commonwealth No doubt it was reflection on ancient and modern story in borderlands of Latin and Teuton that was the germ of that magnificent phil Philippine question in the F1ftyseventh Congress and that was, surpassed by no other speech on that subject in Congress or out of Congress, not even by. the great effort of George F. Hoar in the Senate.
 Upon swilliamss return home he found there was considerable confusion and some embarrassment in the condition of his pat rimoniaI estate. He instantly developed into a business man. and for about eight years his eye was constantly on his planta- tions. Under like conditions many men, reared as he was, would have let things drift hoping for something to turn up. Not so with this young Southerner. He practic- brought business methods to the plantation. Economy and thrift resulted. There was discipline and order everywhere. He bought supplies with judgment and saw to 1t that there was no waste. He made his plantations profitable at time when there was small profit in planting. even under the most favorable conditions. and disaster. was the rule rather than the exception in the Cotton States. After time he lifted the debt from the estate. He was now in Independent circumstances, a leading lawyer, a success fui planter, and prosperous man.

Shakespeare has been translated into
Japanese, and the thespians of the
mikado are making his plays popular.
AS to vaudeville, way back in the
early sixties Ellen Terry made quite a
success in that popular style Of amuse-
ment.
Burr Mcintosh, who left the stage
some time ago for professional life and
the lecture field, is going to return and
star in "Pudd nhead Wilson" and other
plays.
Boston gave the stamp of It's critical
approval to the first performance Of
Richard Carries new play. "The Hurdy-
Gurdy Girl" Both music and lines
are said to be bright
Among the twenty-five attractions
which A. II. Woods will have on the
road next season two are musical. and
the list includes ten new melodramas.
The others are old successes.
