Alabama Politics ChsaD.

Alabama is represented in the upper
house Of congress by two of the old
est members of that body. Senator
Morgan is 50, Senator Pettus s., but
both are still wide-awake and active
men
Not long ago Mr.. Morgan was
chosen by the Democratic primary con-
ventions of his state to the senate for
another term. In compliance with the
law the senator made an affidavit, de
claring that this reelection had cost
him only $50, which sum he had paid
to the Democratic state committee.
When asked if that was the regular
expense of an election az senator from
Alabama, Mr.. Morgan replied: Not
always so cheap. My colleague Pet
tus's election cost him $40. The old
fox. | wish it had cost him $780,
This is almost convincing evidence
that Alabama is just the state for the
poor man who has a taste for politics.

4 CUSTOM Of the Yuma Indians.

Burning the dead, as observed among
the Yumas, is interesting The body is
first thoroughly wrapped and then
placed on logs and brush over a hole IN
the ground. A bed Of logs is built up
at each side and at the head of the
bier, which is next covered over and
strewn about with dry fagots. The
flames are applied, and while they
burn the clothing. blankets. etc, of the
deceased are added TO the fire. The
horse of the dead man, however is not
burned among the Yumas, as IS the
custom with some Indians. A day or
two after death the wigwam Of the de-
ceased. if an adult, is burned, the rest
of the family then going to live with
some relative. The Yumas make a
great show of sorrow over their dead

Americans odd Craze.

Some Americans have an odd craze
for believing that the rightful heirs of
British peerages are Americans kept
out of their own" One of these queer
people asks me whether Jemima the
heiress of the Macdougal line of Earls
of TobermOry, was not really a daugh-
Ter Of Queen Mary? Was not James
VI son Of fat old Lady Reres, not
of Queen Mary? The present Duke of
Tobermory is descended from the fifth
son of the earl of 1715. But what be
came of the fourth son? The peerages
say that he died young without off
spring But did he not escape to
America" and is he not the Thomas
Robertson who married fair col0nist
in 1870, and is not a certain Robert
Thompson the son of this Thomas Rob
ertson, and are not his descendants
earls Of TobermOry and kings Of Scot
land? VIII / not get at the family pa
pers, now kept in MelrOse abbey, end
clear the matter up? The names I here
alter but all this tissue Of nonsense is
solemnly laid before my reluctant eyes
in the hope that some possible J. p.
Robertson is Duke of Tobermory.-

Makes Fun for Neichbors.

Virgil P. Kline, lawyer Of Cleveland,
in an address upon Ambition said:
Ambition is an excellent thing.
Without it the world would not
progress. But there are worthy and
unworthy ambitions, silly and wise
ones.
'Then there are the peculiar, the dis
tinctive ambitions, such as we see in
childhood.
'Thus I once knew a little boy who
had an ambition to be a letter carrier,
and, finding in a cedar chest in the
attic a great bundle of love letters that
his mother had been preserving since
the days of her courtship. he packed
them in a leather school satchel and
distributed them from house TO house

As he bent his face to meet hers she

The fiurries in the wheat pits In Chicago

dications that a bad cereal season IL in

hension lest the backward season may have

hveries. But at this stage 1t IL all q great
gamble. No good can come from 1t, for It

refer to Sewell. who ran with Bryan the
first time. and Henry Gassaway Davis. who
ran with Parker. Mr.. Bryan Is a clean and
able man, and has the confidence Of the
people, although / do not sympathize with
his theory of government ownership"
Let's examine this Mr.. sewen was nomi-
mated to nentralize Mr.. Bryan's silver views
in the east He talked pleasantly about sill
yer, but as he was a. successful business
man and lived In Maine, it was a safe as
sumption that he was not in favor of q
f1fty-cent dollar. Mr. Davis was nominated
with Judge Parker to neutralize the 1atter'S
low tariff views. The West Virginian being
a protectionist, it was thought best to ap-
peal through him to that wing of the party
which had supported Mr.. German In his
treatment Of the Wilson tariff bill. Neither
the Sewell nor the Davis play succeeded,
but both plays were good politics. And one
of the reasons why these southern men are
mentioned in connection with Mr.. Bryan
for next year is that they differ with him
on the question of government railroads,
which issue is unpopular in the east.
This is in Mr. Tillmans manner. but In
the circumstances cannot be commended:
81 can see no man In the ranks of north
possibility. The trouble with most northern
democrats is that they have become ward
heelers.'
Shall We not except from this scathing
characterization Alton B. Parker, Georges
B. Mcclellan, William Sulzer, George Fred
Williams, w. L. Douglas H. NJ. Whitney
and B. B. Smalley? And there are others.
OF course, there are ward heelers. But why
denounce them on. the eve Of a presidential
campaign? The vote and activity of every
one of them will be necessary next year If
Bryan and Tillman are to win at the polls.

The Young Spaniard.

It Is long name. but the little Spanish
prince, young as he is, should be able to
carry It, No youngster ever started life
with more good wishes. His arrival has
given universal pleasure. II the world felt
at liberty to exercise its feelings, the royal
palace at Madrid would be packed to the
roof in short time with toys, and few
Teddy bears would undoubtedly be found in
the mammoth collection. 1t is good thing
that the little fellow decided to be boy.
His sex strengthens his fathers hold on
affairs. and increases his mothers popu-
larity with the Spanish people. This view
of things seems little ungallant, but in the
matter of government-on large scale-the
male biped has the call. Spain continues
jubilant. and has every reason for her
ecstacy.

Brownsville,

The resumption of the Brownsville in
yestigation starts number of rumors, all
more or less interesting if true. Each side,
1t Is reported has a surprise in store for
the other. Mr.. Foraker will fix the guilt
definitely, and the discharged troops will be
completely exonerated. The President S
champions will fix the guilt definitely and
fix II on the colored men. And so on. Let
US wait The story will soon be told. All
We know now Is that when the investigators
took a recess last month the developments
were in favor Of the troops. Many wit
nesses have yet to be examined and there
are many possibilities in the case The
yarn that Mr.. Foraker has been "intimi-
dated" by the action of his enemies in Ohio,
and will not put much steam" in his
future work, is on a level with those recon-
mended for marines
