 The Phisdeiphia Record calls the new State Capitol of Pennsylvania .@The Palace of Graft" and enough has leaked out to make the title thorough ly applicable. It is generally known that the building cost three or four times what it was intended to cost when the appropriations were made, and some details gathered by The Record may be of interest. It says:
 The further the tprobe goes into the Capitol scandal the worse the disclos- ures are. Yesterdays evidence devel- oped the fact that Sanderson sublet a lot of the work to Payne and Com pany, and they sublet It to Wilt and cerns between the firm that did the work and the State that paid for it. Of course. tbe profits were piled Up enor- fop Mo w anS fon op wchp pas sss paid Sanderson and Company s90,74s. This is very much the widest margin of rake-offs that has yet been dis closed, The architect. of course, knew not tell whether the job was worth s2,000 or $9O,000 he was hope1essly in- competent. If he knew that it was a s2,0Q0 job that Sanderson was paid %So,V0V Aohf thcn HS W@s SoinoshAh5
 An unsuccessful bidder on painting testified that he offered to do the work for eighty-two and a half per. cent. derson offered to do 1t for only sixteen per cent. less and got the contract. The difference was over $1O0,0o0. If any painter could do the work for seventeen S and and ssa hslf rs Dsr cent tanS Sf tee Gibson insists that he would have made profit had he got the job), then the maximum price. of course. was several times too high: Who named the maximum price? Why Ar chitect Huston. The object of requir- ing maximum to be named is to pro- tect tho State from excessive bids by coIlusion or otherwise But maximum price that is more than five times what the work is worth is evidently no protection, If seventeen and q half per cent. of the maximum would have yielded a profit. what did Sam derson's eighty-four per cent, yield?
 Now, although it might be looked on as partisanship to speak of such dis honesty as the result of Republican rule, in this instance 1t would be en- tirely fair. The party in power, man. aged by Pennypacker, Penrose, Dur ham and their colleagues and CO., partners in the pleasant and profita- ble game of graft had full and abso- Iute control of this building job. They are responsible for the discredit- able stealage of millions of dollars and their party is responsible for them. No ingenuity of explanation can change the hard fact that six or eight millions of dollars were bra zenly stolen by methods such as those set forth in the extract we have auo- ted. The charges are circumstantial. the figures of record and the proof unassailable. The gang may as we'll own up, even if they cannot be made to pay up.

aurT1Na TNTERrsTTNa

The trouble in Central America seem really to be assuming a serious aspect. So many Of the so-called revolutions and wars in Central and South America are of not much more importance than a Spanish buIl-hght that little attention Is usually given them, but this begins to look as if there may be some substance to it. Honduras and Nicaragua have been carrying on q scrap for" quite while. and now the little kingdom of Salva- der has butted in and taken sides with Honduras. It is something like a small terrier pitching into a quarrel between two large bulldogs, and though Salvador is a small nation it doesn't seem exactly fair for two of them to jump on one. What the outcome will be may not be easily pre- dietsd. If the combatants could be left entirely alone no doubt they would soon get tired and quit their fooling. but they may keep it up tiii they draw other powers into the difficulty and thus cause real trou- bie,
 By the way. we wonder that the President has not been alreay shak- ing his big stick at these naughty children He has such a confirmed habit of putting in when other coun- tries are engaged in a scrap that one would think this e good time for him to show his teeth and his club and tell these alleged republics to be good or be spanked. Perhaps the best thing to do is to let them have it out in their own way and time. A little blood-letting Is often beneficial to the hot Spanish and mixed blood of those countries, and if they are not rnolested they may be able to settle their difficulties or eat each other up. We don't know that 1t matters much which is done.

easily traceable to the lack of labor. As 1t is now the planter Is often put to his wits end for labor to gather the crop. Ills difficulty grows more acute is being made to relieve it. The south ern spinners are close enough 10 tne source of production to foresee the in- evitable result and are adyocating I'm. migration as a remedy. They should not be alone in this, for the planter Is as directly interested; and all things considered, more deeply con- & should awaken to the fact, while yet there is time, that some speedy pro- vision for the negro's place in the have Idle lands and no cotton to mar ket in the fall. Our Legislature pass ed an immigration bill at It's last ses- sion, and the Governor promptly sign rection. A beginning of the solution; a remedy for an impending cotton col lapse. Those watching this immlg gra- tion department are hopeful or great though its operations will bo neces- sarily restricted and hampered by lack of sufficient means to property fill its purpose. still' If It put dem0n deSgas from the present depressed conditions, 1t will be an easy matter to enlarge its powers. scope and means, to point where we may be able to see 
 darkness. South Carolina has awak- ened to the fact that the only reme- dy Is immigration, and she has taken steps accordingly. Louisiana has read the Handwriting on the wall which threatens to make idle her rich cotton and rice lands, and she has passed wise laws and established com missions, to aid and encourage immi- grafton. Alabama has taken step, only, in comparison with these two States, but 1t is a step in the right direction and shows that we are be- ginning to realize that something must be done, or our cotton lands will be idle. It proves nothing to say the negro Is the best cotton laborer to be had anywhere. II he wlll not work at the trade what bene1t to 1t is his efficiency. He may be the best, or the worst, we do not know, for we has has' come u when we have got to try some other or quit cotton growth {. The threatened invasion of tue boll- weevil offers no such menace to cot ton growing as the increasing deser- ton of the plantation by the negro. It is folly to attempt to persuade him to stay; it is criminal to forcibly detan him: and the only wise thing to do is to meet the condition he forcng upon us by nroviding substitute.

limited one that sets itself to read the poetry of the time as a literary duty. Never popular in the common sense, many of his poems are nevertheless cherished in memory or as newspaper clippings preserved carefully by men and women who have been attracted by the thought or the musical cadence of the lines. and who may not even associate the verses with the auth OTIS name. It Is not always literary folk who appreciate most keenly the verse that touches the heart or charms the ear. The others may not know that it is written in classic form or that its art is perfect, but they re- spond to it's spirit"
 It would take up too much space to give a list of the works of Aldrich. nor is 1t necessary. Tn poetry, prose and drama he stands deservedly high, but, as The Brooklyn Eagle says. his permanent reputation will rest upon his poetry. Even his warmest ad- mirers did not claim greatness for him, but the severest critics could not question the perfect artistry of every thing that he did. One of his qua trains is like Giotto's circle; it needs no signature. The same artistry marked his prose. A1drich had a considerable and deserved vogue as a writer of short stories. They were clever and amusing short stories, with surprise springing at the reader from the last paragraph. But to be clever and amusing and popular was not enough for Aldrich. All of these little tales were as. perfectly finished as his briefest poems. The right word is always in the right place, and he stopped when he got through. The characteristic note of both his prose and his verse is distinction. Distinc- tion is the last and rarcst qualty. in any art. The artist who insists upon preserving it does an incalculable ser- vice. Never was that service more needed in literature than in these Uni ted States at this very time. The distinction of Aldrich's style will pre- serve his work and it will have a meaning for coming generations, even if that lesson is obscured by the smoke of the fierce advertising battle which now envelops our publishing houses.

What is Justice.
Birmingham Ledger.

Birmingham Ledger.
 In Lauderdale County few days ago a little girl was indicted by the grand jury and is now in jail because she threw a rock at boy and the stone killed him.
 A little girl is in jail in Etowah County because she killed man who was trying to force his way into the house where she and her mother were. It was proven that the man was drunk, but a frightened girl could not know that, and was surely justified in shoot ing if she did know It.. No animal is more dangerous to a girl than drunk
 The Ledger knows only the facts as published, but 1t does protest that such killings should not be treated as mur- ders. This is particularly so when the slayers are little girls. Girls are not murderous. They are not dangerous to the community. If one should kill d person it is to all intent an accident, even though anger plays a part and brain storms" reign for the moment.
 The sooner we separate such cases from the brutal and intentional killing by men. the better. No jury will con vict those girls of murder. Our juries do not convict men of murder Why, then, throw these little girls into vile jails? They will not run away. To them a Jail term. is horrible. TO right thinking people it is horrible that these children should be held without bail,

 Golfers Weekly says the reason the Georgia and Alabama gold mines are not creating excitement is because they have not been advertised as much as the Western mines; This is true' and yet the Western mines that have been advertised the most are the ones in which the least metal has been found.

When we looed over Thursdays copy of The Columbus Ledger we wondered if there had been a cyclone or an earthquake in the good old city. The paper looked as if 1t might have been printed on a dray or run through a gravel roller but Fridays issue was all right and carried this explanations
