nm coscREssroNAL CAMPAIGN.

The people of the Second District will have no cause to regret the choice of the voters registered Saturday at the polls. This can be said without disparagement to the other gentlemen who were in the race.
 The District may be considered for- tunate in having at hand Captain o. c. Wiley to take up the unfinished work of his brother. the late Congressman A. A. Wiley. and carry 1t to completion in the remaining months of his term. Captain Wiley was closely associated with his brother and was familiar with many of the duties and task. to which the late Congressman devoted himself with such energy. Captain Wiley Is a clean. honorable and intelligent man. one who may well be called repre- sentative Alabamian.
 Hon. S. H. Dent will reflect credit upon the District. With his gifts his eloquence, his ability and his address he will. going to Congress as he does while yet young man. msk. his mark in public life. Time may show and probably 1t will that the voters of the Second District acted more wisely than they knew.
 The courage Mir. Dent displayed in opposing matters which had no part in the campaign and which should never have been injected In 1t Is worthy of the highest commendation. In that dis- play of courage he incurred the active and jealous opposition of some of the prohibition leaders of the state who summoned the prehibitionists of the Second District to defeat MT. Dent.
 If the nomination of Mir. Dent is con- sidered a blow to prohibition these leaders have themselves and no one else to thank for it. He insisted that prohibition was not an issue in the campaign. as the State Legislature had already enacted the law and Congress could neither add to. nor take from 1t. But these leaders who have we'd ded a moral reform to practical poli- tics insisted again and again that 1t was an issue and that Dent should be defeated. If the balance of Alabama shall consider that prohibition has been dealt a heavy blow in the See- ond District. the responsibility does not rest upon Mir. Dent and his sup porters. but upon those who were too eager to keep prohibition in practical politics
 It can not fail to be source of Sra- tiheation to the friends of MT. Dent and to the nominee himself that his boldness and his ability as a fighter turned the tide of battle in his favor when his nomination was extremely doubtful. These are qualities that tell in public life. Equipped as he Is, he will in the American Congress. if he continues to display the qualities which characterized his campaign in the Sec ond District, attain q high standing in the great law making body

IT IS HYPOCRISY.

ouadreniaily about this time of the year our brethren up North of the Republican persuasion become intense ly interested in the welfare of the South and the Southern people. Their solicitude for us and our welfare is touching. even though we know that much of it Is hypocritical l. Is hypo- critical because far the greater por- ton of this solicitude is founded on politics and has no higher motive than vote-getting for their party.
 They tell us with a wealth of Ian- guage and an overplus of composition ate interest in our welfare that we are very much to blame and are standing very much in our own light because We persist in our old habit of voting the Democratic ticket in all national elections. What you need. and what you ought to have" they assure us. "is a strong opposition party-a Re- publican party. in short. to keep you Democrats from all and always voting the same way" And then they go on to give us reasons galore to show how culpable we are because we show no disposition to divide our forces into two great national parties.
 The insincerity of all this is plainly apparent when we note how desirous these same men are that the North

At intervals the newspapers provide some publicity of the benifts of home owning.
 The net advantages to the owner as against the renter comprise or grow out of three items: the greater care the owner takes of hIs own house. for the absence of which on the part of many renters the landlord averages an ex tra rental charge against all renters; being his own permanent and prompt paying tenant as against another charge against all renters for an aver age loss to landlords from vacancy and bad rental debts; and the third is from the steady average advance in values ip all growing communities.

shall remain as solidly Republican as possible. We do not hear them sd- vising Republicans up there to aban- don their party in States like Maine. Vermont and many others we could name. and go over to the Democrats so as to make those States doubtful. or even Democratic at times. What they want is a solid North and split South.
 We have frequently argued that a strong and respectable opposition par ty in Alabama. for example. would be well. It would stimulate interest in politics and tend to ensure fairness in elections. Even if 1t should result sometimes in Democratic defeat at the hands of an intelligent and fair Re- publican party 1t might be for the betterment of politics and be the means of causing Democrats to take more interest in elections and more care in the selection of candidates. In short. an opposition party respectable in numbers and constituents would not be bad thing for Alabama Democracy.
 When we look at the methods em- ployed by the Republicans to build up party here what do we seer The efforts of the leaders, North and South. is almost entirely devoted to the work of holding the negroes together and inducing them to vote the Republican ticket. They advise white Democrats to desert their party and vote the Re- publican ticket but never do they cease preaching to the negro that his allegiance is due to the Republican party and that they must vote solidly for the Republican candidates. That is their idea of building up a strong opposition party in the South and as long as they stick to that there will be no such party here. An opposition party of Federal office holders and ne- groes will make no headway in Ala bama.

GARIBALDPS ROMANCE.
Yelled English Woman Who Entered His
Life in His Later Years.

Achille Fazzari one of the closest
personal friends of Giuseppe Garibaldi,
has revealed in an interview published in
The Tribuna of Rome romance in the
later years of the Italian patriot The
heroine Is a Mrs. Collins, an English
woman, who with her husband lived on
the Island of Caprera, where Garibaldi
made his home for many years.
The couple had hut on the island.
but only tenanted il in the widest
weather. The greater part of their time
was spent atioat in a sailboat on which
they originally reached Caprera.
They lived mainly on the fish they
caught, on goats flesh and on wild birds
that the man shot; but every fortnight
of La Maddalena, where Collins landed,
made necessary purchases and got his
letters.
The woman never left the boat and all
the time that it remained close to the
shore she kept her face and head muf-
fed up in thick veil This was the
cause of endless speculation among the
peasantry.
Mrs. Collins was graceful, with the
step of youth and vigor, and she had
melodious voice. One theory was that
the pair had eloped and she was afraid
of being recognized; but this seemed to
be negatived by the fact that Collins
made no effort to hide his iuentlty.
Finally the story got abroad that she
had been beautiful, but had her beauty
destroyed through burning or scalding,
so that she was now repulsive to look at.
Her husbands affection was undimin-
ished--they seemed to be devoted to each
other-but she could not bear to have
strangers see her. Hence the isolation
in which they lived.
This story held good until Collins died
His wife dug q grave for him with her
own hands in a sheltered valley in
Caprera. She remained ON the island for
some years, but she discarded the veil.
Then she was revealed as beautiful
woman, and it was at once concluded
that unreasoning jealousy on the part of
her husband had driven them to solitude
Now comes Fazzari with the statement
that very shortly after Collins death
Garibaldi made the acquaintance of the
beautiful widow The result was a pas
sionate friendship or platonic love, at
least on the lady's side.
Fazzari says she wrote numerous let
tiers to Garibaldi, beginning in 1860,
when he was in Italy, taking part in
the war of uniication. All are couehed
in terms of devotion.
When asked what the end of the 70.
nance was Fazzan started a new lnys-
terry.
Let it remain a secret" said he, and
no persuasions would induce him to talk
any more.
