D. Carter at the plano as accornpanist
 Ttis was followed by the reading by Mrs. J. l.. Cobbs of a poem The Flag of Our Country" written by Miss Meta Jones of Mobile. The poem is full of devotion to the flag and in every line breathed a spirit of loyalty and pride of country. Mrs. Cobbs' reading of 1t enhanced the beauty of the work of the writer.
 Next on the program was salute to the flags of the United States and of Alabama. In this again, all were re- quested to join. and while two young ladies, Misses Annie Tyson and Julia Brock held up first one then the other of the flags in which all felt the pride of ownership. the following salute was repeated:

A curious circumstance about 1.-The weakness
of Mr. Hughes is that those who are most
convinced of it are unanimously of the opinion
that no one will do as candidate in his place
except man who is nearly as possible ike
him. The first consideration with every SUD
stitute suggested, emitting one or two men
who have merely local strength, is that he is
friend of the Governor, an adInirer or his
policies. one of his supporters in the Senate, an
appointee of his. the president of the college
where he used 10 teach, or a citizen from the
higher walks of private life who might be eX-
pected TO uphold the ideals of public service
which Mr.. Hughes has maintained and to give
the state the same quality of administration
which he has given No one seriously sug-
gests overcoming the weaknesses OF the GOV
ernOr" by choosing his antitype for his sue
cessor; yet it would seem 10 be the natural
policy TO repair the breaches in the Republican
party which the present administration has
made by Offering some prospect to the voters
Of one which would be in every way It's con-
trast What assurance would those who have
been aIienated by the Governor have that one
of these near-Hugheses whose availa bility Is
being canvassed would not turn out to be quite
as marrow and impractical" as the man from
whom escape is sought? In jumping from the
frying pan why take such precautions TO lana
in a skillet? Why not nominate a "broad
man. who would enable the state TO forget
the nightmare of the last two years: Why
is a near -Hughes-none near enough has yet
been dfscovered-essential TO save the party
from the weakness of Hughes:
Nor does the demand for near Hughes pro-
ceed from one side alone. Democratic leaders
corroborate the wisdom of Republican leaders
hy deciding that the public also wants Demo
cratic near Hughes. AS the party of the op-
nosition they have a splendid opportunity 10

THE END OF PANAMA."

A dispatch from Paris announces that the
Civil Tribunal of the Seine has authorized
final payment Of per cent to the stockholders of
the original Panama Canal Company-the Uni
versal Interoceanic Canal COmpany-and has
discharged from further service the receivers
of that unfortunate concern. Thus is completed
the epilogue to a story which must be cassed
with, though it outTanks those of the Dutch
tulip mania the South Sea Bubble and the Mis-
sissippi scheme 1t is the story of an enterprise
which began with unsurpassed splendor and
collapsed in utter gloom; of an enterprise, more
over, which was conceived in entirely good
faith. and yet which proved more disastrous to
its participants than most of those which have
been swindles from the beginning. 1t is story
of the most brilliant expectations ending in
the most disastrous disappointment: of the
blasting of great regulations and of the ruin Of
countless lives in an undertaking which was in
plan and purport as fundamentally and unim-
peachably sound as in mana cement and execu-
ton it was irredeemably lotten.

carry great many states in which the farme~
vote nredominates states which have in recent
years been pretty strongly Republican. Dur
ing the years just following the hard times or
1898 many of these voters tore themselves loose
from their moorings and wandered away
after Populistic idols, but it didn't take them
long to discover sufficient reasons for returning
to their old allegiance and they have been very
chary since about forsakng the pleasant ways
which they know for the uncertainties of the
unknown
The farmers of the great Middle West seem
TO be so prosperous now that Mr. Bryan and
his assistant managers are finding that the
seeds of discomfort with the present admins
tration sowed among them take little root. so
far all plans of the Democratic candidate for
helping the farmers TO put money in the bank
have failed to arouse a satisfactory degree Of
interest among those he would help, because
they sre so busiIy engaged along those lines
now that they haven't time to stop and study
his theories As a result of recent conferences,
if reports be true, it has, therefore, been de-
cided that the wsest appeal TO the farmer will
be through promise to help him keep the
wealth he has acquired during the fat Repub-
lcan years. rather than through an appeal to
him to vote the Democratic ticket as means
of throwing off the heavy hand of injustice
which has been hampering his progress.
The general prosperity Of the people of the
agricultural states will be one of the strongest
assets of the Republican party this fall, and
when the farmer thinks it over, as he will have
plenty of time to do before Election Day. it Ia
hardly probable that he will consider it neces-
sary to look to n Democratic administration for
protection of the wealth he has acquired under
a Republican administration. However much
the people may sympathize with Mr. Bryan in
his search for an issue, they will hardly be at
tracted by such transparent one as that just
suggested. There is nothing in the condition
of the farmer at this time 10 warrant the belief
that he has any particular anxiety to find rea-
sons for voting for the Perpetual Candidate.
