THE PENSION GRAB

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 Only a miracle will save the democracy from the fatal blunder made on Tuesday when a pension grab was voted for. In the crisis, MT. Underwood, exhibiting that wise statasmanship that has won for him so quickly so splendid a reputation, stood manfully by his guns. He refused to be bulled or to be cajoled. With a clear sense of the proprietes and of the eter- nal fitness of things he refused to be led into an indorsement of a proposal against which in iss essentials the democracy has been solidly errayed ever since it became a national farty. How far this stand on his part wlll go in furtherng the demand for his nomination for the presidency we do not know, but we are convinced that
 in the event Of this grab becoming law no candidate who had part in il will win the favor of the electorate. The next President Of the United states must oe against the ''pork barreI'' and most of all must he be against the granting CT promscuoas pensions to meretricious per sons whose sole object in life is to milk dry the government which they, many of them falsely, boast that they aided to save.

QUEER OLD SNOWMAN
nm the London Chronicle.


 Lord" George Sanger was curious survival in his home at Park Farm, Firchley, just on the outskirts of Lon don To the end he was the circus man. the snowman, and he had collected about him little colony of other showmen and tun blers who had been in his employ. In the farmyard he kept the van, beau- tifully fitted in which he travelled; and in a barn behind there was marked the circus ring that ring which is of the same diameter all the world over. And at the age of 80 Lord" George Sanger would ride around that ring on the old horse-as he rode before Queen Victoria.
 Yon may have noticed that George Sarger had his hat on when he was at tackled, and that he was in his dining room in the evening. It was one of the many peculiarities of the itinerant show man. He lived in his hat-and died In it. When you went to see him he al ways had his hat on And the etiquette of the visitor was to retain the hat upon the head. even in the dining room. You could not offend Sanger but by taking off your hat in a house that he always regarded as a van.
 The snowman of old did not always make a fortune. There was that BanlSes. for instance, a servant to Lord Es- sex, whose horse, Morocco, ascended to the top of Old St. Paul's, to the delight so Dekker assures us, of number of asses which prayed below. This geld ing appears to have been a, sort or cal culating horse. and his master. after a successful London season, proceeded on continental tour. To Paris first. then on to Rome. Sir Walter Raleigh in his history Ben Jonson in his epigrams and Shakespeare in Loves Labours Lost, all have references to "the dancing hoise," but the animals cleverness proved his owners undoing, for both horse and man suffered death by burning for witch craft

ADVICE TO WRITERS

In an interesting article, William Makepiece Thackeray and His Friends, in The Munsey for December, Frances NJ Brookfield writes:
 "Thackeray's generosity took many a form He would refuse nothing that good nature could give. Cheerily would he read a manuscript immediately on its coming, and sit up the same night to comment thereon. that the would be author might not be kept in suspense. Once his reply ran thus:
 "'I attacked your manuscript like man, and with a busting heart tell you my conviction that it won't do. The only magazine I know is Fraser's; and l am sure that you must put more spice into your dish, and write a good, stiff inter- esting story; and, what's more. write on one side of the paper, if you want 10 succeed at our business. The way you've written this is the deuce: you'll get no magazine editor in the kingdom to read backwards and forwards as you have written Look how plain this here manu- script is wrote; d--d plain, you would say, if you We're not a clergyman. You must make your stories shorter and stronger, my boy, and don't take it ill that l tell you my mind honestly

A Christmas Dinner Dish

Tn my home, for many years prior to the breaking up which sooner or later comes with the mandate of old Father Time we always had an oyster escailop in the shell,' said lover of the good things of life.
 q also claim to have discovered or to have originated this delightful way Of serving a first course of oysters; in fact, they are good at any stage of the eating fuaction. The way to get the best results is to select large, deep oyster shells, let them be fresh,. and have two for each plate. Take the small oysters and pro ceed te escallop them with broken crack ers a small piece of butter and table spoonful of real cream in the make up Over the top there should be a complete covering of powdered crackers. Place in the stove or oven and cook until Drowned By this process much of the rich oyster flavor in the shell will permeate the mass. If wine is served a saturn goes well, but many persons prefer claret.
 And by the way very many persons do net know that the wine par excellence for game is a sparkling, if one likes the champagne 'nip;' and Cham bcrtin a rare vintage, is the glass for princes among bon vivants.'

CHUzzLEWITs EDEN

From the Macon (Mo.) Republican.
 After columns upon columns have been written to show that Macon City, in Ma con county, was the Eden of Martin Chuzzlewit,' where everybody had the chills and fever, Charles Dickens son, who was in Macon recently, went down to Cairo, H.. as the place where all this happened It's a wonder the Hannibal Commercial club, usually so wideawake about things generally, didn't take the precaution to have it's Eden, so close to Hannibal duly protected as the only original townsite of Martin Chuzzlewit. Then Alfred Tennyson Dickens would have gone to Hannibal. where all the big doings would have been held. instead of at Cairo.
 The truth is, quite fl number Of places on the western rivers have been sug gested as the possible sinister site where Martin Chuzzlewit had such Il hard time. and one place iS just as likely 10 be 'it' as another. Certain it is that Charles Dickens was not trying to boom the lo- cality. wherever it was

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Among the Republicans

T believe President Taft will be re- nominated next year, but l find many republicans in the naSth who are talk ing strongly in favor G the nomination -of Roosevelt,' said Joseph Whittet of Chicago. "Mr. Roosevelt has wonder ful personality and must be reekoned with. He has said that he would not be a candidate, and some republicans think that he would decline the nomi- nation. even if it were handed to him on a silver waiter. II looks to me. how ever as if the ex-President is flirting with the party. ] can hardly think he expects the nomination, although he prob- ably has a lurking hope that it will come to him.
 "lt is something like an unwrtten law that a President shall be eomplimented with a second nomination. It would be an awful humiliation to Mr. Taft were the republicans to make an exception in his case and choose some other stand ard bearer. As to whether MT. Taft can be elected is another question. Unless the democrats keep together better than they have been doing since 1892 I think Taft or any other good republican will win the race. But there is no question about the fact that the democrats are more hopeful now than they have been for long time. I find it so in the mid dle west and in the east, where I spend a good deal of my time"

From the Washington Post.
 The substantial and wonderful growth of the south is reflected convincingly in 1050 page volume which has just been issued by the Southern Commercial Con gress under the title of ''The South's Physical Recovery" The book is neither an essay nor an argument. It contains the proceedings of the Southern Com mercial Congress at the third annual convention, held in Atlanta, Ga. last March.
 While the book is full of interest in itself. it's chief significance is in the fact that it furnishes eloquent evidence that the whole south is working whole heartedly to direct attention to the vast resources of that section of the country. The Southern Commercial Congress has done much to wipe out the old political line that divided the south from the north by offering something better. It has replaced the political line with a commercial line. giving the south a good toward which it may work with advant- age to itself and the whole country.
 The new commercial line does not di- Vide the nOftn rom the SOulH, put merely marks the boundary of a great field of commercial opportunity for persons from the north, east and west, as well as those

The Music Festival

"The next music festival will probably take place on the 1st and 2d of May said a member of the festival commit tee President J. II. Holcombe has called meeting of the committee for Mon day at noon, and 1t is hoped that a full attendance will be on hand. The Minne- apolis Symphony is I understand, the only available orchestra.

 "The manager of the Theodore Thomas orchestra of Chicago announced last spring that he wou1 arrange southern tour for the spring of 1912, but later he found that it would be impossible to come south before 1913.

years very plainly did not include Alabama coal, and yet Alabama coal stands ignored, if not condemned, by experiments that did not include it.
 The question is, shall this one sided investigation be accepted by Congress as conclusive? Shall all coals in this broad country stand con demned in order to boom the mines of the shrewd and long headed boos- ters of West Virginia mines?
 Colonel Goethals is committed to eoals that must be trundled 800 miles by rail to some port on the Chesapeake bay and then carried a long journey to the, canal. These coals cannot be low priced, trans ported as they will be thousands of miles. The Alabama coals can be water borne and the entire distance is one-half less.
 The Alabama coals are as tropical and as good steam makers as West Virginia coals, but thus far they have secured no friend at court-no power ful friend on the canal zone at any rate.
 Shall Alabama step aside to let Colonel Goethals monopolize the coal trade of the greatest coal market in sight? Shall West Virginia be per mitted to drive all other American coals out of Panama?

Spain's Riphts in Morocco

France is left to govern Morocco without interference from the other powers. But Spain has valid claims there, and France has by treaty ac- knowledged those rights. Spain now occupies several ports in northwest Morocco, and an interesting question arises as to what France will do to square matters with Spain
 Spain declines to consider what France paid for a free hand in Mo- rocco. It stands upon it's treaty rights, and it does not propose to recall its garrisons from the places it occupies in Morocco. She expects France, on the other hand, to fulfill her treaty obligations.
 So undoubtedly France will, and negotiations are believed to be going on looking to a transfer of Spanish rights in Morocco. Whether Spain will get money or territory in return is probably not determined. France is anxious to -ouDd out her African empire, which is but T days sail oi two from the mother country. The matter will be squared amicably Spain will receive an equivalent if sht hands over her interests in Morocco to France,

covrnNon o,NEAI.,s LETTER
-om the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
 MT. w. P. c. Harding of Birmingham rendered a distinct public service when
 he made public the letter written him by
 Gocernor O'Neal when candidate, and about which unjust rumors and intimation
 have centered. The letter will be heartily applauded by the right thinking people of Alabama. It contains nothing new. The letter is exactly what Governor O'Neal declared on every stump In Ala bama when candidate It followed the line of every argument on that question advanced hy Governor ONeal to the peo- pie. in his campaign, and his course in office has been in harmony and eonsis- tency with his public utterances and with the letter he wrote MT. Harding.
 The position assumed by Governor O Neal when he wrote Mir. Harding on January 9, 1910. became the declared policy of the democratic party of Ala bama on May r of that year, when the convention assembled. A democratic con- vention enthusiastically indorsed the views of Governor O'Neal as expressed in the letter, and the plank of the pres ent state democratic platform. dealing  business men and investors, is but an ann plincation of the views declared by Gov ernor O'Neal in the letter.
 When the legislature assembled in Jan uary of 1911, one of the first official acts was the adoption of resolution, offered by Senator Thurston H. Allen, by an over wholming vote, which declared that the legislatures attitude toward the business interests would be the same as that out lined in the letter of Governor O'Neal
 The letter should be widely read. It is a splendid presentation of the correct at titude a state administration should as- sume toward business, and platform in itself for the states regulation and su- pervision of business. Not only can every business man of the state heartily indorse the letter, but it should appeal also to the worlxingman, for it promises an orderly and just governmental policy to- ward business enterprise, which will not result in cutting wages or laying off men by large employers of labor.
