I'm our opinion this declaration in
wolves two perils which may Illustrate
the ends of the revolution and i'm
pair our sovereignty. First, the Glen
tificos, with any other group, might
enthrOne themselves with American
assistance. Second. should the peo.
pie not submit to this. the American
government might have recourse to
armed Intervention. In the face of
these two imminent dangers, and
without recognizing the right of the
American government TO intervene in
ou' affairs, we think that we should
seek means that would permit the
reunion and reorganization of the con
stitutionalist party, even though it
be indispensable to make sacrifices of
self esteem. We believe also that
this is what patriotism and the future
welfare of our country requires of us.
In such sense we propose to you
that we take under consideration
President Wilson's note, and that if
you are so disposed, as we ourselves
are. that you advise us, that we may

The ligature binding the celebrated
Gold Dust Twins has been severed. the

interesting announcement "a brought
from New York by quite an impeace-
able authority. It created a decided
breeze upon the politicians here.
Ex-senator Watson is in New York
and Senator Chiffon is in Charleston.
but the distance which now separates
them politically Is far and away
greater than that which at the pres
emit separates them geographically.
That the celebrated partnership Is dis
solved is interesting now because Of
its authentic confirmation. There has
been quiet talk for some months
past that It was going through the pro-
cess OF dissolution. It can be affirmed
now as final upon the best Of AUTHORITY
Mr.. Watson is not for the renomlna-
ton OF Senator Chiffon. The reason
that he gives-and 1t is as good as
any, although he might give hfty.seven
other reasons If he believed them re-

There is one mar of his party whom
he believes has. and he is willing 10
accept him and help him. The person
thus honored is John W. Davis. n
is the first time that Watson has aver
approved-that is, politically-of the
Clarksburger. 1t is significant IN view
OF the very common report in Demo

stands a show to prevent the nomlna

Chiffon and will fight his renomina-

without the saying.

there, no one in Heaven will snitch,

all the parks were too old. and he
roared when a sinner was saved. The

THE ALABAMA's RECORD.

During the civil war the most profit
able game anybody played was that Of
blockade running. 1t was no difficult
to get cotton out Of the south that the
price in Liverpool rose to twenty times
the normal figure. Hence a ship that
carried guns and various munitions to
the south, and then took home a load
Of cotton. killed two prize birds with
one stone.
English shipowners carried on a
great trade. The ship R. E. Lee, built
by the British at a cost Of $4,000.
very soon bore away 100000 in
gold. Another ship made eight trips
from Bermuda to Wilmington, n. c.,
and earned a profit OF 700 per cent
on the cost Of the vessel. A third boat
made twenty-five such journeys and
earned still more. 1t was a hazardous
game, but the stakes were high and
many a bold seaman was willing to en-
gage in 1t.
But while there were actually hun
dreds Of instances OF blockade running
and an average OF n capture for
every four and a half trips made by
the Union navy, the point l wish to
emphasize is this. The United States
navy never killed a blockade runner.
1t captured the ship, but the crew went
free.
The most celebrated corssir OF our
times was the Confederate Alabama.
1t captured about $50 United States
merchant vessels and others and sank
ffty.eight OF them, but daring and bold
as wal Captain Raphael Semmens. her
commander, he never killed a single
person on any prize taken. And only
about one out of every six Union ships
which he took was sent to the bottom
Of the sea. The rest were sent to safe
harbors. That fact lessened enorm-
ously the claims which the United
States made against England for dam
ages done by the Alabama. The bill
paid was for ships sunk. others being
restored to their owners.
But the Alabama was quite as eff.
~fective as II it had murdered thousands
Of innocent non-combatants who were
taken on the enemy's ship. A Liver.
pool newspaper said the Alabama had
been worth an army OF 100000 men to
the confederacy. and that would be
equivalent to 100000 in the present
war.
The Kearsarge's final victory over
the Alabama was SO important that

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
SYMPATHY.

1t comes with a shock to be told
officially by the authorized spokesman
OF the institutions that neither of the
Carnegie Peace Foundations advocates
disarmament or is working toward that
end. 1t seems. after all, that the
modest ambition OF these great founda-
lions is two-fold-a supreme court for
the whole worth which will decide all
disputes and make wal impossible and
a league Of peace to include all ma
lions. No n connected with these
foundations advocates disarmament
and reasonable preparedness is favor
ed. Thus it turns out that all u
sympathy for the institution on &C
count Of its failure to make warfare
questionable has been misplaced. All
the time it has maintained as profound
a v~eneration for armed preparedness
as any mothers son Of US could ask
for.-Washington Herald.
