-T7. THI FOREST REPUBLICAN. 4. C. WINK, Coitoh a PftoraiEToa. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1902 JANUARY 1902 Su.'Mo.:Tu. We. Th.iFr.lSa. 1 21 "9 5 12 19 26 6 13 20 7 8 15 22 io;n 17'l8 24:25 14 16 23 30 21 27 28 29 31 Ta a trsde reviews continue to report great and general prosperity. The story sounds familiar, lint the monotony is of the kind that everybody can cheerful y endure. Br way ofauggeaiion we would again like to remark that a hospital for the crippled of the Carnegie works would be a finer chailty than a library that no one reads. All ol which we sub mit to the Honorable Andrew without apology or defense. Pnila. Inqu'rer. Having: predicted that the prices of farm produce would go down to almost nothing if silver was not restored to free coinage, Mr. Rrysn might try to get even by telling consumers that it Is. the gold standsr I that compels them to pay the present high prices for produce. Ore of the Ave great military camps to be located aud maintained by the general government is likely to be placed In this Bute. General 1! rooks bss viewed severs! locations oft-red for the purpose. Up ward of 10.000 acres of .and will be re quired for military maneuvers and artil lery practice, with facilities for the con structions of reservoir for a water supply for 60,000 soldiers. Lrr us bold to the good old priuciple which has brought us prosperity as well as honor, that tbe first consideration is the dignity, the woll being and tbe pro tection of A merican labor. These demand tbe encouragement by all legitimate means ol the beet sugar industry in this oountry; and they demand still more emphatically the repulse of continual as ssults upon it, directly and indirectly, by the sugar trust and those to whom its In terests are paramount. AnnPDtothe tl5,0o0,XO paid Fr nee for Louisiana, there were over $12,000,000 in iuteiest and allowed claims. Then reckoning the oost of the Indian wars, because of that purchase, at merely f,00, 000,000. and we have a grasd total ol 1527,000,000. What a consummate block head anti-Philippine purchasers must rate Thomas Jefferson. How can Ibnae antis even consent to reside lonuer in the land of the great original annexationist? But, worst of all, Thomas J. governed the purchased territory without tbe con sent of tbe governed. What an outrage! Our of Pennsylvania's popular sou-, Hon. Isaac B. Brown, of Corry, bas for mally announced bia candidacy for Ibe Republican nomination lor Secretary ol internal affairs. Major Brown as Deputy SecreUiyof tbe department for many years has had a wonderful schooling in tbe important duties of the office, and is thus eminently fitted for tbe place. Tbe party conld go very much farther aud fare very much worse in its bunt for an available and popular candidal?, and it is our opinion that the Manr'a candidacy will be very cordially received by tbe people of the State, who honor and re spect him very highly. First cousins may not enter iuto a le gal man iage contract in Pennsylvania. The new law providing against marriage within thia dogree of oonaanguinity went into effect on Wednesday of last week This, however, will by no means preveut cousinslrom marrying, if they so dispose, By having the ceremony performed in a Slate where no such legal oi-jections ex ' 1st, the marriage will be valid. It la pro vided by the United Stales Constitution that no State aball enact laws which will abrogate the laws ot another Stale. Thus the pro v Won can apply onlj tnmarriagoa which my e celebrated in Pennsylvania not to citizena of th State who marry under other jurisdictions. Thb President-elect, T. Estradt Palms, of the new Cuban Republic, was a school teacher in Orange county, N. Y., lor many years. lie reared a family there and owns a small farm, whicb he leaves. it is said with regret, in response to the call of bia countrymen. Pal ma bas been a close student of tbe American institu lions, and in tbe opinion of the Rochester Democrat and Chronic le, do bettor man could be selected for the place. It says of him : "He knows the American people and the people of Cuba. No other Cuban appreciates more fully the disinterested action of the United States d freeing and guarding the island until a stable govern nient could be established." He bad grown gray In tbe service, and when be uttered these words be was giv ing expression to a conviction that come to all who remain In the newspaper busi ness: "In contemplating my lirst paper I firmly resolved to reform the whole world. At tbe end of one month thought the State was large enough for my first field ; at the end of the second I coucluded to fix tbe county as I wanted it, and at the end of the th rd month I de cided that I would first reform tbe town, Since that lime I have learned that If J wanted to reform myself I would have a pretty large job of it." Commenting on the above, tho editor of the Greenlnld, (Ind.) Globe says: "Yes, there are ed itors and editors. Thero is tho callow youth young in years and in newspsper exp'-rieuce who, just entering that field imagines himself a1 ittle tin god' whom it should be a pleasure and duty to follow and obey. He rants against existing conditions; condemns bis brother com petitor, findi fault with all who do not believe bis assertions, and in other ways conducts himself in a manner to make the old-iime newspsper man very, verj tired. Yes, thcro are editors and editors." Alabama. F. F. Whittckin, won la traveling ex tensively ir tint South on bnsiiirer, writes bis wile frin Tuscaloosa, Alaliaina, un der dale of Deo. &, from which we are permitted to copy the followiug: For Christmas dinner we had boiled turuip tops, cold sweet potatoes "corn dodgers" aud weak black coffee. Sup per, I have just eaten, also no good, but better than dinner, Tuee wondorful southern cocks, as the darkiea say are "powerfully no good, shush." I Lave not bad a square meal since I ate my breakfast in W. L.1N, Diuning car at Birmington, Alabama. It is warm and nice here now, and very comfortable horseback riding. Tusca loosa is a town of about SH0 inhabitants moated in the extreme southern edge of the great Black Warrior Coalrield.extend ing northeastwardly clear up Into Clarion Co., Penn. It is aituated on the east bank of tbe Black Warrior River, about 30 miles above its confluence with tbe Tumbigby, and la navigable for small steamers this far for most of tbe year. There are two railroads here, the Ala bama Gr-at Southern, and the Mobile and Ohio, both operated by the Southern R. R. Co. tinder leae. The main street in Tuscaloosa is fully li'.rtwide; possibly 150ft. wide, and ia flanked by two rowa of water oaks, with a third row up tbe center of the street. It is a very pretty street, but lacka pav ing and aide walks. There are no side walks except tbe natural ground and some flue gravel strewn over it. There are a few modern buildings and residen ces, hut most of Ibe large dwellings are of the old colonial style of ante bellum days, whose present occupants are too poor to maintain the style kept upduring slavery times, aud one sees on every hand evi dences of decay and degeneration caused by the white people depending on the thrifty negroes to conduct the nicl of the business and labor of the country. These people have not yet recovered from tbe curse of slavery, from which they were only too reluctantly relie'ed by reason of the civil war, and whicb curse tbey freelv admit was blessing when its removal came; yet the system was so thoroughly rooted in their sorial and business affairs that the whites were in capable of taking up tbe "burden" of ca. ing for themselves when tbe change came, and still depeud, like little child ren, npon tbe negros to attend to their wants and do their work for thein. Thus we see that nearly tne whole labor of tbe South Is the unelucaled, untrained, thriftless, delatory nrgro Inbor, while tlm keener intellects of the educated whit, s, do not labor at all, or If in part It is only to direct and not to pei lorni ; hence It is easy to see why the North, with its keen, bright, energetic labor, which is not only directing but doing, is fast nuUtriping the slave cursed, depend ant South, wbose intelligence, as a rule. is non productive, and whose labor is uneducated and untrained. At Birmingham there ia to be seen the most rspid developement to be found iu sny ol the southern Stntps, put why T It is ettsliy answered. Northern capital and Northern energy, which bas entered here are developing the natural resources of the country. Birmingham is the "Pitts burg of the South," and comes vey nearly being its "Sin- ky City." The tonnaue of Birmingham is larger, I am told flian any other city, south of Balti more; however, wiib Atlanta and New Orleans close revivals. There Is an Indifferant public school system here, which I am informed is at tended exclusively by negroes, the whiles being educated in private schools, acade mies, boarding schools, snd in ibe great colleges of the northern Slates. Tbe resources of this section are very great Indeed. Coal, iron, limestone. lumber, plaster, natural cement and phosphates are a few of tbe easily ex ploited resources. Aluminum clay is abundsnt but worthless where it is. Tbe coal fisld bas not yet bad the top scale scraped off it; Iron bas just been "fnnnd";-limestone and cement are be ing "prospected;" timber is being "oper ated" in an indifferent manner. Agri culture is about aa backward as It is in Colombia, South America, and while there are thousands of acres of land cap able of producing over ono hale ot cotton per acre, as It is now managed and tilled the average is about one-half, or perhaps better, one-third of a bale per acre. But little corn Is raised, no fruit, no other cereal except a very little oats, no bay or other fodder plants or grasses; only cot tonlcotion! till tbe country is cotton poor. Crops are never rotated and cotton ia planted on the same ground year after year for the past century has so impover isbed tbe soul, (because it is not prop rly tilled or taken care of) that it bas become too poor and thin to sod 1 self over, and being washed away with every rain and carried down the river to be de posted in tbe Oulf of Mexico, so that when every thing here is exhausted na ture may sink this section benesth tbe wavesand raise tbe continent slowly being formed beneath the shallow waters of tbe Gulf, bringing up a new and virgin soil, enriched by the deposits carried from this vast region throughout ages past and thecenturies to come until tbe time arrive' for the earth to rejuvenate Its exhausted soils through tbe agencies which tbe Ore' ator utilizes for bis workers, water and fire.

Washington, Jan. 7. Senator Lodge, chairman of the committee on Phil ippines, unlay will introduce a bill tor a temporary fcovemmont of the Philip pines. Tbe Mil does not attempt to establish a new f'-rm of government in the Philippines, but confirms the action of President McKinley In creat ing a commission and ratifies the acts of that commission under instructions of the president dated April 7. 1900. It also gives the president authority, while there ia armed resistance In any part of the islands to the United States, to regulate and control inter Island commerce. Section 4 gives the government of the Philippines power to improve the harbors and other In struments of commerce, and section 5 turns over to the government of the Philippines all lands devoted now to public use. L'ndcr section 6, the government of the Philippines U empowered to make inles and regulations for 'the disposi tion of public lands, other than tim ber and mineral lands after they have been approved by the president and congress. Then follows a series of provisions to euable the commission to provide for the small native land holders who are occupying and for a long lime have occupied public lands, lut who have no titles to protect thorn in their holdings. Next comes provisions in regard to timber lauds, which are r.ct to be sold or leased by the commission, who have power only to tsrua licenses to cut timber tinder the forestry regulations now In force in the Islands. The pro visions as to mineral lands are very elaborate and embody the mineral laws embraced within the report of the commission. One of the most import ant provisions In the bill is that em powering the Philippine rcuimission to purchase the lands of the religious orders and dispose of them on proper terms to the actual occupants. An ap peal from the supreme court of the islands to the supreme court of th United States is provided In certain cases. Municipalities and the city of Manila are authorized to borrow mon ey aud to issue bonds for municipal improvements. Previsions are embodied for estab lishing a coinage system on the lines of Special Agent Conant's report. The final sections cf tho bill make pro visions for a banking system and au-thorlu- national banks of the United Suites to be established in the Philip- rmes. Anllqnllr of Tin.
