ly continued the French alliance, as we
had done during the revolutionary war,
there is every reason to believe that the
results would have continued to be sat
isfactory. Combined, we were stronger
than Great Britain; separately, she could
overcome each. The Hamilton policy
played Into England's hands by giving
her the advantage of combatting her ene
mies one at a time. How any honest
student can fail to see this without put
ting out his eyes, we cannot understand.
Hold, open alliance with France gave the
weak colonies victory over Great Britain;
bold, loyal observance of our treaty
■with her would have continued to main
tain a superiority over her. Had we
kept faith, had wo kept flags of the
two republics intertwined, the tree which
had home such good fruit would have
continued to bear good fruit.
France had asked us for nothing that
we could not safely have granted. Genet's
privateers were not hurting us. Genet's
proposition to have George Rogers < larke
call for volunteers and march against
Spanish New Orleans was not likely to
damage us. Genet's prayer that we pa>
France what wo owed her was not such
a verv extravagant prayer—especially in
view of the fact that he was willing to
take it “in trade.” Jefferson thought
that the request should be granted, and
so wrote. Rut most unfortunately the
spell of Hamilton was upon the cabinet,
nnd the British faction carried the day.
They kept us from getting the immense
benefit of the sudden strength displayed
by the French republic. They kept us
from deriving any benefit from the vic
tories of Napoleon. And they could not
prevent England from searching our ves
sels, seizing our sailors and capturing
our morehantment during the whole hu
miliating period. Xnd then when 1* rance,
had been exhausted and lay bleeding at
every pore, England pounced upon the
silly nation which had not known what
an opportunity was when they saw it; and
she had the extreme good luck to fight us
nhen France could not have helped had
she been inclined.
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt speaks of the
"inf.-imii." conduct” of Jefferson and Mad
ison in not p- paring this republic for
war “Infamous" is a strong word oven
when applied to well-recognized knaves;
v hen applied to such men as Jefferson
arc Madison it has no m ire moaning
than Dane 1 O'Connell's reference to the
duke of Wellington as “a stunted corpo
ral" or Ihe British epithet “Corsican
oger” when applied to Napoleon. Mi.
Roosevelt was young when he denounced
Jefferson and Madison as “infamous;”
he would not repeat that statement now,
we may be sure.
But when even a younger man, it might
have occurred to Mr. Roosevelt that all
wars have their remote causes, sometimes
bidden sources; and he might have in
quired “What was the true origin of our
war of IS12?” And had he given the
subject the same fearless, intelligent and
Independent study that he gave to the
inqust of the southwest, he would have

ALABAMA’S GOVERNOR
ON PEONAGE,
Makes No Excuse for Persons Con
victed cf Peonage, but Says
Whole People Should Not
Be Blamed for Acts
of Few.
Montgomery. Ala., September I.—The
Alabama legislature reconvened here to
day and the most important matter to
come before the two houses was the
governor's message.
The most important part, of the mes
sage contained the governor’s remarks
on Peonage. He said:
“In at least one city in Alabama, sev
eral farmers have been working men
and women under guard 'witliout legal au
thority to do so. One or more of these
offenders have been sinners for a dozen
years. They have acted without the
shadow of a right and have been plain
violators of the state laws.
"The Offe-.se has been notorious in the
community and these criminals should
have long since been inmates of the
penitentiary That good people surround
ing them allowed a persistence in this
evil doing has focused on the whole state
the attention of malevolent critics.
"These several farmer-contractors had
helpers in complaisant justices and con
stables. The latter were more guilty
than the principals. They basely be
trayed a solemn trust.
little Furor in Georgia.
"In Georgia several like persons were
found guilty and sentenced without
• renting a furor but our few and shining
rascals have caught, the public eye. We
haw somehow secured the attention of
the world and columns of abuse from peo
ple no better than our own have tilled
the public prints.
"By some means, other matters of
grave import were forgotten and Ala
bama's sins, with their center in a single
county, have held the almost undivided
attention of the whole country, the se
crets of the grand jury on he morrow,
occupying large space, under brilliant
headlines in eastern newspapers, and the
gaping multitudes read everywhere, on
the sensational bulletin boards, of slavery
In Alabama. A leading paper sent its
agents to enlarge upon our sins. I bey
printed the misinformation broadcast,
enlarged upon the facts they did not
have and contributed to the general mis
conception of the whole story in the pub
lic mind. I am afraid this lias sent
abroard the impression that we h id in the
state only a few good persons, and yet
wc now that no respectabb citizen has
any svmpathy with these criminals, ami
that citizens’ without a great deal of
respectability are as outraged as their
moral natures will allow.
No Sympathy with Criminals.
"Each of you genetiemen must be de
lighted to know that several at least,
of the eighteen sinners indicted by the
t’nited States grand jury will suffer some
sort of a penalty for their grave crimes.
Though you doubtless would have pre
ferr.-d that it. had been done in your own
courts and will) 1< "s furious acclaim.”
The governor calls attention to the fact
that there was only one murder com
mitted by a mob in Alabama during the
it. .-, n: year, ami the.-,- im n hav- be. n
.rro.ded and ar- now out on bond.
The house ami senate were flooded
with local bills. The house and senate
will now only meet every other day until
September 11.
A bill was introduced in the house that
convicts who have s. rw .1 their sentences
be given transportation to the place of
conviction.
The governor this afternoon vetoed the
bill to appropriate $2,500 to purchase the
old Jeff Davis residence.
NEW DISEASE KILLS CUBANS.
Pathologists of the United States

New York, September I.—Menaced by a

Tile description of th" disease furnished
by the Cuban physicians allow that it

It is in death that the disease presents
its most, horrible plyase. The victim’s

KEYSTONEDEMOCRATS
NAMETICKET,
Platform Is Brief and Is Entirely
Devoted to State Affairs—Con
vention 'Was 'Well At
tended for an Off
Year.
Harrisburg. Pa.. September 2.—The dem
ocratic state convention today nominated
the following ticket, by acclamation:
Auditor General—Senator Arthur G.
Dewait, of Lehigh county.
State Treasurer —Senator Joel G. Hill,
of Wayne county.
Judges of the Superior Court— Ex-Judge
Calvin Heyburn, of Armstrong county,
and John A. Ward, of Philadelphia.
The platform adopted is briefer than
the usual demoeatic de-ilaration of piin
clples ami is devoted entirely to stale is
sues. The greater part of it deals with the
last legislature and its work and the
conduct of the state government. The
Grady-Salus libel law is strongly con
demned.
The convention was well attended for
an "oft year” in state politics, the cam
paign will bo conducted by Chairman J.
K. P. Hall, of the democratic state com
mittee, from the headquarters in
citv. Flic nominee ior uiiclitor &enci<H
anil stale treasurer and Senator Webster
L. Grim, of Bucks county, permanent
chairman of the convention, were mem
bers of the last legislature and voted
against the Grady-Salus libel bill, which
will be one of Hie principal issues in tile
campaign.
The Platform.
"Tlie organized democracy of Pennsyl
vania, addressing Pennsylvanians of all
political parties, again calls upon them
to unite with it in a. supreme effort to rid
our commonwealth of that selfish, cor
rupt. extravagant and debasing rule
which still controls its affairs. Today
we witness tile astonishing spectacle of
almost the entire republican press of the
state and country denouncing the gov
• mor for his approval of the Gtadyt-
Salus libel law, the product, as they de
clare, of the worst motives and purposes
ol tile republican machine. This law.
they charge, was deliberately intende.i
by its authors and promoters as an as
sault upon the freedom of the press.
"To Ihe repeal of this measure the
state can safely count upon the vote ano
effort of every <lemocratic member of
the next legislature To the defeat ol the
candidate who stands for the purposes
behind it and the methods ,>f its adoption,
We pledge (be bes; efforts of our party
and invito the aid of ■ ; al.
We denounce the republican organization
for its repeated and persistent disregard
of its pledges to give th. state a fail
ballot law on behalf of the people of
Hie state W" demand the < naetment of a
ballot law which shall provide for per
sona! registiation of vof- rs in the cities
of the state, insure a free, equal, secret
ballot, and the opening of ballot noxes
obligatory when demanded by ei.izens
charging contemplated or accompllshe.l
frauds.
"We deplore ihe .'oiitinvi'd existence
of labor troubles and express Ihe hope
'that through concession, moderation and
lair dealing, early adjustments may be
reached, while wo concede I
to employer.- ihe utmost protection
guaranteed by the eonstitution ami the
right to that nrotcetion which comes
through organization and union."
The platform opposes the present sys
tem of taxation and favors the repc.,l ol
all mereantlb- licens" taxes and a re
turn into th- loe il city, county and bor
ough t.reasurii s of rill other license taxes
collected therein.

Thomas County Negroes Stirred.
Thomasville. Ga., September I.—The
mysterious killing of the negro Tom
Williams last Friday night, has greatly
stirred the negroes in one section of
Thomas county
About 9 o'clock Friday night Williams
went out of his house and in response
to a call walked some distance away.
Soon afterward his wife heard several
shots and on going to investigate found

eral gunshot wound.- In his body. He
lived only a short time afterward and
tailed to give a elm. to the id' ntity
ol the assailant.
Williams’ wife accused a young white
man of doing the deed, but the coroner's
jury could find no evidence against him
ami declared that Williams came :o Ills
death at the hands of unknown parties
The W illiams family was a rather ugly
one. and the words of his wife stirred
up the neighboring negroes tn a high
pitch. They believed that the white peo
ple wore responsible for their friends
death, and they proposed to avenge it.
A very large crowd was present at
Williams' funeral, and they seemed very

that "the white people would find all
about this in a few days. This trouble
has not started yet." Williams' brother

Columbus, Ohio, September 2.—W. J.
Bryan was the guest today of the Ohio
state board of agriculture, and tins af
ternoon delivered a nonpartisan address
at tlie state fair grounds. John 11. ('larke.
of Cleveland, indorsed by the democratic
state convention for L'nited States sen
ator. spoke from the same platform. Mr.
Bryan left late in the afternoon for
Marion, Ohio, where he addressed a demo
cratic meeting tonight.
While in Columbus Mr. Bryan gave out
t ,-latemcnt relative to the indorsement
of John 11. Clarke for Fulled Slates sen
ator, in part as follows:
"I would have preferred the nomination
of some one who had been active ami
earnest in the support of all planks of
our platform, but the delegates who in
dorsed the Kansas City platform also in
dorsed Mr. Clark, ami after talking with
him ami listening to his speech last night.
I am satisfied that his sympathies are
with the people in their tight against or
ganized wealth, and that, if elected sen
ator, he can be trusted to stand for the
reform for which the democratic, party
is contending.

"He is in favor ol an income tax. Ilia
views on Imperialism and the tariff are
sound, and in line with democratic princi

was grievously in • rror in 1596.
"But. since that time the argument

shall trust to him to carry out his plat
form on all quesdons that come before
him rather than -ive encouragement to
those who elect a republican legislature,
and thus not only return Mr. Hanna, but
prevent the enactment of needed legisla
tion.

INJUSTICE DONE FOREIGNERS.
Willemstad. Island of Curacoa, August
31. -Harsh injust ce is b-ing meted out
to foreigners residing in the interior ot
Venezuela when the local authorities are
hunting down all for'-igners who dare to
present claims against \'-nezuel i In ac
cordance with the recent protocol.
Near Coro a loci.l tribunal refused to
• pt th" testimony of five Italians. On
th, latter insisting on tendering their
deposition, three wen arrested ami
thrown into jail. Two of them attempt
ed to escape and w- re fired upon, one
; being killed. The Venezuelan govern
i m ni does not limy tl.is occurrence, but
’ :s doing nothing to prevent repetitions
, It is learned on good authority tiat
I, iters sent to foreigners from the Italian
and other legations instructing them to
' ~,i in their claims were seized in the
past so as io prevent the claims from
irriving in Caracas in due time.

EFN. ffIRDDN TELLS OF HIS FLOHIDJ HOME
General John B. Gordon, who has just
finished his book of war reminiscences,
is looking forward with deepest interest
to his return this fall to southern Flor
ida. wher-- he is preparing to plant his
ffreliards of oranges, pineapples, bananas,
grape fruit, Avocnta pears, etc. To the
request for a brief statement about that
portion of Florida, the general said:
"Like every other locality, it h:>- ; ' ts
objections, in some par tieulnrs. Ibe
most serious objection to it, 1 think. I.
the mosquitoes. At. certain s -asons they
arc very annoying’, but fortwiatelA tb* .■

working portion of the year. We 1-. .*’ •'

plant our crops of tomatoes a.i‘
brans and other vegetables in N- -' m
her. Deecmb. r and January and ship to
market in March. April and Ma.'- , Our
crops are planted, made . nd market" I
in five or six months in.-tc-ad of tw-'I-.o
months as is the ease with colt m
"Wiiat is your hading and most profit
able crop, general?"
“Tomatoes arc much the larg"St pru-t
--i;et in that section, b it other vi ’et.ibl 'S
are shipped in ccnsiderabl- quantiti -s.
"Is vegetable growing profitable in that
locality ?”
"Yes, very profitable, but like all crops
there are some drawbacks We make
heavy crops some "i-asons and fighter
cnes .r. other years; but 1 eonsid. : the
raising of tomatoes, et".. in that part
of Florida as vastly more profitable than
raising cotton or other crops in other
states. You perceive that our crops are
grown in midwinter and we get them to
market when other sections are. just be
ginning to plant. Hence our crops are
sold at fancy prices.”
“Tell me how much profit is made to
the acre."
"Well, that 1-pends on the kind -if
land, the seasons and largely upon the
industry of the farmer himself. I should
scy that tomatoes pa v not (that is above
expenses) in that locality from SSO to
s3o<l per acre. Much larger profits thin
tlr'se are sometimes made; but the larg
•st net. profits per acre are usually made
by hard working men, who do their own
labor, who cultivate well and prune thi-ir
tomato vines by hand. This hand prun
ing is said to double the crop.
"1 want to say, howei.-r, that raising
vegetables, which is exceedingly attrac
tive ana very lucrative to energetic men
v.-'.io are willing to work, is not one
half as important an industry a.-: the
planting agid growing of tropical fruits
In that extreme southern portion of Flor
ida Growing vegetables is only a step
ping-stone to planting of orchards, which
ii.sure large and certain and permanent
incomes.”
"Do you think, general, that fruit
growing flown there is more promising
and surer than peach growing in Ge t
“Oh, yes. far more promising. You
can see why it is so. There is no s.ueh
thing as failure ol fruit crops from
frost. We have larger and smaller crops
in different years, but a crop every year
is cert, in .ini the profits per .-‘.ere ara
far greater than from peaches. I have
oeen raising peaches myself for many
(ears in middle fl -orgia ...nd have found
it very profitable; but I would rather
leave as a legacy to my children a well
established orchard in the fruits suUc I
to that southern section of Florida than
io leave them ten times as many acres
in peach orchards. Yon see. the great
d.ff.-.-enccs are these: First, the certain
ty <.t a crop every year as against the
great uncertainty In the peach crop;
second, the much larger profit per acre;
'bird, the long life of tn e orange, the
grape fruit, the Avocata pear, etc.
An investment in such orchards is a
ijermanent one—the trees lasting for a
1.L.-time The grape fruit, as you know,
which is in form and color like an
t normons mange, is getting t 0 !>• the
great bteakfast fruit in an OU| .

less he chooses to be. It is a new coun
try and labor is in greet 'demand, and
when his time Is not needed in hi® cron
or when he wishes to labor for cash
in order to help him pay expenses, he can
get :it least $1 per da.y for every honest
days labor. Sometimes more. In th"
j-it’kmg and packing season women and
children make c’onec. First--lass pack
ers earn from $3 to $5 per day. Women
often make bv packing tomatoes in rhe
crates from s■’ to $2.50 ->er .lav. thTYt
a poor man with plenty en-Tgv can do

"o far as me knowledge extends. If ho
has no money he can -arrange to work a
part of his time In Ms crop and part
of his time for very high wages and In
the packing season find light and pleas
ant and veip- profitable employment for
his family. He can rent a few acres of
prairie land for his tomato crop or ho can
arrange to plant on shares and can buy
on long credit another piece of land on
which to begin his orchards. In less
than six months his tomato crop will be
made and sold. Then ho has six months
more for other work. Whereas in cotton
he scarcely gets through with one crop
before he has to begin preparing for the
next. With a fair success In his tomato
crop he will be prepared for going ahead
with Ms orch.atxl?, and tvh,eiy he gets 20.
