SENATE AND PRESIDENT.

A distinguished Senator - informs
Western correspondent-and, by the
way, we notice It is only with Senators
who are distinguished" that CORE
spondcnts are on familiar speaking
terms-that the adverse reports upon
President Cleveland nominations now
before the Senate are likely to aggre
gate at least a hundred in number, un.
less the offensive nominations are in
The meantime withdrawn.
Assuming this statement to be true,
it goes very far towards confirming the
accuracy of the statement made over
six months ago by The CRITIC to the
effect that q programme of opposition
TO Mr., Cleveland's appointments was
agreed upon at o Senatorial confer
cnce in March. 1t shows at least
that the spirit which predominated at
that conference has not become so
much modified by the lapse Of time or
course of events that it hesitatos to as
scrt itself now that the nominations of
The President are coming up to be acted
on.
While still adhering to The truth ,of
our original statement, however-a
statement that has never been sue
cessfully contradicted, simply because
il was the statement Of a fact--we have
reason to believe that not enough Re.
publican Senators can be counted now
TO make possible or profitable the
merely factious war upon the Ad-
ministration that was at first con
templated.
The assumption, therefore, that ad.
verse reports are to be made upon such
large number of nominations as sug-
gested by the distinguished" Senator
above referred to, is somewhat strained
The element of partisan antagonism to
the President in the Senate is by no
means inconsiderable or without in
fluence, but 1t is in minority, and
there are considerations of public
policy as well as of party conservatism
that are more than likely to hold it in
check. If not, so much the better for

ALABAMA's BIG FUTUnE.

In reference to the wonderful growth
of Birmingham, Ala, it appears that
the extension of the Georgia Pacific
Railway across the central coal basin,
twenty-five miles west of Birmingham,
has begotten great activity in the coal
land market, and that coal lands of the
University that were selling at $12. so
are now held at $50, while selected coal
lands are of much greater value. This
Georgia (Atlanta) & Mississippi Road
penetrates the centre of the coal basin,
as will the roads from Memphis and
that from Sheffield ION the Tennessee),
both of which will pierce the very
heart of the coal fields twenty. five
miles west of Birmingham. These
lands are now leased at 10 cents ton
TO coal diggers, and thus pay the own
crs $500 per acre. In other words, in
selling these coal fields the vendors
guarantee the "output" Of 0,000 tons
for each acre. The coal measures are
said TO underlie one another through
the depth of 8 1000 feet, twice the thick
ness of the richest mines of Pennsyl-
vania. Eight or ten furnaces breathe
flame and smoke through all the days
and nights of the year, and cotton mill
and glass factory will soon give en-
ployment to laborers who can live in
the mild climate of Birmingham for
one-fourth less than in New England.
When the roads from Birmingham
10 Sheffield and Memphis are completed
during the coming year st. Louis and
Memphis will become the great dis
tributing points for coal and iron of
Birmingham, where ten railways will
then converge. These coal fields and
iron mines are also penetrated by the
Warrior River, which, it is proposed,
shall be made nayigable for barges.
One tugboat on the Mississippi is the
equivalent in the transportation of
heavy freights in barges of twenty
locomotives When these barges may
be used and Mobile Harbor is opened,
the navies of the world passing through
transisthmian canals or over ship
railways will be supplied with iron at IS
or SO per ton and with coal at less than
$3.50 per ton at Mobile. If Mobile be
made accessible and the Warrior River
an arm of the sen, Alabama becomes
instantly the richest of States and
Birmingham the most prosperous of
Southern cities.

BosToN's NEW WATER sonEME.

The proposition of Benjamin F.

measures to obtain her water supply
from the BIerrimack, just above the
dam at Manchester, New Hampshire,
on the high moral ground that the first
use of pure water should be for drink

turing, purposes, is somewhat calcu-

The UBiOR's head is level on this point

As AN EXPLANATION of the recent
failure of Colonel Henry Watterson to
secure an audience with Secretary
Endicott, it is said that the card sent in
was that of Henry w. Wallerson,"
and the Secretary knowing no such
man, refused to see the genial editor
and the friends accompanying him in
the capacity, we suppose, of body
guard to the star-eyed goddess of re-
form, who is Mr. Watterson's constant
companion. AS the original account
of his rebuff stated that he and his
friends had before reaching the War
Department been having "a agood time"
round town-in which, of course, the
goddess, not being giddy divinity,
did not participate-the fact that the
card read Henry w. Wallerson
seems to be fully accounted for. The
Colonel should cross his t's and spell
Henry with an i, with dot over it.
Then he would never fail to be recog-
nized nor become an offense to the
altitudinous social etiquette of the War
Department.

THERE is u town in New England
the name of it the War Department re-
fuses to make public-which is going
TO have an anniversary celebration, and,
being proud Of its record in the late
war, intended to make that portion of
its history one Of the most prominent
features of the anniversary event. In
order to have everything official about
the military section of the jubilee, the
town authorities wrote to the War De-
partment for transcript of the records
of the soldiers whom it had furnished
to the Union Army. Although against
the general rules of the department an
exception was made in this case, and
the material asked for was furnished.
And now 1t appears from the official
data that about sixty citizens of the
place were drafted, twenty-four of
whom were accepted after examination.
Of the number accepted twenty-three
promptly put in substitutes, and the
other, with equally commendable
alacrity, hied him to Canada where he
remained until the cruel war was over.
The military feature of the anniversary
celebration, we are informed, has been
indefinitely postponed on account Of
the official records.
