To the Standard.
The destiny of the Magic City is, to
the mind of your correspondent an
unsolved problem. Perhaps the
growth of no city South has equaled
that of Birmingham during the last
few years, but she is wanting in many
of those elements that make cities
truly great.
Her coal and iron industries will
ever keep the city alive and advanc-
ing. But then her population is mot
ley and mongrel indeed. OF course
there are many refined, educated and
moral people here, but there are hun
dreds for whom.nOthing can be said
save that they seem to think the
world owes them a living and if they
can't procure it one way they will
another. Considering the population
of the city there are more idlers and
tramps, "dead-beats" and thieves
than any city South. But one thing,
be it said to the city's honor, enables
honest people to live to a certain de-
gree in peace and security, and that
is the remarkably stringent munich
pal law and the active, watchful, and
efficient police force.
The Sunday law is perfectly en-
forced here. Nothing can be pur-
chased on this day save whatever can
be served up mt a Understand. And
person found at any time in a state
of intoXication upon the streets is
kindly put where "the rude laugh of
the passerby troubleth him not" and
when he has so far recovered from
his little spree as to appreciate the
kindness to him shown, he is brought

Bogus Butter.

New York Star
Following up the general move
ment against the bogus butter traffic
inseveral States, the firstgun has been
fired at Albany in the form of most
effective speech by Senator Low.
That Gentleman, who last year came
to the front as the champion of the
dairy interests of the State, called up
from the table on Monday the joint
resolution he introduced last year
memorializing Congress to pass a law
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of oleomargarine, and supported his
motion by speech in which he
showed by statistics the rapid growth
of the traffic, domestic and export, in
bogus butter, and the danger that
threatens the dairy interests Of the
whole country and the general public
health. He asserted what the Star, in
the course OF its exposures, has al
ready shown to be true, that fully 70
per cent. of all butter sold byretailers
in New York city is adulterated, and
that so per cent. is guiltless of a trace
of the creamery or the original COW.
Mr.. Lows resolution was adopted
without opposition, and now goes to
the Assembly for concurrence, where
it will probably pass at an early date.

before the mayor, and if he can't pay
his fine, kindness is still further ex-
tended to him in allowing that fine
to be cancelled by working from
twenty to one hundred days upon the
streets. The streets still need much
improvement. And the Stag from
the smithing furnaces furnishes SPLEEN
did material for matchmaking, and
so long as the whisky traffic is engaged
in, the saloons will continue to pro-
vide good force Of city convicts
whose labor is utilized in building up
good streets and sidewalks. Viewed
from this standpoint, it appears that
saloons are quite essential to the i'm
provement and upbuilding Of this
city.
Real estate is booming without
many purchasers. The prices now
asked for lots would be q fair valua-
ton for the same lots five years hence
let the growth of the city be what it
may. The owners of someot the lots,
situated upon some of the prospective
principal streets, are so excited as to
be far from selling at any price, but
will lease a vacant lot in considera-
ton of twenty-five dollars per month
for five pears, at end of which time
the lot and all Improvements revert
from lessee to lessor.
There are three daily papers pub
lished within the city limits and de-
voted principally to the city's inter-
ests, but / doubt much if these long
winded puffs of said papers rebound
to the benefit or advantage of the
city. The world is full of people
seeking easy positions with big pay,
and as proof that Birmingham too
has her share, we have but to state
that a salesman was advertised for in
the dailies last week, and the firm
advertising received thirty-five re-
sponses promptly. And there are as
many applicants on an average to
one vacancy in every other business
or branch of industry. / met a Ten
nessean here who informed me that
when he first came here he could not
secure any kind of labor notwith-
standing he offered to work for his
board. That may sound strange to
Warren county people, but it is not
very strange when it is remembered
that here one months board can be
secured for from seventeen to twenty
dollars in private families, and at
hotels for as much higher figure as
you see proper to make it. 1t is re-
ported in Montgomery paper that a
citizen of that place stopped one week
at one of theprincipal hotels here and
squared off by paying sixty-seven
dollars; his "grub" amounted to fif-
teen dollars and the fluids necessary
for floating dude through this fast
place run up the rest of the bill.
If there are any in Tennessee who
wish to know more of Birmingham
than / have told, send them on down
They can acquire an experimental
knowledge here that will be of use to
them in after life. But don't forget
the cash, nothing else passes here in
exchange save slight-of-hand traffic.

accommodate three passengers side

when the car is not crowded, in night

"At the meeting of the directors of

able that arrangements will be made
for the construction of the Bon Air
line, which will be built from Sparta
six miles out to the coal fields of the
Bon Air company. This company,
it is understood, has about made ar
rangements to place the bonds neces-
sary to be issued by the railroad, a
condition precedent to the building of
the road, and the sanction of the di-
rectory only is now needed to put
through this line. Though it will be
short, being an extension of the Spar
ia branch for six miles out, its de-
veloping power, it is reliably stated,
will be immense"

is an increase of two per cent over the

crease of five per cent, while in sheep
there is d decrease of about six per
cent. The Department of Agricul-

WE quite frequently see favorable
comments from the West Tennessee
papers upon our late Congressman,
Gen. G. G. Dibrell. Here is what the
Forked Deer Blade, of Jackson, thinks
about him, boiled down in a few
terse terms:
"Gen. Geo. G. Dibrell, a grand old
man, brave and gallant soldier, an
honest, upright man, plain, practi-
cal citizen and farmer-a man who
has been an honor to Tennessee in
Congress, and the man who will be
the next Governor of Tennessee,
spent few days among his friends
in the city this week."
THE Republican Senators, in their
idiotic and insane fight upon the
President, while they are giving the
administration some Temporary en-
barrassment, are but strengthening
the Democratic party. They are
binding the Democratic leaders and
the President more closely together ;
they are Obliterating the petty differ
ences in the Democratic ranks; they
are piling up tones of campaign ma
terial for the Democrats to use to good
advantage during the next three
years; they are driving the fair
minded, better class of voters out OF
their ranks and making votes for the
Democracy in 1888. Like madden
ed reptile they are burying their
fangs into the miserable carcass OF
their own organization. Tortured
and blinded by defeat they are but
hurrying ignominious destruction.
