the North, the East, and the West
for inviting fields in which to achieve
fame and fortune. Birmingham now
presents opportunities for the invest
ment of capital and brains and muscle
unsurpassed, we might say UNI
equaled, by any other section
of the United States. And in
this respect the magic city is but a
type of Memphis, Nashville, Chat
tanoOga, Decatur, and scores Of other
places in the South, in all of which
there are present and prospective adj
vantaGes not to be found elsewhere,
North, East or West.
We take it for granted that every
body comedies that as a matter Of
course Birmingham's wonderful
glory and greatness could never have
been achieved without the help of
excellent newspapers, and Birming-
ham has good reason to be proud of
its two splendid dailies, the Herald
and the Age. Tennessee is large
ly represented on the staff and work.
ing force of both of them. The party
of Tennessee editors gathered in the
editorial rooms of the Herald on
Monday night by special invitation
of its editors and proprietors, and
were royalty entertained for couple
of hours with a big bowl of punch,
fine cigars, and a continuous flow of
wit and eloquence. A number Of
toasts were proposed and responded
to by different gentlemen in happy
style. This wound up the round Of
festivities of the eighteenth annual
session of the Tennessee Press Associ-
alton, and little before midnight the
members took the l.. q n. train for
their homes. Taken altogether it
was the most important, successful,
and interesting meeting of the Asso-
citation ever held, and only those who
attended the meeting can appreciate
its advantages to themselves and to
the readers of their papers as well.
Every editor in the state owes it as a
duty to himself and readers to attend
these meetings, and thus extend his
views and broaden his knowledge of
men and their affairs with which he
has to deal in every issue of his paper.

CLEVELAND has again demonstrate
ed in very pointed manner that he
is President of the United States in
his appointment of a Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court. Mr.. Melville
w. Fuller, of Chicago, was the for
tunate gentleman to receive this rare
stroke judicial lightning. He was
not an applicant for the place, his
name had never been mentioned by
the press in connection with the po-
sition, and he was taken completely
by surprise when the announcement
was made to him that he had receiv-
ed the appointment from the Presi-
dent. He is said to be eminently
qualified for the duties Of the office,
and the appointment seems to give
general satisfaction. His name was
sent to the Senate by the President
Monday.
