FOUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL. POETS.

FOUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL POETS.
Waterloo, Byron and Scott wouId have left
unpenned many of their greatest lines.
Without the battle of Cedar Creek, 'sSneri-
dams Ride would never have thrilled the
patriotic schoolboy orator and his hearers
and if Eneas had not been partial to little
wariike excitement now and then Virgil
would never have written "Arma Virnm-
que Cano." *
1t is safe to assert, too, that if the great
battles between Yale. Princeton, Harvard,
Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania
had never been fought some Of the worlds
best-and worst-football verse would not
now be ct large. What Napoleon, Well
ington: Grant, Sherman ard Lee have been
to war, such great commanders as Hinkey,
Trenchard Mackey and Waters are Go foot
ball. AD interesting insight into Captain
Hinkey's methods in battle is given BY the
following truly Homeric uuatrain written
By Yale poet:
A half back went for Hinkey's end,
He went a little way.
In silence Hinkey climbed his neck
And slammed him down to stay.
When the Pennsylvanians were battling
with Yale at New York recently, their 20
etical adherents were singing the following
to the tune of John Browns Body"
Pennsylvania's colors we are wearing oncs
again,
Faded just q little by the battle in the rain,
What they want is victory to wipe away the
stain.

POINTERS.

Will the tariff question continue to be agitated? Is the drift toward sound money? Some idea of the proper answer to these questions can be gathered from the action of Democratic State conventions held in four different States within the past few days.
 Idaho declares for a tariff for revenue only, and demands free coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to l.
 Indiana adopts platform of tariff for revenue only, and faVors the free coinage of gold and silver on equal terms, under international agreement or by such safe- guards of legislation as will maintain the parity of the two metals.
 Tennessee declared for tariff for reve- nue only, and in favor of the bimetallic standard as it existed prior to 1878, and the coinage by the United States, without ref erence to the policy of other nations, of both gold and silver in such manner as will maintain both metals in circulation at parity.
 Texas indorsed President Cleveland's ad- ministration and declared for sound money by adopting the plank of the Chicago plat form of 1892.

TOADVINE,s ROMANCE.

To the Age Herald:
 ToADvINE, Aug. 24.-I see in the AaE- HERALD of August 23 a romance of our re- nowned city, and wish to make some cor rections, as it is now before your readers. Toadvine is quite romance and world wide, and only twenty four miles west of Birmingham.

Arrived at that prison on the 9th of Decem- Der, 1883, and sent away February 15, 1865. And while in prison we had a MT. Toad vine, who was our orderly sergeant, He and Mir. Dick Nash, Texas ranger, dis puted and closed in for fight. In the time of being prisoner l had the good will of MT. Toadvine, while the ruffiau, MT. Nash, was opposed to anything that was civil. While the mentioned individuals were in struggle l, for the first time in them from being parted. So my man that ing blows sufficient to make the Texan call upon the third person. Now, when the postmaster general saw fit to establish postofice at this place of romance, he re- quested that propose name for the of- lice, hence ToadviDe. It Is a little singular that this name Toadvine has been written in Alexandria, Egypt. Now, this is true statement of the origin. 1 have been around here ever since 1921.

MORE RETRENCHMENT.

MT. Alex T. London has communica- tion in the AGE- HERALD this morning which may bring about some discussion in this day of popular demand for retrench- ment. It is not at all surprising that the compensation of county officials should be discussed just at this lime, when the pub- lie is seeking to know the why's and where fores of general financial stringency. For a long time the fee system has been talked about, and various estimates have been made as to the probable income of Jeffer- son county officials, but not until now has there been anything like move on the public chess board for an investigation. The law as it now stands fixes the fee bills in all the counties of the State alike, re- gardless of the volume of business trans- acted; consequently the larger counties cess of the emoluments received by officers of the smaller coun- ties. Ordinarily the volume of business, or work. should regulate, but over pay, which proves burdensome to the public, should not be tolerated. There should at least be maximum allowance.
 The AGE- HERALD is not in a position to know how near accurate are the figures presented by MT. London, as there seems to be no law which car compel these off, cials to make showing of their receipts, aud as it is, it seems 10 be a matter of pri vato business II, however, he is correct in the estimates, there should be retrench-

JOHN RANDOLPH AND PATRICK
 HENRY.
To the Age-Herald:

To the Age Herald;
 There is an error in communication over the signature of J. w. D. in your issue of today relative to John Randolph of Roan oke and Patrick Henry. They were never aspirants for the same office, although politically opposed. MT. Ran dolph was a candidate for congress and MT. Henry for the state senate of the house of delegates of Virginia. It was the occa- sion of the first appearance of MT. Ran dolph before the people for political pre- ferment. There s an incident connected with his first speech during the canvass. Mir. Henry first addressed the people, then MT. Randolph mounted the rostrun. An Irishman who was present said: s'Judging from the extreme youthful appearance of Mir. Randolph, to listen to him would be like the batting of an old tin pan after hearing fine church organ.' The popu- lace were agreeabiy disappointed, also Mir. Henry who did not expect to find so formi- dabie an opponent of his political opinion in one so young and inexperienced. MT. Horny again mounted the hustings and, as the historean says made the speech of his life, and in concluding turned and patted MT. R. on the head and said: s'People of Charlotte am about to pass from the stage of publiot life Mir. R. is just enter ing. He will make an invaluable man; honor and cherish him.o MT. Henry was elected to the state senate, but did not live to take his seat. MT. Randolph was also elected to congress. l am writing from memory and have not the statistics to cull from to give the literal quotation. They were never opponents for The same office. !

HARpER's WEEKLY says editorisily that the tariff question has been settled, at least during Clevelands term. But this editorial was written before Cleveland's letter to Catchings. MT.

THE expression "mad protection," used by President Cleveland in his letter to MT. Catchings, will go down in history with his other epigrams. 'tMad protection'- maddened by the lust for power and the thirst for wealth. Like tiger with taste of blood, it flashes it's tail in fury and foams at the mouth in it's hunger for more yic- tins. Vampire like, it has famed the face of it's victim with it's wings, while it sucked the blood from it's veins. Crazed by the drink of spcliation it would shatter the fabric of the government to get more drink. Consumed by an insatiate thirst that grows. by what it feeds upon, it would barter official honor and personal integrity for more drink.

THE Kolb men say they will organize g dual Legislature, elect a Senator in place of Senator Morgan and adjourn, trusting to a Republican Congress to seat him. If utsey carry out this programme of a dua! Legislature they will give to the world repetition of the Rump Parliament, which has excited the laughter of all the succeed ing ages. In Cromwell's time this dual Parliament WAS called together in opposi- tion to the "Long Parliament It was organized by band of fanatics, with Bare- bone at it's head. 1t was of short duration and was the laughing stock of all England. Barebone was the subject of Imaginable car toons. He was an oratorical demagogue and fanatical partisan. Perhaps Parson Adams will be the Barebone of Kolb's Rump Legislature.
