IRON AND STEEL.

Steel and iron are now used in many ways where wood alone was formerly used. Before long houses will be built almost en- tirely of steel and glass. Since iron and steel are so universally used as substitute for lumber there has been an enormous in- crease in the capacity of the iron and steel works of the world. The German Iron Trade Association has lately taken the pains to point out, for the benefit of all con- cerned, the many advantages to be gained by the resort 10 steel and it would seem that there is barely single use left for wood in constructive detail, and not much in ornamental finish, except genuine carving. The modern edifice is nearest perfection in point of durability and safety, according to the proportion in which metal has excluded wood. It is now proposed that wood shall be dispensed with entirely in the framework of railway rolling stock, and this means something when we remem- Der that there are about 2,500, GOO railway vehicles, exclusive of locomotives. In mines Dletal is doing away with wood, and the use of iron pit props in France has shown that they need to be renewed only half as often as those of wood. At the same time metal has it's own special risks, and it is suggested, for example, that unless care fully insulated large building full of steel and iron might be as susceptible to electro lyptic action by stray currents eating it up as though it were rail, forming part of an electric railway circuit, or gas or water pipes adjacent thereto. If this new danger exists its remedy should be readily discoy-

A TERRIBLE VISIrANT,

Pain is alway a terrible visitant, and of- ten domiciles itself with ope for life. This infiiction is preventable, in cases of rheu- matism, by timely resort to Hostetter' s Stomach Bitters, which checks the en- croach ments of this obstinate and danger ous malady, at the outset. The term "dangerous'' is used advisedly, for rheumatism is always liable to attack th @ vital organs aud terminate life. No testi- mony is more conclusive and concurrent than that of physicians who testify to the excellent effect of the btters in this dis ease. Persons incura wetting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are exposed to draughts, = should use the bitters as a pre- ventative of ill effects. Malaria, dyspepsia, liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and debility are also among the ailments to which this popular medicine is adapted. Fer the inifrmities, ssoreness and stiffness nf lh. asAd ii is hiahly beneficial.

pURE ATHI,E

Through the courtesy of MT. John k. Dewberry of the University of Alabama, the AGE-HERALD has received the consti- tuition of the Southern Inter- Collegiate Athletic Association, which was formed last December. MT. Dewberry adds:
 "The Southern colleges are anxious for the people to know they want pure ath- letics, and are determined to have no other kind.' This has the ring of the true metal, and comes with good grace from student of the University of Alabama, for in all the fierce rivalry in the athletic field of the past three seasons, and amid charges and counter charges brought against other colleges, the Slate University has passed unscathed. When the young men of the Southern colleges succeed in establishing spure athletics,' entirely free from pro- fessionalism and brutality, then will their field sports be liberally sustained by the best class of citizens. The constitution adopted by the association provides against all abuses heretofore charged in football and baseball. It provides that no profess sional athlete shall take part in any contest of the association. No player shall be paid for his services. All contestants must be bona fide students of the college on whose team he plays.

WHO WAS CORRECT?
Opelika Evening News, Feb. 4.


 Time is the best witness, and when a thing is proven by time it cannot well be refuted. Newspaper readers in Alabama will readily call to mind the fact that on September 22, 1898, while the bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act was pending In congress, the Birmug ham AaE-HERALD published a communication from Capt. Joseph F. Johnston in regard to the repeal bill then pending. MT. Cleveland had urged congress to pass the repeal bill, and assured them that it would "restore confidence at home and abroad and stop the outflow of gold." In that communication Captain Johnston said: 'Those who object to the unconditional repeal of the sherman act believe if 1t should be repealed that il would be the end ot all financial legislation. They be- lieve, too, that it is the proper time now to carry out the pledges made to the people, and they have but little confidence in our eastern friends and re- publican allies on the money question. It is probable that some of our eastern friends financial demand of the Chicago platform, and at the same time repeating the Sher- man act Gin order to get that despised act repealsd), but fear, and many fear, that should we first do what they desire they will never give us any help to get what we want" Captain Johnston also argued that the president was mistaken in think ing that the legislation he asked for would bring return of confidence and prosper ity.
 For daring to give expression to these sentiments he was set upon and denounced by the Montgomery Advertiser and it's todies and all the suffers and camp follow CTS of the administration.
 The question now recurs in the light of the sale of S1OO ,0OO, GOO of bonds, of the constant depletion of the treasury gold, of the low price of all products, of the uni- versal financial distress in this country {: Was MT. Cleveland right or did Joe John ston hit the bulls eye? Have we got any other financial legislation? Do our easter a friends and republican allies stand by us now? Did MT. Cleveland save the country and the party? Or did he feel the lash of an outraged party aa on me shs oaSs or pudiated honest pledges made to the people7
 There can be but one answer, and that that Captain Johnston was right and MT. Cleveland wrong. This fact time has
