BLACK BELT EXPOSURES.

The New York Tribune of the 30th ultimo selects the above heading as text for an editorial on Alabama politics. The Fri bune denies that it sent it's correspondent, MT. Ford, to Alabama to write up elec- tion methods in this State because of it's spartisan attitude" toward the South.
 The Tribune also denies that It is atlan- doning the negro's cause. This denial was brought out by the point made by the AGE HERALD at the time MT. Ford's letters were published. The AGE- HERALD quoted an editorial expression from the Tribune before MT. Ford came Sonth, 10 tho effect that 'tthe negro was no longer factor in politics ' And the Tribune in it's editorial comments on MT. Ford's letters main- tained the same position, and gave as an excuse for publishing those letters that the political fight in Alabama sas a white mans fight. In this last editorial the Tribune is somewhat contradictory on this point. It says Git is not true that it is abandoning the negro's cause." This must be very gratifying to the negroes, for the Tribune has been in times past their most jealous and pugnacious champion. Yet the Tribune goes on to say: "When the negro. neither
 
 when ballot boxes are stuffed in the Black Belt so much as the whites of the South and of the whole country. That is the point which we have been seeking to im- press upon Southern Democrats-that in Alabama and other States where there have been serious defections in their ranks it is a white man. fight, and that the election 7sturns bear prima facie evidence that the faction in control of the ballot boxes Is registering, casting and counting the votes of negroes who neither register nor vote. It is the white man who is cheated rather than the negro.'
 This admission of the Tribune that the white man is cheated rather than the ne- gro is very pleasant to hear. It indicates that the negro has now reached the point in intelligence where he can cheat the white man.
 The Tribune closes it's editorial by calling on the Alabama Legislature to pass con- test law, and also another law reforming the present system of elections. It says ''a Governor of Alabama has been inaug- urated by force.' It closes by saying "if the Legislature neglecls to pass these re- form measures, clearly it will be the duty of the next Congress to send an investi- gating committee to the Black Belt and turn on the light.'
 The Tribune lays stress on the enactment of a law reforming the present system of elections. The most intelligent men in Alabama agree that the Legislature cannot frame law which will remedy the abuses complained of-the remedy must be incor. porated in the organic law.
 Does the Tribune favor a new constitu- tion for Ala bama? Its expression will, be awaited with great interest in Alabama. It has entered the field of Alabama politics and should express itself fully and freely.

THE Northern papers contain dreadful accounts of accidents from coastng. City boys will coast down steep street and get caught under the wheels of the electric car. This is one form of accident from which the South is free-perhaps due to the fact that Southern people don t coast. A school boy once gave similar reason for sem tence in his composition on pins. "Pins have saved the lives of many people," he wrote. '.Why sop asked the teacher. "Because they didn't swallow them," he replied.

NO EXPERT TONIGHT

The Finance Commissioners will meet
this evening 1t is probable that all the
members will be present 1t is said upon
excellent authority that the water ex-
pert will not be appointed. There is a
division of opinions on who should be
chosen to perform the duties that will
fall upon the expert finally seeded upon.
1t is said that President Jones and Com
view. Commissioners Simpson and Det-
willer have a candidate of their own,
and Commissioner Bailey has a candi-
date 1t is probable that an agreement
would have been arrived at so that the
question could have been disposed of
at tonights meeting had the Commits
sioners been able to have conferred. They
have all been out of town and have not
talked the matter over since the last
meeting of the board.
Mayor Wanser declines to discuss the
situation, but it is rumored that he is
firing of the delay in the Finance
Board. He wants the question settled
one way or another at once. A feature
of the whole proceeding that has been
lost sight of by many is that Mayor
Wanser has the last say about an ex-
pert.
His employment necessitates an ex-
penditure of money and the resolution
appointing an expert and fixing his sal
airy will have to be approved by the
Mayor Should the Mayor, for any rea-
son, decline to approve such resolutions,
the situation would become more inter-
esting than ever.
1t would remain then for the Finance
Commissioners to concur or non-concur
in the awards now before them. The
Mayor will not, it is said, do anything
that will cause any more delay. He
wants the question dealt with In bust
ness like manner and disposed of SO
that property owners will be perfectly
satisfied.
Water is in sight. Passaic, it is not
likely, will be dished up for consump
tion next summer.

MORE LUXURY FOR SENATORS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. 1S95.-There
will be some very considerable improve
ments in the arrangement of the rooms
at the Senate wing of the Capitol when
Congress reassembes. among them the
removal of the Senate postoffice from its
inappropriate location in one of the cor
ridors on the ground floor to the large
room heretofore occupied by the Com
mittee on Patents. The new location for
the postoffice, adjoining the eastern en-
trance to the Senate wing, is particularly
well chosen. because of it's commodious-
ness and convenience of access. BY this
change the large corridor will be cleared
of obstruction, and the ventilation OF
that part of the building will be inn
proved, as fresh air from outside can al
then be admitted to building through the
windows, which have hitherto been
closed
This is in accordance with the recon-
mendations made by the scientific expert
who spent some time investigating the
possibilities of improving the ventilation
of the Capitol building.
