THE menb Der of the AaE- HERALD re-
 pertorial staff who wrote up the item call ing attention to the insufficency of our police force yesterday erred in saying that it is the "duty of the Police Commission to provide men, etc." The May or and Alder men fix the number, and the commission CTS elect and control them. With their limited force the commissioners do very well. The whole trouble lies in the scanty appropriation for police department, and the only remedy lies in the possibility of the calling of a constitutional convention, that the city may be empowered to increase the tax levy and thus afford protection to

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS,

MT. John H. Inman has recently in- vested g 2,000, ,000 in real estate in New York city. He is one of the best business men in the United States, and he knows that real estate IS the best of all invest ments. It is safe, sure, and affords bet ter return than any other investment. MT. Inman has looked the whole field over. He has seen that the earning power of money is constantly decreasing, that such securities as government bonds bear less and less interest, that there is danger of Congress passing free silver bill and thus further depreciating the earning power of money, and he has sought real estate as the one safe investment.
 These facts lead to the suggestion that there never was a more favorable time than the present for investing in Birmingham real estate. Such an investment is sure to increase in value, and in the meantime will afford better interest on the investment than can be obtained in any other way.

IT has been urged against the govern ment aiding in the construction of the Nicaragua canal that the government would become involved as in the transcon- tinental lines of railway. The bill guards against this by providing that the United States should own majority of the stock, besides having first lien on all the prop rrty in return for the S7O, ,0O0, ,000 of bonds to be issued for it's construction. To assure ngainst stock jobbery not a share of stock is to be issued to the other stockholders except as the company gets therefor one hundred cents on the dollar in cash.

MRS. MARION M. HoLLEY in the AGE HERALD of yesterday strikes the key note of the woman rights question. If women complain of the injustice of men in not giving them the ballot and in robbing them of other so-called rights it is the fault of the women themselves. AS mothers they have the training of boys, and in the plastic age of youth they have the oppor- tunity to insti!l in the minds of their sons the principles of justice and right. This is the field for women to work in. They will sooner accomplish their object in this manner than by lecture tours through the country and by holding conventions of woman suffragists. If they neglect their boys to run off after strange gods, they can only blame themselves if these boys grown to man 8 estate believe that woman is not entitled to higher honors and more trying duties.

CHANGES IN THE MILITIA
Arrangement Of the Companies of the
First Brigade
Position-Rumors Of q Dark Horse.
Rank and File Well Pleased

Since the Inauguration of the present adj
ninistration there have been several mate
rial changes in the affairs of the state
militia, but none of such sweeping nature
as the recent action known as general Or
der No. IS, which is as follows:
"First Brgade-The Seventh and Ninth
regiments are consolidated into three bat
talions of infantry of four companies each,
as follows: First battalion, companies A.,
B, e and E, Seventh infantry, to be known
as companies A, B, G and f, respectively,
First battalion; Second battalion, compa-
MES ID and e, Seventh infantry, and COM
panies d and L. Ninth infantry, to be
known as companies H, E, I and K, re-
spectively, Second battalion; Third bat
talon, companies f, G and G., Ninth in
fantry, to be known as companies L, M
and G, respectively, Third battalion: com.
panies A and b, Ninth infantry, are hereby
consolidated as company b, Third battal-
ion.
"Lieutepant Colonel John r. Berry,
Ninth Infantry, and Major Samuel r..
Black, Seventh Infantry, are hereby as
signed to duty with the First Battalion;
Infantry, and Major f. L. Prescott, Ninth
Infantry, are assigned to duty with the
Second Battalion; Major Charles S. Nc
Kelvey, Ninth Infantry, is assigned to duty
with the Third Battalion.
''Sec. 2. Col. FL. p. Bush, First Infantry;
Col. j. w. Guthrie, Second Infantry; Col.
j. c. O'Connor, Third Infantry; Col. ID. B.
Fairbanks, Fifth Infantry: Col. j. j.
Nunan, Sixth Infantry; Col. W. G. Schrei-
Der, Seventh Infantry; Col. Park Hensha,
Eighth Infantry, and Col. Il. B. Spileman,
Ninth Infantry, and Col. William McDon-
aid, Second Artillery, are hereby relieved
from the command of their respective
regiments and placed on waiting orders.
"Sec. 3. In companies where no con-
solicitations have been made the present
company officers remain intact. The Of
f1cers of the new companies formed by
consolidation are as follows:
First Brigade-Third battalion, Cos. A
and b to be known as Co. b. Third battal-
lion, captain, Richard V. Dodge; first lieu
tenant, Edward f. Brown: second lieuten-
ant. J. G. Mielke."
The above changes have naturally
created a great deal of talk among militia
men generally. Out of the few who were
relieved of their command the new order
il received with satisfaction. A number
of officers and privates interviewed yester-
day expressed themselves unqualifiedly
in favor of the change. Much interest
centers in the election of new colonel.
Colonel w. q. Schneider is a candidate for
his former position and is considered
favorably by most of the men of his staff.
Some mystery, however, envelopes the
situation, and numerous rumors are cir
culated to the effect that dark horse will
appear with a strong backing. All are
eager to have the matter settled.
