may be successfully transplanted. They
are well worth cultivating, will prove to
be ornamental to any lawn, and the foliage
is always fine for bouquets. II both the
white and pink varieties can be secured

WILL BE INTERESTING.

The annexation mass meeting at
Union Square tomorrow evening is
rather an impromptu affair. Be-
hind the demonstration primarily is
all the old enthusiasm for union
with America. There are also other
sentiments and motives underlying
the present revival. There are
thoughts and ideas, suggestions
and plans, perhaps grievances, ripe
for expression. 1t is meet that
these should be aired in the public
forum. Heretofore the only means
for communication between the
political elements here has been the
newspaper. And very often III
cases of this kind the newspaper
doesn't know its business, or being
acquainted with its duty shirks and
neglects it out of Difference to
policy" Tomorrow evening there
will be addresses from men who
have been in the front rank OF an
nexation, workers for years, men
welded to the cause, men whose
names are inseparable from the
issue. There will be speeches from
men who have heretofore helc
that annexation was toll,
and meant humiliation and ruin
There will be speeches iron
men who have favored annexation
in the abstract, but who have no
cared to share the political blanke
with the annexation leaders. Their
will be speeches from men VIII
have declared that there was IL
honesty in the annexation move
ment, that it was a cover for as
sault on the public crib. Their
will be speeches from men VIII
have favored a monarchy for tn
Islands. There will be speeche
from men who have been placed /
the position of being royalists be
cause they objected to the personn'
of the Provisional Government an
the Republic and the manner
which the downfall of royalty W;
accomplished.
1t is presumed that all these me
who have in the past dissented fro
the successful propaganda will an
algamate with all Of it or some vie
of it. To THE STAR it seems thu
one idea should be paramount. Th
is that to strengthen the Republic
the first duty ofevery citizen as we
as of every annexationist. 1t
morally certain that the presel
Government must continue fl
some time. Why not, then mai
it more agreeable to all its uni
and more fit for companionship
the Great Republic? Along the
lines the present Government is e
titled to the support of every ma
within its borders. Now, suppo
does not mean subserviency.
means proud, responsible citize
ship.
The meeting tomorrow evenir
will be different from any ever he
on the Square. 1t should pro-
interesting at least and THE Sta
trusts it will turn out prohtably al
agreeably to all concerned.

THE STRONGHOLD OF HEALTH

Is soon carried by the assaults of malaria, but if Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is em- ployed as bulwark against the disease, absolute safety is attained. The most virclent forms of disease bred by miasma, tainted air and water soon yield to the creative and cumulative influence of ttis efficient safeguard, which fortifies the sys- tenn as no other medicine up to date has ever done. It counteracts tendency to rheumatism, neuralgia and kidney com plaints, overcomes indigestion, nervous ness, constipation and liver troubles, im- proves the appetite and promotes digestion. Taking for all in all, it is probably the most useful family remedy in existence, and is popular as well as effective. Use it systematically, not at irregular intervals.

GOOD SIGN.

It is a good sign of the times that wages have an upward and not downward ten- cency.R The operators can afford to pay good wages, because the demand is in- creasing for their product. The advance in wages of the coke workers in Pennsylvania and the maintenance oi the old scale by the rolling mill men show strengthening of the iron market. Referring 10 the advance granted 10 Pennsylvania miners and coke workers the Iron Age says:
 kyen if the advance in the one case was se- cured by strike of gigantic proportions, and Tn the other case was due to special causes yet to be disclosed, nevertheless the advance thus made is very important and deeply significant fact IL is years since employees have seen their way clear to mark wages up in any branch of trade whatever. The ten dency has been downward and very strongly downward. That tendency has not only been checked, but a distinct gain has been made ln the other direction in the case of not merely handful of men, but many thousands. It may be found after due trial of the higher scheduie of wages that the advance was premature ana that the general condition of trade did not arrant il, in which reduction may again have 10 bo made. But let us hope that this will not occur.
 Another indication of improvement, although it may be regarded as Of anegative'character' is the stubborn resistence to further conces- | sions which is manifested by many manuiac- turers. It is no longer easy to induce manu- facturer to discount his bottom price The hmitof endurance has been reached, and the gradual increase in consumption forms at last basis on which to rest stand for better prices. If this is once established so that buyers are convinced of it, a general moye- ment to stock up may be expected, and the country is so bare of stocks of manufactured goods that even q moderate impulse in this direction can not fail to exert mighty inhu- ence along the whole line.

to collect testimony, with which the public is already familiar.
 "On Sunday, the day preceding the trial, !, Abe Mitchell made his first confession to Officer Armstrong and myself. This fact I communicated to the coroner Monday morning before the trial, asking him to put be Mitchell on the stand first. There Mitchell repeated the story be had the pre- vious day told Armstrong and myself.
 ''Lee Harris never made full confession when first brought forward, but did later duplicating two other parties, Stonewall Thomas and Jim Webb, aud giving full particulars Of the attempt to murder Mr. Daniels, the murder oi Mr. Thornton and of where the watch and other valuables, of which they had robbed the latter, could be found.
 ''Mr. Cole and the next day proceeded to the place designa,ed and secured the ar- ticles. We also recovered the atch, but tons and valuables belonging to Pleas Merriweather. While We were engaged in this work Officer Armstrong arrestt d Stone wall, and later in the day Officer Cole shot and captured Jim Webb.''
 CONTAMINATED BY THE JURY.
 Before adjourning the coroner's jury signed the following commendation:
 We, the coroner's jury, sworn and em- panneled to investigate the cause of the death oiPleas Merriweather, which occurred on the night of March IA, and having ren- dered our verdict feel 1t our duty 10 com mend in the highest terms the faithful services and efforts of Coroner Dusen berry, the wise counsel of Solicitor Ferguson and last, but not least, the untiring aud sys- tematic work of Sergeant J. B. Donelson and Policeman G. w. Armstrong in bring ing to justice some of the most desperate criminals that have ever infested this county. Many heinous crimes, which have grated harshly on the hearts and minds of our citizens for the past six months, and which possibly would have never been unearthed, are now brought to light and that, too, under the skillful ef- fort of these two efficient officers. Too much praise cannot be given them, and we, as all other abiding citizens, can but feel proud of them.

THE MAYOR AND BIRMlNGHAM'S s
 CREDIT.

To the Age -Herald:
 The spectacle which Birmingham 8 ssre- form" mayor is making of himself in New York city in pleading the baby act as to Birmnghan's inability to pay the interest on it's outstanding bonds is decidedly edi- flying to those who remember the ins and outs of the city's financial history of the past few years. The very arguments which his honor IS now advancing in bis vain at- tempt to get present holders to scale the rate of interest on their Birmingham bonds are the same ones which the city officials and it's legal advisers prelended to make light of four years ago, when Harris & Co. |, on the advice of their attorneys, rafused to take S200, 1000 Birmingham bonds of 1891. The main point then made was that the city did not havo sufficient leeway under it's constitutional limit of taxing power to pro- vide for current expenses, interest on pre- vious bond issues (which were prior lien) and the interest on the bonds then pro- posed. It will be remembered that the city at the time took issue with Harris & Co. $ attorneys, and that suit was brought against the purchasers for damages. That suit, however, has never been pushed, for reasons which our city's present straight ened financial circumstances make plain to all, whatever may be one's opinion of the present mayors unwilling attempts 10 blacken the city's credit and make himself the laughing stock of bankers and in- vestors generally.

OUR Avondale correspondent, "Honest Dollar" forgot to men ton one of the es- sential qualities of good money, namely, convenient size, shape and weight for handling. If a dollar is too weighty it will not circulate freely. If the iron mas- ters of the Birmingham district should pre- vail on Congress to coin iron, as the silver mine owners are trying to do in regard to silver ore, it would be found that the iron dollar would not circulate. There might be dollars worth of iron in the dollar, and it would bring dollar if put in the smelling pot, yet it would not circulate be- cause of it's size and weight.

HOW TO FIX IT,

To the Age-Herald:
 I notice froip the proceedings of the board o: mayor and aldermen, at their session held last night, that the Kettig resolution passed-that is to say, that the pay rolls of the city will hereafter be paid in city scrip. It appears also that MT. Sig Steiner of the banking house of Steiner Bros. was present and offered to take s50.0 of this scrip at 2h per cent discount, or at STE per cent of it's par value. This being the case, would it not be we'll for the mayor and aldermen of the city to contract with Steiner Bros. for the sale to them of the amount necessary 10 cover the pay rolls as they fall due-the city paying the discount, thereby making g the burden fall equally on all citizens ir- stead of compelling the employees of the city to lose the discount? j.

FEW weeks ago silver stood at 59 cents, and now it has risen to 65 cents and frac- tion. Tho probability is that it will pass 70 cents in few days. The cause of this advance is found in the proba ability of peace between China and Japan. With peace re- stored will come greater commercial activ- ity and increased need of silver to facilitate exchange. Again, it is probable that China will pay her war indemnity in silver. The action of Germany and England in favor of bimotaliism has also had it's influence in strengthening silver. The opening of spring has given R new impetus to trade and silver feels it's effects. Wheat, cotton, corn and, in fact, almost every commodity, has advanced, and silver with it.

COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.

Tomorrow the regular monthly meeting of the club will be held at the rooms of the club at 3:30 o'clock D. m. A full attend ance. .of the members is requested. An im- portant report from the man ufacturng committee will be submitted. A prelim- mary report from the special committee, on the girls industrial school will also be made, and an address to the club by Alex T. London, Esq.
 meeting of the manufacturing commit tee Is called to meet at therooms of the club this (Thursday) afternoon at 3:30 o clock. Several important matters are to be consid- cred by this committee, and full attend- ance of the members is urged.
 The board of directors of the club will meet tomorrow afternoon before tue reeu- lar meeting of the club at o'clock.
 
 Not member of the Commerciaj club of Birmingham but what should feel greater pride In the club than ever before. It has again shown it's usefulness through the meeting of the Alabama Commercial asso- citation, which met in this city day before yesterday.
 The state was at sea regarding an exhibit at Atlanta. No one section seemed to know just what to do about it, when tho Com mercial club requested a meeting of the Slate Commercial association as the only agency that could reach the entire state and secure united action.
 The meeting of that body has now passed into history, but it's results will long be felt on the destiny of this great state. There will be less of sectional jealousies and more disposition to pull together on questions of public interest than ever be- fore.
 All this is directly due to the influence of the Commercial club of Birmingham. This is said from DO desire to undervaIue the in- huence of other commercial bodies in the state, but rather for the benefit of some members of our own club who seemingly do not appreciate it's labors. Its power and influence is very far-reaching, and every citizen of Birmingham should feel just pride in the work it has done for Birming- ham and for Alabama.
 Conditions are getting better, business is undoubtedly improving, and with a good, strong club, there is simply no estimating its value to this city. 1t7' The session of the Alabama Commercial association was marked throughout with business, for very few similar bodies ever transacted more business in the same length of time.

THE wage-earner is in better condition now than in 1873. He can buy more of the necessaries of life now for a dollar than he could then. While commodities have de- clined, wages have not declined in the same proportion. Labor today is getting more of the product, and capital less, than in 1873. The profits to capital have dimin- ished on account of lessened demand and increased competition. The profits to la- Dor have increased because of greater pro- duction.
