THEsMALL POX
Compulsory Vaccination.


To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-I note in your issue of yester-
day morning a report of the doings Of
the Council Committee on Health, and
was amazed at the ignorance displayed
about such a plain matter as that OF
seeking for authority TO carry out the
wishes of the Committee, 10 inaugu-
rate a system of compulsory vaccina-
ton; and they appointed three physi-
clans to gain the requisite authority
from the Court Now, if l am not
greatly mistaken, that would be asking
a Court to assume legislative prerOga-
tives-to do that which only a legisla-
tive body has the power to do. A Court
is a tribunal before which issues are
tried under legislative enactment, and
can only cOnstrue laws in force, and
even then the Courts construction can
be made a matter for review by the
Court of Appeals. But to make law
never. If l am wrong, l will not be Of
Tended if somebody should take the
trouble 10 set me right.
We all know how prone our Republi-
can friends are to rush into Court with
every fancied political trouble or griev-
ance, and | will call to your mind one
occasion when they much desired to
gerrymander the city in their own inter
ests, and how the Court before whom
the matter was brought ran against a
formidable obstacle, and how, in order
to get around it, declared the objection
able part in the law misprint or
typographical error, and at once, and
without much hesitation, undertook TO
change, or amend the statute, and there
by threw off the judicial ermine,' and
donned the powers Of the Legislature
Something in the nature of law in the
present case must be manufactured be-
fore satisfactory results can be expected
to follow.
However, correct or otherwise, COM
pulsory vaccination may appear, or
whether or not Council has the power to
legislate in the matter, is not the
object of this communication, but
only whether a Court could be expected
to stand beside itself and assume legis-
latiye functions. CITIZEN.

Mr. Michael F. Dwyer is losing all his
horses in selling races, and the methods
of the American stable are again round
ly abused on all sides. There is rea-
hon to believe, however, that Mr.. Dwyer
is anxious to get rid Of the string at any
price, and is quite satisfied with what
he got on Thursday for Don Alonzo.
The latter was in the veterinarians
hands before the race, and why he was
allowed to run, unless it was desirable
TO lose him, is a question which the
Britishers are asking to-day. Mr.. Dwyer
also claimed the winner Of the race,
Primrose Knight, under the rules, and
paid $500 for him.

ANNA MILLER WOOD,
of San Francisco, who has attracted so

Nat Goodwin started to-day upon
five weeks bicycle tour Of England.
Just before his departure Mr.. Goodwin
read the play, I'm Mizzouri" to William
Terrise, who decided it unsuitable for
English production. Mr.. Goodwin said:
Il have given up all hope Of acting in
London The English do not want
American acting, and it is the height
of folly to go against those wishes. Eng
land is a delightful place for Ameri-
cans TO visit and spend money, but not
to act in"
Henry E. Abbey, who sails for New
York to-day, is also inclined to the same
opinion as Goodwin. No American
manager has had such thorough eXper-
fence in London as Mr.. Abbey, and yet
he declares that although he has been
bringing attractions here for 10 years
Be is not much more than even.

pocket by my experience in London.
Miss Anderson is the only American
who made big money here.
THE FIRST SEASON
she played here she made $4,000 and I
made 10000. Jefferson and Booth did
not make big money here"
Mr.. Abbey also said he never had
such a difficult task as he had in secur-
ing passage for Sir Henry Irving and
his company to America on August 20.
Richard w. Cookers attention was
called to a recent speculation in New
York newspapers regarding the leader
ship of Tammany Hall. He said: so
far as the next election, next fall, is con-
| cerned no leadership is necessary for
Tammany to win. All that is necessary
| is to get the tickets in the hands of the
voters and Tammany will win single
handed"
Although Mr.. Dwyer expects to sail
for home about the first of August, Mr..
Croker will wait to trot Sly Wilkes at
the Dublin horse show.

HENRY MARTIN CALDWELL.

Iii the death of Dr. Caldwell Birming ham loses citizen whose name is inter woven with her every glory. In the bright days of the boom he was fore most in fostering the enterprises which gave to Birmingham the title of Magic City" In the darker period of the depression which fell upon us for time he was a bulwark, the shadow of mighty rock in dry land.
 Combining the rare qualities of enter prise, sagacity and prudence. Dr. Cald-. we'll was typical man of affairs. In the long and illustrious line of promoters who have made the new South, he stood easily at the head. His place will be hard to fill.
 His death seems a personal loss to everyman who is a true citizen of Bir- mingham. It is almost impossible to estimate the measure of the bereaye- ment which has befallen his family and circle of immediate friends.
 The busy brain and the stout heart are stilled forever. Birmingham and Alabama cannot repair the loss.

CITY SONG.

When you and love and fate grow kind, l shall not lead you to bower Where summers warm and lavish wind Strews rose leaves On each passing hour. No, we must go by train and bus Through streets that murmur day and night. Long flights of stairs will usher us Into our palace of delight. All woodland songs our ears must lack, The meadows charms in vain must woo, For in city three pair back
 My love has built nest for you. There, oak secured from duns and bores, We'll grow domestic as you wish, And buy poultry at the stores And in the market buy our fish. N Through the long days I'll read and write, And sigh that work is long to do And laugh with joy, my hearts delight To think my work is done for you. And when the winter evenings come We'll bar the door and stir the fire, And sing old songs of youth and home And m emory and the hearts desire. Secure above the city strife,
 We'll hear the rushing Fleet street tide, And flowers will bloom about my wife More fair than those that decked my bride. We shall not miss the woodland bower, The music of the woodland throng Since love will be my golden flower, And love will be your golden song

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
His Gentler Side.

His Gentler Side.
 To the Age-Herald:
 Those who knew Dr. Caldwell in bus mess way saw only one half of his true character. In business matters he was prompt strict and impartial. He had so many and such great interests depend- ent upon him that he sometimes ap- peared neglectful of the courtesies or friendship. His manner was straight forward and earnest, and he seemed dis dainful of that veneer of manner which charla tans often adopt to accomplish their ulterior designs. But to those who enjoyed his personal friendship, and who met him after the cares of business were cast aside, he was a most genial compan- ion. He appreciated an anecdote more than most men. He did many acts or kindness not known to the public. While he was sick many called to thank him Tor past favors, and his mail brought to him letters of grateful remembrance. lie often had it in his power to favor those who needed assistance, and he gladly ana cheerfully gave it. During August, 1SS6, nearly ten years ago, Birmingham had her big boom! Dr. Caldwell was then the foremost man in Alabama. It lay within his power to help or hurt thousands or people. He saw that excitement was run ming high, and that men were making in vestments they would afterward regret, and he left the city for temporary so- journ, hoping that his absence would all lay the mania for speculation.

ON LABOR UNIONS.

The position of labor in this district should be satisfactory alike to employer and empoye
 It is true there is a little trouble on between the miners and the Sloss Iron and Steel Company; but there is nothing in the situation to contradict the asser- ton that the matter in dispute will be settled to the satisfaction of all con- cerned in a short time.
 The Trades Couoncil and the Commer- cial Club are working hand in hand for the. advancement of the city, and in nearly all the plants and shops of this district organized labor is recognized and employed.
 The thought and purport of the fore going is this: Organized labor, within the proper sphere, has the sympathy and good will of the community. It is an inn portant factor in the prosperity and growth of manufacturing center; with in its ranks are generally to be found the best workmen and those animated by the highest principles, both as regards their calling and their duty towards em- ployers.
 It is a significant fact that after the turbulent times of last summer organ ized labor should. hold the place in pub lie esteem and confidence which it does today. It is indisputable evidence that the labor unions of this city preserved their integrity in a trying ordeal, and successfully withstood the onslaughts of prejudice and malice.
 Birmingham has reason to be proud ot her trade guilds.

THEADVANcE GUARD IS HERE
Prospectors From the West and Northwest Looking for Colony Locations in
 Aamama.

The tide of immigration has turned southward and this fall and winter will witness-a large influx of thrifty farmers from the northwest. Their advance guards have been coming here to inves- tigate the conditions of climate, soil, soci- ety, etc.. for weeks past and already the Age-Herald has noted the location of several colonies infthis state.
 Yesterday Birmingham had as her guests the representatives of two colonies seeking homes in the south, and after be- ing shown around the city they expressed themselves as delighted with what they saw here. But it is not the cities they arc interested in. They are here to see the farming sections and to ascertain what advantage it will be to them to locate here.
 Maj. Frank Y. Anderson had one party of seven men in charge and was showing them around. They had been along the Alabama Great Southern road as far north as Fort Payne and had spent sev- eral days conducting their investigations They came provided with instruments for testing the soil, the water, etc, and they made good use of the time they were out.
 These seven men represent 400 families of Kansas farmers, all of whom intend moving south this winter. They have agreed on tract of land on the Alabama Great Southern road, between this city and Fort Payne, and will immediately return to Kansas and make their report
 Another party represent Nebraska people who desire to remove south They went out on the Louisville and Nashville railroad towards Decatur, and will thoroughly investigate the Tennessee valley lands before going anywhere else. They are in charge of Capt. P. Sid Jones' immigration agent of the Louisville and Nashville.
 A party of fifty-three people from Ohio came south on the Queen and Cres- cent train Wednesday prospecting. They toook advantage of the homeseekers ex- cursion rates. A large party left over another Queen and Crescent train the same day, but the number has not been learned.
 It is expected that not less than 300 people will come on the next .homeseek, CTS excursion, which will be run in few days

A FAMOUS CoUPLET.
The Familiar Lines Which Have Been Att
 tributed to Martin Luther faf

The Familiar Lines Which Have Been Att
 tributed to Martin Luther. fae
 Nearly everybody is familiar in one language or another with the famous old German couplet attributed to Martin Luther, and which literally and properly translated into English is as follows:
 Who loves not wine, wife and song
 Remains a fool his whole life long.
 This supposed sentiment of the great reformer has been quoted thousands of times as his, and it's authenticity was nou questioned. But now comes very com potent authority-The Lutheran Ob- server-and stoutly insists that Luther never wrote the lines, and that, in fact, they made their first appearance mora than 200 years after his death.
 According to The Observer, in. the l777
 According to The Observer, in the year TIT a Well-known German poet, John. Henry Voss published at Hamburg small volume entitled "Musenalmanach" CTne Almanac of the Muses'O At the end or one of the poems in this book he placed the couplet in German:
 Wer nicht lebt vein, weib und gesang
 Der bleibt ein narr sein lebelang.
 To this effusion Voss affixed the name of Luther. This caused great deal of comment and excitement. Voss was candidate for the position of teacher in the Hamburg gymnasium. The Luther an pastors of the city protested against his appointment, because Luther was not the author of "the coupletn which. had been attributed to him, and because Voss had thus made Luther encourage intemperance. But in spite of all that could be done in the way of denial and explanation the lines literally ciung to the great name and refused to be sep arated, and we venture to say that com paratiyely few down to the present day ever doubted that Luther was their real author.
 As the couplet expresses the conniyai sentiments of many Germans it is proba- ble that it was a common piece of un- written German folklore even before Lu- thers time Some English writers have made the lines into a bacchanal rhyme, with a sinister meaning, but the true version, coupling "wine, wife and song, expresses the prevailing sentiment and custom among the Germans in taking their wives and children with them to the gardens and other social resorts Tor recreation and amusement.-buhalo Commercial

Who Demonetized the Cow P

MT. Edward Atkinson discusses a very absorbing question. "Who Demoneteized the Cow?" It was unquestionably owing to that early demonstration, the dire ef- fects of which ran down through the centuries and eliminated in 1873, that most of our financial ills are chargeable and not to the much denounced act of some twenty-two years ago. MT. Atkin- son says that "a COW was the unit of value in the Homeric period. A COW was current money throughout Europe, Asia, Egypt and all Africa. The OK was the highest unit; the COW was the common fstandard; the ass, the goat, and the sheep were the small change" After this uncovering of an ancient financial se- cret, Mir. Atkinson with convincing CO., gency and a sort of pitiful, fearful, ac- cent, again propounds the question, Who demonetized the cow?"
 MT. Atkinson is clear in the opinion that what the farmers ought to do is to go back to the real money of our dad dies, to the money of the ancient Greeks and Romans, to the unit of value of the men who organized society and art and industry and commerce" They knew what good money was, and the question therefore occurs, "Who demonetized the cow?' Mir Atkinson states that 'all the farmers have to do is to copy the legal methods that the silver men propose. Put

STRIKE OVER AT ENSLEY.
The Men Return at the Old Raie-The Con-

The Men Return at the Old Rate-The Con-
 victs Removed.
 The strike at the Ensley furnaces has been settled and the men have returned to work at the old rate.
 Last night, the time for the night men to begin work, the men who went out on the strike Monday were on hand and ready to go to work. The convicts were removed and they took their places as though nothing had happened.
 Half the strikers, about sixty men, work during the night, and at o'clock this morning the others who went out Monday will resume work.
 The men who struck were all eolored and do common labor around the fur naces. Since Monday their places had been filled with convicts. but as soon as the strikers signified their willingness to resume work the convicts were re- turned to the stockade at Pratt City.
