TWO-cent Fares.

Beginning with the current month f,000-niFe tickets are to be sold ait $2O good on the forty railroads of the Cen tra1 Passenger Traffic association. This refoHm has been very s1ew in coming, although freight rates have been falling many years. The system is so simple, so convenient to the passenger and so
 equitable in all expects, it's inaugurra- tion is not surprise. The wonder is tffalt 1t was not begun ten years ago.
 An unieogtn passenger rate under the 1,000-nile plan is surely close at hand, and our soutehrn roads should not be the last qo adoplt it. There can be no doubt
 that it will lead Ito irlcreased travel.
 Fuller trains mean a great deal in the passenger service, and even If the pas- senger receipts were at first slightly diminished the loss would soon be made good. This is the history of similar re- auctions on beth sides of the sea. We verify believe it would do more towards the upbuilding of the south by attracting people this way than all the efforts that have this cbjeclt in view. It is the best
 means of filling our unoccupied places and enhancing all values. Such things cannot be done without resultant profits to the railroad companies that were the means of bringing 1t about.
 We hope our railroads will see a, way of conferring upon th1s section the ad
 vanbages dn passenger rates that the central west now enjoys, and that the whole sweep of northern states will soon
 no doubt possess. Ut will pay them to
 talse good care of the states from which their business is derived.

Panics and PestiIence.

A panic invites pestilence. A person who gives himself up to frenzy of despair and fright generally falls a victim to any disease that may be rag ing at the time. The man who walks unharmed through hailstorm of bull lets on battlefield is the serene, un- daunted hero who has no selfish fears, and the person who successfully runs the gauntlet of smallpox or Yellow Jack is, nine times out of ten, some high souled, self-sacrificing citizen who for gets all about himself in his busy work for others. Cleanliness, courage and charity are the Big Three when their people are fighting pestilence But it should be remembered that courage is not foolish recl<lessness. Because a man is not himself afraid, is no reason why he should try experiments and in- vite conditions which will terrify and endanger others.

Commissioner Culver.

It is doubtful if there Is a person in Hlhe state of Alabama who will for a moment entertain the belief that Com missioner of Agriculture Culver was a party to the shortage in his office as repotted in Sundays Age Herald. Ut is unfortunate that the late chief clerk is mot alive to take his full responsibility for what appears to haIve been the real cause of the bad condition of fflc office.
 Thse who have "a personal acquaint- ance with Commissioner Culver will hardly associate his honorable uame wi th the personal blame of the irregularities, Though officially uhe will have to bear 1t. The promptness with which he made the deficit good ito the state should be uaken as ample evidence of his good in- tentions and unquestfoned integrity. That he was negligent of giving the affairs of l1is office the proper attention lBhere seems no reasonable doubt, but That he placed too much confidence in others appelars Ito have been his chief and orly ia alling, so far as the financial man Rgement of the office was concerned.

England Waking Up.

The Age-Herald predicted that at the beginning of the native uprising in h. dia that the British would find it se- rious matter, and the prediction has been sustained by the events of the past month. The British have been Kicked in every battle. and have gained only one or two unimportant skirmishes. They have lost Khyber Pass and are on the defensive.
 It is now stated that the government has sent large force of soldiers from England to India, including many bat talions of artillery. This makes it plain that the British are preparing to meet the Russians if the latter decide to take hand in the row. At last ac- counts the shifty ameer of Afghanistan was swearing allegiance to England by day and pocketing bribes from Russia by night.
 England's one chance to hold her em- pire in the east is to suppress the re- volt by speedy and bloody measures. If the rebellion drags along, the Brit ish will find $50, ,0O0,o natives, backed by Russia, arrayed against them.

necessary to rebuke President Adams, and he even threatened to call out the state militia to resist the federal troops if they attempted to prevent the state from surveying the Greek Indian lands. Fortunately. the government at Wash ington backed down.
 The present governor of Georgia makes no threats, but he has branded the pres- ident with the responsibility for the Ho- gansyiIle affair." and for all similar crimes in the south during Mckinley 's administration. It is important to make this matter well understood abroad. The president, knowing that such a policy will have a tendency to provoke race collisions in the south, seems determined to persist in the appointment of negro officials in that section.
 What is his purpose-what Is his deep and damnable design? It must be that he desries a pretext for reviving the force bill. He wants to place the south under bayonet rule. He and the north ern plutocrats at his back wish to re- tard the progress of the south, and pro- long their lease of power by building up the old sectional south-hating repubh- can party. The president is morally "an accessory to this lamentable crime" at Hogansville,

Is Entitled to It.

It must bs gratifying to the people of the south and especially to those in Bir- mingham and Alabama, that the armor plate committee of the navy department has been ordered to come south for the purpose of inspecting the situation rela- tive to the possible location of an armor plate factory in the south.
 Representatives Underwood and Wheeler. of this state and Gaines, of the Nashville, Tenn, district, have been un- tiring in their efforts and to them is due the full credit for the action of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt in ordering the com mittee to the southern states. So far every step necessary has been taken, and when the committee arrives, which will be early in November, it will be shown what the people of the south have to offer and what it has promised.
 Going upon the theory that armor plate can be made in the south of as good quality and at much less cost to the government than can be made in the north, there is mo reason why this great industry should not be located in this section. Taking these facts with others equally as convincing, there is still another reason why the armor plate factory should be located upon southern soil.
 For the past fifteen years the govern ment has spent annually many millions of dollars for the construction of a new navy and of coast defences and not a dollar for the maintenance of these branches of the government has there been expended in a single southern state. A greater portion of 1t has been spent in the state of Pennsylvania alone The armor plate for the battleships has all been made at Homestead and Beth 1ehem in that state. while great many of ths ships have been made by the Cramps, near Philadelphia. In justice to this section of the republic the gov ernment should be mindful of its inter ests and 1t would be nothing more than fair that the south be permitted to man. QldSlul 2 dL lcdSL SUIIl6 Ol IilS uidbSl ini when 1t is equally well equipped in ev- el'y particular and far in advance of any other section when 1t comes to the price of production. These are but few of ths reasons that can be assigned why the south is entitled to consideration at this time and especially upon the ques- tion of armor plate.
 The government wants to buy its ar nor plate where it can get it the chaap- est and of the best quality. There is no place in the United States where it can be made batter nor at the same cost When the committee comes south 1t can then have the opportunity of seeing for itself the truth of all the statements herein made.

Gay Petticoat Made Trouble.

From the Chicago News.
 It would take @ very remarkable man to successfully smuggle into the port Of New York two dozen golf stockings on his person. But a woman did 1t the other day-that is, almost did it, for she was detected by tl6e merest acci- dent, and by another woman.
 She was a passenger on a steamer that came into New York last week and one of the women inspectors, Miss Elizabeth Ellis, happened to run against her as she was waiting on the dock to have her baggage examined. Miss Ellis felt a lump of something and thougth she had better investigate. As a result it was discovered that the young woman was wearing petticoat made of handsome golf stockings There were two dozen of them, worth $1.5O a pair and fit must have taken a whole spool of cotton to sew them into that form, to say nothing of the work and ingenuity

The Same Old Story.

The coroner's jury at Versailles, Ind, investigated the recent lynching of five men at that place and returned a yer dict that the victims came to their death at the hands of "persons un- known" It was the same verdict at Talbottom, Ga., when Dr. Ryden was lynched. The same result will be the outcome of the attack upon the negro postmaster at Hogansville, that state. There ars between 100 and 200 lynch ings g. year in this country, north and south,- and the coroner's juries always declare under their solemn oath that the lynchers are unknown persons"
 Of course, 1t is out of order to go be- hind these verdicts. but 1t must strike

THINGS WORTH KNOWING. ws

Icebergs sometimes last 200 years be- fore they entirely melt away.
 More than 90 per cent of the railway passengers of England travel third class.
 Paving blocks made of meadow grass are now manufactured. Their inventor was clergyman, and the meadow grass impregnated with oil, tar and rosin, is pressed into blocks and finally bound with iron straps. The advantages claim ed for these blocks are that they are noiseless and elastic resist wear we'll and are imperIous to heat and cold.
 It has been calculated that a fluent speaker utters between 1000 and 7,50O words In the course of an hours unin- terrupted speech. That means about 125 words 8 minute.

A New Department.

A convention is to be held in Chicago on the third day of next June, to which every commercial and industrial associa- tion in the country is invited to send delegates. Representatives of ths Com merciaI club of this city will be expected and the business association of Tusca- loosa and all similar bodies in the state should be present through delegates The object of the convention is to pro- mote the organization by the govern ment of department of commerce and industry devoted to the mercantile and manufacturing interests of the country. Other countries have such departments, and surely the present magnitude of demands like care and attention.
 A glancs at the leading figures will suffice. We have an agricultural de- pertinent, and yet there are 8,S70.734 per- sons engaged in trade, transportation of manufacturing and mechanical indus tries, mining, quarrying and numbering, as compared with S,499,94S agricultur-
 
 ists. In 1890 our agricultural products aggregated two and half billions of dollars in value, while our manufac- tured products in that year exceeded nine billions of dollars.
 It is plain, too, that there should be such a department in order that all sta- tistlcs relating to trade and ths vari. ous industries may be consolidated and broadened. At present two bureaus, one in the state department and one in the treasury department, are engaged in gathering statistics. These bureaus should be consolidated in a new depart ment, and the state and treasury de- partments relieved of much work re- lating to commerce and industry. Both departments have become by the growth of the country unwieldy and overbur- dened.
 A bill has been introduced by Ssnator Frye, and it win be pushed at the ap- preaching long session. The June con vention in Chicago will be held just in in time to give the bill a final push one, let us hope, that will send 1t through congress and land it in the hands of the president.

A TALENTED PIANIST or FIVE.
Helen NOrheet of KearneN Mo-, Who Is Com
 poser as We'll as a Performer,
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Helen Lucille Eorieet, of Kearney, Mo, a child of years, is a musical prodigy. She has never received any musical ln- struction yet she plays the piano with the dignity and skill of a young woman, and what is still more remarkable, trans- poses readily and eomposes. Her own compositions to date include march, a
 two-step and a sonata. From morning till night, when her mother will allow hsr, little Helen sits at the piano im- provising, playing the latest popular music which she has heard or some of her old faverites. She has a repertoire of probably 100 pieces. She cannot read music and all that she performs is either original or pieked up by ear and ar.4 ranged by herself. Her chubby ntt1e hands cannot stretch an octave ana when she is seated before the piano her feet are six inches above the floor. Yet with delicate fingers she manages to ren- der complex passages with a facility that is amazing. Her liking for music dates back to the time when shs was able to reach the keyboard of the par Tor piano. She has a little sister 1 years old who sings prettily. Helen al- ways plays her accompaniments, and the two by the piano make an inter- esting picture. The child's talent will be allowed to develop in it's own way until she is older. Then, perhaps, she will be placed in charge of competent in- structors The child was in Kansas City recently and played before Signor Lfberati, the cornetist. Her father is cashier of bank in Kearney, Mo.

WHERE THE HAMMOCK SWINGS.

By Walter s. Stranahan.
 The brightest sunbeams play With ruStling leaves all day,
 Where the hammock swings. High and low, to and fro, Balmy breeZes gently blow, Rocking, rocking, sweet to sleep, Softly cradled, slumber deep. Larxs will sing a lullaby, Marble music of the sky,
 Where the hammock swings. The airy shadows dance With phantom lights that glance Where the hammock swings. High and low. to and fro, Dreamy fancie5 come and go. Rocking, rocking, sweet to sleep. Softly cradled slumber deep. Cricket chirping All is well" Watch will keep as sentinel,
 Where the hammock swings. | The snowy pigeons coo, With loving mates that woo,
 Where the hammock swings. High and low, to and fro, Happy thoughts are fondled so. Rocking, rocking, sweet to sleep, Softly cradled, slumber deep, Wind-Sent voices hull to rest. Safe as birdlings in yon nest,
 Where the hammock swings.

The Steel Abe.

'Is it not probable" asks the ever alert and far-seaing Philadelphia Record, that improved processes of direct con- version of iron ore into steel, avoiding tho intermediary form of casting into pigs, may enable manufacturers to pro- duce steel billets or ingots cheaper than they now make crude pig iron?"
 Hera is a question that fits Birming- ham as snugly and pressingly as it does Pittsburg or any other iron center. To we nave entered upon the production of steel, and that development in that di- rsction promises to be rapid. It cannot well be too rapid in view of the contin- gency mentioned by our Philadelphia contemporary.
 Steel will not, of course, wholly sup plant iron, but wtren steel Is reduced in price ito or below that of iron. the con sumption of pig iron will be largely re- duced. How soon that may take place assuming that such consummation of effort among dne steel producers is in- evitable-no one can say; but we should anticipate it's coming by all possible ex- tensions of steel production. That should be our chief ambition hereafter
 If there is anywhere 6 belief that we will be confined to the production of pig iron, that belief will soon be dissipated. We propose to be at or near the head of the procession when the hosts of steel makers are marshalled. This may seem vainglorfous just at present, for we are but recently started in the race, and we have much capital to gather and much work to do. We see, however, the situa- tion very much as the Record sees 1t, and few years of brave endeavor will put us in a commanding position in the production of steel, as well as of plain, commonplace pig iron.
