The INDUCTION undoubtedly constitutes
one of the most elastic principles of law
in existence. The case of the western man,
who employed il to prevent his wife from
taking trip to California, is equalled if
not surpassed in originality by the appli-
eaton of a 19-year-old Reading, (PaJ girl
to the courts for an injunction to pre-
vent her parents from interfering with
her marriage to the man of her choice
The court has granted a citation requir-
ing the parents to appear and show cause
why such an injunction should not be
granted. Indeed the injunction promises
to afford dissatisfied households a more
satisfactory remedy, perhaps, than the di-
vorce court. We may hear next of wives
having husbands enjoined from going to
the club, and husbands having wives en-
joined from running up bills at the MILL
ner's. And why should not the 6-year-old
have his parent enjoined from using the
slipper or the rod? The extension of this
injunction business promises to interfere
seriously with the proper workings of the
courts.

NeWspapers in Schools.

In Kansas City newspapers are to be
used as text books in the public schools.
The idea is to interest the pupils i'm cur
rent events, and in order to do this they
Will be required to read selected articles
IN certain class of newspapers.
1t is not likely that yellow journalism
will furnish these text books, and there
are many difficulties in the way of the
experiment. Newspapers, as rule, are
published for grown people, ami even the
best of them occasionally contain items
which it would be better to keep from
the eyes of children.
Families should settle the newspapers
and book question The teachers may
advise as to a course of reading, but
the parents should decide in particular
cases. Fathers and mothers may be
trusted in the selection of reading mat
ter for their children The trouble Is
that some of them are careless, and are
willing to have the young llcs read any,
thing or nothing.

OverWorked Governors.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times Union
says of THE pardoning evil:
It has come about that the governor
in many OF our American states has be-
come the final court of appeal in GRIM
inal cases. Appeals to the governor
have come to mean a trial in which the
criminal only is represented. The re-
suit is an incrdinate, ine0crusable num-
Der of pardons by governors. The gov
ernor of one of the western states has
granted during his two years and a half
of office 675 pandons. That Is to- say,
during his brief term of office he has
overuuNed the courts 675 times-nearly
twice a day.
In MANY states the people want a very
superior man for their governor, and
they pay him the salary of a clerk. They
expect the governor to take care of the
tons, entertain distinguished visitors,
travel about and deliver addresses and
be both ornamental and useful.
In addition to all These things the gov
women pleading for their husbands and
sons, children asking clemency for their
fathers, and lawyers working for the
release of their clients. Governors are
men with the feelings of ordinary men,
and it is quite trial for them to stand
this constant siege. It Is enough to
break Them down and they should be re-
relieved from this strain.
Every state should have a board Of
pardons. A governor has enough to do
without giving UP his time to this busi-
ness, and his small SALARY does not COM
pens'ate him for the wear and tear Of
his nerves.

gentine Republic Belgium, France and
the West Indies. Surely a trade of
such dimensions should be represented at
Paris. p Oh pine, as our lumber is
called across the seas. is growing in IA
yor in the European markets, and is
now used instead of other woods for

city should secure room at Paris for an
appropriate display.
The interests of the mineral district are
Birmingham's interest. Our customers
will be at Parasitic buyers of iron and
steel and manufactured goods, and the
people of Mexico and the West Indies
who want coal will also be there; and 1t
naturally follows that samples of our
great products should be there also.
The Commercial club seems to be the
best fundamentally in this case, and we
again urge that action be had before 1t
becomes difficult to secure space for
heavy and bulky articles.

Birminqham at Paris.

Maj. Moses P. Handy. commissioner,
has, by vigorous kicking, succeeded in
securing space in the Paris exposition Of
1900 equal to that accorded to other great
nations. He has secured an additional
rs per cent, and the indications are that
every foot of it will be needed.
The Age-Herah has once before spoken
of the Importance of having our iron
and steel and coal and timber repre-
scented in the coming exposition; and 1t
is hoped steps will fbe taken to secure
the requisite space in the space now at
Maj. Handy's disposal. As state action
is probably beyond reach, the cities of
the state will be forced to act. or rather
enterprising citizens in our cities.

gagged to exhibit the products of our for

SCHOOL QUESTION:.

That our public school laws are de-
ficient and inefficient DIS fact that the
writer has frequently declared through
the press of Alabama. That we have
legal qualifications that do not qualify
is a fact that cannot be denied. AS the
first one to show up some of these de-
fscts; to point out some of the needs
of a change in our educational system.
The writer feels that his course has been
fully indicated by the questions which
have arisen in the Birmingham public
schools. n truth and in a strict sense
of the word, we have no public school
system throughout the state.
1t is only partially so. In some dis
tricts we have three months school,
where no charge is made. but the larger
portions of our schools are only par
TALLY public In many cases the public
fund is not enough to maintain a school
for but a few weeks, and If the people
of these communities depended on edu-
eating their children from this fund
they would get no education.
But the people of these PLACES knowing,
the inability of the state to give them
absolutely free education, have with
noble and generous hearts helped to keep
up the schools. In some casss this has
been done by farmers, who do not have
over $75 or $10O during the entire year,
yet with raising 5 cent cotton they have
set a noble example to those who have
many times this amount during the year.
1t Is. true that in a sense our constitu-
ton has provisions for the establishing
and maintaining public schools But
this same constitution which declares
that Alabama shall maintain these
schools, places restrictions, which makes
it difficult to do.
1t has been urged time and again that
a constitutional convention be hsld for
the purpose of removing and remedy.ng
the defects which have been a barrier to
our progress in bsttering our public
school system. Since 1880, with an at
tendance averaging eighty days per year
we have refrigerated to- seventy-three
days in 1895 and 1896. We are the only
state in the union that has absolutely
no entire public schools throughout the
stats.
There are deficiencies and barriers to
any great Improvement both in our
school laws and our constitution. We
are bereft of suffici mt revenue and with
tHS ehpatSo III our coHStltutloH, II Is u
hard matter to get more money. So
with the Birmingham question in view
let our watchword and cry be a nsiw
constitution.
While the school question in Birming-
ham has brought to light many PROPOSE
tons which are inexpedient. Let every
one interested In good schools. In the
youth of the city, work with vim and
energy to upbuild and strengthen the
schools. EDWARD L. PATTON.

Are They Democrats I?

MIR. William e. Curtis, In a recent New
York letter, says that "Bourke Cochran
and Charles A. Dana are said to be the
only democrat of prominence who are
supporting the republican candidates for
city offices. Mr.. Dana is very i'll, and
his friends fear he may not recover"
There is some excuse for Mr.. Dana $
conduct. AN old man, in bad health,
and republican nearly all his life, he
was never much of democrat. Van
Wyck does not need the support of par
tisans like Dana and Cochran The
formers Endorsement, especially, would
have driven off many voters.

tfon. 1t would be folly to split into
Factions CT organize one or more new
parties because there is a differenLee of
opinion over certain issues. Let thoze
questions be discussed inside of The
party, but let every democrat hold MIN
self always in readiness to be governed
by the authoritative utterances of the
party.
We must have no more of the spirit
which led certain men last year to say
that they would not support the nomi-
nees If their views did not suit them.
Such a spirit is fatal. It is not imdepen-
dence; it is rebellion. Party unity must
t9 maintained, and there can be NO
unity without discipline. IF some men
would push their personal ambition be-
hind them there would he more har-
mony in the parity, and If they are not
willing to do this the party should sheIve
them fer a time.
In cleaning the decks for the coming
campaign let us avoid criticism and re-
crimiraticn. If democrats are ready to
act with their party in future, draw the
ven over their erratic. behavior in the
past. 1t can do no good to condemn
them now for what they would gladly
forget and undo If they could.

The Amor Plate Committee.

The armor plate committee of the
United States naval department will
reach Birmingham tonight. Tomorrow
Birmingham's facilities for making steel
will be exhibited to them. They Will
be the judges as to whether an armor
plate plant can be erected here, which
might make armor plate for American
naval vessels cheaper than at any other
point in America.
Both iron and steel are made in Biz
point on the globe. Only last week an
expert iron and steel maker from Ger
many was hers. He pronounced 1t q
fact that Birmingham will produce both
pig iron and steel cheaper than any point
in Germany Or any point in this country
The quality of steel made here Is similar
to that converted into armor plate by
the great Carnegie works of Bethlehem
and the Illinois Steel works at Chicago;
while the STEEL itself is made here for
one-third less than at either OF the
above points. Transportation to the
seaboard from Birmingham Is one-third
less. Consequently 1t would seem a
settled fact that armor plate can be
made here at a price evun below the
5000 ton limit fixsd by the government.
In Germany armor plate is made by
private concerns and sold to the gov
eminent for $3.50 a ton. 1t stands to
reason that this figure can be reduced in
Birmingham.
However, no armor plate factory will
be constructed by the government until
congress passes upon it. Congress may
or may not decide that the government
shall build it's own factory. If 1t dos
and if the armor plate board sees Biz
mingham as others have seen lit, Biz
minghaan will probably get the plant

congress will do. Only the future can

Democrats M0vinu,

After an, the general interest In the
Greater New York campaign may have
a good effect all over the country. Dem
ocrats who were at first lethargic and
indifferent are now waking UP to the
Importance of the contest. They are be-
coming more conservative and they rec
ognize the necessity of party harmony
and discipline. Some of them have a
high regard for Henry George, but they
admit that it would be bad policy to
elect theoafst and a man Of no execu-
tive ability. They see that Tammany,
despite the abuse heaped upon 1t, has
nominated am able man, a genuine dem
ocrat, with a clean record. The election
Of such al man would strengthen democ-
racy everywhere.
1t would inspire hope and confidence.
The last national campaign and its dis
sentions Is far enough In the past for
some of its unpleasant features to be
forgotten. ut is good time to bury past
differences of opinion and say nothing
about them. No good can result from
fighting the old battles over again In a
municipal contest Let the past go as
matter of ancient history.

and organized effort the democratip

The Steel Aqe.

ter The struggle, quickly won on the
great seas, was transferred to the Erie
canal, and steel has won in both places
No more boats of wood will be placed
on the lakes, and the superior economy
of steel canal boats is conceded.
Stael is coming into use on the rivers
also. The new barge line between st.
Louis and New Orleans. for the trans
portation of grain, consists of steel
boats, each one of which win carry 500
tons. and yet draw but is inches OF
water. The wooden barges formerly
used drew 5 feet. The difference in the
dry season of the year is very important.
1t really gives st. Louis navigation all
the year. Ut also gives st. Louis rate
to the seaboard that will not, 1t is said,
exceed 8 cents a bushel. st. Louis can
consider with complacency railroad COM
binations when she can place her grain
and other heavy products alongside
ocean-going vessels at such rate.
Steel has solved her transportation
problems.
Steel is Birmingham hope in more
ways than one. We will make the steel
needed in the construction of boats, and
steel canal boats in the Warrior canal
will solve all our transportation difficult
ties. Steel and the Warrior canal must
necessarily become the basis of Bir-
mingham's growth and prosperity. We
must have both.

If it had not been for the republican
policy for years advocated by the Balti-
more Sun the state of Maryland would
have been carried by the demacrats in
1895. The present proprietor of that pa
per has never voted for "a democrat and
boasts of it, yet he attempts to make
the public believe that the paper, which
his father built up and the son inherited,
is the true exponent OF pure democracy.
1t has never missed an opportunity to
lie hike a coward upon Senator German,
and all the democrats of the state who
were the friends of the senator. Sena-
tor German is a democrat, and mot a
political hanlot. He is am honest, hon-
orable man and one who has rendered
the democratic party superb service. He
is not traitor nor boltar. Those who
claim to be democrats and abuse Sena-
tor German are Not fit to touch the
hem of his coat. Senator German will
be his own successor and that will be
