THE NEW STEEL, MILL.

It has been announced that Birming ham will make steel today. It has often been announced that Birmingham had a steel mill, but the newspapers assure us that there is TOW no doubt of sue cessful steel plant in Alabama and that it will begin to operate this week We hope that all this is true, but we doubt it. The Birmingham papers have fooled us too oftsn.--Gs dsden Times-News.
 The State Herald was informed by Mr. Bridges yesterday. who is superintend- irg the construction of the steel plant that it may be several days yet before the first run Of S eel is made. That thera are minor matters to be locked after be- fore everything will be in readiness so that when the in6ut-y t, r S ca move right along. without incurring any un- necessary expense of shutting down. In the meantime work on the second plant of equal size of the first is already in pro gress and is moving along nicely.
 MT. Bridges was asked if there was any doubt as tH the success of the plant. "I can't say @ s to that.

It is amusing sometimes to see editors attack each other on the proper use of language, when they get out of every thing else to write about. An exchange recently remarked that 1t did not wish to engage in a controversy with its con- temporary. because it did not wish to .'be accessory to the murder of the uueen's English" In another column the same writer says: "An exchange la- inents the rapidity with which fourth rate colleges IS turning out degrees and inmates" etc. Now these newspaper editors. Instead of fussng oyer feathers, had best take the old veteran editors advice to the young reporter who turned over to him his first reportorial wcrk, with the request that he see if the grammar was all rigilt.

The government and the people form partnership. The government has not been paying it's expenses recently, and now under the Dingley bill 1t proposes to make its partner dhe people, go down in his pickets and put up. This Is not good business policy. When two busi ness men are partners, and find that their expenses exceed their receipts they cut down expenses. One of them certainly does not demand that the other shall do all the putting up. But the republicans are afraid to cut off some of the offices, and hence they are forced to rob the people.

India is repeating the experiment of
half a century ago. The British, re-
CARELESS of the religious superstitions
of the people, are invading their sane
tuaries and trampllng upon their sa-
cred things in the attempt to enforce
their sanitary regulations. The re-
monstrances of the native authorities
have been pigeonholed and disregarded
until the feeling against the British oc-
cupants is most bitter. Riots are oc-
curing and while conditions render
any repetition of the mutiny of forty
years ago impossible there may be
much blood shed and no little mischief
done before the end of the trouble is
reached. A little consideration and a
little wisdom might have avoided all
the friction and at the same time car
ried out any measures of sanitary re-

ODDITIES OF ENGLISH VILLAGES.

oOOttI6S Of eNGlISH vtllAGeS.
No Two of the Towns Are Alike I'm
Any Essential Particular.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township In England is that of Skid
daw, in Cumberland. 1t contains but
one house, the occupier of which is un-
able to exercise the Briton's privilege
of voting because there is no overseer
to prepare voters list, and no church
or other place of worship or assembly
on which to publish one.
The most remote village in England is
that of Farley-cum-Pitton. This truly
rural spot is BOY miles from the near
est railway station. AS contrast to
this may be mentioned the hamlet of
Ystrad. about ten miles from Cardiff.
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
A very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley, small village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the
parish two churches are to be seen.
Service Is conducted three times a
week in each of these churches at the
same hour.
The deepest well in England is found
at Hamilton, in Hampshire. 1t stretches
$50 feet below the surface of the earth.
About halfway down this well shaft is a
subway, three miles in length. which
leads to the seacoast.
On the top. of the parish church tow
err In Bicknoller, Somersetshire, is q
yew tree, now five feet high, and still
growing in hardy fashion. tits gen.
orally believed that the tree owes its
origin to seed dropped by bird.
Perhaps the most splendidly deco
rated church in the kingdom is that OF
Whitley Court, Worcestershire. 1t is
entirely constructed of white marble
the pews are chastely carved, and the
pulpit is of genuine Carrara marble,
richly paneled with precious stones.
On the village green at Meriden In War
wickshire, there is large stone cross,
which is supposed to mark the central
point of England.-Pearson's Weekly.
