It takes nerve to face an enraged bull ard Haunt in his face the color that he hates. It is foolish and reckless thing for any man to do, but thousands upon thousands of men and women are daily facing a peril before which the bull fighters danger fades into insignihcance. The bull fighter is armed, trained, and fully prepared for his battle. The thousands who stand face to face with that dread and insidious foe, consumption, are but lilly equipped for the struggle. The man or woman who would successfully with consumption needs to have arteries bound. ing with the rich, red, life giving blood of health. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is without an equal as blood maker and flesh ouilder. It cleanses and strengthens the lungs and cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption.
 Miss Lucy Kloefier, of Armada, Mich. writes: "When was about eight years of age had in- fanmation of the lungs, and from that time up was sick nearly all the time and had doctor nearly all the time. Iwouid take ccld so easilyit would go right to my lungs. At the age of nine teen was very bad; there was pain in my lungs tickling in my throat aud my throat was studded with ulcers; there was hoarseness and partial sup pression of voice, and difficulty of breathing. I doctored with one of our best physicians and he said he could not help me and just prescribed cod liver oil and told my mother could not live longer than three months kept getting weaker every day, when at last friend asked me why did not thought there was no use. more help for me as consumption was in our family. My father and also my sister died with it; but efer taking the first bottle seemed to feel better My appetite bottle of the Pellets once in while, until felt real well.

matters because the university was en- dangered by the peculiar policy and prac- tice of men in authority under them. If they would only speak out, it is likely that they could tell a tale that would justify their interference in the first instance. Everybody knows how easy 1t is to keep on interfering when 1t is once begun This thing and that need ed attention and the board stepped in ard took hold. By and by it happened that they. had taken hold of nearly ev- erything. It is very difficult to let go. Which shall they let go first? Shall they let go one thing at 8 time or just say to chosen man, Here, take this institution and run it?" Persons who are used to execute work know how eXceed- irgly difficult 1t is to regain lost ground. A little patience is needed when we think of this whole development and condi- ten.
 It has been charged that they have been too much of close corporation. Men in the state who were entitled to great consideration have never felt that they could approach the board and talk freely with them about matters educa- tional. Their meetings a Tuscaloosa have been conducted in the most secret fashion. To a thinking man this state of affairs has arisen from the nature of the business often in hand. It is un- doubtedly proper that they should keep certain matters to themselves. It would be difficult tO understand why they should talk aloud about the affairs of the chemistry or Greek or Latin or Eng fish or moral philosophy professor. But this is no reason why they should net win the confidence and respect of the leading men of the whole state, old and young, by listening to their criticisms and sug- gestions. They have treated every critic as if he were an enemy to the university. But it is quite natural for a man whose face is stung with hornets till it is all out Of proportion to regain with suspicion every honey-bee who comes his way! Patience
 The trustees are now anxious about the condition of the university It is alarmingly low. There is no doubt about it. thousand witnesses can be had to testify Gin secreD as to it's c5rdltions The legislative committee last winter took symptoms, and recorded them, suf- fcient to make a dia agnosis. If that evidence were digested- it would be found to reveal the fact thatIthe threet esSen- tial elements of the university's life are ulty ard the students are not, working together harmoniously. For reasons best known to the nselves the trustees never gave President Jones, for exam pie, power enough to show whether he could run the university. On the other hand the faculty fails to win the conf dence of the students and trustees. committee of the students waits upon the board and asks the removal of three or four of the faculty. Back of this in- teresting condition is the great public of Alabama, distrustful sick, disgusted. Will the trustees put a man at the head who can harmordze all these.

THE UNIVERSITY AGAIN.
To the State Herald.

To the State Herald.
 Undoubtedly the trustees of the uni- versity have been greatly misunder stood and misrepresented all over the state. As has been pointed out, they no doubt have made some grave mis- takes. It would be singular if they had not done so. That certain persons in the board have secured the appointment of men to different positions in connec- ton with the university to suit their own personal, political and other ambitions, is very generally believed. It is difficult to see why some appointments have been made unless something of this sort has been done. But is it necessary to charge the whole board with such diabofical work and such unprincipled handling of a great trust? Why. certainly not!
 They have been charged. perhaps somewhat justly-with interfering too much in the details of administrations But has any one ever stopped to inquire how they fell into this bad habit? It is believed by some who are well in- formed that in the distant past the board was compelled to interfere in rartadn

THE NATURE OF THE BRUTE

The Demopois paper tells of an ac- cident near that town. A farmer and his wife were driving in their buggy to see a neighbor. They drove two mules to the buggy. Tn crossing a bridge, the mules became scared when about half way across and began backing. The farmer and his wife jumped out. The mules backed the buggy off and fell with it. The distance to the ground was twenty feet The buggy was smashed to pieces, but the mules didn't receive a scratch.
 This paragraph has familiar air We have read before of mules acting in a similar manner Strange to say, the mule never gets hurt in all his scrapes. A superhuman power seems to protect him. Probably the mule is thus pro- tected because he is not morally to blame He seems to be the instrument of higher, or lower power His look of innocence proves as much After look as innocent as lamb. He seems to say, q didn't want to do it. but couldn't help it." He is the victim of total depravity He has much of the human in him, being compounded of the angelic and the devilish. He is a good deal of musician. having deep bass voice and a fine ear for music. But ed for, as musicians seem imbued with the spirit of harmony and church choirs have never been known to fall out.

Rest After Glory.

Out of the great mass of American news
three whose utterances concerning the
President can be considered as inspired.
From one of these Journals we are per-
mitted to gather tatements and predic-
tions that carry conviction, because they
are in close agreement with what is known
of the character of their great subject.
Therefore, on the strength of the au-
thority mentioned, soIidified by the eternal
probabilities, it may be said that tie chief
down and almost crushed with the weight
of that tired feeling coincidently and SYM
pathetically shared by his FELLOW country
men. He has folded. docketed, rubber
strapped and pigeon holed all his political
purposes. hopes, ambitions, and ideas sent
them on to Princeton with the remainder
OF the furniture, and now all he wants is
TO get over that ride to the Capitol with
his successor as quickly as possible, and
nation. In short, he is without any active
idea, except a longing for retirement and
rest If he feels that he deserves better
of his country than to have been hampered
and interfered with by the Congress in his
efforts TO bestow upon it the full blessings
OF personal government, he is too weary to
mention the fact He is like a big, inno-
cent child after a day Of hard playing and
fighting, who has filled himself with good
things and wants to go tc sleep.
In a somnolent way he hopes that the
Democratic party may do the proper thing
and resign in favor of the boiting gold
bugs, but he does not expect to DO any
| hing TO that end himself. His forte is
the administration OF object lessons, but
his power in that direction will pass to
Mckinley. The inspired authority remarks
that "he believes however, that the silver
heresy VIII soon pass away, and that the
onthc oldI!nes of revenue and expenditure ="
We are so seldom able to agree with Mr..
| Cleveland III anything that we take plea sure
| in indorsing this view. that is, if we cor
IectIy understand the position attributed
to him In speaking of 1.-The party" natur
ally he has only the gold party in mind,
because for him none other exists. We
| feel quite confident that the future cam
| paigns OF that party will be conducted OF
the old lines of as much revenue as pGssibl,
trusts, and upon the expenditure OF the
same for education and votes.

Referring 10 Justice Supplies letter in
this mornings Times, in which he claims
that his action in sentencing vagrant to
sixty days close confinement on bread and
water was compulsory, and, in support OF
that claim, quotes sections SS4 and SS5 Of
the Virginia Code, it is worthy of notice
that section $50 provides that the justice
s.shall dispose of him tthe vagrant as
hercinlefore prescribed or may at once
sentence him, etc, as was done in the case
now referred to.
Justice Supplee oinits to quote or cite
such section or sections of the Code as
would throw light on the meaning of the
words in section $50, las hereinbefore pre-
scribed or These words plainly imply
some discretionary power on the part Of
the committing ma agistrate. especially the
word ''or.'
According to the Alexandria correspond
ent of The Times, whose letter appeared
in yesterday mornings issue, the extreme
penalty in such cases is to be imposed only
after the prisoner has refused to work when
ordered to do so by the proper authority.
Justice Supplee does not allege either
that the prisoner was ordered to work oI
that he refused to do so, and unless he the

Balfour Declined to Comply with
the Request of Harcourt.

London, Feb. 23.-In the House of Com
mons today, Right Hon. George N Cur
zon, parliamentary secretary to the for
eign office, said, in reply TO an inquiry
upon the subject, that the signal for the
bomabrdment of the insurgents position
at Canea was given by Admiral Canevaro,
OF the Italian navy, as commander OF the
the united fleets, by rea son OF seniority.
Right Hon. "A. j, Balfour, first lord of
the treasury, replying to the request made
yesterday by Sir William Harcuurt, that
the instructions given to the British adj
niral at Canea be laid before the house,
said that he was compelled to decline to
comply with the demand, as it would be
impUiitic to do so.
Mr.. James F. Hogan, anti-P arnellite
member for mid Tipperary, asked if it
was the intention of the government to
hold an imperial conference while the
Colonial premiers We're visiting London
upon the occasion OF the queens Jubilee
in June.
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary OF state for the colonies answered
that it was not intended to hold any i'm
perial conference. but If the colonial pre-
miers came to London in accordance with
their acceptation of the invitation which
had been extended to them, the govern
nieBt would discuss any matters of common
interest which the colonial visitors might
bring up.
