The legislature of Tennessee will prob
ably repeal the back tax law of that
state. But that law might be repealed,
because as has been said, it gives the
back tax attorneys about 80 per cent. and
the state 10 per cent. The tax commits
sion law of Alabama gives the state the
80 per cent. and the commissioners 10 per
cent. But with all this, as Gov. Taylor
said in his message, ''The back tax law
has served a good purpose" And truly
this seems to be So since, with larger
state debt, with more officers and higher
salaries, the tax rate in Tennessee is B
mills; while it is mills in Alabama.
The back tax law has been the law in
Tennessee for twenty years. If it has
served a good purpose and is now abused
it ought to be repealed

up before the last general conference.
and after very warm discussion was
voted down by a small majority. The
general conference then agreed to leave
the matter to the annual conferences.
Several of the conferences have already
voted. and the majority so far have gone
against woman. The eastern conferences
as a rule have voted against woman and
the western conferences in her favor.
The German conferences of the west are
solid against woman delegates. DR.. Buck
ley, 81 the New York Advocate, has led
the fight against woman. This question
has not yet come up in southern Method
ism. but it is inevitable. There are ur-
gent reasons why woman should have
voice in the law-making body of the
church. for the church owes her zeal and
devotion a debt of gratitude.

A town is what men make 1t. The
growth of town depends on the public
spirit of its citizens. 1t is gratifying to
know that public spirit is now prevalent
in Birmingham. 1t should be fostered
and encouraged. The success of recent
large enterprises has inculcat ted this spir-
it of mutual help. The cotton mill COM
rnttee, however, say that the young
men of the town have not displayed as
much public spirit as was hoped for. The
young men are splendid set of fellows,
but they have not been accustomed to
pulling together in these great matters
and they do not realize their full i'm
,,or,ance. In Atlanta there are about
twenty men Of mature years and consid-
cradle means, and when they start an
enterprise they are sure or having the
active support of the young men.

BIRMINGHAM citizen remarked after

A Birmingham citizen remarked after
reading the State Herald yesterday
morning: 1T seems to me that one set
of men do all the public-spirited work
for birmingham. I see the same set OF
names in every public enterprise.
There is truth in the remark The 400
of Birmingham's commercial circles take
the lead in every undertaking. or
course, there are a few quiet workers
who subscribe literally and whose names
do not appear often in the papers, but
it must be admitted that there are
many who do not help in these mat
ters as they should. They own proper
ty in the city. or they are in business.
and they will be benefited just as much
and probably more than the men who
do the work. yet they hold back and. ex-
pect to profit by the labor of others.
What a great city we would have if all
pulled together. And we are getting
together more and more. Every new
enterprise encourages this harmonious
spirit. The Commercial club has foster
ed this public-spirit. and the building
of the Auditorium awolke 1t to life.

The Hon. John J. Lentz, congressman from Ohio, asked a few pertinent ques- tions pertaining to the principal of bi. metallism by international agreement or permission. In his speech on the tariff, he asks:
 "How dare you legislate on the sub. jects included in this bill without the consent of foreign powers if you cannot legislate on money without their consent There is another measure we ought to have been engaged upon to-day, one that received attention from your party even long before the inauguration of another Ohio man as president. Senator Vol colt was sent to Europe to see what ar engagements could be made for an inter- national monetary conference. One would think from President McKinley's inaugural address that this measure was more important than the tariff measure. But we are told that the monetary com mission asked for by the President will not be appointed until December next not until the trusts have been satisfied, and possibly few more bond issues ar ranged with the gold syndicate.
