The Revenue Laws.

The legislature left the revenue laws
untouched. The governor, in his in
augural message, recommended a
thorough revision of the revenue laws.
In referring to the subject he stated:
1T seems imperative that some action
should be taken by the legislature pro-
viding better method of levying and
collecting the revenues necessary for
the proper conduct of the govern
mental affairs of the state" Early in
the session bill covering the ground
was introduced in the bouse by Repre-
sentative Pollard of Cass county. This
bill was rejected by the house com
mittee and a substitute reported which.
however, included all the main fea-
lures OF the Pollard bill. This substi-
tute was the subject of protracted dis
cussion in the house, and it was finally
indefiditely postponed on the ground
that the legislature had not the time
to consider the subject as carefully as
its importance demanded. The house,
however, failed to take up the bill at
all until late in the session.

Merit Wins.

The invention of Alabastine marked
new era In wall coatings. and from
the standpoint of the building owner
was a most important discovery. IL
has from a small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world. The name "kalsomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalso-
mine preparations are now calling
them by some other name. and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits of the durable
Alabastine are so thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance of spoil
ing their walls for possible saving OF
at the most but a few cents. Thus it
is again demonstrated that merit wins.
and that manufacturers Of first-class
articles will be supported by the
people.

Defining Judgments.

Among the laws of an amendatory
character passed by the late legisla-
lure the most notable one was the bill
to abolish deficiency judgments. This
law became operative by constitu-
tional limitations without the sigma
ture of the governor. The attorney
generals Office gave to the governor
written opinion in which the view was
entertained that the law as enacted
did not preclude the mortgagee from
going into court and securing judg-
ment for the deficiency. A bill to eX-
tend the time of redemption of real
estate sold under mortgage foreclosure
failed to receive the assent of the SEN
ate. 1t was passed through the house
under party pressure bat was smoth-
cred in the Judiciary committee of the
senate,

[TO BE Continued
A Nebraska Mans Mission.

Washington special Judge Strobe
was waited upon today by the police
department of Washington with a
request for information regarding
the whereabouts of Sam Long of
South Bend. Neb. Inquiry came
from the chief of police of
Manchester. n. II. Mr.. Long. who
was prominent contractor and bridge
builder in Nebraska, has been spending
the winter in Boston. He went several
months ago to New England on ac-
count of the death of his father and
lived afterwards with his sister. Since
the Goth of March no trace of his
whereabouts has been found. 1t was
ascertained that he had written to a
Nebraska congressman with reference
to the inauguration proceedings. which
he expected to attend, and the police
department came to Judge Strobe in
the hope of securing information which
would tend to locate the man. Judge
Strobe said that last February Mr..
Long. whom he knew well, wrote to
him from Boston asking him to secure
a ticket for a seat in the senate gallery
on March 4. The judge replied. stat
ing that it would be impossible to
secure this accommodation for him,
but offered to place him on one of the
stands of the avenue and on the plat
form at the capitol, where he could
sec the taking of the oath. Since that
time the judge has heard nothing Of
Mr.. Long and was unable to give addi-
tional information. At the time of his
disappearance it was said that Mr..
Long had a large amount of money in
his possession and fears We're eX-
pressed that he has met with foul play.

THE SELMA BANK FAILURE.
WCE PRESIDEN WILKINS KILLED
HIMSELF YES rERDAY.
The Curious Cashing of Returned
Bile Of Exchange--New York
Connections.

New York, Dec 31.-The Evening Post
to-day says:
Some very unpleasant stories were in
circulation this morning in connection
with the failure of the Commercial bank
of Selma, Aha, which was announced
yesterday. These rumors included talk
of tlhe existence of some fraudulent or
forged paper which 1t was said had been
put ont by the bank. So far as can be
ascer4 9ine1 to-day, however, the only
basis or ibis report was the sale by the
vice-rtpsi nt of the bank, Geo. Wilkins,
TO a a u foreign bankers in this city
of Il tiaT 80 B&ahsmaras equivalent 90
about SI6,OUU which was subsequently,
returned unpaid from Germany. The
draft bore the endorsement, of course, Of
the Selma bank and when it was returned
unpaid, the foreign bankers it is said,
obtained security for the payment OF the
draft, but what explanation was given
for the drawing and sale Of an unauthor-
lied draft is not known.
Vice-president wilkins sold the draft
when he was Just passing through
town"
"It was said to-day that the total a.
mount in seven or eight banks in this
city by the Commercial bank of Selma,
Ala, is in excess OF 100000, or $780,
900 more than the amount stated in yes
terlay's Post and that the total amount
owing by the bank for borrowed money
in this city, Louisville, Cincinnati and
Chicago is about $S00,000. The largest
creditor in this city is the National City
bank, the amount owing to it exceeding
100000. An the banks hold collateral
for their loans, but they are considered
Of rather doubtful value under the con-
stitutiOnal law of Alabama which makes
depositors Of a bank preferred creditors.
All the banks in this city to whom money
is owing by the Selma bank have been
fully aware Of it's condition for the last
two or three months and have had joint
agent in Selma looking after their in
terests. One or two Of the banks, how
ever broke their agreement and preci-
pitated the failure.
Wilkins was treasurer Of the Episcopal
Diocease Of Alabama and a devoted
church member. In his distress he sought
refuge in his church, where he remained
all night and on the appearance Of
searching friends at the church door this
morning he fired the bullet into his brain.
His accounts with the bank are thought
to be all right and distress at the failure
is ascribed as the cause of his self-de-
struction.
