WIZ History Repeat Itself.

The bowling to the civil service rules by
President Mckinley will place tho head
Of the nation in 1898 in the sad predica-
Ment Of placing both branches of Congress
In tho hands Of the Democrats. 1t will
be utterly impossible for the Republican
party to win in tho States where civil SER
vice Is made the issue. Tho Republican
party, If 1t follows out the ideas Of the
President on this question, will surely
pave the way for Democratic President
In 1900. The people arc more numerous
than the office holders. Tho government
Ia supposed to be for the people, not privi-
legged class. The civil service rules are
building up monarchial form Of govern
Ment, which is detrimental to the building
up Of any party that breaches it to the
people. The very papers which are patting
President Mckinley on the back, will be.
fore two more years. be the very ones who
will be making the most terrific slaughter
upon him, and then blame it on the tariff
policy, when in reality his civil service
views will drive more votes from tho Re-
publican party than any other question
before the people. Harrison and Clevc-
land went down to defeat on the civil SER
vice issue. viii history repeat itself for
the third time in 1902

THAT IMMIGRATION BILL.

If President Cleveland had vetoed the immigration bill before 1t was amended. there would have been some excuse for the act. The original bill was not hu- 1nane in one of it's provisions It was so framed that 1t must result oftsn in the separation of families, which was one of the most inhuman features of the slavery system. But as amended it provided against this separation of fam lilies. MT Cleveland has shown the same disregard of the wishes of the people in this matter that he did in vetoing the bill providing for the coinage of the seignior- age. He seems to have had in mind ths Chicago anarchists when he spoke of the danger to this country of anarchists and agitators. While these are dangerous men they are not numerous, and their teachings will not take root in the minds of people who are sufficiently intelligent to comprehend the principles of our gov ernment. Cleveland sees no danger to this country from ignorance. In this view he is opposed to MT. Bryan, who constantly urged the people to study the questions of the last campaign and vote accordingly. The great enemy to this country is ignorance. Many of the immi- grants cannot read, and hence cannot comprehend our governmental system. This immigration bill proposed to guard against this danger.

A warfare savage and inhuman in it's fe- rocity. has been Waged against the strug- gling patriots Liberty in chains has appealed to free America for recognition and her cry has touched the hearts of all true Americans-but appealed in vain to the deaf ears of the "sluggard who sleeps and snores while Americans in Cuba are slaughtered;" and, in defiance of the unanimous sentiment of American man. hood and patriotism, he has permitted the flag of his country to be repeatedly insulted without resentment, and the butchery of innocent women and children and non-cembatants to proceed uncheck- ed.
 Once only during the four long, dreary, weary years of his incumbency, has he responded to the will of the people. and filled the measure of the dignity and re- sponsibility of his high office. That once was when he famed the Monroe doctrine in the face of Great Britain declared it to be not dead letter but living, breath ing principle of American autonomy, and challenged her to asSail it's integrity. And then 1t was. the praises of Grover Cleveland resounded from the gulf to the lakes, from ocean to ocean, and 70,000, GOO of American patriots stood ready to sus- tain their president Now his popularity and the indorsement of his administra- tion, is more than measured by the 136, GOO votes who cast their ballots for Pal nner and Buclxner, to aid the election of Mckinley; and today he takes his final leave of the white house, the most unpop- ular and thoroughly discredited and re- pudated president that ever entered its portals.

SERIOUS STEP

Dr. William B. Phillips, who has been for four years past chief chemist of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railway com pany. will retire from that position on March 1, when the labratory of Birmng- ha m, Ala will be almost closed the force being reduced to one man, in consequence of a general reduction of expenses by the company, which in this respect is pur- suing much mistaken policy of econo- my. Dr. Phillips organized the labora- tory and brought it up to high degree of efficiency and usefulness, over 4, 200 assays having been made there during year. while many investigations and ex- pcriments were carried on. which were of gnaat assis,en nee in improving the ccrnpa- Ey's work and its products. Prominent among these were the experiments on magnetic concentration of iron ores, which have been described by Dr. Phil liils in our columns. ns.--Engineering and Mining Journal.

HABITUAL KICKERS.

Montgomery Journal.
 Sensible newspapers are fast coming to the conclusion that the Montg morning paper is influenced more by pioue, spite and prejudice than for the public good in it's captious criticism of the tax commission law, and they decline to follow 1t into the camp of a common scold. Here is the Opelika Post one among the ablest of the opponents of Gov. Johnston and his financial views, asking a sensible and just view of the tax commission law:
 'Why all this fuss about the back tax law and oil examiners? The law is the law now and we hear nothing of calling an extra session of the legislature to un- make the law. Then where comes the use of further abuse? We fear that some have become habituai kickers and just can't get along without it."
 And this is the conclusion nearly all papers have come to that "have not be- come habitual kickers." Sensible people are tired of the abuse of a. law that has never been tried and whose perfections and imperfections have not been determ- ined

THE PEOPLE STILL. FOR HIM.

MODlle NeWS.
 There has been studied effort on the part of some of the newspapers to side- track MT. Bryan; and indeed he has dis couraged all attempts of his friends to keep him before the public as the only possible democratic presidential nominee in 1900. But in vain. The people will not have 1t that way and here is proof that they will not.t The New York World says dispatch. has boiled by telegraph the democratic regular organizations in all the states on this question: 'If the democratic national convention met to- morrow would William J. Bryan again be chosen as the democratic candidate for president?" The result is an extraordi- nary consensus of opinion. showing, with hardly an exception, that democratic or ganizations everywhere, as well as the democratic national committee, arc as devoted to MT. Bryan as ever A majori- ty of them believe he will not only be nominated but elected in 1900.

THE NEW REvnNr5E LAW.

The Mobile News, one of the ablest democratic papers in the state prints the following pointed editorial on the tax commission law:
 The newspapers which are trying to create prejudice against the democra tic administration of Alabama, by misrep- resenting the purpose of the new reve- nue law, say that the assessors will be subjected to a system of espionage that will be very offensive And yet nobody has complained because there is and has been for sometime a state examiner who may at any time scrutinize the books and accounts of any official through whose hands money of the state passes, whose Investigations are far more searching than will be those of the tax comms- sioners in their relations with assessors; and the commissioners supervision will not be for the detection of dishonesty, but merely for that of negligence. If the assessor perform his duty, he will es- cape unpleasant experiences and be cred itsd with faithful performance of duty. As to the necessity for the new law, It can be shown, we believe, by what has occurred elsewhere. In Weschester coun- ty, New York, few days ago, the grand jury returned true bills of indictment against several town assessors for abuses which had gone unrestrained for years. The finding of the jury is the most scathing that has ever been in the county The Jury round that there are many residents who are in the open and every day enjoyment of yachts, fast horses, costly equippages, kept for their own individual pleasure and enjoyment, contributing neither to their business nor livelihood. which of all classes of prop erty certainly. should bear its share of taxation, but which. on the other hand, is entirely overlooked by assessors. They found all kinds of chattles-merchand in stores, manufactured products, farm stock and implements, household furni- ture-escape exemption so rarely as to be almost never included in the assess ment rolls. In Weschester county the total assessed valuation of property for 1896 was s97.e12,000. of which S94, 300 GOO is real estate. being 967 per cent and S3.21S.0O0 is personal property. being 83 per cent. The latter is paid by 660 tax payers, being a total number of all indf- vidual partnerships. and corporations as- sessed for personal property out of 6 population of 15,e0o in county notorious ly one of the wealthiest in personal prop erty in the United States.

ARLE AND oRsERvANr EnnroR

ABLE AND OBSERVANT EDITOR.
 The governor is adding to his list of friends all the time. The Decatur News. which fought him for four years, now makes this frank and manly aeknowl- edgment:
 "A correspondent to the Mobile Regis ter. very complimentary, says that Gov Johnston makes a business governor. He is at his office at 9:30 a. m. daily, and remains until or z in the evening. The friends of Gov. Johnston pressed his claims because they said he would give the state (both populists and democrats1 an economical and business-1ike admin istration. The governors course is dem onstrating that they were not deceived. We are proud of Alabama's governor, and Jefferson should feel honored to pro- duce such a worthy son as the redheaded Joe"
 The News is one of the ablest and one of the most observant and intelli- gently edited weeklies in North Alabama, and this coming from. so prominent a source shows which way the wind is blowing and is quite ignif1cant.-Mont- gcmery Journal.

In Birmingham, the Magic City With quip and jest, and talk that's wiCty, In mask and frll and domino The merry crowds of people go; Upon each street and thoroughfare, There seems gay and joyous air. For throngs have come, from near and far, To see this merry mardi gras. Gay floats with colors rich and rare, Are floating through the merry air Rex Vulcan, second of his race Is here to grace both time and place, And all his followers high and low, Are striving hard to make nirth flow, That all may smile, and tell afar The pleasures of gay mardi gras.
