The duel that occurred Sunday
| morning in Paris between Prince
| Henri French) and the count of Turin
utalian) is just now to talk of the press
of this country and Europe. The
| cause for the meeting on the field of
honor was brought about by Prince
Henri writing about the cowardice of
the Italian officers in Abysinnia. The
| fight was a determined one, but not q
bloody affair and neither party was
| hurt rs bad as he would have been if
| they had been turned loose in a six
round go in squared ring. Prince
Henri is scion OF the house of BOur-
bon. while the count of Turin is q
nephew of the King aumbert of Italy
and a brother to the Duke of Aosta.
In all probability Prince Henri may
ave to meet several more Italians in
duels before the quarrel he has arOus-
ed is quieted, but If can manage to get
in his work and run one of his regal
Italian antagonists through he will
probably be let alone and can here
after say what he pleases about
Abysinnia.
The report is current that the
White Oaks railroad project has bet
ter prospects now than ever before
Rumor has it that the road will be
built and that arrangements have been
made for a junction near Clayton, New
Mexico, with another road that is now
being built through southwest Kansas.
That the White Oaks road will be built
sooner or later there is no doubt. The
country that the proposed road is to
traverse is too rich in resources to be
long left without railroad connection
with the outside world. The country
is not only rich in minerals and coal
but is we'll timbered and is a fine
farming country. If a junction were
made at Cleyton with Kansas road it
would bs the shortest route to the east
and the country traversed would be
opened up and developed in its many
resources as no road now runs through
that section.

TO DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS.
To the Democratic members of the Gen.
eral Assembly of Alabama:
You will assemble in caucus tonight
to consider a question which Is of far
more vital consequence than any other
which has come before you during your
term of service as lawmakers for the
people of the great commonwealth of
Alabama. Upon the answer which you
will make to your constituency depends
the future of the first in the roster OF
states which comprise this glorious
union.
With such heavy responsibility rest
ing upon your Shoulders it would be well
for You to pause and consider the steps
you are about to take. From every nook
and corner of our grand old state the
people have spoken in no uncertain tones
and the one cry is, "Give US a constitu-
tional convention" From every noun
tain top has been hurled back the echo to
this cry and with this echo ringing in
your ears can you afford to ignore 1t?
The destinies of nations have many
times been left in the keeping of fewer
men than is now the destiny of Ala
bama, and with the eyes of your people
upon you awaiting your will as to the
future of your state. you should ponder
and realize the step you are about to
take.
You are the representatives of the peo-
pie and it is your bounden duty to see
to it that their wishes should not be ig-
nored.
Standing, as 1t were, upon the thres-
hold of new era old methods should be
done away with and methods to suit the
times should be brought into service.
Alabama's present constitution has serv-
ed its day and time, but the state has
outgrown her swaddling clothes and it is
necessary, If she is to retain her place
at the top of the column of great states
of this great union for her to have a new
suit Will you order it made or give the
people an opportunity to say whether
the cloth should be cut and the garment
made?

Water is easily accessible and could be
readily pumped into a reservoir from
which thirty TO fifty acres of land could

gas works, truck farming, slaughter pens,

asylum and operated the same with the
inmates under his care. Why could not
a man of like executive ability be put in
charge of this reformatory and it be
made not only self-sustaining, but the
pride of the state as an educational
school in many of the useful callings in
life for these young criminals. many of
whom are bright boys, and only need
kind, watchful care to become useful citi-
zens. Let the legislature act in the mat
ter and aid the noble ladies of the state
who are petitioning for this relief for the
young. N. B. FEAGIN.

OUR LETTER BOX.
OFFERS SUGGESTIONS.

Editor State Herald:
Having read the bill introduced in the
legislature by our able Representative.
Col John ]. Altman, amending the act
establishing the inferior criminal court
of Birmingham, which was published in
your issue of yesterday, and being a
friend to the bill, desire to offer few
suggestions. l believe the bill, in order
to more efficiently carry out its pur
poses, should be amended in two or three
particulars.
In the first place, the constitution re-
quires that each law shall contain but
one subject, which shall be clearly ex-
pressed in its title or caption. In this
respect, l fear the bill. as introduced, is
faulty, and in order that it may not be
declared unconstitutional on this ground
after it becomes a law, would suggest
the following as suitable and fit caption:
A BILL.
