LOCAL CYCLISTS AROUSED.
A Movement Made to Force Them to Use
 Lanterns.

A Movement Made to Force Them to Use
 Lanterns. af, ,r,
 Local cyclists are very much exercised over the effort being made to require the use of lamps on all wheels out after dark
 At the last meeting of the city council Alderman Harrington introduced an or- dinance prohibiting any one from riding bicycle after dark without a lantern, and but for the vigilence of one or two other aldermen the ordinance would lfke- ly have passed at that meeting. Since that time cyclists and their friends have been making a strong canvass against the law and believe that they now have it defeated. Several petitions. have been circulated and numerously signed
 It Is argued by the opponents of tho or dinance that it's passage will entail bur- densome expense on large number of people not able to stand it. They say there are 5000 wheels used in Birming- , ham and to put lanterns on all these would cost not less than $12ooO or $150OO. They claim that great many people do not ride their wheels merely for pleasure, but in going to and from their business. To require these people to put lanterns on their bicycles, at an expersel of $4 or s for each one, would not only be burdensome to them, but would be an injustice as well.
 The ordinance comes up for passage at the meeting of the city council tomorrow night at which time the opponents of the law say they will use all honorable means to defeat it.

The first issue of the new Age-Herald was received with great favor by the business people of Birmingham.
 It was received with more favor than it deserved, perhaps.
 It is difficult to resurreet the dying in short day, but in time there is no reason why Birmingham should not have great newspaper.
 It takes liberal people to support newspaper, but Birmingham is rothing, if not liberal.

THE PILL THAT WILL.
DINGLEYIsM AND TIE CoNsTITU.
TION.

The Constitution Of the United States
says:
Section 81. The Congress shall have
power to lay and collect taxes, duties,
mposts and eXcises, to pay the debts
and provide for the common defense and
general welfare of the United States.
In the debate on the Dingey bill
several Democratic Congressman, notab-
ly Mr. Gaines, of Tennessee, contended
that the DingIey bill, if passed as it now
reads, would be unconstitutional be-
cause in its title it declares that its
objects are "to provide revenue for the
government and to encourage the in
dustries of the United States"
The constitutional question raised is
this; Is the phrase OF the Constitution
'to provide for the general welfare"
capable Of a construction loose enough
to include the right to lay taxes "to
encourage the industries of the United
States?"
Can the Republican contention that
prohibitive duties on certain articles,
giving encouragement to certain indus.
tries, promotes "the general welfare"
be sustained if it is frankly and specih-
cally embodied in the phraseology of
the law?
Among the many authorities quoted
by Mr., Gaines in support of his position
was the supreme court of the United
States, which SAID go Wallace, 663):
''To lay with one hand the power of
the government on the property OF the
citizens and with the other to bestow it
upon favored individuals to aid private
enterprises and build up private for
tunes is none the less a robbery because
is done under the process of law and
S called taxation"
The questionable phrase in the title
to the Dingley bill was never used be-
ore in tariff bill. 1t is useless, boast.
ul, pretentious and absurd Is it not
possible that if the Republicans persist
keeping it in the bill they may
bitterly regret their cheap and foolish
attempt to make political capital?-

tons were made in delegate conven.
tion-these delegates appointed by the
committeeman of each precinct. There
was much dissatisfaction at this assum p.
ton of power on the part of the COM
mittee, and the convention, after nom.
mating the ticket, adopted a resolution
by a unanimous vote that thereafter
tickets should be nominated by popular
vote. This should settle the question
as to the manner of making our monina.
tons for next fall. 1t was in accord
ance with the resolution referred to that
the ticket In Canton was made this
spring on the popular vote plan. 1t
worked satisfactorally and no doubt will
work well and acceptably for the fall.
1t is altogether best to have the people
do their own business. The people who
are expected to elect the ticket should
certainly lave voice in making it, If
not, why not?

better was promised and expected by
many after that November election if
Mckinley were elected; but instead of
improvement thereafter business gener-
ally was even more reduced as was evi.
denced by numerous bank and other
failures, and by the interest rates for
money in New York getting as low as
u and per cent.
Different have been business condi-
tions in Great Britain, for the past year
was one of unusual prosperity. This is
proven by the fact that money has been
in demand so that the New York banks
have loaned millions Of dollars to
European bankers, getting better inter.
est rates than here at home. All this
shows better business conditions abroad.

their grasp is that of death When did
usury ever clasp but to kill? With the
usury that prevails in this land how can
business improve? This usury with the
policy of the gold standard causing de-
cline in the prices of commodities and so
giving greater purchasing power to the
dollar and thus making more and more
valuable bonds, mortgages and all fixed
indebtedness, has been crushing the
American people. 1t seems TO be the
design of those in power to continue
this evil policy. The people themselves
must see to this all important work.
