passed. It Is said that we will get free schools. The city could not run its own schools free if 1t paid ,its other debts. II the city council of Woodlawn paid as much to- wards public schools in proportion as the city of Birmingham does, we would nave free schools now but they prefer to pay their other debts and give the bondholders some on the interest. Ayondale does not owe one cent on it's interest, and has money in the treasury, and thy say it would get better officers if 1t was in the city. 1t is also said that we must have the same sys- tenn of sewerage and yet all admit we must wait for sewerage, but that it should be under the control and survey Of one ensl- neer. Then let us pay for the survey ana let the engineer do the work and then wait until we need the sewerage and then II you want us take in but if not we can take care of ourselves. When the sewerage IS built we will have it to pay for, and there is not one in ten on the outside who Is now able to pay for the sewerage. If the clty of Birmingham had come to us like men and said they were hopelessly in debt, ana as the mayors report shows, nothing short of legislative relief can save the city from bankruptcy and ruin, "then we would consider the matter, and if We thought II to the interest of both parties we would come to the rescue like men. The city went to the people with It's constitutional amend ment and asked them to allow 1t to tax US citizens twice much in order that It might pay this great debt and they granted the privilege. Is it supposed for moment that the city would have been granted thls privilege if it had been known that 1t was intended not only to increase the taxes Of the citizens of the city, but of large part of Jefferson county and that to without giving them chance to be heard!
 hope to see Greater Birmingham in reality, but am opposed to the manner in which they went at 1t, and do not think the time has come to take in so much territory when the city does not care for what it has. As you have published so much from the other side. I hope you will give both sides a chance. .

Solon Jacobs, commercial agent of the Central of Georgia railroad, announced yes- terday that his road had decided to have a handsome float in Birmingham at the carnival parades next February.

The plan was to get a special of flee established in some county and have the same class of offices established in every direction, forming little circuit. The mails would then be padded from one office to another, thereby swindling the government in cancellation and on mail contracts.

Those who complain that the war
is not moving rapidly enough are
wrong. 1t has already moved at q
pace so fast that our successes have
have become embarrassing. Admiral
Dewey has conquered the enemy at
Manila harbor, and in so doing be-
comes practical master OF the Philip
pines. But he must have troops to
hold the land and to administer q
military government. General Wesley
Merritt has been ordered with some
10. 600 men to Manila But he asks
for more men, and that the proportion
OF regulars be increased. No doubt
General Merritt is right In wanting d
larger army and ssaeasoned one. The
philippines are no frontier settlement
that $4,000 men can garrison their
posts. On the contrary General Mer-
rift would have control of d depart
men: containing 5000, 600 inhabi-
tants, hostile probably to the new
authorities. Certainly $4,000 men
do not make large army Of invasion
and occupation. Bnt too big an army
cannot be dispatched vel. There is
the subJugation of Cuba, which will
be the real business of the war, and
the capture and occupation Of Porto
Rico. Then an army for coast de-
tense must be maintained, and all
OF these men must be equipped, armed
fed, clad and moved.
