TAKES MIR. RoDEN's SIDE.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I wish to begin by saying that l am not an admirer of MT. Roden's, and there IS probably not a soldier in the First Ala bama, or any other regiment, who likes him less than do. But I have been disgusted at the vituPeration that has been leVelied at the man. rather than at his opinions.
 Now, in this case, we have to deal With his opinions, and not the man, his occupa- don, nor his way of maainr money. A man may break every law in fhe deealogue and sfln hold opinions on soue matters thaL cannot be controverted
 70 spe:ah truth, there would be nothing more unfortunate for BirrrineH m then t5 bring a lot of soldiers nere That one, two, three ten or twenty soldiers should declare that MT. Roden has been unjust, does not alter the facts in the case; and, as MT. Eastman says, they are animated by self ish motives.
 These young sprigs seem to think that every man in the regiment has been in- suited. MT. Roden spoke of the majority of course, and not all There may be a hundred, possibly two or three hundred perfectly moral men in a regiment, but in a mob of twelve or thirteen hundred men, whether soldiers or what, does not every one know that the majority are dissi- pated?
 It is a fact, not to be disputed, that to quarter a regiment of soldiers near town is to fill the saloons, dives, prisons and guardhouses with them, and probably it was though the instrumentality of the keepers of the first two named places that the matter was agitated Now, it was TD,da tn as he did, considering the fact that he has an interest-so I see it stated-in a brewery He could undoubtedly make money off of these same soldiers, whose coming he O. poses.
 Therefore, let us be grateful that for once he thought less of the Almighty Dol lar and more of the interest and honor of Birmingham, and the protection of her wo- men and children.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Cattle and Cotton.

'sThe extremely low price, says the Col linsville Clipper, (which cotton has reachea will doubtless cause many of our North Alabama farmers to resort to something instead of all cotton for cash crop. It appears to the Clipper that stock raising on a small scale could successfully be engaged in. At the present prices a couple of con- mon yearlings will yield as much cash as bale of cotton"
 Common yearlings are not very fine cat tie, but as they practically in this climate find their own food-just raise themselves there is profit in having few to turn off each year. There is no reason to believe that Alabama yearlings will ever be cheap CT than they are now The population of the country is increasing rapidly, and the raising of cattle will always be remunera- tive. Alabamas part of the business seems to consist in the raising of common year. lings, to be fattened elsewhere.
 We'll, common yearlings are better than no yearlings at all; and if Alabama cannot afford to grow corn for the fattening of its cattle, let us at least turn off the yearlings that the Clipper calls for. It is good sense in agriculture It means some milk and some beef at home, and some diversity in the farm methods of the state.

Gen. Wheeler Before Commission.

"Uncle Joe Wheeler" says the Memphis Scimetar 'is telling the war commission something about the Santiago campaign. It is suspected that Joe knows few things about that campaign, and 1t is significant of his quality as a soldier and a gentleman that he religiously refrains from detract'ng from any mans praise. Somehow Joe thinks that when you have won fight you don't have to apologize for .it''
 General Wheeler does know how to avoid tangle and a squabble. and the coun- try likes him all the better be cause he does; but there is a soldier and a gentleman who is just now in a mood to n all he knows regardless of scraps or = roiaps- That soldier and gentleman is u general commanding. His name is Miles. H. did own bathtub but the country long ago fergave him that. He has right to own two bathtubs, e.d to use both daily, es- pecially if he tells all he knows
 Let MT. McKinleys comms ssion summon General Miles, He may not be the kind of man they are looking for, but he cer tainly is the kind of man the country wants to hear from. If General Miles is not called in, the country will want to know the reason why. Colonel Sexton will be called upon to explain. There are some Rough Riders, too, who should be asked to testify, and then the genesis and the unfolding and the upholding of the great Huidekoper should be made known The commission has plenty of work before it. Will it do it?

The Fever in Mississippi.

Lafayette, Yallobusha, Montgomery, Madison, Hinds, sharkey, Wilkinson, Clai- borne and Jefferson counties are now con- sidered infected; and the disease is stead fly, if not rapidly, spreading to other coun- ties. The entire west side of the state above the coast will soon be infected. Co., lumbus and Meridian are still free from the disease. but Starkville and Winona and Water VI Rlley are fever-affiicted
 The Memphis Commereial-Appeal ex- plains fhe spreading of the fever in the small t0g gns of Mississippi "They have" it says, no sewerage and all slops and and congratulations matter are thrown into vadlts where they fester and send forth noisome and poisonous gases, and where the liquid portion percolates into the wells in the vicinity. With polluted air and pol Iuted water, there is every invitation of fered to this or other pests, and, once in- troduced. there is afforded luxuriant soil in which to thrive. One of the greatest sources of poison is the town well. It may be sixty feet deep, and within thirty feet of it will be a vault that is not only neglected from day to day, and from week to week, but which is sure to discharge its poisons into the we'll"
 Let not Alabama think that this descrip- tion of the Commercial-Appeal is applicable to Mississippi towns only. It fits scores of Alabama towns like a glove, and number of those towns are near the Mississippi line. Those towns should be purified and kept clean and sweet until-not simply frosts. but to the end of time. The need such sanitation as General Wood applied in Santiago is needed. Clean up.

The Tax Payers of New York.

The chairman of the democratic state committee in New York has taken hold of the canvass with vigor and with de- termination to win. He has adopted the school district or Tilden plan, through which each individual democrat is reached.
 The hope of victory in New York rests in the known desire of very many people to have at Albany once more a governor who is painstaking and who possesses bus fness ability and desire to economize, and Judge Van Wyck is known to possess these qualities Colonel Roosevelt is a reformer and a soldier, but he is not considered a prudent business man.
 The people of the state are tired of the waste and corruption that have at every step characterized republican rule in the state When the democrats went out of power in 1895, the bonded debt of the state had been paid, and there was surplus in the treasury amounting to nearly three millions. The Raines liquor law brings in nearly five millions a year, and if the states affairs had been economically man. aged, the taxpayers could have been re- leved of state tax altogether, so great are the indirect revenues of the state. But the republicans have increased the expenses of the state enormously, saying nothing as to the canal steals. They have created new offices and new commissions, and added to the annual expense in various ways. A man like Judge Van Wyck, careful, prudent and painstaking, can, it is estimated, re- duce the expenses of the state at least two millions year.
 This is what the farmers and other tax payers want, and herein lies the hope of

 "They were all practically volunteers. Even the regulars were new; they had had more experience with their officers, but they were no more efficient than the volunteer corps.

The Pennsylvania regiment was an excellent one, and all the way though they were as good lot of soldiers as I should care to command. l have been enlightened in re- gard to the efficiency of the volunteer serv- Ice from what I have seen of my men in the Philippines.

In fact, the pet dog is always on the wrong side of the door, and never happy unless he is either going out or coming in.

THE PLAYwRIGHTs WIFE.

From the Kansas City Star
 Mrs. Caroline Miskel Hoyt, who died in New York last night, was famous for her beauty rather than for her talent as an actress. She was especially admired by women, who recognized in her rare type of loveliness. The sensation which she created in Kansas City three seasons ago was due almost wholly to her unusual per- sonal charms, and those who saw her then will be saddened to learn that one so young, so pleasing to look upon, so full of hope, is gone.

LAST OF THE DELAWARE HAZARDS.

From the Baltimore News.
 With the death of MT. Bayard, the last male representative of the family in Dela- ware has passed away. For a time it was hoped that the dead statesman's son and namesake, Thomas Francis Bayard, Jr., (as he then was) would be ready to step into his fathers place in the traditional family way. Young MT. Bayard however, showed no inclination to enter public life, and his first (and probably only) experience in that particular occurred two years ago, when he allowed himself to be nominated as the congressional candidate of the gold demo- crats of the state. He has since left Dela- ware and is racticing law in New York.
