A New Theater.

There are two things in local theatrical affairs that are plain and undeniable-Bir- mingham needs a theater, and the best place for it is the Caldwell hotel lot.
 It is altogether unnecessary to argue at the close of the nineteenth century the uplifting force. But Birmingham is de- nied the better part of that elevating power, largely because the town needs theater. Mobile needs one, too, and is trying to pro- cure the building of a first-class place of amusement. The Register urges that req sonable enjoyment should be offered to a people "whose lives are dull enough when all is said" The lack of two play houses, the one in this city and the other in Mobile, simply results in jumps on the part of the best companies from Atlanta to New Or speaking at random. It knows whereof 1t speaks Is it creditable--is 1t profitable in city that is fast becoming the central commercial city of great state to have the
 
 of the want of an appropriate house?
 As to that fire-devastated lot 1t would be a municipal calamity if any building other than theater should be placed on 1t. Its location, elevation, accessibility, centrality, all mark it as the spot where Birming- hams theater should be built. And don't for one moment think that the coming city , of steel mills and steel industries-the city that will soon head the list of the worlds iron exporting cities-wil not have a the- ater. for 1t will have, and the hope will be entertained to the last that it will be built on the lot that still remains in the family of the lamented Henry Martyr Cald- well.

If she should go to Greenville and testify without fear or favor the chances are that Gaftor1 would be hung It Is high time for Alabama to re- sort to few legal hangings.

Money For Coast Defences.

In round numbers the governments rev. enue is $325 900 year. Just about one- half of this revenue is handed over to rich men and rich widows and perjured rascals, and other pensioners, as gratuities. h. stead of decreasing. this yearly distribu- ton of gift money is increasing, and 1t :s believed there will be before the close of the present year 100000 names on the pension roll. and that the yearly outgo on this &C., count will rise to s165. 100000.
 It is depicting the treasury to such an extent that the republican managers In the house are compelled to cut the fortfica- tions appropriation bill down from $13S7S,- 571 to s4,l44,912 In other words, the ports of the country are to be left defenceless even against a second-rate power in order that votes may be won by filling the pock- cts of a million men with gratuities.
 In the discussion of the Notifications bill on Wednesday last Mr.. Underwood, of the Birmingham district denounced the bill be- cause it did not provide for works of de- fense along the coast of the Gulf of Mex- co. Mobile harbor, he said, would be the first harbor entered by the Spanish fleet if war with Spain should occur; but the truth is, there is only one port from Port land in the state of Maine to Puget Sound that is equipped with proper works of de- fense. The one city is New York. The other twenty-two lack modern Notifications, guns, emplacements, mines and the like, and the money is not forthcoming for these costly defenses against modern battle ships. It goes for pensions. In case of a quarrel with Great Britain. Japan, Russia. France. Italy or Germany, says a recent writer. a squadron could easily keep the battle ships of this country at sea, and send one or two armored cruisers to destroy or imperil the aggregated wealth of any one of the twcnty-two unprotected seaports. Not one of them Is prepared against an attack from modern guns on q modern armored shin.
 There is money to give away, but none for the defense of the coast line. There is money for every rascal who is. willing to

Public Lands for Common Schools.

There seems to be no reason why the pub- lie lands sill remaining in Alabama should not be turned over to the state as trustee for the benefit of the common schools. The public domain in Alabama is rapidly di- minishing and at this time amounts to all of the states organized prior to 1S4S, re- ceived from the general government a grant of the sixteenth section, or $40 acres in each township, for the maintenance of the public schools of that township. The total acreage of this grant in Alabama, un- der the act of March g. 1879, was 902, ,774. The act of 1s4S, from the hands of Senator Stephen A. Douglas, provided for an addi- tional grant of the thirteth section in each township. or 1,2SO acres in every six miles square, for all states and territories that should be thereafter organized
 Two townships. or 46,OSO acres in Alabama, were, by the act of 1S19 granted for the maintenance of the state university. Later land grants were made for the benefit of the agricultural and mechanical college. Senator Pettus has recently introduced q bill in the senate providing for grant of one township. or 2a,o4O acres, for the bene- fit of the Alabama Polytechnic School for Girls at Montevaao.
 The policy of further diverting the public lands within the state for the purposes of special and higher education is one that may be seriously questioned. The states of the west have received for common schools two sections, or 1,2SO acres in each township, while Alabama and other south ern states have received but one section in each township Texas upon her admis- sion to the union was permitted to retain all her public lands for school purposes, and in consequence has magnificent per- of all her people through their common schools.
 The public schools of Alabama are in sore need; the cause of special and higher ed- ucation in the state has already been fos- tered and developed out of all proportion to that of the common schools, and reason and equity would dictate that the 600 900 acres remaining in Alabama should be given to all the people for the benefit of their schools. Even then the common schools of the state will have received less than one-half their quota of public lands, when compared with those of the states of the west. Any disposition of the public lands within Alabama that does not inure to the equal benefit of all the people, is negotiable.

Deficits and Trusts.

Let no one be deceived by the statements from administration sources to the effect that January brought a small surplus into the treasury The books show surplus, but that surplus should not be credited to DIngfeyism The receipts from the varl- ous sources were: Customs, s14269 ,4s2; in- ternal revenue, 199; miscellaneous, including Union Pacific sale, $10,62O, ,9S6-total $S7, ,23S, ,26S The expenditures were: Civil and miscellaneous, $S 966, ,12S; war. $4,946,O ,O9S; navy, SS2SO,1O7; Indians, $11 O4O, ,429; pensions, SIP S75, ,22s; interest," $6,1sS, ,26-total, $S6S96,- I'll. These figures show a surplus of $iS6,- 557: but the meanness of them consists in not giving the amount of the Pacific rail- road item The actual difference between current ordinary receipts and expenditures was just $79O1.4 carrying the deficit of the fiscal year up to s51,eOl, ,s2s. There are some who believe there will be a deficiency at the end of the fiscal year well up to- wards s1OOooo 900.
 Whether or not this is to be the case, it is plain the Dingley bill is dismal faii- ure as a revenue measure--that is, as revenue raiser for the treasury.
 It is, however, hilarious success as a promoter of trusts and trust profits. They are simply booming. and the last one of them from start to finish bases its opera tlons on the Dingley tariff They made it. They paid for it. And by the way for history's sake, some way should be devised to make MT. Mark Hanna disclose his campaign subscription lists of 1896. They would account for all the trusts the land is at present afflicted with
 Trusts are organized so rapidly of late that it is well nigh impossible to keep up with them: and nearly all of them deal in the necessities of life. For example. the newly organized biscuit, cracker and bak- ing trust Another beauty Is the paper trust. Still another is the steel nail trust. which is advancing prices by daily leaps.

 So bold and daring have these robbers become under the protection of the Havana -Dingley Mckinley crowd that the Phil adelphia Public Ledger, which has not a democratic hair in its head, Is moved to say: Should this sort of thing continue as it has continued during the last four or five months, there is likely to be not a single necessary of life upon which exorbi- tant duties are levied the cost of which will not be fixed and controlled by monopolis- tic trust. The only certain way to destroy | the power of these sordid combinations to make dear whatever the people consume in | their daily living is to put upon the free list every product of every present duty protected trust"

DIFFERENT NOW.

When the down trodden and opreSs- desperate odds. for the things vouch- safed by God Almighty to every crea- ture-tf7e right to live, and enjoy the fruits of their own labors-the United States needed no other excuse to rush in and, i'll the name of humanity, res cue them from the fiendish cruelties of the Spaniards.
 But whenPncle Sam went into the business. it became no child's play for either this nation or Spain. Millions of money were spent and homes all to furnish an army to perform this great task.
 Victory crowned our efforts, and we find we have on our hands a ma ton, wrested from slavery, yet not able to govern themselves because of a prepon- derance of that great curse of all ma tions-ignorance. We have fed them, clothed them, and now as duty that we still owe to Cuba, let us give the m at least taste of good government, and if, after we have educated them up to the American standard. we find that they are capable of self government, it will be time enough to turn them out to the tender mercies of this big world.
 Let other nations say what they will the United States is large and strong enough to take a stand on this subject and maintain it by force of arms, if nec- esssary.
 The Philippines are ours, by right of conquest, and Cuba, by the right which would prompt strong man to take his starving neighbor into his home and nourish him until he had strength to stand for himself.
