Particularly is this dfstIdct interested in that channel, and its interest in 1t will undoubtedly be largely increased in the near future. There is no reason to doubt that congress VII, when the mat ter is properly presented, say that Ala bama is entitled to an outlet wide enough to afford vessels room to pass one another without incurring the risk of damage or of creating a blockade of the pert.
 Now that the board of health of Missis- sipp has given a banquet, which took place last night at Meridian. 1t is to be hoped that it will have sufficient medical skill to see the difference between dengue and yellow fever in the future, which it didn't have last summer.
 Perhaps MT. Mckinley threatens to send the bi-metallic commission back to. Europe as a guarantee of good faith, with Mir. Walcott. In the event he does MT Gage will have to move out of the treasury if he expects to uphold national honor"
 Those speeches made before the Blmetaliic League Saturday evening last. on the oc- casion of the celebration of Jackson Day. will be heard in all parts of the state. They were as bugle sounds of the coming bat tle
  There is no danger of Lyman J Gage writing reply to the speech made by MT. Bryan last Saturday, at Chicago, as he did in reply to the resolutions adopted by the Federation of Labor at Nashville. The affair at Columbus may be a bless ing in disguise for MT. Hanna At no time | Ance his entrance into politics has he ever | been heard to use the word "honor," until | he collided with the legislator. 
 As will be seen from the news columns of The Age-Herald today, the inauguration of Gov. Bushnell was pulled off on time and in good manner, notwithstanding Mark Hanna said it would not be. With the fabulous profit on the manu- l facture of gas in this city at even seventy | five cents per thousand, the people will be satisfied with nothing less than one dollar gas
 The demand for cheaper gas is becom- | ing epidemic throughout the country. More | than fifty cities are now engaged in the work of reducing the price of gas. 
 Benton McMilln seems to be another who
 believes the people are for him in his fight l for the Tennessee senatorship, while the 1 politicians are all against him. l l Mckinley contends that he is still an advocate of International bi-metallism and l is looking around for someone else to take a pleasure trip to England. l Gas sold at s1 in this city is an income
 a great deal more than could be derived | from any other business with similar l amount of capital invested l With gas at s1 in Birmingham there is | a profit of more than two hundred per l cent to the company producing it. It is not probable that the man at Prince l ton will ever have the opportunity of | wrecking another political party.
 If New York is to be wide-open town | the chances are it will progress instead of | go backward
 | It seems that Corbett and Fitz do their fighting like Weyler did his; principally on
 the typewriter.
 Gov. Bushnell has reached the inner cir
 cIe, while MT. Hanna is still upon the icy
 sidewalk.
 Now that Corbett has finally issued his utimatum, perhaps he will keep quiet for a | while
 There seems to be a lively market in the legislative branch of the Ohio state govern | ment.
 Mark Hanna has made the discovery thai
 the track has been soaped in all directions
 There is danger of Lyman J. Gage rocking
 the golden boat few times too often. |
 There is at the present time great strain
 upon both of MT. Hannas legs
 
 Mr. Hanna has adopted the Blaine idea
