ferred. It better protects the cotton. The steamship people, too. do not like the round bale, on account of the spaces be- tween the cylinders whereas a cargo of bales in the old form becomes a solid mass on board ship. The spinners do not like the round bales because they cannot so readily mix various grades. A spinner will open, for example. a dozen bales Of three grades, and he will take layer from one bale, then from the second, then from the third according to the quality desired; but this cannot be done when round bales are purchased. Nor can the new bale be readily sampled, on account of it's density.
 A MT. Boylets advice is, stick to the old form of bale, but make the bales of uni- form length and width. This can be done in one way only, namely agree upon a size for the box gins. and then see that ev- cry ginhouse conforms to the size adop- ted. This Is a matter of considerable im- portance, as the American crop needs all the support and strength 1t gain. It has riva,s.

PRESIDENT WILSON OBJECTS.
Says the State Reform School at Florence Is
 Not in the Conspiracy.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 My Dear Sr:-In your editorial headed "A Conspiracy in last Saturdays issue of The Age-Herald, you say by implication, if not directly, that the State Normal Col lege at Florence, through it's board of directors and it's president has entered into a conspiracy with other state insti- tutions to induce congress to set aside the bulk of the OO,000 acres of public lands to their own use, and thus practically cut off the common schools.
 I do not know what has been done by other institutions in this state. As far as the State Normal college, at Florence, is concerned, neither it's board of directors nor it's president is accustomed to resort to conspiracy any other subterfuge in order to further it's interests It has not in any way whatever been connected, either di- rectly or indirectly, with such a plan as your editorial charges. This editorial was the first intimation that I had that there was any such bill in congress.
 There is a bill in congress looking toward the appropriation of 25,00O acres of public land to the Florence State Normal The idea of asking for this appropriation orig mated with Dr. James K. Powers some five or six years ago, and one ground on which it was asked was the destruction of school property, library, chemical and physical apparatus by the federal army when Gen. Sherman occupied the building. There never was any effort on the part of Dr. Powers to keep this bill secret: mention was frequently made of it by the Alabama press; the alumni of the institutions throughout the state heard of It; many of the papers outside of the state noted the introduction of the bill in congress. As far as I know there has been a wish to give publicity to our present bill instead of trying to keep it quiet.
 Without entering into discussion of the merits of our bill, and without replying to your charge of inefficiency brought so sweepingly against the Normal schools (the work of our institution can speak for itself, I simply desire to have our school st right dn the above mentioned matter of the Conspiracy and l trust to your sense of fairness and justice to do ths in your columns Yours very respectfully,
 M. c. WILSON, President.
 Florence, Ala. March 10.

A QUALIFYING AFTERTHoUGHr

From the Detroit Free Press.
 The man who uses slang has been reliev- ing his mind ad libitum concerning his boarding place. He had been engaged in the vain but common struggle to make up by emphasis of speech for deficiencies in elegance.
 'I am surprised to find you going on at this rate," commented his listener. Tt was only a short time ago that you were loud in praises of your boarding place."
 'When did I say anything in praise of it?"
 Shortly after you moved there. And must say never regarded you as man whose opinions would vary from day to day. You have hitherto stood by your sentiments, after you once expressed them"
 "was ever enthusiastic about that boarding placer"
 "Yes, I remember your exact language You said 1t was a beach,"
 "Sure?"
 ''Tm positive.'
 ''Well, if said It. I'll stand by it. But don't you forget this. There are peaches and peaches. There are fresh peaches and canned peaches and dried peaches. And there ain't anything, in my opinion, more irritating and unpalatable than a dried peach. I won't retract what said in the first place. It's a peach, all right. But it isn't thing but of the kind that has had all the goodness extracted from it completely and forever"

The Nebraska Rate Case.

The Nebraska maximum rate case de- cided by the United States supreme court on Monday of this week, is regarded as favorable to the railroads, although it does not alter the decisions of twenty years ago in the granger cases The decision cept by implication.
 The court held that the state has the right to name maximum freight or pas senger rates within its own lines, if it does not go so far as to take away reasonable return to a roads stockholders. The cut of 30 per cent. in Nebraska went beyond that point as the roads are now capitalized
 MT. Bryan argued the states side of the case in the supreme court, and he em- phasized the point that anything beyond the cost of duplication was false capitali- determining the reasonableness of rates. Rates, in other words. should be high enough to admit of q reasonable return upon actual or cost value only.
 The court oid not exactiy pass upon tnis point. although the opinion was unanimous. But by reading between the lines it can be seen that when the state neglected to regulate the issues of stocks and bonds of a railroad, and it's issues went out with the approval of the state, and passed into the hands of honest investors. the state cannot cut rates below the power of road to earn reasonable return upon those is- sues of stocks and bonds. But this point was not explicitly passed upon. Justice Harlan, in rendering the opinion of the court, said: "What the company is en- titled to ask is fair return upon the value of that which it employs for the public convenience. On the other hand, what the public is entitled to demand is that no more
