Business and Greater BirmInqham.

In thls state, and particularly in the min eral district, business has progressed un- checked by election contests or political questions: and now that there is to be two years without an important election, 1t will assuredly be advanced without check or hlndrance of any kind. The settlement of the war will undoubtedly promote the business side of the situation. and wise legislation at Montgomery may also become factor. All that business men ask is Q free, fair opportunity, and they will strive to make the most of the states unrivalled resources.
 In the mineral district distinctly hopeful feeling has set in. Men who could not see hope in the situation, now see plenty of 1t ahead, and all about them. The dullness and despondency of the past is passing away and the upswell of good times is be- coming more and more and more percepti- ble every day.
 If at this turning juncture there could come a. Greater Birmngham-a Birming- ham that includes Ensley as well as Gate City, and West End well as East Lake if such Birmingham could be estab- lshed there is not worker in Jones val ley that would not take hold with increased vigor and increased hopefulness. This may. smack of the sentimental; it may be mere sentiment; but sentiment oftentimes goes very far in this world.
 The Age-Herald asks for moderation, good sense, needful concessions, and, above all else, patriotism in the conferences that are to determine the consolidation question, its terms and scope. One such conference is to be held tonight. If more conferences are necessary, let them be held.@ If the people of the suburban towns think con- ferences be advisable in their respective To- calities, let them be held. Let us discuss the questions involved freely, fully and temperate. Let us try to get together, instead of trying to keep apart

FEDERAL ACTION THE STATES

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 Our esteemed contemporary. the New York Evening Post, agrees with the Times= Herald that the rebellion of Governor Tan+ ner against the constitution of the United States, in driving Alabama negroes out of the state, would justify the interference of tine federal government to restore the rights of citizens, but takes exception to the Times-Herald's statement that the federal government can act only upon official in- formation.
 The Post is of opinion that the statute authorizing federal interference does not require any formal procedure. It believes , that the president can and should act upon what is called notorious facts.
 This is a mistaken idea If our contem- porary will recall the great railroad strike of 1894 it will remember, probably, that the necessity for federal interference was notorious fact some time before there was any interference, and that President Cleveland did not send troops to Chicago until the postmaster had represented to him that the mails were being interfered with, and the district attorney and United States marshal had notified him through the proper channels that there was inter- ference with the processes of the United States courts.
 It is the presidents duty to act, under the federal statutes, when the the state au- thorities fail or refuse to protect citizens in their rights, but he must have something more than newspaper publications and com mon report upon which to base his official act. He might take some action to advise himself officially, but he would need to have the official information.

POLLYs PIE

Elenor W. F. Bates in the Outlook When Mary Ann was cooking once
 Our Polly made a pie; She took some four and water
 And some butter standing nigh; And then she took some sugar, cause
 She says she likes things sweet, And sprinlfled on the rolling board
 All that she didn't eat. She rolled 1t out long, long time,
 With salt, little bit; She dropped 1t four times on the floor, And once she stepped on 1t. She doesn't think pie plates made of tin
 Are pretty, so she took A small, red flower pot saucer Which was better. for the cook. She filled her pie with half pear, Two raisins and a date; Then put it in the oven, and
 Forgot 1t till quite late. It was not burned, for Mary Ann
 Had taken care of that; Sc Polly. gave a party to
 The chickens and the cat.

Minor Questions at Memphis

From the Mobile Register.
 Although the plan has been adopted of getting together a convention at Memphis for the adoption of resolutions favoring a national quarantine system, no discussion of the main question being invited there are several matters of detail that the del- egates will be asked to pass upon. These are stated in circular from the chairman of the convention committee. as follows:
 1. Shall the work of enforcing the new law be left to the marine hospital service or shall a health bureau be organized for the purpose?
 2. Shall the powers conferred be limited to a quarantine of the coast and coast cities, or shall they be more extensive? :? And in the event you favor a maritime quarantine only, what measures should be should it, by any accident or oversight, evade the maritime quarantine?
 3. If the yellow fever appears in the United States, is it best fought by quaran- timing all cities in the fever belt against the infected point, or by establishing such de- tention camps at the infected point and taking such measures as may be deemed necessary to prevent the spread of the dis ease?
 4. Would not the enforcement of the lat ter plan by the federal authorities afford the greatest security and feeling of secur- ity to the people?
 5. Shall the discovery and proclamation of yellow fever be left to local authorities, or made the duty of such federal depart ment?

The Cuban Problem.

Cuban occupation in a military sense will soon be begun, and in the course of ninety days will be an accomplished fact Puerto Principe was handed over last week. The provinces of Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba constitute the eastern half of the island Coffee is grown in that end of the island and one of the provinces is full of undeveloped mineral wealth.
 With occupation by American troops will arise many difficult problems; but out of the haze can be seen two to- erably clear possibilities. First. the United States will retain possession. long enough to cleanse the ports, mo- tably Havana, and secondly, the people of Cuba will then be afforded an opportunity to express their political desires. The first chapter will call perhaps for an oc- cupation extending over two years-pos- sibly more. Sanitation, peace. security, will all take place during the preliminary government of the island.
 The people of Cuba may at the end of
 
 the provisional period say that annexation is good enough for them: but whatever their clear and certain desire may be, 1t will be carried out. The promises of America will be fulfilled. But the desires of handful of insurgents will not be con- sidered. The desire of Cuba will be ascer- tained when an American election can be held from one end of the island to the The people of Cuba, all the people, must decide what the political destiny of the island shall be-
 The chances are very good that this de- nor in more than five years. and in the meanwhile all the operations of govern ment must be carried on in an orderly and satisfactory manner. Shall this practically politicians? This and many more ques- tions are up to congress for settlement not perhaps at the short session, but cer- tainly at the first session of the next congress.
 Cuba has wonderfully bright future and the chances largely are that it's people will never willingly go out of America once they have tasted and tested American methods and American enterprise. They will find that even under army rule that liberty is the first law, and enterprise and schools follow close after it. It is safe to count Cuba as another Hawaii, desirous in the long run of place in the great re- final answer.

CYRANo TE BERGERdC
tbe snr;ngfiald Renublicsn

From the Springfield Republican.
 Edmond Rostand, the author of "Cyrano de Bergerac," disclaims the contemptuoua references to America charged to him fin the newspapers. He did not copyright his play in the United States, because he did rot dream of its being successful outside of France, and although it is common prop erty he has received handsome sums from this country The prose translation by Ger trude Hall, published by the Doubleday & Mcclure company, pays him a royalty on every copy, and is now In its thirteenth thousand, while Mansfield's stage setting gives M Rostand something like $100 day. So if he had any hard feelings toward us they have quite vanished.

GEN. ALGER SHOULD STUDY THIS

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 By no means the least remarkable thing about General Kitchener's Soudan cam paign was its low cost. According to his own account, the whole cost of the war movement during it's two and a half years of continuance was e2,5O0,00O, say $12,5O0,O)0, and this included not only the transporta- ton and maintenance of the troops, but the building of ~ miles of well equipped rail- way and 2000 miles of telegraph. It would have been an extremely low price for the railway alone, even conceding that it was built as much of it was, by merely laying the rails and ties on level sand with little or no grading ne economic feature of the Sirdars campaign is of interest to both civi, and military engineers.

LORD CHURoHILLis ENORMOUS ZEE

LORD CHURCHILLS ENORMOUS F BE
 London, November 1.-The examination
 of Ernest Terah Hooley, the company pro-
 moter, in bankruptcy proceedings. was re-
 sumed today. The court was crowded with
 people, including many ladies. a number of
 persons being unable to obtain admission.
 During the day Hooley made number
 of curious statements, one being that he
 gave Lord Churchill $175,OOO to induce the latter to sell an estate to MT. Dueros;
 bue he could not explain why he gave the
 money, and later he could not remember what a check for 300 was>>for. When
 shown a pencil note on the counterfeit
 reading, For introducing Lord D." the
 bankrupt said it meant Lord Deerhurst.
 He could not, however, remember the cir
 cumstances.
 Later Hooley said the gold communion plate which he presented to St. Paufs cathedral cost s7,520, and he added that he gave $195,O00 to charity last year, and that his living expenses were from $5O,0OO to s60,O0o yearly.
 | The examination was then concluded and the case was adjourned for a week. Hooeys downfall will be completed Thursday by the sale, under the hammer,
  thousands of dollars, with a prodigality that fairly startled the nation. | This young man, who has testified under oath that he bought some of the proudest nobles in all England, with job lot Of the minnows, at prices quoted from $1,0O0 to s1G0,GO0 to boom his business enterprises, bought from Lord Ashburton two years ago his estae in Wiltshire, with a rental of 1000 year. His expenditures began at once, and in few months he had re- stored many places of great historic inter- est built schools and roads, rebuilt churches, and repaired his tenants houses by the score. The main part of the estate comprises 19,OOO acres, and includes six villages. In Essex he bought an estate of J,2S0 acres fifteen miles from Cambridge, with parks, hunting preserves, race courses and
 manors by the dozen.
 All of this property is to be sold under the hammer by order of D. F. Basden. trustee in bankruptcy of the luckless pro mOter.

The Senate is Republican.

The present senate consists of forty three republicans, thirty-four democrats six populists and six silver republicans. The senate consists of ninety memebrs, and forty-six would therefore be a clear ma sority, although forty-five and the vice pres- ident would do in pinch.
 The republicans, starting with forty three that stand on the Mckinley national platform. have already secured two new senators-McComas, of Maryland, and Si- mon, of Oregon. These gains alone would give them control of the senate. This con- trol has undoubtedly been strengthened by the recent elections. A republican will be seated instead of Senator Murphy, of New York, and a similar substitution will occur in the case of Senator Smith, of New Jer- sey, who Is a democrat when the tariff question Is not before the senate. These two gains carry the republican vote up to forty-seven.
 The dispatches to date indicate the re- publicans may have carried West Virginia, where Senator Faulkner, democrat de- sires reelection. North Dakota, in which state the term of Senator Roach, a demo- crat. expires in March; Indiana, where Sen- ator Purple, a veteran democrat, battled for another term; California, the seat of Senator White, democrat, being at stake; Nebraska, where Senator Allen, populist, sought reelection. and W iscorsin, carrying with 1t the seat now held by Senator Mitchell.
 If the republicans have gained these six states. their vote will be carried to fifty one, leavin, the democrats twenty-eight. the populists five and the silver republicans six. The discrepancy of a seat is explained by the fact that the republicans gained a seat in Oregon by filling vacancy. If the republicans have carried Delaware. their vote in the s:nate will be ffty-two and the democratic strength will be re- duced to tuenty-seven. Tho combined op- position strength. so far as the currency question is concerned, would then stand thirty-eIght as against ffty-two, and even

A New Factor in Cotton.

A new element has arisen in the cotton trade In "the long ago" planters, aided and abetted by the government, both state and national, very often-too often-under estimated a crop as it was advanced to the shipment period and there were buyers who accepted such estimates; but now-a- days no one accepts government estimates except, perhaps, reversely. It would be more accurate to say that operators and large buyers disregard such estimates, promply apply terms to them that are not in any sense flattering.
 new prophet has arisen in Dixie, and his name is Niell He lives in New Or leans. He is a prophet who is not without honor in his own city, however much he may be discarded a few miles above it. Prophet Neill has become the professional estimator on the spot of the cotton crop for a consuming and suspecting world. He has put out crop figures several years, and in no season has he been by the outturn materially discredited; and if his estimate of the present crop, Il 5O0,O 900 bales, should be made good, the buyers of the future would accept his figures against these of all other estimators, single or combined. He would be invincible. And he would be right there in New Orleans ready to pro- claim the truth each fall season as it stands before his eyes on his slate
 There seems to be no way to steal that slate, or to raise up estimators who can neutralize it. Other estimators stand re- jected and scorned, not to say despised. Their outgivings are declared to be, with or without examination, ''rot' by the un- refined, and "aIl stuff' by the highly re- fined and spiritually elevated. There is but one remedy in sight-eut down the raw ma terial that is the basis of the Neill figures. Give the new prophet less to figure up. Stop his hoodoo by stopping to some extent the occasion of it. There is no other remedy. There is no other way to turn to good account the new prophet that has arisen in the commercial Isreal.

MercifuI to Dumb Animals

From the Eutaw Mirror.
 Last week while Dr. Morris, of Birming- ham, and Tom Anderson, Jr., were bird hunting, a large copper bellied moccasin snake bit very fine pointer belonging to Mr. Anderson on the nose. Dr. Morris saw it and immediately sprang to the dog caught him and sucked the poison from the wound. Then iodine was used on it and within four hours the dog was well.
