 see there is quite fight on between the board of aldermen and some of the po- lice commissioners. The board of aldermen want control of the police force I don't think many of the citizens of Birmingham would care who had control of the police force, provided we had enough policemen to cover the town. As understand it, there are but thirty men on the police force of Birmingham-but fifteen men on duty at one time. It is impossible for that number of policemen to properly patrol the city, and, as consequence, the residence DOT tions of Birmingham are practically with out the protection of police officers. Bur glaries, robberies and hold-ups are nightly occurrences. Something should be done at once to extend the work of the police force, and the residence portions of Birmingham are entitled to protection. The people of these sections don't care much whether they get 1t from a board of aldermen or from a police commission. It is certain, however, the people will demand that something be done, and at once.

REED ON THE FLOOR
Correspondence of the Louisville Courie Journal

Correspondence of the Louisville Courier
 Journal.
 Reed makes a superb leader on the floor. He showed that in the two congresses of which Crisp was speaker. He was as saw age as Thad Stevens, as brilliant as Blaine and as memorable as Randall. Not even Ben Hill was more feared than h.e.-''ERse9e are plenty of masarun'hfs own side who hate hjii991rrr; but there is nobody to bell the cat. There was constant talk of revolting dur ing the two sessions of the present con- gress, but nothing came of 1t. Old Joe Walker is the only republican who de- nounced him to his face; but then Old Joe is a privileged character. His defeat will give Reed chance to reorganize the com- mittee on banking and currency. Brosius, the head of those reelected, is a very able man; but he is in wretched health, and Reed may appoint DalZell to the head of the committee. He is the best man for the job on the republican side after Dingley. Resides he is able enough to defend on the floor any bill the committee brings in. That a banking and currency bill will be passed by the Fifty-sixth congress there is no doubt At least dozen of the eastern democrats will vote for such a bill in order to get the currency question out of the way of the next democratic convention. No doubt Reed looks upon the defeat of Fa- ther Walker as providential.

NOT AS FUNNY AS THEY LOOK

From the New York Times.
 American readers are often amused atthe oddity of Chinese names. Undoubtedly Il Hung Chang and Ii Pc Tai and Chi Lung look very funny to our eyes, and we Nare apt to think that they are arranged in the same order and have the same significance as given names and surnames among our selves-which is not the case. Perhaps it is only the way we print their names that arouses our mirth; the Chinese themselves do not print them so. Suppose some of our own names were printed thus: Sha Fter, Al Ger, Mack In Ley. An Sin itself does not look more peculiar. ..tsf

oUrsPoKEN FOR WHITE RULE

The following letter from Governor Jo- seph F. Johnston was printed in the New York Herald of Thursday
 To the Editor of the Herald:-
 Every attempt to submit the people of any state or locality in the, south to the domination of the negro will end in revolu- tion, either peaceful or bloody. It Is best for both races that the white people should control. Any interference by the federal government in the internal affairs of the states can only excite resentment and in- crease discord.
 The people of North Carolina and South Carolina are as capable of attending to their own affairs as the people or any other state. It would seem to be quite as proper to consider whether the federal gov ernment should not interfere in Illinois. The expectation of federal interference has brought enough disaster to the colored peo- ple and it seems to me that 1t Is about time for 1t to be understood that all the virtue, intelligence and patriotism or the nation are not confined to any section.

The Insane of the State.

The report of the trustees of the Bryce Insane hospital shows that there are about 5000 unfortunates who should be placed under state care, not including those who although mentally defective, are al- together harmless. But the Bryce hospital not care for more. It is overcrowded. It really contains 400 more than can be com fortably sheltered and cared for. The trustees call attention to the fact that the state has not made an appropriation for extensions or improvements "in number of years" and yet it is well known that the number of brain and nerve defectives is steadily increasing in the state. Public safety is involved, for goodly proportion of such detectives should for the good of the public be safely kept. But exact lines fore follows that there are all kinds of mental detectives in the hospital at Tusca- loosa The superintendent aims, however, to make room for the dangerous by dis charging from time to time the harmless. It is expected that the counties will care for the harmless, and Superintendent Searcy urges the extension of state super vision to all work of that nature in the counties
 At the end of the fiscal year, October l, there were in the state institution 517 white men, 51O white women 169 colored men, and 2OS colored women, making a total of 1899. But of this number 116 were at home lon trial" Of the 1,2Ss actually in the hospital on October 1, all but forty-one were sup ported by the state. The number admitted during the year was 5O9, and ninety appli- cations were declined. The mortality is about sixty-five in each thousand.
 The state pays $2 a week per capita. This amounted to $129,246 last year. The hospital owns about 1,2O0 acres of land, all enclosed. The garden covers over hun dred acres, and the field crops about four hundred acres. Over 300 patients go out every suitable day to do something in an industrial way" but nearly one hundred men are employed on the farm in addi- ton. About one hundred colored patients have been colonized two miles from the main buildings. Dr. Searcy considers the experiment very satisfactory in every re- spect.
 The tables of the report contain many interesting facts. There are more married patients than single ones, and more be- tween the ages of 30 and 40, than any other decade of life. Mobile county has in the hospital 13O patients Jefferson 97, Mont gomery 62, Tuscaloosa 55, Madison Az and Dallas S4. No other county has thirty pa tients in the hospital.

A GREAT AND ovERMAsTERING ISSUE

From the New York Journal. s
 Whether the war will raise any question of sufficient importance to turn public at- tention away from domestic problems re- mains to be seen. Colonel William J. Bry- an in an interview, said: .aaa
 ''It is not in the least likely that the war will raise an issue of sufficient importance to turn public attention away from domes- tic problems"
 But the war will, and already has, raised national issues of equal importance in the minds of the people with domestic prob lems and it is necessary that the demo- cratic attitude be in harmony with the pop ular will on national as well as on domestic issues.
 As the Journal expressed the situation in an editorial Tuesday morning, the democ- racy has the great fight to continue against the forces of special privilege, corruption and greed. It cannot afford to weaken its influence and diminish it's power for good by adopting attitudes in opposition to na- tional progress and development which Is unpopular, undemocratic and essentially wrong.
