MEETING POSTPONED.
The Commercial Club Committee on Jefferson
 County Exhibit.

The Jefferson county exhibit committee of the Commercial club which was to have met yesterday afternoon to formulate plans by which this exhibit scheme may be car ried to completion, postponed its meeting, subject to the call of the chairman. One or two important members were absent from the city and it was considered best not to hold the meeting.
 The object of this committee has already been fully explained in these columns. The scheme is to erect a permanent building probably on the vacant lot next to the Young Mems Christian association building in Nineteenth street, and place therein an elaborate exhibit of the resources of this county.

GORDON WOODS AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
One of the Negro Boys Sent to the Orphan
 Asylum.

Gordon Woods, one of the negro boys who was given away by Judge J. J. Banks in the circuit court and subsequently, turned over to the Alabama Colored Orphan asy- lum, at Avondale, is again in the tolls of the law.
 It is said that he escaped from the asy- lum two days after being taken in charge.
 The boy was arrested several days ago on charge of grand larceny and bound over to the grand jury. He is again in the county jail.

MeCARTIN AND FOX THE SURE THINGS This Has tho Prevailing Opinion Last
 Night. THEY MAY BE NAMED TODAY It Is Said That Chairman Stevens Pre-
 ferr0d to Resign. MIR. A. 0. LANE MAY RESIGN LATER When IL Is Thought Webb Crawford VIII Be His Successor-A Meeting of the Commis-
 sion Likely To Be Held
 Friday Night.
MIR. A. 0. LANE MAY RESIGN LATER

John M. McCartin and David Fox.
 It Is almost sure thing that these will be the two men named to fill the vaean- cies in the police commission of Birming- ham.
 The governor spent yesterday in the city. He had many callers among the politicians and many of the friends of the various would-be police commissioners.
 The governor heard them all, but refused to make any announcement as to who he would appoint or when he would make the appointment. It may, however, be stated that the appointments will be made today and that the men to be named will be McCartin and Fox.
 MT. Stevens, the present chairman of the commission, whose term has just expired, has been prominently mentioned for appointment. It was, however, learned from good authority last evening that MT. Stevens preferred to retire from the com mission, and it was understood that both he and his friends so told the governor yesterday. MT. stevens IS a clOSe personal and political friend of the governor, and his friends say that he could have been re- appointed had they so desired, but that he felt that he had done his duty in serving one term on the commission, and preferred to retire, though he had said several days ago that he would accept a re-appointment if the governor insisted upon it, but he would prefer to be relieved.
 This act on the part of Mr. Stevens left the field clear to Messers. McCartin and Fox, and the best opinion is that the mat ter will be settled today without scars and in a manner satisfactory to everyone.
 Rumor has it that Commissioner Lane will soon resign in order to become can- didate for probate judge. In the event of Mir. Lanes retirement it is probable that Webb Crawford will be appointed to fill the vacancy.
 Meeting Friday Night
 w. C.. Garrett, member of the com mission said yesterday that he thought there would be a meeting of the commits sion Friday night. He gave it as his opinion that in the event the appointments to fill the vacancies were not made in the meantime. the matter of electing a chair man would not be touched. There are cer- tain routine matters that need attention. Commissioner A. o. Lane is out of the city.

NEBRASKA was cursed with
republican corporations and ring

Minnesota. Then the people of
Nebraska got together regard
less of party names and in the
name of good state government
placed in nom nation and elected
on a cooperation platform a new
ticket as the allied forces of Min
nesota are doing this year. Re-
suit: The administration of al
lied forces made good $500, 900 of
of republican Deficiencies and on
top of that cut down state levy
tax $4,000. They reduced the
state debt to 100000. They
increased the state revenue from
fees $4,000. They gave $780,.
600 more than the republicans to
the schools. It was predicted
by the ring organs of Nebraska
just as the ide-bound daily ma
chine press of this state in 1896,
that the victory of the allied
forces would be the victory of
laWlessness and extravaganza
and that capital would be driven
from the state. The result was

Just think of the audacity OF q

issues? It is by such reasoning
las the above that our republican
brethren find the silver issue
dead. Just as though a man

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Direct legislation is an issue
foreordained to victory. It is
the key which will unlock the
gates to all reforms. It can have
no unseltish opposition and the
party which dares contend
against it will be swept aside,
Pending it's national adoption, all
other reforms must wait. It is
the keystone in the democratic
arch which the builders of the
constitution left unplaced and un-
hewn.
All the pages of The New Time
would not suffice to reprint the
arguments which are being ad-
vanced by agencies heretofore
hostile or neutral. Two will suf;
fee. The first is from the state
platform of the Democratic party
of Illinois, passed at the conven-
ton recently held at Springfield,
at which it was declared:
In the interest of a govern
ment of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people, as against
a government of Hannaism, we
declare our faith in the initiative
and referendum, and demand
that steps be taken, upon the as
sembling of our next legislature,
for proper constitutional safe
guards to secure the same.
They went a step further than
that in the direction of the re-
forms advocated by The New
Time. Withouta dissenting vote
they placed themselves on record
in this language:
Recognizing the evils thatgrow
out Of public monopolies, We
demand municipal ownershipand
control of all public franchises
and all other natural monopolies,
which of right belong to the PEG
pie.
Some good friend says they
are not sincere and asserts that
they have made this move for the
purpose of catching votes. Per.
haps so. In 1860 the republican
party was not sincere in it pro-
test against slavery, but 1868 the
slaves were free, Neither the
democratic nor the republican
party was sincere in it's advocacy
of the Australian ballot law, but
it passed the legislature, and in
spite of many defects is today
the best safeguard thrown
around the voter. Another friend
declares that the democrats are
stealing populist ammunition.
Well and good. They could not
pilfer to better advantage to
themselves or to the nation.
Leave the reform door wide open
and let them steal other issues.
There should be no toll gates on
the road Of social progress.
There is nocopyright on economic
reforms.
