Regeneration Begun.

Advices by telegraph state that Santiago
is cleaner and healthier than ever before,
and that the schools will be opened on the

case until the harbor also shall have been
purified. But the new departure has

The persistent manner in which honors
seek Colonel Roosevelt is not to be ac-
counted for on the theory of mere luck. He
IS fortunate man. but much more than a
lucky one. He is fortunate in having high
ideals of American citizenship and public
duty and In having honest convictions and
the courage of them. In addition to this he
IS independently rich and as far removed
from the necessity of playing the dema-
gogue as he is from the disposition. With
these qualities and thorough equipment
and natural aptitude for public affairs he
has proved himself to be the kind of man
whom the people trust and whom they like
10 honor. That honors should seek such a
man is credit to American politics.

ARMY SHORT OF AMMUNITIoN.
One of the Causes of the Delay in the In-
 vasion of Cuba.

From the Globe-D Democrat
 causes of delay in starting the army of in- vasion for Cuba is the insufficient supply of ammunition for the army, in which re- spect it is very much worse off than the navy. With the best efforts that the de- partment has put forth, the total stock of cartridges for the small rifles now on hand is but 10,000,O00 rounds. No military au- thority regards it as safe in such an ex- petition as is now projected for the troops to have less ammunition than 300 rounds up ammunition very much more rapidly than the old single loaders.
 Many of the national guards which have been taken into the service insist that 800 rounds per man is the minimum allowance of cartridges with which they are willing to start for Cuba. Of course, the troops re- maining at home and assigned to the im- portant duty of coast defense end reserve forces. and to the Philippines, must all have their quotas. so that on the basis of 175,OO0 men, and the minimum allowance of cartridges of 300 per man, the war depart ment will require a stock of 52,5OOOO or more than five times the present supply.
 By great energy the ammunition factories have just reached the point where they can turn out about 100000 cartridges per day, but even at this rate it will be four months before the supply of ammunition desired can be accumulated. That is an- other factor in the delay of the military expedition.

Gladstone in Westminster Abbey.

All that is mortal of the Great Commoner was yesterday laid to rest in the ancient building in which for the last 1,OoO years the sovereigns of England have been crowned, and in which, too, for a like pe- riod the historic dead of the Kingdom have been buried. The sovereigns and many men of rank, but not of achievements, were formerly laid In the old-tlme monastery but no sovereign has been buried in the building since the body of George II-was placed there and the melodies were long ago denied admission. Nor are It's doors open to many who had some claims upon 1t. either as last resting place or as place on its walls for their life stories.
 But among its illustrious dead are George Stephenson. David Livingston, Charles Dickens. Lord Tennyson and Lord Palmer ston. bust of Thackeray was placed in the building. Wadsworth sleeps among the dalesmen in Grasmere church-yard. Well lington was buried near the tomb of Nelson in St. Paurs cathedral. Sir tcalter Scott sleeps in the grounds of Dryburgh abbey. Macauley, Browning and Darwin all take their eternal rest in the abbey.
 Gladstone's body was placed in the north transept, where lie the remains of Fox and the two Pitts and Wilberforce and Can ming and Peel and ralmerston. But his old-tme rival, Dlsraeli. lies in HIghenden, and none of his co-workcrs in his long par liamentary career were buried lnythe abbey. Tory and liberal alike agreed. however, in asking the last and highest honor that could be paid to the great dead in England for the man who had bravely and conscien- tiously and nobly served his country over sixty years.

The Tennessee Convention.

The democratic state convention of Ten nessee has invariably met in Nashville. although the state contains four fine cities. all we'll equipped with halls, hotels, sa- looms. and amusements generally. But this year the executive committee decided Chattanooga on June 29. This seemed says the Nashville American like break ing one of the tenets of the party for in the history of the state there is no re- cord of a gubernatorial convention meet ing outside of Nashville. History or no history, the democrats of the state will nominate Benton McMillin for governor in Chattanooga next month.
 The esteemed American is inclined to poke fun at the Chattanooga diversion. The delegates. it says, are to be permitted to look at Lookout mountain, to go out to the encampment at Chickamauga park, if 1t doesn't break before convention day, and the festivities are to be concluded with fireworks in the evening, and a chro- lIlO SOuNeulT lOT dil WHO dlttnu.

 The Chattanooga Times does not con- sider the holding of the convention in Chattanooga as at all sacriligious, and it pledges the delegates a good time dur ing their stay in it's city, and "such re- ports of their proceedings as conventions in Tennessee have seldom been favored with" These reports are understood to refer to their acts and expenses only as delegates on the floor of the convention, because the Times expects they alone will bring more conventions to Chattanooga in the years to come.

MIssIsslPPIs NEW SENATOR

Jackson Letter in St. Louis Globe-Dem
 crat.
 It is pretty generally conceded here that the governor is going to appoint Congress- man w. " Sullivan as the successor of Senator Walthal in the very near future. MT Sullivan left Washington Friday morn ing for Jackson, and his friends here say that he was summoned by the governor that he might tender him the senatorship in person. MT. Sullivan is the youngest member of congress from this state, but stands very high in the councils of his party at Washington. He is devoted follower of Mr. Bryan and one of the most devout champions of the cause for free silver. He has always stood close to the governor, voicng his sentiments on all public ques- tions He is one of the wealthiest men in the state, perhaps, being interested in a dozen banks, and owning valuable mining property in the west, to say nothing of his plantations in the great Mississippi delta Though not officially announced. 1t may be stated with a great deal of certainty that Mr. Sullivan will be the next United States senator from the state of Missis- <sippi That he will make a good and useful member those who know him best will not for a moment question.

Woald Have Better Quality of Water Fur-

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The so-called Curse of Gold, the Crown of Thorns, etc." sink into oblivion when compared to the terrible evil which the long suffering people of Birmingham are now enduring.
 Without health, no people can be happy. The season for chills and fever is rapidly approaching. consequently it behooves the people of Birmingham to protect themselves against the germs of disease. For two weeks past our drinking water has been in terrible condition, such that favors the rapid development of disease germs. The water is drugy and cloudy; small particles of roots and vegetable matter can be seen floating in the glass and yet chemist who has examined the water tells us it Is whole some. While government assayist pro- nounce the water unwholesome.
 Steps should be taken at once, by the proper authorities to force the water com- pany to give us clean water. free from de- eayed vegetable and animal matter.
 If the city authorities refuse to act the people have another remedy. Refuse to pay the water rent and when the company turns the water off apply to the courts for an injunction and also to annul the char ter. N
 Steps must be taken to protect the health of the city. Very truly,
 M. M. ULLMAN. Birmingham. May 24
