Here's quotation from John
Wesley which ought to be imbcdded
in everybody mind; Condemn no
man for not thinking as you think.
Let everyone enjoy the full and free
liberty of thinking for himself. Let
every man use his own Judgment,
since every man must give an ac-
count OF himself to God. Abhor
every approach, in any kind or de-
gree, to the spirit Of persecution. If
you cannot reason or persuade q
man into the truth, never attempt to
force a man into it. If love will not
compel him to come, leave him to

Looking Backwards a Century.

When one looks not al the work of pol- tc!ans and warriors which do not endure, but at the gains in the mental and physi- cal world, the mind does not dwell upon llnotypes or locomotives or electrical wires, but upon discoveries that belong in the Harvey or Sir Isaac Newton class The discoveries of the circulation of the blood matched in the nineteenth century; but still the brave old busy century has some- thing to show for its pains and troubles
 Tine DarNirian theory of unroliing or un- folding, as applied to life and to the con- struction Of the world, has plainly come 70 stay It has come to stay to the nodiflca- ton of all great lines of thought It has won acceptance even in it's own century to such a degree that the churches accept il at least in modified form.

Luck and opportunism in White House.

President Mckinley has conducted brief and necessarily successful war-nec- essarily successful because the enemy was too weak and far spent to stand up against the great republic He has also found luck in the fact that the war produced no over honors Dewey is content to remain an ad- miral at the head of the navy, Miles did not fairly enter the field until the war had broken down, Wheeler is a southern man, Shafter's record is clouded and Roosevelt was a subaltern. No ackson or Zach ary Taylor or Grant eonfronts William Me- Kinley.
 But beyond his luck his popularity rests upon his opportunism. After twelve years of official stubbornness and bulheadedness, the country welcomed an opportunist, one who studied the will, and even the whims, of the country and tried to satisfy them. It is not so much opportunism that the country loves as it detests the ndividualism of Cleveland and Harrison; for one was as bullheaded as the other. In point of egotism or know-it-allism Harrison easily led; but in point of pure stubbornness MT. Cleveland has never had an equal in the white house. Mckinley came in with the full Ohio resolve to be an opportunist. He had held all sorts of currency and tariff views, and, like all Ohio politicians, he did not consider conviction an essential part of politics
 Whether the country can stand four more years of control without fixed poli- cies. is a question. It was glad to be rid of bullheadedness but it begins to tire of institution, and perhaps out of place in an Anglo-Saxon country. Opportunism is now up against a dreadful conduct of the war department, particularly in respect of the health and general care of the soldiers. MT. Mckinley put Ager in office and he indorses and approves all he has done by keeping him in office. Opportunism and All gerism are now working together, and the combination is not a happy nor an auspic- uous one; and the popularity of our spine less president is showing signs of dminu- tion with every prospect that the luck of the war and of unpopular predecessors will be cancelled, and the man brought down to his true deservings, which are not great in any respect.

Gambling More DeF7ora1izing Than Open Saloon

Mel Drennen has big work before him. He has work which not only requires intel Iigence, but moral courage. Birmingham presents the spectacle of an Augean stable in more than one respect. There is too much dirt, too much looseness, too much wide-openness and too much imposition up on the people in Birmingham.
 pr. Kelly is on the right line. He goes too far, but his ideas, in the main, are good. The Sunday bar room should be eliminated from the life of Birmingham, but it will be a mistake to go too far in this matter Restaurants and hotels should be permitted to supply beer and wine with meals on Sunday. But beyond this the law should not permit the sale of liquor on Sunday.
 The bar rooms in Birmingham are not half so demoralizing and degrading to the youth, or the older ones either, as are the gambling houses. Birmingham is as wide open in this latter sense as the western mining town was in the eos. They are in every block in the business center of the city, and they are wide open. Every po- hceman in town knows where they are. There are crap games, three-card monte  games and all other kinds of devices for the purpose of extracting money from those who are eager to risk their earnings upon chance. l hear that in building in Twen- tieth street one side of the upstairs hall is occupied by a justice of the peaces office and the other side by a gambling room. I hear there are more than twenty of these gambling rooms in Birmingham. The law can't stop gambling, but it can confine it to certain limits and enforce fairness and a degree, at least, of responsibility about it. In New Orleans, for instance, three gam bling houses are permitted to do business, and in other cities gambling is permitted to certain extent, provided it is carried on with decency and degree of fairness, but there is probably no city, east of the Mis- sissippi river, where there are so many wide open gambling houses as in Birming- ham, and where such efforts are made to

induce people to patronize them. If the police department is not quick in breaking up many of these and conhning others within the limits of the prescribed law, crime will increase rapidly in Birmingham. Temptations of this kind should be kept out of the way of the youth of this city.
 
 There are gentlemen gamblers and there are thieves among gamblers. The gentle man gambler who plays his game fairly Is entitled to much respect as the stock exchange broker in New York It is all species of gambling. I could never see any harm in a gentlemanly game of poker, pro- yided, those who play do not risk more than they can afford in justice to them selves and their families. Such form of gambling will always exist. Resorts where this form of sport can-be indulged in will continue to exist in Birmingham, as they exist everywhere else. But the crap games, rouge ct noir, three card monte games, wheels of fortune, and the like devices, in which there is no fairness, should be abol- ished and driven out of the city.
 Mir. Drennen will have an opportunity to take this matter in hand for, under the new order of things, the police department 
 board of aldermen.
 Mir Drennen will also have an oppor- tunity to regulate prices of quasi public concerns doing business under city fran chises. If he will enforce the dollar-gas ordinance he will do a great work for Bir ming. And he will do much better work if he will devise means by which the city can acquire the water supply of Birmng- ham. MT. Drennen is a shrewd and able business man. Let him devise a method by which the water works property can be acquired and operated by the city. Mayor Evans has done much to bring about sentiment in favor of the city's ownership of its water supply, and MT. Drennen may now be able to bring about naturalization of the proposition.

Of the changes of species already in exist enee. This. however, involves remarkable changes in thought and theories and spec ulations, and the end is not yet, and can not be foreseen. Evolution has come 10 stay. and 1t came in the nineteenth cen- tury.
 Another great revolution of the century, greater than all the labor-saving devices, which may prove curse instead of a blessing. just as the horse would be in China, where so much labor needs employ. ment-is the germ theory, whether of dis ease or health. Down to the discovery of this theory the prevention and real knowl- edge of disease stood just about where it did in the days of the first skilled physi- eians-the old Roman and Grecian days Now prevention outranks cure. Proven ton of disease is rapidly coming to the front, and the wonderful increase Of hu- man knowledge is wholly due to the quiet, patient laboratory labors of the bacteriolo- gists of this century. No one can measure the importance of this wonderful gain No one questions it's authenticity; no one can question what the glass places within the powers of the eye. What one sees one believes. It is not matter of partial dem- onstration, as the development theory necessarily is. It is demonstration in full that no one has questioned, or can suc- cessfully question.
 The two discoveries or theories, as the reader may prefer to call them must rep resent the century in the slow growth of the world. They will stand for the een- tury long after the locomotive has gone to the trash pile, and the linotype has been forgotten.

the good work in cleaning up Birmingham an improving the streets. If MT. Drennen will arrange to supply him with funds and keep this department in vigorous operation he will be blessed by the citizens
 I don't care who is made chief of police, but whoever is should be supplied funds to increase the force and should be required to guard and protect every section of this city. The residence portion is entitled to just as much protection as is the business section.
 There is another work the new mayor and board. of aldermen should give atten- tion to, and that is to provide and enforce a law that articles of consumption sold within the limits of the city should be pure There should be milk inspection, but ter inspection and beer inspection, and nothing but articles of purity for human consumption should be permitted to be sold within the city. Many cities in this country have vigorous food laws. Birming- ham should have the same. l see tine New York legislature has taken up the matter of pure beer and has passed a law that no beer except that made from pure hops anu IHdll, S1ldll De SOlu WilIlln the SldIe. The Birmingham district is a great con sumer of beer, and as long as the law per- mits the sale of beer in this district the law should permit that only the pure article can be sold
 If Birmingham is not prosperous, the bank statements are not true. I am glad to see it. We all should get rich soon. I hope to, and hope to have lots of com pany. Birmingham banks have 40 per cent. of the total deposits in all the banks in Alabama Birmingham banks have $500O,- 900 on deposit and yesterday had in their vaults and due from other banks $300O,O0O. Besides this, they have s2,OGOOOO of loans out If this is not an evidence of prosper ity, then what is prosperity?

SENATOR HANNA AND MAJOR LEE

From the Washington Times.
 Major Lee was told that beef contract was approved by Secretary Alger at the re- quest of Senator Hanna. He asked Eagan if he knew whether it was true and Eagan replied that he had been sent for by Alger, who said he had been spoken to about q contract There were two men present, but he did not know whether one was Han ma. Major Lee did not assert that his in- formation was correct, but he felt 1t was his duty to ask the question. No one can doubt that it was. Therefore there is no warrant for Senator Hanna's reference 10 "the contemptible insnuations of this man Lee"
 This man Lee' has served his country for thrty-five years, and during that time thero was never a suspicion that he was not thoroughly honest honorable and hlgh-mnded. He has won the respect of l. associates and the confidence and es- tcem of his superiors. His record is one Of which any man might De proud. Can
