BRUTAL TREATMENT.

Reports come from the south
eastern part of town Of horse
that has been locked up in a pas
ture in that section for some
months, and it is said that there
is practically no feed for the poor
brute TO live on, and that the ami
NAL is on the brink of starvation.
AS 10 who the owner OF the
horse is, we are unable to say,
but someone who has power to
act in this case, should immedi-
ately look after the matter, and
see that the poor animal is taken
care of, and the owner punished
for cruelty TO animals.
A person who will put an
animal in such a place, to gradu-
ally starve to death, should be
made to pay the penalty of the
crime, and the authorities should
look into the case at once.

There is yet absolutely no legisla-

Lumber Advancing in Price.

Albany, New York, is a great lumber market. Western and Canadian goods meet there, and so do New York and New England buyers; and a recent dispatch from that market center states that all grades of lumber have been advanced from S1 to $1O a thousand, the average rise being s a thousand feet. It is almost im- possible the dispatch adds, ito get lumber shipped from western parts at any price, and dealers fear a big shortage in stocks for the winter and spring trade" The dealers at Albany are compelled to provide for their lumber trade against the coming of freezing weather, involving as it does the closing of canal and river and great lakes. Railroad transportation from dis tant lumber-producing points would be prehibitory.
 It would be prohibitory because New York and New England can be supplied all the year with yellow pine from the south. And in fact the entire movement at Albany is notice to the south that its lumber is needed, and that, too at ad- vancing prices. It is difficult to make the people of this section properly appreciate their lumber. They have seen the trees standing where they do all their lives, and no one has wanted those trees, and now that the time is fast coming when those trees will be wanted at good prices, they can scarcely believe the change is real There is not tree in the south that is not annually increasing in value There is not a marketable tree that win not be wanted by dealers in less than ten years. The country is fast becoming lumber-h hungry, and the south must chiefly appease its ap- petite.

 Has river, which empties into the Mis-
 .ppi is forty feet. The canal runs from
 aieaso to Joliet on the Illinois river. The epgineering difficulties were mostly found in the neighbolhood of Joliet, where the fall in the stream is very great. Then, too, at that point the difference in the level of the lake, about thirteen feet, must be controlled.
 It is believed that the canal will purify the filthy Chicago river. and that the lake will soon be relieved of all sewage im- purities; but what effect will it have upon the level of Lake Michigan? The flow through the canal wia be very great, but the United States engineers express the opinion that it will not materially affect the level of the lake, although the canal will be deep enough to float vessels draw ing twentytwo feet of water, and wide enough to permit two such vessels to pass each other.
 The navigation of the canal by deep-sea boats depends upon the improvement of the rivers between Joliet and the sea. This work will not be done by Chicago, but Chi ease will doubtless ask congress in due season to improve those rivers. Chicago really proposes to load ea-going vessels, some of which will go by the great lakes and a canal, and some by the drainage canal and the Mississippi, to the sea. Chi cago's pluck in the building of the great drainage canal deserves to be crowned by the navigation now contemplated, and in the years to come it doubtless will be. A great nation and plueky city can &C., complish almost anything.

What is the CompIaint?

All sorts of talk has been indulged in re- gently about freight observation-disclosures against Birmingham and resolutions in favor of q Georgia railroad commission law" and laws to control the railroads have been adopted General hurrah anti-railroad talk has been indulged in and railroad attorneys have talked back against drastic railroad commission laws. But so far as The Age Herald sees it, from all the facts presented to the public, there is no good reason to call it forth. What is the trouble? Where in is their discrimination? What have the railroads done-what are they dong-to call forth all these resolutions? Who is complaining, and of what specific rates or causes do they complain? Railroads are entitled to the same rights as any other class of corpora tions or any class of peo- pie.
 Have there been any complaints on the part of Birmingham shippers to the present railroad commission? So far as The Age Herald has seen, the recently organized Freight and Transpora ton Bureau" of Birmingham has set forth no specific charges of unjust conduct on the part of the railroads entering Birmingham. Yet the cry goes up for the power to control the railroads and to make their rates for them. Justice is justice. If there is cause for complaint, let it be stated and give the railroads opportunity to remedy it. As a rule the managers of railroads are broad minded, fair and just men. Their inter- ests and the interests of the merchant and manufacturer are dentical. One must prosper by the aid of the other. It is to the interest of each to work with the other in peace and to the prosperity of both.
 If the railroads are throttling Birming- ham in any way, let us find out where. Bring it before the managers of the rail- roads. In ninety-nine cases out of an hun dred they will remedy it. If not bring it before the present commission. If that commission fails to obtain justice, then ex- tend the law to point where justice can be obtained. But railroads are as much en- titled to fair and just treatment as are merchants or individuals.
 Let the matter be properly and intelli- gently argued. The columns of The Age Herald are open to all who write intelli- gently and briefly.

 Let a girl enjoy having everything light blue in her bedroom as long as she can; after she is married she will say less about things matching.
 An Atchison woman hasn't had a vaca- tion this year, so this week she will use bakers bread and not bake.
 An Atcihison old girl received a telegram that a boy baby had been born to her sis ter. "Oh, dear!" she said when she read it, "T know he will go swimming and get drowned"
 It will be discovered that tine only foun- dation for the usual talk of romance" in a womans life is that she sits and looks out in the dark when she should be alarming stockings.
 An Atchison woman has been up every night for a week with a sick child. Still she is envied by neighbor whose children are grown up and stay out late at night.
 If a woman can bake good bread she has as much right to the word "artist" as woman who paints a bad sunset.

DfsEYFUS' FUPUkE
Will Sock to Win d cate His Honor After His
 Pardon

From the St Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Paris, September 16.-After Dreyfus is pardoned next Tuesday he will be at lib- erty to pursue, as a freeman, the vindica- ton of his honor, which no pardon can give. The court of cessation will then be open to him for quashing the Rennes yer demonstrating his innocence have been col lected. The prisoner himself is unable as yet to declare his intentions in this re- speet, but his family and friends, in an- nouncing the withdrawal of the appeal to the military court of revision, at the re- quest of the government, affirm their pur- pose never to rest until the rehabilitation of the injured man is complete.
 The present solution of the problem is, on the whole, the best possible. It is ne- cessitated by the deplorable state of the prisoners health, which renders his sur vival of a long term of imprisonment dur ing the legal proceedings impossible. There fore, Dreyfus will accept as clemency what really belongs to him as a right.
 The French public, by one of those strange revulsions of feeling common in this country, accepts this sequel to the Rennes trial not only without protest, but with positive approval. The anti-Dreyfus party fondly imagine that it ends the whole affair, that it stops foreign criticism and insures a great and glorious success for the exposition of 1900.

LONGING

James Russell Lowell. Of all the myraid moods of mind
 That through the soul came thronging, Which one was eer so dear so kind,
 So beautiful as longing? The thing we longed for that we are
 For one transcendent moment Before the present poor and bare
 Can make its sneering comment e,.,, .,' ] Still through our paltry stir and strife
 Glows down the wished ideal, And longing molds in clay what Life
 Carvos in the marble Real; To let the new life in, we know
 Desire must ope the portal; Perhaps the longing to be so
 Helps make the soul immortal. Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will With our poor earthward striving; We quench it that we may be still
 Content with merely living; But. would we learn the hearts full scope Which we are hourly wronging Our lives must climb from hope to hope And realize our longing. An, let us hope that to our praise
 Good God not only reckons The moments when we tread His ways, But when the spirit beckons- That some slight good is also wrought Beyond self-satisfaction, T When we are simply good in thought,
 Howe'er We fail in action.

Fierce Fighting in Illinois.

The slaughter of seven negroes at Car tervile is but part of a long conflict be- tween white union miners and black non union miners. The scene of the slaughter was in Williamson county, not far from Cairo. Carterville is about one hundred Springfield neighborhood. All the miners of Illinois are coal miners, good share of the state containing seams of coal.
 It is not known that any of the negroes q Cartervile were Alabama negroes. So far as is known no negro miners of this district went to Williamson county. They was at the time disturbed district. The questions involved at Carterville as at Pana are of a race nature as well as of an organization nature, and there can be no peace while operators retain black non-un- ton workers.
 The Carterville battle is chiefly impor- Illinois is quite as ready to resort to the gun as tine white man in Georgia. Race as- sertion and race action is met by force in the one state as it is in the other. This Is unfortunate. but it seems to be deep rooted, and until white managers and op- orators begin to recognize the situation and live up to it, trouble of the Carterville sort will be repeated, to the damage in other lands of the standing of the country and it's diseredit among many well-meaning people at home.

TENNESSEE COAL AND IRON

From the New York Press.
 Everybody not on the inside is amazed at the rise in the price of Tennessee Coal and Iron The story of Farmer Scott making over S175,O0O unquestonably is true l know a small speculator in the street who bought 1000 shares at 70, went west on a hunting trip and now has $5O000 to his credit Others who tried to manipulate the stock have lost everything. Those who sold it short are buried in very deep graves. My old friend Satterwhite bought it at 13 and II and has made half a million by sitting still
 Tennessee Coal and Iron is strong be- cause it is in big hands and is making $25, 900 day. In comparison with other in- dustrials its capital stock in proportion to its earnings is but drop in the bucket. The Hanover National bank is behind it. J. Pierpont Morgan is behind it, and the Carnegie Steel company is trying to buy it. Federal Steel has an outstanding capi- tai off, in round numbers, $1Oo Oeo GOO; Ameri- can Steel and Wire, $s5 900 900; Republic Iron and Steel, $55, ,OOO O3O; United States Leather, $115,OO0,O00; Continental Tobacco, $s2, GOO 900; American Tobacco company, S4a O00 900; National Tube company, $55 O00,- 000 American Bicycle company, sos 900 GOO; American Hide and Leather, $70,000 000; Un- ion Steel and Chain, $60 GOO; Carnegie Steel S250, 900 900, etc. The capital of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company is $21,- 0o0 000 and its earning over 900 a year. Little wonder that its shares are booming Satterwhite says they are going to 200.

Iron Supplies Very Deficient.

The conditions of the iron and steel mar kets stand unchecked in any way except by the limits of production. Capacity is strain ed to the utmost, and the record of 13,5OO,- coo tons will be approached, but the coun- try is consuming iron at the rate of 14,0O0,- 600 tons year, or at least desiring that much Consumers are naturally anxious. Those that have secured supplies covering this year are becoming anxious as to next year. All are coming to see that produc- ton of pig iron cannot be extended in any short space of time. It is a matter of large preparations, and much time is needed. Small mills are being blown in, and some large mills are in course of construction, notably the new Lorain-mill of the Federal Steel company the Youngstown mill of the Republic company, the new mills of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company; but most of the new mills will not be in opera tion until next year, and most of them are to be steel mills. Such mills will not re- lieve the demand for pig iron. Pig iron must be made before steel can be made. There is in other words, no prospect of relief in the direction where it is most need ed.
 When capital reaches the conclusion that the best investment in the country consists in the building of blast furnaces in this district, we will then see an expansion that will please buyers and afford relief among consumers of iron and steel, who are sorely tried by the situation Machine shops and agricultural implement factories, as well as bridge makers and railroads. are all puzzled and troubled over the situation.

Chieaqo's Drainage Canal.

Many read or hear about the canal that is to carry the sewage of Chicago to the Mississippi river, but few stop to ascer- tain Chat it is much the hugest engineering work in course of construction on the American continent; that it's period of building will cover ten years. and that its cost will aggregate fully $S2, GOO 900. Ground was first broken on September 8, 1892, and 1t is now hoped to turn the water of Lake Michigan into it on the 1st day of next September. It will not however, be com plete at that time The work on it has never slaclened since 1899, and the most improved machinery has been utilized es- pecially in the dredging required. Much of this machinery was invented and con structed for this particular work. The cost exceeds original estimates because more rock excavation has been done than was originally contemplated and because channel thirteen miles long had to be built for an irregular prairie stream, known as rhe Des P1aines river. But the increased cost has been largely met by taxation. Fully one-half of the total cost has been or will be collected in taxes.
 Originally no one thought of navigation in connection with tine canal It was de- vised to carry the sewage of Chicago. so that the fake from which the city's water supply is drawn would not become contam- mated. The people of Chicago long --N

 General Alger has been a candidate for a little over four months. When his can didacy was first announced he stated that he would not go into any unseemly fight for the office, and it is believed that he be- came convinced that something of that kind would result if his candidacy was pressed to the test
 It Is hinted that Governor Pingree has for some days known of the generals de- cision, and that it was a fit of the blues consequent on this knowledge being given out on his recent return from Maine that caused him to announce that he would re- tire from public life.
 General Ager refuses himself to discuss the matter from any point of view, but his business associates concede the accuracy of the announcement.
