popped up a fly Hernon stole second

went to second on the throw home, and
In turn scored on a hit by Davis. The

nation steal was attempted, but the
pan was sent To third and Davis was
caught between the bases.
The Stars failed to score until the

TO THE LEGISLATURE

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Gentemen:-You have been asked by the governor how you would vote if a special session of the legislature should be called together. Some of you replied favorably to the governor, some favorably to the people, e. g., favorable to a constitutional conven- ton. To those who replied favorable to repeating the convention act the Mercury would say few words.
 Governor Johnston is playing a game of personal politics. He has reached that stage where he has all to gain and nothing to lose by antagonizing the party. He has an eye single to the United States senate and realizes that the only way to get into that body is to build a Johnston party that will put him there. If he loses this fight he merely gets what he would get if a conven- ton is caIled-if he wins he will go to the senate.
 Now, supposing the governor goes to the senate, where will he leave you? You will be out of line with your friends, out of line with your own interests and the interests of your party. The stakes are large for the governor and small for yourself You know, all of you, that the best interests of the people demand new constitution.

sCHooLBoY's UNIQUE LETTER

From the Chicago Record.
 Among the papers of Emanuel Giebel, the popular German poet has just been found a letter from a schoolboy of Luebeck, whose patience apparently was worn to a thin edge by enforced memorizing of the poets productions. The protest is as fol- lows:
 Most Respected MT. Giebel: Today our class finished learning 'Fruehlinghoffnung.' Last week five boys had to stay after school because they didn't know it, and today two got a licking because they hadn't learned it all yet, You did not think of that when you made the poem, did you? You are short poet. Schiller is the long est, but he is in the first grade The teacher says the poems are very fine, but there are so many fine poems and we have to learn them all. We want to ask you not to make any more There are too many wars. too, and we have to learn the bat ties. Geography is better, for we can a1- ways take look at the map; but the poems and the battles are the worst. Be- sides every poet has a biography and birth and death years. For you we don't have to learn a death year yet. We wish you a very long life."

Small Bills and Fractional Silver.

The director of the mint shows that the volume of money in circulation was on April greater by I'll millions than it was April one year ago; but, says the di- rector. the swelling tide of retail trade has caught the county without enough of small bills or fractional silver. Out of a total circulation amounting to 1900 millions there are only 54 millions in one-dollar bills, 8 millions in two-dollar blls, 65 millions in --iver dollars, and 76 millions in fractional -silver-in all 22S millions, out of 1900 mill .'.ons. The supply of small money is not ,.qual to the demands of trade for such money.
 No more fractional currency can be allen from S1 millions to less than z millions, and there is no law under which more can be coined. If silver dollars are coined, silver certificates are issued against them, and no hope of relief can be had in that direction. Bradstreets discusses the subject at length, and it sees only one di- rection in which something might be done, namely, by converting the large bills into notes of lesser denominations. The di- rector of the mint thinks the coinage of ten dollar gold pieces should be stopped, thus giving over the field below ten dollars to the credit currency. He also thinks that the time has come when gold must be used for the larger denominations and larger payments. The use of gold in this way would permit the drawing in of the large notes, and their conversion into small ones.
 Activity of trade is proving very trying to the present monetary system, and the government is perplexed in it's efforts to find remedy. There is too little fractional silver. and too few bills below five dollars. In other words, there is a great volume of currency, 1900 millions, comparatively little of which is available for every day uses.

the position that failure by legislature to fill a vacancy, when the legislature had been In session after the vacancy had oc- cured. is lapse that cannot be cured by gubernatorial action. The presumption is that the legislature did not want to i'll the seat, and so it has been held that the seat must remain yacar' until the legislature again meets This rule was first establish ed in 1794, when Kensley Johns came up from Delaware under such circumstances. In 1853 Samuel s. Phelps of Vermont and Tn 1854 Jared W. Williams of New Hampshire were denied seats in like manner. In 1893 three senators, from Montana, Washington and Wyoming. were kept out on like grounds. and finally Mr. CoTbett of oregon was rejected and the state went with one seat untitled until a new legislature met and elected Mr. Simon
 When MT. Quay asks for a seat next wins ter the entire question may be reopened, but long line of precedents will have to be reversed before he is seated. He is very popular among his brother senators, both republican and democratic, and the senate has not heretofore divided on party lines when considering the question involved.

MIR. REEDS TOUR
Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 Two members of the law firm in New York CThacher and Barnum) with which Mir. Reed has cast his fortunes are said to be democrats. ''I know Thacher and Bar mum we'll" said Washington attorney to- day, "and 1t would be hard to find two more radical democrats in days journey than they are However I do not suppose that they will be able to convert MT. Reed into a democrat, or that he will lose any standing in his own party by reason of his having two democratic partners. MT. Simp- son, the other member of the firm, I do not know. He is said to be old personal friend of Mir Reed, and presumably a re- publican, which would make the firm after MT. Reed joins it evenly divided politically. l am inclined to regard the 10000 a year guarantee story as bit of pleasant fiction. Certainly Mir. Reeds status as a lawyer wouldn't justify it. He hasn't been enga sed in active practice for a good many years, and his legal lore must be very rusty"

suBscRIPrIoN RATES.
Another Palmetto Outbreak.

Palmetto, in Georgia, is dark and bloody ground, and the worst of it is no one can see any way to prevent farther appeals to Judge Lynch in the cases of crimes such as Sam Hose committed. His life had been for feited, and the manner of his execution may deter some of his race from the crimes that led to his horrible death.
 Education seems to be the only remedy. The lawmakers cannot do much more than they have done; the courts are open and ready to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. Education must do the rest. It alone can teach criminally-inc blacks the nature and horror of crimes against women, and it will teach all whites the wis dom of leaving retribution to the law.
 But in the meanwhile, what can be done to render life more secure, especially the lives of defenseless women. Governor Candler mentions one thing that can be done even now. No lawyer called upon to defend criminal need avail himself of bubbles and technicalities in order to post pone sentence. His duty to his client does not demand this, and no lawyer who re- spects himself should resort to such meth ods, especially when defending a man charged with crime against women There would be few cases of mob law If all felt that punishment by the courts would be speedy and certain.
 Beyond this appeal to the lawyers, the Georgia case does not afford much promise of reforms or better methods. Perhaps af- ter all education on broad scale is about an7the hope that the situation admits of, and the work will perforce be slow, and it will be many years before the uplifting process will reach case like Sam nose. However, the public schools and the pulpit and the press, and all good and intelligent people. can, when pulling together, accom- plish @ great deal.
