Dsvine Explains Matters.

1nl6I levine, VINO was present. Wd-
asked before a vote was taken, &c
explain the needs of a station in the
Fourth precinct. The chief stated that
the building would cost more than had
been intended because of the fact that
all kinds of building material has gone
up in price since 1893, when the first
estimate was made.
Again, it had been found necessary to
make changes in the plans in order tc
accommodate the increased amount OF
apparatus that in his judgment would
Chief Devine explained at some length
what he thought was needed and then
Robertson got the floor.
Saw Something Peculiar.
The member from the Fifth thought
he saw something peculiar in the trans
action. Robertson wanted to know
how much apparatus would be neces-
sary but Chief Devine had not made
any figures on this feature. He finally
estimated that the equipment would
cost in the neighborhood of $500 and
that about $500 per year would be
necessary TO maintain il.
When a vote was taken on the ques-
ton of referring to the fire and police
committee it was lost and the ques-
ton came on the proposition to award

wanted to know whether or not this
was the same firm that had the joint
building contract.
Tuddenham Gets Work.
He was informed that it was and then
said that he didn't consider the COM
pany reliable. He therefore moved that
the contract be let to the next lowest
bidder, who was w. ]. Tuddenham,
councilman-elect from the Fourth.
There was difference of but $3.50 be-
tween Tuddenham and Bowman. Howe
seconded the motioon and it was put
without debate.
In explaining his vote against the
award Diehl said that he voted in the
negative because he knew Tuddenham
couldn't finish the work before he took
his seat as councilman. He thought il
would be against the interests of the
councilman-elect to give him the job
because the law forbids a councilman
taking any hand as a contractor in city
works. Tuddenham got the contract,
however, by a vote of nine to four, Cal
lister and Margetts being absent.
Robertson In a Row.
A lively tilt between Robertson and
President Barnes was next in order.
Somebody moved that the fire chief be
authorized to prepare a suitable con-
tract with Tuddenhan. There was no
roll call vote but the noes were so faint
that the ayes clearly had it. President
Barnes so decided and then Diehl asked
for a roll call. The chair decided that a
roll call was not necessary and Robert
son, taking up Diehl's fight. insisted
that it was

east of the city for the benefit of All

that its proposed new buildings on the

The council last night made more ado

came before the body. The original
estimate was that the outside cost of

THE MARDI GHAS RIVALRY pm the Mobile Register.

We observe that Birmingham is to have a Mardi Gras celebration. This is very good, and we hope that it will be well attended and artistically successful. The people of the south have too few public holidays, and, as rule, they take their pleasures rather sadly but the carnival offers a chance to change from gravity to gaiety, and we are pleased that Birmingham will repeat this year her effort of the last. We do not understand the spirit with which the man. agers of the Birmingham entertainment re- gard the old established festivals in Mobile and New Orleans. It seems in bad taste for the youngster to issue posters reviling the originators of this form of public amusement; yet such posters are issued and spread before the public, representing both New Orleans and Mobile as asleep while Birmingham alone is alive to the import ance of celebrating Mardi Gras This in addition to being in bad taste,, as coming from a sister city, is untrue. Mobile will spend near twenty thousand dollars for her carnival this year, a third more than has usually been spent, and will give an enter tainment superior to any ever seen here. We have no reason to believe New Orleans has relaxed her exertions to attract patron age or to deserve it.

three parts into which the court Is divided. The court soon decided that enough new evidence" had been discovered to justify it In reviewing the proceedings which resulted in the life sentence; and the court is now engaged in a review or revision of the case. !, nile the case in its present form Is of an appellate nature, yet witnesses are heard and other testimony taken; but the present proceedings do not constitute second trial The present proceedings are olrected toward a determination of that very very issue-whether or no Dreyfus shall have a new trial. and if so, whether it shall be before a civil or military court. It will thus be seen that the case is peeu- liar and probably historic; and the best of its latest features consist in the increasing tendency in the chamber of deputies and the French people to let justice take it's course. Perhaps in the long run Captain Dreyfus will be justly treated, and the re- public escape the dangers that have at times confronted it alike from popular agi- tation and from the army. Time is appar- enty bringing about a conclusion that 1t one time seemed impossible.

The Nicarauqa Canal.

The Nicaraguan canal bill is having a stormy experience in the senate. It has encountered the opposition of Storm King Tillman, who does not like the Maritime Canal company. Not many people do, but the country demands an inter-oceanic canal, and the Maritime company may be the best and quickest means to that end.
 There are two things that are indsputa- ble-public sentiment demands canal, and canal would in the long run be a good investment. Captain Crowninshield, in the Century Magazine, contends that after expenditure of $12O. GOO, the tolls would suffice to maintain a canal and provide handsome dividends. These facts in rela- tion to the Suez canal fortify such a con- clusion:
 ''The par value of the Suez canal shares is 300 francs. Last April they were quoted in Paris at 35lS francs. The shares of the Suez canal purchased for the British gov ernment by the astute Disreali, for which he paid $19,0000 900, are now worth the enor- nous sum of $123 ,000 900, or much more than the entire original cost of the SueZ canal it. self The operating expenses are probably less than per cent. of it's earnings so that from a gross income of about $14,00O,0o0 it is able to divide among it's shareholders nearly $13000,OO
 But even if there were doubts as to im- mediate returns-there are none as to ul- timate use-an inter-oceanic canal should be built; and no section of the country is more interested in the construction of such Tillman is not helping either the cotton planter or the cotton manufacturer when he obstructs the passage of a bill designed to prepare the way for the work of actual construction

Pennsylvania Treatment Needed.

In a river and harbor bill there must, m these logrolling days, be certain proportions observed among appropriations, each state being charged with certain amount of work Alabama has been perhaps fairly dealt with as things usually go, in the cases have been exceptionally treated throughout the history of Improvements of our rivers and harbors. The Monongahela river was one of those cases, and Cleveland harbor is about to be another. And there are others. And the Warrior river is, strictly speaking, one of the exceptional cases. To say that the Warrior improve ment is on level with that of the average river improvement is simply to ignore well known facts It is on a level with the Mo- nongahela river improvement, and it should be improved as thoroughly and as rapidly as the upper reaches of that river were Slackwater navigation is all that Is wanted and it is wanted for a possible outturn of two millions of tons of iron and probably twelve millions tons of coal. This would be a doubling of present production only, and such doubling is sure to occur in the first ten years of slackwater navigation in the Warrior.
 Senators Morgan and Pettus understand the situation. They live on the Alabama river, but that fact does not lessen their interest In and knowledge of the mineral district of the state, and of its great need of water route to the sea. They can pro- cure exceptional action in the Warrior river -an improvement equal to that granted to the Monongahela. Mineral Alabama looks to them for help in this matter.

The man who puts yroper estimate upon his vote and who recognizes it as an honest duty to pay his taxes will not be delinquent as to the poll tax Others will not pay 1t, no matter what the legal re- striction is, and in order to poll the vote of such persons political parties pay the head tax for them. And so the way is pre- pared to other forms of bribery and to the worst forms of political corruption.
 It is needless to go into details, for, as we have said, Virginia tried it and became so thoroughly disgusted with the abuse of the system that the head tax as prerequi- site to voting was long ago abolished. Ala bama may well profit by virginia's experi- enco
