Alabama Convention.

There can be no doubt OF the improv-
ed prospect of Alabama having new
constitution. The convention held in
Montgomery did away with the objec-
tion Of many to the framing Of con-
stitution The decision reached was
that the constitution, when drawn
shall not disfranchise white men al.
though illiterate; that the tax rate
shall not be lowered that the capital
shall not be moved from Montgomery
that the law as to corporations shall re-
main unchanged, and that the constitu-
tion shall be submitted TO the people
for approval This platfrom meets the
demand Of the white people OF the
State and enhances the chances of the
successful result Of the coming vote
on the question Of holding constitut'
tional convention. 1t will perpetuate
the rule of the white man in Alabama
provided, of course, the franchise clause
to be adopted with that end in view be
in accordance with the provisions OF
the fourteenth amendment Of the
United States constitution. 1t will
restrain taxation to its present limits
it will keep the rein on corporate de-
velopment, and maintain the capital
at Montgomery Altogether. it is
plain that the cause has gained greatly
by the action of Wednesday. Noble

for the occasion: How do you explain,
Mr.. Editor, that the people Of this
StateAre so greatly interested in this
new method, as alleged by the primary

Are not they only interested who have
ultimate designs upon Senatorial offices?
What have federal Senators to do with
local State affairs, and how is the Local
vote concerned in the election Of ma

State Of Virginia should, in the future
as in the past, leave the choice and
election of their L S. Senators to their

Twice a year, in the first week OF
kpril and October the Chinese feed
their dead. They think, very sensibly,
that once their friends and relatives
leave this mortal coil they ought to
stay away from this world, and to pre-
vent their return they faithfully trans
NIT TO them all the necessaries of life.
1t has been discovered by oriental wis
dom that the way to transmit sery-
ants, songs, plays, books and money is
to manufacture them in paper and
burn them. But actual eatables must
be carried to the grave
The Chinese are not stingy, and wag-
on loads of roasted chickens, pigs,
ducks, various sweetmeats and fruits
are taken TO the cemeteries. The food
is piled before each grave amid burn
ing red, carrot shaped candles and joss
sticks. Then the living PROSTATE them
selves before the dead and beg them
to rise up and enjoy themselves. Chi.
nese wines are then sprinkled literally
over the graves. while some graves re-
ceiye boxes of cigars and packages OF
cigarettes
But you must not suppose that the
eatables are left on the graves. Oh,
no! That would be throwing too much
temptation in the way of heather
tramps. In about two hours it is be-
lieved that the ghosts got the essence
of the eatables conveyed to them, and
then the deyotees gather up the offer
ings and carry them home again to
feed to their own material bodies. But
the cigars and cigarettes are burned
on the graves.

Directory Fiends.

A man with a grip entered down
town drug store and asked permission
to look at the city directory He was
so long about his search that one of
the clerks got to watching him, and
not without results. The man was APP
parently looking through the business
indexes at the back of the book, and
whenever he came to a page he fancied
he cut it out with deft movement,
barely detectible The clerk called the
proprietor, and between them they saw
him cut no less than five pages from
the book.
Then the proprietor beckoned to a
policeman just outside the window and
went up to his customer.
Got through with the book?" he
asked
Eyes, quite" was the reply. Much
obliged. Is there any charger"
yes; the usual CHARGE" said the
drug store man. Eight dollars,
please"
The man looked at the proprietor,
took in the policeman and without a
word produced his wad and settled.
''This is not the first time people
have mutilated my directory" said
the druggist in relating the incident,
''but it's the first vandal l caught at it.
Instead of copying the few names he
wants he preferred to cut out whole
leaves. Well. he paid for his fun

one must be married, to be married to
person whom one need not treat with
respect unless one feels like it.-De-
