Financial Center of the State.

In yesterdays issue of The Age-Herald
1t was shown that Birmingham has become
the successor of st. Stephens, Tuscaloosa,
and Mobile as the financial center of the
state What they in turn once were to the
state Birmingham is now. Here are found
larger deposits, larger daily transactions
over the counter, larger collections larger
blocks of exchange, than can elsewhere be
found in the state.
Based upon minerals from the bowels of
the surrounding hills, the products of this
district are worth this year more than the
cotton crop of the state. When this iron is
transformed into steel, and the steel into
manufactured goods-when an export trade
in coal becomes possible through the OPEN
ing of the Warrior river, the basis of money
operations in this town will be correspond
ingly enlarged The basis is broad, last
ing and promising; and so is the position Of
this city in the state. There is more water
in Mobile, more politics in Montgomery,
more history in Tuscaloosa, more spindles
in Huntsville, more cotton in Selma, but
there is more money and money transac-
tions in Birmingham than in any other town
IN the state: and the time is fast coming
when Birmingham will not be outranked
dn this respect by many towns in the south.
In the race for prominence in this re-
snect. this town starts well equipped. Its
banks are strong and excellently managed
Every needful institution is here ready to
answer all legitimate demands, and Bir-
soingham's growth as a money center will
be commensurate with its industrial pro-
gress.

THE IslMIGRATIoN PROBLEM

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press (Rep0.
Oh, for some prosperity in Russia, Aus
tria and Italy, Great Britain and Germa-
ny and the Scandinavian states are pros
pering industrially and commercially like
ourselves, and their people, whom we would
gladly welcome as immigrants, are mostly
STAYING at home. But from those first
named administration, taXridden,
impoverished and squalid-there yet pours
upon our coast a stream of squalid, igno-
rant, superstitious and anarchy-loving hu-
mainly, which we would be only too glad
to have remain at home. The Lodge i'm
migration bill will come up again when
congress meets, and if every member of
that body could be made to appreciate the
evils inflicted on the country by the influx
of such unassimilable multitudes, it would
pass by a rousing majority.

The Nebraska Campaign.

Nebraska was formerly as strongly re-
publican as Iowa In proportion 10 oopula-
ton. A majority exceeding 5000 was not,
ten years ago, unusual, although the vote
did not then much exceed 100000. Popu-
lisrn took it out of the list of republican
states six years ago. In 1894 the democrats
aud poulists elected Governor Holcomb by
s.2O2 plurality. Two years later, Mr.. Bryan
carried the state by 1885 plurality In
1897 the fusion candidate for judge of the
supreme court had 1883 plurality and last
year Governor poynter, fusion. carried the
state by 2721 plurality. There is a tendency
in former republicans to go back to the re-
publican party.
If the state be carried this year by the
fusion candidate Tor Judge of the supreme
court. it will be a marvellous tribute to
Mr.. Bryan's skill in blending democracy
and populism. and also to his magnetism

Welcome /! WeIcOme!! welcome III!

The city of iron and smoke welcomes to-
day the great commander who has handled
the one and been in the other under other
and more trying circumstances When
cervera made a desperate dash for the
liberty of the wide sea- he directed all his
vessels to concentrate their fire upon the
Brooklyn. and the iron hail was hurled
thick and fast about the sea-dog that Br-
mingham welcomes today with enthusiasm
and unanimty. Democrat, republican and
populst alike admire the hero of Santiago
and will assist in welcoming him to Ala
bama today.
This welcome is in part due to admiration
for the man. which is expressed in all parts
of the country, and in part to the hel1ef
that he has not been fairly treated by the
administration and by clique in the navy
department. While all want to greet the
officer who held chief command in the most
brilliant naval victory of modern times, all
also want to assist in an assertion of his
rightful historic claims.
But there is not today time enongh for a
reopening of the old issue. All we can DO
today is to decorate the town, to turn out
en- masse' and to shout until shouting be-
come physically impossible. This is the kind
of greeting that birmingham proposes to
give Admiral Schley today. We will dish
it out with big guns, with brass instru-
ments, with horns, and best of all with hui
man throats and human faces. Let every
man, woman and child turn out today FIJI
the streets until they will not hold another
person. Brace your throat muscles, and
await the note of coming from Woodlawn.

Dneninn Day of the Fair.

Chairman Caffee and Secretary Rountree
have toiled in season and out of season,
against a sea of perplexitles. under cir
cumstanees that would have disheartened
less brave and experienced managers, and
they will have the satisfaction today of be-
ing able to open the fair under the happiest
auspices and in great form. Too much
praise cannot be accorded to the managers
of the fair, and all of them will agree that
Secretary Rountree deserves high praise.
No one is better adapted to the work of
organization than he. No one knows how
to present it's advantages better than he
does The Fair association has been very
fortunate in it's selection of officers from
President Caffee down.
Alabama has witnessed many previous
fairs, but never one that presented so many
attractions as the present one does. None
had such line of county exhibits as this
fair will disclose today. None held so
many fine cattle, so many fast horses.
None set off so many fireworks as this fair
will and perhaps we should add that none
in Alabama ever had such a diversified
Midway as the fair will present.
If the fine autumn weather should be
continued to the end of the ten days pc
Rod, more people will pass through the fair
gates than ever passed through such gates
in this state. And in this connection The
Age-Herald desires to suggest that this
town and valley would do well to visit the
fair in its first days, before the greater
rush of people renders sightseeing less en-
joyable. 1t is duty We owe to the men
who have toiled night and day to make the
fair all that a state fair should be- 1t is a
trip that all should take, because within
the gates they can what great state
produces. All its varied resources will be
on exhibition, and in the Midway there will
be some resources that did not spring from
the soil-some exotics from otner lands. All
in all, there will be much that will afford
both instruction and entertainment.

1t contained the news of his daughters
death. With that in his possession he had
thought first of his duty-the welfare of his
men.
Colonel Taylor, General Lees adjutant
general, tells an aneedc'se which brings to
light peculiar phase of the confederate
leaders character.
HE had" said Colonel Taylor, " great
dislike for reviewing army eommundca-
tions,s which was so fully appreciated by
me that l would never present paper for
his consideration unless 1t was of decided
importance. On one occasion 1t became abb
s0lutely necessary to secure his judgment
on several matters.
General Lee was not in a pleasant hu-
NOR; ne showed signs of annoyance and
finally became decidedly worried.
T. too. lost my temper and petulantly
threw aside the paper under discussion In
stead of administering a severe rebuke ne
merely looked at me and said in measured
tones:
Colonel Taylor. WREN I lose my temper
don't you let it make You angry

before the voters No ether democrat could
carry state constituted as Nebraska is
rule from republican states, and they
brought with them strong tendencies to-
wards that party. Mr.. Bryan has carried
the state since 1894, hut the republicans are
endeavoring to defeat him this year
Defeat however, in state made up as
Nebraska is, will not hurt his standing in
democratic states. 1t will not impair his
usefulness as a democratic leader. 1t will
not change the issues of the Chicago plat
forb. or lessen the prospects of the logical
candidate The returns from Nebraska on
Tuesday night will, however, be awaited
with great interest.

START AT THE HEAD

From the Wetumpka Herald.
The men most interested in educational
matters in Alabama going to demand
of the next Legislature that it pass some
sort of law which will require an education
al qualification for county superintendent
of education, and that will place all teach
efs in the state upon an equal footing as to
examination. The cause of education re-
quires these changes, and they must come
before the educational system of the state
will be anything like perfect one. The
newspapers all over the state are taking
up this fight, and no man will be apt to go
to the legislature who is not in favor of
this change for the better in the education
al laws of Alabama. If the fountain head
of the stream is polluted there is little hope
that the water lower down will be pure.

THE BRITISH rKANsyAAL GENERAL
From the Boston Herald.

fIOul the loOSlOH I1SIdlu.
Northumberland Sir Redvers Henry
Butler, who has by this time probably as
sumed command of the British troops in
South Africa though the reinforcements
which are to form 50 large a share of his
forces are still on the way there is a vet
eran of large military experience some of
which has been gained in that region. He
is 60 years of age, and has been in the SER
vice since he was 49, He won great distine-
ton in wars against savages in Egypt and
in South Africa, the Victoria cross coming
to him from his encounters with the Zulus.
He was in the China war of 1860, and ac-
companied the Canadian Red river expedi-
ton of 1870 In the Soudan expedition of
1884 he was second in command. Here is
very great experience. General Butler Is a
man of large physique and logged deAer-
mnation of character He is discipline
rian of the severest school, and determined
to carry his ends at whatever sacrifice.
Not very popular man with his soldiers,
from his iron nature, but one well fitted to
lead them to victory, and little inclined to
be lenient toward those whom he encoun-
tiers in war.
