Especial Dispatch TO The Post)
Washington, January 9.--Speaker Reed
has announced that the committee on rules
has decided to grant the request of frieuds
of the navy and permit the bill for The
reorganization OF the personnel OF the
service TO come up for consideration in the
house on Tuesday.
Secretary Long said he was conAient
that the bill would promptly pass the
house. and he Is equally confident that II
will be pushed through the senate during
the present session. Canvass OF the
members OF the house shows that there Is
a majority IN favor of the bill, and II is
confidently expected that 1t will be PASSED
without division.
The real stumbling block will be the
senate. Senator Hale. II IL known. Is not
altogether In favor OF the bill, and II u
feared that the naval committee win suk-
Eest amendments to the measure which
Will produce discussion on the floor Of
the senate and delay its passage until lats
In the session. Influence Will he put a.
work to get the senate committee to report

Armor Plate for New Ships.

So far as the Maine, Ohio and Missouri
are concerned, it is plain that the Pennsyl-
vanla combine must be permitted to extort
$545 a ton on the armor plate needed in
their construction. The demand for their
completion is so great that it cannot be
stayed or successfully faced.
But so far as the three new battleships
and three armored cruisers, whose con-
struction was authorized last March, are
concerned, there is no need of submitting to
the extortions of the two Pennsylvania con-
Germs which are engaged in holding up the
government. An armor-plate mill can be
readily constructed and put in operation
before the plate for the six ships will be
needed.
The refusal to build an armor-plate plant
In the face of the fact that the government
makes its own smokeless powder, its own
big guns and it's own little guns, not to
mention hundred other articles made in
its arsenals and ship yards, Is simply a
desire to serve the Pennsylvania combine,
and to keep the cotton states from having
a chance of securing even one government
factory 1t is a proposition to hog every
thing, although it involves the acceptance
of whatever terms hard-and-fast combine
may see fit-to dictate. If any article should
be manufactured by the government, under
government control, it is the plates that
are to shelter and protect the navy from
hostile blows. There is other way in
which the best can be secured at all times
in suitable quaptites. Whether such a fac
tory will be built is, of course, doubtful
Pennsylvania is a republican state and the
republicans are in power. The south is
democratic and the democrats are out of
power. 1t may therefore be decreed that
the Carnegie combine shall have $545 a ton
for the $4,000 tons of armor needed on the
nine new ships, with no guaranty as to time
of delivery or as to the price of further
amounts. The government, in other words,
may surrender without terms to the Penn
sylvania combine, which is as hard one
to deal with as the country has ever
known.

Gen. Diaz Has a Rival.

General Diaz, who succeeded Juarez's
friend, Lerdo, a quarter of a century ago
in the presidency of Mexico, is threatened
for the first time with a rival of considera-
BILE, if not serious, proportions. His rival
is Miranda, a lawyer of high standing in
Mexico city, and political leader who has
a large following. The strength of Diaz
is by no means wasted however and his
supporters of the liberal party will hold
convention on February 10, and will en-
deavor then and there to give his boom
good American send-off. No one has ever
charged President Daz with ballot-box
connected with the popular vote, and MI
randa has therefore all the opportunity
that a conservative can reasonably ask
for.
Parties are not as we'll defined in Mexi-
CO as they are in this country, and public
sentiment is not as operative as it is here.
Here it is judge, jury and the law, as it
should of course be; for what the people
want in their own business is exactly what
should be done. be it right or wrong. If
the people desire to go to the days, there
they should of course be permitted to go,
and no official has a right to say them,
nay.
General Diaz has not in his long official
career attempted to be a dictator. Miriam
da, his opponent, is free to meet him at
the polls and the fact that he has an open
constitutional opponent is a great credit
both to the country and to President Daz
himself 1t is a vindication of General
Diaz as a constitutional ruler. 1t shows
that the country is in a healthy condition.
1t shows that a successor of capacity can
be found when the working days of Daz
are ended. 1t shows that Diaz, much as he
deserves from his country, may be super
seeded in 1904, If he shall then come before
the people. The appearance of Miranda
as candidate is a wholesome sign, and
Mexico may be expected to have hereafter
more than one presidential candidate. 1t
is a country that is advancing politically
as well as physically.

Is simply the carrying of an obligation as
any other obligation Is carried.
The only allowance that the state makes
to the university Is $4,000 year. or. on the
basis of 800 students. about sss ahead. How
this capitation amount has been swelled
to $500 in court mathematics is beyond or
binary comprehension.
The land deal crowd PROPOSE to do away
with the yearly allowance of $4,000 by sell
ing the coal lands of the university. They
have put in the treasury $4,000, which will
bring in about 50, 800 year. The alumni pro-
pose to lease those lands, when they are re-
gained, at a royalty of cents ton, there
by saving the state in the long run the en-
tire sum of $4,000, and much more besides.
Coal lands are constantly rising in value in
all parts of the country, and If the valua-
BILE lands disposed of in the September DEAL
including the $40 acres on Bakers creek
can be regained, the university will soon be
beyond the need of help from the state
treasury, although it is rendering an equiv
alent for an appropriation of $4,000 in the
soldiers it is annually training for the
states service.

A charity hospital-a city hosptal-a free
hospital-where the MANNED sick and the
unfortunate without home or friends can
be taken care Offs a sore need of Biz
mfngham. Only two weeks ago john Leffen
died of pneumonia in the county Jail because
there was no place in either of the small
charity hospitals for him to be taken.
Thursday night John Turner fell through
the Twenty-irst street bridge and suffered
a broken back. There was no hospital to
which he could be taken, and he had to be
cared for by the city physician at a public
hotel-without nurse or the attention
which a hospital would afford.
The people of Birmingham should take up
the Hillman hospital matter Public ap
peals have been made to them but re-
sponses have been few. T. T. Hillman has
been generous-even more than generous.
Nabers & Morrow have subscribed five hun
dred dollars-a good and generous donation
and p. II. Linnehan has contributed fifty
dollars. There are not less than two theus-
and people in Birmingham who could con-
tribute from ten to fifty dollars each, and
the city can well afford to appropriate five
thousand dollars to public hospital of this
character Birmingham needs one and
needs it badly. The matter should be taken
up and carried through without delay.
Mayor Drennen has an opportunity to do
a good work. Let him take charge of the
matter and bring about city appropriation
and aid the good women in charge of this
work in obtaining individual subscriptions.
The opening of the new year tomorrow
finds the Birmingham merchants in good
condition There has not been failure of
business house in Birmingham within sever
al months On the other hand, every mer-
chant who has attended to his business is
prosperous The bank deposits during the
past week have been greater than during
any week in the history of Birmingham
Every bank in Birmingham is carrying
nearly a hundred per cent. more deposits
than it was one year ago today. Ten of the
leading merchants in the city tell me that
their sales for December have been double
the sales of last December. These are the
large houses. Some of the smaller houses
have had sales amounting to three or four
times as much as last year. Pay rolls in
the Birmingham district are nearly double
what they were a year ago. Real estate
has advanced, but it Is cheap yet and
money is easier in Birmingham than it has
ever before been in the history of this CITY,
The business man who Is not making
money today is either giving no attention to
his business, or else is losing his profits in
specializing.
| hope there are not many of the latter.
Indeed the New Year which begins tomor-
row finds the merchants manufacturers,
and all classes of those who go to make
up the population of Birmingham happy,
prosperous, contented but ambitious. An
other year should make Birmingham the
great interior city of the south. l have al
ways believed it, and / have more conf
dence now than ever before.
The Board of Trade wants a five cents
fare on the street railroads from Ensley to
Birmingham. This should be granted
them-provided, however, the street rail-
road company can afford it. If 1 were in
