sisted of a series OF daily readings. with
brief comments on the several books.
SUCH a system, while having In II bene-

OF the contents and scope of the sacred
writings. Beginning with october /. 1889,

The FiftY-Flfth Congress.

When the history of the fifty-fourth con- gress is written it will stand out not only as war congress, but as a congress that handled many other questions of far-reach- ing importance. Some of these questions were so handled that they have brought more evil than good to the country. but be their effect favorable or unfavorable they were questions of universal magni- tude. The tariff that the late MT. Dingley fathered is an example in point-a tariff that was intensified by the war legislation, until it has become serious bar to the growth of the countrys export trade.
 Other large questions were passed upon by the dead congress, such, for example, as the annexation of Hawaii, the passage of bankruptcy act, the census bill, the re- jeetion of the arbitration treaty with Great Britain. the reorganization of the navy, the Nicaragua canal, the army reorganization, and the bills for the government of Havana and Alaska.
 Outside of the great war congresses, it is not too much to say that no other con-. gress ever had more bills of deep import to handle, even when all war bills are left out of consideration. The starting of the inter-oceanic canal is alone enough to give the ffty-fourth congress a high place in the history of the country.
 The various war bills of this congress will be weighed and discussed while the govern rnent endures. Their effect will be very far reaching. If they mean, as some interpret them, that tho days of solaton in this country are ended, and that the country must take its place among the powers of the world, with the duties and responsible ities of such power, then indeed the late congress is one that is historic beyond al- most any other. And yet beyond securing the results of the war, it did not deal di- connection with the new possessions. It did say that Cuba should be free and inde- pendent, and the senate did pass the Me- Emery resolution, which was a mild declar- ation of policy as to the Philippines, but not so mild that the house would entertain it. All in all, the questions involved were left practically open, and the country will have ten months in which to study and calmly consider the various problems that the islands which Spain had long misgov- erned present.

matter of national importance The house itself Is nearly evenly divided. and the ap- proach of presidential election renders every movement in the great governing body of moment.
 The Age-Herald desires to say to the democrats of the country that more dis erect, more capable, more effective available timber in the next congress. John H. Bankhead is safe, true and efficient. and there will be no mistakes made by the minority If he be entrusted with the lead ership.
The age-herald., 1899-03-05
Abdicati0n of Mir. Bailey.

Gen. Joe Wheeler is Fin it' at every turn. Because the democrats would not vote to oust the hero of two wars. Mir. Bailey losses down his leadership paraphernalia, condemning at the same time forty-odd of his party associates enemies to the con- stitution. He really means that they are not ready to accept his interpretation of the constitution They are in fact their own interpreters, and MT. Baileys interpre- tations are not infallible enough to justify him in communicating all democrats who do not accept them.
 The Texans pig-headedness is eaualled only by his platitudes. He declared in the house that he-yes, he-believes "the con- stitution is the supreme law of the land, and ought to be obeyed at all times and by all men," The inference is that the forty odd who did not support him in his effort to unseat Gen. Wheeler do not accept the constitution as the supreme law of the land, believing that it may be disobeyed at any time by anybody. All this is stuff and non- sense. over forty democrats did not agree with MT. Bailey over question that is none too cear-that has been decided by congress both ways-that is open to doubts in all minds.
 Be this however as it may, MT. Bailey has stepped out of the leadership in the house, which is much more to the point. He is in fact candidate for Senator Chilton's shoes, and while he is working and waiting for promotion he proposes to serve as high private in the house. He has sum- moned Mir. Bankhead to the center of the democratic stage. The democrats of the house will do well If they second the mo- tion. Like the immortal Washington, MT. Bankhead Is man who never slops over. His judgment is as accurate as his experi- ence Is extended. He does not indulge in py- rotechr1cs; he employs no red-fire; he Is calm. well-sustained and resourceful, and under his leadership the republicans would score no points to which their numbers did not entitle them. He may be trustrd to fad the weak points in their jackets.
 The leadership of the next house is

the bill would not meet with popular ap- proval In this we hope and believe they were mistaken.
 No taxes are or should be more cheerfully paid than those providing for the education of the children We do not believe the patriotic people of Alabama will murmur at this slight increase in the tax burden. We believe that pride in their state and love for their children will cause them to give hearty endorsement to this and all legislation of similar purpose.
 In this connection 1t seems proper to give just praise to the populists in the senate whose votes constituted the majority by which the bill was passed. They were elected on platforms demanding lower taxation, and yet they voted for this bill. They did wisely and we'll; their course should be heartily approved, not only by the members of their own party but by all advocates of better educational facilities

SIackwater in the Warrior.

The enthusiastic and optimistic citizen of this district can almost hear the pulling of the tugs and the commands of the slack water mariners as he reads the news from Washington. The persistent and effective efforts of John II. Bankhead and Oscar Underwood have been rewarded. By stand ing firmly up to what they wanted for the district they not only carried the house, but they brought Senator Frye to an &C., ceptance of the Warrior in the continuing contract class.
 The victory means that the Warrior river is to be continuously improved under con tracts that are not to be confined to the acts of single congress until barges and towing steamers can traverse it every day in the year. It means that the govern ment is committed to a completion of the work, which is all-important to this dis trict The amount appropriated, SS00,OOO, IS of itself insufficient, but it means that con gress will send more money after it in or der to save and utilize what it had already expended. It is a great victory, and Bir- mingham should welcome home Oscar Un- derwood and John H. Bankhead with the blare of trumpets and rub-a-dub of the big bass drum. They deserve It. They have fought long and well for the mineral dis trict. They have won out Give them due praise. Give them a great welcome. Not in generation has any Alabama member accomplished so much that will make for the prosperity of all Alabama, and particu- larly of this district.
 Birmingham should welcome Representa- lives Underwood and Bankhead in order to encourage them to still greater efforts in the long session of the fifty-sixth con gross. Senator Frye's declaration that not over $20O,OOO a year can be expended in the Warrior is all nonsense. Ten times that amount can be successfully expended in year by simply starting the building of more dams and locks. Senator Frye's plan of building one dam and lock a year may do from d Maine point of view but it does not suit this latitude and atmosphere. Every lock and dam that is needed should be put under contract, and the Age-Herald believes Oscar Underwood and John Hollis Bankhead are the two men in the state who can convince congress that immediate work all along the river up to McAdory at least is the least this great government should do When we get the two men here we will inspire them with this idea, know ing that they will next winter carry the infection to their colleagues in the new con gress.

An Armor Mill in the South.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, said to Senator Butler. of NortK Carolina, not that it's long time between drinks. but that it Is high time the government got out of the hands of the international armor- plate combine, by building in the south an armor-plate factory. In the house MT. Underwood had endeavored to educate the controlling republican majority up to similar view of the case, but in the rush and hurry of the closing hours of congress; in the pressure that practically throws all great legislation into the hands of few conferees, the proposition was lost.
 But 1t is not wholly lost. It went down in the Fifty-fourth congress to wake up very much alive in the Fifty-sixth. There are those who had little faith in the port of Birmingham, but no one now doubts that this city will have a custom house, and that it will be port of no small propor- tions. The mere fact that reshipment will be involved, does not interfere with the business of a port Birmingham will be- come the barge end of a gulf port. All see what Is coming now, and some will ac- knowledge it, although they have at times ridicued the idea of navigation amid the red hills of Jefferson. What this govern ment cannot accomplish, no human power can do, and locks and dams will give every industry in this district waterway to the sea, with switching charges only added to water rates.
 Now, what is in course of accomplish ment in the matter of navigation, can be brought about in the matter of armor-p plate making. If we never lost faith in the feasibility of armor-plate manufacture in this district; especially if we keep Oscar Underwood in the house of representatives until the state is ready to give him a seat in the other body, and MT. Underwood can afford to walt good while -or that; if we work untiringly and unceasingly to con- vince southern senators and representa- tives that the south is the true seat for an armor-plate factory. just so surely will we piHi6 apoul tHe lcSatloii oi Sucn u ldctOTy, It is worth working for, not so much for the men and money that 1t would bring, as for the concrete endorsement of south ern ores and southern resources that such a mill would be in all parts of the world. It would be worth millions to us, and The Age-Herad asks every Aabamian to say this morning that he will work early and late until such mill is located in the south. Sooner or later the government will make it's own armor and surely the section that makes at the lowest possible cost iron and steel and that contains no arsenal no gun secure an armor mill.
