Insurance Rates.

A plendid suggestion is made in the news
columns of the Age-Herald this morning
by Chief Mullen of the fire department, and
T. L. MCGOWAN, a merchant.
Under existing conditions, with the ox-
tremely limited fire department, the insur-
ance rate of Birmingham is on a 75-ccnt
bass. Atlanta and other progressive cities
are on a 50-cent basis. By increasing the
fire department TO efficiency Birmingham
could be put in the first class Chief Null
len estimates that the establishment of
three more department stations will cost
the city less than $4,000 year to maintain.
and it will be saving to property owners
of more than $4,000 per annum.
This matter should be taken up by the
board of aldermen and the local insurance
men at once. 1t should be put through
without delay.
The citizens and property holders are en-
titled to this consideration from Their rep
resentatives ON the board Of aldermen, and
the matter should be attended to at once.
Let there be no delay.

the bottom of the troubles. There are both
Catholic and Protestant missionaries in the
group of islands. The Catholic missionar-
les are of French origin, and Mataafa is
said to be one of their converts. and Tam
Is presumably a Protestant. But no one
knows why the representatives of Luther
an Germany should espouse the cause of
Mataafa on church grounds. The fact is,
no one knows the situation as it is at Apia.
Information is scant, and no judgment can
be formed until more facts are accumu-
lated. But this much seems to be certain
three governing consuls, jealous and full
of resources. shut up in small towns on
small islands, do not promise well for good
government, and never will. If the new
commissioners cannot contrive a plan of
government more feasible and practicable
their work VIII be valueless. The partner
ship is failure. Division of the islands
among the three powers seems to be the
only thorough remedy.

156TH
ANNIVERSARY

II Thomas Jefferson were living today
he wouldn't attend either of the so-called
banquets in New York. He would dino
quietly at Monticello (please pronounce
it Montichello) with chosen friends of Vir-
ginia gentlemen. And he and his friends
would dine well. Thomas Jefferson would
seorn alike so and 81 dinners. Thomas JEFF
ferson, third president of the United States,
was southern gentleman. Jefferson could
no more have been concerned in an adj
vertised dinner at $40, 81 or 500 than he
could have assumed the garb of a priest of
Rome.
Thomas Jefferson was inconsistent. He
denied himself time out of mind; but he
remained the first of southern gentlemen.
1t Is of small moment that he was third
president of the United States. The world
remembers only two or three presidents
Washington, Jackson, Lincoln. They Will
pass. Jefferson will live, not as president;
but as Jefferson Hamilton, one greater
than jefferson, will survive in history long
after all the presidents have passed from
the memory of men. Hamilton was never
president, and was murdered long before
his time to die
Yesterday was the 156th anniversary OF
the birth of Thomas Jefferson.
1t does not matter what sort of ceiebra-
ton was held in New York or elsewhere.
Jefferson's memory, his deeds, his achieve
ments, remain the proud heritage OF the
American people. We may talk as we ike
of Jeffersonian democracy, of Jenersonlan
principles but with all his sophistry, all
his double-dealings, all his scheming ana
all his fauts-Jefferson remains the hrst
of the American presidents save Washing
ton.
1t is well to remember that Jefferson was
the first American 'imperialist'-Jeff
the father of the democratic party! he
began what Mckinley Is concentrating
now. Jefferson was an expansionist; Jet-
ferson. the aristocratic democrat was an
''imperialist" That mighty spirit no longer
stoops to things of this world. 1t rests
with God But if it did lower Itself to u.s.
it would be amused at dollar dinners and
ten dollar dinners alike. That incompar-
able master of men cannot die-he speaks
across the unnumbered years and tells to
us, as no other man has yet told, the real
story of human charity, liberty and per-
sonaI liberty in the government of man.

Is not In a mood to favorably receive very
much dictation as to his official action
from that source His Standpoint" is not
on straight when it comes to that.
If the Constitution had investigated the
causes of the Johnston movement, as 1t
eonfesses it has not. it would not have
assumed so much. 1t would have seen that
the democracy of Alabama has but fol-
lowed Governor Johnston's official advice
in 1896; that the party voted two to one
that a constitutional convention should he
held. and that it1proposes that the people
shall have an opportunity of saying
whether or no they want such conven-
ton. There is no division of moment among
the democracy of the state. The populists
and republicans do not want a convention;
the democrats do. The people are to de-
eide. Governor Johnston and his atlanta
organ cannot change the course of events.
The party in convention assembled has
spoken. 1t has made the issue party is
sue, and the democrats in the sixty-six
counties have accepted the issue, and
named men TO represent them in a consti-
tutional convention. This is not child's
play; it is action that the state has been
considering many years. The most diff
cult problem known to American states
manshio is involved, and all d.snterested
democrats feel that in this quiet of year
it should be taken up and sett ed, if a
settlement be possible. The brave effort of
the democracy of Alabama to put the suf-
frage on a basis that would eliminate ballot
box frauds, is the occasion of the Consti-
tution's lecture to Alabama democrats, and
the esteemed Constitution should not feel
offended if, under the circumstances, its
advice is respectfully declined in this state.

The Exara Session Scheme Has Failed

1t is difficult to say what Governor john
ston desires or intends to bring about. If
he simply desires to procure a repeal of
the convention act, he may by utilizing
populists and republicans be abe to rally a
respectable minority; but it is already plain
that he cannot command the support of
a majority of democrats in either house
for such a purpose
If, beyond repeal, he desires to pass a
suffrage amendment as he says he does,
then the extra session project falls to the
ground, for that requires a two-third vote
in each house. Three democrats have
been appointed to offices of profit, and are
no longer members OF the legislature. The
attempt to ssecure a two-thirds vote in the
two houses has fallen fiat, even when TIE
populists and republicans are taken into
consideration.
AS the case stands three things are mani
fest: First, the legislature, if convened,
would not repeal the convention act; Sec
ond there is no chance of passing a suf-
frage amendment; third, the democratic
members are practically solid in support
of the previous action of the legislature,
and of the subsequent action of the demo-
cratic party. There is no division of mo-
ment among the democrats of the state.
Senator sowoll, who opposed the convex
ton BILL is now opposed to a qualification
of democratic action, and he represents a
north Alabama district. Senator Jenkins,
who was the author OF the convention bill,
is a Black Belt democrat, and he stands
stoutly by the party in all it has done.
These two senators fairly represent the
democracy of the state.
The extra-session scheme has been colby
received The party has been sustained.
There will not be an extra session-not be-
cause Governor Johnston does not desire
one, for he plainly does SO desire, but be-
cause he sees he cannot control the legisa-
ture if it should be recenvened. This sci
ties it. The scheme did not fill.
Now is the time to close up the ranks,
and to push the campaign Let the work
OF education be taken up at once. The
Young Mems Democratic club of Hunts
willie is a good example of what should be
done in every county, and especially should
the nominees for delegates-the standard
bearers of the party-cover their respective
districts with appointments. The lack of
education on this subject was Governor
Johnstons sole opportunity, but he found
the representatives of the people well in
formed. 1t is the great mass of the peop,e
. who need instruction, and every stump
should be speedily occupied. The weather
is now mild, and the nominees should take
up the work that they owe the party and
the state.

DIR. SOILS VIEWS
Believes the Trouble in the Samoas Will
Soon be Put Down

Galveston, Tex, April 13.-A SPECIAL to
the News from Beaumont, Tex, says:
Dr. w. II. Solf, of Berlin, who was re-
Gently appointed president Of the local
council of Apia, Samoa, by the three great
powers-Germany, the United States and
Great Britain-was in the city tonight en-
route to Samoa from the east coast of
America.
DR.. Solf said he had not heard anything
officially since leaving Washington, but he
had read the newspaper accounts, and it
was his opinion that trouble would soon
subsidc and that peace would be estab-
lshed. He was asked If it was not a
rather serious affair, the killing Of Ameri-
can and British officers, and would it not
lead to trouble between the powers con-
cerned. He replied:
mo, so great nations as these would not
go TO war over matter of 50 small i'm
portance."
DIR. Solf left tonight for San Francisco.
He expects to reach Apia on May 4.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
A Big Storm Coming.

A New York bank president recently
common stock and so per cent. of the pre-
ferred stock of the new Industrial combna-
ton or trusts represent wind, and he is
confident that as soon as money is needed
for the moving of crops these enterprises
will tumble to the ground. Tightness Of
money, together with political attacks upon
trusts. will crush all over-capitalized con-
Germs. Another New York bank president
thinks that as soon as the working CAPT
tai of the weak combinations is used up and
they are unable to borrow money to carry
themselves along, the weak ones will go
down, and will carry with them those that
are a shade stronger and a general col
lapse of such institutions will follow.
The losers will be, not the men who did
the over-capitalizing. but the public who
purchased the securities they offered The
insiders will have sold out, and the pub
lie will want to sell when they see that
theoretical profits are not actual profits.
The latter want dividends, and when they
are not forthcoming they will not want 10
hold the stocks. They will endeayor to
sell, and then the collapse will be FASTENED.
In the long run the water will be shaken
out and the pockets of the public depleted.
The promoters and waterers will be ready
to repeat the experiment ten years hence.
1t is now believed that both parties in
the great campaign of 1900 will fight the
trusts. The democratic party will do so
in all sincerity, and the leaders of the re-
publican party in All insncerity, but the
effect Upon the trusts that are not we'll
hee-ad will be similar. The legiti-
mate combinations may survive, but nine
out of ten of the number will go to the
wall, until the water is squeezed out of
them There is no danger in this section
of the country of purchases of watered
stock, but 1t is well to have clear idea,
even here, of the situation. The New York
bank presidents have no doubt as to the
outcome. They know trouble is coming and
they do not propose to be a part of it.

Thought Them All Sane

President Stanley Hail, of Clark univer-
sity, has stirred UP Chicago by some novel
views on education. He has had dis
tinguished career, and is eminent in phil
osophical circles. Once he gave much at
tertion to neurology. They tell this anec-
dote of him at Worcester. In 1889 he made
an effort to empty the Worcester State In
sane asylum of several hundred patients
in demonstrating his theories regarding the
science OF the brain. At that time DR.. Hall
had fixed ideas upon insanity, DR..
Hall had recently come to Clark
university, and DR.. Park was super
intendent of the state asylum for
lunatics in Chicago. Dr. Hall ask
ed the privilege of remaining in the asylum
for some days in the pursuit OF the study
OF insanity. He remained in the institu-
ton about ten days as guest OF the sh-
perin.endent. During the last two days ne
was there friends and relatives began to
call in droves for patients, presenting an
order which stated that they had entirely
recovered from their affliction.
The Indignation of the officials may be
imagined when it is told that these orders
were written by DIR. Hall, who had talked
with many of the patients, found the
names and addresses of their relatives and
frineds, and sent out the notifications re-
ferred to above. The officers OF the instl-
tuition demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
those who presented these notifications that
DR.. Halls theoretical ideas of insanity
were not founded on substantial grounds,
and that the patients called Tor were lar
from fit to be discharged.

How to win in parliament

delightful and true tale of Sir William
Harcourt at the time of the finance bill as
ISOLATED with his name is told by one of his
liberal friends. One day Sir William wrote
to Sir John Hubbard, explaining that he was
not WELL that he was not likely to be in
the house that evening, and asking Sir
John to take charge of the finance bill,
says the London Outlook. There were only
two amendments of Importance, neither of
which could be accepted. Sir John hurried
away to the treasury to get coached up and
was provided with an answer to each
amendment. A distinguished treasury off,
cial had a seat under the gallery to see
how Sir John would manage the debate.
The first amendment was moved, and Sir
John arose.
AS rule his parliamentary style was by
no means feroeious, but he was filled with
Indignation on this occasion Tho time of
the house should not, he said, be taken up
with amendments when the answer was
obvious even to the meanest intelligence.
Then, to the horror of the permanent off,
cial Sir John solemnly gave the answer
intended for the second amendment
Like the flowers that bloom in the spring,
it had nothing to do with the case. Mem
bers looked at each other but no one said
anything and the mover of the amendment,
filled with contrition, withdrew it. The
treasury gentleman was just wondering If
the house would accept with equal COM
placency answer No. l as reply to amend
ment No. 2, when Sir William Harcourt,
who like Gladstone, found it difficult to
keep away from the house, came in, took
charge of his bill, and replied satisfactorily
to the amendment. Sir John Hibbard is not
the only man who has triumphed in the
house by virtue of irrelevance.

Alabama Legislators and Atlanta Aaain

Governor Johnston is short in organs at
home, but outside OF the state he has 'em
and to spare. If he hasn't them there 10
burn, he at least has there burning organs.
In point OF spontaniety and unanimity the
Atlanta Constitution easily leads all the
rest. 1t begins by congratulating Governor
Johnston upon his effort to do something
that has not been done under the present
constitution of the state, namely, call an
extra session of the legislature, and 1t con-
cludcs by declaring that this effort of his
is well worthy of commentator. It de-
clares that IAN emergency" exists in tie

The Samsan Complications.

Just why Admiral Kautz and the British
commander decided to fight the provisional
government at Apia does not yet clearly
appear; but it is known that the German
consul left the Berlin treaty in the lurch
when he refused to accept the decision of
Chief Justice Chambers. Under the Berlin
treaty the chief justice was made the ar
bitter, The umpire, in all succession troubles
that might arise. He decided that Mataafa
was Ineligible, and that Tanu had been
chosen king. His decision may have been
the result of prejudice and all that, but
under the treaty of Berlin it should have
been respected by the German consul and
the German cruiser.
But 1t was not, and a provisional govern
rlent was set up under Mataafa. No one
in this part of the world knows why it was
done, but it was presumably due to Ger
n,sn pressure. The Americans and the
british lighting side by side. as they had
never done before but as they may here
after often do, have begun 10 pull down
the provisional government. and blood has
been shed. Enghshmcn and Americans
have been shot down. This is distressing
but it by 10 means places the trouble be-
yond settlement AS soon as the three COM
missieners of the three governments, armed
with plenary powers. reach Apia, no doubt
some satisfactory settlement can be made.
1t Is said that religious disputes are at
