purposes. There Is none anywhere in this country except in Alabama.
 Local taxation for school purposes should however, be supplementary On account or the weaker school districts there should be handsome state appropriation. As means of encouragement the state appro- priation might be apportioned to the coun- ties that supplement It with school tax and in the counties the joint sum might be confined to the cities and districts that collected a farther school tax. It would doubtless be well to name minimum in each case, but in constitution that IS ex- pected to stand fifty years maximus Tor school purposes would be unwise.
 A maximum limit for the education Of the peoples own children, to the good Of the commonwealth, is an absurdity and an anomaly anyway. Why should Alabama be peculiar in this respect? Every posslpie inducement is held out in other states to- wards public education. Is there danger Tn Alabama that the people will over-educate their children? Will they year by year irn- poversh themselves for such a purpose? The proposition is ridiculous. The people should be left free to spend as much or their money as they please in the mainten- ance of public schools, open and free to al There is but one danger-they will not, Ill some localities, maintain good schools, ana so perhaps the state fund should serve as premium to induce liberality on their part Induce them to tax themselves Tor schoois' but give them, under no circumstances, per mission to bond themselves for that pur- nose

THE NEW FRENCH PRESIDENT

Correspondence of the Washington Post.
 Frances new president has inaugurated a very much more democratic style of existence at the Elysee than his predeces- sor In the first place he has given orders that the guard is not to be turned out nor the military honors due to president to be rendered except when he leaves or enters the palace in state, attended by his mili- tary staff, in connection with some official function. He wishes to be able to enter and leave his home with out any fuss or pomp. Then, too, he has dispensed with all the dainty white and gold furniture for his private apartments which President Faure was wont to use, and which rem dered the latter's rooms more suitable for a dainty marquise of the last century, than for a burly six-foot man of this present era. He has had solid leather and mahog- any furniture of modern make brought from the Garde Meuble as more suitable and more dignified for the room of a 1pres- ident of the republic. The new president is not absolutely without personal fortune, as the stories related of him would lead one to believe. He possesses about $1OO 900 or half a million francs, nearly all ac- quired by the practice of law This is quite a respectable fortune for a man of the social condition which he occupied be- fore becoming president.

The Constitutional Convention.

Jefferson county elects seven delegates to the constitutional convention tomorrow. Six of them are chosen direct by the voters, and one is chosen by the county convention delegates to which are then elected. The convention meets next Wednesday,
 There is but one candidate to represent the senatorial district of Jefferson county, to be chosen by the county convention. This candidate is Dr. R. M. Cunningham, who has represented Jefferson county in the state senate during it's past two sessions. That Dr. Cunningham has no opposition is a compliment which he fully deserves. He is one of Jefferson's ablest citizens. That he will be valuable member of the con stitutional convention every one recognizes.
 Of the twenty candidates from Jefferson for the six places to be directly filled in to- morrow's election, almost any six which could be selected would make a good dele gation. There are twenty good and strong men who have offered their services to the people. Of course Robert J. Lowe. the chairman of the state democratic commit tee, and an attorney of ability and char acter, will be elected. The people can make no great mistake in selecting the other five members of the delegation from among the names presented. There are good and strong men among them, and the chances are that the ablest among them will be selected.

---------------- JAPAN AS A NAVAL POWER

From the, New York World
 The new Japanese cruiser Chitose, the pride of American naval construction, is reported as practically disabled before her frst trip across the ocean, as the result of leaving her complicated and costly ma- chinery, furnaces, engines, steering gear and other apparatus under Japanese man. agement.
 This is rather an important item of news. IL raises the very important question of the capacity of Japan to take it's place as one oI the real naval powers of the world. Modern naval efficiency depends on scien- tif1c and technical skill in which the Japa- hese have had practically no real training, ana practically no chance of training. It would not be at all strange if they failed 1uily to meet it's rigid requirements
 IT the Japanese are in the same class with the Americans the English in naval matters, it means one thing If they are In the same class with the Chinese. it means an entirely different thing.

Schools and School Taxes.

"A number of counties in Alabama" says the Mobile Herald, would like to have tho privilege of taxing themselves for school purposes. At present they cannot do this without going beyond the limit of county taxation allowed by the constitution. name- ly. one-half of one per cent. The constitu- ton ought to permit counties to vote on the matter, and decide it for themselves. No Increase should be permitted. however, ex- ccpt for school purposes"
 The Herald is so plainly correct in it's conclusions that there is not much to be added. Modern states encourage, instead of crippling, public education. An American state at least is expected to broaden liberty of action wherever and whenever 1t is prac- ticable. On what ground county or school district of any sort should be deprived of the liberty of spending its money for educa- tional purposes, the Age-Herald is at a loss to understand A good ground does not ex- ist. Elsewhere localities are encouraged to have good schools, because increased in- telligence means more prosperity and less crime. When Louisiana framed g. new con- stitutIon last year. there was no opposl- ton to unlimited local taxation for school

Application and Distribution of Taxes.

The Eutaw Mirror says that "of every six dollars paid by the tax payers of Greene county into the school fund, only about one dollar is returned in tuition, while the other five dollars go to the tax eaters of Greene, and to the poor counties in other parts of the state."
 The Age-Herald would be glad to see the figures upon which this statement is based. Let us have the details of the case in Greene county as an example. Such fig ures will make plain the duty of the con- vention in the premises.
 We are inclined to think the Mirror has mistaken the proportions of the return volume. If it has not clear and full ex- planation will prove eminently useful and valuable. It cannot be too full. or too ex- plicit. The case Is one that will interest all, for all are interested in the school taxes, both in their payment and their dis tribution The Mirror should hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may. Bring out the figures, and let them tell the story.

THE LEGIsLATUkE's BEST JOB

From the Greenville Advocate d
 The state appropriations for public schools will amount to about 8, ,0O0, ,O00 this year. If this is kept up for the next ten years it will lift the state from its place next to the bottom in the list of illiteracy. where it now stands, to d much higher place. New Mexico, with it's population of Indians, half-breeds and all kinds oi breeds, stood down at the bottom of the list, and for that reason was denied state hood; her proportion of illlterates was o5 per cent Within less than, ten years that has been reduced 40 per cent or norel and today there are only 15 per cent. of her population in that class. That has been vast improvement. Alabama will no doubt show the same great reduct ction in her iilit- crate class within the next ten years. If the legislature had done nothing else dur ing its session, except what it did for the schools of the state, it would be entitled to receive the plaudts of the people

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Gomez and the National Assembly.
Editor


The demagogues in the Cuban national assembly who were nor appointed to office have been attempting to stir up trouble both against General Gomez and against the American authorities; but the best re- ports show that they are accomplishing no mischief The Cuban people are turning to General Gomez, and are becoming very friendly In their attitude to the American military authorities.
 The Cuban troops will receive 8, 900, 900, and will at the same time be disbanded The national assembly will probably be dis solved at about the same time. When these two disturbing elements are out of the way. the way to peace and peaceful oc- equations in Cuba will be clear, and the Cubans, after their bitter experience in Spanish hands, will soon begin to appre- cate their good luck. There will then be no demands for the setting of day when the Americans will turn affairs over to the Cubans. The transfer will come along in the natural course of things-when, no man can tell.
 The general assembly, which represents no considerable fraction of the population, whose election was more than irregular undertook to plaster the island with obli- gations and concessions, but General Brooke promptly gave notice that America would not recognize any such indebtedness or grants, and they fell fiat No one wanted a Cuban guarantee
 The army and the people will, as a rule. support Gomez, and the national assembly will soon be as non-representative and lonely as a middle-in- -the-road convention Is in this country, and It will probably bring it's efforts to an end very soon. If it does not, General Brooke may conclude to stop the agitation that the demag agogues are at present maintaining in that body.

GEN. wHEELER's CASE
From the Washington Times.
 Tho affNrt a. +l,S

From the Washington Times.
 The apparent effort oa the part of certain officials in the war department to side track General Joe Wheeler and put him out of the military service is meeting with gen eral disapproval on all sides. It Is not be- lieved that it will be successful, as public sentiment in all probability will force the administration to retain General Wheeler in the army. General Wheelers friends are especially indignant at the underhand at- tempt to belittle his record at Santiago. In the end, it must inevitably result in helping the gallant generals cause. There are good many prominent republicans who are high up in the councils of the re- publican party who believe MT. Mckinley will make a big mistake if he permits Wheeler to be dropped at this time. They are certain to make their influence felt with the president before final action is taken. There is no doubt in the mind of any care full observer that the appointment of Gen. eral Wheeler to position in the regular army would meet with the hearty approval of nine-tenths of the people of the country, north and south, irrespective of party, Gen. eral Wheeler is one of the heroes of the Spanish war, and no administration, 1t is believed, can afford to turn him down.

ALL SECTIONS HONOR THEM

From the Philadelphia Record
 General Fitzhugh Lee will not be can- ddate for the United States senate. Gener- ai Joe Wheeler, on the contrary will hang up his sword and represent his Alabama district in the next congress- Each of these distinguished gentlemen has demonstrated his fitness to serve his countrymen either in the camp or on the forum, and each has been enabled to give stalwart help in breaking down forever the last barriers of sectionalism. All parts of their country have equal delight in doing them deserved honor.

It cannot be exceeding forty miles from TaylorsviHe, near the banks of the Tennessee, to Oneonta In Blount county, where the Louisville and Nashville road has line running into Birmingham. The suggested line penetrates the finest coal and iron region in the world, as well as passing through finely timbered and ex celent agricultural country. The greatest obstacle in the way of this important southern connection is the building of a bridge. But the enterpr!slng Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and the great Louisville and Nashville care little for ob- stacles. They could both use this bridge, and each become great beneficiary of it's travel.
 While appreclating the southern exten- sion of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, We at the same time tall to find it potent factor to bring us direct ly to the coal fields or opening a way 10 the southern markets of consequence to Us. A great travel would go over road wnlGn would lead from Nashville to Birmingham via our city. Huntsville needs the coal and iron fields in our business II we had such line our city would become as popular as an Iron and steel manuIdcturlnS clty as cotton manufacturing city. We would also find tht our wholesale trade would be greatly enhanced. In fact We would feel and would be on a great line of railway which connected the north and south.

Untitled Senatorial Seais,

The adjournments of the legislatures of Delaware and Utah without making choice of United States senators, and the prob able action of the legislatures of California and Pennsylvania after similar failures to elect senators, arises the question as to the filling of such vacancies by the governors of the states.
 The senate has decided varfousIy as to this, but It's latest decision in the Oregon case, was adverse to such action on the part of the governors. The senate, when 1t meets again, will contain many new members. and thi may be able to make the senate's record even crookeder than it now stands Neither party would gain from appointments by the governors, Cali fornia and Pennsylvania having republi- can, and Delaware and Utah democratic, governors. This would seem to indicate that the decision of the senate in the Ore gon ease would be permitted to stand; but personal politics might play part in the matter. If MT. Quay, for example, should desire to be seated through guberna torial senate would swallow its recent record and proceed to make new one. The ques- ton lacks, however, general public interest, and the chances are best that seats un- filled by the legislatures will remain uu- filled until legislatures meet again.
