Two honses in City Council.

As members of the City Parliament are expected to serve without pay save what their own conscienccs furnish, two houses would not Increase materially expenses. One would be elected by wards and the other by the city as a whole; one would be q small body, and the other large enough to bring some member of it in touch with a particular locality of the city. The pro- posed plan would, no doubt, prevent much nasty and ill-advised legislation. Snap legislation would be impossible, because the two houses could not act simultane- ously, and there would be time for public comment and investigation. All in all, the new plan seems to be the better of the two.
 Certainly 1t must be adopted when the municipality includes all of Jones valley, as 1t certainly will when We have an ad- ministration strong enough to bring all to- gether for tine common good That time is not far distant, and perhaps the organiza- ton of a two-chambered council would fa- cilltate that much-desred movement.

IF oGlr DAIlT NEWSPAPER IN ALAsA' A
Jefferson Tops Them All.

When the Atlanta Constitution attempted to explain the modest population of its city it took it's readers upon a lillian emi- hence, as it called the spot-and asked them to behold 15o,o0O people. It was a good scheme, but Director Merriam shows that the eminence must have been either Stone Mountain or Kennesaw, and that the out view must have embraced at least two counties, for the population of Fulton County. the county by the way that Att lanta is located in, is but 117, ,963. The pop ulation of Jefferson County stood in June last at 14O,42O.
 As the facts are brought out it is seen that Jefferson leads all the rest in the cotton States. The figures for Memphis were rather staggering but we calmly await the report for Shelby County. in which that town is located, believing that too, will have to bow to Jefferson County.
 New Orleans in Louisiana, outranks the great coal and iron county of the South in population, but down in that county, thanks to the civil law, there are no coun- ties-only parishes. This explanation is, we freely admit, rather attenuated, but it is the best the case affords, for We are de- termined to make Jefferson the banner county of the cotton belt. In 1910 it will readily outgrow Orleans parish, and then the civil law and French methods need no longer be invoked.
 The only rival of Jefferson is Shelby County, Tennessee. The city of Memphis contains 1O2O00 people, and if the rest of the county can show $500 more it will rank up to imperial Jefferson-pardon the conjunc- ton of words. But the swamps of Shelby do not hold SS,O0O people, snakes and all We, therefore, throw down the gauntlet to the cotton States. We claim that Jefferson County is head and shoulders above any county in Dixie land.

Under the new ap- portionment each State will have one Con- gressional representative for about every 2OO00O people, and even with this increase of apportionament the membership of the lower house of Congress will probably be increased, regardless of the fact that the hall of the House of Representatives is al- ready crowded. Alabama and nearly all of the Southern States will hold as many representatives as they have at present.
 The ship subsidy bill is the third impor- tant general measure to be acted upon by Congress. On it's face 1t is a good bill, but a careful reading of it demonstrates the fact that the owners of the large American steamship lines already in operation will get the great bulk of the apportionment, which is based upon speed and tonnage, and the small ships which carry heavy and low grade freight will receive but little encouragement. Nearly all of the Demo- crats and many Republicans will probably fight for a change, but the power of sev- eral of the great steamship companies will probably be sufficient to push the bill through Congress in its present shape.
 The army reorganization bill is the fourth measure of importance. The administra- ton has rather retreated from it's position of standing army of 100000, and the bill will probably be so amended as to provide for an army of 60.OO0, giving the President the privilege of increasing it when, in hts opinion, public interest demands, to 100000. The Republicans are determined to have a tremendous army regardless of how many tricks to which they must resort to get It.

will say that the subject of constitutional reform should be kept away from the peo- pie, to be managed in a corner so as to serve special interests or to subserye the schemes of demagogues.
 The fair and open thing to do Is to hand the whole matter over to the people. If they want ballot reform or any other kind of reform they will say so; if they do not, they will vote down a convention, and that will be the end of 1t.
 The present Legislature was elected to a great extent with suffrage reform in view. To a great extent they stand pledged to submit constitutional convention propo- sition- But whether they are so pledged or not, they should not fear the people. Distrust of the people Is whispered in the corners by demagogues The plain square thing to do is to hand the matter over to the people, It is their business, and they will decide it. No state ever yet was hurt by the action of the people. Such action, even in the election of judges, is now known to be safer, more honest, more ef ficient than action by few. Year by year it becomes plainer that the people are the only safe source of action and power. The American politician is a melancholy fail ure, but the American people are not.

brisk rate, and it will probably transact much business. Speaker Pettus and Presi- dent of the Senate Jelks are both good and industrious men, and will see to it that their respective houses transact business in a thoroughly business-like manner. The most interesting contest to come before the Legislature, next to that of Gubernatorlal succession, will perhaps be the dispenSary matter The dispensary agitators are to bring up this question again and have an- other fight over it like that which occurred in the last Legislature. Undoubtedly dis pensary laws will be put upon several counties. but the personnel of the Legis- lature would not indicate that there will be a general State dispensary law. There may, however, be law providing for the reference of the question of dispensary or no dispensary to the voters of each county to act upon the same by ballot if they see fit. Such a law would bring up some very heated contests in several counties. It would. indeed, make a lively contest right here in Jefferson.
 I am glad to learn that the new St. Vim cents Hospital is nearly ready to be opened, and likewise to know that the la dies of the Hillman Hospital board are meeting with success in raising funds for the construction of a handsome hospital to take the place of the temporary quarters which this splendid work of charity now occupies. There is nothing Birmingham SO much needs two good hospitals. Both of them should be made twice as large as contemplated at present Certainly they should be unless an end is soon put to the carving of concealed weapons in Birming- ham and Jefferson County.

New County Project.

The new county scheme is merely a scheme to make new offices, and increase taxes. There is no real demand for it in Jefferson, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Bibb or Shel- by counties, all of which are to be mutil- ated in order to create it. Bessemer the proposed county seat, is not suffering, for 1t is now a county seat so far as courts are concerned and has hourly connection with the court house any way, and will soon have hfteen-minute headway trolley line. Take away the men who want offices in the proposed county, and 1t is doubtful if q corporars guard could be mustered in its favor. The entire district is well served in railway trains, and no part of it would be convenienced by the cation of a new county.
 Bessemer should tone down its ambi- ton. It should be proud of the fact that it is a part of the banner county--an inn portant part-and Eejoce thereat. To be the centre of 2x9 county is not a greater honor than to be an independent and val uable part of county big enough and rich enough to build brick sewers and to attract various industries, and to fairly bulge cut with population and enterprise. Our prosperous suburb should let we'll enough alone. It should not try to get away from Jones Valley, of which it is a part, and which is the pick, the very flow CT, of the State

Constitutional Reforms.

It ought not to take much courage to ask the people whether they want a con- stltu;lonal convention. for that is all the Legislature can do. It can not call a con- st;tutional convention. It can only bring a proposition looking to a convention be- fore the people.
 And why should not the people have an opportunity to decide for themselves this question? Who will say the people are incapable of deciding such a proposition? :? Who win say action by few Is better than action by the many? Only dema- gogues and men who have axes to grind

0 LL that talk of reorganization of
 /AN the Democratic party has col I1N lapsed. It was the inception of
 Republicans or men who have acted with the Republicans. It was en- eouraged by men who have strayed far from the Democratic folds in order to be made much of in Republican ranks, and who would now attempt to be made much of in Democratic ranks. The Democratic party, like all parties, may at times get men in it who talk much and who talk at random, but these few mouthy men do not make the party. The Democraticl party will always live and will be successful it's share of times because it Is founded upon the correct principles of government. and a few mistakes, therefore, cannot destroy it
 The talk of the next Congress cutting down Southern representation is also ab- surd. Representation is based upon popu~ lation and there is no legitimate way by which the South's representation can be cut down without cutting down that of Northern and Western States
 Congress meets two weeks hence. There are but four important general bills, out side of appropriation bills, pending for im- mediate action. One is the Nicaragua ca nal bill. The Senate has made is a special order for early in December. It will be fought vigorously by the transcontinental railroads. It is just possible that they may delay it's passage a year, but this bill is sure to become a law, and the Nicaragua canal is sure to be built regardless of the political power of the transcontinental railroads.
 The Congressional apportionment bill is another general matter to be acted upon. At present each State has Congressman

Duncan was very young man when he married at SS, and he is as young now as then, though his marriage occurred ever so many years ago. He will never be old in heart or in impulses. His goodness and gentleness, his erous-heartedness, are renewed day by day, and his bright spirits mock grey hairs through all his goodly and godly walk. his freshness and vivacity abound with all the vigor and boyishness Of his schooldays, and will so abound so long as that royal heart beats in human love.
 MT. Duncan is a man of wide learning, and his acquaintance with general litera- ture, the classics more especially, is extra ordinary. As a preacher he possesses the rare quality of logic, and is very forcefully eloquent He is in fact one of the most powerful preachers in Alabama"

her; some there maybe to wait her com ing; others to find their way to the altar before the young girls hair goes up and her skirts come down. To have power to transfer to white paper her white thoughts absolutely in their entirety as she looked and wondered would be to make a book the world would hunger for through the ages. It would be profoundly human, and pure as angels prayers.
 Idle is it to speculate concerning the young girls thoughts, her maiden speculations as she gaZed upon her sisters in the livery of fashion,; but 1t may be hoped that she felt something of the higher lessons they teach, the nobler duties they make it easy for men to discharge. Those at whom she looked and wondered are the heirs of all the ages past, the fullest, fairest and most beautiful flowers of civilization; for it remains true that the most beautiful ob- ject possible in the world is beautiful woman crowned with youth. An, youth youth is for ever beautiful!
 O let the solid ground
 Not fail beneath my feet
 Before my life has found
 What some have found so sweet;

 What matter if I go mad
 I shall have had my day.
 Let the sweet heavens endure,
 Not close and darken above
 Before I am qute quite sure
 That there is one to love me;
 Then let come what come may
 To life that has been so sad,
 I shall have had my day.
 And so we turn from the world of ugli- ness and responsiveness and petty tyrannes to woman's world of culture, of love and light. In every characteristic that pleases and uplifts, woman is as superior to man as seraphs are to the devils imps. won- drous world of womans power for good, It's boundaries are measured by the pray CTS of the angels alonel Whatever doubt or fear, unfaith or unrestful impulse may bring man to unhappinesS the verge of world-madness there is ever the saving grace of woman's transcendent virtues, modest in their seeming that it were rude- ness to name them! No man has lived yainly who has won a woman's friendship; none may die other than a conqueror who has won a womans love. And above all the beautiful riches of well-meaning and well-ordered lives, the blessedest is wom- ans faith, her trust, her q believe you, good heart!' The man who would not die for that is not worthy to live for anything. The man who would not cast the mantle of his soul, of his better and truer self, upon the ground to shield my lady's dainty feet, is man not worthy to feel the touch of any woman's gloved hand upon his shoulder.
 And it is well, it is best, that the young girl know these things that she feel that across the violet border between her gar den of laughter and womans realm of vic- torious joy there are blessed responsibilities awaiting her-the supreme duty of lead ing the world in beautiful and righteous ways.
 Womans world is glorious her life sub lime; and apart from her there cannot be upon this earth any joy for any man.

man of the hour with its multitudinous follies.
 How wide and deep and black and damned is the abyss that divides the coarser affairs of men who are brutish or coarse, evfl-minded or ill-tempered or ill., hammered, from the place of the dance and the private play of society costumed for parade!
 There are two worlds in which most of us are accustomed to dweIl-the world of low jealousies meanness, ill-tempers, ill- manners, rudeness, little bignesses and coarser purposes, and that bright and beau- tiful world filled with lovely women who admit men to their pure and gracious pres ence upon condition that men be gentle men! This world is the world of song and laughter beauty and love, the dance and socety's refined play in a thousand cul- tured forms, and an hour of it, one being worthy of that hour, were worth all the gold filched by every damned rascal un- hanged!
 In this world of beauty and light and life how small and pitifully mean appear the pastimes and the purposes of the vul- gar, the self-righteous, the fools who elect themselves wise, the petty little tyrants whom accident places above their moral and intellectual superiors!
 The dances and the plays of refinement and culture are the golden keys to the richer and more precious treasures of life; they unlock the purple and fine linen of existence, and whosoever wears such raj ment must have broader and more humane purposes in the worlds ceaseless strife for better things, better conditions of human ity.
 Maybe the young girl who looked with wide and wondering eyes at beautiful wo- men and men of station thought not of these things; but some day she shall think of them since she will in large measure fashion and form her own element of life in glad days that are to come. As the hour found her she looked on and wondered, maybe hungrily in her white young soul A picture worthy the greatest master of brush or pen she presented as she leaned forward, her arm resting upon/a place of rest, her hand supporting her face, her 1.-the form in white and pink raiment the soul of grace Her simple dress was caught high up on her throat and her dull brown hair was caught loosely behind her neck. Only the beautiful women seemed to inter- est her, and she observed them closely and intently. From the tops of their heads to the hems of their garments nothing es- capped her, and everything in that band of beautiful maidens in white and blue and pink seemed to receive her approval. Once she reached out impulsivey and touched the bare beautiful shoulder of a superb creature daughter of the gods, in white and she laughed as if pleased with her own little act of endearment and admiration, which plainly pleased her elder. It was intensely human, that touch; positively thrilling in it's pure realism.
 And so the young girl looked and wonder ed at those radiantly beautiful ones of her kind who are just over the border from
