The Christian.
When 1.-THE Christian which comes
to the Opera House for an engagement
of one night, was running in New
York, Hall Game made reply to GER
tain critics who charged the play with
''carnality." In Mr.. Gaines opinion
there is only one way in which to
deal with a statement like this, and
that is to brand it at once as a de
liberate and palpable mis-statement" "
But he was even more luminous than
this. Said he: There is no carnality
in the realistics of John Storm and
Glory Quayle. The critic who makes
this statement ought to be dis-voiced.
If this were not convincing, Mr. Game
clinched it by adding that the critic lis
not an honest man, and he knows it. !"
A religious enthusiast" he went on,
built on the lines of the early Christ
ians, counting type body as nothing
and the soul as all in all, conceives
the idea that a girl whom he loves is
being demoralized by association with
certain men. He tried to rescue her
from ruin, and she will not be rescued.

A Hot old Time.

A Hot Old Time.
The day of the hastily thrown to-
gether, clap-trap play, porly acted and
deplorably equipped as to scenery and
accessories, has gone by. The thea
ire going public now demands perfec-
ton in every part and detail of a the
atrical production. This is said to
have been accomplished in the Rays
production Of "A Hot Old Time" which
will be produced at the Grand Opera
House the last half of this week. 1t
comes to us with the recommendation
of being the best entertainment that
has ever travelled under farce come
dy banner. The action is amazingly
rapid and complications follow each
other in the quickest succession and
make laughter continuous. To psople,
who wish to be amused and who APP
preciates as well as beautiful scenery,
good music, pretty girls and funny
comedians, this comedy will prove ac-
ceptable.

HF ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALAsAmA
Whipping Post Demanded.

The grand jury in Philadelphia demands the restoration of the whipping post for the punishment of wife-beaters. It admits that is a relic, but it is no more a relic than wife-beating should be. It is not pro- posed in Philadelphia to make the whip ping-post the sole means of punishment, but to establish it as discretionary mode in cases that cannot be cured otherwise. It is indeed necessary in the cases of brutes who would regard a period in jail as a vacation. A fine but adds as a rule to the bardships of a suffering woman.
 The sentimental objections to a whipping post when used for the punishment of wife beaters, are all moonshine. The brute who beats helpless woman cannot be degraded by whipping-post or by anything else of human origin. His degradation is con- plete before he IS sent to the whipping post. All the talk as to a relic of the last century is merely talk It has no merit in it of the relic to be of usefulness and value.
 The efficiency of the lash is not ques- tioned. Bodily pain," says the Philadel- phia North American, lis the only form of suffering that can be felt by men of low intelligence and brutal instincts, and the fear of it is very likely to remain fin their consciousness even when all other normal mental processes are submerged In alco- hol"
 At any rate the petition of the grand jury will go to the Legislature, asking the latter to give the magistrates power to order applications of the lash in eases that other punishments do not fit.

Let There Be a Full Vote.

The plainly threatened movement of cut ting down the representation of the South in Congress and the electoral college can be successfully met and overcome if full votes can be brought out in the cotton States. The movement is much more immi- nent and dangerous than many think. It will be attempted. and if the Republicans carry the November election it will be pushed on the ground that 1t meets public sentiment. It will be pushed with all the audacity and n1endacity that Mark Hanna and his party is readily capable of. A par ty that robs the many for the benefit of the few under the cover of the Dingley tar if will not stop at anything. It wants more strength in order to force through the sub- sidy and other schemes of special privi- lege and robbery. Let it be met by bring ing out the full vote of the State.
 In at least three Congressional districts to prevent the unseating of members-elect. MT. Burnett we are assured, will certainly be elected but he should be returned by good full majority, or else he may be un- seated This is also the case in at least two other districts of the State. full vote, in other words, will not only stay the hands of the Republicans who desire to reduce Southern representation, but it will also stay a possible Republican ma jority in the unseating process, which has become as shameless as anything in par liamentary government can well be. Every Democrat owes it to his party and to his State to vote on November 6, and the more of his neighbors he carries with him the better his duty for the day will be per formed.

THE BANNER OF THE JEW

By Emma Lazarus. Wake, Israeli Recall today
 The glorious Maccabean rage, The sire heroic, hoary-gray,
 Give five-fold lineage The Wise, the Elect, the Help-of-God, The Burst of Spring, the Averaging Rod.
 From Mizpah's mountain-ridge they say
 Jerusalem's empty streets, her shrine Laid waste where Greeks profaned the
 Law,
 With idol and with pagan s1yn. Mourners in tattered black were there, With ashes sprinkled on their hair. Then from the stony peak there rang
 A blast to open the graves; down poured The Maccabean clan, who sang
 Their battle-anthem to the Lord Five heroes lead, and following, see, Ten thousand rush to victory! Oh, for Jerusalem's trumpet now,
 To blow blast of shatterng power, To wake the sleepers high and low,
 And rouse them to the urgent hour! No hand for vengeance-but to save, A million naked swords should wave. Oh! deem not dead that martial fire,
 Say not the mystic flame Is spent! With Moses law and David's Tyre
 Your ancient strength remains unbent Let but an Ezra rise anew, To lift the Banner of the Jew. A rag, a mock at first-erelong,
 When men have bled and women wept To guard its precious folds from wrong,
 Even they who shrunk, even they who
 slept,
 Shall leap to bless 1t and to save! Strikel for the brave revere the brave!

against fire that roof they work under in Montgomery?
 This is an ethical question, esteemed Ad- vertiser. as we'll as a question of taxation. Whoever turns to use the advantages of a town should pay his proportion of it's bur dens. He wrongs his neighbors if he does when he ensconoes himself in a Highland Park just over the city line. He may or he may not pay the trolley company, but he certainly does not pay the city that affords him an opportunity to earn in all security and comfort his daily bread. Is this right? The editors of our contempor- ary may consider this position untenable and unpopular. but they will find upon re- 1ection that it is the essence of plain sim pie justice, because it calls for fair taxa tion, and the Golden Rule. TaX-dodging in Highland Parks is wholly without that rule-"Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them" If the plan of the editors of the Advertiser people of Montomery would remove to Highland Park, thereby escaping city taxes. If two editors may do this, why may not two hundred other men, or two thousand, or thirty thousand for that matter?

It now looks as If there would be a common movement they are certainly numerous enough, and difficult enough. Not only will the de- mands upon China be heavy, but an ad- justment of the several demands of the several countries will be even more dificult. The task is the severest one that diploma cy has had to deal with in the closing of the century.

Chances in Chinese Situation.

While the administration is trying for election purposes to solve on paper the Chi nese problem before 1t is really solved, yet it is plain that some progress in the difficult and complicated task has been made. The edict degrading four princes, in- cluding the notorious Prince Tuan, Is chief ly valuable as showing that the imperial government, be it controlled by the En- peror or by the Dowager Empress, or by a council, is becoming aware of the true and real situation. It is no longer drifting with the Boxers. It is asserting itself against the Boxers, and this is a great and important modification of the situation. This should put an end to the outrages and should lead on to a restoration of au- thority in the central government of the empire, and normal condition of Its af- fairs. It should be considered change from an anu-foreign policy to at least justice.
 Tuan's punishment may not fit his crimes, but he has, it is believed, fallen under the displeasure of the Emperor Kwang Su. and he will at least be de- prived of all power for further mischief He has been ordered before the Chinese im- peria1 court, and Chinese courts are prover- bial for promptness in action. There are no interminable delays in that country, and we shall soon know what Tuan's punish ment Is to be.
 Besides this change matters are progress

Tax Evasion Again.

"No man or woman," esteemed Adver- ttser. "should be permitted to escape the burdens of a citys taxation" who uses and enjoys the privileges and advantages that pertain to that city. This position may be untenable and unpopular, as we are as- sured it is by editors who live without city that they daily use in many ways; but such an assurance is not pertinent to the case What Is ethically due, for ex- ample. Montgomery from men who refuse to live in Wetumpka, but do live "in our suburb Highland Park" is the issue, and the Advertiser shall not evade it.
 The wealth of suburbanite is not ma terial All men pay taxes according to their means, and all pay their proper pro- portions except people who live in High land Parks. One of the morals of the pres- ent census is that tax-dodging of that sort should be abolished by annexation up to the limits of suburban travel. New York and Chicago, Memphis and San Antonio, are eminent and excellent examples of the
 
 share its burdens.
 |, If the editors of the Advertiser who live in Highland Park will tell us why they prefer it to Wetumpka, which is a pleas ant and attractive town, they will give away their side of the case. They will expose their efforts to place on neighbors taxes for police protection, fire protection, drainage and the like in Montgomery the neighbors of these men pay for police to keep them secure in the streets of Mont gomery? or for drainage that keeps dis ease and malaria away from them while they work and gather in ducats in Mont eomery? or for protection that maintains

MARK TWAIN Is COMING HOME yrop, tho Chiooon Tr;h1,na

From the Chicago Tribune.
 London-Mark Twain has finally decided to return to the United States next Mon- day. Thursday, as a sort of farewell, he opened public reading room in Kensal- rise. His speech was mixture of the seri- ous and the humorous. He told his hear CTS, who had assembled iri large numbers, that he thought it an excellent thing that legislation did not compel a community to provide itself with intellectual food, but left the matter to it's choice. If it was will ing to have such food it would put its hand in it's pocket and bring out the money. He also thought it proof of tae moral, f. nancial and mental condition of the com munity when it taxed itself for it's mental food. The reading room was, in his opin- ion, the proper introduction to the library, the community reading up through newy- papers and magazines to other literature
 These serious comments were followed by several humorous anecdotes, one of the best of which was about a letter received by little New Zealander. She wrote say- ing she liked the name of Mark much be- cause Mark Antony was in the Bible. MT Twain said he had replied to her by saying that since Mark Antony had ''got into the Bible'' he was not without hope that some day he might get there himself.

Merited Promotion.

The appointment of J. L. Welch to the position of superintendent of the South and North and the Birmingham Mineral divis- ions of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company. vice W. M. Newbold de- ceased, not only creates no surprise in rail- road circles, but meets with the highest ap- proval on the part of the citizens of Birm- ingham who have long known and esteemed the superintendent-elect.
 For many years MT. Welch was located in this city, starting here as yardmaster and rising to the office of assistant superin- tendent under Mr. Newbold. Last sum- mer he was promoted to the position of assistant superintendent of the Nash vile and Decatur division, and his record there marked him as one of the best equipped and most resourceful men In the service of the great Louisville and Nash vile system.
 MT. Welch Is comparatively young man, and will continue to rise. His case fur nishes striking example of the new and better method of railroad corporations in the matter of selecting transportation of- days superintendents and general managers were usually appointed by reason of pull" social, financial or political. In most cases civil engineeres were chosen for these posi- tions, but as a rule the engineers had to be personal favortes of managing direc- tors or wealthy stockholders. That Is all changed now. The best transportation men come from the train dispatchers and yard masters Not that civil engineers have not often turned out to be very efficient trans portation managers. The history of railroad development furnishes nnumerable ex- amples of superintendents, general man. agers and presidents who were by profess sion civil engineers. As every one knows, there is no class of scientific men that rank higher than engineers; and these profess sional men are, generally speaking, prac- tical. But with railroad expansion special training has come to be more and more nec- essary. Hence the present-day custom of taking transportation officials from the yard or telegraph office.
 But a man might be a first-class dis patcher and not a capable division super intendent, for in the higher position one must have turn for managing men in ad- dition to a practical knowledge of manipu- lating trains; must be at once a disciplinar- ian, business man, and a self-reliant man. With practical experience acquired as a yardmAster and an assistant superintendent MT. Welch has the proper schooling for larger command. It is this all round train- ing in the transportation department that makes him so eminently acceptable for pro- motion.
 Any other than the merit system in rail- road promotion would be regarded as an- tiquated now. This is business-ike age, and every young railroad man sets out in life stimula ted by the thought that talent and faithful service will count.
 Object lessons similar to that afforded by MT. Welchs rise are occurring all the while, and the railroad companies get better and better results, and the public better and better service.

ent It is imperialism; and returns already received which cover considerably more than a third of the Parliament of 670 mem- bers show that imperialism is winning in Great Britain by the largest majority known in the long history of the mother of parliaments. The British have their Kruger as against the Aguinaldo of Ameri- can politics, and Kruger's friends are hepelessy lost.
 '.Sobriety and conservatism in its broader sense the world over will regret that Henry Labourchere has been re- elected to Parliament. Labourchere is an ultra-radical whom they call in England a gentleman -blackguard. He poses as an extreme radical. an anarchist, friend of Kruger, not because of honest convic- tions, but primarily because he is an infidel and atheist who hates every preacher of religion in the world, and incidentally be- cause of a lack of character which would enable him to achieve distinction. He is therefore a vulgar seeker after notoriety, a disturber of the peace. And somewhat of the same class is John Burns, reelected for the Battersea division of London. Burns is a labor member of Parliament, self-seeking person who has so imposed upon honest labor that the toilers pay him s125 month as one of their represen- tatives. He is worse than a suspicious character, but he Is shrewd enough knave to fool the honest Battersea seamen and dock laborers. Unfortunately certain Tory fools so acted that they revived Glad stones old demagogic cry of The classes against the masses and the men of Bat tersea had in self respect to vote for the man whom they had actually distrusted. That is John Burns, M. P.

Revolutionary Feeling in Peru

Lima, Peru, October 3, via Laredo Juno tion.-Up to the present time no new cab inet has been formed to replace that of Senor Zegarro just resigned.
 Rumors are current that Senors Durand and Para have fomented a revolution at Huanuco. This, however, is not given credence, as it is asserted that Durand is now in Lima and Parra, who has just organized an important mining syndicate, would not be apt to head a revolutionary movement.
 The population is greatly excited over the destruction in August last of the cele- brated convent of Ocopa, which is believed to have been the result of incendiarism.
