The expression, "sub rosa," which
means literally, under the rose,'' had
its origin in the days of Xerxes, when
Pausanias, in 447 b. c., the COM
mander Of the Athenian and Spartan
forces, was engaged in n conspiracy
with the Persians to betray Greece
and to obtain the hand of the mon.
arch's daughter. The negotiations
were all held in a building attached
to the temple of Minerva, the roo
of which was covered with roses. The
plans were made "under the rose,'
and the conspiracy was discovered IL
the same place.

night last week. His guests numbered
1880 people, one-half of them EN-
ployes in his own mills. The belle Of

of the big mill. She is said to be
the only m in the country C

Our national motto, az Pluribus
Cnum," was suggested to John Adams
by an Englishman, Sir John Prest-
wick. Adams communicated the idea
TO the secretary of congress, Charles
Thompson, who, on June 20, 1882 re-
ported to congress his design for a
government seal; in it the Latin le-
gend was to be borne on a ribbon
held in the beak of an eagle.

Electric ~coal-cutting machinery is
rapidly displacing hand work and
other varieties of mechanical mining
appliances in the collieries of Great
Britain and the United States. The
coal thus mined is cleaner, the waste
is less and the effect of the machine
on the ventilation and temperature of
the mine is less than with any other
mechanism.

One reason for the increased produc-
ton of gold is the improved mechan-
ical devices for saving the metal in
low-grade ore and minute quantities.
A mining company in Alaska made a
profit last year of S673,961 from rock
averaging only $2.0s to the ton. Cy-
anide has fallen from 81 a pound to
Sc cents, and the cost of material
mined and crushed in the mine re-
ferred to was 90 cents per ton.

It has been stated hat there is not
a single representative of the fourth
generation of a purely bred London
family, and that if it were not for the
constant infusion of country blood the
population of the great city would be
in a fair way toward extinction. In
the London slums it is a fact that
the third generation born and bred
there lives and dies without any prog

Frisbie was one of the men who went
to the polls at Onarga, Iroquois coun-
ty, ILL.,, and cast his vote for William
Mckinley. 1t was the seventeenth
time Mr.. Frisbie had voted for pres

1882. When he walked to the polls
November 6, he wore the same vest

on his coat was the old and time
stained badge which he wore in the
campaign of 1910.

The Committees Action.

The democratic executive committee of Jefferson county did good work yesterday in providing for a direct vote for gover- nor To this extent the committee will fulfill the policy of the democratic party. The committee should have gone farther. It should have provid ed for a direct vote for senator in order not to have comph- cated local issues with the great senator tal contest. However, in providing di- rect vote for governor and separating the
 ernor and the candidates for senator, the
 committed did it's work we'll. As it now
 stands, these two great contests will not
 be complicated. Jefferson county will
 vote as between the candidates for gover-
 nor directly. As between the candidates
 for senator. Jefferson county will also
 probably vote directly. Further issues arising out of the legislative contest will, however, be subordnated to the senatorial race.
 IL was In evidence yesterday that the friends of the present governor of Ala baa are still in control in the Jeffers on county democratic committee. Yes this
 committee, fortunately, does not control
 the political situation in Jefferson county.
 The people of this county are overwheirn-
 ingly in favor of returning John T. Nor gar to the senate, and every indication
 points to a large majority for Morgan in
 the April primaries. It is rather unfor
 have to be subordinated to the senatorial contest. However, the indications are
 tGat the very strongest, most intelligent and most upright men will be selected by the friends of Senator Morgan as candi- dates for the legislature.
 The action of the committee yesterday in providing a direct vote in the contest for governor would indicate the great strength of John w. Tomlnson. A few weeks ago but few there were wno be-
 lieved that MT. Tomlinson could bring cratic committee by which he could secure a direct vote for governor. The people
 were, however, behind him, and the people
 forced the committee to act, in order that
 they might define themselves in the guber-
 material contest. The indications are that three-fourths of the voters of Jefferson county are for John w. Tomlnson for gov ernor. MT. Tomlnson has made an active contest. fIe is an able man. He has al ways been a devoted, an unselasn and a thorough democrat. In private business affairs he has been successful. In him .he public has confidence. If made governor he will reflect credit upon the state and upon himself.

THE TRUST PROBLEM

N. Y. Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
 Thomas Scanlon, of Liverpool, a student of affairs. has written an open letter on trusts" in Great Britain and the United States. He says; ''I have been at con- siderable pains to inquire if we had in this country anything approaching that alarm ing species of trade monopoly which our American cousins call trusts In Great Britain we have to search for trusts. In America they come unsought for and insist on remaining"
 In his letter MT. Scanlon declares trusts through the tariff. Says he:
 Our American friends are pust now re- ceiving a short lesson in the principles of free trade. They have built up high tariff walls in the interests of high prices If the American workingmen want high prices, by all means let them have them, but surely it is a little illogical for them to complain when the trusts and combinations have raised the prices to the limit allowed by the tariff
 .'The trust in itself is a harmless institu- ton; it is tariff, the element of monopoly, that makes it harmful. If they want to cripple the power of the trusts they must attack them through the tariff.
 "Whether the descendants of the men who fought at Bunker Hill and Lexington, at Gettysburg and Richmond, will be equal to the destruction of the new tyranny re- mains to be seen. But surely, If political liberty was worth fighting for, industrial liberty is worth voting for"

THE COMPRESS HAVE
 MADE NO PROGRESS

Washington, February 21-(SpeciaD-No progress has as get been made by the con- fereBces of the house and senate toward reaching an agreement on the financial bill. The republican members of the conference have met several times and discussed the general financial situation, and have soughS to find how firm each side stood. So far ffrmness prevails on each side, and st is impossible ito say when an agreement will be reached. It may be tomorrow and it may take a month. The house conferess are so far doing a1l the talking, the senate conferees listening aIbtenttvely and with as much interest as possible. It is a fact, how ever. that such experienced financlers as Senators Afdrdch and Allison are not in clined ito think that Represent atives Bros jus and Overstreet, the house conferees, are financial experts, though, of course they are courteous and do not make this point evident in their conferences.
 It is understood. however, that in one of the conferences, tine house conferees pro- posed to the senate to accept the refunding scheme provided the senate conferees would agree to the house proposition to permit the exchange of silver for gold. It would not appear as if the senate conferees would agree to this. The house conferees are de- cfdedly opposed to the amendment which declares that nothing in the act shall be construed as opposition to international bd- metallfsm. They hold this is unnecessary and poor politics. The senate conferees, however, seem bound to that idea With it in the bill Wolcott of Colorado, aCrter oe Montana, and Shoub of Idaho voted fir the bin in the senate, and If it be stricken out in conference they cannot vote for the conference report.
 There is one interesting point connected substituted its own bill for the house meas ure, there are no amendments that can be agreed to, and progress reported to each house. Ut must be surrender on aM by one house or the other, unless a new bill Is framed The latter course may be pur- sued, but 1t must be assumed, unless all traditions are destroyed, that the senate will get what is equivalent to it's bin. The senate will be perfectly agreeable after an agreement is made if the house conferees desire to represent the agreement as a prac- tdcal victory for the house. They wdll not be stricken for phraseology If the house conferees are found welded to certain words in their bin, but they will be con- tent with the knowledge that they have se- cured what they really care for. and will mot be disturbed if the house saves its pride by acting as if it had won out.

in July the Alabama will be ready to re- ceive a silver table service as gift from this state. All three are battleships, and very fine and powerful ships they wih be- too Before Christmas fifteen torpedo boats, capable of making from twenty-six to thirty knots an hour, will be completed.
 In March, 1901, the Illinois will receive her finishing touches. and the new Maine will sail the seas by November. These are battIeships. Three coast defense monitors, the Connecticut. Florida and Wyoming, will be ready for service in July, and six teen fast torpedo boat destroyers will be turned over to the government early in the year. They are guaranteed to make thirty knots an hour, which is express train speed
 In 1902 the battleships Missopri and Ohio will be in fighting trim, and so will the coast defense monitor Arkansas also. About July of 1902 the six protected cruis- ens, the Denver, Des Molnes, Chattanooga, Galveston. Tacoma and Cleveland, will be put in commission; and If contracts are executed by next July, the three battle ships, the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Georgia, and the three armored cruisers the West Virginia, Nebraska and Califor- mia, will become part of the navy by Oc- tober, 1903.
 The ships that the present congress may authorize can also be completed by 1903, if need be, although the chances are that bat tleships authorized by this congress will not be completed before 1904. The new na- wy will at any rate enter upon the new century with very good prospects. It will have big and trustful country behind 1t, and that is quite enough to insure its en- largement and maintenance. The country has practically accepted large navy however much it may disagree as to large standing army.

Uncle Sam's New Warships.

This congress is expected to authorize the building of three battleships and twelve gunboats; but leaving out what may be, and looking only to what is usder con- struction, and what has been authorized by congress, but not actually in course of construction, we see an addition to the na- wy of no less than sixty-one vessels. This of itself will be very handsome increase of the navy, and If the present congress keeps step with the last one in the con- struction of a new navy, this country will soon be outranked by Great Britain only; for no one reckons French naval vessels very high as whole, large as their num- Der is.
 By the end of the present year it is expected that twenty-two additional ves- sels will be added to the navy. The Rear sage win be ready for the crew in May; in June the Kentucky will be completed and

Text Books in Mississippi.

The people of Mississippi have met the American Book company and have come off second best The uniformity bill they had fondly expected to see enacted into law was similar to the Tennessee bill. which cut in two the prices that the American Book company had been exacting in that state. Prices of text books in both Mississippi and tion that consists in part of the American Book company and in part of teachers and county superintendents, and the parents pay the freight.
 The Mississippians thought they had elect ed legislature that would put an end to the monopoly and all it's exactions; and their bill did go through the lower house almost unanimously; but 1t went through the house easily to encounter Waterloo in the senate, where the agents of the Ameri- can Book company had done their work. and laid their plans.
 When the bill came up in the senate 1t was seen that the leading educators of the state were fighting in favor of two prices for text books: and in support of their po- siton these educators brought forward a great variety of arguments, not one of which was, however, worth the paper 1t was written on. Many of the leading edu- cators in all states are the agents of the American Book company, and if Alabama Is ever to be freed from the prices of mo- nopoly, and is to have text books on the terms that the people of Indiana or Kansas get them, the people of this state must elect legislators who will not listen to Heading educators"
 The agitation in Mississippi goes over to another legislature, two years hence, ana the American Book company will work the state one of its richest fields in the meantime. It can make in the intervening g two years enough to justify a very liberal outlay when the next struggle comes on.

South Carolina's New Act.

Instead of repeating her dispensary act South Carolina has amended it with view of making 1t a permanent policy of the state By its terms the old state board of control is abolished, and in it's place is es- tablished a board of directors, three in num- ber, to be elected by the general assembly for term of two years unless sooner re- moved by the govrnor. The chief feature of the new bill consists fin the power of re- moval conferred upon the governor of the state. He may remove a director at any time with or without cause. The power of removal is absolute. for experience has shown that it is necessary.
 A dispensary comnis sioner is to be elect ed by the legislature. to hold office two years, and his salary is fixed at sSOOO He, too, may be suspended at any time by the governor until the legislature meets again. All purchases of liquor are to be made by the directors upon bids submitted in answer tains very definite and detailed provisions as to the submission and opening of and action upon sealed bids in the furnishing of supplies of liquors.
 The dispensary commissioner has charge of the state dispensary, but his duties relate
 to the sale of what the board of directors buy, and in the sale of liquors he must obey the rules and regulations that the
