HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
The Aqc-HeraId Leads.

Printers Ink, the weil-known advertis- ing journal of New York. which is ac- cepted as the standard for this country, in an editorial article on Sunday News papers, in it's issue of March 18th. has the following in regard to Alabama news papers:
 "In Alabuma the Birmingham Age Herald IS entitled to first consideration from its accepted actual issue of 6,SS4 in 1899, aohile the Mobile Register and Montgomery Advertiser, both reliable substdntiat mediums, 'rith strong pro- pensity .for ciain,ing more and q some aohat persistent reputation for acithhold- ing definite information, are rated, the former aUith dn estimated issue tn excess of 2,250 copies, and the tatter in ercess of 4,O00. The Advertiser in 1894 shoaoed C smallest issue Of 5,70O and the Register in 1887 had daily arerage of 4,G77. There IS nothing tater in detuI from either paper. The Directory re- ports seem to indicate Mdt the output of the Register and -Idcertiser combined may not noao exceed that Of the Age Herald. {"

 In 1884 the Boers were anxious to rad some English territory. The action would possibly have involved in the end some dependence upon England. Jouoert stop ped the movement.

Mach:uists' Strike Ended.

In Chicago, in Cleveland and elsewhere where strikes in shops had been ordered machnists yesterday returned to work, and national injury and check to pros perity has been avoided It had been planned to call out a vast army of me- chanics but instead every shop has been filled, and all branches of skilled activity will go on in the machine shops as they did before difference arose between em- rloyers and officers of the machinists' un- ion.
 The exact terms of the settlement have not been made known, but it is known that work has been resumed pending an arbitration in which it is practically agreed that a nine-hours' day shall be conceded, but not exactly on the basis of ten hours pay, although it is said that some increase in pay will be made. The increase, if any, will not be large. It Is also agreed that the union is to be recognized in the shops, and the walking delegate is to be admit ted at all times. whether he is welcomed or not. GIe at least has secured an open door policy.
 But the terms of the settlement are not so important to the general public as is the main fact that a settlement has been reached. The employers have won by se- curing work e:'ding arbitration and the machinists will win in concessions to come. And the public at large are winners through the avoidance of Q general strike that threatened to tie up or cripple almost every industry in the land The result is more to the people of this country than a big victory in battle would have been.

JESS AND .I.lE

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The newspapers favorable to the selec- ton of Governor Johnston to succeed Sen atQr Morgan are generally supporting MT Stallings for governor. It looks very much like an understanding exists between those gentlemen, and that each one is pushing the other. The good people of Alabama will not lend their assistance to such a scheme. They will prefer to allow each tub to stand on it's own bottom.

TAKES ISSUE WITH POPE.
Assistant Attorney General Dona.
hover Rules on Warrants.

Assistant Attorney General Donahower
yesterday gave an opinion which takes is
sue with the public examiner in his recent
order changing the system Of paying out
county funds from treasurer's check to
an auditors warrant. The order in eff
feet provided for a safer system of audit
ing and paying out county funds. The
warrant for payment was drawn by the
county auditor and stamped and paid by
the treasurer.
Heretofore 1t has been customary FOR
the auditor, when payment was to be
maze, TO draw his warrant on the proper
tund. The claimant presented this TO the
treasurer, who issued his check for the
amount.
THE order of the public examiner would
do away with the check system by pro-
vldlng that the warrant should be stamp
ed by the treasurer accepted with the
date and name of the depository from
which the money is to be drawn The
holder would then present the warrant
at the bank and draw his money upon it
This is held to be contrary to law.
which provides that the treasurer shall
pay by check whenever possible. and
mark the warrant redeemed when II
remains IN his ONCE until returned to the
auditor on the date of redemption"
The opinion will interest county officials
all over the state. Copies have been sent
to Secretary Miller, OF the County Au IL
tors association, and fifteen other coun-
~ oudItOIS anu attorneys VINO have filed
inquiries.
The inquiries call attention to sections
40, l29 and 412 of the General Statutes OF
1894, and ask if the public examiner has
not overstepped his authority, who as
sumes to act under the provisions of sec
ton AZ, which makes it his duty to en-
force a uniform system of bookkeeping
by county treasurers and auditors. so as
to form suitable check upon their mu-
tual action and insure the thorough SUI
perYlsion and safety of county funds.
Mr.. Donahower holds that while this
gives the public examiner wide power
yet he must not contravene any. provision
of law, and section 735 of the statutes nro-
yldes that all payments by county treas
urers shall, as far as practicable be
made by checks upon the county denosi-
tories. This is held to mean the treas
urer's check in such form as is generally
accepted in commercial transactions as q
check upon deposited funds
The opinion further states that it is
not contemplated by law that the with
drawai of county funds from the deposit
tory shall be made by the auditor or
that he shall take any part whatever In
such an act The making of a check bv
the treasurer is a separate and distinct
act. chargeable to him by law, as is the
making and issuing of a warrant by the
auditor.
