Philadelphia, Charles ofNeil, became the Father of the House Hs entered congress in 1862. and served nearly thirty years, but his service was once interrupted, and the loss of an election in 1870 gave Randall tho precedence. o'NeilI became the Father of the House upon RandaHs death. When O'Neill died Alfred c. farmer. also Of Philadelphia, succeeded to the honor. liar mer entered congress in 1870 serving con- tinuously to his death with the exception of the term beginning in 1874. He re-entered congress in 1876. and his recent death at the age of 75 is, fresh in the public mind. The Father of the House is now General Bingham, who entered it in 1878, and has never been defeated
 Judge Kelly and Samuel J. Randall won national regulations in congress, but this cannot be said of o'Neil, Garmer or Bing- ham, although all were good workers in the committee rooms, efficient in the high est degree. Philadelphia has not been overlooked when national favors have been given out, and altogether that city IS well satisfied with the record and honors and achievements that went with the title, the Father of the House. It has no intention of changing its far-sighted policy.

THE ONLY DAILY HEwspApER IN ALABAMA
MaFehinu on BIOemfontein.

The distance from Paardeburg, where Cronje surrendered, to Bloemfontein is about fifty miles, all of it out on the veldt away from railroad lines. But concentrated food in etins," as the English people say. renders campaigning possible away from railroads. Both armies are subsisting to great extent on canned goods. If they did not, they could not well be where they are, or recently were. This has enabled the Brit ish to move with celerity and dispatch. The mobility of the British army is in fact a their interior lines can move rapidly. They had not expected to encounter like nobil- ity, but the British under Roberts and Kitchener are displaying even greater no- bflity than the Boers have been capable of This is a surprise of this war.
 The past week has developed the fact that the untrained Boer cannot stand diversity. He has lost morals. Beyond all doubt the retreat from Modder river to or near BIoemfontein was discreditable to the Boers. They were stampeded by flank movements, and all the efforts of Kruger and Steyn, both of whom were on the ground. could not stay the panic. This is ominous for the Dutch. It was long ago demonstrated that the Boers had no ap- petite for a battle in the open, and Mod der river goes to show that they will not stand at all, unless all the risk is on the enemy.
 The present objective point of Lord Rob- erts is undoubtedly the railroad that comes up from Capetown, passing through Bloem- fontein, and terminating at Pretoria and Johannesburg When this railroad is held and put in good cnndt.e1, the final cam paign against Pretoria and Johapnesberg will be begun, and no great length of time will be required to shut up in those towns all that is left of the Dutch rebellion.

Fathers of the House.

Piiiladelphias record in keeping congress- men in continuous service is remarkable. For nearly half century that city has had the. honor of being represented by the Father of the House; and this was brought about, not by accident, but in pursuance of a settled policy in very steadfast city politically speaking. As a rule Philadel- plfia has been devoted to the republican party, except in one district, ever since the organization of that party in 1856, and in the exceptional democratic district a like policy of retaining an efficient member has been followed.
 The record was begun with Pig Iron Kelly, who was defeated in 1856 and 1S5S but was elected to congress in 1860, where he held seat until his death about a quarter of century later. When he died the honor of longest continuous service fell to Samuel ]. Randall, who represented the river or slum district of the city. He en- tered congress in 1862. staying in it until his death When Randall died another

Cost of the Dutch War.

The official estimated cost of the war in South Africa is 3OO,OOO,OOe, or just about the cost of our war with Spain. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, thinks this sum will cover the expenses of the war. Even if it does 1t will prove much the cosfliest war that the British govern ment has been called upon to undertake. at least since Napoleon Bonaparte's wild dream of universal power
 Modern war is expensive under any cir cumstances, but when rapid-fire guns and lyddite shells and balloons and the like have to be operated at the end of long lines of communication in an unoccupied country, sparsely supplied with railroads, expenses are rapidly accumulated. When supplies have to be transported by long lines of OK the stake is an African empire, and the spreading of civilization to continent, and the bill was resolutey faced in the house of commons, and voted without a division material change in its fiscal policy is not considered probable. Of the sum required, $2l5 ,Oo9 will be borrowed outright, to be paid by or before 1910. so that pos sterity will have no financial reminders of the Dutch uprising. This will be borrowed at 2% per cent interest at home. Taxes will be in creased pence in the pound on incomes, 9 pence a pound on tea, pence a gallon on spirits, pence a pound on tobacco, pence a pound on cigars, and 1 shilling on the brokers stamp tax. Some saving is to be accomplished on terminable annuities, and thus the entire amount will be secured without the imposition of a new tax, or any change in the fiscal plan.
 If the cost of the war is kept within the estimated sum, as now seems probable, England will not long feel the cost of the war, great as it is, nor will she be sub jeeted to the vexations and distressing taxes that now affect this country. The difference is due, not to difference in wealth. but to a difference in sense. England levies an income tax upon accumulated wealth, and America would have done so if Justice Sheras had not vetoed it,

THE PILGRIMS JOURNEY

Emma A. Lente, In N. Y. Observer. The Guide said: Trust to me. Scarce one step canst thou see Along this shadowed way. Child, follow me tbis day! On either side et4 ;t Stretch meadows fair and wide, But there the creeping, deadly ivy grows Beside the gay and fragrant briar rose, And where the grasses wave most rank and
 green, The quicksands lie which verdure serves to
 screen" The Guide said: Follow me, Though rough the pathwaySbe Where scarcely thou canst stand, I'll hold ,thee hand in hand, And lead thee on. And keep thy steps the narrow way upon; And, thus upheld, Thy fear and doubling quelled, Up to the hills thy strengthening feet shall
 climb,
 And thy glad heart forget this weary time; Lo, give no longing thought to all that may Seem fair and tempting in thy sight today" The pilgrims heart was stirred With joy at that sweet word; He turned his eyes aside -, From the green meadows wide, And said, with lifted head: Lead me Thy way. O Guide; Those fields of pleasure wide Shall never solace me, But will walk with Thee. I shall not fear But will walk with Thee shall not fear
 The craggy steep, If Thou be near, Nor the dark misty valleys gloom and chill And Hneliness. if Thou walk with me still; And after that--I, too shall see and know The glorious ending of the way we go!'

wHEELER', TRIBUTE TO FILIpINos

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 General Wheeler was more favorably in- pressed by the Fthpinos than some Amerf- cans have 3een. He not only credits them with industrious habits and kindly dis position, but is inclined to believe that they might be trusted safely with considerable powers of self-government Experiments in home rule throughout the provinces have been very successful, he says, and he thinks that it would be wise to allow the natives to make their own laws on the terms &C., corded to our territories.
 This is a policy which all Americans would favor if they were only as certain as the general that his estimate of the char acter of the people is correct. Alternatives are proposed merely on the plea of a dis agreeable necessity, and for this reason any testimony which makes for settlement in strict keeping with our historic preeedents will be welcome
 The evidence presented by the self-gov- erning municipalities already counts for siderably strengthened by some of the ob- servations which the general has made. He found, for example, that uncompro- missing hostility to American sovereignty was confined to a comparatively small number of malcontents. These were per- sons who had fallen directly under the in- fiuence of the insurgent leaders, so that originally only one-sixth of per cent of the population could be induced to carry arms against us. That was an exceedingly small fraction to begin with, and 1t must have been very perceptiby decreased since.
 Outside the armed force there were at first, no doubt, many natives whose per- sonal sympathies were extended to the men who engaged in the insurrection, but it is questionable if their political sympathies were largely enlisted. When nrake a. lowances for those whose tae m4v have been embittered by the tIHs and relatives on the. field of b. |

It Is strengthened also by the inevitable longing for peace, order and restored in dustres.
 |~ If opposition has thus gradually disap- peared and the temper of the Filipinos is rather quiet then seditious there is reason to hope that they may prove ts>Ezselves worthy of territorial privileges within a short time. But before this question can be taken up In practical way the rebellion must be thoroughly suppressed.

Small National Banks.

Under the gold standard law 1t is be- lieved many small national banks will be started throughout the country, and es- pecially in the west and south. Some capi- talists are preparing to start strings of them in small towns, and the movement is so extensive that some look for the estao- lishment of fully 1000 new national banks within a years time Most of these would be banks with a capital of $25,0oo each
 The facility with which bank can be started under the new law is not generally understood. Any one who can command $1,0OO capital can then start national bank, if he can induce a bigger capitalist than himself to purchase for him s25, 900 of 2 per cent government bonds. By sending these to Washington he can procure tine full amount of their face value, leaving him out of pocket only the premium on the bonds, about $500 or $7OO, and with na- tonal bank charter hand an asset. All he then has to do Is to open his doors for deposits.
 This would not be the best kind of bank ing, or the most trustworthy, but it is bank that would be wholly feasible under the new law and it is plan that .wip 5e freely tested. The depositor is the only one who tonal origin and authority.
