In most Of the valleys in Colo,
RADIO this has been year without
winter, especially is this true of the
Grand valley section Of the state.
People OF the east talk continually
of Southern California's climate and
many are wild to visit that Pacific
coast state during the winter sea-
son. These same people little
dream that in the heart of the
Rockies in the numerous valleys
nesting among these mighty
mountains-are sun kissed sections
that are more delightful to sojourn
in during the winter months. The
valley Of the Grand is one Of these

sections OF the United States are
cordially invited to visit Mesa

selves. But If a restriction upon taxation is needed in this State when 1t Is not need- ed elsewhere, let there be a little more el- bow room. Let there be anSopportunity for better public schools in communities that desire such schools and are willing to pay them. A provision in favor of local taxa tion for public schools to an extent to be named and with the endorsement of the taxpayers would certainly be harmless, and it would prolong the life of the new lnstru- ment, for in one way or another Alabama must have better public schools.
 There should be fair play and fair deal ing in this matter. The convention should not disregard the instructions of the peo- pie, and it is therefore best to have an un- derstanding as to local taxation for pub lie schools. Sovereign as the convention may be, it cannot afford to disregard the will of the people, and it assuredly will not do so.

PRINCE OF WALES INCOME.

From the Temple Magazine.
 The truth is that from the moment of his birth the Prince of Wales has been splendidly rich. He was born, as the Irish man would say, with sixty thousand a year in his pocket, and from that day to this the Duchy of Cornwall has yielded him that magnificent sum. At 22 the Prince marrieN and Parliament gave him Marlborough House and a we9ding pres ent of $4O,0O0 a year. That, too, has come to him regularly since 1863, year in and year out In 1889, when the Princes family ran away with his money Parliament once more came to his aid and nearly doubled the grant he had received since 1863 From 1889 the Prince has been relieved of the anxieties of father for the financial well fare of his children by a special grant of f36OO0 a year, which comes to him in quar- terly installments of f9OO0. So that the public income of the Prince is f136, ,O0O year. That is what it is worth to be the Prince of Wales.

Yellow Fever in Havana.

Dr. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer in Ha- wanna, admits there is a good deal of fever in that city, but his report for October shows that there is less than there was in many previous Octobers. There were in October 62 cases among Americans and 225 among Spaniards. Eight Americans died and 51 Spanidrds. Nearly every case occurred among new arrivals-that is to say, among immigrants who had not been on the island two years.
 There are 242, 900 people in Havanna, and out of this number there have arisen 9S6 cases of yellow fever since January l. These cases occurred in 397 out of S57 occupied blocks in the city-in 709 out of ,4S2 houses in the city. In only two blocks has the dis ease been at all epidemical. Only six deaths have occurred this year in the army.
 pr. Gorgas at present depends to a great extent upon isolation of each case as it becomes known, and disinfection and additional cleanliness. He hopes such work will be supplemented by a general sewerage system. He expresses the hope that such system will be begun 'at the earliest pos sibe date" It is of course idle to expect the city to be free from the disease until 1t is fully drained. SM

A GRATIFYING RESULT.

From the Knoxville Journal-Tribune
 The reelection of Hon. John T. Morgan to the United States Senate from Alabama, is something gratifying to the people of the whole country, irrespective of party. It Is gratifying because he is a man of ability and of high character, and because of his long experience. No man on either side of the Senate, or in Congress has given more attention to such questions as are likely to come up in connection with our recently acquired possessions. His counsel on these questions will be of great value.
 But these are not the dnly reasons why his election to the fifth term in the Sem ate is a matter for general congratulation, nor are they the chief reasons. Senator Morgan has not been in accord with the politicians in his State on the subject of territorial expansion. He has not been A blind worshpper of William J. Bryan. It Is pretty certain that he did not regard his nomination as an act of the highest political wisdom. But in spite of his differences with the managers of his party, on account of

GOvernor-EIect Samford's Condition.

Governor-eect Sanford will certainly be unable to go to Montgomery to be inaug urated December 1. This fact is made plain by the -Herald's. staff corres- pondent at Opelika But it is very likely that he can be sworn in under the con- stitut:on and the new act at or before that time If he should be able to take the oath all hold-over efforts would necessari- ly disappear for such efforts would then be the boldest usurpauon.
 The right of the people to know the con- dition of Governor-elect Sanford should not be questioned. They have the same right to know all about his case as the Russians have to know about the condi- ment in the one case and there should be none in the other. The professionalism displayed by some of the physicians is un- called for in this case. The Governor-elect is not a private citizen. He belongs to some extent to the State, and that extent is enough to call for frankness and open ness as to the condition of the distin- guished patient. Mystery and moonshine may be justified in the case of an indi- vidual in whom the public have no special interest; but in the case of the Governor elect it is not only unfair towards the peo- pie, but it gives occasion for upfounded reports. The attending physician, Dr. Drake, would serve the public and the af flicted family also if his daily bulletins were made explicit and plain, and suffi- oiently full of detail. There has been alto gether too much mystery in the case. The people of Alabama love the Governor elect; they have called him to fill the ex- ecutive office, and in return they should be told just what his condition is from day to day This is done in other States and other countries, and there is no reason why It should not be done in Opelilla- .
 Nor is there any reason why Colonel Sanford should not be sworn in when the new act becomes a law, if his strength will permit. He has lucid intervals. His physicians rightly oppose anything that would endanger his valuable life. but it is in before October 1. But not at Mont gomery, nor in the presence of the Legis- lature. Nor is this necessary under the constitution. The old act was an enlarge ment of the constitution. The new act is strictly within it's terms.

Mir. HarWnod's Bill.

The introduction of a bill providing for the submission of constitutional conven- ton proposition is timely and appropriate The Legislature stands fairly pledged to submit to the people such a proposition, and it may be that an early submission of 1t will become needfuL At any rate con vention would cost no more at one time than another, and perhaps. all things con cidered, the earlier the convention is held the better
 MT. Harwood's bill is substantially the one of two years ago. Provision Is, how ever made in it for the election of fifty delegates at large, as well as for one hun dred delegates by the counties according to the present apportionment of Representa- tives. The election of so large number by the State as whole would probably raise the standard of the convention, there- by giving the State higher service and a better instrument.
 The provisions of the bill relating to re- strictions upon taxation are, too stringent No people ever yet overtaxed themselves, although many have overloaded them

EFFORT MADE
To Extricate eport of Walker Canal
 Commission.

New York, November 20-It was reported in Washington, says a special to the Her aid, that burglars, who were after the forthcoming report of the Walker Isthman Canal Commission, had entered the build ing in which the commission has its of hces and had broken open the desk of Lieutenant Commander Staunton, secretary of the commission.
 Lieutenant Commander Staunton said last night that when he tried to open his desk a day or two ago he discovered that the lock was broken. His impression was that 1t was the work of burglars, who for some purpose were seeking to get advance information about the conclusion of the res port He sent for a locksmth, who per- suaded him that the lock had not been broken, but that the lock had become dis arranged in the course of usage.
 Final estimates of the cost of a Nicarau- gan canal have not yet been completed The engineers are still working on the~fig- ures. Approximate figures of the cost of the N1caraguan canal are believed to be about $l50 100000. The commission will re- sume its session in Washington on Thurs day, and it expects to remain at work throughout the week.

TYPHOID FEVER.

From the Montreal (Can.) Herald.
 Perhaps the principal trouble is in the ignorance or indifference of the people themselves. The prospect of a typhoid epi- demic seems to awaken no general alarm, and yet it is just as certain that large number of deaths will take place in given months of the year in this city from this cause as that the leaves will fall from the trees in the autumn. Rich and poor alike are subject to the dread visitatons. We have our smallpox scares at brief inter- vals. Of typhoid we seem never to be afraid. Yet the danger of death from smallpox in Montreal is not worth think ing about compared to the danger from typhoid if the two are measured by the mortality statistics. The indifference of the healthy public may, of course, be read fly explained but there is no reason why the culpable indifference of the health authorities should be condoned. The dan ger must be always present to them in its true aspect, and by them preventive meas- ures should be taken in time, if they have the authority; if they have not they should public no rest till they get it. To report as they reported to the press on Saturday, that a farmer had been forbidden to send typhoid laden milk to the city after twen- ty lives had been endangered by it, would be worthy of a barbarous people, without knowledge of physical science or without the means or the wisdom to be guided by existing knowledge. For a metropolitan city at the close of the nineteenth century it is a simple disgrace.

THE POETS LAY.

John Vance Cheney in the Atlantic Monthly. He that hath slipped from the Honey cell, Oh listen him, and wish him we'll! His are the thoughts that live with roses. With cloud shapes where the sun-gate
 closes;
 The glinings through green summer leaves Are in the measures that he weaves; There are all the secrets murmured, purled By brooks, or In the rosebud curled, Or in the winds of the nesting tree. Not sleep can keep from melody. Light fancy has he. frail and fair, l,Aj Like the orchid, rooted in the air; =, And yet so searching is his art !I Gray Earth grows happy at her heart | And wonders he, the while he sings, At strangest bright, eternal things s The accent is ont all his own, Betimes the god sings on alone. ...aS

TWO CAREERS.

From the New York World.
 The sympathetic letter from John Hay to Mark Twain, read at the authors dinner in honor of the latter, suggests the painful contrast between thes careers of the two friends.
 It is not too much to say that Mark the country. His admirers have to divide themselves into regiments in order to dine with him, because life would be too short for individual invitations. He is the only living man who is absolutely sure of place in the Hall of Fame because, as he com plains, no one will tell the truth about him. His only apprehension is connected with with the fate of one Aristides, who was . banished from Athens because he was too popular.
 Contrasted with this brilliant success, how melancholy is the failure of John Hay, who is now merely Secretary of State, an ex-ambassador anda serious historian! No enthusiastic crowds dispute for the dis tinction of giving him a dinner. No steam boats are being named after him. He does not complain that no one is willing to tell the truth about him.
 And yet thirty-five years ago, as between the two, the chances of real greatness were rather in favor of John Hay. He, however, chose to bury himself in the obscurity of politics, while Mark Twain steadily pursued the higher calling of lituerature, and his reward is at once the consolation and the encouragement of all our hopeful and bud ding army of literary aspirants

 Until the full vote is ascertained we will not know what MT. McKinley's majority is.

Bryan's vote-did he receive less or more votes in 1900 than he did in 1896? The losses in Colorado and Utah may have been offset by gains in New England and the Middle States.

Madame Bern hardt, who looked to be in the best of health, said she was glad to revisit this country, as she expects to write great deal of America in her memoirs which she is now preparing. The actress denied that Rostand was insane, and asserted that the stories to that effect had been circulated by the authors enemies.
