mating force of the Cleveland administra- tion. and he carried into it the wishes and desires of his corporation practice in Bos- ton. When the labor troubles in Chicago arose it was he who applied in the most obnoxious manner government by injunc- tion, using 1t against the striking opera tfves and in favor of the corporations-using 1t, too. without the preliminary constltu- tional request of the governor of Illinois or even of the mayor of Chieago-using it until the corporations. notably the Pullman Palace Car company, were enabled to crush labor into an acceptance of their terms. This is one thing that MT. Richard olney stands for.
 His other great achievement consisted in throwing the then recuperating forces of the country back several years, carrying them to the verge of panic and widespread ruin by the unnecessary suddenness and violence of his attitude towards Great Britain in the Venezuelan trouble. All men now see that that coup was altogether un- utCeSSdIyB dIlu uHCdlHeQ TOT. lnOuSdHuS OL men were ruined by the semi-panic that he instituted, and they very naturally hold him responsible The arbitration that sue ceeded was never out of reach. Reasonable negotiations without a single alarming threat or feature could have procured it, but MT. Olney preferred the sensational route, hoping no doubt that it would land him in the White House. It has not carried him there, and 1t never will. It has pro- cured for him the support of the Commer- cial-Appeal, but the isolation of our Mem- phis contemporary in its own section of the country is only exceeded by the isolation of the Bos ton magazinst in the politics of the entire country.

A BIG SPINDLE

Joseph C. Metcalfe, a well-known real estate man in Brooklyn, is under arrest in New York He is supposed to know the details of the recent swindhng operations alleged to have been worked upon William D. Crinkley, of Hartman, Tenn, by Mrs E. E. Knights. of Sparkill, N. T.. who was known for many years as Ellen Peck, the "Queen of Confidence Women" Mrs Knights is also prisoner at the Tombs.
 MT. Crinkley is the owner of a planta ton of 1000 acre in Warren county, North Caro- lima, which is made especially valuable by reason of productive magnesia spring which it contains.
 About a year ago, according to the story MT Crfnkley told the police recently he wished to dispose of the property, and ad- vertised considerably. Mrs. Knights vis- ited him at Washington and at his planta ton in company with MT. Metcalfe. The woman so impressed him that he loaned her $7,0OO as a result of deal In zinc mines at Joplin, Mo. He also turned over the plantation in exchange for mortgages on other property. Today, however, Mrs. Knights was found at the Tombs and in- duced to reconvey the plantation to the impoverished owner MT. Metcalfe claims that in his dealings with Mrs. Knights he acted only as real estate broker, and his transactions were perfectly legitimate, and that he was himself deceived by the wo- man and her representations.

FRIENDS ADVICE TO THE PRESIDENT

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 How came it that the president, moved by the same impulse that yet sways the vast maj ajority of his fellow countrymen, has permitted himself to lend his influence to the perpetration of a political blunder that has sent a shudder of apprehension throughout the Union? It is a question that is being asked in every hamlet and home in the United States, and upon its answer depends more than was dreamed of in the mysterious meeting from which the Porto Rico bill came without a father and without a sponsor who would give to 1t his name.
 If congress and the president persist in their present course, nothing can save the republican party from defeat next Novem- Der. It will surely cost them the house of representatives, and it may cost them the presidency.
 Worse than any of these possibilities, 1t may involve the election of Bryan, with all that that implies.
 But one course is open to the republican party. Let it face the situation with the only spirit that can compel respect in the presence of stupendous and humiliating blunder. Let it acknowledge the mistake and make haste to regain popular con- fidence by undoing the contemplated wrong to Porto Rico.
 There is no shame in retreating from the verge of a precipice before taking the last irrctrievable step. The only salvation for the republican party is through the gate that gives free trade to Porto Rico.
 The country looks to President Mckinley to rise to the full stature of a statesman who dares to acknowledge mistake and to undo a wrong.

NOT TAXABLE


From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The question whether the lands of the University of Alabama were subject to tax alton came up in 1SS9 during the 'term of Auditor Hogue, and was by him submitted to Attorney General Martin for his opinion thereon The attorney general answered the question in the negative basing his opinion upon section 451 of the code of 1886 t39O7 of the code of 1S96), exempting the property of the state from taxation, and also upon sec ton 1863 of the code of 1886 (36S2 of the code of 1S96), and Clay digest, section 21, page 5S6
 Section 1863 of the code of 1886 (3672 of the code of 1S96) is as follows: "In addition to the rights, properties, privileges and fran chises herein granted, all rights, proper ties privileges and franchises heretofore by any act of the general assembly, granted to, or vested in the University of Alabama, shall vest and continue in such corpora tion"
 Section 21, page 5s6, Ciay's Digest, is as follows:
 ''The estate both real and personal, of the said corpora ton shall be free and for ever exempt from taxes, and the persons of all officers, servants and students, be- longing to said University, shall, during their continuance there, be exempt from taxes serving juries, working on roads and ordinary military duty" (From acts of 1922, page 26)
 If the lands of the university are taxable then the sixteenth section lands are equally taxable. It was long ago held. in Miller vs. state 3S Ala. 600. that the beneficial ownership of these lands was in the re- spectlve townships. Each township is cor poration. Code of 1896, section 3524.
 Under the law and the settled zaO,icy of the state none of these school lands have ever been subjected to taxation. p

Theory and Practice Contrasted.

Tine indanstrtlal commission appointed by a republican congress has presented pre- lininary report but that report has not been acted upon or followed up in any way. and 1t is wholly safe to assume that the esteemed Mr. Hanna wifi see that 1t Is not. He knows who his campaign subscribers are and he will see that thedr power to plunder the people ds not curtaled. He speaks for tthe administration and really for the republBcan party in general.
 Let us see what the industrial comrnts- sion has recommended. Tn the first place 1t recommends for the protection of invest ors algainst watered securities, detailed lists by promoters of all properties covered cealment or falslfcation to be punishable. Every certificate of incorporation should be full and explicit, and open-lo the in- speetion of every investor
 Directors and trustees are to report the condition of their respective companies in ampGest detail at least once a year, venfed by competent auditor. All stockholders are to have access bo all records of the
 company, and lasts of stockholders are to be furnished before annual meetings. And as to the trusts proper this recommenda- tion is made:
 'The larger corporaUlons-the so-called trusts-sGBouqd be required To publish an- nually a properly audited report, showing in reasonable detail their assets and Ma- Utilities, with profit or loss such a report and audit under oath to be subject to government inspection. The purpose of such pubMicty is to encourage competition
 when profits become excessive, thus pro- tectns consumers against too high prices and to guard the interests of employees by O, knowledge of tlle> financial condition of the business dn which they employed" JAS to the interstate commerce law, which is confessedly a failure under republican
 rule, it is recommended that the com-
 mission be given power to inspect and audit the accounts of railroads: to make its orders obligatory until reversed by the United States court of appeals; to make freight clasSffications, and to prescribe ap- propriate fines for viola tions of its orders.
 Am this is very fine in theory, but it Is only useful in showing how strong the republican party is in theory on the sub- ject, and how wabbly in practice It is vne friend and protector of trusts, and GIe report elf the industrial commission wGA serve to point out not only what 1t should do, but also what it will not do. It controls all branches of the government.
 md up to the recommendations of it's own
 commission. The gulf between it's reeom-
 mendations and it's statutes will be very wide, and MT. Hanna's camulirn list 6s
 the best and only comprehensive key to the difference.

WAR LIFTS DRUG PRICES
New York Letter in the Chicago Time Herald.

New York Letter in the Chicago Times
 Herald.
 The war in Africa has lifted the price of certain drugs so high that sickness has come to be a luxury. Cocaine quinine, aqua ammonia, fluid extract of ergot and iodide of potassium, for all of which there is a large and constant demand, have all ad- vanced in price since February l. Cocaine has doubled in value, while fluid extract of ergot, which a few weeks ago could be had for $LS0, now brings s4 pound at re- tail. This is said to be due to a scarcity of dry ergot in South Africa, because of bad crops. The price of carbolic acid has almost doubled which is due to the fact that the chemical is used so extensively in the making of lyddite shells that England has placed ban upon dts exportation. Oth- CT drugs have gone up in proportion, not entirely because of the Boer war, but pre- sumalbly because the various chemical trusts control the supply and can dictate prices.

BCEK WOMEN 60 TO WAR

From the London Chronicle.
 General Gatacre has notified the Boer commandant that it is understood that the wives and daughters of burghers live in or near the Dutch camps. He points out that this circumstance is contrary to the cus- toms of civilized warfare, and warns them of the danger and consequences. The gen. eral. naturally enough, is providing against future charges of having fired upon laagers sheltering women. The warning is timely and sensible enough but anybody who knows anything at all knows perfectly well that the Dutch womehfolk invariably &C., company, or at least follow, the camp. Jn- deed, the commissariat department Is largely, in point of fact, chiefly manned, by the women, and they not only urge, but cheer their kinsmen on to fight From a military point of view the Dutch vrouw is indeed the .'better half" and will neither need nor heed the warning. A great war rior debating with an advocate of peace, said 'tBefore you can dispense with war; you must change the views and disposition of the women." That is precisely. so in the case of the Boer women Clad in coarse dust-colored frock, gigantic apron that will serve thousand purposes. from hand kerchief to tablecloth, or, as they often say, "a British flag'-they declare the British flag is Mhite--and huge poke bon net that will ward off the rays of the hot test sun that ever burned, they will help to inspan the oxen and trek with their men to the frontier, and expose themselves to all the dangers of shot and shell and fever, and when the fighting men come back to dagger their food is ready and their tents in order

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Pope Leo's Ninetieth Year.

In history the pope who was an old man when he reached the chair of St. Peter, will no doubt stand out as remarkable repre- sentative of the nineteenth century. His name will be recalled together with that of Birmarck, who built an empire, and of the greater part of the century, and who did loosen some of the bonds that ancient rule had fastened upon the Britons. The pope has outlived, too, Cavour, who consol- idated kingdom under the very eyes and in direct opposition to his wishes Cavour died before his work was fully completed, but history will not fail to place him high among the great names of the century. Ab- raham Iincolns work of restoring tho American union was also accomplished in the long life of the successor of St. Peter. Except the meteoric career of Napoleon Bonaparte. the pope can doubtless recall from experience and memory every great name of the century.
 All the great names of the century were not, however, confined to bar and states manshp It has been a century bright In art and literature. Goethe and Dickens and Thacheray and George Eliot and Victor Hugo and Tolstoi all belong to the nine teenth century, and so do Tennyson and Heine and Milet and Turner and Bryant and Longfellow It was not given to the pope to witness the rise and glory of another Shakespeare, but he has lived at least to know more general excellence in literature and art than any one of his long line did
 In his time, too, came Eargin with his revolutionary theory of evolution, and Pasteur with his equally revolutionary germ theory, so far as disease is concerned. These were revolutonists of the most pro- nounced type. They left all beaten paths behind them. De Lesseps too, dug the Suez
 canal. and David Dudley Field laid the first long ocean cable. The invention of Morse and the use of steam in locomotives were all in the life of the pope, who is still in the possession of his faculties, daily strong for the advancement of his church and of the progress of the world. It is not too much to say that other life will so well cover and represent the passing cen tury in history as that of Pope Leo. Born and to-represent 1t after his work is done.
