TIE ONLY palLY NEWSPAPER IN ALAsAml
Montuomery's Mild Boycott.

The City Council of Montgomery re- gently directed it's street car companies to separate the blacks from the whites in every car employed by seating the blacks in from seats, and the whites in rear seats Such an arrangement Is reasonable and satisfactory in all the towns that have tried it. It is as satisfactory to the blacks as to the whites, because it ensures to the former seats that might otherwise be wanting in rush hours or on rush oeea- sions.
 But in Montgomery this plan is a novel, ty, and 1t creates friction and boycott The negroes are declining to accept front seats, and as they cannot have rear seats they are going a-foot The boycott Is on, in the language of the street, but 1t is altogether harmless, and will settle itself speedily. Race troubles that are amica- ble and forceful are, not only harmless, but they are also instructive. In the end the negroes will see that the proposed plan is altogether better than a plan that gives them no assurance of seats when they most need them. Both races should seek the line of least friction and resist ance, and the Montgomery ordinance is based on that excellent theory

leprosy in the United States.

In Hawaii the island of Molakai is de- voted to lepers there being on 1t from two to three thousand at all times. The num- Der is steadily maintained.
 But this country has many more Ieprous citizens in the Philippines, where accord ing to a recent report made to Surgeon General Sternberg there are now fully sO.- 600 of these unfortunate persons. It seems that the Emperor of Japan sent 150 lepers to the Philippines in 1633, and from that source the disease has spread throughout the archipelago until vast number of the population has become infected In a re- cent inspection of Manila fully 100 lepers were found concealed in various houses, while perhaps as many more, warned of the inspection, had fled to the country.
 It is believed that the administration will be compelled to devote one entire island to the lepers of the Philippines if it desires to keep the disase down. Tn victims of it need hospitals, and isolation on their part is the safety of the uninfected. The prob lem is one of many that the new possess sions and the brown people present

Kaiser covered 112 miles more than the Deutschland did The Kaiser's time to Cherbourg was five days nineteen hours and forty-four minutes. She steamed an average of 22.79 knots an hour, and it there fore required four hours and 1fty-four min- utes to cover the extra 112 miles. Subtract ing this time from her time to Cherbourg, we find that five days fourteen hours and fifty minutes is left. The Deutschland time was five days eleven hours and forty five minutes. She is a winner by three hours and five minutes.
 In this victory Germany wins place on the ocean long held by the Anglo-SaXon world, which chiefly builds the worlds ships. At present no liner is in course of construction that can meet either the Deutschland or the Kaiser in a race across the sea, and German commerce will be promoted by this new honor.

TELEGRAPHING CHINESE WORDS

From the Scientific American.
 All the principal cities of the empire have telegraph service. An arrangement was made with the Russian telegraph au- thorities in 1892 by which communication was established between Pekin and Flu rope. The apparatus and methods used in telegraphing in China are of the most primitive description. The Chinese have no alphabet, but each word has sign. In order to telegraph them, each sign has to be numbered and the number is sent by wire. The receiving clerk refers to his tables and translates the numbers into the Chinese signs. The tables resemble logarithm tables, the signs being printed in vertical columns and each column con- taining twenty signs, and as there are ten columns, there are POO signs to the page. There are forty-nine pages to the complete book, consequently there are $500 number ed signs Each square contains d sign for a word. The sender must write his mes sage in Chinese on a blank form; this is then converted into numbers and they are telegraphed. The average length of the words is four letters, but the words ire quently run to ten or twelve letters

MORGAN AND HUNTINGTON

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Just as the defeat of Senator Morgan would have been severe blow to the au- thorization of the Nicaragua canal, so must the death of C. P. Huntington be accepted directly favorable to the con- summation of legislation required to begin work on the great inter-oceanic water way. Senator Morgan is recognized the world over as the champion of the canal movement, and MT. Huntington was the leader of the opposition.
 Senator Morgan achived fame about the same time MT. Huntington acquired a fortune. For public reasons with which the commercial world is quite familiar, Senator Morgan favored the construction of the Nicaragua canal. For private req sons, consisting principally of the fact that MT. Huntington owned great railroad properties a canal would have damaged, he opposed the construction of the canal Sometimes has won and sometimes another.
 The canal bill will probably come up in the next Congress. With Mir Huntington out of the way Senator Morgan will doubt less succeed in passing the bill and will have the satisfaction of seeing the pet measure of his life the law of the land.

Jacobi's Extradition.

Extradition is on an uncertain foonng. the Supreme Court of the United States stayed his extradition a year or more, and Jacobi in New Orleans has by a similar appeal to the United States Circuit Court postponed his extradition to October or November at least. Prisoners who have money can postpone extraditon in the and sentences afterwards. In fact it has well nigh become impossible to bring to punishment the well-heeled man-the man, that is to say, whose pocket is full, no matter how guilty he may be.
 Sanford Jacobi is wanted for an alleged assault upon a young woman in Alabama, and he is prejudicing his own case by his efforts to avoid extradition. The truth is, change is needed in extradition methods J muddle is to be avoided, and men Brought to trial. The Nicely case in New York and the Taylor case in Indiana, and the Jacobi case in New Orleans, each and all serve to show what changes are need ed. State lines should not shelter men wanted for trial and preliminary trials over extradition papers should be abolish ed. They serve no good purpose, and are subject to abuses, especially on the part of prisoners who have or can command political pull or lawyers fees

HANNA APPOINTS NEGRO
On Advisory Committee of National Re-
 publican Committee

Louisville, Aug. 1.-The Courier-Jeurnal today says:
 Cyrus Field Adams, a colored editor, 1inguist and orator, has been appointed by Chairman Hanna a member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Com- mittee.
 Adams was born In Louisville and for many years his father was pastor of the colored Baptist church on Fifth street.
 Adams, who is now resident of Chi cago, is one of the most distinguished and learned negroes in the United States. He was educated at Oberlin College and at the completion of his college career in 1879 he began the publication of the Bulletin, a weekly paper devoted to the interest of the negroes.
 His ambition was remarkable and he keeny pursued his purpose to stand among the leaders of his race. In 1884 he made a tour of Europe, principally to study the German language. Upon his return he was appointed professor of the German lan- guage of the Kentucky Colored State Uni versity.
 Tn 1885 he organized and was prominent in launching the Appeal, which is said to have the largest circulation of publications of its class. It has offices in Louisville, Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis and Dallas. Adams is clerk of Southtown, Chicago, and for colored man made novel campaign. His linguistic ability proved most helpful and he addressed crowds of Scandanavians, Germans, French, Italians and Bohemians in their own language"

Emma Lazarus. 70 World-God, give me wealth." the
 Egyptian cried. His prayer was granted. High as heaven
 behold Palace and pyramid; the brimmiug tide Of lavish Nile wash all his land with gold Armies of slaves toiled ant wise at his feet, World circling traffic roared through mart
 and street,
 His priests were gods, his spice balmed
 kings enShrined, Set death at naught in rock ribbed chan
 nels deep.
 Seek Pharaoh's race today and ye shall
 find, Rust and the moth, silence and dusty sleep. 70, World-God, give me beauty!' cried the
 Greek.
 His prayer was granted. All the earth be-
 came Plastic and vocal to his sense; each peak, Each grove, each stream, quick with
 Promethean flame, Peopled the world with imaged grace and
 light The Tyre was his and his the breathing
 might
 Of the immortal marble, his the play Of diamond pointed thought and golden
 tongue.
 Go seek the sunshine race Ye find today A broken column and lute unstrung. 70, World-God, give me power! the Ro-
 man cried.
 His prayer was granted. The vast world
 was chained A captive to the chariot of his pride. The blood of myriad provinces was
 drained To feed that fierce, unsuitable red heart Invulnerably bulwarked, every part With serried legions and with close
 meshed code, Within, the burrowing worm had gnawed
 it's home:
 A roofless ruin stands where once abode The imperial race of everlasting Rome. "Oh, God-Head. give me truth.' the He-
 brew cried.
 His prayer was granted; he became the
 slave Of the Idea, pilgrim far and wide, Cnfsed, hated, spurned and scourged with
 none to save. The Pharaohs knew him, and when Greece beheld, His wisdom were the hoary crown of Eld. Beauty he hath foresworn, and wealth
 and power. Seek him today and find in every land, No fire consumes him, neither floods de- vour; Immortal through the lamp within his Aand.

MI, HANNA's HARD TASK
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
 The cabled report that MT. Kruger will contribute $2,50000O to the Bryan campaign fund follows appropriately the equally au- thentic report from Hong Kong that the Filipino junta there had contributed $5000,- 000 for the same purpose. That makes $7,500,000 subscribed in aid of Bryan outside the United States. If the funds do not reach much higher figures within a month, then the signs are misleading. The Tip perary hate-England league is expeced to contribute $10,000000 in Irish gold, while it is intimated that the international reds" ,I-e well-known society of anarchists, are raising a round billion among the factory girls and boys of Barcelona, Milan and Paterson N.
