In New England. She first participated in a
muster at Bangor in 1856, when she defeated
Tiger 8 in a hot contest. At that time Tiger 8
was considered about the best engine in the
State, so the newcomer instantly won fame.
Others she has beaten in contests are Union

in State affairs by the court journal is very significant. It should at least lead the court journal to say, for eonsisteney's sake, that the Governor-elect can be sworn in anywhere by any officer authorized 10 administer oaths, for the constitution does not say the Governor-elect shall be sworn in on December 1 before the two houses of the Legislature As the court journal has made the constitution fetish, let it observe it's terms and stand by it's limited demands Under that constitution the people of Ala bama hayeplaced William D. Jelks and Francis L. Pettus in the line of succession; for this is necessarily and largely repre- sentative government. on account of it's size. and the people can and do act in that way as well as at the ballot box The court journal should take something for brain fog

Reld Up bv the Senate.

The educational institutions of the State have been severely damaged by politics, and it is time now to have them out of the realms of party. The two should be ut terly and thoroughly divorced, They are incompatible, and the institutions get all of the punishment. In this view of the case the Age-Herald is inclined to think tine Senate acted wisely in postponing ac- tion on the nominations for trustees of the University of Alabama and for the Auburn polytechnic institute until December II.
 At that time the new administration will be in control of the States affairs, and manifestly it should be permitted to name the agents through which it will act. And besides by that time faction and party can be laid aside, and judgment and reason came into operation It is better for both institutions that action be delayed until the trusteeships can be filled without the bias of faction appearing on the scene at all These trusteeships carry no salaries, but they do carry the control and super vision of institutions of the deepest inn portance to the young men of the State Too much care cannot therefore be taken in filling these places. Men who are free from and above faction should be chosen The best men in the State are wanted in these positions, and Governor-elect Sam ford will summon no Alabamian in vain in filling these trusteeships, for no one is greater than they are, and no one will despise such appointments for useful and valuable service.

IF oplY OMlY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Homes for the Boers.

The vossische Zeitung, one of the lead ing papers of Berlin, warns the German colonial authorities that they are fostering a great trouble in German Southwest Afri- ca when they invite, rather permit, the unfortunate Boers to trek thther It sees that the Boers would not trek from comfor- table homes and surroundings if they were willing to accept any superior authority, They are, says the Zeitung, incapable of accepting orderly conditions" They want independence because they have long prac- tieally had it, and they will not accept less They want an independent political existence, and the Berlin organ does not desire to see a state within a state in Southwest Africa.
 The truth is, there is only one place where the Boers can be politically comfor- table, and that is in the United States. Once settled in a Western or Southern county in considerable numbers. they could control all of their domestic, local and home affairs and could have voice in all state and national affairs. There is no other place where they can be at once so Independent and so comfortable, and the wonder is that they do not see it. There are plenty of Hollanders in this country, and the Boers are Hollanders as well as Afrikanders. They could keep their lang uage, their religion and their traditions in this country as long as they so desired, al- though in the long run they would lose their language and to some extent their traditions. They would be benevolently assimulated in the course of a few gener- ations, stubborn and steadfast as they are.

hinged upon the matter of who had the most money to pay
 Hayne and Phinzy were the rival can dldates. It is openly stated that when the polls opened 5 was offered for Hayne votes, which was doubled by the Phinzy men and the market price went steadily up to S2O when a stampede occurred to Phinzy, and the market went off to s1 and g, and the regulation price that was wont to be paid to the brother in black was paid to those degenerate members of the Cau- easian race. There were some who held out for s25 a vote, and when the market slumped upon them they were intensely disappointed and proceeded to have some friend kick them around the block. Phinzy was elected but it is asserted that not less than $50O0O was spent in doing so.
 The Hayne cry during the campaign to those who were open to purchase was take the Phinzy money, but vote for Hayne." 1 his plan was circumvented by the Phinzy men paying only those who proclaimed that they were illiterate and asked for Phinzy marker Think of white primary conducted upon such lines and realize how important it is that the Alabama Legisla- ture should make a law that will make such an occurrence impossible in this State.
 It is a serious condition to contemplate upon the heels of a Greater Selma move ment, and a law is needed that will make such wholesale bribery felony and forever bar both parties to the trade from holding office in the State.
 The writer witnessed such scene as is described above, on an occasion in this State, and it was with a sense of humilia- ton for the proud race to which he belonged that he viewed how low had fallen some of it's representatives. And the openness, the absence of shame, aye, the industry of the whole proceeding, was disgrace and there should be a stringent penalty attached to such proceedings.

WATERWAY TO THE GULF.
rom the Atlanta News.

From the Atlanta News.
 Members of the river and harbor commit tee of Congress are inspecting the work on the Coosa river, the Alabama river and the harbor at Mel r., with a view to recom- mending an appropriation which win com- plete the work necessary to open this wat erway to the Gulf of Mexico.
 This is a matter of immense importance to the people of Georgia and Alabama. Once we have established water cbmmuni- cations from Rome to the gulf we will have done much to equalze freight rates, which are notoriously high in this particular sec ton of the south. Even with portion of the Coosa river open, Rome has been able to secure some advantages in rates. With a complete waterway to the gulf the ad- vantages would be greater.
 The balance of forces which bear upon the fabric of railroad rates is so elaborate that a change at one point, Rome for in- stance is likely to cause other changes for the purpose of equalizing the advantages of competing concerns on other lines of rail- way. If water communication is opened to Rome the beneficial effect upon railroad rates would be felt at the same time in other places in this section of the south.
 Alabama's resources are likely to get a stimulus through the opening up of the Coosa river, which flows close by the coal and iron district and directly through a part of it.

 I've have just finished our report to the Alabama Legislature on the facts connect ed with the proposed annexation, and it will be printed within a day or two. A powerful committee from Pensacola will visit the Alabama Legislature in order to make oral reports. I apprehend no pro- longed or stubborn opposition to annexa- ton on the part of the South Floridians.'
 
 MT Sydenham Moore and Col. Robert c. Jelks have returned from a bird-huntng stay of a week on Mr. Moore's estates in Greene County. Asked if they hurt the birds to any extent. Colonel Jelks declared that he and MT. Moore "scared 'em right smart;' but declined ta admit that any birds were actually killed by guns or other deadly weapon.
 My debut was most successful, judged by applause and flowers" writes Miss Car rie Bridewen from California to a friend in Birmingham. The tone of her letter Is abun- dantly happy. She will sing at Salt Lake City and Denver. and on the 18th of De- cember she will appear with her company at Minneapolis, from which city the com pany will proceed direct to New York to open the season of grand opera in the metropolis.
 Former Congressman William H. Denson has taken into law partnership with him self Mr. M. M Ullman, who has been for four years in Colonel Denson's office. MT Ullman is one of the brightest and most capable of the younger lawyers of Birm- ingham," said a lawyer of experience, and the new partnership is fortunate for both him and Colonel Denson."

A BREATH OF MORN.

Maurice Thompson. Flow in upon my soul oh, wind of morn! Touch me with ancient tenderness and
 faith; Thou perfumed wait from fields of bloom
 ing corn, Woo me- lure me from this poisoned shore
 of death. I hear far voices, sweet as flutes, soma-
 where,
 Calling me into darkness, and I know Their soft insidious languor on the air Comes from the land of burial, damp and
 low. Blow on me. oh, thou current of sweet
 youth!
 Come back, dear days Of boyhood and
 bright dreams; Arise again, thou white, clear bloom of
 truth;
 Babble once more, oh, careless morning
 streams. Kiss me, warm lips of purity and love; Sing to me, lasses of the meadow lands; Blind me with blossoms from the sacred
 groves
 Wherein the temple of my childhood
 stands. Lo! am sick to death of manhooa's ways, And long to be a fighting man no more; No more for me the changing iron days, So let me live my happy Maytimc o'er Blow on me, wind, out of the early morn, And bear away from the wear and fret; Bring me the perfume of the blooming
 corn,
 And I will sing through many spring
 time yet!

Action by the People.

The court journal in pursuance of a gen. eral plan, says the people exhausted their powers when they elected William J. Sam ford Governor; that the constitution in- stead of the people does the rest; that the people had no hand in naming William D. Jelks and Francis L. Pettus as possible occupants of the gubernatorial office.
 Who made the constitution? The people What Is the constitution? The mere defin- ing of certain powers and duties, all of which may be repealed or modified by the people at any time. It is the convenient creation of the people, and all state pow CTS not named in 1t are reserved by and to the people.
 The people acting under their own instru- ment chose by ballot William J. Sanford to be Governor; acting through their own representatives and under their own creat- ure. the constitution, they then chose Will liam D. Jelks and Francis L. Pettus to take the chief office If Colonel Sanford could not. Every step of the succession was step of the people, for the people, by the people, and in accordance with the peo- ple's instrument, the constitution.
 The court journal goes on In its cus- toinarily idiotic manner to show that sov- ereignty in this State has little CT no re- la ton to the people, but that "the rights and liberties of the people" are deposited altogether in the constitution and the Su- preme Court. This Is simply rot. The source of all power, all sovereignty, is the people The people have put some things in con- stitution--a constitution by the way they are nearly ready to annihilate--and they possess a great number of rights and lib- critics" that are not even referred to in the constitution All rights and liberties not specifically named in the constitution. about to be repealed, are in the people. the sole, true and original sovereigns.

November Cyclones.

It is difficult to account for the storm cay night several States. It did not come from the Caribbean Sea, for it's appearance was first noticed in Arkansas, and so far as the wires have brought reports it did not come from the Far West, that great nursery in this country of severe storms. It seems to have spontaneously arisen, and the hot and cold currents of this spell of weather in Arkansas, crossing the river into northern Mississippi, and .swerving then into Tennessee, which received the brunt of the storm, and extending to the great lakes by way of Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
 The most we do know about 1t Is that Alabama had a narrow escape. What Ala bama escaped, Tennessee got, and the loss of life in that State was great, and the loss of property considerable. Altogether about 100 lives were sacrificed to the Storm King on Tuesday night.
 This storm seems to have been more of tornado or straight blowing of wind than of a revolving or cyclonic storm. It may indeed have been both The destruction at Columbia Tenn, seems to have been the work of a cyclone for everything in a narrow path was levelled to the ground Outside of the narrow path no damage was done.
 At Colorado Springs high wind occurred on Tuesday, but from Colorado Springs to Arkansas, distance of at least 300 miles, no reports of damage have come. It is impossible to connect the Colorado storm with that which ravaged three Mississippi valley States The best evidence is that the dangerous winds were bred in the States they damaged, and that the excep- tional weather is responsible for them

Reciprocity.

Washington, November 22.-Negotiations are in progress between the State Depart ment and the Russian government looking to the making of a reciprocity treaty under the terms of the Dngley tariff act. As both countries are large producers of raw ma terial, and Russia Is making enor- nous strides in the development of manu- factures of metals and textiles it is with great difficulty that the plenpotentiaries can find articles to form the basis of tariff reductions for such a treaty.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
,e Editor of the Age-Herald.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 Your paper of the 22d of November calls attention to a matter of proposed legis- lation with reference to street. etc, inn provements in the city which deserves more than a passing consideration by the people to be affected by it. l allude 10 the owners of property in the city. Ihe act under which recent improvements on the streets have been made is of the most stringent and grasping character. It compels the property owner either to pay cash for these expensive improvements or else pay 8 per cent interest if he pay in ten annual installments Money can be borrowed to meet these payments at or 6 per cent, while the property owner must pay per cent. I can illustrate the work ing of this law as 1t operated on me own a lot near the intersection of Eleventh avenue and Twentieth street. South, and the City Council has recently paved the street on its front with brick. The bill sent in for the work is S6SS.6S, and there is yet some $2O0 more to be done. This will make the total cost on that lot for paving the street-not the sidewalk-nearly 800.
 In most cities the expense of this public improvement is borne by the public Qhe city), and the lot owner in equal propor- ton, while In Birmingham 1t falls exclu- sively on the lot owner The law as it now stands was gotten through the Legislature without discussion by those most inter ested; is cruel in it's operation and amounts to practical confscation of private prop cray for public use. The man who makes bricks outside of the city will enjoy car nival of prosperity in the early future. He eats the cream that another man has to pay for. ROBERT CHISOLM.
