lMpERlALlsM.s FIGHT.

Members Of congress this week have
been greatly interested in report from
the committee on ''our colonies" Nc
Kinley recommended that Porto Rico lie
put upon the same basis as one OF our
territories. AMI the committee has
reported against the recommendation of
The president. So there is q row in the
Republican camp, The protectionists
are dead against letting the products OF
1'orto Rico come into this country free OF
tariff. On the other hand il Porto Rico
is part Of the United States the consiitu-
ton expressly declares that duties shall
he uniform. There is no place in the
constitution where colony" can be pro-
vided for. This difficulty has been
pointed out for months, but they could
not see it until they ran smack up sgAinst
it. The same question will face them in
the Philippines. Republican protection
may be doomed and We may not hear
20 much about protecting American
labor from the cheap labor of EUROPE.
Even should the Republicans attempt to
evade the responsibility by establishing
colonial governments, patterning after
the English methods in India, with e
discriminating duty, some one is SIRE to
test the constitntiouality OF the law and
defeat its object. The prospect before
the American laboring man is that he
will soon he compelled to compete with
50, oOo. 600 hall cizilized colonial SUBJECTS
whose labor will be owned and controlled
by the trusts, and il he expects any
mercy iron these mon rpOlies he is sadly
mistaken. Tie outlook for the future is
not very bright, but the common people
must not lie allowed to stand in the way
OF extended commtrae and the opportu-
nifty to give the trusts greater hold on
the world. In this great battle OF i'm
p-rialism against the constitution, which
will win in the end?

Johnston Grass to be Rooted Out.

Congressman Burleson, of Texas, has caused an appropriation of 5000 to be in- serted in the agricultural department ap- propriation bill, to be spent in experiments and efforts for the destruction of John- ston grass. Texas is peculiarly affected with it, but there are other localities that suffer from Johnston grass, and Alabama Is one of them In fact, we are prone to consider this state the home of the plant that has many roots some reaching even into mineral lands.
 There Is "too much Johnston'' everywhere In this section, and the government can well afford to spend 5000 in a serious effort to find a remedy against the evil growth. By the terms of the appropriation the ex- perimepts are to be confined to Texas but what succeeds in Texas can be readily ap- piled in Alabama, although the Texas ex- periments may come after our chief crop of Johnston grass has been cut down and eliminated. In that case we can apply ary crop, which will be something. It is scarcely possible that 5000 will suffice to root out all Johnston grass in this country, or even to point the way to such a desir- able result. It Is a plant that has taken deep root in all parts of America. It is extremely luxuraut in the democratic city of New York and in the republican city of Philadelphia. It knows no section, no par ty, no nationality. No small appropria- ton can suffice it; but still let Mir. Burle- son proceed. He will do some good, even if the chief crop goes unscotched.

Mir. TomIinson's Party Services.

Because John W. Tomlinson has not sought a seat in congress, thereby keeping his name before the country, it should not be thought that his services to the demo- cratic party and ito the country have been unimportant. As member of the national democratic advisory committee in 1896, and as chairman of the national democratic silver committee at the present time, MT. Tomlinson has served in the highest coun- cils of the party; and no man living can say that he has. not been faithful to the utmost ito his convictions throughout all his serv- ice. He has served in national campaigns and in state campaigns, giving both his time and his means without stint, and he has never in the course of his long service held an office. It would seem as if man so competent and so devoted should be for once rewarded, and the Age-Herald is con- fident that the people will this year remem- Der a man who has never faltered in their service.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Preparing for the Primaries.

The meeting of the democratic state ex- ecutive committee, on Friday, was fully at- tended. and it's action throughout was un- marked by bitterness, or by threats of any kind. It was reasonably harmonious. The time of the session was chiefly taken up in hearing and deciding appeals of local inter- est only, and the only business that was of general interest occurred near the close of the ten-hour sitting: The committee very properly decided that the time for the hold ing of county convention or primaries should not be changed; and at the instance of MT. Lomax it passed this resolutions:
 Resolved, That in the adoption of the
 resolution fixing the qualifications of
 voters. adopted at Birmingham on De-
 tober A 1S99 it was. not the sense of
 this committee, and it was not intended
 to permit negroes to participate in the
 beat meetings and primaries of the par
 ty, and none but white men shall par
 ticipate therein"
 This action of the state committee will be approved wherever patriotism and the love of public order and decency are rated higher than personalism. The democratic ---NNO~N---NN . This position may not be ethically impreg- nable, but it is the logic of eircums tances, and whoever assails or in any manner in- frnges upon it jeopardizes the welfare of the state. The committee acted wisely in making the fact plain that negroes need not apply at democratic gatherings. Self-re- specting negroes will not apply, and dishon- est politicians should not be permitted to introduce riffraff negroes to serve selfish purposes. The resolution of the state execu- tive committee is party law, and every county committee should see that it is fully enforced The meetings of April II are white mems meetings, and negroes are warned by the state executive committee to stay away from them. This warning will be made good.

Schools of Jefferson County.

The Age-Herald prints this morning the semi annual report of Superintendent Jerry Fountain. It is a gratifying and surprising document, and it should be read and re- read by every taxpayer and every parent in the county.
 Without the aid of the Bulger tax which the state has unlawfuly withheld from use in this scholastic year, and actually with the use of less money than his predecessor had, MT. Fountain has abolished the vicious pay" schools, which were a bar. and an insult to the very poor, in many districts lin such districts as East Lake, Elylton, West End Mary Lee, Milner, Twenty-hrst Avenue, Cotton Mills, Lakeview, North Birmingham, Jonesville, smfthfield and East Birmingham. In some of these places 6 small incidental fee has been charged on account of rent and fuel, because the state singularly does not permit its funds to be used for such purposes, although the commonwealth furnishes neither of these necessary articles. The state law will, of course, be amended in these particulars.
 Be that however as it may, Superintend- ent Fountains report shows that with reas- enable and proper management the public funds are now sufficient to maintain real and genuine free school in nearly every district at least six months in the year. This fact is amply demonstrated by Su- perintendent Fountain, and the value of the report chiefly consists in this demon- stration. This report should be printed and circulated in every county of the state. It is an object lesson to all other county superinendents. It shows that when county has a competent county superin- tendent it need not have pay" schools-it can have free public schools. When the Bulger tax becomes available next Octo- Der there will not be "pay'' school In Jefferson-that is to say, there need not be, and there will not be if Superintendent Fountain Is reelected; a fact which the Herald declines to doubt, for it be- Heves the people of the county will appre- ciate good service when they see it set before them in black and white beyond suc- cessful contradiction. Figures may some- times lie, but Superintendent Fountain do not Read them, and vote accordingly.

Decline of a Church.

A net loss of 21 900 members in the North ern Methodist church is attracting wide attention, and all sorts of theories are spun fn explanation of it. Not one of them, however, has much to rest upon. higher spirituality Is called for. All this is excel lent in phrase and rhetoric, but very poor in point of fact
 When poor, but worthy woman from the cotton mills or other mills, or from home in another section can go to church wearing a sunbonnet without undue and upneces- sary humiliation, then indeed the less opu- lent portion of the people can be recalled to the churches, and the poorer half or three-quarters cannot be recalled one mn- ute sooner.
 Many churches in this country are or ganized on a basis that assumes that the less opulent have no pride--that pride, which is natural feeMng or failing in- born in every human breast, should be monopolized by those who can pay literally for its display. This may be a sound po- sition in law and economies, but 1t is not sound enough in morals and religion to fill the churches. If people rode to church in rubber4tired carriages, wearing S2OO suits, in apostolic days, the fact is not recorded in the Bible The Saviour of the world did not travel in that manner from one con- gregation to another, nor was he richly at tired, nor was he attended by high-salaried assistants nor did his congregations sit in exclusive pews nor did they listen to clas- sfcal music from artists of high repute. ventions and the tighter the lines are drawn the simmer the congregations be- come.
 There is no need of looking for other ex-

planations The trouble exists chiefly in the cities of the land. but it Is not wholly unknown In the country. Rome has sense enough to see what is the matter, and is trying to weed out the evil. The other churches mhst do likewise if they desire to avoid afrepetttion of the fate that has oventaken branch of the great Methodist church, a church that was once freer from caste than any other church in the land. The woman in the sunbonnet is the truest and best test of the presence of caste in q church.

The ambassador of a proud court, calling to see great king, was informed that the majesty of England was playing with his children and declined to be interrupted. That might have caused war. But the worlds dread and fear of kings forgotten in the play and mirth of the innocent little heirs to greatness is a picture that appeals to us>across the wastes of dead centuries.
