Lowe and White.

For their splendid and able services to the Democratic party as chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee and as chairman of the recent John T. Morgan Campaign Committee Robert J. Lowe and Frank s. White, respectively, should go as delegates to the constitution al conyention-both from the State at large, or one from the State at large and one from the Ninth Congressional District. These two men have been the leaders in the State in the movement for constitutional convention. They have consistently and ably urged the holding of convention for several years past, and to their splendid leadership is in large measure due the success of the movement.
 Both are able, earnest, conscientious Democrats, always ready to serve the party and always wise in advice and leadership Both should be sent as dele gates representing all the people. The Age-Herald is confident that the suggestion of both names will meet with enthusiastic approval from all sections of the State.

BAD PRECEDENT.

From the New York Herald.
 The House of Representatives has estab. lished dangerous precedent in passing the joint resolution to make one of its members, Charles A. Boutelle, a captain on the re- tired list of the navy. It has created sits uation that is new and intolerable and has opened the door to abuses of the gravest character.
 The obnoxious nature of the measure must have been understood, for the timid promoters slipped it through when they knew a quorum would not be present. The explanations given by MT. Littleaeld of Maine are misleading. In seeking by devi- ous methods to benefit his colleague he has done an injustice ito the whole navy and has been grossly unfair to officers who after long and faithful service have been retired in grades junior to that given to MT. BouA telle.
 No one questions the general good work done by the late chairman of the naval committeeman the sympathy of the nation goes out to him in his distress. But there are other methods of rewardng or repaying him, and if Congress believes his services worthy of substantial recognition, let 1t in full session, when the question may be de- bated. suggest a legal means to this end. The bill should be killed in the Senate

charge Politics should take no part In the selection of a president Under the cir eumstances, unless an educator can be se- cured in Alabama who has never taken part in politics, man should be brought from the outside to-take charge of this great educational institution and elevate it to the standard of the great uniVersi- ties of America. Why should not the Uni versity of Alabama stand on the same high plane as Princeton, Harvard or the Univer- sity of Virginia? Our young men are en- titled to-~thorough education, and when they go to the University they should be required to abide by every rule of the school and be forced to study
 1 don't know anything about the original cause of the trouble, but I do know that had l been in President Powers place. I should have expelled every young man in the school who took part in the riotous protest. It might have caused practical suspension of the school for the remainder of this term, but it would have resulted in making it great school hereafter
 
 Christmas times should not be political times. Men should be happy and have good feeling for one another; and really there Is no reason why there should be any bitter ness In politics. We are on the verge of a political campaign in Birmingham Mayor, aldermen and chief of police are to be elected on the 3Oth. Mayor Drennen, of course. will be reelected and he is enc titled to it. He has had a difficult work to perform and he has been fairly success ful in it. Within two years more he should improve the city and its financial affairs considerably He must have q strong board of aldermen acting with hini, however, and the people should see to It that the best men are selected. Every man voted for should be pledged to aid in imr proving the streets of Birmingham Money which has heretofore been spent in othet directions, and at times wasted, should be put upon improving the streets and put ting them dn as good condition as the couHS ty roads. This should be done even If 1t IS necessary that street improvement bonds be issued for the purpose. Many streete need paving and many need chertins, afl of which should be done within the new year.
 Besides the million-dol1a pressed steel car works, which is to be constructed at Ensley adjoining the new steel rail mill, I am told that several other large plants are contemplated for construction in the Birmingham district within the new yeap Indeed, a prominent iron and steel manuy facturer made the prediction to me the other day that fully 8, 00,000 will be me vested in new plants in and about Birmings ham within the ear 1901. So we shall start the new year with bright prospects and there are those who predict that before the next census is taken Jefferson County will show population of half million people.

4 Word of Warninu,

The condition of the university should serve a warning to the people. of Blrm- ingham Keep politics out of the public schools. The people cannot be too watchful in this respect. They cannot be too suspic ious in this respect. They cannot strike too quickly or too severely when they see politics trying to gain foothold in the schools that their children attend
 Heretofore they have been held above politics, and they are the glory of the city. Let them be kept in that condition. When ever polities-pull-inho can name a teacher in the public schools, whenever that day comes, then the efficiency of the schools will depart, and every family will suffer an injury at the heart.
 The Age-Herald sounds the note of warn ing. Remember, too, that the remedy is in the hands of the voting citizen. Do not att tempt ito blame the responsibility upon some individual or some clique, when it rests properly legally and physically upon you. The question is up to you.

Echo of the Strike.

Dallas Tex, December 22.-The calling off of the telegraph strike on the Santa Fe system by the O. R.

At a late hour last night the committeeman at Dallas had no intimation that compromise of the fight had been reached. Santa Fe passen- ger and freight service Is still badly crip- pied and the new men have difficulty in strengthening the tangles.
