i diers from Canada, she can get all she asks for" said a Canadian last night. ",rhere are hosts of men in Canada eager to fight for the queen and the empire, whether against Boers, French, Russians or any other people, There is a disloyal- even reasonable-element in the dominion, but there is an overwhelming preponder- ance of the people perfectly loyal to the queen and the old country. When the call went out for Canadian volunteers to fight the Boers, the present government, with Prime Minister Laurier at its head de- clared that nothing could be done until parliament assembled. Then it was that patriots acted. A wave of patriotism swept the country At once movement, headed by Lord Strathcona, was inaugurated to provide troops for South Africa, regardless of Lauriers government. Wealthy men and patriots generally took hand, and the result was the raising and eauipping of a brigade of cavalry made up of the finest men physically ever saw. The sto- ry of their proud deeds of heroism against the Beers is noble chapter in the history of the British empire. As a Canadian and one deeply interested in the cause of the empire and of civilization, am proud of my countrymen in South Africa"
 Editor Jourd White of the Edwardsville Standard-News was in Bringham yester- day. MT. White was for a5out thirty years editor of the Moulton Advertiser, and Is one of the best known and most popular newspaper men in the state. For several years he was prominent in politics but lat terly he has devoted himself to his work Some months ago he acquired the Ed wardsVille Standard-News. and went to Cleburne to reside. He has greatly im- proved that paper, and it is prospering, as all the newspaper men of the state will be glad to know.
 Major James Spence of Tuscaloosa, was in town yesterday. He reports the dspen- sary question to be very live issue in that county. Farmers in the lowlands, Major Spence says, are very much behind in their work, because of the long-con- tlnued rainy weather. Spring is more than ordinarily backward.

cartin has reported that his department for the last twelve months spent s2l.0eo. This is perhaps the best money which the city government of Birmingham has ex- pended within the last year. MT. MeCar- tin has proven himself to be an excellent officer, and has attended to his business strictly. He has made lasting imnrove- ments, and Is continuing to do splendid work. The city officials would do well to double his appropriation for the next twelve months No city money can be better expended than in this direction. The results which MT. Mccartin's Iabors have already brought about give ample evidence that he knows his business and attends to 1t.
 Two weeks more of the campaign remain It is well for candidates to remember that only one man can be elected to each office It Is likewise well for candidates to remem- Der that they must win on their merits and not on tiis demerits of their opponents. They should be honest with themselves and with one another Defeated ones must sup port their successful opponents in the gem eral election, because all are democrats. They should therefore, not place them- SeiNeS III poSitloH where they cannot, With honor to themselves, support the success full contestants. There are men contesting for office within the democratic party in the state of Alabama whom I should hate to support in the general election, but who- ever the democra tic nominees may be I shall support them. Every good democrat must bow to the will of the majority. You or I are as apt to be wrong in our estima- tion of man as is the fellow on the other side Having our choice we should urge him upon our friends and fellow demo- crats, but make your fight within party lines and abide by the decision of your party.
 I was looking over a report yesterday of the recent earnings of the Southern rail- way. The increase in the earnings of th;s system during the last three months over the earnings for the same three months one year ago, have been phenomenal, and every indication points to continued increase Indeed, the indications from the earning capacity of the Southern evidently mean that Southern preferred will be a dividend payer and go to par in the very near fu- ture

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT
 SEVERAL LOCAL MATTERS

am not an advocate of lynch law, but I do think that if the brutal murderers of Police Officer Kirkley are found a special term of the criminal court should be held within the week and both of the murderers hanged during the second week.
 Legal punishment for such iendish brutal ity cannot be too quick. Murders are be- coming too common in Birmingham. There is too much pistol toting' here The law against 1t should be enforced. Birmingham is harvest field for burglars, murderers and lawless ones Its good people are im- posed upon. They pay taxes and get very little in return. They have no protection either from the human fend or the fire hend. So far as they go the police depart ment and the fire department are excellent, but in point of numbers both are totally inadequate for city of this size. Fires cannot be handled for lack of apparatus and men. Crimes run riot because of an abbreviated police force. Burglarles are simple and easy, because but small por- ton of the city can be guarded. The ad- mnistrators of city affairs allow for a police and detective force barely sufficient to properly protect a country village. Therefore, citizens who must go to and from their homes after dark feel the neces- sity of going armed Men who get in the habit of carrying arms at night soon be- gin going armed at other times; and arms often lead to crimes previously undreamed of.
 Birmingham citizens should be protected and the law against concealed weapons strictly enforced.
 The Birmingham pound-keeper can ma terially increase his income by bit of activity on the South Highlands. By atcual count there are four hogs and six teen cows that spend several hours daily in depredations upon the lawns of that section. Unless the proper officers will en- force the city ordinance it will soon be the law into their own hands and go gum ming for this game.
 Buck Hinrichsen, chairman of the Illi nois democratic committee, and in charge of the financial affairs of the democratic national committee, was here yesterday, and tells me that every indication points to the success of the democratic ticket in this falls national election. MT. Hinrich- sen is a member of congress, and is one of the shrewdest political managers in the west. He thinks Bryan will be renomi- nated,, and that the democrats will win this fall.

Issues involved plain to the people who must eventually decide them.
 The pending Payne-Foraker lslll is called g compromise, but it is fully as revolution ary and iniquitous as the original house bill. The time and percentage limits incor- porated in 1t do not change it's nature. As a precedent it is fully as dangerous and as wicked as the original act. It is fully as unconstitutional, as the republicans well know, for they openly say that the con- stitution must be conformed to eireum- stances. In other words, it is to be con- strued to suit their present notions. One single cent of discriminating tariff levied upon Porto Rico is imperialism. One sim gle cent means colonies It is all impor- tant that the issue should be presented in such a way that the people cannot be mis- led over it next November, and in this work of preparing the case for the people the Alabama senators are playing an im- portant part. Senator Morgan should stay at his post. He is needed there, and the people of Alabama will take care of his interests at home while he is so devotedly and so ably serving them and the rest of the. country in the federal capital.

TRUSTS IN ENGLAND

From the Portland Argus.
 Under British free trade it is impossible for these associations. unless in possession of some rare and exceptional advantage, to raise prices above a reasonable level. The moment they should undertake to do so imports of goods from foreign countries would at once pour in and reduce prices tc the normal level. In the United States the tariff-protected trusts are able to ward off competition at home. This is the dis tinction between trusts in England and the United States, and it is distinction that makes a world of difference.

The Age-Herald has received ccmmuni- cation from MT. W. T. Wear, editor of the opelika Industrial News. in which he all leges that charges made in recent com- munication signed by members of the ope- lika city council. denouneing him in strong terms, are false and defamatory. The trouble alluded to arose through some charges made by Editor Wear in the col umns of the Industrial News against mem- bers of the Board of Aldermen, asserting that one or more of them were guilty of having been brHbed The council thereupon called on Mir Wear to give the names of the individuals who had dsbeen guilty of ac- cepting such bribe. This the editor refused to do, and eight members of the council over their signature then denounced him. MT. Wear replies to the publication of this and states that the charges are false and defamat tory.

From the Houston Post.
 This senatorial courtesy" by which leg ;sation is delayed has cost the government millions of money, has cloaked more in difference to the public welfare, has aided and abetted more jotoery, has dealt leni- ently with more raseaity and corruption, has pandered to more laziness and ineon- venienced more and greater national inter ests and movements than could be told of in a fat volume of thousand pages!

REFLECTIONs OF A BACHELoR

From the New York Press.
 A kiss right after quarrel tastes most like cold gravy.
 Take care of the liver, and the love will take care of itself.
 No man ever wanted to put his arms around a woman with a rainy-day skirt on.
 No woman believes her husband half ap- preciates the way she martyrs herself for his sake.
 Every woman has a black silk dress which she is saving to wear out some time when she has got thinner.
