Constitutional Revision.

{ The address of the state democratic cam paign committee, signed by Chairman Smith, is an even better presentation of the issues before the people than the platform itself It sets forth the need of economy in public expenditures, the need of better public schools, and the need of lower tax rate.
 But the address is particularly valuable in it's explanation of the position of the party as to constitutional revision. At period when even Virginia has voted in fa- vor of suffrage reform by revision of the constitution, it would be strange indeed if Alabama should further ignore the great problem that confronts her. Chairman Smith brushes away in his address all mis- representations and sophistries. The legis- 1ature to be elected in August will not call a constitutional convention. It will, how ever, be pledged to submission to the people of constitutional convention propo- sition-a "yes" or mo" vote on that ques- tion. If the people call convention, elect ing at the same time delegtes to it. the action of the convention-its net result, in otner words-will also be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection. How any American can oppose such pro- gramme is incredible. It will simply be an effort to meet the popular will of the state, and if the proposed convention does not act up to that will, its work will be rejected The committee is wholly correct when it says: Tt is inconceivable how any fair minded person can object to this,' for the wIl of the people is supreme and must pre- vail, and every possible effort will be made to have it prevail
 The committee shows in conclusion that revision by multiplicity of amendments in a canvass confused with state and county nominations is inexpedient and un- wise; and it urges revision by convention held in an off year, voted upon both be- fore and after by the people when no other issue is under consideration, or at least is pressing The conclusions of the address are irresistible in their strength and sound ness; and if every democratic paper in the state would publish the address, the issues of the campaign would be made plain to all wh) are to v2te in August.

"AIiGN DO LOVE"

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
 The 5000 women at the Mothers confer- ence did well to hiss Professor Chrisman for his ridiculous assertion that men are incapable of genuine love- Of course r7icA love. Ask Laura Jean Libbey. Ask any girl of IS. Ask any mans sweetheart wife, sister, daughter or mother. Don't ask the men themselves. They may be too modest to admit it
 But taking the question seriously, has Professor Chrisman ever read the Epistle of John the Divine? Has he ever heard that noble verse; worthy to be memorized by every child that is born: Greater love hath man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend" And has Pro- lessor Chrisman forgotten the numberless cases in history and in daily life where men persons of the male seX-have laid down their lives for love of their fellows?
 Of course Professor Chrisman meant that a mans love for woman is mere passion But if men have love of country and love of their fellows, and if "the greater in cludes the less,' how can professor argue that a man can have no real love for a single individual merely because she is of the other sex.
 The pessimistic professor should now hunt him "a lodge in some vast wilderness" He can hardly dare to face any woman again.

one until the twenty-ifth century. Only seven total solar eclipses during the pres ent century, and only one of these that of November 30, 1884, afforded a path of total ity to this state. When another will occur here the Age-Herald is not advised; but it may be centuries hence, when most of us will lack curiosity fn smoked-glass events
 The moons shadow upon this town will be a triie incomplete. but this tri1le will not materially lessen the spectacle We were placed by circumstances about one hundred miles north of the totality path. but the spectacle will be so nearly com plete that only a scientist can tell it from the genuine article. As we are only toil- CTS, and not scientists at all the show will be fully as satisfactory to us as it will be to those living in the favored path, always provided we breakfast before o'clock and are provided with squares of smoked glasses

Solar EcIinse at Hand.

The fifty-mile of totality stretching from the Gulf in Louisiana to the southeast cor ner of Virginia is we'll specked with as- tronomical instruments and the astrono- mers that go with them. They are all placed, some in the charming climate of Alabama, some in Georgia, the rest trail- ing out in either direction up at each end to salt water. Some will, however, watch the spectacle at sea. Altogether it will be a closely-observed eclipse.
 Early rising will be in order tomorrow morning, for the moon will begin to be impolite to the sun about 6 o'clock, and as the act of impropriety will last in its waning moments to o'clock, it would be advisable to breakfast before obscuration is begun. This means a getting out of bed at about o'clock, unless the sky is beclouded, and even in that event an early rising would not be harmful
 It should be remembered that such celes- tial spectaces are very rare in a given To- cality. About 65 occur in a century, but a totality path in locality is almost as rare as hens teeth. In London there has not been one since HOO. and there will not be

THE ONLY pallY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Creed Revision Postponed.

[ The revision of the Westminster Confess sion of Faith among the northern Presby terians is progressing slowly, but with a measured tread that presages important changes '1n the doctrines most surely be- lieved among us, and which are substan- tially embodied in our Confession of Faith" There was not a ripple on this subject among the Southern Presbyterians who met in Atlanta this year, but at St. Louis the subject was referred to a com mittee of fifteen, who are to report to the general assembly of next year.
 Practically speaking. the general assem- bly of St. Louis ordered the preparation of a new creed for it instructed the commit tee to which the subject was referred to consult the presbyteries and act according ly. As the overtures in favor of credal changes already number thirty-seven with a tendency to increase rather than to di- which Dr. Dickey is chairman, is charged with the responsible and serious work of defining new belief for one of the great churches of the country
 The discussion over the proposition ex- tended into the second day, and in the course of it some uncomplimentary things were said of Dr. Parkhurst and Dr. Hillis, but in the end all agreed to refer the sub- dect to a committee of fifteen with instruc tions to consult the presbyteres. This in- struction is all important Only the chair named, but the other members of it will be named before the general assembly is adjourned without day, and the sum total of the work will plainly be a modification of Calvnism that will amount almost to an annihilation of it.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT
 CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

had a letter a day or two ago from Congressman Oscar Underwood. He is quite enthusiastic on the subject of rural mail delivery for Jefferson county. Un- der the plan adopted in one or two of the southern counties, mail is delivered to every section of the county before P o'clock in the day. The carriers drive through the county in buggies and usually have fast horses. They are a great con venience to rural residents, not only be- cause of mail deliveries, but because of the fact that mail carriers are permitted, at their discretion, to carry all classes of packages from city merchants, or others. which are desired by the people along their routes. In other words, they are permitted to make private contracts to bring goods from the city daily to their country mail patrons. When adopted in Jafferson coun- ty, it will be a great convenience to people who live in the country, and likewise of value to the city merchants.
 Congress is to adjourn early in June, and there seems no prospect for the resuscita- ton of the Nicaraguan canal bill. It is dead so far as this session of congress is concerned. Mark Hanna and the Pacific railroads have been strong enough to pig eon-hole it. Evidently, Hanna will get a big campaign fund for the republican par ty as the result of his work He raised fourteen million dollars four years ago, and hear from Washington that he has seven or eight million dollars already in sight for this campaign. If the democrats are wise, however, in selecting their vice presidential candidate, the present indica- tions are that they ca1 overcome even Hanna's tremendous campaign fund.
 It would seem that the cotton market had a foundation to rest upon other than the tremendous pulling influence of the firm of Price, Mccormick & Co. On Thurs day when this firm failed for $13,0000 GOO it looked as if the bottom had dropped out of the cotton market, and prices were go- ing to last falls basis. Prices were soon revived, however, under purchases from all parts of the world, and cotton is as strong today as it was several weeks ago. But with the tremendous crop that has been planted, do not see how such prices, especially for fall months contracts, can be maintained, nor do I see how the farmer can realize more than about cents on his cotton to be raised this year.
 It seems also that the price of iron has begun to fall. Manufacturers, however, are holding up prices and the best indica- tion is that iron will not go below $16 a ton in Birmingham. Even at this price there should be tremendous profit to the manufacturer. The worlds consumption is not equal>to the production, and consump- tion is growing, while at this time new furnaces are being constructed.
 The cotton crop amounts to but little to Birmingham the iron production is its life, and unless there be a tremendous slump in the iron market Birmingham will continue on basis of great and growing prosperity.

NEW PORCH FOR BRYAN's HOUSE

Lincoln Letter to St. Louis Republic.
 The Bryan house has always boasted of a porch but it was modest in dimensions. A new one covers practically the entire north front, and is about nine feet by twenty-two feet The location of the house, and the fact that on the east and on the west are houses larger in propor- tion, insures grateful shade the greater part of the day. The Bryan homestead is in the residence portion of the city, re- mote from the business center and from the stations. The city is laid out on the Philadelphia plan. The east and west streets take the letter of the alphabet the north and south numbers. In the original plan A is the first street on the south side and the last on the north, while First street marks the western border. MT Bryan lives at 1925 D street The railway stations are at Seventh and P streets and Nineteenth and O, while the business cen ter is at Twelfth and O. This will give something of an idea of the location Of the Bryan house.

jug of O-be-joyful that had not been taxed This jug was handed to me first and turned it up and let the liquor gurgle with glad gurgling. Then I passed the jug to the man on my right, and he let Ter gurgle gently. He passed it to the next man, and so on around the table until it got back to me- when l gurgled again, and once more started that jug on its travels. Mean time all of us ate and ate, and just Kept on eating It looked to me like we'd Kill our fool selves eating, but we Just got nap pier all the time"
 After supper we played cards and danced and gurgled the big jug, several times re- filled, and had most excessive joy. Just as the boss 'moonshiner' raked in beautiful jackpot at midnight, somebody said supper again, and I realized that l was positively starving. We walked outside while the eatables were being placed on the table and the big jug was being reflled with nectar. When we sat down to eat my heart leaped with a great leap of happiness, for there before my eyes were two of the largest and juciest and brownest baked possums that ever gladdened my eyes or whetted my ap- petite. Piled around them in the big dishes were heaps of yellow vans half floating in the rich gravy; and at each of our plates was big brown hot ashcake that had been baked in hickory ashes Merciful bounty. I was moved to make a speech, but was suppressed by the big jug being handed me. Instead Ol speaking l SuISlSu SiSoI gurgling, and starting the jug on its round we fell to possum and taters and ashcake like famished wolves are supposed to fall upon and devour lambs My, that was a supper! It was a supper beyond the pur- chasing power sceptered sway of the Tsar! And in all his majesty's vast do- minons there is no drink half so soulfully delicious as the mountain dew in that big jug! Lordy, how I did eat and drink And how peacefully l slept that night in a blanket in the mountain fastnesses! Next morning we were up bright and carly and I sweaI to you that I felt so good that I played leapfrog with the boys for a good hour Bless you, my son, that was a good time!'

Failure of Airikanderism.

Lord Roberts is moving in a wide and Pretoria-a path so wide that it overlaps and turns the weaker forces opposed to it. But the comparative strength of the two sides in this contention should not be per mitted to obscure the real issue, which is and long has been one that could be fought out only.
 Pretoria had long been quarrelsome and intolerant and unjust-why? It was not because her people were worse than any other people, but it was because they had become so rich they thought they, aided by the Afrikanders of the Free State, of Natal, and particularly of Cape Colony, could extend Afrikander power over the whole of South Africa The exclusion of the Outlanders from affairs in the Trans vaal meant that and nothing else. What the bumptious Boers had done in the Transvaal they proposed to do in the re- mainder of South africa. They started out to establish great Boer republic or empire, in which the Briton should have no part.
 The fight was for dominance in South Africa, and really Central Africa in volved; for if the Briton wins he openly proposes to carry British rule and British civilization from end to end of the Dark continent in it's darkest part. Would the Boer do much?
 Such an issue could only be fought out. Negotiation and peace conferences do not touch the question of mastery when it comes up as President Kruger presents 1t. MT Kruger's failure to drive out the British is due, of course, to the inferiority of the Boers in all respects-in resources, in numbers, in military skill, and perhaps in the weakness of their cause. Their in- feriority in military provision was early shown in their stoppagas to undertake seiges that were far beyond their military knowledge, instead of marching directly into Cape Colony and arousing the numer- ous Afrikanders to action in defence of the common cause. This failure sealed their fate. They frittered away precious time and strength upon Ladysmith and Kimberly and Mafeking when they should have been raiding Cape Colony and threatening Capetown itself
 The long and short of the war is this, the Boers tried to run the English out of South Africa, and the result will be that the British will run the Boers out, or com This is harsh, but war is war, and when President Kruger excluded the Outlanders from participation in Transvaal affairs he began a war whose ending he should have foreseen.
