Cheaper Building Material.

Structural steel has suffered a drop of s a ton, ostensibly to bring it in line with the prices of steel bars and plates, but really to prevent mills outside the pool from going into the manufacture of structural forms of iron and steel The steel beam pool is not bit given to sentiment or pa triotism, and when it makes a cut of $S a ton 1t acts upon information that is trust worthy and that means damage to the business it transaets.
 But whatever the cause of the cut may have been, it is plain that it will powerfully promote construction if not this year, then certainly next year. Nearly all sorts of building material are down to reasonable prices. Some may be lingering on the road, but all will soon arrive at the point of reas- enable profits and fair prices Labor may be high, but barring that, buildings both large and small can be built as cheaply now as they could have been in 1S9S and before the new year is ushered in all prices will be on or near the level of 1898.
 This means active building in 1901 with no little work this year. This year has been one of transition from abnormal prices to normal ones, and construction has awaited the result. The change has been accom- plished without much friction, and with very few commercial disasters, and all will in 1901 be glad that it had been accom- plished. Next year will assuredly be busy year in this district and if crops be good It will be a prosperous year throughout the country

value of big guns on battleships are we'll understood, and China should be compelled to accept Nanking as a capital Such demand is unusual, but circumstances rem der it imperative. And the real Chinese need not object. The ancient capital is much more central than the capital pre- ferred by the Manehus, and the Middle Kingdom should accept the proposition hard and intolerable as it may appear at first sight.
 These conditions can be secured now, together with an agreement to maintain the integrity of the country, but later on when the Germans and the Russians have the upper hand they may be out of reach
 But the Administration is playing poli- tics first last and all the time, and it will do only that which it considers best for lending inspiration and hope to a wavering and waning campaign.

northern section of our State. No better se- lection could have possibly been made for this important duty than that of Senator Pettus We confidently believe that Sena- tor Pettus will powerfully point out the duties of Democrats in this important na- tional campaign. Senator Pettus is one of those grand Democrats who believe in a compact organization. The Democracy of Alabama has grand works to accomplish In the future. This can be best done by and through Democratis organization.
 Already more than three hundred and fifty Democrats have joined the Democratic Club to be organized tomorrow night. Every Democrat should give his name to this club, and thereby give his influence and help to this grand work. The prospects of the cleo ton of Bryan and Stevenson are daily growing better. Everybody must turn out tomorrow night and give General Pettus the royal greeting he so rightly deserves.

THE NEWPORT FAST SET
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
 Thomas Nelson Page is right in his mo- ton that relatively small part of the peo- pie Of this country take any serious in- terest in the manners and behavior of the swagger set at Newport. A large proportion of sober-minded citizens, true gentlemen and ladies, consider the Newport high-fly- CTS little better than an assortment of de- generates, or colony of dubious theatrical folk Things are coming to such a pass that good men and women will soon be ashamed to have it chronicled in the newspapers that they are passing the season in Newport, or were present at entertainments in certain grand houses. Nevertheless, there are enough fiunkies and snobs in the land to make the influence of the set of fast and defiant millionaires demoralizing in circles which can hope to approach the giddy ex- clusives only by initiating their vices, and so the contagion spreads.

PROTECTED BY INSURANCE

From the London Mail.
 The late Duke of Ednburgh's life was in, sured for f3O0,O0O, and that huge sum will have to come out of the coffers of the in surance societies. Scarcely a single Eng fish insurance company was without some interest in Prince Alfreds life but the crit ical state of His Royal Highness' health during the past four years had given the companies ample warning that the day of reckoning was approaching. They will not, in consequence, be heavily hit by the Dukes sudden death, even though the sum is one of considerable magnitude for most of the firms had secured themselves with guarantee societies.
 Royalties have ever been extensive in surers. Many of them while they enjoy practically unlimited incomes during their lives are unable to bequeath anything except to their eldest sons Insurance gives them the opportunity of making some provision for their younger sons and daughters.
 King Humbert of Italy was no exception to this rule among the royal houses, and his tragic death will make a heavy call upon some of the insurance societies, who will pay out considerable sums to Queen Margherita. London underwriters are ap- preciably affected by his death.
 Our own sovereign has been a small gold mine to the insurance companies owing to Her Majesty's long life. Not only did the Queen insure her own life, but hundreds of leases in the city expire with the Queen and the holders, in consequence, have all insured Her Majestys life. The Prince of Wales is similarity insured for large sums. but there are not many large poliees on Kaiser Wilhelm

THE JAP AS A FIG HTING MAN
From the Washington Star.

from the WaSn1ngton star.
 Recent events in China have once more served to call attention to the skill and prowess of the Japanese soldier. Prior to the war between China and Japan many prophets who did pot appreciate the peo- pie of that wonderful Island Empire indi- yidually and en masse, believed that the Japanese would be simply overwhelmed by vast hordes from the densely populated Flowery Kingdom. The outcome of that brief but remarkable war served to give the civilized world a better idea of the Jap as a fighting man. Military experts were deeply impressed at the time with the dis cipline and bravery of the men and the skill and ability of their leaders. They realized that the Japanese army would have to be taken into serious consideration in the future. Events have justified their opinion. The latest news from China shows that the Japanese have once more covered themselves with glory. Dispatches from London are to the effect that military men are more than ever impressed with the effi- ciency and gallantry of the Japanese troops during the progress toward Pekin. It is said that for steadiness and dash the Jap- anese regiments have shown themselves the equal of the best in the European armies. At the battle of Pei-Tsang their work is described as magnificent Their only fault seems to be that they are a bit too impetuous and prone to take des- perate chances. They have been in the forefront in every important engagement and they have invariably shown themselves worthy of the confidence which has been n1 in
 full strides in the last two decades but in no phase of her national character is her development more noticeable at the present moment than in those qualities which CO., operated to place her in the front rank as a military power.

REPEAL OF BACK TAN LAW

From the Selma Times
 The repeal of the back-tax commission is being advocated by several of the State papers, and there is no doubt that an at tempt will be made in that direction by the next General Assesmbly. The in quistorial feature of the law, the going be- hind the returns of the regular assessor, is something repugnant to the feelings of the citizens of the State, but the repug- nance seems to be more intense among those tax payers who pay taxes seemingly small in proportion to the amount of wealth they reputed to be possessed of. The assessment of tax valuations un- der the revenue laws by the regular as sessor have been, no doubt faithfully made under the powers granted them, and if the proper kind of a law without any frills that would cause an adverse decision of the Supreme Court was enacted it would undoubtedly be sufficient

JEFFERSON M. FALKNER

From the Union Springs Herald.
 The first that anybody knows, the Ala bama newspapers going to make Cap tain Jefferson NJ. Falkner Governor.-Mont- gomery Journal. In the event they do 'the Alabama papers, will have cause to be proud of their work-Sylacauga Enter prise. For it can then be truthfully said that the State never had a better or broad CT minded man to fill the executive chair Greenville Advocate. Not only the news papers of the State like and honor Colonel Falkner, but everybody else who knows him does. Last Wednesday the editor of the Herald was sitting at a table at Flem- ing's, in Montgomery in company with a well known Montgomery County gentle man, and the latter leaned over to us and said. Do you know that gentleman at tine next table?' In response to our affir- native reply he remarked, Well, I was going to say, if you did not you failed to know Alabama's s finest citizen" That is about the way every one who is asquaint- ed with Colonel Falkner speaks of him.

Export Iron Staunant.

Iron is accommodating rapidly in the fur mace yards of this district. A recent state ment shows that there are 100000 tons in the yards of the furnaces of this district, awaiting, not orders, but opportunities for shipment at living rates. This iron could be marketed in foreign countries at a prof 1t, and the cost of transportation to the seaboard has become the paramount ques- tion
 The railroad rates upon export iron were, In 1898. as low as any man could reason ably ask for but they have since been raised, until they are now practically hibitory. If share of the heavy stocks in the furnace yards of -this district could be moved to the sea and sold to exporters great relief would be brought to this dis trict and it's furnaces could be kept in ope- ration.
 The interests of the railroads and of the producers must be one, for whatever keeps the furances in blast will keep the rail- roads supplied with tonnage. It may be difficult to find the line of adjustment, but it is plain that in outright accumulation neither side, nor the rest of the district has anything to gain.
 Let the two interests get together as un- selfishly as they did in the years of de- precision, and all will yet be well. Until the Warrior river is opened the railroa ds should be reasonable, or else this district will see hard times. Freight rates to the sea must be brought down to the bottom if accumulated stocks are to be moved and the furnaces kept in operation.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Almost Ready for a Sacrifice

Architect Searles, who married Millionaire Mark Hopkins widow, and came at once into close connection with all the Hunting ton Pacific interests-including of course, the two newspaper properties in New York, which were being carried along with the hope of some day making them self-sustain- ing, if not profitabe-sat one day back in 1896 In one of the main offices constituting the Southern Pacific suite at No. 35 Wall street, relates the New York Commercial. It was a Saturday morning, and pay day up in Park Row. The difference between receipts and expenditures that week in the Park Row establishment had been some what greater than usual. thus necessitating the drawing of a bigger check with which to fill the gap. The cashier had just re- ceived it from the hand of Mir Huntington himself, when MT. Searles arose, looked over the cashiers shoulder to see the amount of it. and then remarked half jok- ingly:
 "As you go back to the office, MT. R., l think you might buy a red flag cheap somewhere in Nassau or Fulton street. an auctioneer's flag. l mean Hang it out up in Park Row. and offer that morning newspaper to the highest bidder. What do you think?''
 Before the cashier had time to answer MT. Huntington raised his hand deprecat- ingly and said rather seriously, but still good-naturedly:
 Not today! Some day-perhaps.''
 Less than a year from that date chance combination of circumstances gave to the Morning Advertiser some value in the eyes of William R. Hearst, and with out any red flag in the deal he began to bid against himself for the papers name good will and franchises When he got through, Thomas E. Stillman, the partner of General Hubbard, had the young Cali fornians check for an amount that quired in the writing six figures to the left of the decimal pont-and the first one by common report, was a 2.
 It had paid the Huntington people to hold on bt-and even Searles wasn't sorry.

Jefferson County as a District.

In 1890 Jefferson County had SS,501 popula- tion today it has 140,OO0. The increase has been 60 per cent; and yet at least six years of the decade were years of loss, stoppage of furnaces, mines and factories, and gen. eral depression. In spite of all these ob- stacles the county grew as no other county in the cotton States did The depression of 1S99-9S was one of great severity and con- tinuance, and the fact that Jefferson Coun- ty grew populous in spite of it, is the best testimony to future growth
 No intelligent person doubts the equal growth in the decade of 19OO-1910, the de- cade now opening. Jefferson County starts our>with 14O 900 people, and a growth of 60 per cent would give it 224 ,OOO population at the end of the decade and that is just about what it will have. If the county is made a Congressional district, it will start out with a population larger by 10000 than the popula ton in 1890 of MT. Burnetts dis trict and in 1910 it will have more popula- ton than any other district in the State.
 The ratio of apportionment will probably be about 100000, instead of 17S,00o, as 1t is at present The legislature has right to take into consideration the prospects Of growth in a given locality as compared with the rest of the State, and it has right 10 confer a great and unequalled-in the cot ton State-distinction on Birmingham ana Jeeffrson County No other county in the cotton States, Orleans parish alone except ed has population or outlook enough 'o justify such an honor, but Jefferson County has, and the Age-Herald trusts the leglsia- ton will grant it when it reappordons the State next February.

Peace Should be Negotiated.

China wants peace, and the Administra tion wants glory for use in the pending campaign. The one is playing politics and the other is suing for peace. Under its programme the Administration can pursue Chinamen into Thibet if this country will stand the expense, and it now pretends that it cannot treat with Lii Hung Chang because it does not know whether he rep resents the Government it has assisted in driving out of Pekin. As plain matter of fact the Administration knows that Ii Hung Chang is authorized to negotiate a treaty of peace, but it is seeking glory for campaign use, and it wants no peace while it can ride roughshod over a. helpless enemy.
 What the Administration should do is to treat for peace at once, and especially now when all in danger at Pel1in have been rescued. Peace is important before the al- lies fall out, and European jealousies and greed assert themselves. Peace is now pos sible on excellent terms, and it may not
 
 Waldersee and his troops are on the spot.
 Peace now should include ample indemni- ties, an open door in every part of China, including Manchuria, and a removal of the capital to Ranking, where it was estab- lished many centuries ago. It is not polite to ask an ancient and populous Empire to change the location of its capital, but in the case of China this seems to be neces- sary. China is altogether too peculiar and emotional. She should therefore be asked to swap Pekin, her Northern capital, for Ranking, her Southern capital. Ambassa- dors will never be safe in Pekin, whereas in Ranking they would always be secure The one is as far from the sea as the other, about 100 miles in each case, but Ranking is a town of but 10000 people, and it is on the great Yang Kiang river which is navigable to the largest ships up to and beyond Ranking.
