Taxed with this speech after the hell of strife had left us hell of ruin Judge Rice parried the thrust by saying the rascals wouldn't fight us that way" Certain 1t is. the Filipinos won't fight our way; and Colonel A1tmans friend, the army surgeon, has a gloomy view of the outlook. Colonel Altman has much respect for the opinion of the surgeon an Alabamian whom he was instrumental in having appointed to the army medical service
 
 Capitol Park, so called because the Ely ton Land company set aside the spacious grounds as a site for the capitol Of Ala bama, when Birmingham was an ugly little village, is very attractive just now, with the trees green, the grass high-grown, and the flowers aboom The trees, which for so many years appeared to be stunted, are now of goodly height; and the place is not too daintily kept, but is left to bear some of the aspects of natures own charm. The other parks are likewise beautiful in the garb of the springtime.

Race Discussion at Montgomery

The human mind is so prone to speeula- tive views; it is so much easier to con sider a thing in the air than on the stub born matter-of-fact earth, that it is no wonder the discussions at Montgomery tend towards the impracticable and the theo- retical. Mayor Alfred Moore Waddell would repeal the Fifteenth amendment. This is a very good proposition theoreti- cally and mechanically, but as an every day matter everybody knows it is wholly out of the question. Even if repeal proposition could be wormed through con gress. it would be easier to fly through the air than to gain the ratification of three fourths of the states There are forty five states, and the consent of thirty-four would be necessary. It goes without say such number of state consents be ob- tained
 The plan of John Temple Graves Is equally impractcable. He proposes to set tie the race trouble by forcing all the negroes into a single state. He does not name the location of the proposed state, nor does he furnish any details of the grand deportation movement. He is par ticularly careful in avoidance of the con- dtion such a plan would leave the de- pleted states in. He does not say who is to mine the coal and ore, plant and cultl- vate and pick the cotton, and serve in the household when the negro has gone to es- tablish negro paradise in a negro state, Mir Graves plan is but dream
 The truth is, the negro is here, and he is here to stay and the Montgomery dream CTS should recognize that fact, and plan also here, and it is also here to stay. This fact, too, should be recognized With the negroes and the Fifteenth amendment both in sight and at hand what can be done? This is the size and shape and pro- portion of the problem and there is noth- ing of good to be gai ed by pushing into corner the real situation. What can be done under such circumstances to render life reasonably safe and endurable? What can be done towards maintaining under such circumstances prosperity and general happiness?
 The next conference should get down to business, and put theory spurning aside. We have long had too much of the latter | and too little of the former.

WOODWARD SAWS WOOD

Atlanta Letter in the Macon Telegraph
 Mayor Woodward was in his office nearly all of today, going out only for dinner or to attend to some business. He had many callers, their missions being mainly on busi- ness. Some of his friends called to see him in connection with the action of the council on yesterday in passing resolution re- questing his resignation. To these friends the mayor talked freely, but to representa- lives of the press he had nothing to say.

INSPIRED AT HOME

From the Chicago Post.
 'What furnishes your inspiration?" they asked of the author.
 My wife, was the reply
 "How lovelyi" they cried. How perfect ly idealistic!"
 "Yes," he went on, Eff the muse ever halts and I feel like loafng on my job her demand for a new gown or some additional money for household expenses stirs me to renewed effort and puts Pegasus in a gall lop."

New Explosive Shell.

The new shell that Senator Tilllnan made as much fuss over as a setting hen ordinarily makes is known as the John son shell. It consists of a small cap plac- ed at the end of the customary projectile, and directly under this cap is a powder, the nature of which is carefully guarded. When a projectile equipped with one of these caps comes in contact with armor plate the substance spreads, the effect be- ing to keep the projectile true to it's course. At a recent test at the Indian Head proving ground six-inch shell fitted with one of these caps pierced a nine-inch Krupp armor plate. The shell passed through it and was uninjured A nine-inch Krupp armor plate has the resistance power of a twelve-inch Harveyized plate. Shells not equipped with the cap were smashed to pieces when fired at Krupp plate nine inches thick.
 If these reported claims of the new cap are fully sustained the race between plate and projectile, between defense and attack, inclines once more to the offensive side. Armor for while had the best of it, but if recent reports from Washington are sustained the Johnson shell is an over- match for any armor plate that a ship can carry.
 The inventor is an officer of the navy and the present secrecy concerning the new shell cannot of course be long main tained. It splits any known armor plate and congress may well hesitate before 1t

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Most men commit marriage almost as thoughtlessly as they would suicide.
 Every woman that is old enough to get married is old enough not to.
 The most important thing to a woman is her husband; the most important thing to a man is his dinner.
 A widow who doesn't want to get mar ried again is most as unnatural as man who wants to get married at all.
 Every man that weighs more than 200 ought to be made to wear corsets as a horrible example.

James Russell Lowell. gentleness that grows of steady faith; A joy that sheds its sunshine every-
 where;
 A humble strength and readiness to bear Those burdens which strict duty ever
 layeth Upon our souls-which unto sorrow saith, Here is no soil for thee to strike thy roots. Here only grow those sweet and precious
 fruits Which ripen for the soul that well
 obeyeth;
 A patience which the world can neither
 give Nor take away; a courage strong and
 high,
 That dares in simple usefulness to live, And without one sad look behind to die When the day comes-these tell me that
 our love Is building for itself home above.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
A Novelty in Politics


 Representative Marsh of Illinois was other day. As he stepped into the corri- dor he was approached by an elderly gen tleman, his clothes the worse for wear, and having the appearance of "constitu- ent'' in hard luck. But the congressman cordially shook the hand extended to him, says a Washington correspondent of the Detroit Journal few minutes conversa tion took place, when the congressman turned to a friend and exclaimed:'
 Here is man who served under me in the war. I haven't seen him since the war closed"
 Pardon me, but you have" exclaimed the visitor.
 ''When?" questioned MT Marsh.
 "About four years ago. I came up here and borrowed s5 from you. I have come back to pay that, with interest"
 As he spoke the visitor pulled out a much worn bag, selected a $10 gold piece and offered it to the congressman. The latter looked surprised, but made no at tempt to take the money. Then he stared at his visitor in astonishment, as the man persisted in paying the debt. It was a novelty to find a man so anxious to return borrowed money to a congressman. Finally the Illinois representative recov- cred his speech and said:
 "No, my man. Keep the money. I don't need it.
 The old gentleman looked hurt, but as the congressman retreated after shaking hands he walked away.

It is told of Colonel Hare, who is now the commander of the Thirty-third regiment, in the Philippines, but who formerly led the Seventh cavalry, that when he first ar- rived at Manila he was asked by General Otis how many sharpshooters he had in his command, relates a correspondent in the New York Journal.

Samples of EVarts' Wit

To lady who expressed surprise that one of such slender frame and fragile physique could endure so many feasts with their varying viands and different wines William M. Evarts replied that it was not so much the different wines that gave him trouble as the indifferent ones, relates J. J. Ingalls, in the Saturday Evening Post.
 President Hayes was total abstainer His state dinners, otherwise very elegant and costly, were served without wines The only concession to conviviality was the Roman punch, favored with Jamaica rum. Evarts was accustomed to allude to this course as "the life-savfng station!"
 Rising to address informally the guests at a Thanksgiving dinner he began: You have been giving your attention to a tur key stuffed with sage. You are now about to consider a sage stuffed with turkey"

Preserved the Markers

 troubles in China, says the Chicago Rec ord. The chief engineer of the railway that is being built through Shan-Tung province by the Germans complained to a pulled up and carried off the stakes that his surveyors had driven into the ground to guide the construction gangs in grading the right of way, so that he had been con- pelled to do the work over three or four times. The taotai promised that the mis- chief should stop, and said that he would give the matter his personal attention. The surveyors went over the line again and marked it out carefully with wooden pegs. When they came back a few weeks later they were disgusted to find that every one of the markers for miles had disappeared. The chief engineer in the heat of his wrath rushed to the taotai to make complaint and the latter, with smile that was child-like and bland, at tempted to soothe him, saying:
 sThe stakes are all right, every one of them; had my men go out and take them all up, and keep them safely until you returned, and I have got them tied up in bundles for you.'
 The letter which brings this interesting anecdote all the way from Shan-Tung re- lates that the engineer grabbed the man. darn by the throat and nearly shook his head off, although the latter had done what he supposed to be great favor with the best of intentions.

The insurrection in the Philippines, or
 "the state of war" between the American
 government and the insurgents. is not near
 ly ended, is the assurance given in a letter to Colonel John J. Altman of Birmingham,
 written by an army surgeon in Luzon
 There are no large bodies of insurgents,
 but innumerable small bands infest and
 largely overrun Luzon in a sort of guerril-
 la warfare We have nearly 10000 men
 there, quite enough to deal successfully with few hundred thousand insurgents if they would come together and give our army battle but they wont fight that way
 as the army surgeon points out and laments. The facts suggests the story of the late Judge Rice of Montgomery respect ing the war between the states. Judge Rice was one of the numerous 'fire-eatersi' who provoked the great strife. He declared that we could whip 'em with popguns."
