CThe killing of Col. Sanford by VIM.
Goebel occurredat covington, KY over
four years ago, and was the result OF
a bitter quarrel Of personal character.
One day they met on the street, and
Sanford was shot dead According TO
the evidence Of Goebel's trial Sanford
had been the first to draw his pistol.
and the slayer was acquitted on the
ground OF self-defense. The friends OF
Colonel Sanford however, have always
held that the provocatlou came from
Goebel, and that the blood-gulltiness
is on Goebel's head.-Ed)

Hopkins kpportionment Bill.

It does not follow because the House committee on census has reported the Hop kins reapportionment bill, which aims to keep the House at membership of 357, that the bill will be passed Eight states would lose under such a bill one member each, namely, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky Maine Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Vlr- ginia. These eight States have about one hundred members in the House, or about one-quarter of the entire number, and 1t will not be strange indeed if they are able to prevent rduction in tine representation of their States.
 Alabama gains rather than loses from a high basis of representation for in a House O. 357 members she would still have q delegation of nine members. She would Lave no more in a House approaching 400 In larger House she would have an un- represented fraction, whereas in a House of S57 members she would have represent cd fraction. The Hopkins basis for mem- Der is 20S,S6 of population, and nine mem bers would call for 1,S79,S12, and Alabama has 1,S2S,6SO. The Hopkins bill therefore fits the Alabama situation elegantly
 Sectionally speaking, the South would gain a member. Three members would be lost in Kentucky, South Carolina and Vir- ginia and four would be gained in Louisi- ana, West Virginia ~and Texas. Texas would gain two members. If West Virginia be counted middle or northern state. the South would lose three members and gain three. As to parties, no material changes would occur. It is, in fact, very far and reasonable bill.
 The provision as to contiguous and com ract territory in each district is too in- definite to be efficient. There is no way 10 compel state, and Congress would not go t. the length of depriving state of repre- sentation. Gerrymandering is an abuse of the worst sort but the provision in the Hopkins bill will not abolish it. It is in herent in our system. It belongs to rotten politics.

of Dr. Hirsehs partly from gratitude. partly from impulses of justice and humanity, and it is now reported that an ukase will soon be issued placing the Hebrews of Russia on a civic and political level with other sub jects of the vast Empire.
 In the long story of Jewish prosecutions many acts of relief and heroism appear, but searsely one presents more unselhshness, more devotion. than are seen in the story that comes fresh and new, but let us hope very true, from the palace at Layidia. The Czarina is the modern Queen Esther, as the loyal and skillful physician is the modern Mordecai. The Car is the modern ruler whose kingdom is as broad as that of the Medes and Persians, which extended from India even unto Ethiopia Thus does history repeat itself and never has a people needed more repetition of royal favor and justice than do the Hebrews of Russia today.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
University Affairs.

It is now said to be possible to reorganize the State University at Tuscaloosa on lines that will admit of enduring prosperity. tees are intelligent men who love alma mater much better than they do party, and they will no doubt think long and well be- fore they proceed to name new head for the university, which may involve more or less reconstruction throughout.
 They will make no mistake if they will knows politics or politicians. nor desires to know them. The complete divorce of the university from politics is the thing of all others to be desired. It must be taken out of politics if 1t is to become what the chief college of the State should become.
 In the more progressive states such col leges are not considered desirable, rich as they may be. Massachusetts has no State college, neither has New York, nor Penn sylvania, nor Ohio nor Illinois, nor any other of the more populous and wealthy Slhtes beyOnu 0OuDI tnlS Is cnlefy que to the difficulty of keeping politics out of a state school, and in part to the fact that it is not fair to tax all for an institution that only few can attend. The two col leges for example, in Birmingham must 1iump along without state aid, although their patrons are taxed to support the col lese at Tuscaloosa. But no one is com plainng as to that, for the State has been in the past benefited by the university. All that is desired is that the money given shall not be wasted through political favoritism or manipulation.
 There will be no grumbling anywhere over appropriations for the university if it can be put on a high plane, which means of course divorce from politics altogether.
 The students have given the trustees an opportunity to do noble work in behalf of tfie university, and the State looks to the trustees to act up to their opportunity.

Russian Justice and Favor.

Mordecai served his people fearlessly and faithfully, and the last verse of Esther reads, For Mordecai the Jew was next unto King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed" Ha- man who wronged the Jews was hanged, and Mordecai who served them faithfully was rewarded.

END OF A SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE

From the New York Herald
 The six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden closes today. Every one whose sporting instincts have not degen- erated into love of brutal exhibitions is heartily glad that this shameful spectacle is ending It is a pity that it could not have been prevented by the police, for it has been of no benefit to any one but the packers of the contestants, who have profit ed at the box office. They have kept their men in agony on the track, exhibiting their misery at so much a head to those who wanted to see race in which the riders should pedal on until they dropped on the track half dead.
 Team after team have been forced to stop, half crazed by the physical strain to which they were subjected. The remaining contestants were being dosed and artificial ly stimulated last night that they might last until tonights gate receipts were on hand.
 Out on such exhibitions in the name of sport!

coNFUcIANIsM - cHRIsTIANITY-

From the American Hebrew.
 Confucianism is a prepared code of eth- ics, pure and simple. It raises no stand ard of ideal conduct; it offers rules of con- duct which are good for ordinary men. But both Judaism and hristianity-though Christianity's professors have dwelt more upon other things-are ideal religions in the sense of holding up a better state of af- fairs Both admit the weaknesses of man, but they insist on effort to exceed what is with the better. The stagnation of China, which has made it stationary since Con- fucius, 4O0O years ago, may be traced to this extreme practicability of it's code of life.

New EnqIand and Virginia.

An opinion has long prevailed to the ef- feet that the people of the tight little isle were not homogeneous in the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries, or fully 800 years after the conquest, and that one sort came to Virginia and another sort to New Eng land. William the Conquerer died before the year HOO, and what little Norman blood he brought over was well dissem- mated and scattered and assimilated long before the middle of the seventeenth cen- tury when English immigration had fairly begun. A citizen interested in the question wrote to John Fiske, the well known his- torian, inquiring if there was any differ ence in the pioneer settlers of New Eng swer from MT. Fiske:
 "No. There was no difference between the English pioneers of New England and those of Virginia. As to the phrases, An g1o-Saxon and Anglo-Norman, the former serves roughly for the Teutonic part of the population of England before the eleventh century The latter Is a very sloVenly expression for the English after the con quest say 9S per cent English, per cent 1SOrnan Ine conquest dHeCleu INhBiahu profoundly in government, scarcely at all in blood

ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS.
Some of Them Will Be Allowed to
 Come Home.

London, December 1S.-The government publicly requests employers who have kept open situations for yeomanry, colonials and volunteers to continue their patriotic efforts to minimize the sacrifices of these men in the service of the country.
 The war office has issued the Queens thanks to the yeomanry, colonials and vol unteers, expressing her reliance that those abroad will continue to aid the regulars. The foregoing is designed to quiet those in the field who are waiting to go home. Nu- merous volunteer officers resignations are gazetted today, lawyers physicians and business men, who have urgently repre- scented that their affairs are going to ruin
 The war office, on account of these rep resentations, has let them off.
