possible dollar. not for the treasury. but for themselves.
 The bill before the house Is a bill to es- taolish a territorial government for Ha- waii The customary territorial govern ment is provided for. and a discriminating tarif is not introduced Hawaii is in the bill considered part of the United States.
 But in eecting delegate to congress and territorial legislature a very peculiar sort of suffrage is provided for, based largely on property. Under the monarchy there were 14217 registered voters. but un- der United States rule there were last year but 2.693 registered voters. The bill before the house has been drawn on lines almost as exclusive and aristocratic as these fig ures indicate The Portpgese are. however, to be given tine right of suffrage; leaving the Chinese and Japanese out in the cold.
 Outside of the suffrage problem is the contract labor problem, with which the new bill deals. The islands are full of con- tract labor, including some from Portugal. All this is illegal if Hawaii is a part of the United States, for our laws forbid the importation of such labor. The house cer- tainly has before it two difficult problems in the Hawaiian bill. In the senate there is not a serious problem except the one that the tariff beneficfarie5 have precipi- tated. In order to maintain their exorbi- tant profits they cooly propose to declare a- n United States, and If the republican party | dare go to the country that issue the | plan will be carried out.

w,,Fs OF TUEKENTUrKrAN

From the Richmond (Va) Times.
 Man born in the wilds of Kentucky is of a feud days and many troubles.
 He fisheth, fddleth, fusseth and fghtett all the days of his life.
 He shunneth water as a mad dog, and drinketh much whiskey.
 When he desireth to raise Cain he plant eth a neighbor, and To! he reapeth twenty fold.
 He riseth even from his cradle to seek the scalp of his grandsare's enemy, and bringeth home in his carcass the ammuni- tion of his neighbours wife's cousins uncle's father-in-law who avengeth the deed. Yea, verify, his life is uncertain, and he knows not the hour when he may be jerked thence. He goeth forth on a journey "half shot and cometh back on a shutter shot.
 He riseth in the nigth to iet <he catl out, and it takenth nine doctors three days to pick the buckshot from his person.
 He goeth forth in joy and gladness and cometh back in scraps and fragments.
 He calleth his fellow-man a liar, and get teth himself filled with scrap iron, even to the fourth generation.
 He emptieth a demijohn into himself and a shotgun into his enemy and his enemy's son lieth in wait on election day, and. To! the coroner ploweth up a 40-acre field to bury the remains of that man.

USING ZEBRAs LIKE HORSES

From the New York Herald.
 They teach at school that the zebra can- not be broken to harness. But the school books are wrong. When Cecil Rhodes was in Berlin he told one of his German friends about the great four-in-hand he drove in the Transvaal, and that four-in-hand was four zebras. Aside from Cecil Rhodes there are others in South Africa who enjoy rid ing behind swift tandem of those graceful and variegated animals South Africa is not the only part of the world in which the zebra has been broken to harness. On the steppes of Southern Russia, along the river Dneiper, many zebras are raised and used for drawing carriages. Baron Walter Rothschild, of London, has a zebra four in-hand, and is quite an authority on the care and training of these little animals He says the wild zebras may be broken to harness just as we'll as those born and rais- ed in captivity, that most of those born in captivity lie down when the attempt is made to break them to harness, while those captured when grown are soon tanned and are most tractable draught animals.

oNE-LEGGED MEMS SHOES

From the New York Sun.
 There are in New York shoe stores at which a one-legged man can buy a single shoe; a pair being divided to give him whichever shoe he wants. One-legged cus- toners are not common by amy means, but still In the big stores where their wants are supplied, they are not so rare as to excite comment when they do come. and a single shoe is sold without hesita ton or question. The price charged Is a Ittle more than half the price of a. pair. The remaining shoe is sent back to the factory and there mated up again. There is no chance or guesswork about this. The new shoe is made, tf mot on the identical last upon which the original shoe was made, then upon one absolutely like 1t, and from precisely similar materials; it matches the old shoe perfectly; and the restored pair goes back into stock as we'll mated and matched as the original pair Sometimes a pair of shoes of different sizes are sold to a man whose feet are of different sizes, two pairs of shoes being broken for this purpose, the remaining two odd shoes be- ing matched up.

AN INTEREsTINti siOKY

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 According to MT. Tricks statement in the papers filed In his suit against AnGirow Car negle, the profits of the Carnegie Steel com pany this year will be about $42,OO0,e0O Mr Carnegie's share being about $24, 900.
 This Is a startling revelation of the enoT- nous valre of monopoly. Without monopoly the profits of this business would be modest ly reasonable The foundation of MT. Car neg9es "cinlch'' Is in the tariff laws, which he procured on the plea that he couldn't possibly do business without them. Hav- ing acquired by tl1is means a hold upon the market which could not be broken, he be- gan to consolidate kindred businesses with his own, reducing competition to the mimi mum and in some respects destroying it al- together The result is a huge unearned in- come, which is nothing else than a levy upon the industry of the country.
 Mr. Frtck has, without intending it, done a public service in thus giving the secrets of the firm. The country will know howmo- nopoIlsts make money. If the people do not adt upon the information it will be because they are not alive to the danger threatening free institutions.

Educational Endowment Assailed.

Back Tax Commissioner Wetmore has begun, wittingly or unwittingly, cam paign against the University of Alaibama. He is an appointee of the state administra- ton, a close friend and supporter of the governor of the state, whose various court journals have predicted at various times that retaliatory measures would be Sadopt- ed Treasurer Fitts and Geologist Smith, neither of whom would know piece of politics if they met it in the middle Of the road, inaugurated an effort to save from sale the university's coal lands, believing a system of royalty would prove the better policy. This effort of these two men has been endorsed almost unanimously by the trustees of the university, and 1t is hoped that in the end the lands in question will be restored by the courts to the university. There is apparently nothing in this move ment that should call for revenge on the part of the state administration. No one questions the sincerity and downright hon. esty of Treasurer Fdtts or Professor Smith, or of the trustees of the university, and their action in the premises does not call for, or in any manner justify. efforts to wreck the university.
 Commissioner Wetmore has, too, over looked precedents. He assesses the coal lands of the university in Jefferson county at $12.50 an acre, doubtless assuming that the administration sale of Walker county lands at that price established standard of value. But precedents are sadly con- fused. The administrators own lands were sold at si9.5O an acre, although they were returned for taxation purposes at about seven dollars an acre.
 In all equity and fairness the last named valuation should have been accepted by Commissioner Wetmore, if he must have precedent as his valuation of the Jefferson county lands. The valuation put upon the lands by Commissioner Wetmore is in fact a reflection upon the valuations returned by the American Coal company, of which the administration is a part Perhaps the past tense should be used, for the Ameri
 can Coal company has been merged body. boots and brooches, in another corporation and its glorious career Is ended. Whatever way we look at it, the university is entitled to as good treatment at the hands of the state as the American company received, and this it will not get if Back Tax Com missioner Wetmore and his adviser and supporter can have their way. The war upon the university has been begun, and 1t will doubtless go on until the people ex- August

of just such a type as you can find almost any place in the west Miss Gould dound to be a young woman in no sense weighed down with the importance of the things which she has taken upon herself She bears herself with the manner of one who is simply doing that which is the natural thing for her to do. She is a big minded. big-hearted, well-informed well-read Amer ican girl, who has the faculty of thinking the right thing and the disposition to do it. This is type which this country pro- duces in abundance, and in which we take great pride. Why if Miss Gould came to the little town of 5000 in which l live, she is just the kind of girl who would take part in a church fair or strawberry festival with
 the same interest that our own young wom- en would. She is of the wholesome sort that it does anyone good to meet. She in- tereste1s me every ,Fnoment of the time l spent with her"

Early-Bird Counties Have Spoken.

The dozen counties that deliberately vio- later party laws without reason or excuse have acted, and have relapsed into their accustomed auietude. They have decided nothing, accomplished nothing, not even party disorganization. The entire scheme was one of mischief makers and personal axe-grinding, and the state is heartily glad to be rid of it.
 The issues before the people will come before the fifty-odd counties that remained true to the party, and will be decided on April IA the state executive committee had planed they should be. The entire early-bird campaign has been failure so far as any forestaling of the popular ver- dict is concerned
 It will, however, be the duty of the state convention to take steps that will prevent any such infractions of party discipline in the future. An honorable man who can not conscientiously obey regularly selected in this campaign there are men who have been organized for the purpose of defying the party, and all its authorized officers. If, this goes on without action on the part of the faithful members of the historic party of the state, Reorganization will sure ly follow. Some plain, explicit and abso- lute definition of party authority should be adopted. The authority of the state execu-
 
 be broadly presented so that he who runs away from rules may read his fate. Party efficiency demands better discipline than the state presents at present Every one of the eariy-bird counties is guilty of a grave of- fense against the unity and perpetuity of the party, and an expression of opinion on the part of the convention would be alike justified and salutary. Early-birdism should be made odious.

TINE ONLY DAILY nEwspApEa IN ALABAMA
Armor Plate and the Split.

The capital of. the Carnegie Steel com pany is $25,OOO,0OO, of which only $2o0OOOOo was paid in. Ten per cent upon the full amount would be s25O0.0OO a year; but in- instead of the 10 per cent the earnings have been something marvellous, as MT. Tricks attorney thus explains:
 .'The business from 1892 to 1900 was enor- mously profitable, growing by leaps and jumps from year to year, until, in 1899, the firm actually made on low-priced con- tracts an net profits, after paying expenses of all kinds. $21. OOO In November. 1899, Carnegie estimated the net profits for 1900 at $40 600 900, and Prick then estimated them at SAP, ,000.
 "Carnegde valued the entire property at over S250 900, ,0000 and avowed his ability in ordinarily prosperous times to sell the prop erty on the London market for G10O0 000, or $500, ,000,OOO
 Tn May, 1899, Carnegie actually received fin cash, and still keeps. $l170000 given him as a mere bonus for his ninetl days option ito sell his 5S1S per cent interest in this steel company for $157, ,950, ,000 Tricks per cent, on that Oasis, would be worth $16,23S, ,0OO."
 And the worst of it Is the federal govern ment-that is to say, the people plain and otherwdse-are partners or at least access sories of this scheme of spoMation, for it was built up and made possible and to-day is based on tariff duties averaging 45 per cent ad valorem on all manufactures of Gron and steel. The entire scheme was made pos sbble by the republican party, for the lat ter rendered competition impossible, recelv- ing in return heavy campaign subscriptions
 The concern that republican tariff legis- laItion built up, gdvng 1t a night to tax the people up to the tariff line of 45 per cent ad valorem now has the temerity to demand s545 ton from the government for armor plate, threatening a 'ahold-up' if Dts terms are not compiled with. In other words re- publicanism has rendered this infant in- dustry so strong and lusty that it can safely defy its creator and protection. It is now stronger than the government itself, because it has money enough to control leg dslation, and the administration to boot.
 There Is a possibility that the split in the Carnegie combine may bring into the ar mor-plate field a rival plant. MT Prick is said to be negotiating a purchase of the Sparrow's Point plant. He knows all the secrets of the Krupp method of manufac- turing armor. It Is not patented process He may establish an armor-plate mill and if he does there will certainly be drop in the price of armor.
 But the true policy of the government is to get wholly out of the hands of the ring that is taking from s4OoOO 900 to s75,OOoOOO a year from the pockets of the people be- yond a reasonable profit The Carnegie Bethlehem combine has no just claims of any kind upon the federal government.

SUGAR MATER RUNNING

From the Indianapolis News.
 More than one small boy said to his com panions Saturday, Sugar water is run nin'!' It did not take hong for this infor- nation to be conveyed to the juvenile pop ulatfon all over the city, and sugar trees were hunted in the parks and roadways, while many went out into the country with buckets for a more liberal supply. The warm weather, alternating with frost in the last few days, has started the sap flowing plentifully, and the outlook is for a good supply of maple sugar this spring. There are three camps in active operation two miles northeast of the city, and the work of extracting the sugar water and boiling it was kept up all day yesterday. There are several other camps around the city.

RECREATION OF THE BoERs

From Leslie's Monthly.
 The Boer army is a wonderful mobile body. notwithstanding its lack of discipline. These men, from the habits of hunting and wandering. know the topographical>secret of every kloof and berg, nor are they han dfcapped by the fear of getting beyond their base of supplies. The veldt furnishes food for their horses, and the men carry with them strings of biltong, or jerked beef, upon which, with water from the abundant springs, they can live for days And sleeping without cover on the veldt, or on the rocky slopes of mountains, is not a hardship. Tn truth, that is to them a pastime and delight. The British forces are attempting to conquer a horde of hardy nomads to whom the rigors of war are recreation.
