Iayior Will Not Sian.

It is plain there will not be session of the legislature in the Frankfort state house on Monday. De Facto Governor Taylor will not permit it ito be held Both sides are jockeying for terms, and Taylor has received enough encouragement from Washin gton or elsewhere to justify him in holding out, and in demanding more specific, If not better terms than are con tained in the Louisville agreement.
 The Louisville agreement has not been published, and the general public do not know its terms. It provides, it seems, for a new election law. without mentioning in any way the Goebel law-the new law to be framed by selected men from both par republicans, who are confessedly in mi nority when the democrats are not con- fused and weakened by factional fights.
 But Taylor goes further by asking for a new state election at once under the proposed new law. This would be tanta- mount to a repeal of the constitution, and
 
 be held that the Taylor revolution has brushed away an government, thus requir- ing an organization from the bottom up.
 In the meanwhile the federal courts have been appealed to by the officers below the Heutenant-g -governor-by the auditor and the treasurer on the Taylor ticket If Judge Taft, a republican, sustains them in funds would be at the disposal of the Tay- Tor revolutionists, and the situation would thereby become very much complicated and confused.

Il ONLY DAILY nEWspApn IN ALABAMA
Hay-PauncefOte Agreement.

| When Great Britain put aside dual con Hrol of the Nicaragua which was morally at least guaranteed by this country she asked that the canal be not made in case of war base of military eperations-that 1t be not fortified either on the see or in the interior. A yellow journal in New York is now demanding tine rejection of the new treaty on that account.
 All this ds the merest nonsense. The supposition is that the United States and Great Britain will go to war, although they have been on friendly terms very nearly a century, and are less likely to go to war now than ever before. But were war declared between them, what good would come from Notifications on the ca nal? Whichever power controlled the sea in front of Greytown or Brito would con- trol the canal If England, using Jamaica, two days sail away, as a base, could dom dnate Greytown, all the Qualifications that America could build would not open the canal to American ships. Sea power is much more effective than land power. be- cause of its mobility. Unless the United States can dominate the sea. the canal will be closed during a war, and it really does not concern either party to the Hay Pauncefote agreement what the conditions as to Notifications are. In ease of such war Great Britain would, as things now stand. control the canal, and Qualifications along its hne would not make bit of dlf- ference one way or the other
 The yellow journals must, however, have an ever-living issue, and the new one wdll serve for a day or two until a newer one be found. There is nothing in it, and there Is nothing in the expectation that uhe treaty will be rejected. IL may, how ever, be amended in some particulars by the senate, and as amended it will doubt Hess be accepted by Great Britain, and thus boggle and hindrance to the early con- struction Of the canal will be removed

WHAT WILL THE SENATE DO .

From the New York World.
 After making every allowance for Da1y's hatred of Clark and his determination that at any cost Clark shall not sit in the United States senate from Montana, 1t is still per- fectly clear, as the resume of the evidence in the World yesterday proved. that Clark did buy his election. Nobody in or out of the senate who has followed the case can doubt this
 Hitherto the senate has on various pre- texts refused to make any real inquiry in to the methods by which so many of its members get their seats At last it has been compelled to take cognizance of a growing scandal, crowning disgrace.
 Now is the opportunity for the senate to assert It's dignity and prove by at least one solitary, shining example that an un- scrupulous millionaire who buys a seat as he would buy mine, picture. a castle or anything else that he desired very much, will be cast out upon proof of his bribery.
 What will the senate do?

Million Dollar School Appropriation.

Alabama is doing well for her school children. but Mississippi is doing still bet ter. Alabama has appropriated million dollars-in the next school year--for her schools, but her valuations stand in a round sum at two hundred and fifty mill lions, while Mississippi has appropriated a million dollars to her schools, and her val nations are fully one hundred millions less. Alabama is not keeping step with her i'm. mediate sisters, but then she is doing fair ly well-much better at any rate than the executive office intended or expected or desired.
 Mississippi is now distributing to her counties and separate school districts two thirds of her magnificent appropriation. She has 552,595 enrolled scholars black and white, and each receives the benefit of sl.2o, and in the spring each will re- ceive 40 cents head more, bringing the capitation allowance up to s1.6o. And in this connection 1t may be well to state that the educational charity of Mississippi like that of Georgia. is distributed to all alike, to the rich and the poor, to the child with a black skin and the child with a white skin, absolutely alike. It may sur prise some to read that this is not the case in this state. A bill was sneaked through the legislature that changes for the worse the distribution of the states money, thereby putting the states educa- tional charity on a very anomalous basis
 However, Rome was not built in a day, and Alabama will rise to the Georgia and Mississippi basis, if given time enough in which to down her demagogues and moss- backs. The states present appropriation need not be enlarged. It is a splendid gift Ito her brght-eyed little folks. But the communities that want still better schools should be permitted to have them, and this is only equitably possible by giving them the choice of local taxation whenever they desire 1t. Does any one know any reason why a community should not be permitted to tax itself for public educa- ton? Should educa ton of a public nature be publicly promoted in Alabama, or pub lfcly retarded7 This is just about the size of the problem. and the figures of the twelfth census. now near at hand. will fur nish the answer.
