BIG HATS OFF, PLEASE

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Mason City, Ia.-The Methodist church Of this city, one of the strong and popular organizations, with pr. Dewitt Clinton as pastor, has started crusade against the big hats worn by the ladies. They have caused great deal of annoyance to both sexes in public congregations. The official board in session passed the following reso- lution, which it Is hoped will have a salu- tary effect:
 Resolved, By the official board of the Methodist Episcopal church. that-it being in perfect harmony with movements all over the country, and that it is in strict conformity with customs and with laws in some of the states of the Union-the la- dies of the church and congregation be encouraged in the removal of their hats during morning and evening s.'EFs;tas; that while we admire the artistic creations of the headgear of our wives and sweethearts, we will promise not to lose any Of our love or affection for them if they will unan- imously grant the request of this petition" |"

PROGRESS IN GERMANY
} London Telegraph.

frOm IIle LOHuOH IeleSrdpH.
 During the last thirty years there has been nothing like the urban and industrial development of rustic Germany except that of America. Berlin has increased in popu- lation faster than New York. Hamburg, in the last quarter of a century. has tripled the number of it's inhabitants. Between 1880 and 1890 Cologne doubled itself.
 Leipzig has grown more rapidly than San Francisco.
 The agricultural population of eastern, Germany has swarmed into the great in- dustral districts of the west, and still these are so far from being glutted that the em- ployer holds out yet higher temptations to the peasant to come to the city and to leave field work to Russians and Poles. Wages are rising and hours are becoming shorter.
 The emigration which formerly streamed fast from Germany is diminishing from year to year. So far is Germany from be- ing crushed by conscription that the spIen- dor and expense of municipal improvements go hand in hand with the extraordinary increase of the towns in mere point of pop ulation.

Carnegie. Prick ard Phipps.

Andrew Carnegie is mot at present taking care of the Fflipinos or the Boers or any other outside persons. He is even letting outlying towns go unsupplied with books. He is no longer atriotic or charitable; for c,e has a war of his own on his hands. The Trick rebellion has spread to MT. Phipps. taking in his entire personally and hold dngs in the various Carnegie companies, and also in the limited partnerships that bear at the front the mighty name Car negie." All Carnegdedom is upset by the Trick -Phipps rebellion.
 The aid of the courts has been invoked, and the chief contention in. the courts will relate to an agreement that bound, or seemed to bind, a retiring parner to accept ''the full book value" for his interests in the various Carnegie concerns. Under thts plan MT. Prick would receive about $7.000.- O00 whereas his interests are worth, so he he says, over $21,OOOOO0. In his present frame of mind ne is not inclined to give his late esteemed senior partner the diff ference or at least good share of the difference. He is in fact on the warpath, and Warrior Phfpps is close behind him. The excellent MT Phipps held, it seems, q larger interest than the wartilke Prick did. He ranked next\t to the Scottish ''mon" himself.
 It also appears that the Frick-Phipps combine is about to set up, rather to buy out and enlarge, rival establishment at Sparrow's Point, Maryland. and Mary land is wholly willing. Thus the war goes merrfly on, and no seems to care which side wins provided each puts up the best possible fight. When prices go pack to the bottom, neither will be able to put on the market iron that will touch in price the barge article from tine Birmingham district, and so it comes about that this district has no interest in tae quarrel that has sprung up in the once happy family.

cal instruments, the government should im- press at once all the piano-organs in the land, including their owners, and dispatch them where they are wanted. thus giving relief where relief is needed, and carrying the blessings of civilization to benighted people.
 There is some anxiety over what Great Civillzer Leary may order next. It is feared that he may order woman's club, or yei- low journal Or Grambs orchestra, or some other institution that. cannot readily be spared-that cannot under our old-time re- publican notions be pressed into service Our Leary has started in to make Guam the ideal spot of the earth, despite the fact that it is very far from Kentucky, and mountain dew is impossible where there Is neither dew nor mountain. His pace Is rapid but as he is beyond cable, beyond anything except a semi-annual call of a government steamer, there is no way of heading him off, unless indeed all steamers are notified to touch at other ports in the big Pacific.

A Direct Vote for Senator.

The Jefferson county democratic executive committee has been called to meet in Bir- mingham on Wednesday, the 21st. to for mulate plans for the primary election to be held in this county on the 14th of April.
 The committee should carry out the true vote for governor. Put the names of can- didates on the ticket and vote direct for them. Otherwise the contest becomes com plicated and the opportunity for dickering and trading in the county convention may become so great as to lead to the selection of delegates to the state convention favor ing some candidate distasteful to the dem- ocrats of Jefferson.
 It is of the greatest importance to every citizen of Jefferson county to select the proper candidate for governor and the prop CT representa- tives in the state legislature. Do not complicate the issues, vote direct and let Jeffersons choice for governor go to the state convention with a solid and enthusiastic delegation for, him. Jefferson has heretofore been a powef in state con- ventions. Let her democratic executive committee provide for direct vote Tor governor this time in order that this con- test may be settled in the primary, and in order that Jefferson's delegation may not be divided in the state convention. Direct action by the people is the true democratic policy.

WHAT RUsKIN LEFT BEHIND

From the London News
 MT. Ruskin, it has been calculated wrote more books than any three of our leading thinkers. They number over seventy. The entries in the most recent biblbography-in- cluding various editions, letters, etc.-reach nearly twelve hundred. But the books he wrote were only a small portion of those which he projected His drawers ait Brant- wood must be full of manuscripts, and his letters will one day make @ most delightful volume-or rather, series of volumes. It is said that he appointed as his literary exe- cutors MT. Charles Eliot Morton and MT. Alexander Wedderburn, Q. C., the Oxford pupil" who edited his Arrows of the Chace."
 MT. Ruskin's art treasures will presumnD- bly, remain at Brantwood. They have been much reduced by gifts to public galleries and museums, but still include a splendid collection of Turner's drawings; countless drawings by MT. Ruskin himself a set of Durer's engravings, and many drawings by Burne-Jones, Rossetti. Wdlliam Hunt and others of his fayorite artists. The Brailt- wood collection of minerals, formed without any regard to cost, is probably unique, and MT. Ruskin was also the possessor of many valuable missals and manuscripts Some years ago he made over Brentwood and fits contents to his cousin, Mrs. Arthur Severn, by deed of gift

Cur Island of Guam.

There is only one I.eary. and there will probably never be another Leary of equal magnitude. The only Leary is Captain Richard Leary, naval commander of Guam, one of the choicest and ripest of our new possessions. Our only Leary is net bother ing himself over any musty principles drawn from MT. Jefferson's impulsive declaration. The consent of the governed is presumed in Guam to be the will of the governor, who, 1t should be remembered, is our beloved Leary.
 Our Leary is carrying civilization to the Guamites with no hestating steps. Before a steamer sails he rides around the island and notes what 1t wants, and he then pro- ceeds to fill up a reauisition for the arti- cles In his last requisition he called for a library and a large lot of musical instru- ments. As our fellow citizens of Guam speak an unwritten tongue that is part Malay and part several times several other languages, the department is troubled over the filling of the requisition. If Guam simply wants a library on the plan oi the millionaire who ordered so many lnea feet of books. it is thought Congressional Records would answer. At any rate they would not be missed at home.

THE OILY Da,ty NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Two Machines in the Courts

The Kentucky squabble has degenerated from civil war and revolution to words and court proceedings The latter phase of it Is less exciting, but it is far more salutary for the politicians actively engaged in it and for the community at large. One capi- tai has been, by an order issued by Claim ant Taylor, eliminated from the pro- gramme London's short-lived glory has been snatched away as suddenly and Illegal ly as it was conferred, and Louisville and Frankfort are now all the capitals that Kentucky possesses.
 The contention now relates to the selec- tlon of judicial umpire. The Louisville governor very naturally urges that state issues should be settled in state courts, es- pecially by the court of appeals, which is democratic. The Frankfort governor in- sists that the case should be carried to the federal courts, which are republican. No sane person believes that the state courts would 2"side" with the Frankfort machine, and all know the federal courts would vote against the Louisville machine. To this complexion hath the struggle come at last to the choice of a partizan umpire.
 When the machines come into politics fair play went out even of the courts. It must be conceded that Governor Beckham has the better of it, because he has followed and proposes to follow hereafter the meth- ods named in the state constitution. This should make him the de faeto governor un- til the courts determine who the de jure governor is. At present no one knows who the de facto governor is. In point of fact Kentucky lacks at present a de faeto gover- nor. Mr. Beckham is it in Louisville, and Mir Taylor in Frankfort, but outside of those localities there is division of public sentiment. The state treasury is involved in a case in the federal courts, and the case as a whole promises to become mud dled to a point that will satisfy the most exacting space-writer. It becomes more mudded as it becomes more peaceful.

COUNT NEEDS A MILLION
New York World.

From the New York World.
 Count Boni de Castellane has abandoned all hope of obtaining possession of his wifes share of Jay Goulds estate, and is bending all his energies toward the nego- tia ton of loan
 Under MT. Gould's will" said Frederic k. Coudert, Jr, Count de Castellane's law yer, last night, Countess de Castellane cannot obtain possession, of her share of the estate outright She can only receive the income. ats the principal is held by trustees, who are powerless to change the terms of the will.
 'As to what negotiations are pending I have nothing to say. Whatever communi- cations have passed between Count de Castellane and myself are the privileged communications of lawyer and client"
 It was reported yesterday that no less than a million dollars will answer the needs of Count de CaLstellane, and that a proposition had been made to the Gould estate by which the Count hoped to raise at least half million. One report fixed his indebtedness at forty million Grancs MT. Coudert refused to discuss tlhese reports.
 NOuiit uc SdSlelidHe Qlu not Qeny yeSter- day when seen at the Waldorf that he was here to raise money. He denied that he had seen Russell Sage.
 An authoritative dental was sent out from Washington last night of the report that Ambassador Cambron, o< France, had given a banquet to Count de Castellane while on a recent visit to that city. The statement. which evidently came direct from Ambassador Cambon, stated that 'the French ambassador was present at an informal luncheon at one of the fashion able restaurants of New York, at which Count and Countess de Castelane were also invited The affair was purely social. and has been given an importance entirely disproportionate to its informal charac- ter' tLIlpH

There may be a pleasant side to the future, and Amer ican enterprise and American cleanliness may transform this possession into a llv- able territory. but 1t is dire bad now, from every point of view. No 'igood govern ment' can banish ants, flying cockroaches and kerosene odors from the Filipino houses, and nothing alter that blessed cli- mate, as science has also failed to change mitigate our east winds.

The resolutions state that tariff of 25 per cent. of the present tariff on all goods from Puerto Rico is too low to pre- vent the importation of products complained of. and that it will not protect the American farmer. Copies of the resolutions were forwarded to Senator Penrose and to Con- sressman Brossius. who represent the Lan- caster county district.
