Der of new national banks have been or soon will be established. This is particu- larly the case in Texas, and in the lumber districts of Mississippi More state banks have of late been organized in Georgia, and this may be said to be the case in the southeast, generally speaking. The law does not permit national banks to loan money upon real estate security, and for this reason they do not fit well the rural districts of the cotton states.
 But doubtless each county commercial center will have a national bank; but the small towns are not, it is plain, in hur ry to rush into the national system. If the supreme court, which is to hear at it's next term a case involving the constitu- tionality of the ten per cent. tax on cir culation-if it should declare the tax un- constitutional-then indeed there would be a rush the other way. State banks would then be multiplied and perhaps intending bankers are awaiting the anticipated de- cision before deciding which system they will adopt.

people of Louisville, Major Scott declared 1t to have been extraordinary in it's cor diality and hospitality. Everybody. from the beautiful women to the small boys in the street, seemed to have but one pur- pose, and that purpose was to promote the comfort and enjoyment of the veterans. Nobody in Louisville appeared to be trying to make money profit out of the reunion. Actually, it seemed that prices had been put down instead of increased. The Ala bamians had an especially enjoyable time. It was an interesting fact that the oldest and the youngest of all rebel brigadiers" were Alabamians-General Michael L. Bull ger of Tallapoosa being the oldest veteran now living, and General George P. Harri- son of Lee being the youngest general.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Chances in inc Senate.

The senate doubtless will remain repubh- can after March 4, although the terms of thirty senators expire at that time, or one third of the entire number. The states which have or which are to elect senators before March are Georgia, Kansas, Ar kansas, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mon- tana, New Hampshire, Texas, Illinois, West Virginia Maine, Iowa, Massachus- etts, Delaware, Kentucky, Oregon, Michi- gan, Virginia, Alabama, Minnesota South Dakota, New Jersey. Idaho, Mississippi, Nebraska South Carolina, Tennessee, Wyoming, Rhode Island, Colorado, Penn sylvania and Utah.
 In all this list there are not many doubt full states. Lucien Baker, a republican, may be defeated in Kansas, and Thomas H. Carter, republican, may go down amid the flashing of s1,oOO bills in Montana. Stephen B. Elkins, a republican millionaire, may have to fight hard in the modern man. ner to keep himself in West Virginia seat, for the state is normally democratic. Geo. w. Mcbride, a republican, will know tonight whether he is to be reelected. Sem ator Shoup, republican, is marked for defeat in Idaho, and Senator Butler, a populist of North Carolina, will be suc- ceeded by democrat It is believed that the fusionists will carry this year the Ne braska legislature, thus re-electing Senator Allen and putting a fusionist in Sentor Thurston's place.
 These changes will reduce the republican majority but they will not overcome it. The most that can be promised is closely balanced senate after March 1, with a slight preponderance in favor of the republicans A sweeping democratic victory in the cen- tral west would, however, change the com pleXion of the senate.

THE ISLE OF THE LONG AGO

By Benjamin F. Taylor. Oh, a wonderful stream is the River Time, As it flows through the realm of Tears, With a faultless rhythm and musical
 rhyme, And broader sweep and a snug sublime As it blends with the ocean of Years. How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow,
 And the summers like buds between: And the years in the sheaf-so they come
 and they go On the Rivers breast with the ebb and
 flow,
 As they glide in the shadow and sheen. There's a magical Isle up the River Time Where the softest of airs are playing; There's a cloudless sky and a tropical
 cline, And a voice as sweet as a vesper chime, And the Junes with the roses are staying And the name of this isle is the Long Age, And we bury our treasures there; There are brows of beauty and blossoms of
 snow They are heaps of dust, but we loved them There are trinkets and tresses of hair There are fragments of song that nobody
 sings, And part of an infants prayer, There's harp unswept and lute without
 strings, There are broken vows and pieces of rings, And the garments that she used to wear. There are hands that are waved when the
 fairy shore By the mirage Is lifted in air; And we sometimes hear through the tur-
 bulent roar Sweet voices we heard in the days gone be-
 fore.
  Oh, remember for aye be the blessed Isle All the days of our life till night. And when evening comes with its beauti-
 full smile, And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile,
 May that Greenwood" of soul be in
 sight

THE ODIOUs STAMP TAXES

From the Denver Times.
 How much longer are the people to be stamp-taxed for the sake of a surplus? How much longer is the war revenue tax to be collected, when it is plainly ap- parent that such warfare is we happen to have on hand does not require it? Secretary Gage says the war taxes are piling up a surplus that will reach s70, ,OoO,- 900 at the close of the present fiscal year, and in all probability will be greatly in ex- cess of that amount And still the govern ment fines the citizen:
 When he sends telegram.
 When he draws a check.
 When he becomes a member of cor poration.
 When he transfers his stock.
 When he insures his life or his house. When he assigns his insurance. When he makes a note to raise money for the payment of his other taxes. When he buys a money order.
 When he executes a lease.
 When he sends a paid telephone mes- sage.
 When an indemnity bond is given. When a bill of exchange is drawn. When the citizens executes an instru- ment necessary in the sale of merchandise on change.
 When he ships goods by freight or ex- press.
 When he clears vessel and files man. ifest.
 When he buys ticket to go abroad When he executes power of attorney. When he buys proprietary medicines. When he chews gum.
 When he uses any perfumes or his wife indulges in cosmetics.
 When a note is protested~
 When a warehouse receipt is given. When merchandise is entered at 'cus- tom-house.
 When-will it be ended?
