Child Labor Bill.

The advocates of inhuman child labor in this State are saying that Alabama cannot afford to pass so moderate and reasonable Q bill as MT. Leaths, because surrounding states will not pass such bills Let us see what the truth is.
 In the Georgia Legislature, now in ses- sion, the subject is very prominent and the papers are full of it. The mill owners did succeed in striking down the ten-hour clause as to little children, although, good ness knows, it was humane and reasonable, but they did not succeed to any further extent The new Georgia bill which will ' be pressed against any and all opposition provides that no child under 12 years of age shall be employed in any textile mill in the State, and it further provides that no child between the ages of F and 14 years shall be employed in such a mill unless he or she, poor thing, can read and write. Any one who violates these provisions would be liable to fines or imprisonment vides that at least thirty minutes shall be allowed for the monday meal.
 Tennessee also proposes to put an end to the dwarfing of young lives. Her Leg islature will soon be in session, and against its meeting a bill has been prepared by Representative Hall of Knoxville based to a great extent on the pending Georgia bill. It would shut out form mill employment all children below the age of 12 years. We need not mention the humane laws of such States as Massachusetts and Mich igan. These are well known No one ex- poets that the standard can be reached at one bound but it does seem to be reasona- ble to ask that the blessed little children, as one Georgia writer puts it, should have as much protection as the laws throw around game and oysters and the festive opoSSum.

Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan, who died suddenly at his home in London on Thurs day last, was the most versatile and popu- lar. of all English composers. And his de- mise at this time is especially to be la mented in the art world, for he was at work on a grand opera which, 1t is reasonable to believe, would have been valuable contri- button to music.
 Sullivan was a remarkable man, and the record of his life affords striking example of how, even in conservative old country like England, where social lines are closely drawn, worth and genius are not only quickly appreciated, but as promptly re- warded. The composer of 'The Lost Chord" and the list of comic operas begin ming with "Pinafore'' and ending with 'The Grand Duke" was the son of bandmaster.
The age-herald., 1900-11-25

Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls, Come hither the dances are done, In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls,
 Queen lily and rose in one;
 Shine out, little head, running over with
 curls,
 To the flowers, and be their sun. There has fallen a splendid tear
 From the passon-fiower at the gate; She Is coming, my dove, my dear;
 She is coming, my life, my fate; The red rose cries, "She is near, she Is
 near;'
 And the white rose weeps, "She is late;" The larkspur listens, q hear, I hear"
 And the lily whispers, T wait.' She is coming, my own, my sweet,
 Were 1t ever so airy a tread, My heart would hear her and beat,
 Were it earth in an earthly bed; My dust would hear her and beat,
 Had I lain for a century dead; Would start and trembe under her feet,
 And blossom in purple and red.
 Every man has had his queen rose in the rosebud garden of girls; and no son of Ad- am ever yet loved maiden who did not at some time in the brief or long course of his affections appear to him to be perfectly beautiful-faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidfy null, dead perfection, no more. It Is ordered by law beyond our ken that everybody shall have a sweetheart, and everybody Is glad.
 The old grandsire, with his pipe and his mug, sits by the freside of old age linking fancy unto fancy, and fashioning images of the past out of the fire flashes and the smoke that upward curls and swirls and the tenderest figure of his dreams, floating far on memory'S ghostly horizon, is hls little sweetheart of the longgone years; her to whom he gave the first wild violet of the springtime and the first reckoning apple of summer; whose worn little books iN bore as burden of joy on the school way; and whose knightly escort he was to the place of frolic; whose smile he sought by every means conceivable, and whose shy hand-pressure he treasured above all his hopes of heaven. Wife came to him, and children have come even unto the third generation; but he would not for the world surrender and pass from his loving and mo- ble old heart the face and the love of his queen rose of the girls of long, long ago.
 
 And so with the sire, who sees his own offspring of the happy bridal, the queen rose of today's lad with clouds of glory trailing far, growing into the fuller years, and day by day drawing nearer the altar! Her presence thrills him with a nameless pride of self-ereated possession and a love that is immeasurable; and as she comes and goes, with her own little loves and little romances, her daintiness, her soul tidness, her surpassing lovelness, she sug gests to him his little sweetheart of the yesteryears, maybe the mother of the mer- " maiden who now looks to him for coun- sel, maybe the mother of some other maid en far away.
 And memory of his day of youthful joy with his queen rose warns his heart with infinite tenderness, and it is not unholy if there be in his goodnight kiss of his own come home from her dance and her lovers something of that other one of the howery and bope-haunted past. And he Is a man

Succession is Provided For.

The passage over the veto of a nearly unanimous vote in both houses of the sue cession bill, together with the improving health of the Governor-elect, removes from the State the dangers that confronted it. The Legislature met its duty bravely and promptly, and the Will of the People will remain paramount in this State.
 Many errors have been insidiously spread throughout the State These errors are not important now, because Colonel Sanford is regaining his health; but if this good for tune had not come to the State, and the president of the Senate had been sworn in as Governor and had begun to act, and the Supreme Court had declared the succession bill uncons titutional the statement has been spread over the State that this would have led to chaos. It has also been said that for this reason Governor Johnston could not safely vacate the executive office to President of the Senate Jelks, and hence, [ although anxious to lay down his official burdens, he is in duty bound, for reasons NO hold office until 1t should be officially de- termincd by the Supreme Court that the act regulating the successor is constitu, tional.
 These suggestions, however, lost sight of a familiar and well settled principle of law which makes valid the public acts of a de facto officer and prevents their being as- sailed collaterally. In other words, if the Governor r-elect should fail to qualify De- cember 1, either because of death or dis ability. and Governor Johnston should va- cate the office to President of the Senate Jellls, the latter would become, if not the de jure, the de facto Governor. and all his official acts would be valid.
 An officer de facto Is one who, having some apparent authority or color of title to the office, or who has the reputation of being the officer he assumes to be, is in

Silver in 1904,

Senator Jones of Arkansas very signifi- cantly said last week the silver question may solve itself. Should the amount of gold produced be ample to maintain a sui ficient volume of metallic money and in- sure the stability of prices, the silver ques- tion will be subordinated'
 Now that is just what will occur, for the mines on the Rand have been reopened, and from them will soon be coming a gold en tide that will affect prices throughout the world. The outpour will soon rise to $1OO, ,OOO a year, and it will be continu- ous and steady. In the year 1898 the pro- duction of the Rand rose to $SO,0O0, 900, and it can readily be pushed by enterprise to matter of deep mining, for the gold-bear- ing rock is at hand in quantities that will last at least two generations. The aboli- tion of the dynamite monopoly in the Transvaal, and the greater facilities that the new government will afford, will pro- mote mining. and the supply of gold from the Rand alone may safely be set down at slO0O 100000 a year.
 This great sum will be swelled by in- creases from the Klondike in AlasAa, from British Columbia, and from Cripple Creek. All these sources of supply are in Anglo-Saxon hands; but it is believed that the production of Siberia will be largely increased when the new railroad is com pleted. Although the output will be in 1901 about 355, 900, O0O-a sum large enough to en- able as Senator Jones suggests, the silver question to settle itself. There will be gold enough to carry on the trade and industry of the world. Indeed economists are be- ginning to think there will be gold enough in short time to swell prices and to swell also commerce and all industrial activity. Such movements have heretofore followed large Increases in the gold supply, and Senator Jones is quite right in expecting something of a similar nature as a result of the reopening of the mines on the Rand. The gold of California increased the price of commodities fully 20 per cent, and that supply never equalled the output of the deep mines near Johannesburg. The Rand mines will certainly advance prices, if they do not stimulate speculation, and at the same time they will give the silver question, as Senator Jones suggests, a good square chance to settle itself.
