 A few weeks ago President Mckinley
 cabled his congratulations to the Emperor of Austria on the occasion of the 10th an- niversary of the Emperor's birthday, and
 a newspaper, which for fifty years had
 been considered one of the most reputable
 and conservative of American journals,
 discussed the Presidents act of courtesy and diplomacy in a thoroughly disreput- able manner saying sarcastically that It | was proper the "President should send his | concentrations to a fellow-monarch In | Europe" The newspaper then proceeded | to deal in the most arrant and slanderouS l demagogy decrying the President and
 seeking to prove in effect that the mass
 of American citizens were as vulgar as
 itself The answer to that sort of political
 filth was given by the people last Tuesday,
 however much some of us may like or
 dislike it's political effect.
 l Doubtless President Mckinley will today 1 give demagogic and vulgar sheets another
 opportunity to display their lack of da-
 cency, for this is the 59th birthday of the
 Prince Of Wales and the President will cable his congratulations with the full l knowledge that he expresses the sentiment
 of very nearly every sef-respecting Amer ican regarding an English gentleman who
 has been all his life friend of the Amer l ican people. The Prince of Wales has all | ways appeared to be eager to demonstrate "a
 his friendship for the people of this coun- try, and his good will is cordially recipro- | cated. He is 59 today-almost an old man
 and Americans will wish for him many
 long years of health and happiness. | Throughout the British Empire the day 1 will be officially honored, and in England | everybody will observe it, for the Prince Is 1 personally the best loved man whoever | lived amongst the English.
 | Lieutenant Hobson, who is now the guest | of Birmingham, will not make the mistake l of attributing any degree of his welcome
 by the multitude to curiosity or the com l mon spirit of mere lion hunting. The un- 1 eXampled cordala of the greeting to him l yesterday was entirely sincere, and was a 1 perfectly frank tribute of the people 10 his | genius, his worth as a man and to the | fame which he so nobly won. Every person
 who saw him was glad to see him, and | every one honored him as an illustrious | hero from Alabama and of the world. His | own homefolk here did not acclaim him | because it is the custom of the world to l do so, but because they wished to honor | him as a man worthy of the highest honor
 within their power to show. The scene of l which he was the center at the State Fair 1 yesterday afternoon was most striking | uneXamped indeed, amongst these peo- 1 pie. Men and women and children strus-
 gled with almost desperate earnestness for 1 the privilege of shaking hands with Hob
 son and personally assuring him of their
 admiration, their good will, their profound
 respect. And the best of it all was they
 were thoroughly in earnest. They believed
 in Hobson and they honored him. | And so was the welcome to the older l Alabama hero of the world, Little Old | Fighting Joe," one of the most luminous l and most admirable figures in history! | The people of Alabama have been striv- ing for five and thirty years to prove to
 
 | for him, and he must know that his peo- l pie are most tenderly attached to him. | Few men have filled so much that was | daring and great in history-few have made | so much history as General Wheeler; and 1 through his forty years of fame he has l kept his heart young and true He has | enjoyed the past few weeks in Alabama | as he perhaps never before enjoyed him. | self amongst his people. It has been a | continual love feast, and through it all | General Wheeler has been as happy as | schoolboy at the beginning of a holiday | Only one thing has occurred to disturb 1 the happy flow of General Wheelers spir- | it's Il was charged enormously that he | wasn't faithful to the national Democratic 1 ticket. In point of fact he was and is ab- l absolutely loyal to his party, and by hls { earnest efforts added thousands to the 1 Democratic vote last Tuesday. He has | never experienced an hour of disloyalty to
 the party of his own home people. l The finishing touches are being put on | St. Vncent's Hospital and the noble in- stitution will be formally opened on Tues ] day. November 27. The Right Rev. Bishop l Allen, who laid the cornerstone year ago

 gushed citizens.
