How the Fish Trust Operates.

Cleveland, O., March 1.-The fish
trust, organized year ago last August,
by Is of the fish dealing concerns of
the country, is now engaged in cutting
prices, which is thought to be an at
tempt to secure control of the fish
market.
In localities where the trust has alb
solute control, it is stated an advance
of about 40 per cent has been made,
while in territory covered in part by
independent companies, prices have
been cut to water edge prices. There
was time when independent fisher
men got rich.

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL.
Strange Law Which Was in Force in
England In 1900.

-
England In 1900.
There will be an interesting function
in London shortly, when the coal ex-
change celebrates its jubilee. The occa-
sion is one for recalling strange remi-
niscences; for as late as the four
teenth century prohibition was issued
against the burning Of coal, with Sc
we're penalties decreed against any per-
son who warmed his house by coal
fire. IN the early days of Lord Mayor
Wilmington the burning of coal was
considered so great a public nuisance
that it was made capital offense, and
one man was actually hanged for in
dulging in a coal fire. AS matter Of
fact, this ordinance was never re-
pealed. but in Dick Wilmington s."
third mayoralty it is evident there was
a great trade in coal, and the sugges-
ton has been made that coal was
brought to London in boats known as
the cats this was the real origin Of
the story of Dick Wilmington and his
cat The coal exchange, however, is a
modern institution. 1t is also one Of
the most important Of London's marts.
Under the shadow of its domed roof
commercial transactions are daily car
ried through of greater value than in
connection with any other mercantile
building in the world. Unlike the corn
exchange in Mark lane, it is not a pri-
vate concern, but is city market con-
Quoted on the same principles as the
other markets opened by the city cor
poration. Opened with much ceremony
in October, 1S49, by the prince consort,
the present building is just about to
celebrate its jubilee. But the market
itself is older than the building. Up
to 1907 it was in the hands Of private
individuals, but in that year it was
purchased by the corporation for 925,-

Important Court Decision.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-In the case of
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
Railroad Company versus William
Voight, the United States supreme
court decided that an express messen-
ger who was injured in railroad
accident after signing an ~reement to
relieve the railroad company from
responsibility in case of accident could
not claim damages. The court held
that there was no principle of public
policy preventing a mans making such
a contract.

Our Increase of Insanity.

Much discussion has been aroused
lately by the alarming increase of in
sanity. Our high living is the cause
assigned. In the rush for money, men
and women neglect their health until
the breakdown comes. The best way
to preserve the health is by a faithful
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
cures stomach ills, such as constipation

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only abb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it.

HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
M. E. Aldrlch Will Be Seated.

The house committee on elections has re- ported in favor of unseating MT. Robbins, and in favor of seating Mir. Aldrich. The house will sustain the report, and MT. Aid rich will soon be serving his third term as the result of three contests before three republican houses.
 This sort of thing will go on without end while the suffrage stands as it does in this state The democracy attempted to put an end to contests such as that in the Fourth congressional district and the suffrage would have been put on a proper basis If wretched piece of personal politics had not intervened and turned aside the desired re- suit. The man who prevented the reform of the suffrage Is the man who is at the bottom responsible for the misrepresenta- tfon of the Fourth congressional district. No one should think the evil is confined to the Fourth district, for similar contests are possible in all the districts of the state that contain heavy- negro populations An dis triots of the state are open to the danger of misrepresentation through contests in re- publican congresses. When the people of Alabama desire to put an end to such work they must first put down demagogism at home, and proceed Co put the ballot on white basis. The majority report in the Aldrich- Robbins case simply attacks the vote of Dallas county. The majority of the committee proceeded to throw out what fit was pleased to call "the fraudulent vote,'' thus changing majority for MT. Robbins on the face of the returns of 1,23O votes, to a majority of 206 for MT. Aldrich. These changes were not based on specific evidence, but they were arbitrarily made, because the election officials were democrats, while in the precincts there were
 known to be certain numbers of negro votes. The entire business was conducted in
 a mathematical and arbitrary manner. The
 stoppage of the movement in favor of suff-
 rage reform invited the result, and 1t will be
 strange indeed if contestants in other dis
 tricts do not bob up in the next congress if
 it be controlled by republicans. The men
 who opposed suffrage reform must now answer for the natural and inevitable re- suits of their disgrareful injection of per- sonalfsm into a momentous and far-reach- ing reform.

jority of the senate they may decide to freeze out the non-nillionaires that have had the presumption to secure seats that belong to the rich only. Millionaires are proverbislly clannish, and in the course of events and the republican party this seems process may be in part political and in part social, or 1t may be wholly the latter. which would of course be dreadful, for what would life be without mipionaires?
 But what would be Alabamas predica- ment under this policy? There would be no resting here then. Not even land sales would suffice. We might, 1t is true, breed an eligible or two if iron stays up, and yellow pine might spring-board a man into the club, but five-cent cotton will never do it. This state would have to breed some eiigsbles, and when she gets one he would have to be laid away in camphor so that he would be ready for use when needed. The supply is dreadfully short We have the tramps Of the republican party, but their corollaries, the millionadres. we have not.
 The millionaire club should not complete the revolution with suddenness. It should give ample warming. The cotton states do the bleeding under the subsidy system of the republican party. and the bled are not prepared for the change in the makeup of the senate They need time. They need pensions and subsidy schemes, and above all else a tariff especially adopted to in- fant industries of southern origin.

Primaries s Under the Law.

The Pettus primary law is not an ideal or comprehensive law, but it is much better than no law at all. and its restrictions. pen alties and provisions are, as its author has pointed out, valuable safeguards to the voter against various forms of dishonesty. The manner of political action in county or town is optional but when a recognized party in a town county resorts to "pri- maries'' in the ordinary acceptation of the word those primaries must be held under the Pettus law, and if they are not the next grand jury will have new business to at tend to. Under the Pettus law nothing is optional after primary is dete. mined upon.
 The Pebtus law brings to the people the protection of sworn officers at the ballot box, and it renders criminal an act that would be criminal if committed at the ballot box of the August election. The primary is in other words, an election under the law, and the statutes of the state very wisely and very properly guard 1t against trickery and crime as they do the final contest it. self. In a state that practically contains but one white mans party the primary far outranks in importance the day in August. It is the real election day, and the Pettus law must be applied to it in every instance, and party managers who, for reasons best known to themselves, avoid its terms are subject to indictment, and steps should be taken in every instance to bring them to trial and punishment. They should be taught that there are some things the pee- pie will not stand In connection with elec- tions. "It is not left" said MT. Pettus re- gently, ito the whim and caprice of every committee to say whether or not their primary election shall be held under the primary election law. The matter in this regard that alone remains within their dis cretion Is to decide whether or not their nominees shall be selected in primary election or otherwise Having once decided on the former plan the election must per- force be governed by the provisions of the law"
