 The act Is excellent in every respect and Col. Bulger deserves the thanks of the State for the labor and thought expended upon 1t. But let him not think, because it would cut the prices of school books down one-half at least thus relieving the people of grievous taxation and robbery-let him not think his bill will go through easily and readily. It will be opposed by the book trust, and the favorite method of the book trust in other States has consisted in indue- ing leading teachers to oppose it on one ground or another. The real ground of the opposition of such teachers is more easily imagined than proven.

HANNA pIcTAToRIAL.

Washington Correspondent Pittsburg Post.
 Director General of Legislation is new title that has been conferred by felloow sem ators on Marcus A. Hanna, of Ohio, with out his knowledge or consent. The demo- crats didn't do 1t, either, but the repub- licans. timers on the republican side, the men who quietly direct or think they direct legislation, resented the tone which Hanna took before tine session began in dis cussing in interviews the work which would have to be accomplished before the session ended They disliked especially his posi- tive declarations that the ship subsidy bill would have to be enacted into law. This they regarded as great presumption on tine part of Hanna, who, though he might be theboggest man in the republican party organization, is after all only new conner in the senate, and ought, therefore, in the judgment of the old-timers, to be modest in his declarations as to what that august body would or should do.
 Since the session began the attitude of the feeling of his more experienced col the Ohio senator has not tended to soothe the feelings of his more experienced col leagues He has, it is said, insisted with characteristic bluntness in the informal

A NEW STATE AND A NEW CAPITOL

From the Fort Payne Times.
 We notice that Haralson and Spears vote together on most of the important bills that come up at Montgomery. We further notice that they get left every time What does this indicate? Among other things it shows that Spears can't be such bad man after all, or that Haralson is very naugh- ty boy. But their getting left every time, what does this mean? It means among other things that the interests of northern and southern Alabama are very contrary and that South Alabama is in the saddle and is riding north Alabama with whip and spur. What is a remedy for this? How would new State do?
 There is Virginia and West Virginia. How would Alabama and South Alabama sound? Birmingham would make a goos capital and ought to be the capital of Ala bama as at present arranged. It is the capital in reality anyhow. It is the center of everything that goes to make the St,.- truly great and prosperous If Montgom- cry don't hurry up and get a decent capitol building the representatives of northern Alabama won't attend the sessions of the Legislature there much longer anyway.

IE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Greater Birmingham.

The Age-Herald has long urged that a beginning be made at once towards the consolidation of Jones valley. It is none too early. Each biennial Legislature should add some territory to the city, and in that way assimilation could go on harmonious ly up to the census of 1910, when Birming ham would stand out as it actually exists to the wonder of an astonished world. To put off annexation to the last Legislature of the decade is to put 1t off altogether, to the injury of every interest in the district.
 It is now proposed to annex Elyton, Smithfield and North Birmingham. If Avondale were added this would be a req sonable geographical proposition Avondale property would be benefited by annexa- ton; Ayondale children could attend the High School, and Avondale's sewers and health would be promoted in every possible manner. The general health of all de- mands this, for Birmingham cannot be healthy if Avondale be unhealthy The two are one in all except law and no man who loves Jones valley and desires it's prosper ity can reasonably object to the annexation of Avondale.
 The addition of Avondale, together with Elyton, Smithfield and North Birmingham, would give the city room to grow in until the meeting of the Legislature two years hence. With these additions there would be no occasion for q commuter to go be- yond the bounds of the city. It would be a good beginning of movement that should have been begun ten years before. To take in Elyton, Smithfield and North Birming- ham alone would be an injustice to Avon dale, which is perhaps the most desirable and promising nearby suburb.

Libraries Freely Offered.

MT. Carnegie gave Atlanta s125.0 .00O with which to build a public library and he is about to give Chattanooga $1OO,0O0 for similar purpose Doubtless he would treat Birmingham likewise. But Mr. Carnegie is a thoughtful man, and he makes each town do it's share of giving. He recently said that he did not deserve praise for what he had given, but he did deserve praise for what he had induced others to give.
 He says to a town, q will give a sum with which to erect library building if you
 people will give ten per cent a year of that sum towards the support and growth of that housed library, all for your own use" He holds that a community that will not support and extend a library will not appreciate or properly use one, and he is eminenty correct in his conclusions. In an- swer to a questio from Chattanooga he said he would not require a city to provide a fund for any length of time but would be willing to trust to the town and interest of a community to look after a library after it had once been established.
 city without a public library, free to all, will soon be in the Timbuctoo class, al- though for that matter Timbuctoo may itself be well provided in that respect. The real question is does Birmingham want a fine public library on the condition that it will support it? The condition does not seem to be very unjust or wicked. As con- stitutional convention is about to meet, tilere is a way if there is will At present perhaps there is no way, whether there be d will or not But If the people of this town want a library on MT Carnegie's generous terms they should so say when they elect delegates to the constitutional convention.

NED BRACE HAS A WORD TO SAY ABOUT
 AFFAIRS OF A FOREIGN AND LOCAL NATURE

I was in Washington last week and heard much about the prospects of the passage Of the Nicaragua canal bill The Senate has been giving all of its time to the Hay- Pauneefote treaty and has amended that treaty in order that the United States may have the full power and right to own, con- trol and defend the canal in time of war. The details of this treaty have caused quite a contest in the Senate and the Senate has overruled the action of the President and his secretary of state, John Hay. There has been much bitterness displayed in the discussion of this matter and the advocates of the Nicaragua canal very much fear that it will lead to the failure of the ca- nal bill to pass at this session of Congress. I do not mean that the bill will be voted down but that it will probably be sidetrack- ed in such manner that no definite action can be taken until the next session of Con- gress. a year hence. The transcontinental railroads are represented by a shrewd and diplomatic lobby and they are throwing all manner of obstacles in the way of the passage of the Nicaragua canal bill.
 Speaking of legislation, the Alabama Legislature has passed the bill providing Tor constitutional convention. Of course, the people vote whether or not they shall have this convention, and the people are to elect the delegates thereto There is no doubt but that the convention will be held, and it is the duty of each citizen to vote for the very best and ablest men In the State of Alabama to represent him in the convention. Alabama wants and needs a constitution sufficiently broad and lib- eral to make 1t the greatest state of the South, of not of this country. Such con- stitution can be drafted only by the ablest and highest type of men.

No such human reptile should be suffered to dwell amongst men and women.

 Yet he said he meant you well, my be- loved, that friend who wronged you, who las saddened and embittered your days by giving you the kiss of betrayal, and you shall not fall toward his low descending scale by bearing him a hated figure fmaged in your own faithful heart. You need not accept his protest of well-meaning; but know you it is not given to you to sit in cold and unerring judgment. In his soul, wllfully wicked or merely foolish he car ries for ever his own court of justice, him self his accuser, his jury and his judge, and that court may never stand adjourned, shall not take recess, until time is come for hearing the last appeal of all.

Each time the subsidy bill has comeup for debate he has in way taken full charge of the game on the floor. He preempts a seat cvlose to the senator who is making the leading speech of the day on the bill and as- sumes an unmistakable air of guardianship if not proprietorship, that is amusing to the galleries, but aggravating to certain of his colleagues But Uncle Mark doesn't troub- le himself about how it looks He isn't built that way He knows he wants the bill passed, and he doesn't know any substan- tial reason why he should conceal the fact. So there he sits, serenely self-possessed frankly "rooting" for the bill, and looking to the life the role some of his colleagues have ironically assigned him, that of direc- tor general of legislation.

 There Is nothing more like to Fate than the working of the tschinn. Were Peter the Great himself to come back to life he could not stand in its way. The Czar does endless desk work, holds long conferences with his ministers. and is a patient and conscientious reader of their reports. He begins to lead a too sedentary life. Still less than his father does he ask for the assistance of other members of the impe- rial family.
 Alexander IT, the most amiable of men, followed an opposite course, and had cause to regret it deeply. His brothers, who di- rected the admiralty and great military corps, were fastened upon by peculators and intriguers of all sorts. As Imperial Princes they practically enjoyed impunity. The Czar's uncles fill great situa tions apart from their immortal rank; but they seem to feel they should stand at a distance from the sovereign.

Let All Register At Once.

Only four more days remain in which the Democratic voter can register his name, and If he does not register he cannot vote in the primaries of December S1. These primaries are the real city election, and it is not at all probable that any opposition ticket will be presented in May.
 The Democrat who desires to have fore see that his name is placed on the registry list of his ward in the next four days. There is nothing elastic about his regulation. Registration is condition neglects to register himself is the man who bids the city to take care of itself, who evades his plain duty, and puts upon his neighbors his own public load. He wrongs both his town and his neighbor.
 There are very many questions at stake, and the presence at the polls of the inde- pendent thinker, who is not in politics for what there is in it, who considers the good of the community first, is the man who is wanted at the registratio stands and at the polls The professional politician needs no urging in this respect, but the independ- ent voter does, for he is often as indiffer- ent as he is independent. Let him register then tomorrow before he takes up the other pressing duties of the day. Let him remind his still more indifferent neighbors of their public duties also. A full registration means a result the last day of the month that no citizen will be ashamed of Special interests at work, but the gen. eral good goes uncared for unless every body registers.

A WILD ROSE.

By Alfred Austin. The first wild rose in wayside hedge, This year I wandering see, l pluck and send it as a pledge, My own Wild Rose, to thee.s And when my gaze first met thy gaze We were knee-deep in June: The nights were only dreamier' days, And all the hours in tune. I found thee, like the eglantine,
 Sweet, simple, and apart; And, from the hour, thy smile hath beel The flower that scents my heart And, ever since, when tendrils grace Young copse or weathered bale With rosebuds, straight I see thy face, And gaze into thy soul. A natural bud of love, thou art,
 When gazing down, I view Deep hidden in thy fragrant heart, A drop of heavenly dew. Go, wild rose, to my Wild Rose dear; Bid her come, swift and soon. O would that she were always he-c, It then were always June.
