They put no limit upon the right to spend their money when and where and in what quantities best pleased them from time to time. So it is in all progressive States. So it is in all States perhaps a half dozen that have not kept step in the march of events.
 Limited taxation is humbug. It is no more necessary in this State than it is in Louisiana, or any other State. It is never helpful, and in some cases it is absolutely harmful. It is clog upon progress. It stands. in the way of the public health oftendmes and oftentimes in the way of public education. In the former case it often prevents damage, and in the latter case Il often prevents the building of needed school buildings. It is a mossbaek institution.
 The AgeHerald wholly agrees with the Hot Blast to limits upon the power to create debts by issuing bonds or other forms of credit. Let that kind of work be restricted to the utmost reasonable limits DUt dS ioiiS dS HOl d SiuSle tdSt Ol ullNiSt action in actual on-the-spot taxation can be ticed, after centurys experience in a wide country, let it be free ana open. Give the people a chance to make the most of their State, provided they pay as they go. This is the sense of the situation. A tax limit is a piece of humbuggery, for the neonle af trollers of their own persons.

This is the real situation. It is not quite so brilliant as that of 1899. but it isI much better than that of lSes, or of the previous years back at least to 1893
 With the world for a market there is no reason why any furnace in this district should be blown out or even banked. Every load of cotton on board a ship in Southern ports should have load of iron under 1t, and nos doubt such will be the case. Instead of railroad rates standing in the way, the truth seems to be a car fam inc is much more likely to be the trouble in the way. There is much talk about the low price, but the truth is, iron is bringing a good price. It is worth 50 per cent more at least than it was in 1898, and there is really no reason why reasonable living railroad rates should not be levied upon it. When it falls below present prices the question may be charged, but at pres ent rates and prices would seem to be in accord with each other.

From Youths Companion.
 The element of exaggeration which enters largely into all characteristic American hu- nor finds full play in the opportunities af- forded by Presidential campaign. Every public man has some foible which can be made to furnish food for mirth. Every pub lie policy is capable of being grotesquely stated by a keen critic. It is peculiarity of Americans that they not only enjoy laughing at others, but they do not mind being made to laugh at themselves.
 But to be effective in politics and to com- mend itself to the people humor must be good-natured. Humor which carries with it the sting of malice overreaches itself. The American sense of fair play revolts against misrepresentAtions of sentiment or attacks upon character, even when conveyed in 8 cartoon or a jest; and politicians have learned that they do not pay. But there is a kind of humor merry and good-tem- pered that even the objects of 1t cannot choose but Join in the laugh which it arouses; and of such humor we can hardly have too much, as a relief to the strenuous ness of our long Presidential campaign.

PATHS STUNNING COSTUMES

From the Boston Herald.
 This is the way the Baroness Adelina Pat ti Cederstrom was arrayed when she sang at charity concert in Wales recently, &C., cording to an eyewitness of the scene: ''The Baroness wore very handsome dress of cream lace upon a pink silk fountia- tion, with a pink chiffon picture hat. In her ears were the most gorgeous studs, consisting each of one large pearl, sur- rounded by briliants. From her left breast was suspended the order presented to her by the grandfather of the present Emperor of Russia, and which Is possessed by no other woman vocalist" The order is called "Zartliche," and attached to it is the rib- bon of St. Andre. She sang seven songs, in- cluding I'll Bacio," Coming Thro' the Rye,' and of course, Home, Sweet Home" She is the same little musicbox to- day as she was in the beginning, or it would be impossible for her to remain the ever youthful Patti, singing with inimitable art, though close on to 60 years. That's it. Art the art of using her voice; for, no matter how marvellous that voice, if she had not learned how to use it, it would have gone long since. But while Patti can open her mouth her singing will be all right.

No Tax Limit is Needed,

In failing to mention a single case of on the nall in forty-fve States and four territories, the Anniston Hot Blast vir- tually confesses that no such case is re- corded. It is very voluble as to the state Of public sentiment, but 1t offers no case to back up its statement that limited tax ation is desirable in this State. When the organic law they left taxation wide open.

A GOOD INVESTMENT
From the Ocala Banner.

From the Ocala Banner.
 Mrs. r. M. Rust is the name of a busi- ness woman who halls from New York City. She was in Florida some year ago when Dunnellon first sprung into existence and bought what was thought was Dunns bluff, the beautiful tract of land overlook ing the confluence of the Blue Springs run and the Withlacoochee river. IL turned out, however, that her lot was several blocks away from the bluff, and Mrs. Rust felt very much disappointed But she has been considerably modified since. Soon after her purchase, Colonel Albertus Vogt made his wonderful phosphate discovery near his place, and the rock was discovered ill quan- titles on Mrs. Rust's forty acres. She wise ly leased it on royalties, and while on vis- it to Ocala the other day said that from it sine had already placed in the bank $So- 800. How is that for $50 investment?

Did Not Give the Right Accent

In one of the public schools of Scotland six new pupils had been enrolled on the infants register one morning, relates the Chicago News. The infant mistress, on looking over the roll, called the six names and asked these children to come to her desk. Only five arranged themselves on the floor, and after succeeding in indenti- flying each with his name, she found Rich- ard Brown was the one not responded to.
 Richard Brown, come here.''
 No one moved. "Richard Brown again was vociferated by the mistress. No such person evidently was among the number of two hundred children.
 "Sit straight up and let me look at all your faces. she said
 On detecting a strange little one among the number she somewhat decidedly saidi Little man, your name is Richard Brown, is it not?"
 No replied the child. Dicky Brown a z#-

There was slight fall of rain and some lightning, after which the tenn perature fell rapidly. At o'clock was ex- perienced the most pleasant degree of cool ness enjoyed in Birmingham in two months. This condition prevailed throughout the night. There was occasional very light rain fall, considerable lightning, and a fair north northwesterly breeze.

The Waitress Was Appreciative

Bret Harte has been so long resident of Great Britain that the days of his early fame, when he was new writer and when from time to time he appeared on American lecture platforms, seem very far away, says the Saturday Evening Post He still loves to tell anecdotes of those early days, and among his stories is one of the time that he lectured at the famous New England town of Concord, Mass.
 On the morning following his lecture he went down into the diningroom of the inn, with his mind filled with thoughts of the men who had made the name of Con cord so widely famous.
 He looked dreamily from the window. fancying Hawthorne and Emerson and Thoreau and Aicott as they once paced along that vii ne street. He was SD wrapped up in thoughts oi the past that he forgot the present, and did not notice that a prim young woman waiter was standing patiently beside him.
 When she saw that at length she was observed, she rattied on, swiftly and without break between any of the worlds,

Iron Rates and Iron Prices.

The iron situation in this district is i'm proving True, the rate on export iron to the sea has been raised over the rate of 1898, but so has the price of iron. Iron is today worth at least four dollars a, ton more than it was in 1898, and the railroad Mobile s1.50 a ton. In 1898 it was SI a ton The product can afford to pay the in creased rate to the sea; and this fact IS attested by tho heavy bookings of export iron The accumulation in the furnace yards is due, not to the railroad rates to the sea- but to the want of ship-room, and the lack of ship-room will exist at least until export cotton begins to be freely moved.
 The rate to Cincinnati need not be dis cussed, because Alabama iron should never ket. Alabama iron should be largely con- sumed at home or in the cotton states, and any surplus should be exported. The rates from this district 10 tho sea have not been accurately stated. To the sea they are per ton of 226s pounds, as follows:
 To New Orleans..... .......... .........s1 30 To Mobile........ ....... ....... 1.5l To Brunswick or Charleston. ....., 2J To Norfolk....... ..... ...... ........... 2.7l To Savannah....... ....... ............. 2.25
 These rates include port charges for transfer from car to vessel. These rates are ill other words the cost from furnace to and on board ship.
 It is idle to say that iron which is bring ing from four to five dollars more thar iron commanded in 1S9S cannot pay such rates It can, and it wili and export ship ,nents will be limited to ship-room only.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
A Sample of Ills Own moderation

Senator Eugene Hale of Maine told re- gently with amused chagrin of a passage at arms he had with MT Wu, the Chinese Minister, relates the New York Tribune. The treatment of the missionaries in the Far East was under discussion, and the Senator had trotted out a number of in- stances of maltreatment, and even worse that the missionaries had met at the hands of their Eastern brethren. The Senator then pointed out to the Minister that this was hardly the way in which the mission ary should be received, and that liberty of faith should be ac><-ded their subjects by Eastern rulers. All through this homily the Chinese Minister had grinned sympa- thetically but a trile derisively ''Liberty of religious thought, eh?" Wu inquired tentatively, when the chance came; you not always give liberty of religious thought in this country; you sometimes persecute the missionary in these great United States, l think?' To this, needless to say. the junior Senator from the Pine Tree State interposed 8 vigorous denial.
 No, you never do such things here, never You never persecute the poor mis- sionary! You are too high-minded You have too much freedom of thought for that And here Wu's derisive smile grew diabolical. How about that Levantine af- fair?"
 'Levantine affair."" was the puzzled in- quiry.
 "Yes, Levantine affair; affair at Leyant What did you do there?"
 And then the Senator suddenly remem- bered the fate of Mormon missionary at Levant, Me. The keen Celestial eye of the Chinese Minister saw the look of under standing in Senator Hale's eye, and he drove the nail home.
 What did you do with that Mormon missionary at Levant, eh? You gave him what is called tar and feathers; is it not SOP" But the Senator had no response at hand.

New York is easily the first city in the land, its commercial and financial metrop- olis; Chicago holds second place, and Phil adelphia third place. The fourth place may be St. Louis, but that point cannot be de- cided until the populat ton of Boston is re- ported. The three towns, St. Louis, Balti more and Boston, among them fourth, fifth and sixth places. The seventh place is Cleveland unless San Francisco secures 1t, which is not probable New Orleans is in turn outranked by Cleveland, Buffalo and Cincinnati.
 The growth of the cities of the country is just about 30 per cent, but the country as per cent. Alabama's growth may be esti- mated at that percentage. That population of the State stood in 1890 at 1513,017. and it will stand this year at about 1,S0O,OOO. It is the belief that the new Congressional ratio or basis of apportionment will be 2OO,- 900, and this State would under such a ratio simply hold her own. She would continue to send nine members to Con- gross, and eleven electors to Montgomery Any expectations of a gain in Alabama be- yond the average of the entire country will prove disappointments
 As next to no immigration flows into this State, gain of 20 per cent. should be con- sidered encoura ging aid satisfactory. The percentage of growth in Alabama will ex- ceed doubtless that of any other cotton State east of Texas, and this result will be due in part to lumber, but still more to iron and coal. The minerals of the State will promote its growth much more in the coming decade than they have in the one just ended, especially if the Government speedily gives this section the benefit of six feet of water in the Warrior all the year round.

THE LADY POET OF THE ROCKIES

From the Denver Evening Post. Miss Popsle McSwat of Lost Creek senda in this graphic word picture of Morning on a Ranch:" The sun-lips kiss the smiling earth with lives impetuosity, The Bubbling waters at my feet flow on with merry bub, The brindle calf scarce three days old with wonderful precoeity Corrals its mamma 'gainst a rock to gei its morning grub. The breezes monkey with the pines with rude familiarity,
 And likewise monkey with the hair friz- zled out yestere-en, f The old hen scratches up a worm, and, moved by Christian charity, Calls up the chickens which she thinks are yet too young to wean. The cattle fill the morning air with rud6 soprano bellowings, 4 e. The old horse at the picket rope in rest less manner tugs, And down the sinuous old creek the mea, dow lark with yellow wings Hops through the mazes of the grass i1 search of hapless bugs. An. 'tis a scene to win the poets thought from earthly things att And land them in the realm where follsj go visiting on wings!

It Told of the Nightingale

''The secret of true art" said the great French painter Millet, ''is to paint what one does not sec" On one occasion, says the Youths Companion, he put before a friend a canvas he had just finished. .'What does that tell you?' he asked.
 It was only the edge of a country lane, with few dandelions and four~o'clocks growing amid the grass. The friend, who was also an artist, stood for some mo- ments silent before this simple scene. Pres ently he said:
 ''I don't know what see. but I hear tho nightingale!'
 And it was in truth, the song of tho nightingale that Millet had painted.

A Wise Committee.

The State Democratic Executive Com mittee last night pursued the only fair course open to it, by nullifying the decision of the Fifth District Committee in setting aside the prima facie rights of delegates to the Congressional convention which will assemble at Goodwater today. The State Committee decided that the convention shall directly settle the questions at issue; and thus is upheld a principle as old as parliamentary government and political caucusing in this country-that delibera- tive body is and shall be the only judge of the qualification of it's members.
 The rulings of the Fifth District Com mittee regarding certain counties were ar- bitrary and perhaps unprecedented, and thereby the Democratic party of Alabama became interested, and, in a measure in- volved. It was not possible for the State committee, with but day at its command, to go into the details of numerous beat meetings primaries; nor was it needful The Goodwater convention may do what it like, so long as it does nothing out rageous against common party law and right.
 The State Committee has done it's duty, and the great party of which it is the high court of appeal will commend 1t cor dally. It remains now for the district convention to discharge it's full duty to all Democrats. If corruption be proved let corruption be punished. Let common jus tice prevail, whoever may profit or suffer
