FACTS ABOUT SUPREME COURT.
From the Savannah News.

From the 6dNanIidH NSWS.
 Hon. Wm. H. Fleming, the representa- tive of the Tenth Georgia district in Con gress, spent Monday in the city and called at the Daily News office to answer some inquiries addressed to him several days ago. In the course of conversation he made some interesting remarks on the de- cisions of the Supreme Court. He looks at them from a new point of view.
 Have you ever thought of some of the peculiar coincidences of good luck that have attended the Republican party in re- cent years in connection with the Supreme Court?" said MT. Fleming.
 Tn three great crises which have oc- cured since the war where the Supreme Court was directly concerned. the Repub- lican party has invariably carrid its point by one majority and has never wasted any of it's resources in getting O. larger ma jority than one.
 First. there was the electoral com mission, under which Tilden was defraud- decision was in favor of the Republican party by one majority-all 1t needed.
 Next there was the income tax decis- ion, in which the Republican party found 1t necessary to limit the power of Con- gress under the constitution, and it sue ceeded in revising the law that had stood for a hundred years. and did 1t by one ma jority-ail 1t needed.
 'Then again there was the Porto Rican tax cases, in which the Republican party found 1t necessary to enlarge the powers of Congress under the constitution. and it succeeded in reversing the accepted principles of law that had stood for hundred years. and 1t did it by one ma jority of the court-ail 1t needed.
 Every good citizen is impeHed to rive the court the fullest credit for sincerity and honesty and these three instances of one majority will no doubt be accepted by the public as mere coincidences. But venture the assertion that if the Repuh- lican party continues to get many more such critical decisions by one majority, the average American mind will come to the conclusion that it is not altogether due to luck"

THE PROTECTIONISTS ARE
 AFTER BABCOCK'S SCAIP
BY ALBERT HALsTEAD.

Washington, June 14.-(Special)-1t seems very likely now that pressure of no small kind will be brought to bear upon Colonel Henderson, Speaker of the Fifty sixth Congress, to prevent the reappoint- ment of Representative Babcock as a member of the Ways and Means Commit tee This will be done by the protection ists who seem to become more resentful because MT. Babceck started the agitation for removing duties from many products of steel and iron on the ground that th,y no longer require protection. It does not at present seem probable that Colonel Henderson will accede to this request To be sure. he has no opposition for re-elec- ton as speaker and largely because no strong faction is prepared to push another candidate. but he will have to be care full not to offend the Republicans who think as MT. Babcock does. He can tell the portectionists that they have no cause for worry inasmuch as MT. Babcock Is the last Republican member on the committee and that even if the Democratic members would join with him he could not secure a favorable report on his bill.
 It is charged by the protectionist Re- publicans that MT. Babcock is not sin cere in his proposition to amend the tar If. They say that during the late Con gress he had an opportunity as member of the ways and means committee to ask vote on his bill, and also to vote on the question, but that he dodged. How ever that may be. there have been sus- picions that the Wisconsin representative is not as sincere as he might seem to be, in his proposition to ''get even" with the trusts by removing duties on foreign ar ticles similar to those they manufac- ture.
 It is rather amusing to note the way in which the friends of the several men who are regarded as Presidential possi- bilities are careful to refrain from stat ing frankly that their favorites are cul- tivating the "Presdential bee" They all fear that "boom' would be seriously

Governor JeIks as a Youth.

My first meeting with Governor Jelks was on a train leaving Montgomery for Birmingham twenty-one years ago. and I have very distinct recollection of the circumstances,' said an old newspaper hand.
 ''The Press Association of Alabama was on the train and Jelks and I were very young members of that distinguished or ganization. My first quick impression was that he was too sedate and sober for so youthful a man and my second thought was to envy him for the length and silki ness of his blonde and dropping mustache. Likewise I envied him for his height and evident suppleness. He was good to look upon then, as he is yet, in faith!
 ''We had heard of one another and said so, and thereupon we complimented each the other. Jelks was then associated with F. II. Cabaniss, now his brother-in-law and a leader of the Birmingham bar. and D. F. Mccall in conducting the Union Springs Herald, and had already made a good reputation. He and I were both going for the first time to a meeting of the Press Association. I saw much of him on the trip and was impressed by his 
 open and frank manliness and his bright mind, which was irresistibly inclined to humor, a saving grace in any mans life.
 "on the train, between Montgomery and Calera, Jelks boiled the editors as to their preference for the Democratic nominee for President that year-1sS0 As I recall the figures, fl were for Tilden, 15 for Hancock, for Bayard, and the others scattering
 ".Shall you telegraph the figures to the New York 'Herald? I asked.
 "'No; I shall save them for a better paper-the Union Springs Herald,' re- piled the editor who was one day to be Governor of Alabama.
 How far was this Governorship from our thoughts that far-off day! Yet, it all seems as if of yesterday"

Heeaars Hurtful to Birmingham.

''The general complaint against so many beggars in the streets of Birmingham Is clearly well-founded, for I have never seen so many persistent, as well as gross ly repulsive. beggars in any other town south of Baltimore" said visiting news paper man yesterday
 These beggars. Haunting their filthiness and their repulsive physical condition in even the Hobbies of fashionable hotels. give to visitors painful. if not a sicken- ing, impression of Birmingham.
 Doubtless the beggars have kept a great deal of outside capital from being invested in your city. Visitors know that Birmingham is exceedingly prosperous Anybody can discover that after being in the town a quarter of an hour. Therefore the presence of disgusting beggars must be a fault of your city or county govern ment. and if your local government fail in one direction. why should it not fall in others? That Is a question that en- frightened visitors are most apt to ask, and 1t is bound to have its effect upon people who come to Birmingham looking for profitable investment of their capital
 Thus the notorious, impertinent ob- trusive, and repulsive begging witnessed all the time in the streets of Birmingham is really q serious matter for your peo- pie. judged from purely business view point. understand that you have model almshouse and that 1t not half flied. The inference Is plain. Your local government Is too careless and indiffer- ent to look after the city's interests in this particular. Nobody will deny that the hideously repulsive beggars one sees in the streets of rich Birmingham are very hurtfu to the city.

F0riy.four 10 One.

Every State in the Union provides an ample State school fund, and every State shows in it's laws an inclination to swell this fund to the largest feasi- ble proportion. A careful examination of the digest of public school laws, published by the United States bureau of education, shows that every State, except Alabama, has provisions in its laws for supplementary taxation on counties or school districts, or both. The only difference in the respect of
 local taxation for schools among the States, outside of Alabama, relates to the authority in the unit of govern ment. In some local taxation is en- forced; in others it is optional. The following list includes the names of the States that require the unit of civil government to levy taxes in aid of

Learning for Attorney.eeneraIs.


 Former Governor Jones, who is del- egate in the constitutional convention, is reported as saying in debate yesterday that 1t was a reflection on the people of Alabama to suppose they would elect as attorney-general a man who did not know any law" remarked a public man last night
 "That is not argument--it is begging the question. Governor Jones' remark was called forth by an amendment of- fered by Delegate Jones of Bibb to the effect that the attorney-general should be learned in the law The Bibb man was right. Haven't there been elected any attorney generals who were not learned in the law? May not a man not so learned be elected next year or any year? What do the people of Alabama as a whole know of legal learning? How can they judge of any mans qualifications? 'Uh1lt and improper men have been elected no doubt. to every old-established office in America, from the Presidency down to beat constable in Governor Jones' own county. MT. Jones of Bibb de- manded that the attorney-general be learned in the law. Governor Jones con- fused this by the phrase any law, and the Blob delegates admirable amendment was defeated. It Is a pity"

 These States authorize counties or districts to levy at their discretion local taxes for school purposes: New Hampshire, New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Indiana, Illinois. Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana. California.
 Twenty-nine States require the unit of civil government to levy local school taxes; sixteen authorize the unit to levy local school taxes. and one State is a stranger altogether to local taxa. tion for school purposes.
 If it will pay Alabama to stand alone in this matter throughout this century if it means prdgress and productive ness and general advancement, the fortyfour stubborn States are wasting money upon schools. It is simply a question as to which has adopted the better policy--the forty-four or the one This question is up to the constitu- tional convention.
