Critical Staqe of Subsidy Bill,

During this week the fate of the sub- sidy steal will probably be determined If it is sidetracked this week to mae way for the appropriation bill, this will mean that it is not to be passed by this Congress. It would be considered bad politics to call an extra session in order to pass it, but there are very strong in- dications in the administration journals that the Cuban constitution and the Philippine situation will be utilized as a cover for a session in which the sub- sidy bill will be pushed to passage.
 Let no one think then that the footing of the treasury at the rate of $9,0O0,0O0 a year is not to go through. It certainly will, and the only question relates to the Congress that is to pass it. The men who are behind it dare not let it go over to next winter, because the period of another Congressional election will then be approaching, and the members of the House who desire reelection can not be trusted to support such bare faced raid upon the treasury.
 So the bill will either De passed this month, or in an extra session to be con vened probably next month. The bill will benefit not exceeding fifty men, but those fifty men were all subscribers to the Hanna campaign fund, and they are men who can be depended upon in the future. The Hanna campaign bag is the force behind the bill, and MT. Hanna , himself is bringing all his energies and all his patronage to bear upon the con- test. The opponents of the bill may talk it out of this Congress, but they do not expect to defeat it in mat way in an ex- tra session.

SALARIES IN GENERAL.

From the Springfield Republican.
 What is said to be the largest salary paid to a bank president in the United States has just been voted by the directors of the National Park bank of New Lork to Rich ard Delafield, it's president This is $40, 099 a year. He had been paid 250G0. In point of deposits the Park bank is the second largest in New York city, being surpassed blythe City bank with deposits of SIPS 000,- OOO against 64,OO0,O0o for the Park. Still the president of the City bank is credited with receiving but $25,00O. So far as known, the highest salary hitherto paid a New York bank president has been s25000, and this in only few cases. Many bank presi- dents there receive only $1O,G0o but the av- craze for the larger stronger institu- tions is said to be nearer $l5.000 to S20, ,000 The large New York trust companies, as rule, pay their presidents more than the national banks do, and salaries here some times go above s50,000. Even this figure looks small when compared with the sal aries drawn by the heads of some of the big life insurance companies, notably the New York Life and the Equitable-whose presidents are paid s1O0OOO each. The pres ident of the Mutual Life of New Lork is commonly credited with salary of $75, O0O Chauncey Depew Is given $10000O as chair man of the New York Central board of di- rectors, but this partakes of the character rather of an hororary pension than a sal ary, for Mir. Depew cannot be said to be engaged in active railroad management One cannot speak of these figures without being reminded of the fact that the judges of the United States Supreme Court the weightiest judicial tribunal in the world, are paid $l0,O00 and there is proposal be- fore Congres that these salaries be in creased to $15000.

MONEY IN RAISING CATS.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 The rearing of coon cats is coming in- dustry. Coon cats are worth today from $5 to $100 apiece and the supply does not begin to meet the demand Exceptional specimens have been known to fetch $200 even $500. At the present time all oe them come from Maine, simply for the req son that the breed is peculiar as yet to that State. Their popularity is such that the business of breeding them has been rapidly growing during the last few years in that part of the country, and one shipper not very far from Bar Harbor, exported in 1899 no fewer than 5000 of the animals.
 Strange to say, there are comparatively few people south or west of New England who know what coon cat is If you ask that question down in Maine" however, the citizens will seem surprised at your ignorance, and will explain to you, in condescendng way, that the creature in question is half raccoon-the descendant of "a cross between a coon and common cat" Coon cats have been recognized as d distinct breed in Maine for so long that the memory of the oldest inhabitant runs not back to their beginning. You will find sev- eral of them in almost any village in that part of the world.

A CLAIM FOR OFFICE.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 MT. Frank James, formerly a person of some eminence in the profession of train robbery and bank safe cracking, has a grievance. He says that he has faithfully carried out the agreement which he made with the Governor of Missouri years ago to abstain from those pursuits. Yet when he asked an endorsement of the years 1 have lived as peaceful and honest citizen in the form of a doorkeeper's place In the Missouri Legislature he did not get it. Hence he thinks that his abstention from the joys of holding up trains is not ap- preciated.
 Mir. James should comfort himself with the thought that there are some millions of people who never held up train in their lives, and also never have even though of being legislative doorkeepers. Perhaps that will not satisfy him. His theory of public selection seems to be that the man who has held a prominent position in the profession of robbery and gives it up to escape hanging deserves recognition for his self-denal.
 This is at least a novel claim. but when consider the claims or which offices have been distributed, including that con sulate at Matanzas, given to a temporarily famous Pennsylvanian, we are not quite certain that Mir. James losic does not average up pretty well with the rest

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Uniform Text Books.

"The Senate yesterday" says the Ral- eigh News and Observer, without speech in opposition and with only two or three dissenting votes, passed the Aycock bill for State adoption of school books. The bill received the almost unanimous support of the joint commit tee on education and will doubtless pass the House as it passed the Senate. The selection of the books for the public schools uniform in every county in the State, will be in the hands of competent men who have the confidence of the teachers, the patrons of the schools and the public. We have no doubt that they will do what is wise ana what Is right and the State VIII not go through an- other scandal such as county adoption breeds. And we also believe that the price of books to the children will be made cheaper"
 The commission provided for In the Aycock bill is to consist of five teachers, and this feature Is regarded as the best one in the bill. The State has had the county system of uniformity, and 1t neither cheapened school books nor gave the children better books, but it led to many scandals. and the State tired of it. State uniformity of the Ten nessee sort seems to be the better plan. At any rate Tennessee Is pleased with the operation of the plan she has adopt ed, while North Carolina makes haste to throw out the county plan. The county plan in this State would call for sixty six contracts, every one of which may lead to scandal, and even if 1t does not, it gives the State sixty-six sets of text books when one set would be all sufficient and altogether better in every respect.

Another Music Festival.

Birmingham, like its great English snamesake, has a reputation for musical culture, as well as a reputation for iron and steel industries. There is much real musical culture here. Indeed, no city of anything like It's size can boast of such a musical atmosphere as is found in Birmingham. It has had two grand fes- tivals, and is known throughout the country as the festival city of the south. No agency is so helpful or far reaching from the musical point of view as festival of high, artistic order, and the festival of last year and the year before would certainly have re- fected credit on any old city of the east. Having established this musical repu- tation it will never do to allow il to de- cline.
 Thus far no plans have been made for holding a festival this spring, but 1t is understood that Theodore Thomas has submitted proposition to the lead CT of the festival chorus for two or three concerts in Aprli or May in con- nection with the chorus. and that in or

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The old project of the annexation of Western Florida to Alabama, which has been agitated in a desultory way for the last twenty years, is again revived and is fast becoming a political issue The West ern Floridians, who feel that their interests are being sacrificed to the development of Eastern Florida, are eager for the change, and members of the Legislature are elect ed upon this issue. They want to wipe out the present boundary and give Alabama a clear coast on the gulf from Pensacola to the Apalachicola. Eastern Florida, how ever, is opposed to the scheme, although at one time the Legislature was disposed to accept a proposition made by Alabama to purchase the territory west of the Apa- lachicola river. The chief objection hith- erto raised has been the share of Floridas debt that Alabama was willing to assume. Alabama now expresses willingness to meet East Florida half way and to assume . proportionate share of the western indebt- edness, but East Florida does not yet show any willingness to give up its eight west

Mir. Weatherly and Lawmakinq.

Ut is known to me that James NJ Wealth. erly of Birmingham desires to be one of Jefferson County's delegates to the Ala bama constitutional convention, and I feel that for this fact to be known should be sufficient to secure MT Weatherly the nonl- ination," said a business man yesterday evening.
 MT. Weatherly is strong character, an intellectual force, a man learned in law and in the practical affairs of the public. and the peculiar bent of his mind to thor oughness of detail and general and wider scope would make his work especially good and desirable in framing the fundamental law. The time is now, if ever it was, when the people need strong and successful men those who are strong in their work and suc- cessful in its prosecution. It would be worse than criminal, it would be a grave blunder in polity to send any other class of men to the convention which shall frame the machinery of our poity by which the State shall run indefinitely.
 Such men must be impressed into serv- ice, and none other permitted to go. Men who have failed in the offices and affairs

Lieutenant Hobson's Case.

The letter addressed by Secretary of the Navy Long to Senator Morgan shows why Richmond P. Hobson has gone unrewarded in any manner what ever for his heroic services in Santiago Bay. The President, he says, cannot separate Hobson's case from the rest, nor can advise him to do so." In other words, Capt. Clark, Admiral Sampson and a thousand others must be reward ed when Lieutenant hobson is.
 Secretary Long is endeayoring to utilize the movement in favor or Rich mond P Hobson to secure for long list recognition of services and rewards for such services. This may be even hand ed justice, although not one of them took upon himself such a heroic task as Hobson did. No one believed he could come out of it alive. He did not him. self, perhaps, consider the risks to him. self. He was ordered to undertake the movement, ana he went straight to his task.
 The case is so exceptional it does not seem to be just to tie it up with naval sauabble, and with a large number whose services were excellent, but not exceptionally heroic. The truth is, Lieu tenant Hobson is suffering some from an exaggerated indiscretion and some from sectionalism. If ne had been a cit izen of Ohio or Illinois, his services would have been appreciated fully and properly long ago, but now long after the war with Spain has been ended he is told by the secretary of the navy that he must wait until all other war promotions in the navy are taken up.

Martial Marshall and Mayor.

q am betraying no confidence in rela ting that the present popular and busy bachelor Mayor of Birmingham once had the honor of being challenged to mortal combat by an actual descendant in consanguinity from Chief Justice John Marshall, whose day is this day being celebrated through out America" said an old friend of the Mayor last night

Respect for the dead and love for the living impel me to withhold all real names; but the facts are in the main that youngster of Marshall blood and mar tial spirit, being something jealous of the handsome man of money from Birming- ham, took violent dislike to him, and ap- preaching him in party one night picked a quarrel He who is now Mayor laughed in the youngsters face and chided him for his boisterousness, though there was really very little difference in the ages of the two men.

 Fair fair, meath ever radiant skies, Watched Ser by stars with tender eyes, Ripened By sunlight, fed by rain; Rarest of all earth's fields of grain: Famed by the breeze of minstrelsy, It lies, the field of Poesy. It smiles, it waves, through counties
 hours,
 Shut in by hedge of fragrant flowers. Above it sounds the wild birds note, While OCT it sweetest breezes float: And reapers good and glad and strong Go toiling in the field of Song. But I, my task is not to wield A scythe is such a heavenly field; From stubbly hillsides all the day I clear the briars and stones away But when the pensive twilight falls, I wander where my fancy calls, And glean, where others passed along As reapers in the field of Song. ssao, I have no blade to touch such wheat; I tread with slow and clumsy feet. And yet, content and glad am With scattered grains that shining lie. I walk the ground which seems to me The Eden land of earth to be, I finger late. tarry long,
