County Systems of Schools,

From some of the backwod coun- ties of the State comes demand that all State school supervision be abol- ished, and in It's place be substituted county control pure and simple, uncon- trolled and unlimited. Under this plan a county would take It's share of the public schol fund. and do as it pleases with it afterwards.
 Theese counties do not want super vision of State nature, no matter how intelligent it may be. nor how much experience in all the. other States shows that State supervision is needful. These counties propose to have teachers of their own choosing without regard to State certificate, and 1t is safe to assume that some at least of the teachers would be as densely ignorant as some of the coun- ty superintendents notoriously are. The fact is, the average county super intendent is all the answer that this demand for the county system of pub lie schools needs.
 If St. Clair county furnished all the school money appropriated to 1t by the State, the advocates of a county plan would have a better cause. Part of that money is drawn from Jefferson and other heavy tax-paying counties, and Jefferson and other counties like it have right to a voice in the expen- diture of that money. That money is paid in to furnish the best possible public education 1t will buy. The best possible schools cannot be obtain ed by having sixty-six school systems in hte State instead of one. One sys- tenn can furnish better teachers, bet ter supervision, better inspiration to high school work, cheaper books. and more progress in all directions. The county system means weakness, ineffi- ciency and degeneration, except in a few populous localities. No State has it, and Alabama will not introduce it at the beck and call of three or four lockwood counties.

enulish Export Tax on Coal.

The export tax of one shilling. or twenty cents. a ton has been laid on English coal. This tax together with the increasing cost of working very deep mines, will surely decrease Eng fish shipments to other countries. It will probably drive English coal out of the Americas. And there are Eng lishmen who desire just such a result. These men say that England can no longer afford, to part with it's limited supply of fuel. the basis of all its in- dustriai activity in this age of steam power. MT. Carnegie looks at the English situation in this light. and it is more than probable that the govern ment, needing more revenue. took a similar view. The government pro- poses to collect more revenue in the immediate time, while it puts an end later on to coal shipments. Great Britain at any rate has no coal that 1t can afford to part with.
 This is Alabama's opportunity. Alabama coal Is nearer the sea than any other American coal, and If the authorities at Washington are alert and we'll informed and fair they will open without delay the Warrior. If the Warrior had today six-foot year round channel in it. American coal would quickly supplant British coal in the West Indies, and in all the Ameri. cas- to the south of us. This cannot be done until the Warrior is opened, any every part of the country should be interested In this extention of our export trade. An attempt to favor the coals of other sections of the country should not be made, because they can not be carried to the Gulf at rates that will drive out British coals. Ala. bama coal from Warrior barges can do it. The more expensive coal should not be favored. The coal that can be laid down at the Gulf at the lowest prices is the coal that can secure trade In the countries and islands near or south of the Gulf.

have grown almost ugly over it They and the communities upon which they depend are not by any means ready for . revolution. in the fuel business. They assert by day and pray by night that the wonderful reports from Texas may be false, false. In the meantime the oil is here sent heavsnward from apertures in the earth which the amazed owners of tho Eushers can not close or control.
 Texas has the fuel. as The Age-Herald allows, but that is not all. Texas also has plenty to cook with 1t, to manufac- ture with 1t. to haul with 1t. One main advantage, sure to fall to this state as a result of the discovery of an abundance of oil. is the chance to become a leader of manufacturing states. This change comes at the right time and in the right way. It touches not only the fuel in- terest in Pennsylvania and in the East. but 1t touches the vast iron mills and other mills which have grown up chiefly as results of the convenient fuel supplies with which Texas Is now about ready to compete.'
 If the esteemed News refers to the furnaces and mills of this district, 1t surely is counting chickens that will never be matched. oil is good fuel in fireboxes, but in furnaces 1t refuses to be efficient. It will not dislodge a pound of coke, and where the blast furnaces are there the steel mills will be found, and also the large consumers of steel
 Texas may be able to do considera- ble manufacturing through the use of oil as fuel, but men will hesitate to build expensive mills based on such fuel, for oil fields are proverbially short-lived No mill of high cost will be built upon any such expectation; but mills that can use coal in the ab- sence of oil will be built. and Texas will thus gain some strength in manu- featuring. But she will never have any blast furnaces or steel mills even if she has a gusher on every square mile of her vast territory.

GRASS.

By James J. Ingalls,.
 Grass Is the forgiveness of nsture-her constant benediction. Fields trampled with battle. saturated with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grass, and carnage Is forgot ten. Streets abandoned by traffic become srass-grown like rural lanes, and are ob- liberated. Forests decay, harvests per- tsh, flowers vanish, but grass is immor- tai Beleagured by the sullen hosts of winter, 1t withdraws into the impregna- ble fortress of its subterranean vitality, and emerges upon the first solicitation of spring. sown by the winds, by the wan dering birds. propagated by the subtle horticulture, of the clements which are It's ministers and servants, 1t softens the rude outline of the world. It's tenacious fibers hold the earth in its place, and prevent It's soluble components from washing into tho wasting sea- It invades the solitude of deserts, climbs the inac- cessible slopes and forbidden pinnacles of mountains. modines climates, and deter mines the history character and destiny of nations. Obtrusive and patient, it has immortal vigor and aggression. Banished from the thoroughfare and the field, 1t bides its time to return. and when vigi- lance Is relaxed, or the dynasty has per- ished. 1t silently resumes the throne from which 1t was expelled, but which it never abdfcates. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the sensts with fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more en- oh nffnU than ha yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet should the harvest fail for a single year, famine would depopulate the world.

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Kensit Is sort of ecclesiastical Carrie Nation. He is London bookseller who has taken upon himself the mission of upholding Protestantism in the Church of England by protesting. publicly and loudly against whatever he does not ap, prove. For two or three years he has been going about from church to church interrupting the services. and English law Is so very careful of personal liberty that there seems to be no way to stop him.
 He turned up as usual at the legal ceremonies attending the proclamation oi the new Bishop of London at Bow church and the police had trouble in protecting him from the congregation. though no- body seems to think 1t necessary or pessi- ble to protect congregation against him. When the Bishop is enthroned al St. Paul's. Kensit is expected to renew his protest, which Is generally looked upon as . high compliment to pr. In- gram, whom all but the Kensits re- spect.

WHY IT HAS THREE HANDLES.

WTN td TAO fIHEE FIANOlGS' From the Keystone.
 A correspondent recently wrote the edi- tor of the Keystone, asking how 1t hap pened that loving cups mostly have three handles. It may be interesting reading to see how this is explained:
 It seems that there Is some doubt both as to the origin of the cup and the raison deter of the three handles. One surmise is that the loving cup originated In Italy, where 1t happened not infrequently that hosts stabbed their guests or poisoned them at friendly banquets. From this is evolved reason for the three handles. The host drank from the cup first, this act showing that the liquor in the cup was not poisoned; then holding it by two of the handles. he passed 1t to his friend on the left. His two hands being occu- pied, he could not stab his friend: and as his friend took one handle in his right hand he would have been put to incon- vensnce to stab his host with his left hand.
 The late Lord Lyons, British Ambas- sador at Paris. used to relate the follow ing history of ''Ths Three-Handled Low ing Cup" King Henry of Navarro (Hsnry' " of France) while hunting be- came separated from his companions and feeling thirsty. called at a wayside inn for cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing 1t to him as he sat on horseback, neglected to present the handle. Some wine was split over, and Ills Majesty's white sauntlets were soiled. While rilin,. home he bethought him that two- handled cup would prevent recurrence of this. So His Majesty had . two-han- dled cup made at the royal potteries and sent 1t to the inn On his next visit he called again for wine, when. to his as- tonishment, the maid (having received in- structions from her mistress to be very careful of the Kings cup') presented it to him, holding 1t herself by each of its handles. At once the happy idea struck the king of a cup with three handles, which was acted upon. As His Majesty quaintly remarked. Surely out of three handles I shall be able to get one.'
 A twentieth century reason for the third handle was given recently by 8 son of toll in this city. Two Irishmen, while at work in the subway, unearthed an old loving cup and 1t was scrubbed out to serve, as beer receptacle, known in the proletariat vernacular as 'growler." One day at lunch time Mike had an elab- crate thirst, and, putting the beer-laden loving cup to his mouth, proceeded to swallow the contents. Pat. who was en- titled to his share, watched Mikes feat in open-mouth astonishment, and as the last drop disappeared down Mikes capa- cious oesophagus. he said: "Oi know now why that cup has that third handle Why" said Mike. catching his breath after the final guip. ITO keep the growl- CT from goin' down that tunnel wid the beer." said Pat in disgust. There may have been big thirsts and big mouths in ancient times.

Oil and Coal in Mobile.

Tn discussing the effects of cheap oil upon the consumption of coal the Mobile Register says:
 ''The effect upon the sale of Alabama coal Is felt, and apprehension of exten- slve loss of territory for the sale of coal is manifest. It is not likely that the oil will be piped to Mobile in view of the distance and the difficulty of crossing the Mississippi river, but tank steamers, talk ing on oil at Port Arthur from a pipe line there will be able to deliver the oil as cheaply here as 1t could be pumped by a pipe line.
 '.The field of conjecture as to the possi- ble industrial development by reason of the introduction of this cheap fuel is very wide. It may be that Mobile is upon the edge of the greatest of industrial expan- sion This city is certainly in Q natural position to reap greater advantage from the utilization of cheap fuel than New Orleans. for the only important coal con- suming industries in the latter city are the refining of sugar and the preparation of rice for market, whereas Mobile has within her reach the greatest iron sup ply of the United States. and convenient means of transporting the iron. If iron and steel making should be started here, by virtue of the cheapness of the fuel, there is actually no calculable limit to the extent of our activity in this indus try. Ship building would naturally fol- lqw. which is in itself very great de-
 rtment of industrial enterprise"
 when oil has to compete with steam coal at about s1.25 a ton--for when the Warrior is opened and steam coal is crowded by the Texas fuel run of mine coal can be laid down In Mobile at that price-when this occurs oil will not have walkover. oil will not De used by seagoing steamers, and there are very many who will not use it in preference to cheap coal. Where coal is scarce and high-priced, as 1t is in Texas, oil will be used as fuel, and 1t will be a great boon. To some ex- tent it will supplant coal in New Or leans, but it is exceedingly improbable that 1t will during it's brief life drive coal out of Mobile.

nous men of General Logans acquaini ance at one time or another during hi life and placed them in scenes in whicl they never participated. "The scenes az allegorical. not historical" she added.
 Imagine the consternation of the Wash ington public. Imagine the disgust of tn public school children who are obliged u gaze at those fictitious scenes.
 What worries public opinion generalh Is the fact that It can not grasp just whI one man (of course a great personaRel can add artistic effect any more thai another man. Washington has some poo statues, but her art education Is advano ing and what Is more, she says bad art bad enough, but bad art mixed with bai history is dreadful
 Franklin Simmons, the sculptor of tn Logan statue, has had the doubtful pleas ure of hearing about as frank criticism of his production as he could ever wisl to have made. The critic was an office in the army. one who had known Genera Logan during his life time quite well. A the close of the ceremonies of the unveil ing Mir Simmons approached the office and asked him what he thought of tn statue.
 '"The hat is tilted too far over his nose,' replied the officer.
 Tt Is too low in the crown. No on, ever saw a cavalry officer carry hii sword like that, off to one side, and on, leg Is longer than the other" With thes, bluff comments the officer walked away
 The controversy over the defects Of tn, statue and the misplaced historical per sonages of the allegorical scenes wal quickly hushed up. The sculptor tool the view of Mrs. Logan, saying that h, knew all about the whole matter ana there was really nothing strange abom the groups. All of which goes to prov. how much power Mrs. Logan, as the wid. ow of the general, still possesses owinl to the number of Grand Army men ii Washington, whatever she does or say, is bound to be excused by the veterans but no matter how loyal they are nol how much they do. the public will hay. its laugh.
