Victory For Maine.

The Burlelgh congressional re-appor-
tionment bill, making the number of
members of the House 1856 and giving
the State of Maine Its present number
of representatives, passed the House,
Tuesday. after a prolonged and warm
debate, by the great majority of So votes,

strengthened his reputation as one of
the most powerful debaters who has
been in Congress for many years. With
out the Maine delegation the Hopkins
bill would have swept the House. This
shows what superb organization and
brilliant debate will do for cause.
Senators Hale and Frye rendered the
most Elective aid possible. Maine is ex-
ceedingly fortunate 10 having two men
of their great strength and influence to
represent her In the upper branch of
Congress. Despite his recent sad
bereavement and the exacting duties OF

If three prominent attorneys of Montgom- cry had killed quail before the season opened, or had carried concealed weapons, would arrests or indictments have fol- lowed in each of these cases? Probably so; at any rate, I hope so. In the older countries and States, the crime Is in the violation of a law. as well as in the do- ing the prohibited act It should mean in Alabama to violate a statute. that the punishment would surely follow, regard less of the influence or prominent stand ing of the parties.

The Moors nnd Their MornI.

In appearance the MOors are n very
fine race. For many generations their
mothers have been chosen for their
beauty. An active life In the saddle
has developed them physically and a
splendid appearance is the result. In
addition, they have manners of un.
equaled suavity and polish, the result
of early years spent in the harem.
They are SO habituated TO think well
of themselves as followers of the true
prophet that an uneasy conscience
never troubles them.
A man may be an utter scoundrel,
cruel and licentious, and yet be regard
ed MS n saint If he is descended from
the prophet and conforms to the out
ward ceremonial Of islam. His brow
is frank and unclouded. his smile is
even benevolent, and yet it would be
impossible TO describe the details Of his
life Such are the Moors-an interest
