The Editor Out of Humor.

The people called on the Constitu- ttonal Convention to sorter pull the Legislature off of them, and now that august body aforementioned has had itself authorized to draw it's per diem pretty nigh indefinitely for entertain ing their employers, the public, with fiery little spats and daring and excit- ing personal controversies more bigoted than learned and more vituperate than debative. Apparently they frittered away over fifty days discussing minor and comparatively insignificant sub iects, and the most complete and sat isfactory business they have so far transacted, Is the granting of leaves of absence. Who or what will deliver us from the Convention and pull it off Of the dear people?

The Louisville Post of Tuesday in forms us that John Wesley Gaines is still on the ocean," We really don't understand this. It has been almost a month since The Memphis Commercial Appeal informed us that the afore- said John w. had embarked for Flu rope, and our understanding was that he was checked through without stop pages, and We fail to understand how the ship which carries Ceasar and his fortunes can make such slow time. Does it stop at all the way stations, or is it moving slowly so as not to Jar the emi- nant TenGesseean? We have filed request with odr Tennessee contempo- raries to let us know when John Wes lev strikes land, so that we may pre- pare for a jolt, but fear they will for get 1t.

 The report of the Committee looks quite strong and formidable. as far as it goes. but We fear it will be as futile as the present Constitutions provision, unless it is broadened and deepened. The Convention should do so by all means.

The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle is en- gagged in the pleasing tas k of lifting itaelf out of the free. silver mire by the seat of its trousers. It cheerfully aban- dons it's financial theory because there Is now enough money in circulation, which obviates the need of free-coin- age. That is a crooked way out of an untenable position, but is probably as good as pny tae free-silver advosates have.

The celebrated Dr. Koch declares that malarial microbes "can be stampe uot with quinine treatment" That's worse than our suggestion that mos ouitoes be vaccinated to prevent them spreading smallpox. Just how the quinine is to be administered to the microbes we are not informed. unless the idea Is to fill man full of the drug and stand him up in a swamp. That would kill the germs. possibly, but it would be hard on the patient.

The Milwaukee Free Press says:

The three hundred Alabama negroes on their way to take the places of the steel industries strikers at Chicago marched back home when they found they were not to be protected.
 That a Southern negro should expect protection in any Northern State, when he goes there to displace white laborers, is due to the outrageous misrepresen- fation of labor agents.

Concerning Fire Limits.

Montgomery. Ala. July 31. 1901. Editors The Advertiser:
 As citizen who has the hest inter- ests of the city at heart and desires to see dts upbuilding. I would ask why the erection of a frame building is permitted on the north side of Dexter Avenue in the block below the Cap itol?
 Was not both sides of Dexter Avenue declared within the fire limit. and where is the good reason in taking it out?
 If understand correctly Dr. B. J. Baldwin was forced to comply with the ordinance. why discriminate?
 Dexter Avenue is our most promi- nent street and the buildings upon it should be of such character as to be a matter of public pride. It is within the power of our city officials to make 1t so. and they should see that it be done at once. Citizen.
