EARL BUSHELS PETITION.
The Bigamy Hearing is Postponed
 Until August 6.

London. July 1.-The petition of Earl Russell for a postponement of his triai was presented at a special session or the House of Lords today. The peui- ton for postponement was granted ana the hearing adjourned until August Q. Earl Russell and his counsel occupied seats in the bar of the House. whie the Countess formerly Mrs. Somerviiie' was seated in the box of the biack Rod General Sir Michael Bidduipn. AT ter the opening ceremonies or the House of Lords. Earl Russell himsei1 approached the bar and handed the pe- tition to a clerk who read the docu- ment.
 Counsel for Earl Russell. in support ing the application. suggested that nis Lordship's proceedings in Nevada had been approved by high legal authority in the United States. Evidence in re- war d to the decree and domicile in Me- vada could only be given in America by the witnesses and must be prepared with great fuilness and care.
 The Attorney General opposed the postponement. He said Judge Curler of Nevada is an essential witness and he must be back home at the end of August. Therefore. If the application were sramteu' possioiS .he pio'e'u''ol' might collapse.
 After consultation, the Lord Chancel- Tor announced that an adjournment was granted to August 6. and that no further delay will be admitted.
 It seems to be quite possible that Earl Russell will elect to stand trial on the original date. July IS, as his lawyers consider the extension of time quite insufficient to obtain the evidence 1t is desired to collect in Nevada.

WILL THE PRESIDENT Y1ELDP

A highly interesting question Tn na- tional political and official affairs is now on in connection with the office of Commissioner of Pensions, and the fight being made on Commissioner Evans. Some of the revelations which have been and are being made are ot nature to try the backbone as well as the character of the President to the utmost, and there is much curiosity and no little anxiety to see the result.
 There seems no reason to doubt that a combination and bargain was entered into during the late Presidential cam paisn. to which Hanna was party, ana of which General Sickles and other Grand Army men were also parties. It was thought that Hanna could control the official conscience of Mckinley and the Grand Army leaders required nledse from Hanna that Evans would be busted, and this pledge was the price of their loyalty to the ticket.
 If is not apparent that Hanna had any definite promise from Mckinley. because he intimated that he might not be able to deliver the head Of Evans on n charger, so to speak. but pledged himself to do his level best" to en- sure the decapitation of the honest of fcial and the appointment of man who would be more amenable to req
 son as understood by the pension
 sharks. It seems, however, that the enemks of Evans had such confidence
 in the prowess and promises of the Ohio boss. that they gave their hearty support to the ticket and no doubt con- tributed largely to the election of Mo Kinley.
 This is the situation, and now the Grand Army men are demanding their pound of flesh. General Sickles, as
 their mouth piece. declares that If Evans is not removed. there will be musIc,'i and is calling on Hanna to make good his bluff and to force Me KinIey to oust Evans and put in a man who will be acceptable to the loot CTS and pension -grabbers. This the President seems disposed not to do, and

That mob law begets mob law is we'll illustrated by the scenes in the eastern part of Elmore County last Tuesday. There was no use for the lynching of the negro victim of that gang of law less white men, and every one engaged in it ought to be indicted and punished to the full extent of the law. There was no assault in this case on . white woman. The ofiicers of the county, it seems. were not aware of any trouble or the disgracefui murder might have been prevented. The negro. however. was taken from . number of citizens who were conveying him to jail. There was. therefore, no danger of escaping, and. as he waS practically in the hands of the law. his trial at an early date was assured. A great crime against the dignity and honor of Alabama has been committed.

Reynolds's Bad Break.

Eessemer Weekly.
 A MT. Reynolds, delegate from Chill ton County to the Constitutional Con- vention. has given a shake to his elongated ears and prayed a bray. and quoth he, If there be another ass as big as me trot him out" We don't be- lieve that there is another one in the Convention as big as he. No one will dispute his wearing the laurels. He has introduced a long resolution into the Convention, the substance of 1t be- ing that no newspaper man shall re- ceive or accept a pass from any rail- road company under a penalty of fine of 5000. to be assessed on both giver and recipient. The caliber of Dele gate Reynolds's brain and the degree of his intelligence are readily seen from this step. There Is no such thing as free pass. Newspapers always pay for all the transportation they receive. Neither Constitution nor legislation can interfere with railroad comp anies exchanging transportation for advel- tising any more than they could with Delegate Reynolds swapping his ;ack- knife off for plug of navy brain food.

They have seen its disadvan- tages in other lands, and they know that where free and untrammelled and entirely independent of State support, 1t can best follow out Its Divine mis- sion The Catholic people in the Phil- ippines. as soon as they are separated from influences prejudicial to the Amer ican idea. will realize the more fortun- ate position of their co-religionists in the United States and will welcome the adoption of measures and the coming of ecclesiast.cs to give force and ef- ficiency to those measures"

THE TAX LIMIT.
Members Don't Count Against Facts
 and Logic.
Mobile Register.

Mobile Register.
 Some of the strongest men in the Convention combatted the proposition to reduce the limit of taxation, and their arguments were sound. but the proposition carried by a vote of two to one. Even with such a preponder- ance of opinion in favor of the meas ure, we cannot give approval of it. It may cause such a cramping of the State Treasury as to seriously affect the States credit; and, moreover, the matter was not urgent. The LeGislar ture could well be empowered to reduce the tax rate and could be relied upon to do so whenever the States financial condition would justify such action. but this actual. unchangeable reduction by the Convention. leaves no room for further action. no matter how great may be the necessities of the State in the future It is said that the limit being placed low, immigrants will be attracted-a good argument if it can be shown that the limit of TS mills was so high as to keep people out of the State. Those who supported the measure con- tend that 65 mills limit will provide enough for the needs of the State. Granting this is so, would it not have served every purpose to command the Legislature to reduce the tax rate to 65 mills upon a showing of certain financial balance on the part of the State2

Discussing street railway franchises. The Norfolk Vidginian-Pil says:

The grant of public franchise is strictly a business transaction. A fran chise is a valuable piece of property be- longing to the public. The public wants all it can get for franchise when IL fjisposes of 1t. The person or corporation who wants the franchise tries to get 1t for as little as possible. That is all there is of the transaction. Neither philan.. thropy, favoritisn. so-called patriotism nor empty promises cut any figure in the matter.
 And, speaking of the effort to get gift from that city to certain corpora tions, our contemporary adds:
 It is the business of Councils. acting as the agents of the city, to get as much as possible for the franchise in question and to dispose of it to the persons who offer the most for it.
 That is the right view to take of it. The great outrage perpetrated in Phil adelphia only differs in degree from what is being done in other cities. The right to use the streets is right of | immense value to a street railway cor poration, and when that right is trans ferred without any pay, or for an in sufficient consideration, it is a wrong to the citizens and the taxpayers.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-05

the conflict is now on hetween his sense of justice to an honorable and honest official and the army of sharks who find in the Commissioner . bar to their schemes of loot and spoilation. The President must yield to Sickles and his followers or he must take a stand against all of them, Hanna fn- cluded, and remain true to his duty and to the Government.
 It is a trying position for man who. like Mckinley, Is not blessed with a super-abundance of that quality or commodity usually designated back bone. We give the President credit for intending to do right in the matter. but he has the reputation of being either too weak or too amiabie to make head against the rebellion or to stand out against the influences that threaten to overwhelm or engulf him. If he had the stern Roman backbone possessed in such a remarkable degree by Mir. Cleveland, it would be-
 "Then welcome be Cumberland's steed
 to the shock"
 and he would like nothing better than a trial of strength with the despoilers of the treasury. He would defy them and their threats, and stand by an of- ficial whose only fault. so far as the country can gather, has been his devo- tion to duty and his absolute refusal to be used as a tool by those who would grow rich through fraudulent pension claims.
 Merely as a question of policy we are inclined to think that the President will be the galner by standing up to Evans. He may lose the support of the class who are ever ready to cruelty A faithful official, but he will be sus- tained by the best men of all parties; so if there was nothing at stake but his personal and political fortunes, he would be the gainer by sustaining Evans. But there is something higher than personal aggrandizement to be considered, and if he will determine to do just what is right and stick to It. he will not only have the satisfaction of knowing that he has done his duty but will find himself stronger than Il he yields to the clamor. It Is case where honesty. duty and seif-interes' are all in harmony, if he can only be made to see it. Never had President a finer opportunity.
