Cuba's New Constitution.

The new Cuban constitution has not been completed, and it will not be com. pleted in time to be considered by the present Congress. But its chief pro- visions are now we'll known, and two of them at least will be repudiated by Congress beyond reasonable doubt.
 The provision on it for universal suf. frage will not be acceptable, because it would create another Hayd. another halfbarbaric State, near our shores, at the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico, near, too, the passage to the Nicaragua panal. Universal suffrage in Cuba means that at least half of the six prov. inces will be in the hands of negroes, and all of the number will be in danger

70 Grip, Cold Grip."

" The grip is tightening IS terrible grip upon Birmingham, and undoubtedly we are all in for it." sniffled a victim in this smoky corner last night, and he looked utterably miserable.
 '"Fhe beautiful and the great alike are having bad time the world over. Today eight of the fairest maidens out of class of thirty-odd of the farest schoolgirls in the whole world, these fair ones being pupils in most fashionable school in Bir minsham, came up missing at roll call, and the excellent general excuse sent from maiden couches of suffering was Got the Grip, poor little dears That is true of the beautiful; and as for the great the world sorrows for it's most illustrious woman, the Tsar is ill., the Pope is not strong and l don't feel at all we'll myself! In fact I feel like could die, and by way of sooth- ing me, handsome Birmingham man who suffers as a bachelor, but will not so suffer long, sends me some tender lines clipped from a newspaper in Bryans State, which is nicknamed Nebraska: l said to the grip 70 grip cold grip You're a terror beyond doubt And whoever you touch with your clammy clutch IS III LUCK II he e CT gets out l said to the grip: 70 grip, cold grip, You are haunting the homes of men, And you made such a wreck of my fat old

 That man can take when you make him
 shake
 And have any good cause for hope?' Then the cold grip lifted his icy head
 And winking the other eye, In harsh voice said: Stay two weeks in
 bed,
 And you'll live-but you ought to die.'
 Just sol and I give you the dreadful lines whereby you may carry joy to Bir- minghams multitudinous victims of the grip."'

War Revenue Reductions.

The Senate finance committee will call up its bill this week, and a very considerable discussion will arise over it. It contains some singular provis- ions. Neither the House nor the Sen ate, both controlled by Republicans, offers to reduce the duty on tea, which amounts to about S1 per cent, but both are striving to reduce the tax on beer and tobacco. The House agreed to re- duce the tax on beer to $1.60, and the Senate has gone still further in like direction by proposing tax of s1.50. This would cut off about $10,000, 900 of revenue a year. The dealers in tea, which is consumed by almost very fam lily, pay no campaign contributions, while the brewers contribute liberally. Hence the difference in treatment in the reduction bill. Tobacco is favored in the Senate bill, and the tobacco trust probably knows the reason why.
 The stamp taxes on checks, drafts, postal money orders and the like are retained. These are more vexatious than burdensome, and not a little an- noyance would have been saved by lop- ping them off. This could not be done, and serve at the same time the brew ers and the manufacturers of tobacco and snuff, who had contributed liberally to the campaign fund. Legislation as a rule now relates to that gigantic fund, which fairly reeks with corruption and rottenness. Legislation is sold to the highest bidder in the name of party, and the demoralization is not the less because of the intervention of party in the vile business.

TAXING BACHELORS
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Now and then a self conscious soon who gets into a State Legislature introduces a bill for the special taxation of bachelors, as such. One of that kind has made his mark in the present Legislature of Mchi- gan. We do not know what is the moving cause of his proposition. It may be be- cause he thinks that bachelors are par ticularly fortunate class, who ought to pay something extra into the coffers of the State He may be large landholder in a sparsely populated county, and anxious to have population increased. He may lm- agine that bachelors are an abnormal and dangerous element in the community, for whom existence should be made harder and more uncomfortable than it naturally is Representative McFarlane of the Michigan Legislature is not cruel man. If he were, he would propose some more drastic meas ure than a tax of $5 a head on men who allow themselves to become more than 30 years old without getting married. But if he cannot be esteemed cruel, neither can he be deemed soft-hearted. If he were he would certainly make provision for ex- cepting bachelors who have been disap- pointed in love, being single not through any malice, but because of misfortune and
 inability to satisfy their ideals. Any spe cal tax on bachelors ought to be accom- panied by another on married men who show inability to train up their children in the way they should go.

of black rule. The negroes of Cuba are iinterate. and good government by them is not to be recxoned possible, much less probable.
 Under such rule the Cuban constitu- tion proposes without remuneration to the United States in any form to set up an independent Republic in every respect at once. This will not be ac- ceptable to Congress. It will not be sponsibie to the world for good gov ernment in Cuba. Universal suffrage even if it work we'll, the United States should retain for a considerable period suzerain rights so far as international relations are concerned.
 To this Gomez and Sanguilly and other revolutionary leaders will object, but they should be made to see that this country cannot afford to have an enlarged Hayti in the West Indies. The situation is anything but pleasant. The Neelys and Rathbones that the admin istration has sent to Cuba have de- prived us of any friends or adherents in that island. All the natives as well as the Spaniards dislike the Americans. We have no friends there. But never theless we cannot afford to let the reyn- lutionists, the rabble, take charge of is one that will have to be met and resolutely faced in the next Congress.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
School Books and Fair Prices.

The Legislature will be reconvened today, and in twenty-five days it will have run it's course, and legislative work under the constitution of 1875 will be little relation to ordinary legislation, for the Legislature is sovereign as to all things not named in the written in strument, and the shorter and simpler that instrument is the longer and better dulge in written constitutions, chiefly because they lack elasticity. They do not conform to changing circumstances. and the constitution of the United States is not an exception to the rule.
 But the Legislature is the thing at hand, not new constitution. The Leg islature will be busy from it's assem- bling to it's final adjournment, and it will have several opportunities to show whether it prefers the people or will stick to monopoly. In the case of school books it can find excuse for sticking to monopoly by listening to teachers who do not want to give up their power over textbooks. They have pet books, and pet publishers. But when Alabama parents are asked to pay B per cent more for school books than Tennessee parents pay an ugly problem arises and the members of the Legislature cannot fall back on teacher with his hobbies when the extortion of B per cent. above just and fair prices Is i'm posed on their constituents.
 The Legislature can put Alabama on level with Indiana ana Tennessee and other advanced States, or it can let the book trust rob the people of the State mercilessly. It must choose between the two policies-fair prices or robbery prices. The voice of the teachers and county superintendents should not be needed. Such a voice was heard in Tennessee and in South Carolina and in Texas, but the Legislatures of those States saw no reason why they should be taxed B per cent. in order to gratify teachers and county superntendents Some of the latter do not know a school book when they see it.

REVIVAL OF THE WHIPPING POST

From the Kansas City Star
 Public attention has been directed to Del aware of late in connection with the apita tion in various places for the revival of the whipping post for the punishment of cer- tain ifenses. The State is peculiar in be- ing the only one of the original thirteen to retain it's code of blue laws of century ago with only slight modification It has been barely even years since the ex-convict has been relieved from the requirement. of wearing his striped jacket for term after his release from jal-a custom which re- calls the romance of "The Scarlet Letter
 A writer in Ainslee's Magazine finds pub lie opinion in the State divided on the ques- tion of the advantages of corporal punish- ment, A minority of the people regard the penalty of the lash as degrading to the criminal and to the public which sees it applied. The system is favored partly for it's good results and partly for it's economy It is much more extensive than is generally supposed All sorts of crimes from bank robbery to arson, are punished by the pill lory or the whipping post in addition to confinement in jail. The State has no peni tentiary.
 An admitted defect of the system in Della ware is it's indiscrimnate application Other states where it is proposed to introduce the whipping post would not think of making 1t so universal a punishment as it is in Delaware. Its advocates usually favor it's a punishment for wife-eaters and certain other of the most brutal classes of criminals It is distinctly a deterrent and not reformatory measure. As Delaware is far from being a rich State, the fact that lashes can take the place of jail sentence in any cases and can shorten 1t in all in- f1uences the attitude of the taxpayers who are relieved of the burden of supporting criminals in the jails. The experience of Delaware ought to prove of value to other states But allowance must be made for local conditions.

day, amongst the tens of thousands of mes- sages of sympathy sent the new King was one from the American jockey, Charlie Reiff, who is now in this country. Imme- diately afterward came the Kings cordial acknowledgement to the American black smiths son, the now famous jockey, the royal words of thanks being kindly and strikingly grateful.
 The pleasing incident recalls story of Reiff as he was a few years ago. He was then young boy on the Latonia race course at Cincinnati, and got dead broke, strapped, without a penny. The little boy approached big bookmaker, a giant of some six feet four. weighing nearly three hundred pounds, and with a heart in pro- portion to his gigantic frame, and told him his troubles
 ' Dead broke-not a cent eh?' said the giant.
 Nary cent, answered little Reiff.
 Well take that-as well you as any body in the world-and good luck to youp and the big bookmaker handed Reiff ten dollars.
 The big bookmaker was-Big Dick Wilk- lnson, known to every horseman and sport Ing man in the United States, and famed everywhere for his more than generous charity Big Dick has been a resident of Birmingham for two or three years. and is largely Interested in a fashionable saloon ?

A Woman's Bitter Story.

One of the saddest of human stories Is brought to light by the sudden death of a Mississippi lady in Birmingham hospital" !" said newsgatherer last night This gen. tlewoman's fortunes and health failed her some years ago, and she became addicted to the morphine habit She grew worse and worse as matter of course, and became poorer and poorer in the worlds goods Some months ago family of position who knew the unhappy woman in Mississippi discovered her here in the city and found her to be complete physical wreck, help less, in rags, and penniless. Arrangements were made, and the sufferer was removed to the county almshouse, where she re- ceived a plenty of wholesome food, warm and good clothing, and kind attention and was not suffered to indulge in morphine She was greatly improved, and, apart from her craving for the accursed drug, she was contented.
 During the recent holidays the woman's friends in Mississippi who are of excellent social position, as she used to be, sent her a Christmas box containing nice clothing and little luxuries. The box contained also a few dollars in money, which the poor woman concealed without allowing any one near her to know she had it.
 Very recently this woman's old Missis- sippi friend, a society woman of Brming- ham, persuaded the Sisters of Charity at St. Vincents Hospital to consent to receive the sufferer, seeing that she had entirely recovered from her over-indulgence in mor- phine and was therefore not barred by the hospital regulations, which forbid the re- ception and accommodation of all persons suffering from the accute effects of drunk enness, whether of alcohol or drugs there ment of inebriates. The poor woman was brought into town on Friday last in a ve- hicle, and on her way to the hospital when she asked the driver to stop at a drugstore, in order that she might get some necessary medicine. Taking a part of the money which had been sent her from Mis- sissippi, she purchased of the drugstore a large quantity of morphine, and proceeding to the hospital she took dose of the drug about the size of the ordinary dose she was almshouse, not considering the fact that all trace of the poison had been eradicated from her system. Two hours afterwards the woman was dead: she had taken enough morphine to kill three men,
 Yet there are men claiming to be civil ized who oppose the passage of simple law that would have saved that woman's life and would save the lives of thousands or men and women in the years to come"

Omission in Mir. Depew's Speech.

MT. Depew stayed his tide of jokes long enough to make speech on the | subsidy bill. He took the side of the looters as a matter of course, for he always trains with the strongest bat talion of his own party. But there were many omissions in his speech. He failed to quote, for example, what his rail road and steamship friend, James J. Hill recently said about the subsidy bill. MT. Hill is building two large steamships at New London, Conn.,, and this Is what he said:
 We can build ships in this country as we'll and as cheaply as they can be built anywhere in the world. Now I had figures within the last year furnished from the best builders on the Clyde and figures from good builders as there are in this coun- try, |. to my utter amaZement, the Amer ican figures on a single ship were f80000 to 100000 under the best Clyde builders, and when We get the ship subsidy that Is prom ised, see how happy we shall be. **+ They have set apart 30 per cent. of the apportion- ment for the Pacific ocean, No doubt, some of my friends thought they were serv- ing me, and in money sense, perhaps they were, but I would much rather them take the duty off the plates that are to go into the ships when they are built.
 Nor did the great Joker, if not Sena- tor, mention the prospectus of the American Navigation Company. The prospectus goes on to state that all the shipyards on the great lakes and the Atlantic seaboard are so crowded with orders that handsome premium was paid for the contract for two ships to be delivered December 1, next; that ex- cept by buying up these contracts it would be impossible to secure the de- livery of like vessels before the middle of 1902 The concern seems quite un- aware that it is impossible to operate ocean ships profitably except with the help of a government bonus. On the other hand it sets out that the probable minimum profits from the operation of these ships will amount to some 20 per cent. yearly on the sum invested.
 Such omissions as these render Sen- ator Depews speech very one-sided and unsatisfactory. He should not have so sighted his friend, MT. Hill, for MT. Hills judgment and success and career far outrun those of any other railroad manager in this country. But the omis- sions need not concern us, for the bill is fully as dead as Hector-deader, for it will never be heard from again, and Hector was.

THE UTAH SENATOR.
rom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Nothing is known of the just elected Sen ator from Utah except that he was the choice of the Mormon church. The hier- archy of that body has established itself in supreme control in the State. While it was inclined to favor the Democratic party, there was some resistance offered to it but the rejection of one of it's members as a representative in Congress last year in- duced it to adopt a different policy in pol itics. That new policy was to enter into alliance with the Republicans The effect of it was seen in the change of Democrat ic majority of 51 ,106, cast in 1896, to a Re- publican majority of 3153 in 1900, and that in a total vote of only a little more than 9O00O With this phenomenal result achieved, the Republicans are. apparently, safe in Utah as long as their bargain witb the Mormon church holds.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 After reading the editorial of Sunday s paper about the non-removal of fences, please do Justice to the citizens by stating the total lack of enforcing the stock law. Neighborhood after neighborhood would be glad to pull dwn the ragged, jagged front fence,' but our yards, especially in the To- cality of Beelers Station, would be turned into grazing pasture. How long, oh how long will Birmingham be country? Until well-balanced city fathers become broad and just to all points. A. WOMAN.

THE FIGHTING PLEBE.

From the Springfield Republican.
 The mystery of the unhazed West Point "plebe'' is cleared. It will be remembered that one of the cadet witnesses spoke of a "plebe' of forgotten name who had never been hazed-because he had whipped everybody who tried it. It appears that Maj. John H. Parker of Sedalia, Mo-, now in the Philippines with the Thirty ninth Regiment, was the man. He entered the academy, "a big, raw-boned six-footer, as strong as an OK, and ready to fight at the drop of the hat" The hat dropped pret- ty often, and the upper classmen dropped a little oftener. Major Parker did creditable service in Cuba, where he was in charge of the Gatling guns.

LILAcs FROM EUROPE.

From the Municipal Journal and Engineer.
 The common lilac, which is known to botanists as Syringa vulgars, has been in cultivation for over 300 years, and it's native home is said to be on the mountainous re- gions of Central Europe, from Piedmont to Hungary, whence it was introduced to cultivation in 1897. Botanists recognize about twelve species of lilacs found in a wild state, and these are native from southwest ern Europe through Central Asia and the Himlayas to Mongolia, Northern China and Japan None of the species are natives of the American continent.
