The Beloved Irish,

There comes through the mail an ex- quisite little book, bound in paper, and 1t contains the speech of Hon. Alexander Troy of Montgomery, delivered there on the occasion of Hibernian banquet, re- gently. The cover is in green and gold. and in the centre is sprig of shamrock. On a fiy-leaf are these words from the Personal. Recollections of George Wash ington Parlse Custis:
 Let the Shamrock be entwined with the laurels of the Revolution: and truth and justice, guiding the pen of his tory, inscribe on the tables of America s remembrance. Eternal gratitude to Irish men,
 Ut is a commendable virtue to take pride in the glorious achievements of our ancestors declared MT. Troy. What a rich legacy has been given us by the Irish race in the im- mortal names of the patriots who lived and died that Ireland might take its place among the nations!"
 Then he made a running, vivid com ment upon the more illustrious Irishmen of history, down to Pat Cleburne, Father Ryan. and all that glorious band of our southerners. Some persons there be who might take issue as to Andrew Jackson and Stonewall Jackson being Irishmen. these persons holding that those two were Scotchmen springing out of Ireland. Not to be personal, we have here in Jefferson County many Ameri- can-born Irishmen who are just as thor oughly Irish as if they had been born in Cork or Donegal.
 However that may be, there is no issue raised with the Hon. Alexander Troy. He made masterly beautiful speech, and

And there are so many things, so many examples, so many good women and children, pointing, every one of them, the way of Truth and Joy and Laughter, Charity and Hope and Faith alway.
 A little child passed through the crowd ed way when yesterday was passing, and she was inspiration to hundreds. maybe thousands, for strong men weak in wrong and women poor in their own forgetfl- ness of things of the Great Law, turned to smile at the unknown little white tot in white-and-blue, with her own little sunshade above her. proudly trudging along by the mothers side. It was a wondrous fair. thing to see; it was as if a wee angel in white-and-bue were pass ing by, telling in silence the story every good man knows and all good women de- mand.
 Even as these words are writ, in an hour just before the night, that angel child passes by on the other side, her blue little sunshade dragging along by her blue-clad little. legs, her other gar ments beautifully white, and her little AdSo ioSy Ter WIlte cap, LHe HVlHB symbol and, sign of other loves than Gods, yet as truly little preacher as ever walked preacher in crowded way. Who she is it4is not given here to know, only she's Gods.
 
 Behold, beloved. there is made to you yet another living sign and symbol, even with the sign of the cross.
 Last night, one, coming now to be a woman. passed by in blue and d-white with an armful of roses and heartful of love and goodness and sweetness, marching with glad steps to joy Any man in all this world might be proud to cry to her:
 And let lifes sky
 Bring smile or sigh,
 Or stars or storms above me;
 Let Fame depart
 From my life sweetheart--
 Your lips have said you love mel!
 Yet no man may say that. for her time Is not at hand; her life is still of the younger years; hers is the divine free dom of youth. And this is truly the most splendid thing in this life. God gives to us nothing more enticing or more beauti- full than youth rolling hoops made of the rainbow. It is alluring-it Is Gods
 Take her of the blue-and-white, with her armful of roses and heartful of love and goodness and sweetness-her white

MORE APPARENT THAN EVER.

From the Jackson (Mieh.) Patriot.
 The only reason given for the advance in the price of steel rails is that the traffic will bear 1t, while at the same time rails are being exported for sale at prices far below the American quotation. Under such conditions it would tax even the re- sources of the billion-dollar trust to keep the hands of Congress permanently from the metal schedule of the tariff.

The forthcoming Alabama constitution may construe these amendments socalled and the construction may be tantamount to non-usage. Our statute laws achieve non-usage in respect to them all the time. These amendments were designed to extinguish all race lines in- the South. That is the sum and substance of the in- tent.

 Birmingham must have a better base ball team or the people will lose interest in the games and cease to support it. It Is said that our fielders are good but our pitchers are weak. However that may be, there is something materially wrong and Manager Mills must improve his team.
 All the United States, as well as the south, is prospering. Estimates of the Treasury Department are that the trade balance created in Europe in our favor will be $500 100000 at the end of the pres ent fiscal year, six weeks hence. At this rate all the debt of this country to Eu- rope will soon be paid off, and within 8 few years we shall become creditor na- tion.
 Speaking of the wealth of this country, gold production has been so great within the past four years that there seems to be fear of glut of gold. Professor Shaler, who holds the chair of geology in Har- yard University, predicts that within the next thirty years there will be an influx of gold such as the world before has never known. He estimates that the United States mines alone will soon yield $500, ,00o0O0 of gold annually, At this rate of production of actual money, and with the balance of trade so greatly in our favor, we may expect higher prices for all kinds of property.

Non-Usage in the Constitution.

Non-usage in the Constitution.
 On the theme of negro disenfranchise- ment a man said yesterday:
 Senator Morgan has spoken in a time ly moment of a liberal construction of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. In his published view this morning he thinks Alabama will be permitted to save herself from liberal reading of the documents.
 "The Senator merely speaks for non usage. Lincoln applied non-usage to the doctrine laid down by the Declaration of Independence, that this government is founded on the consent of the governed The South had fifteen States and the North sixteen, but Mir. Lincoln could see nothing of the consent of the governed doctrine in the Southern movement.
 'So with the later decree of the Su- preme Court. prohibiting a tax on ln- comes, that decree is merely declaration of non-usage of a taxing power that had been in practice for a century, from time to time. fes
 "There Is another case In 1857 the court published its decree that the constitution is inseparable from the flag. This Is the Dred Scott case. The flag now delights to wave where the constitution is not per- mitted to accompany it-non-usage with vengeance!
 There are many other examples of non-usage of once active principles in our government. Going to England we find no sovereign. since William of Orange, has exercised the veto unless an immaterial case in more modern times be allowed, Edward VII. would not dare to veto an act of Parliament, yet the veto is prerogative of the crown. the same now as in earlier times.
