Death of Hon. R. H. Seymour.

''The death of Hon. R. H. Seymour of Sumter, which occurred in Meridian on Monday morning, will cause keen regret to great number of good people, friends of his own, and to the multitude of friends throughout Alabama who es- teem and admire his noted son, Hon. William Henry Seymour, former consul of the United States at Palermo. Italy, and for several terms a member of the lower house of the Alabama Legisla- ture," said friend of the Seymour fam fly last night.
 'It will be recalled that the late MT. Seymour, who was a man of lion-like courage and great will-power, was shot and wounded fourteen times In a per- sonal difficulty, it was alleged with some brothers Scott and perhaps others in Sumter County about a year ago. The difficulty appears to have grown out of a lawsuit about cow and owing to MT. Seymour's prominence in West Alabama the shooting created a great sensation in the State. Fourteen bullets were ex- tracted from MT Seymour's body The merits of the case I cannot discuss here; but MT. Seymour's death will cause gen. uine sorrow. For thirty years he had been one of the most influential citizens of Sumter, and his friends were entirely devoted to him."

The Newcomers Come.

'The best and most desirable class of business and professional men are thronging to busy Birmingham to take up their residence in this best and most promising of all possible towns in this or any country; and probably ten times a greater number would come if they could secure suitable dwelling houses.
 Amongst the latest and most desir- able newcomers is MT. w. A. Battle of Tuscaloosa, who opens his head offices in Birmingham as the representative of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company" said an old college mate of MT. Battle. MT. Battle has brought his family 10 the city and they are residing at 1918 Twelfth avenue, South, where they are already at home to their friends They will be cordially welcomed by Birming ham society, to which they will be a charming addition. MT Battle is of the historic Tuscaloosa family of that name and is a university man of distinction who has warm friends all over this State and in sister states of the south. Mrs. Battle, who is brilliant and lovely gentlewoman, was Miss Battle of Liv- ingston, and she has a wide acquaint- ance amongst the most cultured of Ala bamians."

others, who might or might not suffer in business or otherwise for the ending of her life Such risks are customary abroad though not tolerated in the Unit ed States and they are taken by life in- suraneo companies in England, even where no legitimate insurance interest exists, as in the case of people who de- sire simply to speculate on the Queens life. Now it appears that policies aggre- gating some s20, 0,0O0 GOO have recently been written in England on the life of MT. Morgan, and are held by persons inter- ested in American stocks with which MT Morgan is identified or which might suf- fer in depreciation in the event of his death. The matter was the subject of some cable correspondence between Lon don yesterday on the part of certain New York financial houses, and the az gregate of s2O 900 is what one of these houses learned to be the approximate amount of the insurance, according to the New York Evening Post. The rate of this insurance is said to be per cent a month. Thus to many Englishmen this private American citizen would ap- pear to be quite as important a person. age as the sovereign of England, and the actual power he wields in this nation is certainly of regal proportions

when they receive them, by assuming that they are devoid of pride and sen sitiveness. Perhaps they should be so constituted, but they are not. They are simply human creatures of the nat urnl everyday sort, and as 8 rule they will not attend pay schools. MT. Ellis cndcavors to minimize the evil, but hu- man nature forbids.
 The State needs a term of free school. That does not prevent sub sequent term of pay school. What the Age-Herald objects to is a mixture of the two, producing a vicious hybrid, neither fish, flesh nor fowl, nor good red herring. Either take away the State appropriation, or give us free schools of some duration. Quit subsi- dizing pay schools.

On With the Dance.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, a Quay and an administration organ, says
 Is there an ordinary citizen of the United States who really feels that he is being taxed for the support of the fed- eral government?
 We take the responsibility of answering that question with an emphatic no!
 Then why all this talk about extrava- gance and billion dollar sessions? The government collects certain amount of money and pays it out again. If this money goes for public Improvements men are put at work, and the men who work do not complain. These men do not pro- test that the government Is extravagane. It is only Millionaire Hale who Is doing the protesting. The average citizen very naturally will ask, What is his objectq
 If we have become a billion dollar country, so much the better. Let us hope that shortly we will become a two billion dollar country.
 Here it is again in all it's amplitude and glory. This is now the accepted doctrine in Republican circles. This is the downward road that Rome trav- elled. This is the result of indirect taxation.
 If this country is saved from corrup- tion, extrayagance and ruin, 1t will be through direct taxation, and particular ly through the employment of an in come tax. The prevailing corruption and extravagance are directly tracea- ble to indirect taxation, which robs the consumer alike for the government and for the coterie that controls the government, in such Q manner that the robbed do not know when and in what measure they were despoiled. The re- peal of the robber tariff should be the slogan of all who desire to save the re- public.

LONDON GAMBLES ON
 LIFE OF J. P. MORGAN

It is conceded by men in Wall street that If MT. Morgan should die-and, by the way, he gives every promise of liv- ing many years-the stock market would be thrown into absolute panic and null titude of fortunes would go tumolins down faster than they were ever built up
 Mir Morgan is a director In consider- able fraction of the listed stocks on the Exchange, and in every board his infiu- ence is appreciable. In the railway world and to a great extent in the steel indus try he occupies an eminent position.
 There is not an American stock that would not be affected by his i'll health, and furthermore the contagion of decline would spread to London, which every year is becoming more closely linked in financial chains to New York.
 Wall street recalls the violent decline as much as 20 points in some stocks that followed the sudden death of for mer Governor Flower, and urges that several men and many firms who were driven almost to the wall, If not quite so, could have laughed at the calamity if they had insured Governor Flowers life. as these Englishmen have insured the life of J. Pierpont Morgan.

A PREPosTERous NOTION.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Most chimerical and preposterous of all the visionary things that have been said about Mars inhabitants are those that relste to signals" between the two planets. The dark streaks, dubbed "ca- nals," upon the Martian surface, invisible to all but favored few observers, are of an average width of thirty miles. and the ''oases" have no greater average diame- ter than 130 miles. What, then, must be the stupendous scale of the Signals" to be successfully flashed earthward! It Is true that swift-winged light, journeying more than 1s6,0OO miles a second could cross the spatial abyss during perihelion oppostior in a little more than three min utes, but what toleration would the lad vanced civilization of Mars exhibit to- ward the scientific Nero who should cause the gigantic confagration necessary for communication with terrestrials-and that. too, in the absence of an intetligible celestial cipheri

Education in Alabama.

The uniformity text book act and the free school or Gunnells bill are both before the Senate. and each of them is a bill of tho highest merit. Each is in the interest of the many. Each is antagonized by special inter- ests, which are as powerful as they are selfish. If those special interests were not at work in Montgomery, everybody would say the two bills should be passed without a dissenting voice. But the special interests are pulling at the skirts of Senators, hop ing to defeat them, wholly regardless of the general good
 The uniform school book bill is bill to lessen expenses of education, and there is many household which needs it. There is many home that cannot afford to send children to school bo. cause the prices that the book trust exacts. It seems almost incredible
 
 that any legislator will listen to the trumped-up reasons of the opponents of this bill in the face of the expert ence in other States.
 The Gunnells bill is, however, the more important of the two bills. It is bill to establish free schools in a State that now has subsidized private or pay schools. Unless there are ab- solutely free schools in the State, the attendance of some children at school would be a physical i'm possibility and this doubtless accounts for much of the opposition to the bill providing for a system of free schools in the State. The State donates magnificent sum to public education, and it is unjust to rob those who most need it of the benefits of the appropria- tion through a system of pay schools.
 Both bills are in the interest of the many. They tread on the corns of the few, who are fighting for their own little schemes. Both bills should go and would go through unopposed if they could stand on their merits alone without encountering special interests of long but not desirable standing.

trial atmosphere the Yerkes telescope, greatest Of it's class, might glimpse as mere speck upon the perpetually cloud- less surface of the moon, an extensive group of great structures like those of the Chicago Exposition, and might also recognize the absence of the tiny dot up- on their removal-and that is all. Yet the perigee distance of our satellite Is only o.1 ,OO0 miles, while that of Mars Is 35,00O,- OOO miles, or 160 times as great Surely comment is unnecessary.
 It is regrettable when gifted mlnds' succumb to sensational temptations "Even the worthy Homer nods," says Horace; but 1t is particularly deplorable when investigators of creation are lured from stable process by wild visions f domination over nature. Babel is still potential as an object lesson, and credu- lous readers will do to ponder upon the famous Moon Hoax cleverly foisted up- on the public nearly three-quarters ol century ago. Whatever may be the celes- tial developments of future yelrs 1t IS quite safe to assume that the period Of inter-planetary signaling has not yet daWned.

MRS, NATION AND THE 400.

N. Y. Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Several invita- tions of more or less farclcal nature have been sent to Mrs, Carrie Nation regarding a New York visitation. The latest was a suggestion that she try her hand at reforming the Four Hundred, reference being made to the burlesque saloon smashing act at Senator Clarke's valentine ball. She re- piled today: The society people of New York probably need reformation as badly as any class of people in America, not excepting saloonkeepers. If they want to burlesque me when I am trying to save mems souls I do not care. They had bet ter employ their time driving vice out of their own city,"

Many DOus. Few Sheen.

Tennessee says secretary of State Norton, has one dog to every three r@rsons. There is no reason for think that Alabama has less propor-
 I. In other words, there are 100000
 tgs, roundly stated, in Alabama.
 It is said a $10 hog eats no more taan dog. If this be an exaggeration, 1t certainly can be said that 600,000 sheep could be maintained on the cost to the State of it's 6O0,0O0 dogs.
 n the one case we would have a dtal more pork and in the other case 6 deal more wool, and either would be better than 6OO,O0O dogs, which do not add to the States wealth at all.
 This may be strictly speculative question: It may be that whites as well as blacks will insist upon keeping n army of dogs instead of a like num- her of hogs or sheep, but even specala- +ie questions may be discussed, sad 2 discussion may minimize the dog evil and add to the hog or sheep az gregate. At any rate, one dog to every three persons is an undue proportion of dog, and an anti-dog crusade is need ed in Alabama much more than an anti-joint crusade in Kansas.
 As to sheep, there can be no great increase of the inoffensive woolbear- CTS while the country is full of dogs, for ~ogs are sheep destroyers, and a part of the expense of keeping dogs is the absence of sheep. While there is . dog to every three persons, there can be but few sheep. There are next to none now in the State. This is la nentable, and the dogs did it.

Historical Commission.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The General Assembly will do we'll to adopt Governor Samford's recommenda- tions regarding a historical commission, CT. Alabama has long needed a bureau of history and statistics, and now with a Governor favorable to the creation of that department there is no reason why the need should not be supplied.
 There Is much in Alabama history that should be preserved for the benefit and enlightenment of future generations, and that can best be done by a State histo- rian who is interested in the work. It will then have the advantage of official stamp and sanction. and will be more readily accepted and approved by the public.
 The Governors recommendations de- serve careful consideration.

 sense fout the united moral forces of this community, for there is not member of the Council who doesn't personally know that the saloon in question Is extremely offensive and obnoxious to the people, and that the solid moral element of Bir- mingham demands that the saloon be closed. Therefore, I am confident that the City Council will give the relief pray ed for.
 Before the Messrs. Smith began to build the new theatere the agent of the owner of the house occupied as cheap and objectionable saloon undertook that the saloon should be removed. It was an explicit and implicit understanding.
 "But apart from explicit understand ings the fact of moment to the public, the condition of most disgusting and objectionable immortality, is that this low saloon, the scene of vice and by the To- cality of former murder remains close to the principal theater of Birmingham, between the theater and the postoffice, and by its foul door the ladies and young girls of Birmingham are forced to pass and constantly compelled to witness

RECOGNIZING ROBSON.
m the Savannah Press

From the Savannah Press.
 In acknowledging the propriety of giv- ing fitting recognition to the services of Lieutenant Hobson, Secretary Long un- doubtedly expresses the sentiments of the greater part of the public. Now that the wave of excited adulation of the lieuten- ant has passed and the reaction from that period of hysteria is over, the coun- try is able to make a just estimate of the feat of the young officer. The episode of the Merrimac was one of the brilliant and daring things which have given dis- tinction to American naval history. It will never be forgotten and 1t cannot be without it's stimulating effect upon the men who take part in the naval enter prises of the future. Putting out of mind the extravagant hero-worship and the exaggerated glorification which met Hob- son after the cloce of the war, he is still to be credited with a feat of bold cour- age in a patriotic affort to serve his coun- try. It Is only fair play that his gallant performance should be recognized official ly at its true value

KING UP TO THE LIMIT.

London Letter in New York Evening
 Post.
 There are to be no leading strings for Edward VII, no prompters, mo wise old councillors" who must have everything their own way. and who would limit limited monarchy" until it became mere symbol and spectacle. True, Ed ward VII cannot run the rig that has been run by his enterprising nephew, the Kaiser, but his constitutional rights are his. and, if we are to judge from theso eleven days, he does not purpose to be at all diffident in exercising them, That as I take it, is the impression he has ere ated upon his ministers and people alike. There is a certain strangeness about IL, but on the whole England seems to like it and, as I have said, the verdict up to now is in Edwards favor.
