 Their Wives Are StarWng.

London, July 2s-Kfng Edward present. ed medals to 500 returned yeomanry at the Horse Guards parade here today. The ceremonial was the same as observed ct tho former, presentation of medals, but the indictment weather robbed the func- ton of its brdr1iancy. Queen Alexandra and Prince Edward, son of the Duke of Cornwall and York. were present
 Considerable comment has been aroused by the refusal of thirty-two nnr,-commis- stoned officers and men to intend the cere- niony on the ground that their pay was in arrears These men have addressed letters to King Edward pointing out that they cannot submit to be decorated while their wives and families and snme of fhetr numbers arc starving.
 The claims of the men who say they have not yet been paid vary from f63 to ff2Z So1np of the claimants allege they had to pawn their earlier medals in order to procure food for their families.

Nh Elanman at East BirmInaham:

The coroner and his jury have hot at this writing apportioned the blame for the distressing slaughter at the East Birmingham crossing Between tRe railroad company and the trolley e.4i. pany; but it is plain that the public authorities in that quarter are the ones really and deeply responsible for the death of the negro woman and for the wounding of other imprisoned passen- gers in the trolley car:
 The crossing Is one open to similar accidents any day in the year. It Is shut in,' the view in either iifect.sA being obstructed by mill buildings It is a crossing much used by both com panies, and it should be guarded by a fagman. The absence of a fagman, which the authorities have the right to require, was the cause of the acci- dent.
 The coroner's jury may not take this view of the case, but it Is nevertheless the correct view of it. In no other city of like size are dangerous cross ings permitted to go unwatched. Such a slaughter as that at East Birming- ham has long oeen anticipated, and the only wonder is that 1t had not come sooner and in worse form. Others will follow, because it is we'll established that the public authorities will not do their duty in relation to crossings in or near this town.

 Macbeth.
f!e Mixed Them Up.


 In communication published in the Montgomery Advertiser Congressman Bowie says:
 The merit of the Alabama plan, then, is this: A white man offers to register. He is first asked can you read and write? Eighty-seven per cent, according to the Federal census, answers yes. The ,re- maning thirteen per cent present them selves. They are asked, Do you pay taxes on s3o5 worth of real or personal property, or on forty acres of land, or does your wife do so? I have no exact figures at hand. but q safe estimate is that three per cent of the whole number will an- swer In the affirmative. We have then ninety per cent of whites registered. The other ten per cent come forward. Did you serve in the Mexican war, the Civil war, or the war with Spain? Half of this remainder will answer yes. They too are registered. The other half comes forward Are you the descendent of any soldier or sailor of the war of 1S12 the Mexican war or the Civil war? Will there be a one to answer no? Probably none. But per chance there may be few Then these are permitted to show their good charac- ter
 This sketch of the proposed registra- tion proceedings is strictly an effort of MT. Bowie's wierd imaginative pow CTS. It may not be poetlcal, but 1t is highly imaginative. Nothing of that sort could occur under the proposed plan. Under that plan even Mr. Weatherly is in doubt whether he would be permitted to vote before 1904 and 19Oo.
 MT. Bowie should read the majority scheme, It is intricate to limit, and lcng and complex, but if he puts in double time he may be able to master it. Few can, but the splendid repre- sentative of the Fourth District is one of the few. Mir. Bowie should ascer- L.. that the 1902 scheme has great ,,itempt for reading and writing and property owning. and that scheme is tho only one that creates a life elec- torate. The 'lifers'' are to be old sol diers and sons" and men of good character who understand tho duties and obligauons of citizenship under a republican form of government" MT. Weathcrly thinks this clause might be "too many" for him, and surely test that outweathers MT. Weatherly would be very strenuous when applied to the rest of us.
 After 1902 no life electors are se- lected, and the scheme is changed to educational and property tests. MT. Bowie's sketch of the registration pro- ceed.ngs of 1902 is so incorrect that it amounts to broad travesty. In those proceedings are applied the grand father clause of Louisiana and the un- derstanding clause of Mississippi, and the latter is seven times at least in tensified in the pending majority plan. Let MT. Bowie try again. Let him curb his imaginative powers, and come down to the rock basis of fact His de- scription of registration proceedings may fit those of the moon, but it cer- tainly does not fit any that the ma jority have proposed. MT. Bowie should cease to mix those babies up, as Little Buttercup did. The temporary baby is not tho permanent baby and vice each baby stand hereafter on it's own bottom.

 THE CRAZE FOR BlGMEss- From the Brooklyn Eagle
 The increase of the capital stock of the First National Bank of New York from $500. 900 to s10.0000oo was probably made be- cause there were two other banks here with the same capital. namely, the Ma tional City Bank. of which James 6tiitman is president, and the National Bank of Commerce whose president is Joseph c. Hendrix But the increase in capital is more a matter of bookkeeping than of anything else. According to the figures in the Eagle Almanac, the stock of the First National is worth s3.eo0 share. This makes the market valne of the banks stock $1S,O00,00O What the lank has done has been to divide each share of stock into twenty shares. This will re- duce the market value of share. but will not affect the value of she holdings of any stockholder, while it will make the bank seem bigger fnsssS l4aesl te those who do not know very rfs5ch about bank values. Then. too. it VIII facilitate the purchase and sale of the stock. The Chemical Bank. whose capital is s30OO and whose shares sell for ss.975, might fol- low the example of the Irirst National and make its capital stock sto ,100.Ooe with out reducing to par the value of it's shares. It remains to be seen whether it will be seized with tho craze for big ness and ds this.
