 With summer breeze, Il brings
 A frost and freeze,
 At F o'clock
 We go to lunch
 With all this wealth
 Er in a bunch. So, give me all the clothing I'm lucky to possess, And keep your eye upon my path For signals of distress, For in this chopped-up weather We soak and freeze and parch, And no man knows what's due to come An afternoon in March.

At Highwood they would have found all the old and several new sa- looms filled with soldiers drinking and gambling in the company of vile char acters of both sexes Later in the night they would have found in the Fort Sheridan barracks more drunken sleep CTS and more men absent without leave than have been recorded for years.

Edmunds on Trusts.

Boston Herald.
 Ex- Senator Edmunds propounds comfortable theory about the trusts. They will work out the problem tnelh- selves in manner. They will go through the same transformation that the railroads did few years ago. l think experience has shown that in all big combinations of this kind 1t IS found that they are very prosperous for a time at the start, then they be- gin to fall behind, and finally they go to pieces" If this is sound philosophy we .nee Int bother much about the trusts. except to see that they do not become too intolerably oppressive in the short duration of their prosperity. We do not know to what railroad eX- perience he alhIdes There have been sundry railroad agreements or treaties between independent lines that have gone to pieces, but the absorption and consolidation of independent lines into one system. under one ownership, has been going on lately as never before, and properties so consolidated are. i'll their extent and operation, a new rath- CT than an old experience, and their re- version to the former competitive state does not now appear probable. But if the gigantic trusts are to be only temporarily prosperous. and are sure to go to pieces after a time. there Is woe ahead for some persons. Prob

NO MARTYRDoM FOR HIM.

There is no little misunderstanding and transformation OF the subject of freedom of speech" and not a few people get themselves and others into trouble on account of their ignorance. There are those who really seem to think that they have an inalienable constitutional right to say just what they please and where they please, pro- vided what they say is not personally offensive to any one present, and that no one has right to interfere with them, even though they may make of themselves and their speech a nuisance or a menace to the public and to good order.
 Recently in Detroit, one Thomas Bawden was enjoined by one of the courts against speaking at a certain place in the city. He was advocating the single-tax theory, and complains that he is being persecuted on account of his political belief, and that he is prevented and prohibited from enjoy ing that freedom of speech which is guaranteed by the Constitution to all ClllZeUSs III SHOily le IS trying 10 pose as a martyr.
 It was shown to the court that the place where Bawden held his har- rangues is a public highway, and that the crowds which assembled to listen to him were frequently so large and dsorderly that travel and traffic were suspended, and the public, as well as those living and doing business near by, wv.- Seriously inconvenienced. It was shown that the injunction sought was in no sense on account of the mat ter of Bawden's speeches, but on ac- count of the number and behavior of the listeners.
 To his plea that he was being de- prived of the right of free speech, the Judge very properly replied that the right of speech was not more sacred than some other rights. and that when public speaker draws a crowd which interferes with the convenience of the public and prevents other citizens from carrying on their legitimate business.

THIS ONE LEADS.

The Anniston Hot Blast waltzes to the front with the biggest snake story of the season, thus far sent in. The street overseer found a den of snakes. and the paper says: The number of snakes killed as claimed by Mir. Cooper. is by his actual count 19S l small ones, ranging rom three inches to one foot in length, and six that were four and half feet long and which were four inches in diameter at the thickest part of their bodies. He said that four more of these larger ones escaped in the water near by.
 Of course, the largest ones got away. They always do. whether 1t is snakes or fish, and this is no exception to the rule. we'll stand a wager. And if any body doubts the story, he is invited by The Hot Blast to 'go out to the corner of Twelfth and Brown Streets and have it verified" We've no doubt they could find the hole the snakes came out of, if anyone wants proof of the story.
 And, as if that was not enough. our contemporary declares. that they also found a frog as large as the crown of mans hat and a rat as big as squir- rel. What brand do they drink in An niston?

A REMEDY SUGGESTED.

As there seems little probability of getting an adequate electric street-car service, we offer the only solution that presents itself. Let the City Council abolish the present system and adopt an ordinance requiring mules used as a motive power. There is much to be said in favor of this apparent retro gression. for it would be more apparent than real.
 The first advantage is reliability. Mules do not go very swiftly. but they do go and they keep a doin' it." They don't stop every time string breaks, or when it rains, and leave cars scat tered all over town with passengers in good temper to violate all the com mandments. They wouldn't carry a load of passengers to Highland Park, or Cloverdale. or anywhere else and leave them there till somebody could mend broken tow-line.. They wouldn't stop a car at the middle of a trip and leave it there while some employe hunt ed through the stable and along the line for broken lapring. In short, mules, while not as quick as lightning. are infinitely more reliable than the street car system We have in Montgomery. Another great advantage is the ques- tion of safety, and that is one not to be lightly disposed of. It is true that a mules heels are monstrous uncertain quantities, but they are not promis- cuous, as 1t were. They are not dan gerous to the passengers, and they are not scattered all over the city, ready at all times to break loose and bring death to an unsuspecting citizen. The mules heels may be lawless, but their operations are limited. And so we might go on and pile up reasons for the suggested change, but any citizen of Montgomery can supply them without much trouble. If not, let him start to dinner on car and stop halfway while conductor and motorman play mumble-peg and wait for a current, or let him take his family out some warm afternoon and stop mile from home, to be informed that he can walk
 back or come to town for hack. There are plenty of reasons, and any one can find them without a search | warrant.

THE WORK COMPLETED.

The Convention has virtually com- pleted the work of amending and re- vising the Constitution of the State, for it only remains now to consider it when presented as a whole by the Commit tee which has to bring all its parts into harmony and consistency. This will require several days, and consequently adjournment has been taken until We'd nesday, the 2sth inst.
 The members of the Convention have been engaged in a patriotic work, and they will be entitled to the thanks and grtitude of the people of the State. What they. have done, must be taken as the best that could be done under ali the circumstances surrounding them and controlling in the various locali- ties of the State. All were striving for the common end of bettering condi- tions, and especially of securing purity in elections and elevating the fran chise.
 The Advertiser will support the pro- posed Constitution with all the ability and force it can bring to bear There may be things in it which we would have in different shape, but those who do not get exactly what they want must remember that the new instru- ment is infinitely better than the one under which we are now living. With that belief having general lodgment in the minds of the people, there can be but little doubt of it's ratification.

The Advertiser of yesterday con tained some editorial references to an extract from The Geneva Reaper, based upon the idea that the negro re- gently Iynched by a mob in Coffee County was "trusty" and given cer- tain privileges which should not have been accorded to him. We are glad to learn that the negro was not "trusty," but an escaped convict, and the further fact that no "trusty'' is now given such liberty as will take him from the super vision of guards. or allow him to sleep at night without being locked up with other convicts.

In the Hotel Lobbies column of The Birmingham Age-Herald of yesterday was a statement to the effect that the town of Mooresville, in North Ala bama, objected to the Memphis and Charleston Railroad running through it's limits, and even paid round sum of money in order to keep it mile off. When the railroad from Montgomery to West Point was being built, away back in the sos, the town of Tuskegee' in Macon County, was the site of sev- eral splendid institutions of learning, as well as the abiding place of great many wealthy planters. The most direct route for the road was through Tuskegee, but it's citizens so violently opposed the idea that the road was To- cated six miles to the west of that lovely little city. It was reached by stage and carriage line from Chehaw, the nearest railroad station. Soon after the war. some enterprising citizens of Tuskegee built a narrow guage road out to Chehaw and quite recently the guage has been changed to the stand ard now in vogue, so that Tuskegee has direct rail communication with the outside world.

then he has transcended his rights and can be legally restrained.
 The Judge was right, and we predict that Bawdens efforts to pose as a martyr will. fall to the ground. De- troit is large city. and any one knows that a single-taxer or any other kind of taxer, can find halls or vacant places where all who wish to hear him can do so without let or hinsrance. At the same time, no thinking person will claim that the use of the streets can be habitually taken from the pub lie merely because a man chooses that place to hold a meeting.
