COUNT LEO ToLsTops PLAN.

From The London News Berlin Telegram
 Count Leo Tolstoi has left Moscow and removed to Yassnaia Poliana. The peas- ants of the village who, thanks to the school built by Count Tolstoi, and In for mer years managed by him, can all read and write, wished to offer the aged poet an ovation in order to make protest against his communication, but they were prevented by the authorities Count Tolstois health has lately improved and he is able to devote the greater part of the day to his literary work. The completion of the drama, "The Corpse" he has post poned indefinitely but he is working hard at the novel, "Pater Sergius," which Is to appear in a Moscow review. During the last few days Count Tolstoi has received the visits of distinguished Russians, who have been to Yassnaia Poliana to express their sympathy. His wellknown disciple, Prince Chilkoff, who has established Tolstoian colonies in the government of Charkoff now proposes to found similar colonies in the Caucasus, but 1t is seri- ously doubted whether he will be allowed. Some of the Metropolitans have already protested against his activity.

CARELESS IN ATTIRE.

From the New York Sun
 Though Wall street men dress well as a rule, the brokers who do most of their work on the floors of the several ex- changes seem at times like mobs of ol' cloes men. Antique coats, rumpled and rusty, are the rue any old thing that will stand the strain of much elbowing and some pulling and hauling Later in the day these men make themselves more presentable 1t Is only while they are busy with the gymnastics of buying and selling that they are disreputabe look ing lot One must go, though. to the New York Real Estate Salesroom in the basement of the Trinity building to see the choicest specimens of ancient and sorry attire. There you may look on men who, if they wished, could array themselves In the finest of garments sand come and go In automobiles. but they do not care for that sort of thing. They can read their titles clear to lots and houses, they are at the real estate auction room with money in their pocket ready to take title to more lands; why need they care for dress?

A Noble Alabama Couple.

Tomorrow will be the 10th birthday Of Mrs. Howze. the wife of the venerable Judge John Howze of Perry County, and mother of Judge A. Z Howze of Birming- ham, who Is a delegate in the Alabama Constitutional Convention.
 Mrs Howzes birthday will be cele- brated by a private barbecue In the grounds of the splendid old home of the Howzcs in Marion, in the backyard of the mansion, In fact. which Is large enough to accommodate a thousand guests.
 Fify-siX years ago Judge John Howze was married to the beautiful Miss Clay ton of Greensboro, Georgia. The Claytons have lived at Greensboro for nearly two centuries. Their old family mansion there was built in the middle of the 18th cen tury; that Is to say, more than hun dred and fifty years ago, and in 1t were entertained Lafayette, Andrew Jackson and a host of celebrities, first and last.
 Friends all over Alabama of Judge John howze and Mrs Howze and of their dis tinguished son, Judge A. 2. Howze of Birmingham, will extend their heartiest congratulations to Mrs. Howze on being seventy-fve years young, and having been fifty-sx years welded! These two are lovers still after more than half century as husband and wife.

Sectional Comment.

Such cases as that in Elmore county affords occasion for unfavorable com ment that is more or less hurtful to this section of the country. Those who do not see a wioe variety of papers do not know how extensive and damaging such comment is. Much of 1t IS no doubt honestly presented, but much of it is in the direct interest of the north west or other sections of the country I've give below a good example of such comment taken from the Toronto, Canada, Sun:
 In the Springfield Republican the ques- ton is being debated whether the war of secession was inevitable. Inevitable it was if slavery was to be suppressed. Had the suppression of slavery been matter of dollars alons, it might have been ef- fected at a cost infinitely less than the cost of the war. But it was not a mat ter of dollars alone. Slavery was social organization, rooted in racial sentiment and class pride. Nor, when the indemnity had been paid, would there have been any guarantee against practical revival of the institution such as we see now going on in defiance of constitutional amend ment What was not inevitable was the mismaragement, in passionate hands, of the work of reconstruction. The result has shown that instead of treating the negro at once as full citizen, and even trying, as an extreme party did, to make him dominant over the white, he should have been treated, provisionally at least as ward of the state. Personal and in dustriai rights should have been given him by law. They might have been se- cured by the establishment in each South ern state of an authority representing the Federal government, with power to evoke causes, criminal causes at all events in which a negro was concerned. It Is on- ly the impotence of party government that prevents something of the kind from being done now, while yet there is time to ward off the catastrophe which, if this deadly war of races is allowed to continue, can hardly be long deferred.
 This reads well. It seems to be the impartial judgment of thinker and a humanitarian; but it may have been written for the purpose of turning the tide of Canadian emigration, which is heavy, from the South to the north west. At any rate such cases as that in Elmore but invite damaging com ment, and Governor Jelks will deserve the thanks of all good men if he sue ceed in bringing the men guilty of tha
 crime to punishment. Mere proclama
 tion cannot do it. Real detective ac
 tion is needed.

"The Sou :"

"Mr. Asquth Is one of the ablest and best men in all England. He was one of Gladstone's young men in politics of twenty years ago, and although he will be forty-nine next September, he Is still young man as English politics go. Mir Asquith was about forty when he mar ried Miss Margot Remnant, daughter of Sir John Tennant, the richest commoner in Scotland.
 Miss Tennant, MT. Asquith, Arthur James Balfour, the Tory leader, and Lord Roseberry, the Gladstonian prime minis ter, a singular combination as regards politics, were formerly The Souls of English society and advanced thought The Souls were and still are devoted personal friends, and together they have exercised a powerful influence upon Eng fish thought. No other country in the world can show In public life three such scholarly and intellectual men, or men of such great talents in literature, as Lord Roseberry, Mir. Balfour and Mr Asquith. Either of them could have won enduring fame in literature without the aid of high social and political station And they are statesmen who have proved time and time again that they are above political uncleanliness and the coarser forms of trickery.

Census of Consumption.

The State commissioner of health in New York is engaged in taking cen sus that will embrace fundamental facts in cases of pulmonary tubercu- losis in that State. Blanks are sent out to every member of the medical profession of the State. The object is not to obtain a personal registry of consumption, nor to institute system of sanitary inspection or isolation, but the desire is to obtain an accurate es- timale of the number affected, together with a history of surrounding circum- stances.
 The blanks asks for the initials only of a patient, age, sex, home, occupa- tion, nativity, duration of the disease, source of infection, family history of tuberculosis, if others of the household are affected, sanitary surroundings, if the patient lives in a tenement house, precautions to prevent spread or the disease, and the name of the attending physician.
 The state commissioner of health hopes to obtain full statistics, as he be- lieves every physician fully appre- ciates the value of the inquiry, and will have confidence in the State de- partment of health.
 It would not be difficult or expen- sive task to take a similar census in Alabama, and a contrast between the figures of New fork and of Alabama would be both interesting and useful While consumptives are met at every hand in New York, they are rare in this State, but no general statement would be so convincing as a census officially gathered by the State health officer.

Trolley FreiQht Service.

As the trolley lines are increased in number and are extended farther and still farther into the rural districts, it begins to be seen that they are to serve as freight as well as passenger conyeniences. The freight service on our own Ensley, Bessemer and East Lake lines well illustrate the feasibil- ity of the plan. No communities are better served by way of freight trains than are the people of these lines, and they would part very unwillingly with the freight service they have become accustomed to. A similar movement is seen in every State near every town that has a trolley system, and nearly every town above 5000 people is secur- ing one.
 The trolley road supplants, not the railroad, but the wagon in the distri- button of food supplies, and especially of small packages. A trolley line of Cleveland, Ohio, operating about 60 miles of track, originally designed for passengers only, has become also a milk carrying road. The line passes through many a farm in reaching su- burbs, very much as our Bessemer lines do, and service has been put on that carries milk from these farms to Cleveland, and returns the cans. The milk cars are never seen in the day time. They do not in the least interfere with the passenger service. The milk cars became at last combina. ton cars, carrying milk in one end and various sorts of freight in the other and then cars were built carrying light packages in one end and passen- gers in the rest of the car.

 But I was struck by the appearance of the fair and gentle waitress who sup piled me with cold roast beef and pota- toes and a tankard of ale; and when l had finished my meal I asked the provost of the town to tell me who the waitress was The good man looked shocked and for a moment regarded me with evident pity.

 Further extensions or expansions of trolleys as freight distributors are go ing on in various parts of the country and the belief is that in the long run the horse will be relegated to the farms, with a few high-class members of the species serving in the towns in pleasure driving, although the automo bile threatens even the permanency oi the la- .er use.

sTEYN's BROTHER CAUGHT. Broadwood's Brigade Surprised Him and Captured Important Papers.

London, July 1.-The War Office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated at Pretoria:
 "Broadwood's brigade surprised Reits, capturing Steyn's brother and others. Steyn escaped in his shirt sleeves with one other man only. The so-called Or ange government papers were captur- ed''
 Lord Kitchener also reports that Schep- ers' commando Gas announced in the Associated Press dispatches early last week. burned the public buildings in Mur- raysburg, Cape Colony. and some farm houses in the vicinity.

Dlstrust of the Convention.

'Macaulay sings of Rome as 1t was In the age when none was for the party and all were for the State and the sentiment might be respectfully referred to the Ala bama constitutional convention, which clearly promises ito be the graveyard of political reputations' said a man of the non offlce-seel1ing public yesterday.
 AS everybody knows some of the very wisest and best men of Alabama are dele gates in the convention, and the questions are being asked over and over again in these restless days of suspicion and open rlistTust of the convention, If we cannot trust certain men who are delegates, to whom shall the people turn? Who Is to lead the great mass of voters demanding honesty In elections rather than the per petuation of d courthouse ollgarchy In every county?'
 The people demand constitution which above all things shall establish and permanently assure honest elections; but 1t looks alarmingly like they are to be given constitution which shall keep political bosses In power and the office holding class in office, wita the profess  ional office seekers dancing attendance In the hope of filling such vacancies as death or the bosses may create.
 There are men in this State, and men whose names are familiar, who have been either holding or seeking office ever since 1S75 and corruption in politics is infinitely worse than it was when political necessi- ty, the preservation of government by the white race, first made 1t warrantable; for during the past ten years white men have been cheating white men in primaries and conventions and at the polls in practically every county in Alabama. All this has been in violation of the law.
 But now 1t is seriously proposed by the suffrage committee of the constitutional convention to throw legal safeguards around fraud, by means of the autocratic and unwarraneable registration scheme that is perhaps without parallel in so- called free government

 Immediately after the horse was hitch ed the beast bit the bark of of more than half around the tree, and the tree will die.
 "The policeman called to the horse, as If respectfully asking him not to gnaw the bark off the shade tree. Then the policeman entered house, and the horse proceeded in his work of destroying the tree.
 50 the police of Birmingham, charged by law to protect the shade trees from vandal drivers of horses, are themselves destroying the trees by hitchng horses to them

Tariff Question Will Come Up.

The Chinese-wall crowd of protec- tionists, including of course the trusts, are exceedingly anxious to keep off all tariff revision in the present Congress. They say with Mark Hanna, or rather Mark Hanna says with them, "the sa- cred instrument must not be touched" ," The infant industries still want protec- tion. even the Schwab billiondollar in- fant.
 But they will not begratified. The Russian tariff war will bring it up, and so will the Cuban tariff treaty, and the rorto Rican tariff bill All of these will operate to raise the entire ques- tion, and even Mark Hanna and ad- ministration patronage cannot keep it down.
 Secretary Cages action in imposing countervaling duties on Russian sugar will be we'll ventilated in the long ses- sion. and much truth will be brought ont. Perhaps the most ludicrous feat ure of the case is presented when our Chinese-wall protectionists denounce Russia's tendency to erect a Chinese wall of her own. Just why Russia should not have a Chinese tariff wall when we have one of the most auda- cious sort, does not appear. At any rate we are not in a good position to object to Chinese walls anywhere or of any sort We began it, and our Dingley wall has never been equaled not even in the days of the robbel barons of the Rhine did anything ap proach it. It stands today the boldes and nakedest "hold up" in the history of economic legislation.
 The Cuban tariff treaty will neces sarily come up, and here will arise big fight on the part of the tariff bar ons to maintain what they now call their rights-the right to collect at will from home consumers profits on watered stocks and bonds. When we make a trade treaty with Cuba even MT. Dalzell, the present day Dingley sees trouble ahead. Mir. Dalzell ex poets to be next writer not only second of the ways and means committee but also a member of the committee or rules, and he announces his intention to throttle tariff revision. But he car not throttle the Russian question, nol the Cuban question, not even the Por to Rican question. The tariff problem .s uestined to come before the country to be agitated in 1902 and definitely settled perhaps in 1904. It and the trusts will come up together, and what applies to one will apply to the other for one is but the natural and logica outgrowth of the other.

HAVE BECOME BRITISH SUBJECT,

 Journal.
 According to official returns just npb- lished in London, no less than twentv-sjx citizens of the United States have. during the past twelve months. fore sworn their allegiance to Uncle Sam and secured British letters of naturalization. with the object, presumably, of further ing their social aspirations in England. For, beginning with Washington Singer, they are all men of wealth and affiuence who, like William Waldorf Astor, whose example they have followed, derive most. if not all, their income from the land of their birth.
 Yet the experience of William Waldorf Astor shold have taught them that in- stead of improving their social pros poets in England, they are. on the con- trary. gravely compromising them by their contemptuous. not to say contemp- tible, abandonment of that American birthright which is so highly prized by

EDUCATIONAL MATRiMoNY.

 In Russia, if girl desires to study at either of the universities etiquette re- ou,res that she should be married. Ac- cordingly, she goes through the civil form of marriage with one of the men students whom she may never have seen before, and perhaps may never speak to again. These marriages are perfectly legal, and if the contracting parties like each other they are united for life, but otherwise the marriage is dissolved when their uni- versity course Is finished, and both are free to marry again.

the people of the Old World who come to this couutry-and even by those who re- main on wonder side of the Atlantic.
 Americans, especially since the Spanish war, have become personages in Europe They are the most "distinguished'' of foreigners in England, no matter what their social status in the United States, and provided they are wellbred and presentable, they are welcomed by the greatest people in England on a footing of social equality.
 This Is solely because they are Ameri- can. From the moment that they cease to be citizens of the Unitd States and se- cure letters of English naturalization they cease, ipso facto, to be regarded as distinguished strangers" and become mere niddle-class Englishmen, and as such subject to all the prejudices or caste. There are many English people of rank who were perfectly willing to as- sociate with Washington Singer in so- cial way and on terms of equality While he was still distinguished Engnshman by assertion, will decline to continue the relations on the ground that he IS not or their class and the son of mere sewing machine manufacturer.
 William Waldorf Astor forfeited the greater portion of whatever social pres tige he had acquired in England as an American when he became an English man. and Washington Singer and his two dozen fellow-deserters from the Ameri- can flag will meet the same experlence' for neither the English nor, in fact any people on wonder side of the Atlantic' have any respect for men who' having received the inestimabe privilege or citizenship of the United States as their birthright, are willing to barter 1t away in the vain hope of furthering their soclal asntrations,
