A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

the killing cold and damp;
can hear the tread of sentries, as

Mingling with our Christmas carols,
come these sounds across the sea,
And It seems hear the angels,
weeping DER earth's misery.
AS hear the Master saying: This ID
worse than Calvary"
Say. o Christians, can we listen
longer to their groans and cries,
Mingling with our Christmas carols,
as our sacred songs arise.
And expect the Savior's welcome. In
His home beyond the skies?
Hear His words and heed His warn
ings, ye who claim the Christian
name;
What We do to these My Children,
unto Me We do the same,
For suffer as they suffer, from the
famine, death and flame"
Say, o Christians, can we listen long
er to their dying groans
And not heed the cries of children.
and the mothers dying moans;
Careless of the Masters warning.

Third Term Movement.

This district is hard hit by the fail ure of the rivers and harbors bill, and of the Nicaragua canal bill. How much of these two failures is due to revenge on account of the ship subsidy steal, and how much to slip pery Ohio economy will never be known. It is, however, believed by all in a position to judge that Mark Hanna and President Mckinley did not Intend to let either the rivers and harbors bill or the Nicaragua bill be- come law. Congressman Bankhead puts the situation compactly when he ,ays the Republicans did not at any lime intend to press the bills.
 And yet William Mckinley is today ! candidate for third term. The re- sent interview with MT. Hanna was published with view of feeling of the public. "The President" says MT. Hanna, "can be elected to third term [ any one can be-" and the chances Ire that MT. Hanna will make the ,ffort of his life to give him an honor hat was denied to Grant and that yas not conferred upon Washington. The Ohio opportunist proposes to capegoat into a third term. He pro- )oses to unload all his mistakes on thers, taking the benefit. of all possi- ne advantages.

IRE OILY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
General Benjamin Harrison.

The death of Benjamin Harrison re- moves a man who will stand high in history. He was a man capable of many things, being both student and . profound lawyer. Added to these were gifts of oratory rarely equalled. Altogether he was the best equipped man that has come to the Presidency since the days of Lincoln. Garfield was also a man of many qualifications, but he was certainly outranked by Benjamin Harrison.
 In the course of forty years the Republicans have placed in the White House but two men of commanding ability, and that party has controlled the country almost all the time since the days of civil war. Their candi- dates are now taken from the central Mest-from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and 1t is very unlikely that they will seek candidate outsloe or tnls dictatoriaI and controlling trio of States. Out of Illinois came Lincoln, and out of Indiana, Harrison. Out of Ohio no man has come that history will hold up very conspicuously.
 AS a personal force Benjamin Harri- son grew after he left the Presidency, and there was probably no man in the country at the time of his death who could command larger audience. He spoke his convictions, and he al- ways presented, his views of public questions with force and point and skill. The country has lost strong man, an independent thinker, and an adviser who was as fearless as he was capable.

Remarkable Ex-Senator.

Former Senator Thomas B. Hurley Of Tennessee arrived in Birmingham yester- day morning and spent the day in the city, proceeding last night to his home in Memphis. In the afternoon he saw something of Birmingham, visiting the principal business and residential quar- ters.
 MT. Hurley has been one of the many ex-Senators just ten days, his term hav- ing expired March 4, upon which date he gave place to E. W. Carmack, the young red-headed newspaper Senator who out Atkinsoned Atkinson in violent pro-Fili- pino utterances. MT. Hurley was not a candidate for reelection, having been satisfied with three years and eighteen days in the Senate as successor to Isham G. Harris. He was perhaps the only Sem ator who when elected resided in the town in which he was born, he having been born in Memphis fifty-six years ago., and Memphis being still his home. More over, he was perhaps the only private Confederate soldier, except James K. Jones of Arkansas, who served in the United States Senate. A yet more re- markable fact concerning this distin- guished man is that the United States Senatorship was the only civil office he ever held. He is accounted a man of great intellectual ability.

A MILLIoN.DoLLAR MISTAKE.

Special Correspondence Leslie's Weekly
 Washington-Either remarkable lack of foresight on the part of certain naval officials ten years ago. or political engi- neering to confer benefits on a South Carolina sea town will cost the Ameri- can government pretty penny, for the South Atlantic naval station at Port Royal, s. C., is to be abandoned. Ac- cording to the programme already formu- lated, Charleston, on the ocean edge of the Palmetto State, Is to replace Port Royal as a haven for the fighting ships of Uncle Sam.
 The Port Royal station was begun ten years since, and nearly million dollars has been spent to build and maintain it. It is said that the site was originally rec commended by the late Rear Admiral Por- ter, but the fact of its adoption and de- velopment from year to year, with an enormous expenditure of money, indi- cates that the directors of the American naval establishment considered the place fit and the project good one.
 The naval appropriation act of 1900 au- thorized Secretary Long to appoint a board of officers to examine into the ex- pediency of changing the Port Royal sta tion to some other point in the state of South Carolina, at or near Charleston Rear Admiral Frederick Rodgers was made the president of an inquiry board of seven members, which held sessions covering a long period, made trips to Port Royal and vicinity, took testimony pro and con, on the removal proposition, and finally rendered a favorable report on the transfer last month.
 The counts against Port Royal are: That the costly dry dock is in bad con- dition and has never been perfectly satis- factory; that the battleship Indiana grounded in the river In 1894, after leaving dock; that there is a dangerous bar to pass in entering the channel from the sea, which makes 1t unsafe for navigation by large and heavy fighting vessels of the present type; that much expensive dredg- ing would be necessary to make 1t a safe accommodation for warships; that there is only rain water available as supply for the station that the place has no direct railroad connection, and that the supply of skillful labor in the event of emergencies is not sufficiently abundant
 The board admits in its report favorine abandonment that the naval station is ap- praised at $949, ,Ooo-the dry dock alone be- ing valued at $51S,000, and that. in the event of a transfer, this would be useless.

Negro Gives Some Startling Evidence In Murder Trial.

Burlington, Kan. March 13.-In the trial of James Harris for the murder of negro janitor of the county jail, swore that Harris had told him the details of the plot and the murder numerous times, and that Harris claimed to be very much in love with Mrs. Allen. the wife of the murdered man. Mrs. Allen was acquitted yesterday on the charge of instigating the murder, Harris refusing to testify against her. Holt also testified that Harris had told him he would play insane at the trial and would refuse to talk at all Harris refusal to testify against Mrs. Allen was explained by a statement made to Holt that he was so much under her control that he could say nothing against her in her presence. Sheriff Green and other witnesses swore that Harris had made a confession to them.

Primary Law Unsatisfactory.

From the Selma Times.
 Jefferson County has primary law all by its lone self. And it's one of these tight-bound kind where a fellow can make plenty of trouble for himself by monkeying with it, and the politicians around Birmingham don't like it at all They wanted one of the neutral kind one like some of the other counties have "a kind that has a good many directions for the "other fellows" but few penal ties. They thought they were getting that kind, but they 'miscued" and got what they didn't want by large majority. It seems to be the consensus of opinion among the disgruntled politicians up there that the law will have the effect of discouraging the primary plan of nomt- mating candidates. There's not a doubt about that. It would be powerfully dis couraging. Down here In Dallas such a law would drive us back to the conven- ton plan quick What is wanted In a law of that kind is elasticity, where a fellow can have elbow room, but this Jefferson law has none. hence the kick.

Constitutional Convention Delegates.

Unless strong men are sent to the convention today from this county, it may safely be assumed that the con vention plan will not be again tried here. It was permitted this time with out a serious revolt, because of the prevailing apathy over the subject; and if the politicians take advantage of it to stuff the delegation with mere ballot box schemes they will not get another chance. The primary is after all the only trustworthy method.
 The composition of the convention will be carefully studied, and unless it represents the thought and intelli- gence and patriotism of the State. it will be condemned at the outset. The politicians should keep their hands and practices off it.

The Security of the State.

Therefore I return to my theme, the security of the State in the action of the sub-commonwealth of Jefferson today. Alabama expects us to take notice that the General Assembly takes liberties of an offensive character with the constitu- tion. For instance, the constitution pre- scribes a f1fty-day limit to the biennial session of the General Assembly. with $4 per diem to members. Our General As sembly sat fifty days in it's last meeting, but each member drew s4 per diem for sixty-seven days. If seventeen extra days by rule of three is to justice and right as 365 days Is to law and order, why not stand up for law and order? If $26S is constitutional pay, when the constitution fixes $2OO as the limit, why is not each and every day from August election to August election biennially constitutional pay day? Could the General Assembly, for instance, meet in Pensacola to con slider the annexation movement? Yet, as officers of Alabama, the members did visit that town on full pay, the same as If in their places in the Capitol. The sher- if may leave the State on official duty, the Governor may do likewise, but no special statute in the case provided is competent to enable a Legislator to draw pay on pleasure excursion, and in my opinion, however humble, the auditor may always stop the payment demanded and be sustained by the courts. These mat ters, connected with others, such as theft of bills passed and before enrolment, amendment of bills by individuals in pro- cess of enrolment, naturally bring the people to suspect our legislative bodies. Of the present General Assembly, its ex- travagance, it's failures to act and its action, too often:
