JUNGLE JERRY"

From the Chicago Tribune
 One of the permanent residents of the White House at Washington is Uncle Jerry" the old colored man who came to Washington as a footman to President Grant and has been there ever since. Uncle Jerry still thinks Grant was the biggest man who ever sat in the Presi- dents chair. He calls the great soldier the general of the world" His next fa- vorites among the White House occu- pants are President and Mrs. Cleveland. He makes an exception in their case, for naturally he Is a Republican. Few of the mistresses of the White House pay much attention to the housekeeping in the man sion, according to Uncle Jerry "Dey comes down to de kitchen once when dey first comes and pays der specks to de servants. Den dey goes back and stays away fuh a year or two.' Mrs Hayes was the most charitable woman whom Jerry" has koown in the White House. She used to come downstairs roll up her sleeves, and with her own hands fill bas- kets full of good things for the poor. For President Mckinley Uncle Jerry" de- clares that he lis the best man ever saw to his pretty wife"

men, and the Democratic party stands pledged against that. And while na. tive citizens should not be subjected to an intelligence test in a State that has been and still is backward in the matter of public education, yet there might be a population in this district itself that would be unfit for citizen ship. If the development of this dis trict becomes pressing, it may be nee essary to All the mines at least with Poles, Huns and Slovaks generally, and these people. even if they can read, do not understand the principles of this government, and would not be intelligent or competent voters. Such whites should be disfranchised. They should study first the American plan of government.
 The understanding clause of Missis- sippi and South Carolina fits the case. Under 1t citizen must as a prellml- nary condition be able to explain in- telligently any clause of the State constitution that may be read to him. As this applies to all colors and classes it has been held to be constitutional. It is open to objections. Its applica- tion Is manifestly not impartial. But still it is constitutional, and it is eff cient, as the history of Mississippi shows, where it has been in operation ten years. It is better than "the grandfather clause, Awhichis rank class or caste rule. The understanding qualification is the more probable out come of the convention. It is not ideal, but it will win it's way if no one has a better plan to suggest.

The Heflins. Father and Son.

Yesterday was the 73d birthday of the distinguished Dr. Wilson l.. Hefln of Randolph County, the father of the sev- erol young men of his honored name who are so distinguished in the public life of Alabama; and last night he and his sons celebrated the anniversary by family dinner at the Morris Hotel in this city, which was one of the happiest Of all real or imaginable events
 Dr. w. I. Heln's sons are, in the or der of their age, Dr. Wyatt Heflin. late president of the Jefferson County Med ical Society; Hon. Harrington P. Hefiin states solicitor for Jefferson County Rev. Walter Heiin of Jefferson; Hon John T. Hefin of Randolph; Dr. Howell Hef1in of Birmingham; Hon. J. Thomas Hefiin of Chambers; MT. Robert Heflin and Rev. Marvin Hefln of Jefferson. As suredly the father of so many worthy sons has In them given to the State great honor and distinguished service
 The father, Dr. w. L. Hefin. began the practice of medicine when he was 1e years old, and therefore he has given three and fifty years of his happy, hon ored and useful life to the healing of his peopIe and today he enters upon his sev- enty-fourth year as vigorous and as full of life and of human Kindness as if he were but beginning his remarkable ca reer. Truly it has been an enviable life he has lived! He has been highly sue cessful in all praiseworthy ways. and in the afternoon of his long career he sees his many sons leading lives of usefulness and winning large measure of fame.

This Dsy's Great Lesson.

Goethe died sixty-nine years ago today, and no one who loves books can do better than reread Faust for the lesson it teaches of the awful peril that besets the way of the transgressor, forever hard and suggestive of the light of reparation and pardon that may shine upon the end of even the transgressor's course through life. The best of as are transgressors, and they are po9r indeed who will not accept the only means of pardon under heaven whereby men and women may be saEe4. se
 r,f And there is another fact in the great life of the immortal poet-lover of Ger many with which too few of us are fla miliar and to which fewer still give that heed that would lessen lifes burden of doubt and unrest. That is the imper- ishable story of the bridge that fell Within some two and twenty. minutes after the bridge crashed into the river which it spanned, Goethe interviewed about a score of eye-witnesses of the &C., cident and no two persons of all those witnesses told the same story of the par ticulars which they personally observed. The moral suggests itself instantly to every mind, and recalls Carlyle's sneering and pessimistic dictum that Flame is an accident and history a compilation of rumors. The religious Carlyle referred to protane history, and the value of his wise observation is of surpassing mer- 1t in the everyday life of everybody-in the lives of all of us. It is needful to remember this when we hear evil reports concerning one another

MIsslssipp!,s Plan of Reform.

There cannot 5e too much study be, tween this time and the day in May when the constitutional convention will meet of plan of suffrage reform adapted to this State.

sTArEHoUsE TOBACCO cHEwERs

w. A. Curtis in the New York Times
 Just ahead, as I left the station, was the Capitol Square. "Statehouse," as they say in Kentucky and they say in the east and do not say in the west I wonder if any other state is so inade- quately provided with State official build ings In an illustration of John Fox s novel, "The Kentuckian," the hero is seen speaking in a lofty and vast cham Der, supposedly addressing the Kentucky Legislature. In reality the legislative chambers are mere rooms, smaller than the municipal courtroom of the average city of thirty or forty thousand souls
 Many of the Kentucky courthouses and a majority of the courthouses in tho northwest surpass the little Capitol. The Capitol has a certain simple dignity, with its columned porch and gray walls, de- spite its diminutive size but the iudici- ary building to the left is commonplace two-story red brick house, and the execu- tive building at the right commonplace three-story sandstone city business block
 Within, these buildings are dark and very dirty But what Is the use to clean a public building in a land where all chew tobacco and spit all over everything that is public and much that is private? The public buildings of the central west are bad enough in respect to dirt, but Ken lucky surpasses them in the cause the all-prevailing habit of chewing tobacco
 The great majority-a majority silent and ruminant, but not dead-of Kentuckians chew; the majority have tobacco in their mouths through all their waking hours.

Fee System in Butler County.

The fee system generally leads to abuses of one sort or another, and the chain of cases arising in Butler County but emphasizes the possibilities and mischief of it. Fees and the fee laws of the State are at the bottom of the scandal that has arisen in Butler County. Individual liberty was there trampled down in order to gather in fees. A ten-dollar fine was saddled with from sixty to eighty dollars in fees; the particular victim being sent to the penitentiary for three months, and the county being saddled with 1 big bill for fees. People are j1dlsnant over the scandal, and they are ready to denounoe the ring in Butler County that brought it 1n the State.
 But the trath is, the people them selves dit it with their fee-bill sys- tenn. The Butler County cases are but he natural outgrowth of the sys- +~h, and if they have had enough of the system they should say as much to their representatives in the consti .utional convention. Now is the time l to put the fee system on proper basis, or abolish it altogether. The people are overtaxed in fees, and ir Butler County fees have led to gross wrongs against individual rights and individual liberty
 It seems incredible that men could be convicted of misdemeanors in this State without trial, without even see ing the face of a trial judge. Yet this seems to have been the case in But Ter, and men thus sentenced were hurried off in punches to the peniten- tiary-intelligent white men at that. This Butler County matter needs more attention than it has thus far received. It goes to show how thin the partition is in this State between law and a tyranny that out-Russianizes Russia

Dispute at lien Tsin

Japan would welcome a war be- tween England and Russia, because by joining England she would not only be secure at sea and at home. but she would expect to capture Korea in the settlement of the war. Japan has nothing to lose in such a war. and much to gain, for in the outcome Ko- req would doubtless be handed over to her, Russia's navy would be paral- yzed at the very start, and Japan would thus become as secure as Eng land is at home.
 But all this would not occur in order to please Japan. England and Russia will not let such an incident as the railroad siding precipitate a war. all though as matter of fact that siding stands for the secret treaties between Russia and China dishonorably made while all the powers were acting to- Fgether in China. These secret Rms sian treaties are as much a wrong and an insult to the United States and to Germany and to the other allies as to Great Britain, and as plain matter they should be cancelled, by fsrce if necessary.
 England's cause at Tien ~Tsin is really the cause of all the allies, and when the facts are all brought out the truth will appear in this light And yet it is not probable that Rus sia's underhanded course will lead to war at this time, simply because Rus 'sia is not ready. Her railroad is in complete. Her navy is weak. Her resources are overtaxed in railroad building. A way out of the siding in cident will soon be evolved by some body, and the crisis will be postponed to some period more favorable to the nations chiefly concerned in it.

A Mans Great Courage.

An elderly furnaccman displayed the highest order of human courage at Ems ley yesterday, and did it as simply and unconcernedly as a child might play with a ball of yarn.
 One of the pig iron furnaces at Ensley was blown out in order that repairs might be made. The great mass of set tied metal at the bottom of the furnace stack had to be blown to bits by dyna- mite A hole was made sufficient for the man to enter the furnace, and he crowd ed in and placed seven or eight large sticks of the explosive. Firing the fuses to the dynamite, he turned to make his escape through the hole by which he en- tered, but he could not get through as he had come. Realizing his terrible and iminent danger he drew himself up, and deliberately drawing and opening his pocket knife he cooly cut the burning fuses, severing the last one within an inch and half of one of the large sticks of dynamite, the explosion of which would have crushed him like the wheels of a freight wagon might crush an egg He then, with the utmost cool ness, made the exit broader, and then placed and fired new fuses. making his escape in good time before the success ful blasts occurred

DIPLOMATS CONFIRMING
 ON A NEW CANAL TREATY
BY ALBERT HAl.STEAp.

Washington, March 21.--(Special )-It is evidently the intention of the administra- tion to enter into no negotiations with Great Britain for a treaty to take the place of the Hay-Pouncefote agreement that failed of British ratification after being amended by the United States Sen ate, without consulting those Senators who have made study of the proposed isthmian canal and the diplomatic com plications that interfere with it's com struction.
 Secretary Hay has already consulted with Senator Morgan of Alabama, who can properly be called the father of the present Nicaraguan canal plan, for he has been working for years to secure its construction. That the secretary has also consulted Senator Lodge, who has announced his purpose to make a cam paign for the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty is also probables though this consultation did not occur at the state department. As other Senators come to Washington during the recess their views will doubtless be asked and some of them may be consulted by let ter. After having one treaty rejected through the Senate's insistence upon amending it Secretary Hay does not pro- pose to be embarrassed by having the second treaty similarity treated.
