Governor William A. MacCorhle's
q rticle, on the political and CONNER
cial control of Cuba, by this govern
ment published in the Manufactures
Record rises to the degree of a great
state paper, equal if not superior, to
any thing written by any one on the
subject Like all thoughtful men the
governor is looking to the future,
and clearly sees that if we are to lead
in the great commercial war, now
inevitable among the nations reach
ing out for the control of the worlds
commence, we must carefully guard
our rights in admitting Cuba to the
slsterhood of Nations.
The measures pending in Congress,
are such as should be adopted and
inforced with a determined will no
mock sentiment should stand in the
wav of this Nation a~scertaining her
natural rights in reserying to herself
tr'o ricA to say on what terms Cuba
shall oat her flag of Independence,
to the breeze.
Nations like individuals have GER
tian natural rights which they should
not be permitted to assert where their
actions would injure their neighbors
without benefit TO themselves. hence
the necessity for this nation guarding
carefully and we'll all its rights be-
fore %consenting to the creation of a
state that may ultimately cause the
obstruction of the one responsible for
its birth.
The bowls and walls of the old
auntie press should not deter those
who are in position to guard the Ma
tion's future welfare but should
serve to stimulate to action, every
energy required to see that this gov
eminent, and it alone shall say what
shall be the character of our nearby
neighbor before admission to the fam
lily of Nations.

One hundred years next Monday,
Thomas Jefferson rode horse back
to the capitol and was sinaugerated
president of a Nation consisting Of
five million people, and a territory
extending westward to the Missis-
sippi river. Before he retired from
office, the Nations flag hoated from
the Gulf Of Mexico, northward to
Pugent Sound a most wonderful ex-
pansion for the small number of in
habitants then forming this republic.
Peace, prosperity and happiness abid-
ed with us until now a Nation of
seventy-six million of people, will see
inaugurated on Monday, March 4th
q century later, William Mckinley
under whose wise administration the
stars and stripes are floating not
only from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
but waive over q chain of islands
reaching to the rising sun in the
Orient. What the future has in store
for us, as a Nation, will depend in a
measure on our ability to administer
the trust confided to u care, if
our qualifications to govern are to
be measured by the past, then bright
indeed is the outlook for the human
race, for wherever our flag f%loates,
there liberty follows, which lifts
struggling mankind up, and bids him
onward in the march hat shall at
last liberate all mankind from tyrany
and oppression.
Our hearts swell with pride in the

He declared that with coal at its

 Fowls by the Pound.

At meeting of the. Alabama Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association, held yesterday afternoon in the Smith build ing. President Forbes brought to light the fact that Birmingham was behind the times in the manner the merchants sell eggs and poultry.

BINDS MORGAN OVER
 ON FEDERAL CHARGE
COMMISSIONER CORNISH HEARS 9EVIDENCE IN FRAUDULENT
 5MAIL CAsE--MoRGAN SAYS HE TWILL SUE PAPERS FOR LIBEL.

George w. Morgan was yesterday bound over to await action of the United States grand jury by Commissioner Cor n.sh on a charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes His bond was fixed at s10OO and in default of it he was com nlitted to the Jefferson County jail.
 But one witness was placed on the stand. After hearing the testimony of Lewis Willis of the Willis Hardware Com pany of Pensacola, Fla, Colonel Denson, counsel for the defendant, asked that the court waive further examination, which was done.
 MT. Willis testified that he had bought three certificates of the Birmingham De- benture Redemption Company October 1, 1900, signed by George w. Morgan, pres ident and that they had been sent through the mail to him.
 Commissioner Cornish held that this class of matter was not maable.
 Morgan said yesterday afternoon he would probably make bond before New Year. Colonel Denson, his attorney, has the matter in charge and is making arr arrangements now for Morgan to be re- leased pending action of the state grand jury and the United States grand jury
 Morgan said he had it in for several newspapers in the south and that when he had cleared himselfl of the charges he would sue the papers for libel. He stated that Friday morning he received a num- Der of clippings from a lawyer in one of the towns where these libelous stories have been appearing, and that a letter was also received stating they were suf- fieient ground for suit. He stated that he had been called a swindler, thief and other names in these papers. and that in return he would make 1t hot for the papers when he was released.
 He said that the Birmingham papers were not included in this list, as they had all been very accurate in printing the news as 1t appeared in the evidence.

He broke 1t open, read it and went away without making known the fact that it was not for him. He then went to Spiers, to whom he Is said to have owed money, and showed him the letter, telling him he would pay what he owed, if Spiers would identify him at the window. Spiers did this, but the money order clerk made him sign the receipt as the man receiving the money. He took the money and gave it to the negro, who handed him back the amount he owed.
 Commissioner Cornish bound him over mainly on the fact that he saw the letter and should have known that it was not for the negro.

 Rogers, Brown & Company's Cincinnati circular says: Prices have been marked up during the week. Bessemer has scored an advance of 50 cents and basic about 70 cents per ton. Southern irons have stiff fened in price. Several of the furnaces name SIP cash, Birmingham, as the very bottom for No. foundry. There is not much southern iron for sale for delivery prior to April.
