HIS HIDE IS THICK.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 MT. Hanna is kiln-dried in politics. He is imperyious to criticism. He is so harden ed that he is indifferent to the frequently re- peated charge that he wants the subsidy bill to pass so as to reimburse campaign contributors out of the United States treas ury. While MT. Hanna wraps himself up though, in his thick cuticle, other men are moved by the exposures. Because the Boss is satisfied with himself is no sign that he is a dream of joy to mankind generally.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

 The average woman doesn't fiatter her husband near much as she ought not to-. As soon as a woman hears her husband complimented by another woman, she gets suspicious.

WITHDRAWAL DOUBTED.
No Reason for Removing M. Cambon
 From Washington.

Paris, February 6.-Inquiries made at the foreign office here today elcited the fact that nothing is known of the report put forward by the Echo de Paris that M. Jules Cambon, the French ambassador to the United States, will be transferred to the Berlin embassy, in succession to ths Marquis de Noalles, who, it is alleged, will shortly retire.
 The feeling appears to obtain here that there is no reason why M Cambon should be withdrawn from a post where he is so popular and which he is filling so satisfac- torily.

The meeting between the Senator and this woman in Washington Monday, followed by his reprehensible conduct, brings the blush of shame to every citizen of the State. If Sullivan had respect either for himself or the people he misrepresents he would promptly bow to popular will and resign from an office that he has used only to the disgrace and humiliation of his State.

The Trade of Southern Merchants.

Birmingham merchants are in receipt of a circular letter from the Merchants Asso- citation of New York which at the outset declares that stocks of merchandise in New York have never before been so attractive as for the spring of 19o1,' and urging the local merchants to visit the metropolis" !" said P, H Linnehan last night
 'The letter says very truly that no mer- chant can hope to maintain and retain a successful trade unless he keeps abreast of the times' and referring to New York as the market for the whole country. the let ter says that many merchants have not been to market in years This new effort of New York merchants has been doubtless called forth by the work on similar lines of the merchants associations of St. Louis and Chicago, which of late years have been trying very industriously to secure the trade of Birmingham and Birmingham ter ritory.

The total population of Florida's 45 counties is 52S,542. The seven counties are about one-sixth of the State in ter ritory and population, and probably in assume therefore one-sixth of the State indebtedness, even if they cannot carry away any of the States assets In round numbers $10O,OOO will probably be the price at which the seven counties can be had
 Escambia County adjoins and lies along the county of Baldwin, it being the county in which Pensacola is To- cated. The annexation of it would give Alabama two counties of a common name, but any such litLle difficulty can be readily adjusted. The chief obstacles to annexation of the counties west of the Chattahoochee, or Apalachicola as it is called in Florida, is the consent of Florida, and the task of securing that rests in the ordinary course of events upon the west Floridians The consent of Alabama and of the federal govern ment are very easily procured. They are in fact like the falling off log. They will come almost unasked It is the consent of Florida that stands in the way

 Believing firmly that Senator Sullivan was morally a very bad man, the Star has, on more than one occasion expressed every confidence in the story of his depravity as given to the world by the Leeton woman. More firmly was the opinion of this paper established when the nauseating details came from the lips of the woman herself.

Sweet Fiction That Survives.

'lf every person in the English-speaking world who is indebted to Charles Dickens were to take holiday in observance of this S9th anniversary of his birthday there would be a cessation of all business of every class from North Sea and Straits of Dover westward over America and so on there is now spoken the language which Dickens wrote in such infinite pathos sweetness and truth" said Dickens lover last night.
 Tn this day, when the Corellis the Wards, the Ouidas, and the lesser breeds without the law in this country, pour forth a ceasless stream of filth, unrght- eousness blasphemy, sexualism, and other gross immoralities, even unto the '24Oth thousand, the '29oth thousand and so on with the sensational sex novel, all putrid and befouling as it flows into the life of the peoples, it is a mighty comfort to turn to Dickens as to few others in the mid Victorian age. It is a blessing to have his books and the books of some others of his time in this day when perhaps not one work of fiction in twenty is not dirty and when not one in hundred is fit for self respecting individuals to read; when very lcW "IlttlS OI HCliOll nave any SLOrleS to tell and when they fling in filth indscrim- inately to make their stuff sell
 Sell to whom? In tens of thousands of cases to pure young girls who receive from such books suggestions and hints of name- less wiekedness which no refined woman should ever come to know, though she lived a hundred years on the earth. It is mon- strously iniquitous; and yet newspapers.
 
 refinement, print the uncleanest parts of these books and call it criticism while they set forth pictures of the beautiful authors, whom they frequently try to rep resent as of the old Southern aristocracy.' thinking 10 increase sales by coupling un- cleanliness in fiction with the purest and best womanhood in the general or national sense in the whole world-the true woman- hood of the real South. Oh, for a censor with imperial power in America-a censor of fiction and of stage plays
 There is great comfort in the reflection of metropolitan critic, writing last Mon- day, that the popularity of Charles Dick ems endures, and will endure so long as all that is sweet and wholesome and lovabie survives in human nature, long as the natural man Is not trained by culture be- yond his Impulse and sentiments. Dickens art, or, rather his method has been at- tackled; but the effects he produced in the days of his life are recreated whenever his books are taken up. His humor is akin to farce, his characters are often caricatures his pathes borders occasionally on the maudlin, but he carries us with him for the moment being: he rarely appeals to us in vain New editions of his works are published with great regularity, and appar- ently always find an audience'"

Annexation of Florida.

The annexation of the Floridian coun- ties west of the Chattahoochie river will not in the last stages relate so much to the natural boundary or to the de- sire of the west Floridians, as it will to the price to be paid For Florida will plainly seek to drive a good bargain even if the governed do desire to ex- change state rule. The consent of the governed in the seven Florida counties would demand their transfer money and without price, but this will not be per mitted to take place.
 Florida has a small state debt, some thing less than a million dollars. It stands, if memory serves correctly, at about S500,000. The seven counties are:

The Messages Mixed.

The following telephone story,
going the rounds, is not bad:
1t was a long time before the
frantic man could get the tele-
phone girl, but at last he reused
her and in answer to the question
"what NUMBER" he answered,
ssgive me 444; DR.. Stewart
''Hello, Doctor. My wife is not
feeling at all well tonight. She
has a severe pain in the back of
her head and neck, a bad taste
in her mouth and a sort of a
goneness at the stomach"
"GOt a touch of malaria, mix
ed with collie. 1 guess" answered
the doctor.
81 think SO. What shall 1 do
for her?''
just then the telephone girl
switched on the Santa Fe mach
inc shops. The boss machinist
was telling somebody what he
supposed was the matter with
an engine boiler, and this is
what the citizen heard in answer
to his anxious inquiry to the
physician:
81 think she is covered with
scales about an inch thick. Let
her cool down during the night
and before she fires up in the
morning take a hammer and
pound her thoroughly all over
and then take hose and hitch it
onto the fire plug and wash her
out. l wouldn't be surprised il
she is full of mud as well as
scales. When you get through
fiA her up with cold water and
build q good fire under her and
if she don't steam well in half an
hour I'll eat her."
And it was more than two
weeks before DIR. Stewart was
able to explain to his patient
that it was the blamed telephone
system and not himself that was
to blame.

thursday night OF last week little
boy about five years old was shot in
the knee In the room occupied by his
father, shoemaker named Duffy, at
Elliuwood. There is good deal of
mystery about the affair which we be-
lieve the officers ought to clear up.
We have been unable to learn much
claims that two fellows, strangers.
tried to rob him; that he fired at them
as the two escaped through the wins
dow, and accidentally hit the boy. One
man. We are told, was arrested and
held by the Eliinwood authorities
few days. The little one who is hurt
is the boy Mrs. Ed. Hotchkiss had
been taking care of since his mother
(her sister) died. and who was taken
away from Mrs. H. by Duffy last fall,
or winter. We believe the boy needs
better care than he is now getting.
