HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
MT. BrYan's New Field.

The Commoner appears is neat maga- zine form, and it will doubtless share hereafter the current discussions of public questions. MT. Bryan has given many years to the study of such ques- tions, and he has chosen newspaper work as the best means of utilizing his knowledge and experience. No man sees farther into public issue, and no man can present his views more clearly than MT. Bryan can. The Age-Herad will be disappointed if the Commoner does net become factor in future dis cEssions of rulitIcal subjects.
 The name of the paper is well chosen. There is nothing demagogic about its It will speak, or aim to speak for all the peopIe-for all just and honest men-for all who ask but justice at the hands of the government-for honestly acquired wealth as well as for the poor aud the bsInble. The Commoner will aim to stand for the common people tho common people, in the sense of the Scriptures, who heard Christ gladly.
 The Commoner will hereafter speak, for itself, and the judgment of the reading public will be final. If it SUD- plies want it will live and become increasingly useful The Age-Herald predicts for it an useful and honorable career, simply because MT. Bryan has within lIi1u the clements needed in the making of a successful political paper.

A BAcKsLIDINe COUNTESS.
m the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 For some time the Countess of Warwick has been conducting lace and lingerie store on Bond street. London This has greatly shocked the British aristocracy, who are glad to hear that the shop has failed, and the countess has given up all efforts to make her own living.
 The countess is backslider. She was a parasite; then she became a worker in the vast and immeasurably useful field of distributions; and now she is once more a parasite.
 Lady Warwick is one of the best spirits among the British titled families She has advanced ideas; she is engaged in many good works. These, however, are charita- ble and none of them has anything to do with the plebeian task of making ones living. The countess desires to be genu- inely useful-to belong to the army of the worlds workers who lowe no man any thing"
 But the pressure on her is too strong British society insists that she shall be as one of them, living on the efforts of others And so it would not patronize' her shop Poor countessl Why does she not come to the Western States of America and be free to do as she likes?

Dick Taylor and the King.

'"The late Gen. Richard Taylor-the fa- nous Dick Taylor of the Confederacy- was the brother of the first Mrs. Jefferson Davis, being the only son of Gen. Zachary Taylor, President of the United States, and his fame has particularly strong claims up- or the loving memory of southerners," said an eminent veteran who was interested in Taylor, and the new king of England, and the kings late brother, the Duke of Saxe- Coburg, whom the New York World the Louisville Courier-Journal and similar ill., informed newspapers, persist in keeping alive though he has been dead about a year.
 Gen. Taylor was a sugar planter in one of the Louisiana parishes, not distant from New Orleans, when he entered the Confederate army" the eminent veteran continued. Tt is not known to me at the moment which is the state of his nativity, but probably Virginia, as he had a sister there until very recently, and perhaps she is still living ,and the ancestry is certainly Virginian. Taylor was a man of rare cul- ture and a soldier dear to Stonewall Jack son, who promoted him in military rank In the public library at the Birmingham high school is his most admirable and delight- ful book, Destruction and Reconstruction a narrative of political and military events his eminent brother-in-law."

MT. Pettus' Antitrust Bill.

Representative Erie Pettus' antitrust bill has behind it the experience of other States, and particularly of three Southern States. All the efforts of the trusts have not been equal to the task of overthrowing the antitrust bills in Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, and the mass of the people in those States have no intention of repeating them. The effects of the bills in the three States named have been grossly mis- represented in newspapers controlled by the trusts, but the truth is, the bills are working in the interest of the peo- pie. and the people are glad they have got them.
 And why should not the consumers desire competition instead of combina- tion among the producers? Nothing is more natural, nothing more desirable. Let no one believe the reports insid- iously circulated by agents of the trusts to the effect that the bills in the three States are hurtful to business and are no longer desired. Such reports are misleading and untrue.
 The trusts in each State where an antitrust bill has been introduced first set their agents at work, and the stories those agents tell are some.ning mar vicious. It would be easier to mention the stories they do not tell. These agents are in every town, big and lit- tie, and in twinkle all can be put at work against an antitrust bill. They are already at work on this State, and the agent who can talk the longest and the strongest against the Pettus bill is considered the best fellow.
 After the agents come the flow of the corruption fund, and this alone explains many votes. But there will be a yea and nay vote in each house, and every man will leave a record on this subject.
 The Pettus bill is directed against dangerous combinations only-against monopolies, and the second section of the bill defines with precision and legal accuracy a monopoly. No one should therefore be misled by the talk of the agents of the trusts, for the bill will not touch or harm any one who is not con spring to rob consumers. It should strike at such robbers, and the harder it hits them the better.

Growth of cathoIicity.

Very nearly every day certain New York newspapers get cheap hired men 10 write in that city special cablegrams' from Rome concerning the business of the Vat ican and most of the special writers are ignorant men-like the New York Worlds faker' who apparently forged an inter- view with a man named Lloyd Bryce and confused that person with with the illus trious Prof. James Bryce of England-and so such men get things mixed in writing in New York an interview with the Pope by our special correspondent at Rome,' seeing that in point of fact the Pope never submitted to a newspaper interview in his Hfe," said William Hoyt of New York last night
 "This weeks biggest fake from Rome is that the Pope has finally determined to raise Archbishop Ireland to the dignity of a cardinal, the archbishop having given up certain of his personal views that were unfriendly to the restoration of the Pope's temporal power and being backed for cardinal by two-thirds of the cardinals now in Rome! All of which is perhaps as utterly lacking in truth as was the prin- cipal special from Rome written in New York ignorance last week.
 mOSt lkely diOlHcf cdluindi VIII bC eP- pointed in America before great while for the Catholic Church now numbers nearly eleven million communicants in America, or perhaps about half of the con- stant and regular weekly attendants upon Christian service in all the United States weekly participation in the mass being ob- ligatory upon every Catholic. Each year there is a directory made up embracing all facts regarding the church. At the end Of the church business year every priest must send to his bishop exact and precise fig ures and tables concerning his particular church or mission, giving the number of communicants, number of marriages, num- Der of deaths, number of baptisms, number of confiSmat tions, amount of money collect ed, and so on. These are used for compil- ing the directory, which must therefore be entirely accurate The issue for 1901 is just from the press, and it shows the num- bers of Catholics-those who regularly at tend church-aggregate 10774,9S7, showing an increase in one year of 6453l2. That Is about 6 per cent increase, whereas the population of the country is increasing only about per cent a year! All of which makes a remarkable showing for this church. The priests are just thirteen less than twelve thousand, and there are nearly four thousand young men who are prepar- ing for the priesthood.
 Some idea of the learning required for the priesthood may be obtained from the fact that it requires twelve years study after leaving a high school. For example, a boy graduating from your Birmingham h ,iob ot ciyta ar have to study closely and keep in good health in order to be qualified for the priesthood by his twenty yeighth year!
 There are in this country one cardinal, thirteen archbishops and eighty bishops, and under them are hundreds of colleges, seminaries and asylums, and nearly four thousand church schools. In all the Catho- lie institutions of the United States there are considerably more than a million chill dren."

MANY HAVE A MoTHER-IN-LAW.

From a New York Letter. -"---
 Apropos of the wedding in high life In the recent past and yet to come, it is ru- mored with much conviction that the young Duke of Manchester will shortly find him. self the dismayed possessor of a stepmfther-in-law.
 Eugene Zimmerman of Cincinnati, now twenty years a widower, has been devoted for some time to an attractive woman of this city, who has more than once refused to renounce the el-known name she bears for that of the duchess father. It is now said, however, that the fascinating lady has experienced a change of heart since her Cincinnati suitor acquired a coronet in his family, and she is perfectly willing to be stepmo other-in-law to a duke.
