Common Sense in Ruslness.

All persons who have anything to sell and in Birmingham there are great many such persons-ought to have com mon sense enough to advertise; and to advertisers here are some suggestions In verse clipped from a newspaper more than hundred years old as 1t bears date January. ,1s00:
 Luther Andres & Co. have this day Been opening Goods both fresh and gay. He has received near every kind That you In any store can find, And as purchase by the Bale l am determined to retail
 For Ready Pay little lower Than ever has been had before. I with my brethren mean to live, But as for credit shall not give. I would not live to rouse your passions, For credit here is out of fashion. My friends and buyers, one and all, It will pay you we'll to give call. You always may find me by my sign A few rods from the house divine

HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Iron Consumption at Home.

The Alabama and other Southern furnaces are turning out about 95,o0O tons a week, and the production in the entire country is at rate that, If con tinued, would exceed 16,000,00O tons a year. No pig iron is taken for ex- port, and yet stocks do not accumu- late to any serious extent. The entire stock on June 1 did not greatly ex- ceed 100000 tons, or less than two weeks consumption. Stocks were act ually reduced in May. The figures for June have not been compiled by the Iron Age, but they will doubtless be of like effect.
 The extent and long continuance of such an immense consumption in this country surprises all nations. It is be- yond all their experience. We are not only the chief iron producing country of the world, but we are also the chief consumer of the great commercial metal New railroad construction has much to do with this, but the bridge maker and the agricultural implement maker are important factors. The iron and steel bridge has supplanted the bridge of wood, and the use of iron has been greatly extended in all machin- cry. Our exports of machinery account g fcf- fc,f- fH4o little of the output of the fur naces.
 If all the labor troubles are speedily settled, as now seems probable, the indications are that the prices of iron will be maintained throughout the present year, even if production be maintained. and the latter Is always difficult in the heats of midsummer. The iron industry is in a very satisfac- tory condition, and the wonder is that the country can readily absorb such an immense output. Every furnace al most is in blast, and yet the steady outpour which goes on day and night, Sundays as we'll as week days, is wanted at home at good prices. It Is the home consumption that surprises the German anu the English ironmas- for

GAS VERSUS STEAM ENGINES.

From Youths Companion.
 Professor Thurston of Cornell Universi- ty says that the twentieth century opens with the gas engine for the first time in it's century of evolution seriously com peting with the steam engine in impor- tant commercial work on a large scale. Summing up the results of recent tests. 1t appears that 'the best work of the large gas engine gives a thermal efficiency substantially the same as that of the very best steam engine. while 1t employs a fuel which is considerably cheaper"

 "Resolved, That in honor of Tndepend- ence Day, the convention adjourn at It's usual hour until Friday morning."
 That is more than appropriate, it is mo- ble; and It's adoption reflects great credit Tho official report of the proceedings, as appearing in the Montgomery Advertiser, thus gives various notes of discord:
 "Mr O'Neai Gauderdale)-I desire to offer a resolution before I commence my remarks on this question.
 ''The resolution was sent to the clerk 5 desk and read as follows:
 Whereas, The Fourth of July is sa- cred to all who appreciate republican in- Republic
 ''Mr. Reese-I rise to point of order. The consent of this house has not been obtained to read that resolution.
 MT. O'Neal-This is a privileged mo- tion. A motion to adjourn.
 'The clerk continued the reading-'all portions of the Republic. wherever the flag waves--'
 MT. Rogers (Sumter)-I make the point of order that 1t is a motion to ad journ and it is not debatable."
 The reading of the resolution was final- Iy completed, when Mir. Williams of Ma rengo said he had "a substitute"
 Mir. Reese of Dallas said: ''1 call for the ayes and noes on that resolution"
 There were cries of yes and mo- and a division was called for, and upon divis- ion the vote resulted T9 ayes and 49 noes, so the resolution was adopted.
 "Mr. Coleman (Greene)-I call for a veriflcation of the vote.
 MT Cunningham-We demand verifl- cation of that vote by the ayes and noes of this convention.
 "Cries of Too late.'
 "Mr. Cunningham-We demand 1t. We make the point of order that we have a right to a verifcation of the vote.
 "Cries of No, mo-
 'Mr White-I make the point of order that the demand comes too late.
 "Mr Reese-I have been on my feet demanding the ayes and noes ever since the resolution was offered"

Scott and Sickles and Evans.

Pre-election promises are easily made, and they are almost always for gotten afterwards. They are species of "hold-up" at the best, and it is per haps we'll that they are forgotten. It would ot course be better that they had never been born, and most of them should never be carried out even after they had been made, because they are , against public interest and public pol icy.
 The administration is up against one of them. Senator Scott, acting for the Republican National Committee, and in all human probability for the Repub- hcan nominees, promised General Sick les in these words, through which the slippery time-serving politician can be seen even by blind man: q think I can safely say that hardly think Ev- ans will be continued as Commis- sioner of Pensions. and have no doubt that the Presideot and all of us who are interested in his election will try to see to il that there is a Commits sioner of Pensions who will be satis- factory to the old soldiers. I think you can take 1t for granted that things will be about On the line you suggest"
 As straddling letter of a politician who intended to have the soldier vote at all hazards, the Scott effort rises almost to classic. He is never posi- tive or selfassertve, but he is slick and slippery, and the letter should have been so construed from it's face. It is insincerity itself.
 When things were not conducted on the Sickles line-when Commissioner Evans refused to unlock the Treasury to every man who asked for pension, General Sickles rose up to demand Ey- ans removal on the ground that 1t had been promised before election, The matter has become 50 notorious that the administration dare not oust Mir Evans from the pension office, and General Slckles proposes to bring the old soldiers into line for continuous attack upon the administration, snd

THE WHISKY FAMINE IN GUAM.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 There comes a tale of woe from distant Guam. This is the remote island in the Pacific where for some time Captain Leary of the navy was 0 benevolent and unmarried ones to wed. He appealed to the department for a brass band to aid in the civilizing of the inhabitants, but was not able to get 1t. It Is not lack of music, however. which causes un- happiness In Guam. It Is the scarcity of whisky. The last barrel of "commissary" has been stolen and drunk up by bad ma rines on duty in the island.
 This sad news is given in an order :s- sued by Commander Seaton Schroeder. United States navy, Governor of Guam. In 1t he calls the attention of the com mand to "the hoodlumism and lawless- ness which are rampant in the island" Perhaps this language Is not too strong when the dastardIy character of the crime which has been committed is taken into consideration. The commander says excitedly:
 There is reason for alluding to the theft a few weeks ago of barrel of whisky from the naval hospital that was the last and sole suppdy of the medical depart ment for medical purposes An officer on duty here has since then been so reduced by climatic fever that n certain amount of whisky was considered necessary to keep him from utter prostration. Forum ately. small supply was obtained from a passing vessel. Had that accidental supply not been forthcoming and had that officer succumbed. his death would have rested upon the heads of the scoun- drels who committed the theft.
 It is easy to imagine tho frantic de- light with which this passing vessel was welcomed by the Governor. It may be taken for granted that he would not have issued so intense an order if there was need of whisky for only one ofiter. Per-
