Early Morninq Trains.

Atlanta and other towns long ago secured early morning trains into and out of their several railway stations and recently Meridian made a like re- quest, and that request has been grant ed also.
 This town and district, which fur nishes not only tonnage unexampled in the South, but also a passenger busi- ness of heavy proportions, has never been fairly treated in this respect There are roads that depend largely upon Birmingham business that do not start train upon which passengers can ride until the day is half complet. ed. This is not fair or just or reason able.
 Meridian was compelled to resort to combined action and combined threats Here full and proper representation of the trouble would suffice, for railway | managers are ever ready to do any thing that will build up a town that they draw business from. All that is needed is action of responsible sort action that is representative, and that is as reasonable as it is representative. For this purpose the Commercial Club and the Board of Trade should be hitched together, and joint committee could, we feel sure, secure the trains that this town now sadly lacks.

Higher Pay for Conqressmen.

About fifty years ago the pay of Con- gressmen was raised from a per diem basis to $50O0 year, and no one has ever regretted the change. The country has broadened and grown and prosper ed, and the Congressional District be- comes in each decade larger. The con stituency that once was but 3O000 is now nearly 100000.
 The daily work of Congressman has become very laborious. His attendance in the capitol are but small part of it. He has no leisure time. He has but little during vacation, for 100000 peo- pie can find a great many things for him to do. Why should not rich and great country adequately pay the men who transact it's most important busi- ness? It is proposed, and very prop erly too, that the pay of Congressman of either house be raised to $10,00O, and there is no valid objection to such proposition. The country can well af- ford to pay it's legislators.
 The scheme of small salaries or none at all, as in England, is a scheme that invites to the legislative hall only the rich. Such a scheme would be out of place, let us hope, in America This country should invite the capable man, whatever his circumstance be, and the best way to do that, and at the same time secure his undivided attention to public business consists in paying him a salary that corresponds to the busi- ness he transacts. The proposition de- serves serious consideration. It is a democratic proposition, and it may check the purchase of seats by the Ad- dickses of the country.

Two Men of Great Charity

This day there was given to his poor little space of dust, that dust to which the mightiest and the meekest, the richest and he poorest alike shall be brought one who was a rumseler when his summons came that he pass. Yet that man has done more in charity, more in loving kindness more in the great measure of great goodheartedness more to create smiles of comfort, to drive away the frowns of bodily hunger more to lift the poor from the wretchedness of poverty, than has been done by every bigot. every Pharisee, every intolerant shouter of cant and catch-penny phrases of basphemy who ever heard the sound of the rum sellers boisterous speech who ever heard his name to condemn himv' said a man last night.
 And there is another one who also was rumseller until the other day, and who still lives in the heyday of useful life: who does not do good by stealth that he may blush to find it fame; who does not give A pfttance to a worthy object that he may sec his name in the public prints; who does not go about crying himself holy or righteous. But he is man who does good for love of good, aids charity for love of charity, is generous because he conceives

To Tax Alabama Bachelors.

A bachelor of Birmingham, handsome; widely known and widely loved, who, like Dickens doctor, "'opes for better things against Mchaelmas," sends hither some re- marks relative to bachelors, whose un- worthy company he is said to be upon the point of quitting for the paradise of the fairest in the valley. This lover of the sundown side of thirty will attempt to promote a bil in the Alabama Legislature taxing all bachelors and to become opera tive just after he and another are made one and appear in one picture in the news papers, which will give him columns be- cause of his merits, and because-Yes, just sol
 He says that a legislative device for promoting matrimony a bill for imposing an annual tax of only $5 a head on bachelors Is certain to prove a failure Men who have looked over the prices of spring hats and "tailor-made gowns" are not going to be swept into the troublous sea of mat rmony for a paltry matter of $5.
 Neither would such measure promise much as a revenue producer. Five dollars a head for each bachelor in the State over 30 years of age would not swell the States eXchequer to any considerable extent for the reason that very few bachelors could be found who had passed the thrtieth mile stone. Therefore this Birmingham bache- lors bill will be of a most "s'arching' character and provide heavy penalties. Where a bachelor is convicted the courts will be empowered to extend mercy if it can be proved that the convict has been repeatedly refused in marriage by at least four women of marriageable age. Having been refused by four old maids will admit of all fines against the convict being re- mitted

POKER PLAYING.

From the Chicago Journal.
 Fashion has set it's seal of approval on the punch bowl and the wine glass, and a result the drink habit is on the in- crease among women,' declared Mrs. Le- nora M. Lake in an address to women. ''The drink habit is decreasing among men, and it is not our boys who need assistance today; it is our girls.'
 She continued: "Women are prone nowa- days to make fools of themselves in many ways. They make fools of themselves over punch bowls or beer bottles, and they play poker. They do anything that fashion dic- tateS.
 Poker in some fomilies has taken the place of evening prayers. Where is the old-fashioned family of twenty or thirty years ago? Where are our old-fashioned girls and our old-fashioned boys?
 'The cause of temperance is gradually growing among men, but sad condition of affairs in saloons is growing less, but the money spent afternoons by women who send out for stimulants have them sent to their homes is increasing. An after noon reception is not complete without the punch bowl"

DROPPED POKER CHIPS IN CHURCH

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 sensation was created in an Avondale church on New Years eve by one Edward Wellman, hitherto a highly esteemed young man of Walnut Hills, but who is now mak- ing excuses for himself broadcast.
 It seems that on the night of December 31 Wellman and a few other congenial spir- it's were engaged in a gentleman's game of poker. Wellman is of a religious turn of mind, so that when the midnight hour came near he announced his intention of witnessing the services at a nearby church. Edward carefully wrapped up his checks in handkerchief and deposited them in his overcoat pocket.
 The services at the church progressed to the edfication of the congregation until at a very solemn moment the silence was rude ly broken by a tremendous crash and rattle that emanated from Wellman's pew. What was the horror of the good church. -goers when they cast their eyes in that direc- tion and beheld blushing Eddy carefully gathering up bunch of poker chips Now Welman is looked upon as a hardened and desperate gambler by his friends at the church

Apportionment in the State.

The President has signed the appor- tionment bill, and the States are now free to take up the work of reappor- tionment. Alabama will continue to elect nine members of Congress and eleven electors, but the number of mem. bers has been increased to 386 and the number of electors to 476. This State loses political power by reason of these increases. for she has an unre- presented fraction of nearly 100000.
 But all that has been fought out and ended, and this State must accept it's them. The bill calls for compact dis tricts made up of continuous territory. but it really calls for districts in this State made up very much as they ever have been. The dietricts are and al. ways have been compact and contigu. ous to meet the demands of the new bill.
 
 uneven, and a new apportionment thus becomes necessary. The fast grow $ ing Ninth District will be reduced to nearly one county and if the State could boast of Congressional Dis. trict consisting of single county no harm would be done. Before MT Un. derwood can be reelected and take his seat in the Fifty-eighth Congress, lief ferson county will be very close to the votes. That will be in December, 1903
 There is really no reason why small counties should be punished by attach ing them to Jefferson county. All that are so treated bid farewell to Congres. sional aspirations. They will be called on to ratify Jefferson's choices, and be- yond that point their rights will not

In the Name of Beaten Wives,

The General Assembly of Alabama when 1t re-assembles next Tuesday, should forth with pass the Doster bill to regulate the traffic in cocaine, morphine, opium, and laudanum," declared a citizen of humani- tarian instincts last night
 ''The Doster bill, so called because it was introduced by Hon. H. s. Doster, the able and watchful Representative from Autauga County is in an excellent position to be passed into law, and I hear that large majority of members and Senators are fa- .vorable to its passage. The druggists asso- citation of the State fought the Hef1in bin having the same object in view as the Doster bill and much more because they held that 1t went too far, and they easily defeated it. But l understand that all first class druggists are willing to allow the Eoster bill to pass, as they admit there is practically unanimous wish on the part of the people for some such~law to deal with the rapidly increasing and terrible curse of drunkenness from cocaine, morphine and opium. But whatever may be the wishes of a few druggists who may wish the reck- less dealing in those drugs to go on for the sake of their own profit, it is the duty of legislators to protect the public The Dos ter bill isn't perhaps all that could be wished but it is probably all that the drug gists will permit the people to have So let us take it and be thankful in the name of beaten and broken wives and beaten and hungry children; in the names of families whose lives are darkened by suicide, and in the name of the great spirit of charity and humanity!'
