HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Special Fast Mail Facilities.

The news comes from Washington -- that a strong effort is being made in the House of Representative to elim- mate from the Postfice appropriation bill the special appropriation for fast mail facilities between Boston, New York, Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans. Each year since 1892, when these special fast mail trains were pro- vided for by the government, antagon- istic interests in Congress to the South have opposed this clause of the Post office appropriation bill. Each year the contest has been rather hard one. This year it would seem that large faction of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads of the House is fight ing this provision. It is therefore neces- sary for Southern Congressmen as we'll as Southern commercial bodies, mer- chants and manufacturers to be up and doing and at once.
 A meeting of the Commercial Club will be held on Monday afternoon to consider the question of adopting reso- lutions uring our Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress to push this mat ter of special mail facilities. The meet ing should be largely attended and every citizen and every interest of Birming- ham should use their influence with Congressman not only from Alabama, but from other States as well Tor the passage of this clause of the Postoffice appropriation bill.
 By virtue of the facilities provided by the government, Birmingham gets New York mail at noon, which would otherwise not be received until 10 o'clock at night. This is matter of the utmost importance and should be urged at once.

MAI AT Quay of Pennsylvania and WH William A. Clark of Montana go Y II back to the United States Senate.
 Both have had trouble to regain their respective seats. Obstacles upon the political wheel of fortune met each in turn. Jealousy on the part of ambitious political rivals and venom from business opponents placed thorns in their paths
 These men, like many others, you and know of, in our rather abbreviated and con fined lives, had enemies because of their sue cess in life. Few men meet success without making opponents and some times enemies There are covetous men, though few they be- who would always find fault and inti- mate fraud to the successful Look back upon your boyhood days. Review the boys in your old high school class, and you will find the unsuccessful ones today declaring that they knew more in a minute than you did in year, and that you have only been sue cessful by virtue of circumstances, or luck, or the turn of a chance wheel of fortune which happened by lucky wind to stop upon your number and throw fortune in your lap. But in your success you are too busy and interested to stop to listen to the laggards who talk and tattle.
 Quay worked his way through a political Each of the two evoluted from mere man. Both came from ''poor but honest parents" as the saying goes in print.
 Quay worked his way through political puzzle into the Senate. In that great body he has proven himself a statesman, broad of brain, deep of thought, generous and studious No man in the Senate stands higher with his colleagues of both parties. When others have quibbled Quay has been firm.
 I have always admired the man since that absurd sugar stock investigation in the Senate when every Senator but Quay de- clared he had never bought nor sold share of American sugar refinery stock Quay when called upon the stand, replied, yes. have bought sugar stock and l have sold sugar stock.

Betterment Of Primaries,

The primary has become an essential and important part of the political sys- tenn of this State, and it becomes indeed a question whether it should not have place in the new constitution. Here is a chance for some statesman to attach his name to provision that would be- come historical, for it would be per haps the beginning of mighty revolu. tion in popular government. Some States have put the Initiative and Ref erendum in their fundamental laws, and these are primaries, for they call for direct action by the people; but no State has perhaps put the plain primary on a constitutional footing. No State has made the calling of a primary d constitutional right that the citizens can summon to their aid at any time.

Noble Record of a Sheriff.

Tn these days of partisan personal strife for place, when lawless brawlers defy the law, when officers of the peace sometimes shoot citizens for trivial offense, and when the pistol is brought in as umpire in most trifing disputes between men, it is exceed ingly refreshing and comforting to reflect upon the career of one strong, brave, hu- mane and just man who was for twenty four consecutive years the sheriff of his county, who never shot at any person and never carried a pistol, and whose unexam- pied career as sheriff finds full and loving
 ndorsement by his people in their election of his son as his successor" said a notable South Carolinian last night.
 That rare man is Perry Duncan Gilreath, retiring sheriff of Greenville county, in South Carolina, who was elected to his high place of public trust in 1876 and who volun- tarily relinquished its duties and honors on the first day of this month, giving place to his son. Jefferson D. Gilreath, who swept the county in a great victory as leader of his people, as his distinguished father first carried it in similar capacity twenty-four years before. During all these years Perry Duncan Gilreath never failed or faltered in the discharge of his duty, says the leading authority or GreenVlile the GTeenVlle Odlly News, to-wit. Tn his official capacity he has known neither friend nor foe, always cheerful, always bright, always d perfect gentleman, with always a kind andl sym pathetic word for the most forsaken trimi- nal, always gentle in his treatment Of the unfortunates who fell into his custody-a man without fear, chivalric to the utmost extreme, honored, esteemed by rich and poor, good and bad! And the News says, In retiring from his office MT. Gnreath carries with him the kindly feeling and ut most respect of every citizen of this3coun- ty"
 "On New Years Day there was al great meeting of the GreenviNe bar and leading citizens, at which the principal speaker said to Mr. Gilreath: Instead of the buster and bravado which, alas, have characterized the conduct of too many officers of the law and which breed and foster the spirit of resistance in the breast of any free man, you have tanned the wild and turbulent spirit by gentle, kindly persuasion" Words truly as applicable to Alabama as to South Caro- lima!
 Although that brave man, recognized as one of the bravest in the county has faced many dangers, says the Daily News, face and fired. he never shot at single man during his twenty-four years as sheriff, although much of his work was amongst the sometimes turbulent moun- taineers. At that Greenville meeting they

School Taxation.

No subject needs more altruistic and stiutional convention than that of school taxation. The present system is not elastic enough. In a Black Belt neigh borhood, for example, containing 500 negro children and 25 white children it supplies money that is in part turned into politics or into private pockets. The white children are so scattered in such a district that they cannot be gathered into a school, and the negro Teachers are willing to, or are forced to accept, less than the State allowance. On the other hand the State apportiou- ment is not large enough in North Alabama district to provide proper schooling for the children. The system is inelastic It does not bend to circum- stances, and circumstances vary great deal in this State.
 The truth is, the State appropriation is too large. It should be minimized, and then each district, each community, should be left free to tax itself in the way of supplementing the State school fund. This would render the system elastic. No money would be wasted in the Black Belt, and none would be want ing in white districts where better schools are deserved.
 There is not and never was in any State the least danger that any com munity would overtax itself, and this will be true, emphatically true, when the suffrage is reformed by being placed on the basis of intelligence. To demand intelligence in the voter, and to refuse the power of taxation for school pur- poses would indeed be strangely incon- sistent and unwise. Local taxation for school purposes will as an be out ranked in the convention by suffrage reform only, and really one should be the complement of the other. They should be considered together.

rates.

The people of this town are debtors to Samuel Ullman, inasmucn as he gave eighteen years of service to the public, serving them with rare devotion, en- thusiasm and unselfishness, without re- cefving one cent of pay. He was turned out of office unexpectedly, and Mayor Drennen admits that mistake was made by the Board of Aldermen But the mistake was not rectifed, although Mayor Drennen bravely and manfully endeavored to have it rectified
 There is Q way in which 1t can be rectified, and that consists in sending MT. Ullman without cent of expense to himself to the constitutional conven- tion as a delegate. He is needed there where important school problems will come up. He is very much needed there.
 Let him be voted there by the people of the primary.

1t as I would any other stock or real estate and it is nobody's business but mine"
 The nerve and manliness he displayed won for him admiration. Though a Sem ator he was on no committee dealing with the tariff schedule on sugar, and his views had long before been publicly announced.
 While dozen Senators were known to be in the New York Stock Exchange mar ket dealing in sugar Quay was the only man of the number to tell the truth. Yet there were those who criticised Quay for the truth, and these same praised others, well knowing them to be prevarcators.
 Quay defeated the force bill. He fought his own party because his great mind and his candid honesty told him the force bill was dishonest. He is man of brains, honesty and judgment. These three will always win as they have won in his case.
 Now to Clark. This man has not the statesmanship nor the broad master mind of Quay He has had opportunities and has grasped them. He found mines Tn Montana-copper and silver and lead-and he worked them and made fortune. with fortune he sought fame. Clark's income is said to be $50000 day. In youthful pow erty he was generous to his playmates; Tn developed fortune he has been lavish to his loyal friends. Therefore he was ac- cused of all manner of political wrong-do- ing and corruption by his opponents Ills success has staggered his rivals and they have sought by all manner of means to detract from him. But Clark is worker as much today as in his poverty and his success is deserved. While he may never make himself President, yet he will rank well up in the middling class of the United States Senate.
 | Like Quay and Clark, there are men in | Birmingham and in every town in this land | today whose success calls forth criticism. | But why listen to it? Nothing succeeds | like success"
 And that reminds me that the success | of Birmingham leads to outlying criticism.

Money Saved is Money Earned.

The Southern Tariff Association Of Fire Insurance Companies may be harsh in it's terms and rates, but as there is no appeal from its decisions it is difficult to avoid or parry the conclusions of Gen eral Clark recently presented in The Age-Herald By the addition of two fire stations and a hook and ladder truck, the cost of which would be about $12,000, and then by the addition of S12,000 a year in the way of mainte- nance, rates of insurance would be re- duced one-third, and full insurance could be procured. Premiums in this city are now on the 75 cents basis, and the expenditure of the sums named would put them on a DO cents basis. General Clark estimates that about $3O,O0O a year would be saved to mer- chants and other property holders.
 It is well known that the city is not altogether forehanded, and that taxa tion is limited by ridiculous provision in the State constitution, and some special way must be devised by which the increased expenditure may be met. Our financiers on the Board of Alder men should put on their thinking caps. We are now loading up the insurance companies with money that should be | kept at home. The nre insurance com panies carry away each year a good round sum, and any expenditure that reduces this protection tax is clear gain.
 The statements of Fire Chief Mullin and General Clark seem unanswerable, and as a matter of dollars and cents we can ill afford to go on without better protection on the part of the fire depart ment. While we increase the efficiency of the firemen who fight our fires, we lower insurance premiums, and thus we gain in two directions. The subject needs careful attention, with view both to better protection and lower rates.

thinks that the remedy for boss govern ment lies in taking out of the control of the bosses the management of the primary elections. He suggests that party caucuses and conventions be done away with, and all the voters of the sev- eral parties given an equal voice in making nominations under such regu- lations of the primary choice as may be found desirable for the prevention of fraud. He goes on to show that as matters are now managed in Wiscon- sin the professional gentry who follow politics for what they can make out of the game dictate party candidates; the names are then printed upon the ballots under party headings, and every possi- ble hindrance is interposed to independ- ent voting. The bosses rule; the voters ratify.
 What is true in Wisconsin is true in every other State-in Alabama eve3, and it becomes question as to whether the privilege of direct popular action should not be entrenched in the new constitution. This question is before the people of the State today, and it will stay before them in an active form until delegates to the convention are chosen.

Ounces Do Dye Dearly.

'It is seldom that we have a call for
 hair dye. for nowadays it is considered bad
 form, and so much so that men with dyed
 hair, mustache beard. are looked upon
 with something almost resembling suspic- ion," said fashionable barber last night.
 "Barbers of the better class are very reluctant to use dye on customer, even when it is demanded for it generally re- suits in giving the shop bad name, any thing but a reputation for being fashiona- ble. If we apply dye to mans hair, whether on his head or face, he is apt to become dissatisfied Some friend will see that he has been using dye and will then give him the guy. This drives him back to the barber to grumble and fuss over having been ruined made ridiculous or something of the sort. So the barber loses a customer, and one who will cry down his shop.
 "I had one customer who was mighty friendly to me He was young enough, but
 like many very young men he was very grey, and insisted on the application of dye making me dye his hair, his mustache and his eyebrows. One day I took the liberty of advising him against the practice, as-
 
 that everybody could see and know that he was using dye. He accepted my ad- vice and soon his hair and mustache were | iron grey, which was becoming to him and l made him really handsome man. That | man wouldn't have his hair dyed now for | a hundred dollars.
 'I knew a barber who used to work in l a Birmingham shop, but who had to give l up his job because he dyed and went to l Montgomery. He would pursuade men, especially customers from the country, to | dye; and I have known him to get hold of a blonde customer and dye deep black his hair, beard eyebrows and eyelashes, charging him ten cents for the lashes of | each eye, twenty-five cents for each eye brow, fifty cents for his mustache, a dollar | for his beard and dollar and half for his hair
 No dye has ever yet been made that looks natural or well after being applied. You can detect dyed hair or beard across the width of a wide street, and it always looks absurd. You feel sort O sorry for the man, for poor man he doesn't know that everybody knows he is dyed, and ev- erybody is displeased.''
