C. E. Goddard was in town yesterday. He has plant for shearing sheep by machinery, and has clipped lO0,O in the southern country this season. His plant has been moved to Ash Fork and he expects to commence the shearing of the bands of sheep in that vicinity next Wednesday. Two thousand sheep can be relieved of their feecy covering in a day by the shearing machine.

The Bitterness of Defeat.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Some men there are who will not taste the sweetness drawn from the uses of diversity. They will not bury their dead ambition. They will not accept for them selves what all the world has accepted for them, they will not admit the justice of an arbitrament which they invited and which resulted in their discredit and dis aster. Clearly such a man is Paul Kru- ger, late President of the Transvaal Re public, whose memoirs are now about to be published in London. Some extracts from this forthcoming book have been printed in advance of the volume itself. They are monumentally bitter. They are Enthusiastically abusive. The man who encouraged a clique If corrupt aliens to fatten upon the treasury of his own land, who Is known to have profited enorm- ousiy by the sale of privileges if not by the sale of law, anlarges upon the lies, treachery, intrigues and secret instiga- tions'' of the Government with which he so fatally clashed. The approver of the infamous dynamite concession says that Cecil Rhodes was one of the most un- scrupulous characters that ever existed. a liar and brber.- Lord Milner is mur- derer at his worst and a tool of Cham berlain" at his best. Hard names are not arguments. According to the proverb they break no bones. In more modern phraseology, they cut no ice. They prove nothing, they indicate nothing, save the gall and the wormwood, the bitterness of an irreparable defeat.

WORK FOR INVENTORS.

The New York Mail and Express leaves the impression that it has been taking a long nap, judging from this extract from D recent editorial:
 L The question Ss possible eff. failure nss1 of prompt some of our great inventors still held in reserve-the mute inglorions Ed asons and Teslas-to discover some less clumsy and back handed way of getting at natures energy than digging coal out of tho ground and using. 1t to boil water with. Cannot natures prodigtous forces, going to waste every day all around us in quadrillions and quintillions of tons of essTFy' So% DO harhesS'0 more 0'r''''' than
 Our New York contemporary Is singu- iariy ebIivious of passing events if it has failed to note the. rapid advance in mechanical and engineering science in the way of dispensing with ''the clumsy Z and bAck-handed' methods 1t objects to. erable, ceaseless and free water powers are being harnessed up and put to work to supply electric force and light for mankind. There was a time when 1t look ed as though steam would almost en- tlrely take the place of water in the de- velopment of mechanical power. and now steam stands to lose it's supremacy and be superseded by its old competitor, wa ter. The development of electric energy by water power is going to send steam to the background unless something new shall be discovered which will be better.
 The Mall and Express really raises a smile. however, when it wonders why some inventor doesn't find way to drive other machinery by weights or springs. just as a clock Or watch is driven. well we once knew a man who actual : ly built saw mill of the old style up- right sash kind. which was to be driven by springs. His idea was to put spring at the top and one at the bottom so that when the sash was put in motion the all fernate force of the springs would keep it going up and down.. He built the mill but the sash wouldn't go up and down. So, a man can fit up machinery to run by weights, and 1t has often been done, but the weights must be wound up at stated times or the machine stops. There's nothing new in that idea, and nothing for the inventor to lay hold of The idea that the power of gravity can be forced to act in any other way than towards the center of the earth looks like a pipe dream. The inventive genius of man has passed the age when 1t expects to re- verse the order of nature.
 And when our contemporary comes to the proposition to utilize the power of the waves and the tides 1t ought to know that this has been done time and again. Ma chinery driven by the rising and falling of the tides has been constructed many times and in many places. and in some cases has given good results. The same may be said of plans to utilize wave power. for that has also been done in a number of instances. It is feasible. of course. but we do not think inventors will waste much time over such schemes while electricity is so easily developed and so sReDulaA -e'.

Judge Story Cornered.

Atlantic Magazine.
 Judge Story's lectures at the school carried away his listeners with the pure enthusiasm of the speaker. His extraor- dinary memory ,copious learning and long practical experiences combined with his ready inventions of illustration. and won derful fiuency of expression. often caused him to wander widely from the starting topic, and sweep with amazing facility over far-distant regions of theory or practice, or even personal reminiscence. Alas. that a veracious chronicler must set down that in those bygone times the young idea was no more scrupulous in evading that process than are the earn est disciples of the present. Tt was easy" says a student of that day, ito draw the old judge from the point under consideration to a lengthy account of Chief Justice Marshall and his fellows and this was apt to be done every day." Professor Ashmun apparently tried to restrain and even counteract this ten dency of the judge and there Is tale to the effect that Story once remarked somewhat testify, Now Ashmun. don't you contradict what I say. believe you would try to correct me if l told you that two and two make four" "ot course. l should" retorted Ashmun in- stantly, they make twenty-twa.

"A SLEEPY CONTEMPORARY.

Last Thursday The Advertiser pointed with pride to its nine columns of State specials on wednesday in reference to the election on Tuesday. It contrasted this news with the paltry three columns of similar matter in The Birmingham Aee-Heraid.
 Yesterday our Birmingham contem- porary woke up, and in doubls-column black type boast contrasts its reports on Sunday of the official returns from the counties with those in The Advertiser. It appears to think it beat this paper on the news.
 This is . remarkable mistake and dem onsrates that our contemporary was not thoroughly awake. after all. though 1t was rubbing its eyts. The news of the election in Alabama was on last wednes- day morning, the day after the votes were cast, not on Sunday morning. the day after the county returning boards certified to the result. Nobody was wor- ried about the official count. The public was not caring whether the total major- ity was 5000 or 5000. The public want ed all the figures it could get. from every County and every beat. on Wednesday, and that is where The Advertiser scooped our sleepy contemporary. The Advertiser knows when to get the news.
 Our contemporary's boast on yesterday about its Sunday news service was es- psciaIly ill-timed in the light of another failure of The Ase-Herald to keep up with things of importance. On Sunday The Advertiser gave . full story about the decision of the Convict Inspectors and the Governor to stop leasing convicts to the coal operators. This was an unusu- ally big item. of great interest to the whole State and of extraordinary inter est to The Age-Herald's Birmingham dis trict. Yet our sleepy contemporary did not have 6 word of 1t on Sunday. It copied it yesterday substantially from The Advertiser, without credit
 The Mobile Register had the news on Sunday morning. The facts were also known by number of people in Birmins- ham on Saturday. The Age-Heraid cer- tainly ought to have gotten the news when 1t was at its own door. .
 It is again made clear that the people of Alabama must depend on The Adver- tissr to get the news. promptly as well as fully. It also looks as if Birmingham morning newspaper readers win have to look to The Advertiser for big news con- corning that district.

Allen Poe. as we'll as striking evidence of times changes is revived by an ar tiele in Lappincott.s Magazine, the writ CT being witness and participant in the incident. Poe, as usual. was hard up, and on the advice of his friends decided to give . public recitation of some of his best poems.

MONTGOMERY MUST DO ITS
 DUTY.

Into the career of city, just as into the life of a citizen. there comes at some time or other . crisis. Montgomery is facing an industrial crisis. Let us look the problem squareiy in the face and solve it bravely and broadly for all .fu- ture time. Shall we continue to swap jack Knives among ourselves year after year, or shall we manufacture jack knives and sell them broadcast to the world around us? Shall we continue as simply trading and commercial center. or shall we advance and become . manu- featuring city as well7
 An opportunity is offered the city to secure large stove factory by a dona- tion of site and buildings. From theo- reticaI standpoint\we may be opposed to the giving of bonuses to industrial enter prises, but look! while we have been dis cussing the theories here among our selves, other cities have indulged the practice and the smoke from their in- dustries is rising as sweet incense to the skies. If we would obtain similar re- suits, we must adopt similar methods pursued by other manufacturing cities. It is certainly better and cheaper to give outright . reasonable bonus to bring an industry here under skilled and success full mana cement, than to take stock in much larger amount as an investment In an experimental local factory which will drag out a precarious existence under tho management of inexperienced citizens.
 All communities are made up of two classes-the men who push and the men who ride. It falls to the lot of the form CT tq push the city in the paths of prog ress. to help along worthy causes. and to labor for the advancement of the whole as well as of the individual; the latter have usually accumulated com- petence and are indifferent to the gen. eral welfare. The city that waits for their active and moneyed cooperation is doomed to die of dry rot. A city's prog ress and development depends largely upon just what proportion of her popu- lation push and what proportion ride, and woe betide the community that sits idly by and permits the weight Of apathy in those who ride to discourage the healthy and patriotic activities of those who push.
 Will the citizens of Montgomery put their shoulders to the wheel and their hands in their pockets and locate this splendid industry in our midst, or will they sit still. steeped in apathy and in difference, and let the golden opportuni- ty slip by forever? This Is the question the city of Montgomery Is facing.

SHOULD PREPARE AT ONCE.

Democrats. It concludes in this way:
 couraged by the gains they have made. will be trying to strengthen their lines, seeking for weak places in those of the Republicans and taking advantage of Re- publican mistakes; Every Republican er- Congress will be the field where most of the maneuvers will take place, and for this reason it's proceedings will be fol- lowed by the people with unusual and increasing interest. It seems now that only. egregious Republican laundering and brilliant Democratic generalship can pre- vent the election of Republican PreSi- dent and Congress two yeays hence; but Republicans, if they would insure suc- cess, should begin at once to prepare for the next campaign.
 Is not this a plain guide-post for the Democrats? The election last week was really only preliminary skirmish. The real battle Is to come two years hence, when the Presidency as well as the Con- gress is the prize to be fought for, and for that battle the Democrats should, as The Journal tells the Republicans begin at once to prepare" The Republicans in Congress will feel so elated over their victory that 1t will be strange indeed if they fall to lay down more than one gap in their lines. Eternal vigilance Is the price of liberty is a somewhat hackney ed phrase. but 1t is as true in politics as in anything else. The eminent Irish ora tor. John Philpot Curran, once said: Tt is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active" and that applies to politics. also.
 We look upon 1t as a solemn duty which the Democrats owe to the country as we'll as to themselves to hold the Republican party to 6 strict responsibility for all the sins of omission and commission of which it has been or may be guilty. With the divisions existing in the Republican ranks on the ever-livins issue of the tar if. and with the trusts as the off, spring of the tariff, that party will find it hard to guard all its lines and to prevent Den- ocrats from getting the advantage of po- sition before the great battle of 1904 opens The Democrats should begin at once to prepare and much of the preparation must be made in the halls of Congress There much can be gained if Democrats will be alert, active and aggressive, and take advantage of every opening
