 gifts to libraries had become so familiar, the announcement that any man had en- dowed forty of these institutions in 8 day would have been received with in credulous wonder. Mir Carnegie made such a statement at librarians dinner on Thursday night and the matter arous- ed hardly surprise. No city was named save Albany and no attempt to fix the amounts or locations of the libraries has vet been made. so quickly has the coun- try become accustomed to the fairy wand of this magician. MT. Carnegie himself seems more impressed with the fact that so many small communities come for ward with a readiness to raise 1000 to 5000 a year for library maintenance than with his own gifts. He has brought about a condition where libraries will hereafter be supported from the public funds
 as schools are. The Carnegie

 It is proposed by the Democratic man of a conservative business man of the East to act as chairman of the Congress sional Campaign Committee. Many oi them are strongly inclined to favor the appointment of James Knox Polk Hal of Pennsylvania. Mr. Hall Is Repre- sentative of mature judgment. and has made a success of business and political affairs. The mention of Senator Clark ot Montana for this position is not received favorably. He is declared to be unsatls- factory by Democrats who do not care to go before the country with a manager whose knowledge of running campaigns IS confined almost exclusively to the Montana idea.

It is believed that if MT. Kerr will again take the secre- taryship MT. Cable would be willing to look after the finances of the committee and act as treasurer.

The Music at St. Peter's.

T have been disappointed at the music at St. Peters. Rome. of which so much has been written," says William E. Cur tis in The Chicago Record-Herald. The Pope's choir does not sound to American ears as many enthusiastic writers have heard 1t. It is inferior to that of St. Pat rick's Cathedral, New York. and to that of St. Matthews in Washington. the two with which l am most familiar. and Chi cago Catholics here tell me that much better singing can be heard in several of the churches in that city. There are at least two churches in Rome-St. John Lateran and St. Maria Maggiore-where the choirs are better than that at the Va tican. On Christmas day. Easter and other special feast days the choir at St.
 Peter's is re-enforced by the best male voices in Rome. but on Sundays and or dinary occasions 1t Is a disappointment"

LAMONT NOT A CANDIDATE.

New York, July 1.-THE Hon. Daniel
s. Lamont, Secretary of war In Pres-
dent Cleveland's last cabinet and vice
president of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company, returned yesterday from
Labrador. where he has been salmon
fishing for the last month with Mr.
James j. Hill. Col. Lamont said:
81 find that in my absence some kind
friends have been good enough to men,
ton my name in connection with the
Democratic nomination for governor of
New York state, a suggestion which UNI
questionably has had more prominence
than its source would justify / wish to
say that under no circumstance would
permit the use of my name as a can
didate for the nomination for that Of

some quarters 1t was predicted that La
monts name would be in the national

was supposed to back this idea, but now
that Mr.. Lamont has taken himself out

A State Primary 1t Is.

The State Democratic Committee
acted wisely in it's meeting at Mont
gomery yesterday in providing for the
selection of Democratic candidates for
State officers by general Democratic
primary. The Democrats of all the
State and of each county therein here
after are to vote directly for all State
officers and each and every individual
Democrat shall have the same rights
and privileges in selecting candidates,
as his neighbor. In other words, the
will of the majority of the white DEM
ocrats of Alabama shall rule.
The State Committee has acted well,
although no man can declare the pri-
mary plan as outlined to be perfect.
There may be claims that 1t will work
injustice to some sections and 1t may
result temporarily in shifting controll-
ing political centers. But the primary
plan adopted yesterday is full step
in the right direction. The committee
has given to the great Democratic ma
jority that which was asked. The
primary plan is to be tried. The peo-
pie have it in their hands to select the
ablest and best men in all the State
| for the political offices.
The Age-Herald believes the people
will select wisely. To do SO the duty
devolves upon every Democratic citi-
zen to aid in keeping the primary bal
lot boxes pure. The committee has
given all Democrats an opportunity to
express themselves, and it has fully
represented the people. 1t is now with
the people whether they shall exercise
their full rights and forever do away
with the continued talk of ring rule
and unfairness of elections in Ala
bama.
With the new copstitution and the
general primary plan everything pre-
walls in Alabama to make it the great
State as to politics and government
that it is industrially and CONNER,
cially.

Chancellor Carmichael's Decision.

The decision of Chancellor Car
michael in the Seaboard Air Line case
may be in some respects dog fall,
but in respect to the public it is wholly
favorable. because it permits the Sea-
board to build its line to the heart of
this town and district.
The decision is so -manifestly fair,
just and equitable, it should stand
without the Intervention of an appeal
Better still, the Frisco and the Sea-
board people should get together, and
act not only for their own good,
but also for the good of the district
from which they expect to derive bus
mess. The people of this district would
rejoice II they should hear that the
two companies had come to a mutual
and satisfactory agreement There is
every reason why they should do this,
for what is good for the district must
be good for each of the two companies.
The settlement of this matter by
practical railroad men on a practical
railroad basis. would give this town
and district an impetus that perhaps
no other single event could equal. 1t
would largely add to the demand for
coal, and it would make Birmingham
the gateway to the Atlantic of the
Frisco's immense business, which is
becoming larger every year. The
Frisco will in the long run become
trans-continental line, and Birmingham
will then be its eastern terminal, or
rather its eastern transfer station.
Let Mr.. Winchell of the Frisco and
Mr.. Barr of the Seaboard get together,
and when they get together let them
remember, not only the Maine, but also
the wishes and aspirations of this dis
trict, which is loyal to both roads, de-
string both, and welcoming both as
essential factors in the development
of the greatest mineral resources in
this or any other country.

KNEE BREEcHEs AND A BOOM.

From the Baltimore Sun.
''boomiet'' for Mr. Choate for the
Presidency, which was launched last
night at a dinner in London by Mr.. Don
NJ Dickinson, is likely to go the way of
the Dewey boom of laughable memory.
It really was very inopportune on Mr..
Dickinson's part to name Mr.. Choate for
the White House and to speak of him
as very near the hearts of the American
people" when, as a matter of fact, Mr..
Choate is being more severely criticised
than at any time of his service as Am
bassador at the Court of St. James, The
diplomats selected to represent this coun-
try in London have usually found 1t har-
der to be successful with their COM
patriots than with the people to whom
they are accredited. and Mr.. Choate, in
the language of the American boy and
many of the boys sisters. is up against
It," There is no denying that Mr.. Choate
made a mistake in trying to limit the
flow of American eloquence at the Fourth
of July dinner in London. 1t is about as
easy as to stop a big locomotive max
ing a record run. The pent-up anger
of the American banqueters, according
to cable dispatches. could not be kept
confined within the limits of the British
metropolis when It was additionally
learned that Mr. Choate. after putting
his embargo on fervid American talk.
had hurried away TO don his satin knick-
erbockers and take part In the Prince of
Wales. reception to the Indian princes.
"Snob'' and "toady'' were some of the
mild epithets that punctuated the gossip
concerning "our Ambassador" while It
is reported that the cable operators re-
signed IN a body rather than transmit
some OF the other things, that were said
about Mr. Choate. Is IL any wonder,
then. that Mr.. Dickinson is deemed I'M
wise in letting the Presidential bee buzz
In the bonnet of a distinguished diplomat
who is at present submerged in a large
tank of very. very hot water?

LittlefieId's Trust Bill.

Now that Congress has adjourned
and Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes cannot be put on record
especially the Senators-the admins
tration brings forward an antitrust
bill. Such bills flourish before cleo
lions when Congress is not in session.
We are asked to believe that a gen.
uine antitrust bill is to be prepared
and put through. But why was not
this done before Congress adjourned?
The assertion that this is to be done
when Congress meets is met by the
fact that in short session such a
measure is sure to be either talked 10
death or pigeonholed in the Senate
Mr.. Littlefield, with whom the Presi-
dent is said to be acting, introduced
his bill on the first day of the last
session. It is known as House Bill No.

by the Republicans who controlled
both Houses. and yet it is to be made
