tory schedule than the Congress itself can do. but their work would have no more binding force on that body than would a schedule agreed on by com mittee of the two houses.
 If the Congress could and would. by bill or joint resolution. authorize the for nation of a tariff commission. and if. when that commission finishes its work. Congress would ratlfy it without any change whatever, then we might hope that some good would be accomplished, but we fail to see how this Is possible or probable. It is absurd to think that all the members of the two houses would be satisfied or pleased with any plan that could be presented, and if the work of the commission must be subject to discussion. alteration and amendment what is gained? The argument that such a commission will relieve Congress of the work of preparing a schedule applies witn equal force to a subcommittee of their own body, or to one of the regular com mittees, for that matter.
 It is a hard proposition which the Re- publicans have before them, beyond a doubt, but it looks very much as if they will be compelled to meet it, and if the Democrats do their duty the question will be forced on the now dominant par ty and they must meet 1t and settle 1t or dodge it. To dodge 1t will be ruinous cowardice and to settle it will mean a fight in their own ranks. All the same. we are slow to understand how a tariff commission can settle it.

A RAILROAD NEEDED. I.

The people of Clay County are very hopeful over the prospect of railroad fa- ciiities Of which they are badly in nee1. The road HOW being built from Talladega out to the graphite mines some miles north of Ashland will afford some relief but not all that Is needed. The survey now In progress of what has been known is causing renewed hope in the hearts of the people of the county and we would be glad to see their hopes realized.
 There are few counties in Alabama more in need of a railroad than Clay is. for that Is fast becoming one of the important sections of the State. The min aral resources of the county are won derful. and their development has been delayed largely on account of the almost total lack of transportation facilities. With these supplied by one or more railroads traversing the county, Clay will become a most important and de- parable section of the State. Not only the mineral, but the agricultural and umDer flCnes or that county are enOrm- ous, and we shall be glad to see them properly developed and utilized.
 There was a time within the memory of many now living when railroads cut but little figure in Alabama, but it is not so now. They are so common and so extensive that a county without one is left far behind, and must see the more favored sections going up while it re- mains staffitionary. The agricultural and timber productions of Clay are not by any means insignificant, but the mineral possibilities of the county are wonderful, and they cannot be fairly developed with out adequate transportation facilities. We certainly hope to see a road crossing the county at an early date.

French Laws Against Drunkenness

London Chronicle.
 Sitting the other day in a French cafe I noticed placard legibly displayed. headed. Law for the repression of public drunkenness and for combating the pro- gress of alcoholism" l procured copy of the placard and found therein certain points of interest from the social science standpoint. The law Is an old one. It is dated 1S72-1S73. and has appended the names of Jules Greyy. A. Thiers and E. de Goulard. It provides for the infiiction of 5-franc fine on those who are found drunk in public places Ii a second of fense be committed within a year of the first conviction Imprisonment for a pe- riod varying from six days to month may be inflicted. with a fine of from l6 francs to 300 francs. sundry penalties nl- 80 follow conviction at the Police Court of persons who have twice been found guilty of drunkenness. They are de- prived of the power of voting, cannot serve as jurors or hold public office, and are otherwise degraded from public ser vice Drunk people are not allowed to be served under pain of fine, and to per sons under the age of l6 years alcoholic liquors must not be served. The placa I'd in question by law must be exhibited at the municipal offices, cafes and othsr places where liquors are consumed.

AN ABSURD STORY

Some of cur esteemed anti-Cleveland contemporaries have been trying to make capital out of the alleged statement Of Pisrpont Morgan thatl the people should nominate and elect Mir. Cleveland If Morgan ever said anything of the kind. which Is very doubtful, it must have been in his sleep, for he we'll knows that MT. Cleveland is not the man to protect Or encourage what he stands for. In his message to Congress in December, 1896, MT. Cleveland referred to the trusts and declared that their tendency lis to crush out individual independence and to hinder on prevent the free use of human char acter. Through them the farmer, the ar tisan, the small trader, is in danger of being his own master, watchful of all that touches his country's prosperity. in which he has an individual lot, and in- terested in all that affects the advant- ages of business of which he is a factor, to be relegated to the level of a mere appurtenance. to a great machine"
 Those who know MT. Cleveland best know that he Is a man who does things, and that If he were now President he would not waste time talking until he had exhausted ali the resources at his command to abate the evil to which he had reference. The idea of such a man as Morgan, representing the interests he does, advocating Cleveland for Presi- dent, Is absurd on the face of it. He may be dissatisfied with Roosevelt, but he is not going to make a publicati ,n of his desire and sentiments That is ot his style, by any means, for he, also. is given to doing much and saying little about it.

FORGET IT.

The New Orleans Picayune insists that the Democratic party's only hope lies in dealing with living issues-a proposition which seems to be pretty generally &C., cepted, at least by all thoughtful Demo- crats. Says The Picayune:
 From purely political. or strictly party point of view, the folly of another at tempt to carry the country for free silver you'd be equally evident. The country has already twice rejected by over whelming majorities, the silver plank in the Chicago platform. There Is no long CT any general interest in that question ana no inconsistency is involved in its omission from any declaration of Demo- cratic principles. If the Democratic party IS ever to win another national victory IL must make a platform which will deal exclusively with living issues, and which will not inevitably exclude any consid- orable part of any of its normal strength from its active membership. And, above all. 1t would be preposterous to undertake 70 read any man out of the party because he would not support in 1895 or in 1900 a demand which 1t would he fatal to reas- sert today. Moreover. tho policy of the party should not he shaped to meet the requirements of any particular leader. If there Is any man in the party so we'd ded to his own views that he cannot stand upon any platform that has a chance to win, he must understand that be cannot be permitted eithrr to lead or to name leader for the Democracy.
 There is, outside of the Democratic and Republican parties, a body of indepen- dent voters which has held, so to speak, the balance of power in more than one campaign within the last twelve or fif- teen years That element will not give its support to any party whose useful ness Is impaired and whose unity Is con- stantly menaced by the virulent dissen- sions of it's leaders or by a factional spirit in its rank and file.

NOT A FEASIBLE SCHEME

There is considerable discussion now on in connection with the tariff, and one of the propositions which is meeting with favorable consideration in some quarters is a tariff commission, but what would be gained by it? The settlement of that question must be done by Congress. and that body neither can nor will delegate it's powers to another tribunal. Congress cannot appoint a commission and give 1t power to formulate a tariff schedule which will be the law of the land. If it could thus delegate it's powers 1t will not.
 Suppose a commission should be ap- pointed, and that commission should set to work and prepare a tariff schedule en- bracing everything connected with the revenues of the Government, internal as well as import and export duties-what then? The work of that commission, when completed, would have to be sub mitted to Congress, and then would be- gin the same wrangle and endless discus- sion that always attends any legislation on this subject The work of the com mission would not be legal and valid until ratified by Congress and the Pres ident, and no one can suppose that all the members of the former would be sat isfied with any plan that could be pre- scented.
 It is useless for any Senator or Repre- sentative to try to shift the responsibility of settling such an important matter. We readily admit that a commission com posed of intelligent, well-posted busi- ness men of all parties would be mors likely to formulate a just and satisfac.

A Valuable Work.

The Plain Facts as to the Trusts and the Tariff, with chapters on the Railroad Problem and Municipal Monopolies. by George L. Bolen is just from the press
 This book is really information for the masses, meant to convey a sound knowl- edge of the trusts and the tariff. Con nected with these are so many social. po- ntical and economic questions of the day the average enlightened person must know about the conditions or be consid- cred ignorant. Both sides of the aues- tion are presented with no prejudice. The object Is to make the reader able to judge for himself-so that he may not blindIy rely upon platforms and speakers The information is up to the hour and pre- sented by topics. 1t ought to be in the hands of every man interested in current public questions.

Voting, and getting ready for voting, must be an expensive business in Marion County, Indiana. In a recent statement taken from the books of the county treasurer, items under the heads of "vot- ing outfts,' and putting up. taking down aad repairing election booths" amounted to something over s4,OOo in less than Ave years This has nothing to do with the expense Of holding elections, but simply for keeping up the places for people to vote. Voting surely comes high in h. diana.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses csr- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit Of the whole Held of newspapsrdom which comes under its notice. and one of these signs js the mystic symbol t01 denoting golden" which stands for high quality, and as thus explained:
 '.Advsrtisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the msrs number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with c single sym- boi: but there is Q higher grade. according to this standard authority, which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL OWI to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol I00I and is the only paper 70 distinguished in this section of the South.
