Tasks of the Dead Century,

We reprint the list of great works that the German scholars say were ac- complished in the nineteenth century, as follows:
 I. The establishment of the German em- pire
 ?. The proclamation of the rights of man.
 3. The discovery of steam as a motive power.
 4. Applied electricity.
 5. The discovery of narcotics and of antisepsia.
 6. The promulgation of the law of con servation of energy.
 '. The work of Darwin.
 3. The discovery of the modern scien- tihc method of judging things, which is based on exact observation.
 9. The discovery of the spectral an alysis.
 1n The discovery of the x-rays. Il. Beethoven's ninth symphony. 12. The second part of Faust" 13 The convention at Geneva.
 IA. The primary school and compulsory education.
 15. The movement in favor of woman's rights.
 Is. The exploration of Africa by Euro peans.
 We reprint the list, not for the pur- pose of criticizing any item in it, for each of the sixteen items is unassaila- ble. but we reprint it in order to add four more, namely:
 IT. The Suez Canal.
 IS. Freedom to slave and serf in all civilized countries.
 19. Development of Japan.
 20 Rise of athletics.
 The construction of the Suez Canal across the sands that lie between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, has greatly changed the course of com merce, and it has further demonstrate ed the value to the world of such works. It has promoted the ship canal that the United States will soon build at Panama or Nicaragua, and it cer- tainly deserves a place in the achieve ments of the dead century.
 It may be that the German scholars intend that item No. 2 should cover the liberty that came to the slaves of this country, of the serfs of Russia, and to those held in bondage in other parts of the civilized world, but if No. 2

SONNET xxx.
By William Shakespeare.

By William Shakespeare When, in disgrace with fortune and mems
 eyes,
 all alone beweep my outcast state And trouble deaf heaven with my boot
 less cries, And look upon myself and curse my
 fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope Featured like him. like him with
 friends possessed, Desiring this mans art and that mans
 scope,
 With what I most enjoy contented least Yet in these thoughts myself almost de-
 pising,
 Haply 1 think on thee. and then my
 state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at
 heavens gate; For thy sweet love remembered such
 wealth brings. That then I scorn to change my stats
 with kings.

Mir. nnI in Troy. Alabama.

An article in the Troy Messen- ger goes to show that the David B. Hill boom is getting down to business in this State. The Messen- ger aims to show that Governor Hill is the only Democrat in the land who can be elected President, because he can carry New York, New Jersey, Con- necticut, Delaware, Maryland and h. diana
 This is great news if true, but when and how did the Messenger discover that David B. Hill can carry his own State even? We add her the vote of that State in the last ten years:
 Dem. Rep. Plu'ry 1s92-President .. .I654. .s65 l609, ,350l 45,51s D. 1s9s-Sec of State. 52o. s14 l545. O9Sl 24 ASA R. 1S9EGovernor.. =.

There is nothing in these figures from which much comfort can be ex- pected except the vote in 1897 for All ton B. Parker, now Chief Justice of the State. This was really due to the in- dependent candidacy of MT. Low for Mayor in New York City, for in the following year MT. Roosevelt was elect ed Governor and the State gave heavy majorities in 1900 to MT. Mckinley and MT. Odell. Governor Odell is again a candidate for Governor, and il MT. Hill thinks he can carry New York let him rush in and face the music Let him defeat Governor Odell. Ht will then be an available candidate III to the Messengers expectations, ant he will not be one minute before. Thus far he has showR no intention of put ting himself at the head of the Demo cratic forces in his own State. The nomination can be had by him for the asking. He is the political boss of the State. Let him show what he can do Until he does this. he is not on the eli gible list.
 The Messenger overlooks the fact that it's hero Is opposed to an income tax, something that the Democratic party is pledged to sustain and that nearly every Democratic convention of this year demands. Is the Messen ger prepared to kick this proposition out in order to bring in a man who dares not face the voters in his owr State this fall?

LT practically no coal mined in the
 IN Birmingham district. because of S-a disagreement between the op- orators and miners as to a scale of wages to govern coal mining for the next twelve months. The miners have made money for twleve months past Prosperity creates additional desire and more expen- sIYe tastes. and the miners would. there fore, welcome more luxuries after days of great toll. They asked for whole lot of things. The operators figured a bit and found that ice cream for the miner meant co1c tea for them. They declined the demand. and there was a temporary stoppage of work In the mines. But week of 1t has apparently been enough The miner wants all he can get and the operator wants profit So there Is to De a compromise, and the alleged strike Is practically at an end. Both the miner enc operator will have sufficient left for an occasional ice cream diet.
 On Tuesday or Wednesday the miners are to shoulder their picks and shovels again. and the tipples will dump coal into tle cars as in former days. The era of artivity and work in the Birmingham district is to continue and from all pres cut signs there is to be prosperity and plenty for all

 President Roosevah's FIiishara Flea.
 The Presidents Plttsburg defence of his administration and party may be divided into. two parts. In the first part he discusses the Philippines and Cuba. and he is aggressive, resolute and above all else definite In what he says and advises. He says Cuban reel proeity will come 'as sure as fate,' and he said that peace and civil rule had come in the Philippines, and that any spark of rebellion in the archipelago will be quickly stamped out. Here Is positiveness and directness, even if there be in it very litLle of real Democ- racy.
 But when we come to Part Two, which relates to the trusts, then it Is that we encounter generallties only platitudes as a rule, and noth ng that is plain, practical or positive. We are led from the sunlight into haze, and the more words the more haze. No one can read the latter half of the Presi- dents speech and say what 1t means. It is absolutely and thoroughly evas- i've. He does acknowledge that the trusts and great private fortunes and corporate wealth constitute the chief danger and problem of the times, but when 1t comes to the naming of remedy he suddenly loses all his posi- tiyeness and straightforwardness.
 There is but one public remedy against the trusts that Is at all just and practicable, and all men know what 1t is, namely, a repeal of the Dingley items that render inordinate taxation on their part possible. When they can not regulate prices, then they will dis appear. They were formed for that purpose and for that only. They are each and all for the steel trust down. ward based on Dingleyism, for that beautiful and sacred scheme shuts out the rest of the world, leaving the trusts free to establish monopolies in their respective industries, and free, of course, to exploit the home con- sumer. Every intelligent man knows this is the situation. MT. Roosevelt knows 1t is, and yet he did not utter a word at Pittsburg touching this rem edy, the only one the situation really l affnrds

see it. This, as pretty much all
theatre patrons are aware, has been
fully taken advantage of by a
horde of irresponsibles and pro-

the Stetson production has been
the leading one, steadily advanc-

advancement in stage craft. The

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

The general election held last
Tuesday which resulted in a re-
publican victory throughout the
country, except of course in the
southern states, was one of the
greatest victory the republican
party has had during an off year.
We have a good working majori-
ty in the United States, Senate
also in Congress, and we will con-
trole the next Congress which will
insure good legislation, for atleast
two years. Iowa went republi
can as usual, electing all her
state officers and all her congress
rnen except one, Mr.. William
Huffman was defeated in the 2nd
Congressional district, of which
Judge Wade was elected this was
an ample yindication Of the repub-
lican principle and the administra-
tion of President Roosevelt. It
will be productive of much good
to the country and prosperity to
our people.
