THE LOUISVILLE 6 NASHVILLE.

In the general shake-up of railroads and railroad systems it is to be sincerely hoped that the old and popular L. and N. will not lose its name, it's identity. or it's management. The people of Alabama generally and of Montgomery especially have a wonderful affection for that rail- road and, generally, fer its officials. We know it is common to rail against corpo- rations, and often without just ground or excuse It may be that there have at times been just cause of complaint against this system. It may be possible that it has at some time shown or al- lowed discriminations in certain cases, which 1t might and should have correct. ed. :A
 Admitting that such has at any time occurred, It does not detract materially from the many claims which that sys- tenn has on the good will of Montgom- cry. Beyond doubt 1t has been one of the strong influences in the up-buildmg been liberal to our merchants and to ouf people, as we'll as to the city. There is never any important gathering or con vention in Alabama, political. industrial religious, social or anything else design ed to bring the people together for which the Louisville and Nashville Railroad system has not given liberal rates. It Is and has ever been friend of Montgom cry and a co-worker in building up the city's interests.
 We do not yet know what changes will be made in the personnel of the man agement or the officials of the road, but hope they will be few MT. M. H. Smith, the President, is one of the ablest rall- road men in the world. He is thoroughly conversant with both the theory and practice of railroading. and we hope he will not be superseded. And of the off, Icials, at least those of Montgomery, the people of the city have the kindliest feeling and hope they will be retained. From the highest to the lowest, almost or quite without exception, they are Montgomery people, and are interested Changes in railroad systems are made without regard to individuals or to indi- vidual interests, but we know the pep pie of Montgomery will join The Adver- User in wishing that our old favorite will retain it's name and it's management.

Titles of Royalty,

Members of all European royal faml- lies delight to travel incognito whenever they can, for it spares them a great deal of tiresome etiquette and contributes to their comfort in many ways. When Queen Victoria wished to be incognito she adopted her title of Countess of Bal moral. King Edward, when he was Prince of Wales, used the title of Earl of Ches- ter frequently when on the Continent. The Empress Eugene travels as the Countess de Pisrrefonds, a title chosen from a favorite shooting lodge in the Forest of Fontainbleau. The King of the Belgians is Count Ravenstein when he pays an informal visit to London or any other capital where he wishes to be unrecognized. The Queen Regent of Spain, who is just now enjoying her first real holiday out of Spain for some years, hides her identity under the title of Countess of Toledo; the Queen of Por- tugal, when she stays with her relatives in this country, is the Marqueza de Will lacoza; and the King of Portugal uses the incognito title of Count de Barcellos.

THE SOUVENIR EDITION.

This morning The Advertiser contains eight pages of extra matter designed as a newspapeh souvenir. It is not the habit of The Advertiser to induige in self-congratulation. but the removal into its handsome quar- ters. corner. Dexter Avenue and Law renee Street, is an event in the long life of the paper. and some self praise we believe is permissible. The Advertiser has every confidence in the ability, reliability and enthusiasm of the men who make it., and 'today's souvenir is presented as an evidence of that confidence.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The Amsrican Newspaper Directory uses cer- fain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole neid of newspaperdom which comes under its notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol l@l denoting sfsciden.s which stands for high quality, and is thus explained:
 "Advertisers value this paper mora for the eiass and quality of its circulation than for tbs msre number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited win a single sym Dol: but there is higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL e,Sa1 to describe ade4uatsly their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double goiasn symbol [09I and is the only paper 90 distinguished in this section of the South.

When Things Really Happen.

When things really do happen to our big men we like to read about 1t, but we don't care to read three-column article about a bruised shin written in language sufficient to almost paralyze even a coun- try editor.-Elba Cliper.
 But any kind of accident to the Presi- dent is a boon to the big dailies of the country. They can i'll pages of space about a Presidential sore toe. which saves the trouble of writing something really worth reading.

Why does The Choctaw Advocate speak # Connecticut as "a hopelessly Repub. t,aan'' State? Beginning with 1876 and ending with 1892 the Republicans might well have spoken of it as a hopelessly Democratic State. for 1t gave a Demo cratic majority in six out of seven of the elections held in that period. The Advocate knows why the Democrats of Connecticut quit gaining victories, just as they quit in various ether States which should have remained in the Democratic column.

Atlanta had a street fair last week. and the papers of that city say it wasn't a model of modesty and chastity. by a whole heap. Gee whiz and cigarette ducksi what did Atlanta think an Elks' street carnival was like, anyway?-a Sun day school?-Attalla Mirror.
 You don't mean to intimate, do you that Atlanta was fooled in the show? of course the promoters of it knew just what it was going to be. and that 1t would create a sensation. Atlanta would almost build a decent railroad station for the purpose of having herself talked about.

NOTHING GAINED.

When we read that Judge Feagin of Birmingham intended to punish all classes of pistol toters alike we had strong hope that he was going to break up the nef&- rious practice. and that equal and exact justice would be dealt out in at least one city in Alabama. That hope has re- cedved a severe jar by reason of a recent editorial in The Age-Herald. from which we make these extracts:
 The rich offender against the peace and security of the community will simply commute his sentence to work on the the pistol toter with ''pull' will en- deavor to secure from the Mayor, if pos- sible, pardon or communication of his sentence; seI,t The lava in other words: touch the rich. This does not render Judge Feagin's course valueless, but 1t largely reduces its value, besides setting up differences that ought not to be pro- noted.
 And, again:
 As the law now stands the rich and Tn . fuential can go about walking arsenals with immunity from Imprisonment or who goes armed and ready to kill must serve out his sentence. Such a distinc- tion between two conditions or classes in life should not exist.
 Those being the facts we fail to see that anything has been gained. or that the habit is more likely to be broken up in Birmingham than it is in any other place. The great obstacle in the way has heretofore been that the law would really punish none but the poor. and it seems that. however much Judge Feagln may do his duty in the premises the man with money or ''pull' virtually goes free. But there's no use arguing the question. for one thing is certain. and that is that the practice of carrying concealed wea- pons can never be broken up as long as the penalty can be paid with money or influence.

A Healthy Diet.

The Montgomery Advertiser headlines an editorial with the following query: De We Eat Corn-Cobs?" We can't tell, but if so, judging from The Advertiser s appearance, the corn-cob must be right healthy diet.-Birmingham News.
 We'll. we never heard of cobs being un- healthy. don't you see? In fact, we are not sure but diet of that material would be better for the average human than is much of the fine bread that we eat. But we are all right, thank you.

The esteemed Marion Standard argues for united action among Democrats of all shades of belief, and remarks:
 There is no disguising the fact that q large per cent. of Alabama Democrats favor the gold standard expansion and high tariff, the cardinal principles of the Republican Party, while a still larger per cent. endorses the Kansas City plat form from "a to izzard," with MT. Bryan thrown in. and The Standard is pleased to take its position along with the latter class.
 We have no word of censure for our contemporary for remaining loyal to what 1t believes is right. The question of free silver or gold standard cuts no figure in our State campaign, however. and The Advertiser and Stand

A TRANSFERRING NEGRO.

Some time ago a eolored man of Mem phis, named s. P Mitchell took occa-
 sion to pay glowing tribute to the Con- ly denounced by his own race. In let ter to The Memphis Scimitar he thus pays his respects to one of his critics. and though the matter is little out of date we republish it for its good sense:
 I want to say Mir. Greenway may be a good Republican, btu his idea of free speech Is entirely opposite to the so- called principles of his party, for he in inmates that my mails must be stopped for the tribute paid to the Southern Confederate" who is the best friend the American negroes have. While the eX- Confederates and their sons are in the South helping to educate the negro, the good old Republican Yankees are in Illi- nois running the children of color from the schools and killing the negro men hunting for work. While Mir Greenway denounces a negro for paying tribute of respect to the ex-Confederates who are taking care of the old and intirm negroes that were turned loose by the Yankees empty y-handed and barefooted, l am an outspoken enemy to the varmints who are continually jogging after the heels of our best Southern whites, who under stand and aid the negro.
 What this writer says Is well known to all the white people in the South. but 1t is rare for a colored man to speak out as he does. People who read Southern newspapers, and who pay heed to what they can find in them, are continually reading instances of the kindly care for the living and the kindly attentions paid to the dead of those who were slaves in the days of slavery. If the percentage of money paid into our State Treasury by the negroes could be compared with the amounts they receive for educational and other purposes it would open the eyes of some of the long-distance philan- thropists who think they know so much about Southern affairs Mitchell talked sense in the language we have quoted.
