Literaiure's New Trend.

In the days of the civil war Long fellow, Whittier, Holmes, Emerson, Hawthorne, Lowell, Thoreau and a dozen others were living, fitting to and from Boston, and that town was, beyond dispute, the center of literary production But all of it's great writers have long been dead, and few if any rise up from the sterile soil to take their places. New York soon became the publication center of the country, and to it came for a season those who had literary wares to sell. Many who depended upon the pen for a living abiding place. New York is still publication center, but it has ceased to be the center of production.
 It is acknowledged that the South and West are today the chief homes of writers whose works sell we'll No city can claim to be the literary cen ter of the country. Unknown writers who understand country life are filling a large place in the production of lit erature, and they are to be found in many States-in Indiana as well as in Georgia or Alabama.
 This new tendency of literary pro ductiveness away from cities and to the West and South, promises to be- come more marked as the century be- comes older. The wares produced in the rural districts will of course be marketed in the large cities, in New York or Shicago, but the commercial East will never, perhaps, monopolize as it did fifty years ago the writing of books. Literature has gone West ward and Southward to grow up with the country, and art will probably fol- low in it's footsteps.

Alabama at St. Louis.

The St. Louis Worlds Fair is to be a great exposition, possibly the great est ever held in this country; and 1t seems unwise to let the mineral, for est. field and shop products of Ala bama go unrepresented in it. When the Legislature meets it will be too late to put up building or to make preparations for a State exhibit. Nor is it certain that the Legislature would make an appropriation. The fair Is to be opened next spring, and If Alabama is to be properly represented, the CO., operation of the leading interests in the State must make a start at least. The iron and steel and coal men must join with the lumber and turpentine operators. and their efforts would no doubt be supplemented by what Com missioner of Agriculture Poole could furnish.
 At any rate the large companies in the State, and the large interests, should not wait upon the Legislature, which does not meet until next win ter. It is best to proceed without the expectation of much State help. An adequate exhibit of the States re- sources at St. Louis would be a good investment, and beneficiaries should get together and assess themselves for that purpose. There seems to be no other way of having proper display of the riches of the State. The un- developed riches of the State should have first place, for they are much greater than the developed. In fact. the chief object of an exhibit at St. Louis would consist in calling the at tention of the passer-by to the possi- bilities and opportunities to be found in this State.

Evolution With an Exception.

Evolution as first explained by Oar win and subsequently explained by the scientists of the intelligent world has encountered a setback It has met sprig of a prince of the house of Wit telbachers and it has been commanded to consider that house as strictly ex' ceptional. It can go on explaining the origin of other persons, but not or the Wittelbachers of Bavaria, who, it seems, were placed on earth by Provi- dence ito rule." At present they are ruling, not so much by the grace Of Providence as of the Emperor William as suzerain, Bavaria being an unim- portant part of the German Empire. If Providence, therefore, placed the Wittelbachers here to rule, it assigned them a secondary place, giving the Emperor William first place.
 However, the anthropoid ape must feel relieved, for the Witeelbachers have in recent years been spending a good share of their time. in padded cells. The mad princes and rulers of that house have been very numerous, and young Prince George, who has taken the Wittelbachers out of the op- eration of the theory of evolution, may be headed towards the home of his ancestors. The ape is to be congratu- lated. He should shake hands with Prince George He has been relieved of a serious charge.
 Science can go right on so far as the rest of mankind are concerned. The venerable and eminent Prof. Ranke, before whom Prince George happened to appear, can go on featuring and up holding science as he understands it, provided he makes an exception of the wittelbachers, which he should do as a friend of his simian ancestor. Some sort of special ancestral line will have to be devised for the Wittelbachers, and Balaam's speaking ass may yet be utilized in an unexpected direction.

Mere Convention Suhterfunes.

The conventionists, dismayed at first by the plain demands of the new electors for full rights, are now en- gagged in pulling themselves together, and they are sending out the important advice that the next Legislature and administration should be selected un- der the convention system, because We have no primary election law-that a Legislature of their own choosing will pass law, and that then they will let the people act directly. In other words. they want four years more of power.
 In the next place, they do not tell the truth The Morrow primary cleo tion law is a good law. It does not make primaries compulsory, but when a primary has been called it is alto gether sufficient. Governor Oates so considers it, and in his recent letter he thus presents it, having it before him in the States own book:
 Fraud in nominating conventions be- came so common that the legislature passed a primary election law approved February 8, 1899. It denounces as a mis- demeanor, punishable by fine and inn prisonment, the buying or offer to buy, the selling or offer to sell a vote at a primary. It prohibits the sale or giv- ing away of liquors and makes drunken ness at such election a misdemeanor. and charges the sheriff with the duty of main tainng law and order. The act prescribes the oath which the election officers shall take, and the eleventh and last section provides that any clerk. manager, in- spector or other officer who violates any of the provisions of this act shall be gull ty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than one hundred dollars"
 What better law is needed than this? The truth is, there is law enough, there is public sentiment enough, and there is precedent and actual authority enough in the State Committee to justify that committee in giving the electors of Alabama what they want. There are the demands of nearly every newspaper in the State, the Morrow law and the Tompkins resolutions. What more Is needed? I've new elect ors desire no postponement on account of the weather or the whims and ex- cuses of the anti-conventionists. They desire a chance to act for themselves candidates, and they have no desire to wait four years for such plain and undoubted right.

About Orcnestras.

Cincinnati makes the claim that the Thomas orchestra augmented to 150 for the May festival in that city will be the largest orchestra ever assembled in the United States, but that Is a mistake" said a Birmingham musician.
 "I have kept run of orchestras, and remember that MT. Thomas, some time in the eighties conducted a symphony band of over 200 in New York. It was on the occasion of a great festival held in the armory. There were fifty first violins, fifty second violins thirty-six violas, thirty-six violoncellos, and forty contra bases. I do not recall the wood wind and the brass choirs in detail, but the woods were for the most part dou- bled and in addition to the trumpets there were eleven comets. I never could un- derstand why Thomas used so many cor nets, or why he used any at all, for the trumpet is the real article and the cor net Is the imitation. But he certainly had a cornet corps that time.
 Mir. Thomas Is quoted as saying now that he is opposed to bands of over 1bU, and will never again direct one Of 200. The ideal orchestra is such an one as Thomas will bring here tomorrow-seven- ty pieces. That number allows for a strong string choir to play against the full complement of brass.''

MED BRACE TALKS ABOUT MEN WHO ARE CONSPICUOUS BEFORE PUBLIC RIGHT NOW

As a matter of fact, the peonIe of this country want a business man in the White House. They will not have any other Kind If they can help themselves. Iney are exceedingly disappointed in Roosevelt and venture the assertion that the next national convention of both political parties will select both their candidates for President and vtca President from men who have had ex- perience in business and legislative mat ters. They will not run after fighting men, but will seek men of general quail if1cations. -
 Speaking of political matters, the next contest for Mayor and aldermen in the city of Birmingham promises to be an interesting one. Mayor Drennen has an- nounced that he is candidate for a third term. Capt Frank o'Rrien has also announced himself a candidate. and there are several others, it is said, who will enter the contest later on.
 It is very evident at this time, that the people don't propose to vote for any candidate because of sentiment or for personal reasons. They want to know just exactly what Mayor Drennen has done since he has been in office. They want his complete record. They will judge him by that. They likewise want, and will demand, a complete and detailed platform of principles from other oar- didtes, and they propose to know just what they can rely on each one of the candidates to do in the event of his suc- cess.
 Birmingham are moving in the organiza- ton of committee of one hundred to be composed of representatives from every interest In the community-all substantial men interested in all classes of property in the community-and that this commit tee will probably put out a complete ticket for Mayor of the city and for alder men from each ward. It is not the pur- pose of this organization to oppose any, body who is in office now, but to take up matters relating to Birmingham's municipal affairs and to suggest the very best men it is possible to get to admin ister the affairs of the city. This com mittee may endorse Mayor Drennen, or may put out a candidate against him. At any rate, it is a settled fact that the men most interested in Birmingham pro- pose to take an active interest in the governmental affairs of this, city.

A GENERAL PRIMARY.

From the Alexander City Outlook.
 The people want a general state pri- mary this year. There Is no doubt about that. A fair, square and open fight is the best way for honest folks to settle their can be as honest as other folks. There Is no reason why the good Democrats of Alabama should not express their prefer Is no reason why honest men should not put their trust in an electorate that has been purged of its worst element. The of a general primary, and the state Dem- ocratic committee should so order it.

hand in hand; not that there is any affinity between heavy metal and the most subtle of all the arts. No two things, indeed, could be farther apart than iron and song. But the record of facts goes to show that the men en- gagged in the iron industry are liberal patrons of music.
 Birmingham, England, Is an iron cen ter, and Birmingham, England, has long been the foremost festival city of the Old World Pittsburg. the richest iron center in the United States, is noted for it's musical atmosphere, and it is today the home of symphony orchestra that rivals any symphony band in the big city of New York. And the younger Birmingham, "the Pitts burg of the South," is known from Boston to New Orleans as the home of a finely trained chorus and as the  most musical city in this part of the. country <
 Without attempting a psychological explanation of the combination of iron and music, one might say that it was due to the absolute necessity of recrea- tion of a sublimated kind after the severe strain involved in the work of operating mines and furnaces. Iron makers the world over are music lovers. And bankers and merchants and professional men who help to make up the iron communities catch the spirit of the "captains of indus try" and come in time to enjoy musi- cal art As for women, they all love music, and if the men and women of Birmingham who appreciate rich pro- grammes turn out to the festival to- morrow the capacity of the Auditorium will be greatly overtaxed. It should be so.

the book the more to the lineal foot of shelf space.
 This new fad of novel readers is one that should be encouraged, and The Age-Herald hereby urges them to carry it to the limit. The farther they go the better in that direction, and perhaps this fad will solve MT. Carnegie's problem, although his three year rule is an admirable one. But 1t is better if novel readers will of choice evolve solution of the problem than to bring in an arbitrary rule. The novel reader will accept his or her own rule as the case may be much more readily than a rule imposed by authority.
 Novel reading may as well go on until the surfeit point is reached, as 1t certainly will be after while, when things literary will become normal again. At present readers are in a maze. Members of literary clubs are racing to see which one can read tho most novels in a given time, and the record figures are astonishing. It is still more surprising that one that can read a hundred or so of the things and yet escape paresis, but it has been done and is being done right along. It is a craze that will cure itself after while.

Long Novels Not Wanted.

The fashion in novels has been changed again, and the long novel has been boycotted. Readers no longer want an agony long drawn out, else they see the tide before them and are anxious to pull another out of it, or else they feel their minds wavering under the fiabby pressure. No matter what the reason be, the long novel is discarded by publishers, because read CTS have discarded others of like length.
 It goes without saying that the shorter the current novel is the better for all concerned. Less time is wasted, fewer tears are shed by young women, and young boys do not dream so many dreams of border warfare. There is . saving all around. including one of space in public libraries. The thinner

will be returned to the Senate after his successful opponent in the recent elec- ton shall have served one term.
 
 Men in political life are always subject to criticism. Many of them get more than they deserve. During McKinley's administration all the world was abus- ing Mark Hanna. Now, apparently, all the world Is praising Hanna and abusing President Roosevelt. Roosevelt Is an err ratio genius. He takes notions, 80 to speak. and often flies off on tangents. It is now said that he proposes to veto the River and Harbor bill and all the Sena- tors and Representatives in Congress are up in arms against him.
 Of course, no one seriously expects Roosevelt to veto this bill, but It Is very evident that he has expressed the opinion that 1t should be vetoed, and even such an expression as this has caused practi- cally all of Congress to turn against him, because almost every member got some appropriation for his district
 Hanna knows how necessary Congress sional support Is to success in national politics. He has therefore practically withdrawn his shipping subsidy bill be- cause of the opposition to 1t in the House. He thinks he can get 1t through after the Presidential election. He is anxious to defeat Roosevelt for renomination and to have some one friendly to him as the next Presidential nominee. Hanna ma- nipulates politics with that same degree of shrewdness that he exercises in busi- ness matters, and the chances are that he will be successful in his contest against Roosevelt.
 
 By the way, 1t is beginning to look as if Mir. Bryan intends to make quite a fight against the nomination of German by the Democrats. Bryan and German have never been particular admirers of one another. German has the Democratic Congressional element behind him. He also has the Tammany strength of New York. Whether MT. Bryan will be able to overcome this and the influence of the Congressional committee remains to be man is the central 1.gure of Democracy Washington news is to the effect that Gen. Nelson A. Miles has a Presidential bee in his bonnet and thinks he has a possible chance of securing the next Dem ocratic nomination. Of course, no one but Miles views this talk with any degree of seriousness It is doubtful if he could muster a single vote in the next Demo- cratic convention.

THE STATE COMMITTEE.

From the Greenville Advocate.
 From a special in The Age-Herald from Montgomery we learn that only five of the thirty-five members of the State executive committee announce themselves as in favor of the general State primary plan for nominating candidates to fill the State offices this year. Not great many of them have openly expressed themselves, but enty-eight out of thir- ty-three are put down against State primary. Of course, they may be induced to vote for primary if sufficient pres sure is brought to bear upon them by their constituents, but the history of committeeman generally is that they vote their individual views instead of the wishes of their constituents. We hope. however, that this will not be the case this year. We believe the Democrats or Alabama want straight, clear-cut. hon. est State primary, and if they so express themselves their wishes should be needed by the executive committee.
