ReIIuIous Troubles in France.

Premier Combes was once a priest himself and a professor of theology. But that was a long time ago. He is now a politician, aud very adroit one, and he is not friendly towards the clericals at all. He Is said to be the author of the law of associations that was passed during the existence of the Waldeck- -Rosseau ministry, but not fully enforced by it. The law of associations requires certain schools controlled by certain associations to apply for government authorization. About 1900 schools did not apply for authorization under tbe associations act, and it is these schools that NJ. Combes proposes to close. These schools are chiefly conducted by nuns of the teaching orders, and the closing of them will deprive 150,000 children of convenient education facilities.
 The schools have not very good case. They seemed to have refused to apply for authorization upon tho advice of some scheming politicians, and now that they are face to face with the government they can readily secure peace and governmental sane tion by applying for authority to teach. Thus far some of them have refused to do this, and rioting of mild sort has grown out of the gentle squabble over the religious schools.
 The reactionists are endeavoring to utilize the friction that has arisen over the unauthorized schools, but they will not be able to accomplish much through it. Some of the unauthorized schools have been closed, and the chil- dren thus turned out are finding places in the pubi4c schools of the country.
 Public sentiment is about evenly divided and the entire incident will soon be forgotten, with the chances in favor of a compromise that will per init the schools to be reopened under limited governmental supervision.

TURNED AGAINST REFORM.

From the Mobile Register.
 We print this morning enough of Hon. John B. Knox's address, 1elivered last night, to show that 1t is a masterful presentation of the paramount issue be- tween former Governor Johnston and present Governor Jelks. We can assure our readers that they will find in this address food for reflection.
 It is to be observed that MT. Knox pre- sents a new explanation of the former governors reversal of policy in regard to constitutional reform. Heretofore, it has been generally accepted that when the governor discovered that the con- vention which assembled to call a con sttutionel convention was not in the control of his friends, he turned against the proposed reform, and did his best to kill it. MT. Knox admits this as one of the explanations of the former gov ernors action, but not as the chief ex- planation. He declares that there can be no doubt that the former governor turn ed against the reform movement and fought it because he thought that such action on his part would be popular; that it would appeal to the imagination of the populists, and that he would be able to build up party made up of his devoted followers and the populists and negroes; and. by defeating old man Morgan, be- come 'the biggest man in the state."
 This explanation is plausible in itself, but is very strongly supported by the former governors actions, following his forcing of the resembling of the call for a convention. He did, indeed, appeal to the hosts of populists; he told them, through his organs that it was the pur- pose of democrats to disfranchise them and put the black belt on top with the aid of registered negro votes He went up against old man Morgan. and that was his Waterloo. Had he succeeded, he would have been "the biggest man in Alabama" but he did not succeed; he failed miserably. Now he comes back as champion of all tho virtues. It re- quires but few delft strokes from the eloquent weapon of such a man as John knox, and his pretentions are fully ex- posed to the gaze of a pitiless world.

Removing Dewey's Debris.

q sec the government has let con tract for the removal of the ten Spanish ships sunk by Dewey in Manila bay" said a traveller at tho Hiliman last night. 'Thc contract calls for the hulks to be moved within one year. and the contractors have given $1O,0O0 bond con ditioned to accomplish this. They do not pay the government anything for the ships, the trade being that they get them for the trouble of removing them from the harbor.
 This is a speculation pure and simple on the part of the contractors. who hope to sell the old material for enough to pay them for tho cost of removal It is junk transaction, for it is not prob able that anything of value will be found in the ships. I believe it was Captain Hobson who discovered that the Span iards had themselves sunk some of these ships and if this is so, it is more than probable that when they deserted them they took everything of value, that is ev- erything that was portable Still there is a fascination about sunken treasure and people will spend two dollars to get back one from the depths of the sea-"

Cuba's Public Schools.

The secretary of public instruction in Cuba wants $4,O00,O00 for years work in his department. But to want such sum and to get it in Cuba are two very different things. The popula- tion of Cuba Is scarcely equal to that of Alabama, and the condition of Gu ba's population is poor indeed. Ala bama would consider a levy of $4,000,- 900 for school purposes heavy tax and it is certain that Cuba will con slider it well nigh out of reach
 When Spain ruled the island there were but S9S public schools, accommo- dating S5,159 scholars, at an annual cost of $730,5S9. When Free Cuba be- came a fact 1901 schools were opened with an enrolment of 264,472 scholars, at an annual cost of $2,909,O45. Even this enrolment was but 47 per cent of the entire school population of the island. The number between six and eighteen years of age in the island exceeds 6O0,OO0, and the schools estab- lished in Free Cuba gathered in about one-half of this number.
 The defeat of reciprocity will doubt less check at least the work of educa- tion that had been so bravely begun in Free Cuba. Dingleyism has long fin- gers, so long that some of them reach to the helpless little ones in Cuba. It is reasonably certain that the sum needed in Cuba for school purposes cannot be supplied from the Cuban treasury. The Cuban people are pov- erty-stricken, and the island cannot borrow money, and there seems to be nothing but a slipping back to South American ways and methods. It is to this we doomed the Cubans when We let the trusts defeat reciprocity.

 Machinery valued at s15O0o0. to trans form Into valuable product the material which but few years ago a sugarhouse would have thrown away.
 That gives pretty good Idea of the value of bagasse as the base for high grade wrapping paper.
 And 1t is high grade. very high grade, paper that is being turned out at the Wentworth paper mill still. the mill is not ready for business for the superin- tendent is laid up with a broken head. the result of an accident; the mill force is yet to be thoroughly broken in. and more work is to be done, partly in the way of experimentation with different combinations of chemicals and propor- tions of rag and bagasse. before the com pany will formally announce its readi- ness to book orders for a specified grade of paper.
 General Manager Campbell of the Uni ted Railway and Trading company was in charge at Wentworth yesterday Super intendent Thomas, the night before the first paper was to have been made, was injured seriously by heavy pulley fall ing upon his head. He is still laid up. and as he is the only all-ronnd practical paper man al Wentworth. operations are of course hindered by his Illness.
 MT. Campbell was looking after things generally as an all-round business man. leaving details in this department and that to the department men best quail fled to direct.
 Labor was learning to do it's work in the several departments. The work was new, and negroes who had worked all their lives in the cane field found much interest in the different rooms of the paper mill. This was especially true in the mill proper. where a watery fluid falling upon a moving perforated brass screen. and travelling a few feet became a sufficiently cohesive mass in the form of a thin sheet to be put between the steam-heated cyiindical rollers and to finally wind itself in great coils of hand- some brown wrapping paper at the rate of 400 feet a minute.

Tariff Reform in Iowa.

The Dingley schedules are threat ened, not only by reciprocity, but also by the Iowa republicans led by Gov ernor Cummings. Iowa Is full of school houses, and the idea has leaked out that Dingley prices for home consum- CTS are a direct tax that goes into bulging pockets, and the Iowa republi- cans do not propose to stand such taxation any longer. Tariff revision is an issue among western republicans, and Governor Cummings is it's prophet.
 When tariff reduction becomes an issue in republican conventions, it may be assured that tariff robbery is be- ginning to be understood. The Iowa republicans say excessive duties should be reduced, and especially those of the trust-creating sort, and they are demanding such action at the hands of the next congress.
 But this is the voice of the farmer --of the humble rank and file in Iowa. The powerful Speaker Henderson and the slick Senator Allison say the Ding. ley schedules are still sacred and that they must not be touched. They really mean that nothing must be done to lessen republican campaign subscrip- tions, as national campaign is ap- preaching. It is always approaching in their minds, and 1t is safe to assume that the leaders will see that the farmer movement in the northwest is squelched. The sugar trust and the steel trust and other concentrated and powerful interests will see that it is or know the reason why. The meat trust, the paper trust and hundred osDer trusts, each having hand in the pockets of consumers, will pull in a

THE woopcHuck.

From County Life in America.
 Perhaps no wild mammal is more fa- miliar to country people than the wood chuck. Every hillside and meadow is dot ted with the small piles of earth which mark the doorway to his home. The wood chuck prefers a hillside or a knoll in which to dig his hole. for here he can than the beginning, thus avoiding the danger of being drowned out What could be more unlike a general appearance than a woodchuck and a squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both belonging to the same family of mammals. The trim body, sharp claws and agility of the squirrels make 1t possible for them to lead an ar boreal life, jumping recklessly from branch to branch. while the fabby form and short legs of the woodchuck better adapt him for digging than for running or climbing.
 The nature of the food of the woodchuck is such that he cannot lay up stores as the chipmunks do. nor it is of such kind that 1t can be obtained during the win ter. The case of this creature during the winter seems to be. therefore, one of 'sleep long and soundly or starve" Dur ing the winters sleep or Information life processes go on very slowly.

CHICAGO WINS SUIT.
Council May Force Reduction In Price
 of Gas.

Chicago. July 30.-Judse Peter S. Cross cup in the United States circuit court to- day dismissed the amended bill of the Peoples Gaslight and Coke company, asking for an injunction against the city of Chicago, restraining 1t from enforcing the 75-cents gas ordinance on the ground of want of jurisdiction. A demurrer to the amended bill was sustained, and an appeal by the company allowed to the United States court in bonds of s61O,000. The court considered the Jurisdiction question and cited decision on a simi- lar case in Detroit.
 The appeal of this case to the supreme court marks the most important s,ep in a long and bitter technical battle by the city of Chicago against the Peoples Cas- light company to secure cheap gas on an ordinance regulating the price of gas at 75 cents a thousand feet The company now charges $1, and claims the right un- der its charter to increase the price.

like direction, and the farmer move ment will be frustrated.
 There can be no real tariff reform until the democratic party Is restored to power. The trusts have too strong a hold upon the republican party to permit free action on it's part. and the sole hone ~s relief lies in democratic success The tariff and the trusts one and the same thing-will be on trial in 1904. and if tariff reform is really desired the democratic nominee will be elected.

THE WAVING OF THE CORN.

By Sidney Lanler. Ploughman, whose gnarly hand yet kindly wheeled Thy plough to ring this solitary tree With clover, whose round plat reserved a-field, In cool green radius twice my length may Scanting the corn thy furrows else might yield, To pleasure August bees, fair thoughts, and me,
 That come here oft together-daily I. Stretched prone in summers mortal ectasy. no stir with thanks to thee, as stirs this morn
 With waving of the corn Unseen, the farmers boy from round the hill Whistles snatch that seeks his soul unsought, And fills some time with tune, howbeit shriil; The cricket tells stright on his simple Nay, tis the crickets way of being still The peddler bee brones in. and gossips naught;
 Far down the wood, a one-desiring dove
 Times me the bearing of the heart of love; And these be all the sounds that mix. each morn,
 With waving of the corn. From here to where the louder passions dwell, Green leagues of. hilly separation roll; Trade ends where you far clover ridges swell. Ye terrible Towns, ne'er claim the trem- bling soul That. craftless all to buy or hoard or sell, From out your deadly complex quarrel stole
 To company with large amiable trees,i Such honey summer with unjealous bees, And take Times strokes as softly as this morn
 With waving of the corn.
