The Seahoard and the Frisco.

The purchase of the Belt Railroad by the St. Louis and San Francisco system in a measure relieves the rail- road situation in Birmingham, in that there can now be no good reason why the fight to shut the Seaboard out of the use of the only streets by which it can enter Birmingham, without seri- ous inconvenience to property owners, should be continued. The AgeHerald is of the opinion that the interests of the Frisco and the Seaboard are in a maesure mutual. The Seaboard is compelled to use a portion of Thirty second street and part of Tenth ave nue in order to get into and through Birmingham and to connect with the other railroads. These streets are not built up; there can be no inconveni- ence to property owners, and the Frisco would make mistake to con tinue the fight of the former Belt line owners against the Seaboard.
 Indeed, after the argument of the case in the Chancery Court Friday, whatever might be the judges de- cision, it is hoped and believed that the two great systems will agree to cooperate rather than to fight each other and that the rights which have been accorded each shall be respected by the other.
 Birmingham wants harmony and spirit among it's railroads as well as among all it's people to pull together and build up rather than to pull down.

Anti-Anarchy Bill.

The anti-anarchy bill passed by the House is a new measure-a substitute for the Senate bill, and it must there fore go back to the Senate. The bill was voted against by thirty-seven Dem- ocrats, including MT. Underwood. and by one Republican, MT. Loud of Cali fornia.
 It contains, to say the least, some provisions that are capable of misuse in excited and impassioned periods. The Senate bill was conservative and sensible measure devoted solely to the protection of the President, but the House has adopted some anti-anarchy provisions that may be used with ef- feet by reckless officials against free speech and freedom of opinion. For example, the House bill provides that any person who advocates the unlaw- ful killing of an officer of the govern mept or of the government of any

Restocking Boer Farms.

The American steer has supplanted the American mule in South Africa. Instead of the striped-legged mule, bulls and heifers are wanted in large numbers, and already one cargo has been shipped to Natal, and many other ship loads are to follow until the Boer farms are restocked. So great is this business to be that line of steamers has been established to meet it, ply ing between Galveston and South Afri- can points. The mule trade in that quarter of the world brought us about $500,000 a month, and the cattle trade that has sprung up in it's place prom ises to equal it througout a year at least.
 The British government wants, too, none but the best. The best breeds of Aberdeen Angus and Herefords are wanted, and none other are taken. These are taken to a "remount" sta tion and there inocuIated against tuberculosis, and then shipped away to render Boer farms again productive, for South Africa is largely a grazing country.
 This movement will give the six

civilized nation, or who openly justifes such killing with intent to secure the commission of any of the offenses named in the bill may be heavily fined and imprisoned from one to twenty years. All depends upon the manner and breadth of execution of this pro vision. Fairly applied 1t would be harmless, but if applied by partisans in time of high excitement 1t might be productive of serious trouble and injustice.
 The blll contains a similar provision ulrected against the meeting of an- arehists, aiming to make such meet ings conspiracies. Even if the meet ings result in an overt act, the mem- bers of such meetings may be fined and imprisoned from one to five years. Here again all lies in the manner of execution, and the man does not live who can say where the line between lawful and unlawful meetings would be drawn, especially by heated parti- sans. Such provisions are wholly un- called for by any condition that ever has existed in this country, or prob- ably ever will
 The bill now goes to a conference committee, and it is to be hoped that the radical propositions which touch if they do not trench upon freedom of thought in this country may be stricken out. Public sentiment desires the protection of the President, but # does not desire the suppression of any of the rights that make America em- phatically a land of freedom.

packers further opportunity or rather excuse for advancing prices. They can now say that the British are taking the best cattle, although the number they will take will not equal one days receipts at the chief packing points in the Northwest. But facts hke that are disregarded by the meat trust when it wants an excuse for ad- vancing prices. The 10000 head that the British government will take will be made to do duty for ten times that number at least when it comes to the making and maintaining of prices, and Congress and the Republican party refuse to take off duties on cattle and cattle products. Thus consumers in this country are added to the victims of the Boer war.

Mill Filter the Water.

The Birmingham Water Works Com pany, through its president, J. H. Purdy. announced to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen last night that it had decided to begin work at once on filtration plant to filter all the water supplied to the city of Birming- ham. It will cost the company sev- eral hundred thousand dollars to do l this, but they ask, not as a condition, but as matter of fairness, that the city will aid them in stopping the present enormous waste of water and to allow them to put in meters on wasteful consumers.
 This announcement was made by MT. Purdy after he had read to the meeting the report of the two sani- tary experts employed by the company to examine the water, and who stated that while the water from Five Mile creek supplied to North Birmingham
 
 might need filtration as a matter of precaution, both it and the supply from the Cahaba, furnished to the rest of the city, was pure and only subject to pollution by accident. The water company in fact fully complies with the demands made upon it by the city as expressed in the Gray resolution, and all they ask is that their water be not wasted
 In all of this the water company appears to have acted in a progressive and public spirited way, and their re- quest to be protected from having their water wasted Is in every sense reasonable and just. The report of the experts show that over 220 gal Ions per capita is consumed in Bir- mingham daily, while 100 gallons is considered a liberal estimate.
 Water furnished to cities is a com ihOully JuSI dS gas or eIecJTlclJy. It is fair proposition that each individ- ual or corporation should pay for what they use, and the city will doubtless meet the company half way in accom- l plishing this result
 Meanwhile, it is a relief to know that the water We are using is not as black as painted; in fact, the com pany's experts say it is better than the surface water furnished most cities, and that the results of the analysis of the Cahaba supply show that the conditions as to purity have l been rarely If ever excelled.
