Suqar and Reciprocity.

The proposed concession of 20 per cent to Cuba in tariff rates is beggarly and inadequate. It is Dingleyism at its worst. The duty upon sugar is now about 1.6 cents pound The re- duced rate would be IS cents. It is not enough to bring prosperity to the island. As Cuba cannot supply the needs of this country lower rate could be established without impair ing the value of the bounties now granted to the sugar people of this country, beet and cane growers.
 But even this small concession car rfes with 1t condition that Cuba may resent, and assuredly would resent if she were in an independent condition. It is to be granted on the condition that Cuba adopt our immigration laws. This is a blow aimed at John China man. It seeks to keep planters in Cnsa from procuring coolies. It is an attempt to legislate upon labor ques- tions for the Cubans. It has no proper relation to reciprocity, and is an of fensive and impudent condition in- serted doubtless to bring about rejec- ton of reciprocity in Cuba, thus shift ing the responsibility to the Cubans. In this respect it is tricky, evasive and disroputable.
 The entire scheme Is regrettable, for it means that Cuban trade is not to be handed over to this country. A concession of 20 per cent will not give us control of the $40000,O0O of trade that Cuba offers to the world. Tho rest of the world will get the larger share of 1t. and our own Gulf ports will feel the loss. A concession of 50 per cent is needed. The question will come up again in caucus of Re publican members of Congress to be held next Monday, but there is little hope that the Dingleyites will grant a larger concession than 20 per cent, and even that upon the condition that they accept our labor regulations.

Seedsmen Busy.

'"This is our busy time and we are work ing day and night-all night-in order 10 keep up with the demand for farm and garden seeds" said Birminghams lead ing seedsman yesterday.
 'yVe have never had such a busy season as this. Our day shift goes off duty be- fore bed time and then our night shift of shipping clerks comes on duty. Seeds for planting are grown in various sections of the country. Our best sugar corn seed comes from Tennessee.
 with regard to tomatoes good seed come from Alabama and other Southern States, but the trouble is tomatoes have been blighted for several years past and this blight is general from Maine to Cali fornia. The horticultural bureau of the Agricultural department of the govern ment Is working especially for the better ment of the tomato. Specialists on seeds and blights have recently spent time in Alabama to find out, if possible. the cause of the blight
 But 1t is an interesting fact that with the inferior tomato which has been grown in the past few years, the tomato catsup on the market has been unusually good. Tomatoes may be insipid but tomato catsup is a more acceptable condiment today than ever before. Catsup is one of the few articles consumed on the table that is not adulterated."

Meruer Decisions.

The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case pre- scented by the Attorney General of Minnesota does not go very deep. It simply says in substance that proceed ings involving charters and corporate rights within State should be brought in State courts-that they alone have original jurisdiction of such cases. The Supreme Court decides this in a negative way of course, by refusing to accept jurisdiction in United States courts of such cases.
 This decision in no manner reaches the real issues in the case, and it In no way affects the case that Attorney General Knox will soon begin. The proceeding that Attorney General Knox proposes to begin under the .sherman act of 1890 will involve obedience to federal law by corpora xions engaged in interstate commerce.
 The Supreme Court decision really invites proceedings before the State courts on the part of State officials, while Attorney General Knox is con ducting a test case in the United States courts. And this is the prob able outcome. for the State officials of Minnesota and other Northwestern 6tates are getting ready to take up the fight anew on new lines.
 s The Northern Securities Company has years of litigation in sight, and in the meanwhile the matter will be passed upon at the polls, and litiga' lion may be supplied where there are deficiencies now. The people have some rights left and President Roose- vekt seems to be anxious to ascertain
 what those rights are.

charts upon which were drawn sec tions of a mosquitoes body, how q germ undergoes development, and he explained how the fever spreads after 1t had been injected into the blood by means of the probocis of the mos quito. After a certain time in the body the germ goes to the salivary glands as its resting place. It gets a good rest there, and when it is taken into the blood it is strong and az. gressive.
 The parasite must live upon some thing else, because it is not able of itself to assimilate enough food for its maintenance. It catches hold of a corpuscle of the blood, which becomes infected. This corpuscle breaks up into parts, and each part carries with it the life of the fever. The germs live for certain time, but when they die they break up into smaller parts, each again having the life of the fever, and each in turn affecting a fresh corpuscle. This goes on until either the patient recovers from the fever or succumbs to it.
 The mosquitoes that distribute ma laria are but two in number, and the family of culex does not include all mosquitoes. In New Orleans fourteen different species of mosquitoes have been identified. All no doubt carry disease germs, but some are worse than others. No mosquito is desir- able. and in Jones valley they could readily be exterminated if the health authorities would take hold of the sub ject in good season and in earnest.

Mesauitos and Yellow Fever.

Professor Beyer, who fills the chair of biology at Tulane University, con- siders the stinging, singing pests ac- countable for all malaria and yellow fever. It has been established beyond the possibility of doubt that the mos quito alone is the carrier of germs from infected to healthy bodies. The recent researches show that the body of the mosquito is made up of parts that serve as incubators Of febrile germs. A germ goes through pro- cess of development and growth, and after maturing in the body of the mos quito is injected into a well body through the probocis of the mosquito. well formed and ready for action.

TAFT FAvoRs REDUCTION.
Emphasizes Need of increasing Ap-
 propriation for Military Posts.

Washington, February 26.-Gov. Taft continued his statement today before the insular committee of the house. Referr- ing to the Philippine tariff he advocated a reduction of 75 per cent on tobacco, sugar and hemp. He emphasized the need of increasing the appropriation for per manent military posts as the present sys- tenn of using churches, schools and pri- vate houses as soldiers quarters did not assist toward tranquility. At times. too, he said, the officers took the best houses for their quarters and occasionally there were delays in paying the rent for native quarters.
 He said there should be thousand more American teachers in the island, In explaining the question of the friar lands, Governor Taft said it would be desirable for Congress to guarantee the bonds to be issued for the purchase of these islands as it would secure a low interest rate. The hearing continues tomorrow.

GEN. HARRISON A CANDIDATE.

From the Huntsville Mercury
 The rumors relating to the probable candidacy of Gen. George P. Harrison are constantly being renewed in different portions of the State. The story from Selma last week that General Harrison's friends were trying to learn if he could get the Dallas delegation to the State convention was merely a repetition of what has occurred in various other coun- ties in the State during the past few weeks.
 If Governor Jelks is to have opposition it must come from either General Harri- son or Captain Johnston. In view of the activity of the former one must conclude that Captain Johnston prefers not to en- ter the race if he can induce another man of equal strength to take up the fight. If other evidence Is necessary to prove this contention 1t may be cited that at least a dozen leading Alabamians have been mentioned in that connection.
 It is easy to understand why Captain Johnston prefers the election of a friend to the Governorship. If the unexpected should happen-if the Johnston ticket should win in the legislative contest-the captain would probably ask to be sent to the United States Senate. On the other hand, if the Johnston candidate should be elected Governor and vacancy should occur in the Senate by reason of the death of one of the Alabama Sena- tors, Captain Johnston would then be ap- pointed to the Senate. and his ambition would be gratified.

Supreme Court Changes.

It is believed three changes will oc- cur in the Supreme Court this year. Justice Harlan, who has served nearly twenty-five years, is nearly seventy years old, the age for voluntary re- tirement, and he may conclude to leave the bench. He is Republican, and a resident of Kentucky He has uniformly leaned towards the people and against the trusts and monopolies in his decisions, and he has never re- versed himself. He is still hale and strong, and it is hoped he will not leave the bench, for no probable ap- pointee of the Republican party will be apt to favor the mass of the people as he has done.
 Justice Gray is suffering from the effects of paralytic stroke. He is seventy-four years old, and has served over twenty years. He is entitled to retirement at any time, and doubtless his place will soon be filled by some New England lawyer. Justice Gray is the only New England member of the court.
 Justice Shiras will be eligible for retirement next October, when he will have served ten years and be seventy years old. He holds the unenviable record of swallowing his own decision in the income tax cases, and of giving the vote that deprived the country of that excellent tax and source of reve- nue. He, too, upheld the colonial de- cision rendered by Justice Brown, and both he and Justice Gray held that the Sherman act did not apply to rail- roads. The country will lose nothing from the retirement of either Justice Gray or Shiras, particularly of the latter. Justice Shiras was appointed to the bench by President Harrison.
 The three changes may operate to reverse the decisions of the, court in Philippine tax cases, for the colonial policy was upheld by one majority only-five to four. No doubt care will be taken to select men who will sus- tain the policy of the administration as to Porto Rico and the Philippines, but two men more ready than. Jus tices Gray and Shiras to sustain power and wealth probably cannot be readily found.

Larne Strawberry Crop.

''There is not much demand in Birming- ham for the Florida strawberries now on the market; the price is too high. But by the first of April Alabama straw berries win be plentiful and the demand will be quite equal to the supply 80 said MT. L. A. Townley the Morris Ave nue produce merchant.

 Ut is too early in the year to know about the Cullman crop. The Cullman strawberry beds are not yet in bloom. The South Alabama berries will bring about 15 cents a quart in April

OPPOSE EIoHT-HoUR LAW.
Concerns Doing Government Work Are
 Opposed to Bill.

Washington, February 26-The proposed limitation of work to eight hours a day on government work was again before the labor committee of the house today with representatives of several large concerns doing government work appearing in op- position. A. G. Dinky, general superin- tendent of the Homestead Steel Works. argued that the eight hour limitation would be objectionable to employees and employer and would seriously interfere with government work, if not make it i'm possible to do it.
 He concurred in the statement of Su- perintendent Johnson of the Bethlehem works, that the success of some of the large armor plates depended upon long CT shifts than eight hours. MT. Dinkey also set forth the satisfactory conditions of labor at Homestead under the present system. a.s5s7a a... aI.

STILL ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

From the Greenyille Advocate. Ca
 We understand that there is a move ment on foot at Birmingham among. the politicians opposed to Governor Jelks' re- election to get Hon. B. B. Conner to en- ter the race for Governor MT. Conner was great friend of Governor Johnston in the old days, and if Conner runs John ston will not, we suppose, be candidate. Governor Jelks has made an excellent Governor, and we see no good reason for making any change at the next election, and the people of Alabama will hardly set him aside to make place for Governor Johnston or any one of his choosing.
