Coming His Way.

One year ago, it is stated. Senator Hanna was receiving $l.15 ton for coal at the mines; he Is now receiving $5 ton, resultant from xhe anthracite coal strike and tariff duties. He can, therefore. con tinue to say to his party, with much complacency, Let well enough alone!- Talladega Mountain Home.
 Hanna had chance to make some rep utation by ending the strike, but he is adding largely to his bank account by it's continuance We doubt very much if he had either the power or the desire to end it.

That is the Talk.

What we want to see. and what we in- tend to fight for is pure politics in Ala bsma, and we believe that governmental affairs can be run successfully without such fraud, and we believe that the Dem- ocl atic party can be successful without stopping so low-Ozark Tribune.
 That's the right way to view 1t and if the press will unite on the subject, we will have fair elections. The newspapers can enforce it, and they must do it.

Took Forty Years.

Tho negroes are ankry with the lily white Republicans for debarring them from their councils It took the negro nearly forty years to find out what the rest of the people knew all the time, that all the Republicans want of the negro is his vote.-Tuscaloosa Times.
 We don't know that they really cared much for his vote. What they wanted was to swell their numbers in conven- tions and to count in the distribution of the cffces, of which negroes got precious fow

How Would He LookP

How would Devery look as a bloated member of the United States Senate Could the other members of the body appreciate his individual attitude towards his mother tongue?-Birmingham News.
 We'll. the Senate has had some pretty hard cases connected with it during re- cent years. Devery, bad as he may be in some respects. Is better than some men who have held seats In that body.

Not A Bit Sore.

Montgomery is little sore because so many of the conventions and commit tees, hold their meetings here. That good city should remember that it had a mo- nopoly for many years and not feel badly that another city has grown up to di- vide honors with it.-Birmingham Ledger.
 You don't see the pint. Good men usu- ally attend conventions, and we want them to come to a town where they can feel safe. See?

Limiting Dogs.

There ought to be a law prohibiting any family, white or colored, from own ing more than six dogs. A great drove of dogs, if properly fed, is expensive, and the number should be restricted.-Clarke County Democrat
 Our venerable contemporary certainly places the limit high enough. Few men in Alabama, we should think. would want to keep more than six, unless they pro- pose to establish dog farms.

New York. September so.-Lleutenant Commander William V. Bronaugh of the United States navy committed suicide to- day on the battleship Kearsarge at the navy yard by blowing out his brains with revolver. Friends of Commander Bronaugh believe that he was very much worried over the manifold duties of his position as executive officer, which are considered to be more arduous than those of any other position of rank in the navy. Purne1l P Harrington, cap tain of the Brooklyn navy yard said:
 There is an epidemic of suicide in the navy as surely as there ever was an epi- demic of fever. Such thing may occur and can't be explained. The man prob ably has been thinking of the other sui cides, which are very sad affairs, and then in an unguarded moment tfe desire to try 1t seized him, and 1t was all over in a minute'
