Outlook in This nisirict,

Jones valley alone shipped away In the year 1900 pig iron and pipe to an aggregate of S47,OS6 tons. This amount included not little that had been brought over from the previous year, piled in furnace or storage yards, but although it included some 1899 Iron, yet the shipments reported by the railroads for 1901 ran to 9Sf, 900 tons from Jones valley alone, which is but a part of this district. e
 There are all told in Alabama, which is known in the outside world as the Birmingham district. fifty-one fur naces. Thirty of these were in opera. tion first and last in the year 1901, and 1t is believed six of the eleven idle stacks will become active this year. There are but two idle stacks in Jones valley, not counting those that are temporarily out of blast on account of repairs. If these two should be blown in, and the new Thomas fur mace should be put in operation Jones valley would be good this year for one million tons in actual shipments of pig iron, pipe and steel The ship ments of blooms last year rose to 60,000 tons, and this year they may go to 100000 tons. Steel rails will, too, become feature of this years shipments.
 The great lack of this district has been diversity. We have just ob- tained at Helena a tube mill, and we will not have a malleable iron plant until the new car works at Wylam are constructed. But Rome was not built in a day, and the great Southern iron center must creep before 1t can walk. But the creeping hereafter will be of brief duration if the government grants us an Open Warrior.

Government by injunction.

The Hoar bill, which proposes to stop government by injunction, has been reported favorably by the Sen ate judiciary committee, and will un- doubtedly be passed. It provides that no act in contemplation or furtherance of any trade dispute shall be deemed criminal, indictable or punishable as conspiracy, unless such act If com mitted by one person would be pun. ishable as crime. Such action shall not be considered in restraint of trade, and injunctions or restraining orders shall not be issued in relation there to-"
 The use of the injunction by sub serviant courts was never justified by circumstances, never warranted by the law or the constitution. It was usurpation pure and simple in the in terest of rich and powerful corpora tions. It was invariably an attack upon labor, and a resort of capital.
 The proposed law, together with public sentiment, will doubtless put an end to this peculiar phase of judi cia1 usurpation, and the courts will no longer be the allies of capital when ever labor and capital disagree. Some judges may attempt to interfere in behalf of capital, but their wings would be clipped by the proposed law.
 It should be passed, and that, too, by an unanimous vote. The vote upoE 1t will be closely scrutinized. The fact that the bill has been endorsed by the Senate Judiciary committee is very gratifying, for capitals strong hold is the Senate But, to tell, the truth, all are tired and ashamed of government by injunction, and desire to be rid of it.

cnha and the South.

If Dingleyism can be restrained a bit-if its greed, rapacity and az gressiveness can be checked so far as Cuba is concerned, there is a harvest in that great island for the South. General Wood says the Cubans con sume each year rice and cotton goods to the value of $10,000.O00 These goods should be supplied by the South, and they would be if treaty were re- gotiated on a basis that had for it's object the benefit of the trade of the country instead of the benefit of a few special interests, chiefly trusts. As things now stand Cuba buys where she sells-in Spain, in England and iD other European countries. She buys very little in this country, because she cannot sell here.
 General Wood then proceeds to argue in favor of an Open Warrior, although he does not know it, for he says:
 The island must also depend largely upon the United States. and should de- pend on the Southern states, being near est to it. for fuel. As yet but begin ming has been made in the coal trade. The sugar refineries and other industries have burned English fuel carried across the Atlantic, although few shipments have | been received of Southern fuel. The prices of coal have been so high that as yet the refneries extensively use bagasse, which Is not satisfactory in the modern methods of sugar making. The timber Is too valuable to be used for firewood With soft coal selling as high as sS per ton, almost an unlimited opportunity is offered to place a large tonnage not only at Havana, but at various other seaports It should be remembered that all of the important harbors are of sufficient depth to allow the entrance of vessels of con siderable size I should say the average ship channel has depth of at least ff- teen feet of water, and in some instances more. This allows the storing of coal which can be transported to the most convenient seaport to the center of con- sumption and not merely to Havana, to be transferred by rail at an extra expense.
 We do not want any better argu- ment than this in favor of an Open Warrior. If there were slackwater navigation in the Warrior the year round steam coal from this district could be laid down in Cuban ports at less than two dollars ton. Two dol lars, we say, and we stand by. 1t, and we are wholly within the bounds of :, truth.
 !. Besides rice, cotton goods and coal there are lumber and sugar mills and other machinery to be supplied and all of these things should go from the. South, for one can stand at Key West and almost see Cuba. Certainly one will soon be able to talk to the Cubans on the un-Dingleyized etheric currents, for thus far there is no duty on wireless messages.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT AFFAIRS OF
 INTEREST AT HOME AND ABROAD

which are already in commission and sailing under the American nag. while iu Is not sufficiently encouraging to those who would build slow freighters The steamship passenger service from Ameri- can ports is already in good condition. What we need are more freight boats capable of heavy tonnage. There should be regular lines of freighters from sa- vannah and Pensacola and Mobile, going to all parts of the world. which would carry our corn and grains and iron and steel and coal at low rates. A shipping subsidy bill. generous. in its provision to slow freight-carrying vessels, would mean much to the Birmingham district and to the entire South
 Subsidies are not generally approved by the Democratic party, but at the same time when we know that a Republican House, a Republican Senate and Re- publican President are determined to adopt measures to encourage shipping. am of the opinion that we people of the industrial south should strive to get our fair proportion of that which the govern ment is determined to expend. It is busi- ness rather than politics, and I hope to see our commercial bodies act in the mat ter.
 Speaking of Democratic doctrines, the Democratic party has been making a vigorous fight upon trusts, but it has failed of any material effect. Trusts are continuing and are spreading in every di- rection. All the cotton-seed oil mills in the south are now in a trust. All the gin factories in the south have likewise gone into a trust. And the fertilizer trust or- ganized in Virginia has extended through out the south, and I understand now that it has taken in every fertilizer factory in Alabama as we'll as in Georgia, the Caro- linas, Virginia and Tennessee. Thus the farmer must now buy his gins and his fertilizer from a trust, and he must sell his cotton seed to trust.
 All the railroads of the country are now in the hands of half dozen great corporations, and it will probably not be- many years before one gigantic corpor- ation will own them all. Such will prob- ably be the case with the street railway companies of the country. Already syndicate of New York, Boston and Chi- cago capitalists are organized to take i'm the street car systems of the larger cities of the country into one great oor- poration. The Birmingham. Atlanta and New Orleans street railway systems are now all owned practically by the same people. And as a matter of fact, the pub. lie does get better service from alleged trust-owned properties than from smaller independent concerns.

Joining the Catholics.

Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the English novelist, is to be formally received into the Catholic church." said Henry Austin Adams in private conversation at the Morris.
 Any one who read Helbeck of Bannis- dale could see Mrs. Wards Romeward tendency and any one reading Eleanor perceived that tendency even more clear ly. Mrs Ward was a natural born free thinker. She plumed herself on her az nosticism, but faith and the powerful in- fiuence of John Henry Newman have at last prevailed. Mrs. Ward comes of distinguished agnostic and literary fam lily. Her brother, Matthew Arnold, is an avowed scoffer at the Christian religion. No ones conversion to Christianity in the past twelve months will have such far-reaching effect as MT. Wards.
 "Brunitiere's conversion was of signal importance, but it did not make the stir that Mrs. Wards change will make"
