Everywhere the sentiment in favor
of school district consolidation is grow
ing This thing of having lot of
little schools taught by poorly paid
teachers, many Of whom are without
experience, is getting tireSome to the
people. They want the present dis
trict consolidated, the number of
teachers reduced, the salary Of teach
erS raised and then to have better
teachers and better schools. Every
where this system has been tried good
satisfaction is given. There is almost
unanimous approval of it where it has
been tried. This country is on the
eve of that reform in school work and
the movement is gaining strength
every day. Some communities are
not ready now but they will be before
long.-Smith County Journal.

Why Bryan Is popular.

The St. Louis Globe-Democri.t COM
ments on Mr.. Bryan's recent eastern
tour and remarks that he appears to
be as popular with eastern as with
western democrats. I'VE can't ex-
plain it," says the st. Louis organ,
"but it is fact.'' Why such men as
Olney, Hill and German fail to en-
thuse the rank and file of their party
as Mr.. Bryan does appears to the
GIobe-DemOcrat to be amystery. Mr..
Bryan is nearer to the masses than
the other men named, has always been
and always will be, whether he be a
candidate or not. The people recog-
nize this fact and trait and believe in
him. So they did in jefferson, in
Jackson, in Lincoln, in Tilden. These
men, like Mr.. Bryan, were popular
leaders because they represented hon
estly and sincerely the sentiments
and aspirations OF the masses.

A Lesson for the Prince,

Every paper is speculating upon the lessons that are being forced upon Prince Henry along with the rush of American hospitality. Perhaps the most striking object lesson to this member of the reigning house of Ger many is the contentment and pros perity of his fellow Germans now making their homes in America. In describing the parade reviewed by the Prince in New York, of the thousands of Germans who passed before him the New York Evening Journal says:
 Before the Prince under the flaming torches all kinds of German faces passed in the wet street. They were all good German faces. Faces of SUI perior men.
 Did the Emperor's brother ask himself:
 "'Why are these German faces, the finest that I have ever seen gathered together, parading in America, over four thousand miles from home? Why are they not passing before my brother, the Emperor, in Berlin?'
 "The Emperor's brother after see ing that procession might truthfully have written such letter as this to bie i,,,navial coveraion.
 "'I have seen the Germans of Amer ica and 1 have learned from a lesson of importance to the Hohenzollerns. 1 have seen a hundred thousand Ger mans and not one of an inferior type.
 ""Three or four great American cities contain more high-class Germans than you could possibly find in Berlin and Frankfort combined.
 "I have learned from the best Ger mans that the republic is great at- traction.
 "I have learned that our fellow countrymen of the best type prefer a land which is ruled by their vote and not by any mans divine right.
 CT have learned that the courage, the enterprise of Germany flock to a country where no man can be forcibly enrolled to fight another mans quar- rels.
 "I think it would be worth while for your imperial Majesty to visit this country and study one German pro- cession.'"

Political Parties.

"The Democratic party has plain sail ing in Alabama, but the outlook for the national Democracy is far from encour- aging" said a Democrat who has voted the straight ticket ever since 1868.
 'The Democratic party In this county and the Democratic party in England, under the name of Liberal, seem to be in the same fix right now. The British Liberals are hopelessly divided and Lord Rosebery will make a failure if he tries to lead them.
 "Our Democratic party is without a leader and without any one in sight to lead to victory in 1904. am not exactly cynical. I hope and pray that the right man will come to the front two years hence But not one of the men mem toned now could, in my opinion, be a winner.
 of it were not for the prejudice against third term man, Grover Cleveland would come nearer rallying the party than any one else. He might carry east ern states that no free silver man could think of carrying. But MT. Cleveland would hardly consent to run because of the third term clamor that would be raised"

No Appropriation for the Coosa.

By the refusal of the House com mittee on rivers and harbors to pro- vide an appropriation for improving the Coosa river, the future cheap sup ply of lumber for Birmingham and north Alabama is practically locked up in the Coosa valley. Congressmen Bowie, Wiley, Burnett and Thompson justly feel that they have not been treated fairly in the matter, and will attempt to secure some appropriation by a Senate amendment. About $15.- 000,000 has already been expended in improving this river, and to stop it now would be calamitous to the State; Unless some appropriation is secured in the Senate. the Congressmen who have the work in hand feel that it will be impossible to continue the work at any time in the future.
 It is true that cutting of timber along the Coosa has been in progress for forty years. but the large and ex- tra quality of Coosa river pine which can be reached by railroads is almost exhausted. For hundred miles along the banks of this river between Lock f. in St. Clair County, and Wetumpka, within sixty miles of Birmingham are large forest preserves which will re- main practically intact until the river is opened for navigation.
 Those who opposed the appropria- ton say that completion of the work will cost more than $12,000,000, and for that reason voted against it. Cost what it may, Birmingham and Ala bama should not be deprived of this opportunity to open new industries and provide the people with a fine grade of lumber at low prices.

then to see Republicans as well as Democrats, under the chairmanshlp of Grover Cleveland, contributing to the fund for the endowment of a school of economies at Washington and Lee as a memorial to the dead statesman and publicist.
 And another stimulating fact about this Wilson fund is that not only have Republicans joined with Democrats in making up the large amount of s10O,- 900, but the contributions have been largely from men of moderate means. MT. Cleveland, MT. Whitney, MT. Rockefeller and a few others have written their names each for $5000. The amount needed is now almost all in hand, and with the exception of about thirty thousand dollars the sub scriptions have come in sums of S25 or $50, and as men of nearly every State in the union are represented on the list of this hundred-thousand gift, it may well be called popular.
 Tokens of sentiment such as this certainly negative the cry of the cynic.

Better RuildinQ.

In Greater Birmingham not less thar S2000 houses were built last year, ant the indications are that double that number will be erected this year.
 The demand for houses is more pressing now than ever before and this applies to a good class of resi- dences and mercantile structures sss A noteworthy fact about Birmingham architecture is that it improves in character. The average cost of tene- ment houses formerly fell below $500. %This year the average will probably be -$7O0. Averaging all classes of resi- dence building, 5000 would not per haps be too high an estimate.
 Architects and contractors were never so busy as they have been with in the last few weeks. Scores of large and costly homes will be erected this l. summer and many large mercantile buildings in addition to those under way will be started, to say nothing of rhe larSs number of old buildings that Will be remodeled at great cost.
 The lesson has at last been i'm pressed upon Birmingham investors that shoddy building does not pay It is a useful lesson to one that will re- suit in better conditions both aestheti. cally and from the fire insurance point of view.

Rouss, Wealth.

"The value of the estate of the late Charles Broadway Rouss is estimated by Mir. Rooney, the attorney, at $S'oOo'ooo. said a Virginian who served with Houss in the Confederate Army
 "Three millions is a considerable falling off from $1o,0OOOOO, the newspaper esti- mates, but that man of middle life could 20 to New York penniless and accumu- late any millions at all in strictly legiti- mate business way is something remark able.
 "Nir. Rouss's benefactions within the last ten years amounted to at least Q half million dollars. He had the reputa- ton of being close in the store' but In all of his dealings he was severely honest, and no worthy Confederate ever appealed to him for help in vain. In religion MT. Rouss was a free thinker but was never offensive in discussing theological prob lems."

A Good Siun.

Tn this high pressure, money-getting age. principle and sentiment are in danger of being minimized, but munif- cent benefactions are still in evidence showing that the spirit of sordidness has not possessed the minds of the rich to the extent that cynics pre- dicted
 But one of the best signs of the times is not the tendency of multi millionaires to give millions to found universities and libraries, but the more modest benefactions helping in the aggregate to advance intellectual en- deavor and at the same time erect memorials to departed worth.
 's A notable case in point is the me- morial fund in honor of a noble edu- cator, who had also served his coun- try with conspicuous ability in the halls of Congress for twenty years William l.. Wilson--who died about q year ago, while he was filling the presidency of Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va. MT. Wilson was perhaps the foremost man of his day in the apprehension and discussion of American politico-eco- monies. He was a Democrat to the core. and his ideas of the tariff as a government or party policy were not approved by Republicans, but no man commanded more fully the respect and admiration of high-minded and thoughtful Republicans than Mir. Will son. It is gratifying and significant
