A MoNsTER SPRUCE TREE.

From the Portland Oregonian.
 The felling of an enormous spruce tree, which will be used in William Hspfrger's exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, was made an event of great importance at Aberdeen. Twenty-Five persons went from the town to a point several miles down the bay and cut a tr9e which Is one of the largest ever felled in the state. It is 40 years old and l1la feet across the stump at the point where it was cut off. It was 27O feet high and 11s feet to the first limb. Photographs of the tree were taken before 1t fell, while fall ing and when on the ground. Then a group of twenty-five men were photo graphed while standing on the stump.
 Ex-Adjutant General Fox delivered an apostrophe to the tree after 1t fell. Nine feet of the trunk will be cut off, sent to St. Louis and made into an office.
 Out of part of the remainder a house and office will be constructed for one of the two cars to be taken through the country before the St. Louis exposition.

District court in Missouri orders the officers of the Trainmen's union to desist from "in any way or manner ordering, coercing, persuading, induc- ing or otherwise causing, directly or indirectly, the employees of the Wabash Railway company to strike or quit the service of the company This is the language of the injunction granted last week by Judge Adams. He pro ceeds on the basis that labor unions are unlawful and malicious conspira- cies, and if he be right labor unions are abolished.
 The labor unions are taking legal steps to have the injunction dissolved, and out of the case will perhaps arise clearer definitions of the rights of labor. If the Adams view be correct labor is helpless, and capital is free to work it's will The employees of the Wabash railroad are respecting the order, and they propose to meet it in the courts and have it set aside. Their action is beyond criticism, and the legal procedure growing out of this case will be watched with interest.

Race Problem Convention.

Senator Hatten of the Wisconsin leg tion asking the governor of each state to name ten men to attend an inter- state negro conference, to be held in Atlanta, July 4 next. The resolution had not been adopted by the Wisconsin legislature at the latest accounts, and rerhaps- w5Il not be, but whether it be adopted or rejected, no conference of any value whatever will be held. Gov ernor Jelks of Alabama, and Governor Heyward of South Carolina, and Gov ernor Montague of Virginia, have all ready refused to entertain it, and 1t will undoubtedly die a-bornin'.
 The race problem is a problem that conferences of the Wisconsin sort would simply aggrayate. It is prob lem that must be left to centuries of tlme-that cannot be discussed to a finish or even to any material modi- fication. The whites and blacks living side by side are to work out year in and year out their destinies, and the hatten movement is a waste of en- ergy Mere talk at conference would be either idle or harmful.
 Governor Jelks expressed the entire situation when he said in reference to the Wisconsin raid: T don't think we have any negro question down here that we cannot settle if we are let alone" This is the case in a nutshell. A century from now such conference may be held, but at present it would simply lead to irritation on the part of the whites and discontent on the part of the blacks. The two races living side by side is 8 conference that is held daily, and it is the only conference the case admits of at pres ent. The Wisconsin movement should be postponed century in order to give their own destinies as other people do in this world even in Wisconsin. "tThe south" says Governor Chamber lane of Oregon, republican, can and will settle the race question if polit.- clans will give her chance"

HILL AND PARKER.

From the Boston Herald.
 David B. Hill Is peculiar for tricks
 This has been known long. He thinks himself as cunning as a heather Chinee, but, like the smiling An Sin, he is some
 times discovered and proclaimed. This is
 what has happened in the matter of the
 assertion of David and his tooters that
 the reason Judge Parker of the Court of Appeals was not made the democratic candidate for governor last year was that
 he would not run. Now comes St. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, who says that this representation is not according to the fact: that, while the judge declined to be brought forward as a candidate entering a contest for a
 nomination, he did consent to run if the
 nomination should come to him as the spontaneous action of the convention. In view of the representation of friends tha. this would surely happen, the telegraph dispatch of acceptance to be sent to the assembled convention was actually pre-
 pared and signed. The nomination was to
 be sprung by the delegation from Rens- seaer county IIili, hearing of this, trumped up a contest and unseated the delegation. He forced the nomination of Coler and lost the election. MT. Me- Kelway declines to discourse of MT. IIin's motives. It is not necessary. They are plain enough.

Mananer stsrn,s Discovery.

Manager Ben Stern, who is conducting the tour of Foxy Cutler" says he has discovered a new germ, which no atmos- phere can weaken or destroy.
 Just what gives it life, I have not been able to determine said MT. Stern at the Hillman last night. but it Is matched somewhere between the calcium and the footlights. The thespian inhales the microbe and Is doomed forever after wards to live on the stage Any player who makes any sort of a hit Is never able to give up the stage and settle down to a quiet life of domesticity. Hundreds have tried it, and all have failed.
 "The most recent case under my notice is my new prima donna. Rosemary Glosz, Several months ago, in the face of a most brilliant future, she left the stage for a quiet home life vowIng nothing would ever induce her to return to the footlights. But she had inhaled the germ l speak of, and there was no peace or quiet for her. Try as she would, she could not forget the side and border lights nor the drops and sets ana costumes. Then I came along. I needed her badly, and at the first temptation the fever broke out again. and she is back in hat ness,
 'I have observed that, in mercantile pursuits when a person becomes old or makes a fortune, he is willing to retire from active business life and take things easy. Not so with your inoculated actor or actress. Look at such old people as Joe Jefferson. Sarah Bernhardt, Stuart Robson, Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. Bowers. Sarah Stevens, Louis Irving, all GO years old or over. but they keep on acting. They couldn't exist away from the stage.
 Now, think of the thespians who have made fortunes, but who refuse to retire and quietly enjoy the fruits of their la bors There is Joe Murphy, probably the richest of all American actors, worth at least million, but he sticks right to the business Then comes Richard Mans field, worth not less than s75O0OO; Nat Adams, with a fortune even greater; Julia Arthur, whose husband is three or four times a milionaire; E. II. Soth- ern, with nearly s400,0O0 to his credit; Lew Dockstader, who could write checks for s250,000 His partner. George Primrose, I notice has retired Joe Jefferson is millionaire. Joseph Haworth Is rated at s20o,OO0. and Billy West, leaving an es- tate of $300,000, acted in minstrelsy up to the very week of his death.
 You can't get away from my germ theory. Besides George Primrose, Mary Anderson Is, the exception to prove the rule. And the newspapers in St. Louis helped to kill the disease in her. They gave her the first and only real hard criticism she ever got and the shock drove out the 'stagivitls cooei' Her subsequent marriage was only tonic, which pre- vented a relapse"

The Alabama Press Association.

"The members of the Alabama Press association" said Secretary J. A Roun- tree. have commenced to discuss in earnest their annual meeting and sum mer outing. The meeting this year will be held in Anniston on May A and Z2' this being the time that the Annlston people desire it, President Yerby will call the executive committee to meet soon to ratl- fy the date and make the programme' also to decide upon the date and place for the summer trip. The committee last year inaugurated the system for the members to make suggestions where they desired to go and let the majority rule. This same plan will be adopted this year. in other words, vote will be taken, and whatever the majority of the members want will be carried out
 Last year the regular business meet ing was held in May and the annual out ing took place in July. This plan worked well and was satisfactory to the mem- bers I have no idea where the members win decide to go, or whether they will decide to go anywhere. A letter has been sent out asking the opinions of the mem bers, and no one will know the vote on the question until the executive commit tee meets.
 Several of the members have sug- gested that as we have been all over the United States. we take trip to Canada, starting from Chicago, then to Toronto by rail- thence up Thousand Islands to Montreal, thence by rail to Quebec, pro- vided that the trip can be planned on an inexpensive and satisfactory basis. An other trip is suggested that we go to Cleveland, O., there take a boat and spend a week or ten days on the great lakes. The executive committee Is anx- ious to have a free and full discussion of the coming meeting and outing, so that the wishes of the majority can be carried

savanL ah to San Eranclsco.

No matter what form the Frisco sale may take, it is asserted in special dis patches that a new transcontinental line is to be opened between Savan- nah and San Francisco. The new line will consist, it is said, of the Central of Georgia from Savannah to Birming- ham; the Frisco from Birmingham to Memphis; the Choctaw from Memphis to Tucumcari; the Rock Island from Tucumcari to Fl Paso, and the South ern Pacific from Fl Paso to the Pacific coast
 This route will have low grades, and it will be but 3169 miles long from sea to sea, as against the 3506 miles of the shortest New York route. 1t is in operation except link from Amarillo, the terminus of the Choctaw road, to Tucumcari, point on the Fl Paso line of the Rock Island This gap can be speedily filed The Choctaw belongs to the Rock Island system, and the proposed transcontinental line is of course an outgrowth of that great sys- tenn.
 This plan is generally credited, and it is but another illustration of the fact that all roads lead to Birmingham.

Judge Adams Injunction.

Government by injunction is march ing on, and it has reached a point in St. Louis that aims to prevent en- ployes from using the machinery they have adopted in order to carry out their own will and to secure their own rights. In other words, If ten em ployes agree to act together in all enterprise they are to be estopped by the law at the instance of the em ployer. This, if 1t were practicable would abolish free will and free thought, and all labor unions.
 Judge Adams practically decides for the time being that while capital may combine without limit, labor shall not If labor has any rights it must procure them by strictly individual action Each unit or laborer must fight the Gould system--for the Wabash is a part of that system-alone unaided by his companions. To this complexion has government by injunction come at last.

THE SCHOOL BOOKS.

From the Montevallo Sentinel
 The Sentinel believes that the remarks of Representative DuBose of Jefferson county reheeting upon Governor Jelks and ex-State Superintendent Abercrombie because they favored state uniformity in text books were unwarranted and who'll ly uncalled for. The governor is sincere in wanting to reduce the cost to parents, of school books in Alabama, while the efforts of Mr Abercrombie to build up the commgn schools of the state have given him warm place in the hearts of Alabama people. Mir. DuBose's remarks fare not only a reflection upon himself, but throw a little light upon the position of the present state superintendent in rela- ton to text books The inference to be drawn from these remarks Is that Mir. Hill Is opposed to state uniformity If we remember correctly the Age-Herald has repeatedly asked for MT Hills position, but no reply came. The Age-Herald, with other state papers has made good fight for state uniformity and the battle Is won and the parents of Alabama are saved $200,0 ,0OO each year in the cost of school books. Good!

THE LEGISLATURE.

From the Taladega News Reporter.
 The legislature has done good work, and adjourned and gone home, Under the conditions of the new constitution it could not complete It's work at this sitting, and will meet again for twen- ty-day session to finish up it's work In September. Nearly every legislature is called the "fool session" by some one. This is the exception. There may have been fools and cat paws in 1t, but they were in the decided minority. AS rule it was an honest, able and fearless body the real representatives of the people, and there for the best interests of the state. It has been, perhaps the best and most representative body in an Alabama legislature for years. It knew the wishes of the people of the state and in spite of few. who might have been advan- tageously left at home, 1t has executed them faithfully and fearlessly. It should have, and doubtless has, the thanks of the people of the state, Well done. gen. tlemen; get your unfinished work up and ready by September. and return and fin- ish the job as you have begun, and Ala bama will be still better and more pros nerOuS state.

A@ AsHINGToN, March 7.--Arthur
 NV Pue German has come back to
 W the senate again. lie has come back with the old captivating and inscrut- able smile, with the same capacity for getting democrats together. and wearing his sixty-four years with the jaunty air of man of forty. He has come back af- ter having been submerged by republican votes in his own state for four years and by Bryanism in the nation for nearly eight.
 He took the leadership of his party in congress yesterday, and no event in the democratic party has attracted so much attention since Hill, Bryan and Tom John son all lost their states on the same day. at the last election. The senator from Maryland is naturally considered in con- nection with the next presidential nomin- ation to be made by the democratic party. The other men who are discussed with more or less regularity are-always cleye- land-and usually Hiil and Parker of New York. Olney of Massachusetts,, Tom Johnson of Ohio and the ever present Bryan.
 It Is related that when the last demo- cratic state convention was held in Sara toga, German called on Hill and left his card, for the leader of the New York democracy was out. In a short time TIin
 returned the call and the leader of the
 Maryland democracy was in. How about the Presidency?' asked Hill, after the usual greetings were over. Know nothing about the Presidency" 1 replied German, do you?'
 Hill shook his head and said something about being worried about the country. Never mind about the country" said German, laughing, you go ahead and carry your state; I have carried mine" Senator German declares that he has not thought of the Presidency. He will
 not permit his friends to talk about him as a candidate.
 T am too old" he says, q have reach ed my ambition. I like the senate. and
 there I will stay if my wishes are con suited"
 But the democratic party has given to German without the asking the highest | post of honor 1t has at it's command. His election as chairman of the caucus, I am told, came entirely unsought This posi-
 ton means much. It makes the Mary
 land senator the leader of his party in
 the senate. It makes him chairman of
 the democratic steering committee and
 in all probability it will make him the
 political leader of the party in the house as well.
 The position has its advantages as well as its dangers. While the other can didates for the Presidency are in the
 background German will be in the full limelight of publicity. He will get the full benefit of all the good points made
 by his party in congress. At the same time he will have to take the full re- sponsibility for all its mistakes.
 Senator German brings to his task of reuniting the democratic party in con-
 gress an intimate knowledge of public
 men and public affairs. He has great

 L. s. Fealey. president of the eul'nlah Fruit and Produce association was III Birmingham yesterday and took oeeasioi' to deny the report that the entire crop of culiman strawberries had seen soia to Chicago firm for S1 per crate.
 Tt is true" explained MT Fealey' that we have sold out the prospective crop but we did not sell it at N per crate nor did we sell it to a Chicago firm. We nave contracted for the sale of all the berries we can raise in Cullman county to nm lmum price of S2 per crate If the market price is above that figure at the time or the sale we will be paid the advanced price.
 Prom present indications" continued Mr Feaiey," 'the Cullman strawberry crop this year will amount to between 75,O GOO and 1oOO0 crates, considerably more than has ever been raised in that section before"
 Mir Fealey talks very interestingly or the progress made by truckers in cullman county and says the organization or the fruit and produce association has done much to aid the farmers in marketing their product.
 For several years" said MT. Fealey' "the farmers at Culman were in open competition against each other and this naturally forced the price of strawberries down. We finally evolved the idea of forming a cooperation association to ham, dle the entire crop. Every farmer in the county Is a stockholder in the assoeia- ton and we started out with 5000 capital By united action we sold the crop last year at H.50 per crate, much better price than was received the year pefore And as we have oontractd for the sale of the entire crop this year at minimum price of $2, you can readily see the ad- vantage of organization among the farmers"
