The Slave Pension schsme.

From the Charleston (S. co Post.
 The satisfaction with which Senator Hannas slave pension bill has been re- ceived in some quarters of the south, and particularly the reason for this satis- faction, that the pension scheme would put millions of dollars in circulation in the south which eventually would find it's way into the pockets of the white people, must rather jar the author of the great grab measure and fanatics of the north generally who have dreamed all sorts of fantastic schemes to heap the negro with gifts.
 The slave pension scheme today differs very materially from the old forty acres and a mule" proposition. Tn that it would draw upon the national treasury while the other would have merely robbed the people of the south by confscation of their property and disuriDution of it to the negroes. This distribution does not seem to have struck the. northern mind at first but it is dawning, and if noth- ing else intervened this consideration alone would prevent the passage of the Hanna bill.
 The emancipation of the slaves cost nothing to the natlon but was borne as a burden by the south only: the propo- sition of giving each freedman forty acres and a mule was based on a charge against the south only. but the Hanna bill contemplates draught on the na- tional treasury which would affect the whole country, and particularly the north since the wealth of the land is now chiefly in that section. And the south alone would profit from it and the white people and former shareholders chiefly there. No wonder the Hanna bill has no chance to pass congress. The worst ne- grophiles doubtless are opposed to it.

 In the opinion of the drill instructors the present crisis is not very desperate although they admitted the sultan had had a near shave" They believe his majesty will have no difficulty in crushing the revolt if he waits till he gets all his forces together and leads them personally 1T the rebels should see an overwhelming force coming against them they would probably not even attempt resistance, but abandon the pretender and renew their allegiance to the sultan. On the other hand, if the pretender should make more advantageous offers, few of the sultan's present adherents would have any com junction in deserting his standard. There ! is neither loyalty nor sincerity which can De relied upon among any of the tribes. Obedience is a question of interest or might All the men had very pronounced views regarding the origin of the present crisis and the success of the pretender. but their views are somewhat eolored by national prejudice. They seemed convinc- ed. however that Bou llamara has either had training in q European army or has some European renegade with him as mill it9ry adviser. Certainly his style of fight ing is entirely new for Morocco. His men are divided into three Ines of equal strength, who relieve each other every eight hours. The first keeps up a con stant shipping or worrying fire during eight hours, when they are relieved by the second line, who have been eating and re- posing in the meantime while the third line, who have been sleeping, replace the second, bringing supplies along with them. The first, after a snatch of food retire to the sleeping line. Such system is quite unparalleled in the Moroccan war fare, nor was there any precedent for the nocturnal attack during Ramadan, which brought about the rout of Deeem- Der g

telegraph and the newspaper. the life of the million population community pull sates through the tiniest one of all. every hour in the twenty-four and stamps thereon it's impress.
 These are the conditions that confront the young business man and compel him to put away all thoughts of marriage until he has come close to the decade of the thirties; in other words until he has arrived at the period of life when the fire of his enthusiasm is pretty well burned out, and he usually looks upon everyone and everything with coldness and distrust In the case or poor young men going into the professions the situa- ton is still more unIavorable from matrimonial point of view. As rule they do not enter college until they arc D. Before graduation they are %, and then comes four years in the technical school. Not, therefore, until they are 26 years old do they enter upon the hard duties of life and begin the struggle for existence Their ambition, of course, is to have their own home and some one to share 1t with them. These two are the stars that glitter in the Armament of their future. But unless they arc moro than usually fortunate the way is long and dark until their dreams become realities. This is everyday experience, ana IL accounts for the great array of bachelors in all professions. the law, medicine, the church and many others. It was only the other day that one of the highest officers in the army declared second lieutenants should not, be allowed to marry because of their inadequate means, and these, be it remembered, are men nearing the thrtieth year, graduates of West Point who have devoted years to their profession. In a financial point of view they are far better off than civilians Of the same age ..mong the professional classes, but still a generous government gives them little more than is sufficient for their own support.
 The question is one of the great prob lems of our complex civilization And It Is vain to theorize in regard to it. To borrow ex-President Cleveland's phrase, We are face to face not with a theory, but a condition, which the economic and social standards that have been ss up are transforming into an imniutable law. The old order cannot be restored without uprooting the very foundation of the social system. But how long will the system itself last, permeated as it is. with the innate poison of self-destruc- ton?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-03-08

Progress has it's penalties. l mean. or
 course, material progress, the advance of what rightly, or wrongly we call CIV
 ilization. Chief, perhaps, of these penal
 ties Is the decline of matrimony among young men. that is the indisposition CT young men to enter into the married state
 until they are well advanced in years.
 statisticians tell us that, in the period
 immediately preceding the civil War the average age at which young men ana
 women set up in life for themselves was respectively % and IS years, while now It is 27 and 2I years. This is the ratio in the older states of the Union like New York, where large masses of the popula- tion are crowded into big cities towns and villages. In purely agricultural com monwealths the ratio is lower than this, but during the last forty years 1t has increased all over the nation. From many points of view these conditions arc to be regretted, they may be deplored; bur what is of still graver economic and moral concern is that the evil is more likely to increase than to din-rish, and that no remedy is anywhere in sight.
 It is idle to blame the young men, that is the honest, hardworlking. ambitious young fellows, and they are in the great ma- ty-notwithstanding all that may said to the contrary. If they were not, the country would. indeed. be in a perilous state, and it's future full of gloom. So far as marriage is concerned. vast per centage of them would like to be in the position their fathers were in, that is to be able to marry within a few years after they had attained their majority. But they are ruthlessly debarred from that old-time status by the economic and social order which we have established, or which, perforce. has established itself. Because of the enormous increase in the expense of living they cannot afford to make the venture; and even if they were willing to do so. they could not find the suitable party on the other side rsaGy to embark in the enterprise. This is the situation in the great cities at least, and it is more or less true of the whole coun- try from ocean to ocean, for the smallest village in this twentieth century stage of the worlds existence Is the great city in miniature.

DEATH ROLL OF 1909.

Like as the generation of leaves, so also that
Of men;
For the wind strews the leaves on the grouhu'
but the forest,
Putting forth fresh buds, grows on; and
spring will presently return.
Thus with the generation of men; the one
blooms, the other fades away.
The following list comprises the names
of Alexaudrians who were alive and
moving among us when the midnight
strokes of the City Hall bell announced
the death kuell of 1902. They are now
sleeping in the city of the dead. The
law of mortality is as perfect as that OF
all others in nature-one generation IS
always pushing another from the theatre
of life. It's grim contingency before
all and one which cannot be evaded.
But little can be said to guild such facts,
although much can be done in the world
10 make conditions more pleasant to
those with whom we mingle, that there
NAV be no regrets when the hour Of
parting comes. This hour is inevitable,
imminent, and the following from one
of Dickeus's books is opportune;
ave need be careful how we deal
with those about us, when every death
carries to some small circle of survivors
thoughts of so much omitted and so
little done-of so many things forgotten
and so many more which might have
been repaired. There is no remorse so
deep as that which is unavailing; if we
would be spared its tortures, let us re-
member this in time"
