TomIlnson Talks.

"The following appeared in the Cincin- natl Commercial-Tribu of last Satur- day." said lawyer yesterday:
 John W. Tomlinson of Birmingham. Ala, leading attorney of that region of the south, was a guest yesterday at the Grand hotel Birmingham has popuia- ton of over 100000 said he. but this is really considerably below her actual count of people. The limits of the city are so restricted that this formal state ment of population does not include all of the employees of the big plants which are located outside the city proper. There has been something of a boom on in Birmingham since 1897 and within the past four years this boom has been most marked and we have felt that our future as a great manufacturing city was assur- ed. With all her mineral, agricultural and other resources, the future of the whole south seems very fiattering. With cotton at 10 cents a pound. especially, as at present. the south fairly revels in pros- perity. I do not see how there can well be any let-up in the general prosperity or the country for another year or two at least "

Cincinnati and Birmingham.

Cincinnati is the true gateway of this district to all the northern country. It Is not it's gateway to the rest of the south or to the rest of the world, for we shall soon have an Open Warrior and our railway lines cover the cotton states. But to the great consuming north and particularly the central west Cincinnati is our gateway, and we should cultivate it as we cultivate no other northern city. The relations, trade and personal, between Cincin- natl and this district should be strengthened and extended in every possible manner.
 The Age-Herald is glad to see that the recent visit of Cincinnati manu- lecturers is to be returned in Septem- Der, and it hopes a representative dele gation 200 strong will be sent on this mission. If Cincinnati and Birming- ham can become mutually interested in each other, as they naturally and prop erly should, it will be a good days work for both. Cincinnati would thus gain a good share of our trade, and we would attract this way some of Cincin- natis abundant capital for the develop ment of our rich mineral resources.
 No moro promising field Is open to us, and Cincinnati seems to be as ready for 1t as Birmingham Is. Like all good trades the benefits are well-balanced and mutual, and 1t is difficult to say which @1l.he the greater winner in the long run.

Alabama,s Mary Resources

The official aud statistical Register prepared by Director Owen is an excel lent and valuable volume, but 1t does not cover the whole ground. It should pc Supplemented by an annual hand book, such as other states prepare and publish.
 As rule such handbooks come from the agricultural department of the state government, and they are largely devoted to state resources and state possibilities and state economic needs and ambitions. Immigrants are at tracted by facts and figures showing the low prices as well as fertility of the soil, and capital is invited by coal, iron, lumber and like statistics The immigrant and investor can find in it about all the information he is looking for, and 1t serves at the same time the wants of every student and public man. It fills in short public want.
 Alabama is full of mineral wealth as well as of fertile districts, and a hand book issued yearly, carefully com piled, would prove an excellent invest ment. Director Owens book does not deal largely with statistics relating to either agriculture or manufactures, and it was not planned for that purpose. A handbook from the office of the com missioner of agriculture is needed, and the legislature in September could pro- mote the prosperity of the state at small cost by ordering Commissioner Poole to prepare handbook not unlike the one recently issued by the state of Tennessee. The expense would be small, and the benefits might be very great.

 Julius Caesar.
Leaders of the Jopiin Mob.

The leaders of the outrageous mob that occurred in the western mining town of Joplin, Mo, near the Kansas border, are being hunted by the officers of the law as keenly as they themselves hunted down innocent negroes. The coroner's jury held three men for mur- der. Two of them have been lodged in jail. Eight other leaders of the mob have left Joplin for Joplins good, and more, says a recent dispatch, are go- ing.
 It is to the credit of Joplin and of all Missouri that the outrage is not to go uninvestigated and unpunished If there Is one public duty higher than another, it consists in seeing that the more helpless members of community are protected from injury and wrong. Not a single act of the Joplin mob was directed against wrong-doers. A negro was hanged against whom there was not particle of evidence, and the mob knew there was none. The subsequent acts of the rioters were a disgrace to civilization and humanity, and the nore the leaders of the mob are pun shed the higher will Missouri stand in the good opinion of all hcaest and intelligent people.

sToNEwALL JAcksoNs HOME
To Be Preserved as a Memorial of the
 Gallant Soldier.

 Lexington Wa) Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.
 Stonewall Jackson's old home Is to be turned Into a hospital for Confederate soldiers. The Mary Custis Lee chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy of this city has bought the property and will turn 1t into memorial of the general whom Archibald Forbes ranked with Grant as the greatest exponent of strat- egy of his day.
 The house Is on East Washington street and Is built of stone and brick. With the exception of the main entrance 1t main tains pretty much the same appearance as 1t did when the Confederate leader lived there. Owing to some Improvements which are being made In the street tho porch in front was dispensed with. and now goes straight Into the house proper. Mrs Jackson. the widow of General Jackson. was its sole owner. When first asked to sell the house she would not en- certain the Idea, but gradually the thought grew upon her that 1t was an expensive piece of property to keep.
 
 For several years the old house had been used as students boarding house. Finally 1t became too great a care for Mrs, Jackson to look after. Then she wrote to the Daughters of the Confed- eracy seeking their advice in the matter Sympathizlng with her fully. the mem bers of Mary Custis Lee chapter decided to buy the house and grounds and turn the place into a suitable memorial of her husband.
 T am so thankful that the Daughters of the Confectionery are going to convert my old house into hospital for the sick and suffering veterans" Mrs. Jackson said in speaking of the project. My only regret is that was not able to donate the property for so noble a purpose. but, un- fortunately, I was not
 Buying the property is not only n great credit to these noble ladies, but 1t will be Christian soldier whose home was once upon the sacred ground of their purchase. It is a source of great thankfulness and delight to me-"
 Mrs. Jackson refers in her history of her husband to their life in Lexington. The young husband and wife boarded for more than year after their marriage. Then Mir. Jackson succeeded In buying the only available house. Ills intention was to sell 1t and build one better suited to their needs The large, rambling old house was altogether too big for his small family But it was a genuine happiness for him to have home of his own. IL was the first home he had ever possessed, and 1t was truly his castle.
 It was in 1858. while he was professor in the Virginia Military institute that he bought his first and only home. He lived only few years to enjoy 1t.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE
 PRESIDENTIAL JUNKET

casionally on hunting and fishing trips to ths rivers and bays near the coast ana within easy reach of Washington. but on these occasions he was invisible to the public and away from the scrutinizlng gaze of the correspondents.
 President Harrison took up the Pres idential junket where 1t had been left off by Cleveland during the latter's first term, and added to 1t both in the num- Der of miles traveled and In the number and importance of speeches made The Harrison Junket-there was but one of them-was a memorable one in several ways. In the first place, 1t revealed the President to the country as one of the most eloquent, forceful and tactful short speech makers of its entire history. The speeches of the Harrison junlSet were models of style and their subject matter discloses much of the culture and polish of Harrisons splendid mind. In book form they constitute the most popular volume of his collected writings.
 In the second place this junket revealed to the country a new desire, namely, to see the President occasionally in person, and to hear from his own lips a non partisan discussion of the questions of the day A radical change in public sem timent as 1t had existed at the time of Johnson came about seemingly in a sin gle day. and the country accepted as a matter of course and as one of it's rights that which had been so severely criticised in the days just after the great civil war
 It is to President Mckinley. as already suggested, that credit is due for the full development of the Presidential tour Departing from Johnson's model, he planned 1t along non partisan lines, and in each of the long journeys which he made over the country he was simply the chief executive of great people, going from place to place, for the purpose of stimulating in the public loftier patriot ism and drawing useful lessons for the nations present and prospective great ness.
 Mckinley travelled on his tours more miles than all of his predecessors coms- bined, and was seen by more people No partisanship was displayed In any of these tours, and with that fine tact for which he was distinguished above all of his predecessors. he adapted his ad- dresses to the environment in which they were made. and. while not compromising with his conscience. said nothing that would give offense.
 Three long tours were made by Presi- dent Mckinley, In addition to scores of minor ones. The first of his long tours was from Washington to Chicago, thence to Minnesota and the Dakotas, and thence back to Washington by way of Kansas City and St. Louis. The second was that remarkable tour of the south, during which he said so many things which served to help men to forget the bitter ness growing out of the great civil strife. The third was only partially completed. It was to have included the entire Pacific coast the journey out by southerly and the journey back by a northerly route. This tour was abandoned at San Fran cisco owing to the sudden and serious ill- ness of Mrs Mckinley.

CLEARING COTTON MARGINS.
Another Effort Being Made to Secure
 a Better System.

Special to the New Orleans Tlmes-Dem-
 ocrat.
 New York, April 2o.-Another effort is being made to secure better system of clearing cotton margins. and the plan now proposed contemplates the appiica- ton of stock exchange methods to the cotton exchange.
 The plan contemplates clearing house. Each member thereof would send in a daily sheet, if but for a single purchase or saie. covering all purchases and sales made on day of sheet, resulting in an evening-up of trades, and exhibiting net difference of long or short contracts, to be accompanied by a check or draft, to the clearing house prices. The clearing house prices would be in mulhples or five, determined by the closing bid prices for cotton futures, appearing on the tape at the close of each days business and immediately following the high and low prices The clearing house prices are shown at the top of each sheet to facili- tate clerical work by the maker of the sheet, as well as in the clearing house.
 The comparison of trades would be made as at present that Is, parties to the contracts would sign up before leav- ing the cotton exchange floor in the aft ernoon. And this being done, no slips or tickets would accompany the clearing house sheet The signed contracts would remain in the possession of the parties to the respective sides of the trade, as at present, the clearing house sheet to be in by p. m.
 Each sheet would be accompanied by a receive" or deliver" ticket, or both, if necessary, for contract balances, names for which would be provided by the clearing house and deliverable at 9:3O a. m. the following day upon application to the clearing house. It would be under stood and mutually agreed among the parties clearing that they would accept from the clearing house the names for their respective balances for contem- plated delivery of future contracts" the same as If the trade was made at the New York cotton exchange and would be bound thereby as fully and unre- seryedly.
