Street May Not BE Extended.

1t is not probable that Meridian street
will be extended through Meridian Heights.
The board Of reviewers appointed by the
County Commissioners to assess the dam
ages that will accrue to the property own
ers of the suburbs by reason of the exten-
sion reported that the total assessment
amounted to $3.50. The property owners
OF the suburb who petitioned the board for
the extension are ordered TO pay the SIS. 25l
to the board within sixty days. 1t is hardly
probable that they can raise this amount
within the required time, and I'm that event
the street will not be opened. Daniel Mon
ninger, John l.. Marsee and Charles M.
Cross constituted the board of reviewers.

CHILD's WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Herbert w. Chadwick Rolled Under
Street Car and Was Not Hurt.

Herbert w. Chadwick, a three-year-old
child, was struck by an Irvington car near
Pine street yesterday morning and rolled
beneath the body of the car, only to emerge
unhurt when the car was stopped. The
boy had been playing in the middle of the
car tracks and when the car approached
instead of stepping off the track, he ran
ahead of the car. The mo,orman made
frantic efforts to stop the car, but in spite
of his efforts, the child was struck. He
fell on the fender and then rolled direct
iy beneath the front wheels. When the car
had been brought to standstill, the mo-
torman and conductor fully expected to see
the body of the boy was crushed beneath
wheels, but he crawled out Of his own ac-
cord and seemed little the worse for his

MT. Dowdell Compnmenteo.
 MT. T. J. Dowdel, a young man of Montgomery, was signally honored re- gently by the Colonial Danes of Mobile, when his paper on Benjamin Franklin and the Hutchinson Letters was read and discussed at a meeting of the Danes.
 Of the meeting The Mobile Register said:
 "A very interesting meeting took place last night at the home of Mrs. Hortense Batre. President of the National Society of Colonial Danes in Alabama. The oc- casion was notable for the reading of the essay that won the prize offered by the Alabama Society to the student or alumnus of the Alabama Polytechnic In- treating of an American historical sub ject. The winner is MT. T. J. Dowdeli, a graduate of the institute and the award was made last June; the essay being read at the annual commencement of the in stitute. Last night 1t was read in excel lent style by Mrs. Greenwood Ligon, or this city. The. subject was Benjamin Franklin and the Hutchinson Letters and was the story in detail of the one matic career. The subject was well thought out and presented.
 'The reading of this essay was followed by the reading of collection of thoughts from Paul Leicester Fords' book, Frank lin. the Many-Sided Man. by Miss Batre. This proved to be most interesting. The title of the collection was Franklin and the Fair Sex "

MISSISSIPPI LEADER
Does What the Senate Leader Has
 Failed to Accomplish.

Washington Special to N. Y. Times.
 All summer MT. Germans coming lead ership has been heralded throughout the country as the means of reuniting and bringing sanity and organization to the Democratic Party. Nothing has been said about MT. Williams prospective leader ship at the other end of the Capitol.
 The Democratic politicians in both Houses are now realizing with surprise amounting to stupefaction that in the preliminary struggles of the session Mir. German has utterly failed to unite his party. and Mir. Williams has signally suc- ceeded.
 Williams had his opportunity first. He faced a party which was apparently hope lessly divided on the subject of Cuban reciprocity, and in which the majority was sand to be antagoniStic to the view which Williams took. Many of the most influential Democrats in the Senate look ed to have their hands upheld by large vote against reciprocity in the House.
 It only took Williams five days to unite his party for reciprocity. He conducted a still hunt, and did not openly declare his purpose. The whole work was done with a success which compares favorably with the way in which the Speaker and the House machine, backed by Federal patronage, and the power of the Commit tee on Rules, are wont to lick their ma tority into line for any favored bill.
 Then came Germans turn. He en- tered the Democratic Senatorial caucus to bring his followers into line on the Pan- anna question. The result was failure.

In these strenuous days we are often startled at the free and easy way our statesmen jaw each other, but it isn't altogether a new thing. Something like half century ago Henry Clay and Tom Benton, two of the really big men of their day, or of any day, for that matter, got into a wrangle over a certain letter. Benton tried to make Clay responsible for it. and among other things, said: Il brand it as mOsl infamous ca. umny. and with that brand upon it, it shall go upon the parliamentary history of the coun- try"
 Did that set Henry back? Not a bit of it, and he handed back this one: '1 hurl it back to him, that he may put 1t in his casket of calumnies, where he has many other things of the same sort. !" Thus did the statesmen in the good old days pass the compliments of the season and nobody hurt.

But Few Like Him.

Coosa Democrat
 There are hut few men who will take position for what they conceive to be right when they know it will lose to them friends and public favor. Only patriots and men who are willing to sacrifice ali for what they know Is best for their 1el- bowman. and for their country will do it. but in Cleveland We have such man. Al ter all. it works out for the better, even for the man who is willing to stand out in the storm and bear the burdens rather than to surrender honest convictions. So Cleveland stands, not only as the first American, but Is happy in the esteem of the people while he lives a private life in his home at Princeton, N. !.

prcurATrNe RAILROADS.

Mir. E. deV. Morrell is a Representative fin Congress trdRn the great State of Penn sylvaria. We should judge that MT. Morrell has much spare time on his hands for good old Isaac Watts assures Us that
 Satan finds some mischief still
 For idle hands to do,
 and we suspect that "Auld Clovtie" finds something for idle minds as well as for idle hands to do. Some men can't be quiet, and If they can do nothing good they are prone to get busy at some mis- chief. However that may be he has intro duced bill into the House, which pro vides that it shall be unlawful for any railroad company engaged as common car rier in transporting passengers from one State to another to make any discrimina- ton in the accommodation furnished to passengers from one State to another on account of race or color by the use of cars specially allotted to persons of cer- tain races or colors or otherwise"
 There are some other features of the bill. among them being a provision that ''officers and employees" of railroads WHICH VlO1dLC InlS law pay d VI slO,0OO or may be imprisoned two years If we might be permitted to coin a word Co exactly fit such legislation we should call it '5ackassy." but that might be a reflection on patient and long suffering animal. Perhaps fool legislation" would fit the occasion. Perhaps some will pre- fix an adjective, in order to express their Gsslings fully.
 We have not read MT. Morrelrs idiotic attempt to get Congress to do something that it cannot possibly do. but that makes no difference in our estimate of a man who would make such a move as this Just how he expects Congress to make rules and regulations to govern the management of railroads, and to dictate how passengers shall be seated is not ap- parent. The plea, of course, is that a certain element of the travelling public in the South is discrimlnated against on account of color. This is a great crime mites where a negro is not allowed to work for a living, and where they are hardly allowed to live at all. This ten derhearted philanthropist should have the sympathy and cooperation of the Dicks, Crumpackers and other Northern states men who represent districts in which a colored man is suffered to breathe only on sufferance. Indiana, Illinois, Kan- sas and even Massachusetts should sus- tain MorreI In all those States there are plenty of people who love the negro in the South and hate him at home.

 By his own unequivocal announcement, MT. Cleveland has killed the boom that was constantly bearing him toward the That he would have stood a better chance of being elected than any other living Democrat is undoubted, and after all the abuse and ridicule that was heaped upon him as the retiring President, it must be very gratifying to him to know that he could have had the nomination. It simp- iy shows him to be the strongest man in the party and one of the foremost states men in the country.

POLITICAL POINTS

It should be added that to Mir. Vii Hams Is generally attributed the creolt for the fact that the House Democrats have not taken any attitude as party on the Panama issue. Whatever may pc
 the rights of that question, It IS con
 ceded by impartial observers here that Democrats would be taking the unpopular side if they made any serious ngnt oii the administration in regard to IL, ana that they would lose votes by such course At the outset of the session there was every indication that the Democrats would plunge boldly in. as they did Tn the Philippine war, take the unpopuIai side and identify themselves with IL pe- yond recall. About half of them wei, loaded to the brim with speeches DeIofe Congress met. Something happened to them, and so far there has not been serious move from the House Democrats
 on the subject, This fact Is generaiiS
 believed to have its origin in the minor ity room of the House. where MT. Will
 Hams sits every day and extends counSeJ to his Democratic callers.
 There will be plenty of Democratic at tacks upon the administration for Its Iawless course in Panama, but as long as Williams holds the refns nothing more is expected. German, after his defeat IT. the Democratic Senatorial caucus. nas apparently no opposition to offer to the following of the same course in the Sen ate.
 The question of the revival of the Deni- ocratic Party under new leaders, tneIe- fore. has taken a sudden and surprising the party has failed in his first attempt, and the man who was not expected to be a Moses has succeeded in his effort. Of course. all this may be reversed later on: At present. however. the honors are al with Williams, and 1t is believed by Re publicans and Democrats alike that a very strong nan has taken the helm 'n the Democratic minority room.

 When the Chicago Committee comes here next week to invite the National Re publican Convention to Chicago, 1t will likely have only a perfunctory duty to perform.
