An October Session,

It Is said now that congress will be convened in extra session as early as October 19. Heretofore November has been named as the probable day of assembling congress, but the later re- ports from Oyster Bay indicate that the earlier date will be chosen by the President
 The commercial treaty with Cuba will be acted on first, and then cur rency reform will be taken up, or per haps will be considered in the two houses concurrently-in the one house while the chamber in which debate is unlimited discusses 1t. The Cuban bill involves both the Dingley tariff and its creatures, the trusts, and the dis cussion of 1t in the senate may be prolonged.
 Nor will the currency bill which Senator Aldrich has been cooking and coddling fare much better. It is bill intended to promote promotion in Wall street and to give the country a.. artificial prosperity that will bridge over 1904. Prospective Speaker Can non is unreservedly opposed to both MT. Aldrich's rubber currency plan, and to MT. Fowler's assets currency plan.
 No doubt there are defects In the currency, but there are no defects that have not existed forty years, and the new haste in relation to curren- cy bill relates wholly to the on-com- ing presidential campaign. It is an at tempt, in other words, to help Wall street out of hole, and to give the country easy money when it really needs something else in the form of tariff revision. The exigencles of the campaign fund do not admit of the latter, and so an effort will be made to try a quick-acting currency bill.
 It will undoubtedly be well sifted before taking, especially in the sen- ate, and all its meaning and philoso- phy will be bought out MT. Cannon is himself a banker, and he says the granary of the country does not need any such measure. After thorough examination of the subject it may be

THE MAN WITH THE HOSE.

From the New York World.
 Superintendent Harrison of the La fayette Qnd) county jail, is not ex- has made two ears of corn grow where only one grew before. Nevertheless he is the parent of an idea that, if it works out as well as it promises, should give him a place among those who de serve well of mankind"
 In furtherance of this idea the Lafay- cite countq jail is now being equipped with a new and formidable standpipe of copious er-throwing capacity. It Is being so erected as to command both the front and rear entrances. It will throw a stream with such force as to easily knock down whomsoever is within range. If played upon an advancing mob 1t is Su- perintendent Harrisons firm belief that it will dlssipate it as quickly as a shower of bullets-and without killing anybody
 The inability of a rotous mob to main- tain itself in the face of a powerful stream of water steadily and consistently poured upon it has been frequently proved. And there would be a fitness of things in up- holding the reign of law by a rain of water from jail standpipe. If by a prac- tical test 1t is proved that mobs can be quelled without being killed, the riot standpipe will soon become a feature of every jail and prison yard in the coun- try. Its moral effect would manfestly be increased by two considerations; no keeper of jail or prison could excuse him self for not playing the riot hose on a lynching party on the ground that he shrank from slaughter, and no member of a mob would have the excuse of self defense for using firearms against the man with the hose.

But 1t is no matter:
Triumph of the Primary.

No matter how the Mississippi run off is decided next Thursday, it is well established that the first state primary u,er held in that state for the nomination of candidates from an United States senator down to a con stable, was eminently successful and acceptable-so successful and accepta- ble that no one in that state will hereafter mention the word "conven- tion." The convention system has been abolished all the way from Vir- ginia to Texas, except in Louisiana, and that state Is about to fall in line. In Mississippi the vote, confessedly honest, ran up to 98,270, and only registered voters could participate in the primary. All subject to poll tax were compelled to show receipts is- sued before February 1 by a tax col lector. Every voter" says one writer" went to the polls, and hun dreds of Mississippians temporarily in Memphis, New Orleans or Alabama rushed home at expense of time and money to cast their ballots"
 The full, honest, tax-paid vote of the state was brought out, after at tending a course of lectures on the stump that amounted to public edu cation. It was a splendid vindication of state primaries-of all primaries for that matter County and distric. primaries were held in all parts of the state on the day of the state primary Two United States senators were nominated, because the next legisla. ture must select two, meetings being four years apart All nominations were made from the highest to the lowest, and the swapping and trading of the convention system became at once impossible. The Mississippi pri mary was not expensive. It left nc bitterness behind. It was as satis factory as it was conclusive. A few run-offs remain, but these will be readily and satisfactorily accom- plished, and then all will admit that
 
 in the hands of the people where il belongs, taking 1t out of the hands o bosses and cliques, is democratic, safe and highly satisfactory.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.
Question of Courts.

"The suggestions made by member of the bar yesterday through the columns of an afternoon paper as to a plan of re- lief for the crowded condition of the com mon law docket of the City and Circuit courts impressed me forcibly as an easy and natural solution of the trouble" said a lawyer.
 with one thousand common law cases undisposed of on the City court docket and five hundred in the Circuit court, and the number increasing at the rate of 20 to 25 per cent per annum, it is very evident that something should be done for the or derly and expeditions administration of the law in those courts and to prevent miscarriage, if not a practical denial, of justice to litigants; and as relief is needed 1t seems that the first step to secure it would be to make Jefferson county sep arate chancery division and give the Chancery court exclusive jurisdiction of all chancery business in the county as was suggested.
 Tt is true, I understand, that there Is no congestion of the chancery docket-that the business of that court is not behind nulWltnSldndlnB the 1dct Indl the Dulh Ol chancery business in this county is done in that court and that five other counties constitute the chancery division With these five counties eliminated from the Northwestern Chancery division l think there is no doubt that the chancellor could dispose of all the chancery business in this county. This would give the circuit and city court pudges that much more time to attend to the common law cases and would necessarily relieve the dockets of those courts to a considerable extent with out any additional cost to the county. Indeed, it occurs to me that there would be considerable saving to the county in expenses of jurors, etc.
 It seems out of proportion to have four chancery jurisdictions, as there are in Jef- ferson county, where there is need for only one. If further relief of the City court docket is needed 1t could be easily had by providing an additional judge for that court.
 T have talked with quite a number of the practicing attorneys of the Jefferson bar and find that the plan suggested Is very favorably considered by them."

Bulls and Bears.

"I had long talk in New York with Mr. Brown, the great bull on the cotton market" said a man who recently re- turned from the east, land I found him very hopeful of the future of the staple. He called my attention to what I believe Is a fact, namely, that much more money is made on the bull side of the market than on the bear side. He said he would always be a bull.
 Here Is MT. Browns philosophy, which is the philosophy of the majority of sensi- ble speculators: A commodity selling at, say 20 cents would only give a profit on the short side even if it went down to nothing whereas it has a chance, when it does go up, of going higher than 100 per cent.
 For every bear success there are ten bull successes"

THE ZEBRULA.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Consul Guenther of Frankfort calls at- tention to cross between horse and zebra, called zebrula, which Professor Ewart has produced by careful breeding, and which is considered much superior to the mule. It is even affirmed that the mule will be replaced during this century and will be unknown in the twenty-first. The Indian government has employed the zebrula in Western India, the animal be- ing specially adapted for transport work by reason of the hardness of the hoofs. It is liveier than the mule and as in- tellgent but nothing is said of it's use of its heels. One strong point in the zebrua's favor is it's being proof against the "tsetse" fly, which destroys stock in Central Africa.

CHICAGO VIEWS ON THE
 HENPECKING OF SOUTH
Tor, the Chicago Daily Tribune.

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
 N CONSIDERABLE II I'm Der of PV northern newspapers. especially among those published in New York and New England, seem determined that the old time hatred between the northern and southern states of this country shall never die out. To this end they let no chance pass to taunt, insult. and patronizingly reprove the south. The southern papers, irritated by the fight of poisoned words Garted at their people, reply angrily and defiantly. In this un- happy way the gradually dying passions of the civil war are being converted into a smoldering fire of dislike which, if kept alive much longer, will be inextinguish- able.
 Why the desire to sever this country into two parts, hating each other, is entertain ed by an American passes comprehen- sion. Perhaps those who are engaged in pinpricking the south do not see the logi- cal and inevitable outcome of that policy, but are actuated merely by a certain quer- ulousness of disposition which impels its unhappy possessor continually to find
  ttude, the effect of it upon the vigor unity, and strength of the nation cannot but be deplorable
 This Is what we wish to say to the south: The i'll will displayed toward that section of the country by these northern newspapers cannot be found in the slight est degree in the breast of the average northern citizen. The northern news papers which are intent on keeping the na- tion disunited do not, in that particular. reflect the sentiment even of their own constituencies. Far from harboring malice against the south, residents of the north regard it with a positive liking-with a feeling which may be regarded as sen- timental Nothing, we believe. demon strates the truth of this observation bet ter than the reception always accorded by audiences in northern music halls con- ventions. theatres, and parks to the tune of Dixie" The vociferous applause which never fails to greet this old anthem of the confederacy indicates not only delight in It's stirring strains but joy that the south has become again a prosperous. pro- gressive, loyal part of the country The l galiantry of the southern volunteers in | the Spanish war evoked as much pride in l northern cities and on northern farms as | did the courage and heroism of the sons ! of federal soldiers. The use of words
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-22

northern and southern which the purpose of this article has made necessary does not find reflection in the ordinary con- versation and ordinary thought of the people who live north of Mason and Dixons lne-a line which should no longer divide sections
 Lest the south should overestimate the attempts made by some misguided papers to prolong the old feud, we would state that the great be ly of people living in this part of the country are Americans first. They are proud of the whole country and are loyal to the whole country. They do not sympathize with the attempts to | encourage dissension anG distrust between different regions of the United States They know that if Abraham Lincoln were alive today no man would view with moro profound sadness than he the effort to foster hatred between the north and south

this will prove no light task This will give the energies and resources of the country all the work they can cope with. If this can be done with out undue friction the country will at last have found out how it can get over a debaueh without a panic or even without anything more severe than slump and some individual headaches.
