 JOURNED.


 When the Legislntars met last January it was gsusraaiy thousa1e that t would be impossible to do in the sixty days allowed what was necessafy to conform Alabama tc the new Constitution, The Governor gave very emphaxfc notice at the outset that he would not call an extra session
 Including the days in which the two houses met in January and February and those in September and one day in October. the sixty days expired last night and contrary to general belief nearly all of the important and needed laws passed betf, houses and reached the Governors hands. Most of them have been approved and others will be, as he has a few days after adjournment in which to approve or reject. .E,5ttB gf5l| to do has been amply shown by the full and elaborate reports of proceedings that have appeared in The Advertiser. The members of both houses have done we'll. and we believe they conscientiously sought to do their duty as they saw it.
 Among importaist measures enacted can De cited the general election law, the State primary election law. the uniform system of school text books. the authori- zation to sell the cotton factory and State farm at spiegners, tho vagrant law. aid to the Soldiers Home. provision for dormitory for the insd- ute for the deaf. appropriations for the Reform Institute for boys near East Lake, for additional buildings at Auburn for A. P. l.. for summer school at the University, the State Bank Examination Bill, the ana-boycott bill and great many other measures of general interest.
 Unless convened fin extra session by the Governor, there will be. no more legisla- ton until January 1897. after the election in 1sOs. That legislature in addition to other duties viii have to elect two United States Senators. The term of Senator Morgan will expire March 4, 1907. that of Senator Pettus March 1. 1909. As the term of the latter will expire before the election of a legislature in 1910. the duty of choosing his successor will devoive upon the legislature chosen in 1906

Woes of the Millionaires.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch. .i'
 A millionaire in New York and a mil- lionaire woman in San Francisco have committed suicide within a week. J. Pierpont Morgan is losing money and prestige every day; a bushel of diamonds belonging to John w. Gates have been stolen. Andrew Carnegie is suffering un- told agonies because of his disgraceful wealth; John D. Rockefeller Is still forced to live on crackers and milk, and it is rumored that "Baldy'' Ryan has been ruled off the turf at Gravesend. Pity the poor millionaire!

 We have worried along with the negroes in the South for some centuries, and will have to abide natural, rather than forced developments. What the destiny of the negro race is to be the future must de- eide, but for the present the best policy of the South is patently to discourage in every wal possible the rancorous agitation of race questions That agitation creates turmoil and perturbed conditions hurtful to the South and brings the problem no nearer to solution than it was in the hnEinning.

Grossly Misleading.

The Washington Post makes this blum. der: "A St. Louis paper declares that the citizens of that State are making wild stampede toward reform" Press reports had led us to believe that many of the citizens were making a wild stam- pede for the Canadian border" That is grossly misleading. It is the Mexican border. One New Yorker chose the Ca nadian border, but the Mexican border suits St. Louis citizens best. They cont even extradita horse thieves down there.

decadence of the Iowa idea" of tarif reduction, says:
 The Republican Party today is for pro. tection, reciprocity and the adjustment Of ss s ana ior aes of better issue, probably will be driven to readopt their old standby of free trade as a political slogan and declare for a tariff for revenue only.
 If readers of that paragraph should in- duIgs in an audible snicker. The Journal shouldn't blame them. '"rhe adjustment of tariff schedules as justice and expedi- ency demand" is downright amusing when we remember that the Republican Party is to decide when justice demands a reduction of existing tariff exactions. Of course the ruling majority will never be able to see the time when justice will make such a demand with sufficient vol ume and force to be heard and obeyed.
 And that word "expediency" works in mighty handy in this connection. It means that when it is politically expe- dient to reduce tariff duties the Republi- cans will do 1t. That is. if that party finds itself in danger of being defeated unless the tariff is reduced then Justice and expediency'' will get in their work and the Republican Party will make such concessions as will be necessary to en- able them to remain in power. They are good words for the occasion and for the party using them.
 But when The Journal speaks of the Democrats adopting "their old standby of free trade as a political slogan il probably fails to see how ridiculous the expression is. The fair definition of the term is trade or commerce between diff fe7ent countries free from restrictions ol customs duties." and The Journal knows that no Democrat of standing or infiu- ence stands for such an absurd and i'm possible condition in this day and time whatever may have been thought or ad- vocated in days long past. Indeed. The Journal contradicts itself most decidedly when 1t speaks of free trade and tarifi for revenue in the same sentence as Dem ocratic doctrine. As one pointedly con- tradicts the other the unfair charge that Democrats favor free trade Is answered by the other statement that they favor 6 revenue tariff, which is true, by the way And they are not going to hold back their advocacy of 1t to wait for expedi- ency to move them to action.
