THEY WONT WASH

"A million children out of
school," remarks the Saturday
Evening Post, "does not seem to
indicate that there is prosperity
enough to go round" In another
place in the same periodical the
argument is put up that in the
Middle We't domestic servants can
not be had for love or money, and
that this is an evidence of broad
and. lasting prosperity. The Post
is wrong in both instances. A
great many of the children who are
outside the schools are the ones who
could we'll afford to be in the
schools, but who are too busy hav-
ing a good time. And there are a
great many people who would GO
half-starved rather than do any
kind of work. The Aphorisms o.
the Post sound well but many Of
them will not wash.

of corn; it is a fat producing feed. but corn fed heavily to hogs In a pen is often the cause of the death of the hogs so fed. The man with only the corn idea puts his hogs In close pen and pours the corn to them. they soon become 50 fat that they cannot get up to eat, and often 1t is the case that hogs 50 fed are found dead in the pen and the all corn idea man does not know what is the matter The corn has simply burned up the stomach of the hog and he dies. We have experimented With hogs on our own account ana We have grown pigs to welgn 1GO pounds in four months without feeding any corn April Qigs fed slop mixed with buttefmllk and allowed to run in the pasture and as soon as sorghum Is ripe enough to be sweet, cut and ted to hogs Is excellent. Spanish peanuts are the finest kind of hog feed Whippoorwill peas, a little range in the pasture, variety of diet, clean quarters and pure water and the hog is the healthest animal on the farm. Don't feed hogs rotten corn; rotten corn Is not fit to feed any thing. The pigs that come in March or April can by proper rotation of slops, odds and ends of fruit. potatoes, etc, from the kitchen, supplemented with small patch of sor- ghum. and in the fall a peanut patch and pasture can be finished up into first-class pork with just a little corn, and Mir. Hog from the peanut will add gloss to his hair that no kind of stock food will do. We may add that the soil of Alabama, especially on the high hills will grow peanuts to perfection and rye, turf oats and vetch will make fine winter pasture. We wish to add this to The Montgomery Advertisers side of the hog question.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
Christians Are Failing to Do Thir
 Duty.

Editor The Advertiser:
 You have been calling our attention for some time to the conditions. social, politi- cal and moral that prevail in our city.
 heartily endorse your strong and timely editorials on municipal reforms It seems to me that We will lose a valua- ble opportunity If We do not at this time direct our thoughts to some of the great underlying moral principles that should guide every Christian citizen in the exercise of his political rights and privileges. For our citizenship is indeed a sacred trust and involves a tremendous responsibility. Social and political evils have rooted themselves in our city largely because those who profess the name of Christ have failed to do their duty.
 It has been said that a people always have just as good or just as bad govern- ment as they deserve. This statement may need to be qualified somewhat, but on the whole 1t is true. And it is pre- eminently true in this country. where the people themselves are the rulers. Give community of one hundred, or five hun dred, or five millions of inhabitants, and If the government of that community is corrupt and dishonest 1t is a fair infer ence that the people are willing to have it so, or, at least, that they are not willing to take the trouble 10 have it otherwise There will be no permanent improvement until the great majority of the people not only desire to have good government but work f1r 1t in season and out Of season.

THE WHOLE PUSH.

Just see the great advantage of a news paper man being a woman, as shown in this paragraph from The Hanceville Hust- Ter:
 Last week we were without cook Not only the labor of editing a paper, doing notary work, entertaining our guest and Keeping up our correspondence, we had, to the kitchen and cook breakfast wash dishes, get dinner-ditto. ditto-all the week. Then our cook came back.
 Now, think what would have been the result. if this accomplished editress had been a mere man. Would there have been any breakfast cooked? Well hardly. If he could have gotten out of bed in time, he would have hiked off to a neighbor for his breakfast, and repeated the op- eration for dinner and supper. If he did anything in the way of cooking, it would have been to roast a few potatoes. As for washing dishes-well, we think we see him. He would have deposited them in the sink. bath-tub or wash-pot till he ran out of dishes and then emigrated. Cooking is bad enough for the ordinary man, but when it comes to washing dishes he isn't in 1t, not by a large majority. The Hustler is to be congratulated on having at its head a genius who can fill all the requirements.

ANOTHER ONE GONE.

The good State of North Carolina is to be congratulated on the selection and election of MT. Overman as United States Senator in place of Jeter c. Pritchard. The latter was one of the results of such coalitions and conditions as existed in all Southern States after the Civil War. Whether his election was exactly due to "a coalition between Blyfil and Black George" it was at least the direct result of a combination between all elements of opposition to the old-time white De- mocracy of the South. Alabama went through 1t, as did most of the other States of the late Confectionery, but Alabama ton ago and has been represented by her own true sons in the Senate ever since. When Pritchard goes out, he will be one more of the anti-Democrats out of that body.
 The new Senator, Lee S. Overman, is comparatively young man, but he Is really one of the old regime and will ftly represent State which formerly sent to the National Senate some of the best of the old-time Southerners. We have It. tie doubt that he will represent his State creditably, and that he will be an im- provement on his predecessor. "One by one the roses fade" or something of the kind. and one by one the statesmen, who came to the surface as a result of the chance combination of discordant ele- ments. are relegated to private life and the places that once knew them shall know them no more forever.

SUNDAY LIQUOR VIOLATIONS.

There has been introduced into the House by Representative Rushton of Crenshaw a bill to make the violation of the Sunday laws by saloons a more seri- ous matter than it is at present
 This bill Is printed in full elsewhere on this page in a communication from Rev. J. B. Cumming, a well known Methodist minister, formerly of this place but now of Mobile. He has seen a great deal of the evil his bill seeks to remedy, and knows that 1t is not 2. local matter It exists in all the larger towns and cities of the State. Therefore, the bill is not at all local in conception or applications: 1t is a general law in terms and purpose. It cannot De disputed that this viola ton of the Sunday liquor laws is a grow ing evil. and that something ought to be done to curb it. This bill of MT. Rush. tons is a firm, effective measure In its various provisions. but it is severe only upon those who are convicted second time of the offense. Then the license to sell liquor is revoked.
 
 Our information is that similar provi- sion exists in Atlanta. applying there not merely to Sunday violations, but also to violations of the law for closing every night in the week at 10 o'clock This pro- vision is reported to be very effective restraint there upon interruptions deal- CTS They dare not run the risk of vio- lating the law, for fear they will be for ever shut of from making money out of the liquor business within the limits of the law.
 We see no reason why such a law should not be made in Alabama. Liquor dealers who want to abide by the law can't ob- ject to a more severe penalty, and those who don't want to abide by it should not be considered If the liquor dealers are wise. they will accept such measure, for if they do not. the rising tide of pub lie opinion in favor of dispensaries will soon take the business with all its profits out of their hands everywhere.

AN ACCRUED OBLIGATIONS.

There seems to be a general disposition in the Legislature to make an appropria- ton for the improvement of the Capitol Its cramped condition, its shabby state. its bad effect as an advertisement of the States progress and prosperity, are gen. orally admitted
 However. there Is in some quarters 6 sort of uncertainty of conviction that a quarter of a million dollars should be ap- propriated for the purpose at this time. Various objections along that line are suggested: it is not necessary to detail thsm-
 It seems to The Advertiser that there are two fundamental reasons why that ! liberal a sum should be set aside for the purpose.
 The first is that If the work be under taken at all. it ought to be done right. There would be no wisdom or economy in skimpdns the job. Nothing would be done properly. permanently. If there was not money enough to plan the work on broad 1 lines. Alabama needs a flrst-class build ] ing for the transaction of great State s ( growing DuSlHtSs, anu HeF W-IndherS should decide to have that sort of a change. or else none at all. In the second place. there is an ac- 1 crued obligation of fifty years in this matter. During all this period the State has spent a mere bagatelle on it's business office. Hard times and more urgent un- ] dertakings have pressed aside this impor- i tant matter. If there had been ten, and twenty, and fifty thousand dollars spent on the plant from time to time in all these years, it would not be necessary to spend a quarter of a million now But that has not been done. Hence the results oi neglect have accumulated, until there is a heavy obligation accrued. It is a duty to discharge this obligation, and to dis charge it in full. The Legislature should not try to compromise its obligation ol to postpone full recognition.
 It is matter of duty. as well as ol responsibility and expediency.
 The Advertiser has stood back on thi. matter for ten years waiting for an op perfume time to urge it, and this year il is profoundly convinced that now is the time. The State can afford it. Governor / Jelks, very prudent. conservative bust
 ness man, advises it. The Legislature should determine it.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- ain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom ,hich comes under its notice. and one of these signs IS the mystic symbol [ Sl denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and s thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the :lass and quality of its circulation than for the n,ere number of copies printed.'
 Such papers are credited with a single sym boI: but there is higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL 60 to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol [@0l and is the only paper so distinguished in this section of the South.

HE REDEFINED TT

The Washington Times truthfully de- clares:
 The Monroe dogma grew more In def initeness and in force in the third year of Mir. Cleveland's second term than it did in the other seventy-two years of its history. Mir. Cleveland will go down to fame as the American President who redetned and reinVigorated vital Ameri- can doctrine.
 That Is putting 1t strongly. but who will doubt its accuracy? The Monroe Doc urine had been firmly engrafted on the foreign policy of our Government for a period of about seventy years prior to the eVnezuela incident of Mir. Cleveland's s second term. During that time 1t had been practically dormant-although Tyler. Polk and Buchanan had proclaimed it. because no great ocasion had arisen for its enforcement. When Mir. Cleveland was called on in 1893 to show that 1t was not dead letter and that the United States had never abandoned it or thought of doing so, he took the responsibility, as he was in the habit of doing on all occa- sions, and the nations of the earth heard and understood.
 In truth, MT Cleveland is entitled to as much credit for revivifying the doctrine as James Monroe and John Quincy Ad- ams were for originating 1t. It Is the custom now in certain quarters to rail at Mir. Cleveland because of his stern Americanism, his unhinching honesty and his devotion to true Democracy; but his fame is secure. and there Is no sounder stone in the foundations of that fame than Is afforded by his prompt and de- cided enforcement of the Monroe Doc | Urine.

That colored orator, Hayes, who recent ly made such an outrageous speech in Washington, has had an offer of 5000 by the Coliseum Club of New Orleans to make the same speech in that city. Of course the offer will not be accepted. Three thousand dollars would pay for a nice funeral. but he wouldn't enjoy it.. And yet as The Charleston Post perti- nently remarks, this is just what the Presidents ill-advised course is leading to. If Hayes should go to New Orleans and be killed, the North would ring with denunciation, but the primary blame would rest on the shoulders of Roosevelt

The idea of the inventor is to utilize all waste paper. and to that extent the plan is commendable. if the manufac- tured product proves to be of value. fer there is an immense quantity of paper wasted, both after it has been used and in the trimming and other processes to which it is subjected before using.

NO SEA OF TEARS.

Thus our Southerners are not likely to shed sea of tears over MT. Grosvenor' s present unenviable attitude in his capac- ity as an author.
 It is made to appear that this Con- gressman has done what Job prayed that his enemies might do-'write book'- and the newspapers are after him with a sharp stick.
 The thing is called "The Book of the Presidents" and its dimensions are graphically described as ''one foot wide, two feet long and three inches thick'- after the manner of the latterday higher eriticism-and it contains biogra phies of ''all the Presidents. from Washington to Roosevelt" together with their portraits and pictures of their homes," meaning their residences. The price of the volume ranges from $25 to $5C0. according to the ability of subscribers to pay. An ordi- nary citizen would take the lowest priced binding, a Pierpont Morgan the highest.
