MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOARD
 OF REVENUE.

The bill in reference to the Montgom- cry Board of Revenue which was agreed to by the conference committee of the two Houses is eminently satisfactory to the great bulk of the people of this coun- ty. Under Its provisions three of the five members are to be from the city and two from the county. The proportion of voting strength fully justihes that divislon--indeed on a strict voting basis the city would be entitled to a greater number. There is no division of senti- ment here on that part of the bill.
 Since 1875 the members of the Board of Revenue in this county have been ap- pointed and at least so per cent of those who vote would prefer for that rule to continue. Particularly would this be the case under the bill under consideration, which. requires every part of the county to be represented on the Board. It Is A perfectly fair and just bill and we cannot but believe that the members of the House who voted against concurrence fin the conference committee report did so under misapprehension. It will be in accord with the wishes of the people of this county for. the bill to become a law and we hope that the House will recon sider its adverse action and concur in the conference report.

The Minneapolis Journal, discussing the question of cutting down Southern repre- sentation on account of colored disfran- chisement, says:
 If he cannot vote, and is therefore not represented, his numbers ought not to count in swelling the Congressional dele gallons of States in which he is disfran- chised. This Is mere justice, not a means of punishing the South for exclud- ing the negro from the franchise; yet it even to propose a law carrying out the to insist on this point; We merely affirm its reasonableness. The effect of such a law would be to put premium on the admission to the suffrage of competent negroes, because in that way lost repre- sentation would be regained with the education and enlightenment of the negroes.
 And we can tell The Journal something else. Such law would put a premium on political rascality such as the South has heretofore had no conception of. There would be more negro votes count cd in some sections than ever before and the result would be the more intolerable aebauchery of our politics. Better let southern people settle these matters in their own way and the job will be much Better done than if outsiders interfere.

The Bench and the Presidency.

New York Evening Sun
 Justice Goodrich said in his speech to the Brooklyn Bar Association on Thurs day night that no judge had ever been nominated for President. Certainly no man with judicial experience has been elected President. We have had in that office, according to Townsend's ''U. s. |" eighteen lawyers. three soldiers, two pol iticians and one planter, not including MT. Roosevelt. Such were the professions or occupations of the candidates when elected to office. In early life thirteen of them were lawyers, four of them teachers, one a doctor, two tailors, one tanner, one farmer, one surveyor. and one soldier. MT. Townsend would probably identify Mir. Roosevelt's early vocation as that of literary man, but might well be in doubt as to whether he should be called politician or a literary man when he was elected Vice President. The politicians on the Townsend list were Monroe and Johnson.
 It Is certainly singular that of the eighteen lawyers who became President not one of them was taken from the bench. But all it proves is that judges have not been regarded by the contem- porary parties as the best vote-getters.

1s TIT AN UNUSUAL THINap

In quite a number of our exchanges we have seen the words, "A brave Chief Justice" applied to Judge Pope for his refusal to accept bail from Tillman. The New York World says, it was the act of a brave and upright judge" and other papers are commenting his course in the strongest terms.
 Is not all this praise really an indirect reflection on the judiciary7 In the article from which we have quoted the World declares that lon the affidavit sub mitted 1t was no more than his plain duty" and this seems to be the opinion of all unparalleled observers. Is it, then, complimentary to the judiciary of the country to extravagantly praise a judge for doing his duty?
 It is true that 1t required both moral and physical courage to oppose the de- mands of the Tillman family and infiu- ence, but we all know that murder of and yet The World reiterates that none the less admirable Is Chief Justice Pope s courage" Of course courage and honesty are both necessary in cases of this kind, but we do not admit that they are so rare among our judges that all the papers should shout the praises of one who does l his plain duty Under the circumstances as they admittedly exist if the judge had
 allowed bail the comments of the press would have been In order, but we fail tc see why the newspapers should gush be- cause an official did just what his duty required of him

NEW ENGLAND MORALS.

A somewhat queer bit of information comes to us from Connecticut through The New Haven Register. It is in the naent made by Dr. H. L. Hutchinson of the Congregational Church, on "degenera- cy in the country towns of Connecticut" l" Here is a specimen of The Registers editorial:
 His statements are based on a personal investigation of the conditions to which he refers, made incidental to his work as agent of the Connecticut Bible Society, and were made to the local federation of pastors at it's stated meeting. If what he eays is true he is justified in declaring that If he was limited in his choice to a home for his son in the country slums of this State or the city slums of New York, he would cheerfully select the lat ter. It is very grave indictment of our morals, as well as our political in- stitutions.
 The Register doesn't give the minister's s statements in full but from the above ex- tract, and from other comments made by that paper we are forced to the conclu- sion that conditions in the small Connec- ticut towns and villages are worse than they are in any of the large cities of the country. During the recent street car strike in Waterbury we had reason to change our opinion very much with re- gard to New England habits. especially in Connecticut. We found that the morals of those people were very far be- low the standard we had set for them, and have come to the conclusion that there is about as much wickedness and degeneracy there as can be found in any other portion of the Union. We have been taught to look on New England as the land of steady thabits. good morals, sobriety and the other Christian virtues but we have been deceived. The Yankees are as far from moral perfection as the rest of humanity.

Beaten Because He Looked for Work.

New York Evening Post Ind.
 That blacksmith looking for work who was beaten into insensibility last evening by strikers in West Thirty Street, richly deserved his fate, according to the modern doctrine of Lloyd, Darrow, ct al. He was disregarding his sacred duty to his class" His class was on strike, and the fact that his wife and children were crying for food had nothing to do with the case. He should have left them to starve, and gone into the labor meeting to revile the organization of society. But the ignorant man had foolish notions about providing for his own household, and, of course, there was nothing left for the strikers, in the discharge of their sacred duty to their class, but to knock him down and kick and beat him savare- ly. MT. Darrow, counsel for the coal miners, could tell him that he ought not to be surprised at such treatment, since his assailants were only acting out their nature and doing only what anybody in their environment would do.

SENSIBLE CONCLUSIONS.

The Indianapolis Sentinel is among the few of our Northern contemporaries to speak intelligently of matters relating to racial conditions in the South. Unlike so many others, 1t takes a common sense view of the question. as is shown in an editorial of which we give part. After quoting Lincoln's opinions on the rela- uons of the races The Sentinel says:
 This Is very exact statement of the most intelligent opinion of the country today: North and South. And that is why President Roosevelt's efforts to re- wye the race question as political issue have resulted in dismal failure. The simple truth is that the negro has both at the North and at the South his mat ural' rights of life, liberty and the pur- suit Of happiness, except when he has lost them by the commission of crime, and the only difference between the two races Is in political and social relations as to which MT. Lincoln said he had no purpose to introduce equality, because nature had set a barrier which could not be removed by man.
 Intelligent white men, without regard to party, recognize this fact, and also recognize the fact that negro suffrage has not been successful experiment. It may be paradoxical, but there is no stronger evidence of this than the recog- LlliOl anu encouragement gwen to BOOK CT T. Washington, which has come from all parts of the country and from men
 of all shades of political opinion. The reason Is that he is urging his race to the pursuit of happiness not through political or social preferment, but through industry, thrift, cleanliness, sani- tation, and other recognized features of civilization,
 It is becoming more and more appar- ent that the solution of the race problem in this country will not be through polit- ical channels. Politics may retard 1t somewhat, but never advance 1t. A mix ture of the races may come in -ime. as it has in other countries. but this is hardly probable, for that result has never oc- | cured except in tropical or semi-tropical countries. In this country the mixture is always at the bottom-never the top of the social fabric, and the progeny in | evitably takes rank with the colored race. | That Is the barrier mentioned by Lincoln | which is insuperable.

noUp1E GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under its notice. and one ot thess signs is the mystic symbol ] denoting .xeiden." which stands for high quality. and Is thus explained:
 "Advertisers value this psp~r more for tns siass and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed.'
 Such papers are credited with a single gym bol; but thsrs is a higher grade, according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL 0& to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol Io0I and is the only pepsr distinguished in this section of the South.

uNrxNAa1E REASONING.

The esteemed Chattanooga Times Is dis gruntled, not to say disguest, because certain citizens of its town have enjoined the City Council from appropriatins sum of money to send a delegation to at- tend the launching of the cruiser Chat tanooga. The amount proposed was q. 500 we believe. and some of the citizens sued out a writ of injunction on the ground that the city officials had no right to make such an appropriation out of the public funds. Thereupon says The Times:
 The United States Government has done a great deal for Chattanooga and mel dentally for the gentlemen who have signed this injunction Dill, ana IL vas about as little as we could do to send a delegation to the launching of the ship named for the city by way of showing our appreciation for favors past, present and to come. The amount appropriated by the city council Is a mere bagatelle compared with the vast benefits we have derived and will hereafter derive from government favor. and a failure 10 recog- nize this latest remembrance would be little short of pusillanimous meanness. appropriate funds for this purpose, ought never to be raised: the councils have an undoubted right under the charter to set aside reasonable sums of money Tor the public good and we believe the courts will hold this matter to be of that class.
 There Is a good deal more of the same sort and we must confess that we are not able to agre with our contemporaFy's line of reasoning. And, in the first place. does The Times really believe that a delegation could honestly require s'5oo for such a purpose! Would not such an expenditure be more in the nature of a junketing ftolic than otherwise7
 But letting thas pass and admitting that the delegation could legitimately blow in the amount specified, Is not the theory of The Times that "the question of the city's authority to appropriate funds for this purpose ought never to be raised"- is not that a very dangerous doctrine for a prominent newspaper to preach? We be raised under such circumstances. If a citizen and tax payer really believes that the funds of the city are to be used with out authority of law it is not only his right, but hia duty to raise the question and to insist that the officials show both a moral and legal right to use the public money. Any other doctrine is a dangerous one. The Times cannot be ignorant of the fact that some of the greatest financial scandals recorded in the history of large cities have been caused by the authorities using the public revenues illegally. If city council can appropriate money for any cause 1t sees fit, however worthy the cause may be. where Is the power or authority to pre- vent its use in any way a majority of the council may see proper or desirable And so. while we think 1t would be proper for Chattanooga to be creditably
 represented at the launching of the ves-
 sel named for the city we hold that to | virtually argue that the Council should
 inappropriate the public funds in order
 to pIacate the United States Government is dangerous and untenable doctrine. N
