faraway expression in his face that in
striving to persuade him n feels
earthly and even fiendish. AT least
this was my experience with Craig.

he sailed for the old land for the pur-
pose, as he said, of getting some of the

He made me angry the last night OF

was a strategic mistake OF mine to tell
him how Nelson came home to us and
how Graeme stood up before the var
sity chaps at my supper and made his
confession and confused Rattray's easy
stepping profanity and started his own
five year league, for all this stirred in
Craig the hero, and he was ready for
all sorts of heroic nonsense, as / called
1T. We talked of everything but the
n thing, and about That we said not

fire and to hide my face, 1 plunged:

He made no pretense of not under
standing, but answered.:
"Of course"
"Thcre's really no sense in her stay

And yet she is a wise woman" he
said, as IL carefully considering the
question.
"Heaps Of landlords never see their
tenants, and they are none the worse"
"The landlords?"
"No, the tenants"
~"Probably, having such landlords"
"And, as for the old lady, there must
be some n in the connection to whom
1t would be q godsend to care for her."
"Now, Connor," he said quietly,
"don't. We have gone over all there
Is TO be said. Nothing new has come.
Don't turn it all up again."
Then I played the heather and ragged,
as Graeme would have said, till Craig
smiled a little YEARLY and said:
"You exhaust yourself, old chap.
Have a pipe-do." And after q pause
he added in his own way: "what
would you have? The path lies straight
from my feet. Should 1 quit it2 I
could not so disappoint you-and all

And 1 knew he was thinking Of

was moved to say:

there are great compensations for all

science toward God what can make

But, all the same, I hoped for some
better result from his visit to Britain.
1t seemed to me that something muut

The Presidential Term.

Congressman Gaines of Tennessee has introduced a resolution in the house proposing an amendment to the constitution by which the term of the President shall be fixed at six years and the chief magistrate shall be in eligible for reelection. No action will be taken on this resolution, any more than action is taken on measures in troduced in congress from time to time providing that Inauguration Day shall be changed from the 4th of March to the last of April, so as to escape the cold weather which usually prevails early in the first month of spring. But it will serve to revive the arguments against the four-year term, and the candidacy of the President for a second term
 The people would undoubtedly ac cept the political acts of the President with greater faith if he were limited to one term. The executive would be unhampered by politicians and office seekers and his policies would then be absolutely above the suspicion of self ish motives and wire pulling No mat ter how strongly candidate may talk in favor of one term only, he changes his mind after he is elected. Only 8 constitutional clause against a second term will prevent the bee from bug zing in the Presidents ear.
 Limited to one term the President should be allowed six years in office. The framers of the Confederate con- stitution took that view of the matter and elected MT. Davis for six years. Presidential campaigns invariably dis turb the general business of the coun- try and therefore the commercial and financial interests would heartily favor any amendment that would extend the intervals between elections.
 Public sentiment may erystalize some day that will demand change in the constitution relating to the Presidential term, but that day is per haps far distant

Will Re Published Here.

Prof Joel c. DuBose, the author and scholar has returned to Birmingham af- ter brief sojourn in Montgomery. Here after his Gulf States Historical Maga- zine will be published in Birmingham and the first number issued from this city will be out in few days. The magazine was founded by Prof. DuBose in con- junction with MT. owen of the State His tory Department and was conducted through several issues as a joint enter prise. Some months ago MT. Owen re- tired, leaving Prof. DuBose as sole edi- tor and proprietor.
 Thinking Montgomery the better place for publication devoted to historical matters, Prof. DuBose remained there until within the last few days. The in evitable has come to pass, however, in his return to Birmingham.
 Speaking of the publication yesterday a professional man said: "Of course the enterprise was an adventerous on9 and nine newspaper men out of ten were doubtful of its financial success. Inter- est in the study and preservation of hls- tory has made wonderful advance in the last few years, and it Is exceedingly pleasing to learn from Prof. DuBose that this ambitious and comprehensive design has more than paid expenses from the start and has now reached the point where there is profit to the man who took the chances and does the work.
 "The prevailing sentiment connected with the name of Birmingham has rather to do with the present and future than the past. but the local intelligence and culture is quite broad enough to embody an appreciation of historical literature Birmingham is glad to be the seat Of such a publication as the Gulf States His torieal Magazine.

THE OalY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAM
The Consular Service.

An old agitation in government cir cles is that in favor of abolishing the fee system in the consular service, and the movement for such abolishment will probably be quickened by the re- port of Third Assistant Secretary of State Pierce, as result of his recent inspection of our consulates in Europe. He finds the fee system fruitful or scandal and demoralization. He says it causes strife among consuls and commercial agents and has destroyed the old time efficiency of the service. In the settlement of estates and other legal business the temptation exists for the consul to appoint or recon mend legal counsel receiving divi- sion of the fees, thus imposing an ad- ditional tax on the client
 Every consul should receive suffi. cient salary to command first-class service and no fee of any sort should be allowed. In some cases the old time fees have been curtailed. Twenty years ago the consuls-general held the most lucrative positions under the state department The consul-general to England made from $35,000 to $40, 900 a year. and it was very poor con sul-generalship that did not pay $25, 900 a year Today these consular ap pointments pay considerably less, but the whole service should be thorough ly reformed and placed on salary basis.
 Ambassadors and ministers cannot maintain the dignity of their offices without spending money and very few of them can live in good style on the salaries they receive. They are usu- ally men of independent means, and after serving the United States abroad for four years find their bank accounts much diminished.
 The consuls, on the other hand are not called upon to entertain officially and they could live well and save money out of salaries much smaller than those paid to the diplomatic rep resentatiyes of the government.

EXPERIMENTS IN FREE COAL.
Results Have Shown That Miners Have Nothing to Fear From Competition.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 All duties collected on all grades of coal have been rebated since January l of the present year. In other words, coal has been on the free list since that day. and under the provisions of the present law will continue there until January 1, 1904, when the duty of 67 cents per ton on bi- luminous coal will be restored.
 The effect of the removal of the duty has been only to encourage coal importa- tions in times of scarcity in this country as, for instance during the coal famine following upon the anthracite strike. When production is normal in this coun- try the amount of importations Is about the same, whether the 67 cents tariff be levied against foreign coal or not In other words, free coal has not flooded the American market with the products of the pauper labor of Europe-when the American mines are working But when the American mines are not working, or when they are behindhand on their deliv-
 
 inc gives an excellent opportunity for high prices, then coal flows in from abroad, and it flows in more readily if there be no duty to bar its way
 If it were a question between foreign coal and native coal a little higher in price, then the tariff might be well inn posed to keep out the foreign coal, to the on of hnO1a ip6nctrNr when the question is between foreign coal and no coal at all or home coal at a George F. Baer price, then the people will be for foreign coal In times of normal production American coal can take care of itself in this country and needs no tar if protection In times of decimated home production foreign coal should be duty free, in order to keep the price of that necessity at as nearly a reasonable marks as possible.
 In the first nine months of 1901, l. 456,674 tons entered the United States, paying a duty of 67 cents a ton; in the correspond ing months of 1902 there were imported 1,5S2,0i2 tons, paying the same duty; in the first nine months of 19O3 with all du- ties rebated. 2,6S7, 06l tons were imported. The reason for the great increase was not so much the remission of the duty as the fact that in the early months of this year there was a coal scarcity in the country, as the result of the anthracite strike. For in September 1902, with the duty, 1S2, $40 tons were imported, while in September, 1903, without the duty and with the coal famine over, but 192,5S2 tons were im- ported.
 The small import in September. 1908, when there was no duty, informs the miner and operator that so long as they care to dig up and sell coal they have nothing to fear from the free foreign arti- cle, while the large import in the early months of the year shows clearly that the people have much to gain from free coal during a home famine. Coal should be on the free list.
