oitiSen-eyery person, even every ohild-ls deeply interested in.
 If the five hundred bills are to be given the right of way-lf they are to be wrangled over, then there is no hope for the passage of needful gen eral laws, and the constitution will not be put In full operation. Unless some way can be devised to hold back the flood of local legislation, general bills cannot be duly considered and passed.
 The situation calls for the utmos. patriotism and devotion of the best legislature Alabama has had since the war. It Is difficult and distressing, How to switch the attention of our legislature from their local bills to general bills Is by no means easy Some plan should be formed by the leaders in each house to meet the situation. The brief-recess plan would answer if the flood of local bills eau be pressed back. There Is big "if," and no member seems to be willing to face It.
 If the legislature proposes to extend it's service indefinitely, drawing pay Pr,,. e.. 1t should not waste the time gained in local legislation. The people win not object to a violation of the spirit of the constitution, If the legislature will devote itself to measures of gen. eral public interest but they will ob- ject to an extension devoted to lesser measures.

THE NEWLY RISEN GALVESTON.

From the New York World.
 The American city which believes in it. self and it's purpose can be depended upon to rise every time superior to passing visitation of destructive elements. Usually, indeed, 1t draws eventual profit from disaster Boston and Chicago became better-built cities after fire had burned wide pathways through their very cen tres. Paterson, celebrating it's rehabilita- ton in this week of carnival, is a much more satisfactory city than before 1t was swept by flames and flood last year. Gal weston, almost wiped out by the dread hurricane of 1900, is inviting attention today not only for it's substantial rebuild ing but for its forward strides in commer- cial importance.
 A special trade edition of the News, dated the first of the current month. an- .nounces that Galveston has moved from fourth into third place among the export ing cities of the country. It has advanced five places among ports of entry and is now eighteenth on the list Its custom house receipts increased 116 per cent this fiscal year over that ending in 1902. Its increase in export values Is $5,0O0000 over two years ago. Galveston has fifty-three lines of steamships to foreign ports. It coastwise trade more than doubled during the past year. Its elevator capacity has been increased to more than four million bushels.
 These facts and many more which the News gives in detail tell a large story of pluck and enterprise in resurrected city whose population barely approaches the 10000 mark

Size of GrowInq Crop.

The cotton crop of last year in Texas and Indian Territory was 2,S31,0 bales, and the size of the crop of 1s0S-04 will largely depend upon an increase or decrease in Texas. The reports from Texas are as various as the localities, and it Is impossible to say how much damage has been wrought by the boil weevil and boil worms. The Galveston News last week reviewed the Texas crop, it's conclu- sions being that the yield this year will exceed three million bales, but the ex- cess above three million bales will not be large. If the boil weevil had not entered the fields this year record crop would have been made-possibly four million bales. But the boil weeyil has rendered the making of bumper crop in Texas impossible.
 Let us assume that the Texas crop will be kept down by pests to three million bales. The other states made last year, in round numbers, 7,S00,00O bales, and it is not probable they can increase the product this year more than 500,000 bales This would make the crop 11,200,0 900 bales, and this is about as good an estimate as can be made at present.
 Expert Theodore H. Price says, how ever, that the crop will be 12,703,O0o bales. The high average condition of the crop, as shown by the latest gov ernment reports, is the basis of MT. Prices tall figures. No one, however, believes that high condition will be maintained, and more expect crop in the neighborhood of eleven million bales than one larger or smaller.

A FEDERAL LAW NEEDED.

From the Washington Star.
 The affair at sagamore Hill the other night emphasizes the negligence of con- gross in the matter of enacting a suffi- cient law defining and punishing the crime of attempting the life of the Pres- ident and other high government officials. Such a law. suggested by the Buffalo tragedy of two years ago, was passed by the senate last year. but the house failed to concur, and the enactment failed. Had this man Weilbrenner actually fired at the President he could have been tried only under the New York state statute, which prescribes a maximum penalty of twenty-five years Imprisonment in case of an attempt to commit crime the punishment for which is death It is al- together anomalous that the United States government affords no greater degree of protection to it's officials, and that when ever instances of this kind arise recourse must be had to the varying laws of the states.

Convictinq Lynchers In Illinois.

Wilmington and Belleville have not tried to punish their lynchers, but Danville, H., is a horse of another color. It is arresting and convicting the men who attacked it's jail, and al ready fourteen have been convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. Bes- sic Armstrong, that Amazonian leader of anarchy, is one of the fourteen. The two who were not convicted turned states evidence. About ten more cases remain to be tried, but all of the other cases will go over to the October term of the court.
 It will be remembered that the mob in Danville lynched the negro Wilson, and then assaulted the jail for the purpose of securing another negro. they desired to lynch. The jail was, however, defended by Sheriff Whit lock, and the mob was held at bay It was during the jail storming that Bessie Armstrong harangued the mob, declaring among other things, "The sheriff is no better than the niggers, and he ought to be lynched, too" This wild crusader of revolution and ruin will have several years in the peniten- tiary to contemplate her action on the stormy night in Danville, when all the ghosts of evil seemed to have returned to earth to wreak destruction and desolation.
 The Chicago-Record Herald com mends the good work at Danville, in these words: '1f the United States had more Danvilles and fewer Wilmingtons and Bellevilles it is safe to say that our national disgrace, the lynching Of negroes, would soon be thing of the past. As 1t Is, the example set by Danville bids fair to counteract in good measure the harm done by the license
 
 and disregard ol law in the other two cities. Inspired by Sheriff Whitlock's sturdy 6eyotionNto his duty, the Dan- vile courts have treated the members of the mob who attacked the jail ex- actly as they ought to be treated, and have not needed the extenuating pleas that have availed to elsewhere ward off punishment It would have been still better, of course, if evidence could have been secured for the conviction of the members of the mob who com mitted murder before the jail was at tackled; but even without that a needed lesson to rioters has been given"

BAD FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

From the London Chronicle.
 The vogue of picture postcards has largely interfered with the sale of photo graphs One photograph Is not being sold now. unless in very exceptional cases, where half dozen were sold before.
 Another thing which has, perhaps, in- terfered with the sale of photographs is the scarcity of real celebrities-so the photographers say anyhow. Once we had a Gladstone a Tennyson, a Browning and, most popular by far in photo- graphers sense, Queen Victoria. Her place has here been taken by Queen Alex andar whose photographs divides popu- larity with that of the king.
 Our statesmen and other celebrities come a long way after; few of them have the satisfaction of being dotted on by the picture postcard buyer.

Leo's Work We'll Described.
From the UniversalIst.

From the UniverSalist
 When history is written in the years that put Leo XIII in right perspective 1t will show that the adjustment of the great Romish church to living and progressive civilization began with him. While as loy- al a churchman as ever sat on the papal throne. he recognized In the growing spirit of democracy a larger life for the people of the world, which life the church was to influence from within rather than from without. He won large victories, but through conciliation instead of con- quest. He was a great man in a place of great influence; great In the purity and high office a prisoner" as had been Lis predecessor, but instead of entering hopeless struggle against the bars of his prison, he began the creation of a new and more fitting kingdom for his church; the spiritual life. through which he saw the material world could be better shaped. Perhaps he saw in the sacri- flee of local temporal power the possi- bilty of worldwide sovereignty,-per-
 not. He was pope of Rome but he was a man interested in things human, studying the problems that try the souls of everyday men. Sensitive to the com- mon and uncommon needs of the world, he wrote the philosophy of religion and the poetry of hygiene. Tn fullness of years his life commanded the respect of the world; in death, the worlds sorrow.

WITH TIME COMES CHANGES.
An Order From the Pacific Coast For
 Nickels and Cent Pieces.

From the Washington Star.
 The treesu-y department has received an order for 5000 nickels and 2oo0 one cent pieces from the Pacific coast. The order is from the subtreasury at San Francisco. Five years ago such an order from he suhtreasury would have been regarded in the nature of a mistake somewhere, and the chances are that an inquiry would have been put on foot to ascertain If these coins were really want ed.
 Just what started the use of niclxels and pennies on the coast is not definitely known, but treasury officials say that it's beginning was during the Spanish Amer fcan war, or rather during the existence of the war taxes imposed at the time. These war taxes called for stamps on diff ferent articles. and officials of the gov ernment, in selling the stamps, gave t1e proper change Tn pennies and nickcls.
 It is well-known fact that cent was rare thing on the Pacific coast five years ago, so far as trade was concern ed, and nothing was sold from the store that called for change In cents. The eastern bargain counter with it's "49 ScHto anu IL @l.So piacdruS ana other features attractive to female shoppers Was unknown. Everything was sold in even money and paid for that way. Even the five cent piece was rare. The ten cent piece was practically the smallest piece .n circulation. If an article worth 10 cents was purchased and the purchaser rendered a twenty-five cent piece the chences were that the merchant would hand him 10 cents in change merely be- cause he did not have the other 5 cents to make the change.
 The Pacific coast people do not now like to carry small change, and the order that has been received IS comparatively sn all ore, but to the treasury officials 1t reveals the fact that the habit is growing and indicates that in few years the nickel aud the penny will be in general use in e section of the country hereto fore having no regard for them.
 The thing was true of parts of the south until eight or ten years ago. but the objections to the small coins there have been almost overcome They are still not so generally used there as in the east and portions of the west, and there are still many places in the south where the nickel Is the smallest coin ac- cepted in trade and general use.

Chickens and Eaos.

With all that has been said and writ ten concerning the profitable business of poultry raising, comparatively little pro- gress in this industry has been made in Alabama" said a Morris avenue mer- chant This state should supply the Birmingham market with a large percent age of the chickens and eggs that are con sumed here. As 1t is, fully 90 per cent of these commodities come to Birmingham from other states. Tennessee used to supply us with poultry but since Birming- ham has been such a large consumer we have to draw on several states Missouri and Arkansas now ship chickens and eggs here on large scale. Arkansas has come to be a great polutry state. And if Arkansas finds the chicken and eggs business profitable. Alabama should also make the industry pay"

From the New York Tribune.

From the New Ork IrlDune.
 [ @ JULY two months have passed VO since the steamer Queen, the first boat equipped with turbine engines to cross the English channel be- gan running regularly between Dover and Calais. A much better judgment in re- gard to her qualities can be formed now, therefore than early in the summer; and she las certainly shown herself won derful craft. The absence of noise and vibration adds materially to the comfort of the passengers, and, what Is still more important, she makes new record for speed. In decent weather she travels at three knots an hour, and usually makes the run from pier head to pier head in fifty minutes Thus she beats the swift est of her predecessors by about quar- ter of an hour. It is no wonder that similar vessels are proposed for other routes across the channel.
 Shipbuilders and naval experts who have considered the feasibility of intro- ducing turbines on warships and trans atlantic steamships will find the perform ance of the Queen instructive. Speed is not the only desderatum. Facility in manoeuvring must not be entirely ignored in estimating the virtues and deficiencies of any type of propelling mechanism. Wherever 1t is desirable, as in a ferry service, to run vessel with equal ease in both directions. a double ended side wheeler gives the most satisfaction A boat cannot be backed with screw as fast as she can be driven ahead. The turbine can only be used to rotate shafts running lengthwise. and consequently 1t cannot be applied to paddlewheels. It is available only with screw. Whether the new type of engine would work as well as the old when 1t was necessary to back has been one of the most serious ques- tions requiring solution. Grave misgiv- ings were entertained on this point, be- cause the Parsons engine does not admit of reversal with the same cylinder and turbine which drive a vessel ahead. Sup plementary means must be employed for that function.
 It now appears. from report sent by the American consul in Calais to Wash ington.l that the Queen can go astern at considerably more than half of her full speed when going ahead She has three cylinders, three shafts and three screws. Ordinarily, the middle cylinder takes stfam at high pressure. and passes 1t along for further expansion in the two others. At one end of each of the latter there Is an additional turbine. exclusive ly for reversal. and controlled by Its own valves. When the vessel is backed the
 middle screw is idle. but the combined force of the side screws. when reversed is sufficient to develop thirteen knots. For the brief period in which that maneuver is requisite such a speed would probably

Cold Drinks.

T always feel like resenting the injury done to wine and beer when 1t is served ice cold said an old German-American. T find that Americans who drink claret and Rhine wine put ice in the glass. Some people even put ice in sherry. This is a barbarous practice. Champagne is the only wine that should be iced. The oth- CTS should have normal temperature.
 As for beer, there is no healthier bev- craze when 1t is drunk German style. This American way of drinking-ice cold is harmful to the stomach. It would kill me in a little while. When I drink beer in saloon l let it stand in the glass until the chill gets off"

local Bills a Nuisance.

The problem of legislation is by no means solved by the recess plan. There are fully five hundred local bills block ing the way to consideration of bills of such general importance as the pri- mary bill, the bill for the examination of state and private banks, the special term of court bill, and the fee and county convict reform measures. Each member Is standing by his local bills, and no one is pressing the bills that touch every citizen, and that every
