Memorial to Jefferson.

yirginians are raising money with which to build road between Char lottesville and Monticello as a me- morial to Thomas Jefferson. The Old Dominion is not as well off in country roads as Alabama is. In the entire state the macadamized mileage is less than the mileage of the chertea roads of Jefferson county.
 But virginians should have no diff culty in collecting funds for this me- morial. An enduring road will be par ticularly appropriate a tribute to lief ferson's memory, because, as the Balti- more Sun remarks, there never lived in this country a more earnest and intelligent advocate of improvements, and especially of good roads"
 Monticello, the home of Jefferson, has long been shrine for men promi- nent in the democratic party. Few historic spots in this country attract

yention. After saying how grateful he is at the manifestation of friendly feeling toward him on the part of his countrymen the ex-president writes;
 Tn the midst of it all. in full view of every consideration presented, I have not for a moment been able, or am l now able, to open my mind to the thought that in any case under any circumstances or upon any consideration, I should ever again become the nominee of my party for the presidency
 My determination not to do so is un- alterable and conclusive"
 MT. Cleveland's firm stand in this matter, while disappointing at the time to his ardent admirers who have been urging him for the nomination, will raise him higher than ever in the esti- nation of the American people.
 No man has ever been so honored as MT. Cleveland. Thrice nominated for the presidency by his party and twice elected, he stands alone in American history. Those of his friends who wanted him to carry the democratic standard for the fourth time had an idea that he could do more than any other man to restore harmony in the party, while those who were not friendly to him charged that he was a man of such inordinate ambi- tion as to make him more than willing to enter the race again. The latter did him a gross injustice, as his letter proves. As a patriotic citizen and an ex-president Mr Cleveland will have the sincere respect of men of both ot the great political parties as he spends the remaining years of his life in quiet home pursuits at Princeton.
 A few weeks ago it looked as II the nomination would lie between German and Cleveland. Today it naturally looks as if Senator German would be
 
 an easy winner He is enthusiastically the souths favorite and he is uncommonly strong in the east. In the west, too, he has strong following. Indeed, wherever democratic policies prevail and wherever party discipline and the value of able and experienced leader ship are appreciated Arthur P. Cor man is looked upon as an ideal eandi- date. Judge Alton B. Parker of New York is still an aspirant for the nom- ination and he w,A doubtless command considerable support in his state. But as the situation presents itself today German seems to be decidedly the best man to oppose the election of Roose- vaIt Hif

Guardinu the President.

No one criticizes the President Of the United States when he takes the precaution to have himself well guard ed against the attack of possible as sassin. In view of the tragedies that have occurred the President would be little short of foolhardy were he to fail to protect himself as far as possible.
 Even while attending the funeral of relative in New York Friday. Pres ident Roosevelt was closely guarded by detectives and secret service men and a large part of the police force was called into requisition to act as an escort to the executive of the na- tion. Assuming that the President has no personal fear of death, he cameo afford to take any chances of being shot or stabbed by crank or fend, for fatal injury to him would be dire calamity to the nation.
 The attendance of detectives on the President of the United States is of comparatively recent origin and con ditions that make such precautions advisable furnish a sad commentary on our lack of an especial and stringent statutory enactment making it a cap itaI offense for any one to attempt to take the life of the chief magistrate.
 The first shock that the country had in the tragic death of President was when Wilkes Booth assassinated Lin coln. But no one dreamed that like occurrence was to be repeated. Grant was President eight years, but he never had bodyguard or detective about the White House or wherever else he might be. Hayes, who succeeded l Grant, served as President four years and retired from office without hav- | ing made the acquaintance of secret service man. Garfield was shot by the assassin Guiteau in 1881, and since that time a number of policemen and secret service men have formed part of the White House contingent. Con- 1 gress should pass such law as has been proposed without further delay, but with that done the President | would still be on the safe side by | guarding himself.

 There is not much chance for hunter in Florida these days unIess ne be a citi- zen of the Flower state" said MT. Mill ner. Unless you reside there, you are compelled to take out a hunting permit which costs BIO for the season. This per- init stipulates, too, that not over twenty five quail and one turkey must be killed in one day. And after you take out the permit and bag your game, then you must eat it or dispose of it some other way, as you can not ship II out or Florida. Unless you are a citizen, you had better beware of the hunting grounds of the pennisular."

Grover Cleveland.

Former President Grover Cleveland has eliminated himself from the list of presidential possibilities in 1904. For some months past he had been re- garded as a candidate, and very strong one. for the democratic nomi- nation. Many of his old friends were eager to see him make the race and they seemed confident that he could carry New York and New Jersey, in spite of the American prejudice against third term aspirants. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, was supposed to be friendly to him, and this, of course, gave his partisans hope.
 But MT. Clevelands letter which ap- peared in yesterdays Age-Herald makes 1t clear enough that under no circumstances will he allow his name to be presented to the nominating con.

Senator McLaurin.

United States Senator A. J. McLaurin of Mississippi spent the morning of Thanksgiving day in Birmingham, having missed connection and the dinner turkey. too at his beautiful home in Brandon. The Senator was accompanied by Con- gressman Mclean of the Sixth Mississ- ippi district who is himself a Scotehman. The Sentor is what we may call com moner." He knows everybody. and lets them know it, and this fact has much to do with his having been elected about ten years ahead to senatorial honors. The Senator is not only natura-born Scotch orator, firm In his convictions, but he Is a good Methodist and boasts that he has never used tobacco in any way, shape or form to his own knowledge. He is 54 years old, but as gray as a badger. As a democrat he favors German and Hearst as the winning ticket against Roose- welt, but seems rather inclined to the be- lief that the republicans will not make so great a blunder as to nominate the strenuous young man, fearing as they do, that he might lead the country into dan ger and perhaps disaster. The Senator is of the opinion that Hanna will take the nomination if 1t be offered him.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
Compared With Other Cities.

There is more hustle and bustle on the streets of Birmingham by lamplight than there is in most southern cities during the busiest hours of the day." said a well-known travelling man who is stop ping at the Hillman.
 This city is cosmopolitan to a marked degree, and it's citizens that is a great majority of them, earn big money and spend it freely. I make most of the larger southern cities and I sell more goods in Birmingham than I do in either Memphis or New Orleans. The citizens here demand the best, therefore the mer- chants buy the best
 While it is true there are not SO many sources of amusement in Birming- ham as there are in the larger cities, still they will come in time I do not mean to intimate that the city is quiet. Far from that. It Is pleasant to the eye of busi- ness man to watch the push and energy of the citizens. They are busy all the time

 The general business situation i'll Bir- mingham has improved much during the past week. The bankers have recovered from their timidity; money is easier; iron is selling better; cotton is moving rapidly and in every way business interests are better. number of New York directors of the Sloss company have been here during the past wdek looking over their property and examining accounts. One of them, interested to the extent of sev- eral hundred thousand dollars, told me yesterday that he was better pleased with the business of the Sloss company than ever, because of the fact that his inves- tigation demonstrated to him that the Sloss company could continue to make iron under any and all conditions. h. deed, the Sloss people have been making much money in the past several years, and I hear that they are contemplating extending their operations in the Birming- ham district in manner which w,ll be surprising to the people here.
 In the prosperity and plenty in Birming- ham generally the police tell me that there are many cases of actual suffering from the recent cold weather-that there are families in actual need of fuel clothing and food. The ladies of the United Chari- ties organization are doing good work as far as their funds will go, but they need more funds and the generous and charitably disposed can do no more chris tian act than to send contributions to this organization at Third avenue and Twenty-second street at once. None of US should permit suffering when we can aid to prevent it.

 Congressman Martin, from South Da- kota, wants to have measure passed which will set aside October 12, the an- niversary of the discovery of America by Columbus as national holiday. If his bill is enacted into law it will be the first time that a general holiday has been put on the calendar by federal legislation. and from present indications there Is lit- tie chance that his desires will be grati- fled. All agree that the anniversary of Columbus great find is worthy of com memoration, and in fact should by all means be observed but there are enough holidays already and few states show any inclination to add to the number. Under the present arrangement all holi-. days are made by the individual states. Some have more than others, while days that are of much import in one part of the country are completely ignored else- where. Fourth of July, Christmas and Thanksgiving are about all the days gen. orally celebrated. Even among these there is discrepancy.
 King Edwards decision not to send his horses to the St. Louis fair no doubt de- prives American people of seeing some fine blooded stock, but there are animals just as well bred in this country and per- haps even better than any the royal sta bles of England can produce. In fact America is the great horseman's para disc, where he can see the finest sport at all times and all places. In France some of the races are good; in Russia the sport is appreciated, and in England the Derby Is of international interest, but when it comes down to heavy plunging, hard run ming, and fine exhibitions of speed Amer lea exceils all other countries. Even the famed Arabian steeds would have a hard time making any impression in such com pany as Lou Dillon and Dan Patch As a horse producing state Old Kentucky per haps ranks first. At least people like to associate it's green grass with thorough breds. P. c.
