NOT ADDICTED TO LUCIDITY.

Champ Clark says in the New Age:
In viwe of the fact that Senator w.
B. Allison is going to write tLo Iowa
Republican platform this year and in
view of the further fact that there has
been a good deal of friction among the
Hawkeye State Republicans concern
ing the Iowa idea,' the following an
ecdote, which has been floating around
becomes apropos: mo member of Con-
gress is so successful in keeping his
views out of the peapers as Senator
Allison of Iowa. His dexterity in this
matter has earned for him the nick
name Pussy Foot Some time ago he
dictated to his secretary a reply to
letter asking for his opinion on a GER
tain meter When he concluded, the
Senator asked his secretary what he
thought of the answer. We'll, Senator,
to be candid with you, l cannot make
out Just what you do mean That's 1t.
that's it, said the Senator approving
ly. I don't want him to know either.
Since the devil took the SaviOus to
the top of high mountain and offered
him the dominion of the world to fall
down and worship him there has been
no such manifestation of gall as that
exhibited by General Brayton, the Re-
publican boss of Rhode Island. Last
year the people of that diminutive
commonwealth grew weary of Repub-
lican domination, Republican corrupt
ion and Republican maladministration
consequently they elected Democra-
tic House Of Representatives But the
Republican Senate, under the Republi-
can boss, has blocked all reform leg
islation. Not long since the Democra-
tic Governor Garvin said that the Re
publican supremacy was maintained
in little Rhody only by bribery, where
upon the Republican boss defiantly re
plies, "Of course the Governor is
right" which sounds very much like
Boss Tweeds defiant What are yoU
going to do about it," The boss found
out to his sorrow.

The war department has officially
notified officers serving or about tC
serve in the Philippines that alliances
with Filipion maidens made after the
fashion of Nine Butterfy's recreant
spouse are not to be regarded by the
department as the temporary affairs
which their contractors have hereto
fore considered them.
The particular case which stirred
up the department seems to have beer
that of young officer now stationed
at Fort Leavenworth who became en-
gagged to Leavenworth girl. 1t wa:
known that the officer had lived will
a Filipino girl after some sort of
ceremony, but while his American fl
ancee is said to have raised no objec
tions on account of this state of things
the war apartment declared that h,
could not marry in this country with
out having obtained divorce from hi
Filipino consort.

Cuban ReCiprOcity.

Congress will meet today in special session, and the question of Cuban re- ciprocity will come up as soon as the ways and means committee is appoint ed. Some will contend that the treaty should be carried into full effect as I moral duty on our part, after we had brought free Cuba into existence.
 But there is no need to put it on any idealistic or sentimental ground. It will pay us to promote the prosperity of Cuba, for her trade would under more Cubans the more trade we would get from Cuba We have all that Cuba cannot grow and does not make, and if the island were fully developed our trade with it would become very large, and in the long run it would lead to annexation. We cannot afford to re- fuse, in other words, to carry out the provisions of the new treaty.
 And yet the beet sugar growers, and the other beneficiaries of the sacred tariff will gather at Washington to urge congress to stand pat on the Dingley scheme at least until after election day next year. To do this would be short-sighted and wasteful, and if any such policy should be adopt ed it would indeed show to what ex- tent we are bound hand and foot to the Dingley scheme for fleecing con- sumers.
 The special session will be full of interest, and It will soon be seen whether it is to be ruled by the stand patters or by men who do not consider the Dingley bill divine. The inevita- ble war between the ultra tariffites and the rest of the world will soon come on, and it should be fought out without compromise and without quib- bling of any sort.

Uniform Divorce Law.

The hardships of written constitu- tion are felt by those who now see the need of an uniform divorce law. With out constitutional amendment, which is well-nigh a physical impossl- bility, there must be forty-fye divorce laws in this country, no two of which are alike. As things stand proposed divorcee simply hunts for a state that suits his or her case or peccadilloes, and proceeds to get a divorce, which under the current practice all states must recognize to some extent at least.
 Forty-five differing divorce laws in one country is forty-four too many, and there is no help for it unless all the states will agree upon a common law, and pass it. It is not an easy task to get forty-five states to agree among themselves, but the situation is becoming so acute and so grave that common agreement may be possible.
 Let a law be drawn by a convention convened for that purpose that will meet a just public sentiment in all states, and then let a campaign for it's adoption be begun from one end of the uniform law on the subject is now deeply felt, and the passage of such a law is much more easily possible at present than it would have been five years ago.

Speaker-to-Be Cannon's Policy.

In accepting the republican nomina- ton for speaker Mir Cannon told his republican supporters that they should pass needufl reciprocity legislation, pass generous not extravagant' ap- propriation bills, and adjourn. This programme covers both the special and long session, and if accepted 1t means that there is to be no revision of the tariff and no currency legisla- lion until after the November election. MT. Cannon no doubt presented the administration plan, and the repnbli can leaders will doubtless endeavor to carry it out.
 They may be able to prevent actual legislation on the tariff or the curren- cy, but they cannot prevent a discus sion of the Dingley tariff or of the non elastic currency system. The Cuban reciprocity legislation will enable the democrats in the senate to present all the beauties of the tariff robbery sys- tenn, showing incidentally how it drove the country into a crazy boom and then left it in the depths of reaction marked by armies of unemployed men. crippled industries and all the other sad effects of over-production.
 The republicans can no longer point with pride to a false and deceptive prosperity, for that prosperity has dis appeared, and "steel common" it's chief fruit, is selling at ten cents on the dollar. They cannot warn the peo- pie against a revenue tariff, for Ding leyism is closing up shops as rapidly as the Wilson tariff did. They have lost their stock ammunition, and must now come down to plain facts and rock bottom truths. For this reason the democrats in congress- should elucidate Dingleyism at every opportunity, pune turing its overblown tires, and expos ing it's inward rottenness and robbery. For this reason no reciprocity legisla- tion will be consummated at the spec ial session, and the long session will be well advanced before the Cuban bill becomes a law

a;rminoham Amusements.

Fun lovers will have plenty of amuse- ment the coming week at the Jefferson, said a gentleman yesterday who is fre- ouently seen in the parquet. Comedy is in order and every night we will nave an opportunity of taking laugh. To- morrow afternoon and night the Broad hurst comedies will be presented. Tues day night we have Mary Mannering in The Stubbornness of Geraldine This is said to be a particularly pleasing bit of comedy and Miss Mannering's charm ing personality shows to advantage. We'd nesday is The Smart Set and Thurs day night comes The Silver Slipper one of the largest musical organizations on the road and one of the most handsome ly staged When The Silver Slipper was first presented in New York it created a furor and is just the kind of production to please Birmingham audience. The Two Johns Friday will no doubt prove amusing. Saturday Marie Wainwright will present one of Shakespeare's best known comedies in Twelfth Night. At the Jefferson comedy will certainly hold the boards for six days

Theatre Carrjaues,

T have noticed the absence of car riages a the Jefferson during evening performances, said visitor. ''rhis is either a sign that the wealthier classes are not patronizing the playhouse very much or else they are democratic enough to walk when they cannot depend on the tender mercies of the trolley cars. l have been in Birmingham several times recently and availed myself of the op- portunity to go down to one of the two theaters. At both I noticed there were no waiting carriages. On the night when Ada Rehan and Otis Skinner presented "rhe Tanning of the Shrew' there were possibly dozen or fifteen cabs waiting in front of the Jefferson. Most of these were private, but that was the only time vehicles were conspicuous Most of the time there are no conveyances at all, unless perchance a public cab.
 Yet, in spite of this fact, both the Jefferson and the Bijou do a very large business Birmingham is fortunate in possessing two such excellent play houses

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
The Stock Market.

Henry clews. in his circular letter of Saturdays date. says:
 Speculative conditions in the stock mar ket show moderate improvement and in creasing resisting powers Confidence l revives slowly, but there is marked absence of the unsettling rumors which affected the stability of values during the last two or three months. Now that the weakest spots in the situation have been eliminated the market is more like ly to be under the influence of natural conditions and it's future to be more safely gauged by ordinary judgment. High grade securities have already shown a fair recovery but their further im- provement is temporarily impeded by the monetary outlook and by the pernicious effect on the general market caused by the excessive weakness in the United States steel shares.
 During the next few weeks good rates for money are likely to prevail, and it is quite conceivable that occasional fiurries may be encouraged meanwhile. It must be remembered that the crop movement is two to three weeks late in most localities. and even four weeks late in some; so that these demands have appeared later than usual and funds will be correspondingly late in returning. This will be especially true of the south. where the high price of cotton, the rapidity with which it is being marketed and the lateness of the crop all tend to upset all ordinary cal culations as to the southern movement.

FOREIGNERS BUYING STEEL.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 In view of the widespread interest taken in the outlook for the iron and steel industry, the announcement that 100000 tons of American steel have just been ordered by Welsh tin plate makers will be read with considerable attention. This is quite the most important devel- opment in our steel trade that has come to notice in a long while past. The con- tract calls for the delivery of the order at s20 ton. presumably making no ad- dition for the freight, insurance and other charges incident to its passage across the Atlantic The lowest domes- tic quotation on steel hillets~-aud this takes account of the latest reductions reported within the last day day or two is S2575 a ton; hence 1t appears that the Welsh market Is being supplied any where from s6 to sS a ton cheaper than the lowest which the American pur- chaser has to pay.
 It is not surprising that in financial circles this should be accepted as con- firmation of all that has been said re- gently regarding the reaction in the Iron trade. When our manufacturers make up their minds to underbd foreign man.
 
 order to do this cut prices to a point where 1t is doubtful If the transaction does not involve an actual loss. it may safely be concluded that a real overpro- duction exists in the domestic market The excessive surplus must be got rid of in some way. or else domestic prices must be cut. That is to say, American producers must be willing to sell a part of their product on lower level Of profits They have evidently decided in this instance in favor of the first alter native.
 It would be mistake. therefore. to suppose that the large order placed with the Welsh tin plate makers is sign that we are about to regain permanent foothod in the markets abroad. Foreign prices are not high enough to admit this competition on a profitable basis. When the domestic overproductien has been re- lieved by the double process of sacrifice sales abroad and curtailing output at home shipments of steel to Europe are li.sely to cease.

Senator's Fees.

Senator Stone of Missouri is the only member of the upper house who dares smoke pipe in public" said a gentle man from Washington. His colleagues seem to think a pipe beneath their dig nity, for they all prefer cigars while on parade. There are several senators who indulge in briers and meerschaums while in the seclusion of their dens, but never in public In fact. our senators are nearly all high flyers, and do not hesi- tate to spend their salaries in order to keep up appearances. 1 suppose they are justified m this for as legislators of this great country they must take some steps to preserve their dignity, and none Is more effective among the masses than an air of quiet elegance.
 "Our national lawmakers have been the subjects for many jokes about their proclivites for the pleasures of life, ln- cluding poker games. There are many skillful 'pasteboard artists in the capi- tol but they do not thirst after general notoriety, especially among their own clients"

China's Doom in Siuht.

It is reasonably well settled that Ja- pan and Russia have or soon will agree on terms of settlement by which Japan will be given a free hand in Korea and Russia in Manchuria. This is bet. ter to Japan than war although 1t is not what she really desired.
 But it is not better to the United States, because 1t means that China will soon be partitioned among the nations, and there will not be an open door anywhere in its once broad do- main. When Russia is allowed to gob- ble Manchuria, France will want big sphere of influence near Hong Kong; sions near Shantung, and England will extend her power in the central Yangstee valley. Even Japan may want a slice of China. The partition of China once begun will assuredly go on to finish, and it will be begun as soon as the signing of treaty by Ja- pan and Russia IS announced
 The United States will thus lose a valuable market, and the cotton mills of the south will feel the change more than any other set of manufacturers unless indeed practlca. monopoly of the material can in some way be used to give us protection.
 Unless indeed we were prepared to join Japan in an effort to oust Russia from Manchuria the outcome thus out lined was inevitable. and the admins tration long ago decided it would not go to war to defend the cotton inter ests of the south. Other interests in this country will suffer loss through a partition of China, but none of them will feel the change as the south will.
 It is as good as begun, and in the course of a single decade the old China will cease to fill big place on the map of the world. The big de. fenseless country Is to be carved into slices because it insisted on maintain' ing fools paradise by refusing to keep step with the progress of the
 
 world. or rather with the changes ol
