Return of Gold.

The Financial Age of yesterdays date says: The return of gold within the next few months will do much to improve local monetary conditions, besides adding con- fidence in the general situation. The break in sterling last week was therefore one of the few favorable developments. It is hardly likely that exchange will remain at the importing point until the latter part of August or the beginning of Sep tember, although precedent Is variable on this point Last year sterling held firm. not far below the export point un- til near the close of August. At Septem- ber's opening sight rates stood at par of exchange; the momentary dip to 4s51k came only In the middle of that month. But 1902 was an abnormal year, as was 1901, when a similar monetary move ment, at the same time of the year, was followed by large gold exports The year 1900 was more near the normal, but even then the break in sterling and the gold movement from Europe came only in the last week of September.

Cardinals for America.

Now that we have a new pope the question of having the United States rep- resented in the Sacred college by two or three cardinals instead of only one is being agitated," remarked a layman.
 'I see that some of the papers are al- ready predicting that Arwchbishop Ire land of St. Paul and Archbishop Farley of New York will receive the red hat before this time next year-the former on account of his wide influence as an Amer lean citizen as we'll as his brilliant att tainments, and the latter on account of being at the head of the largest and rich- est archdiocese in America.
 "Pius X. will hardly create two new cardinals in this country at the same time, and as between Ireland and Far ley l would say the former had the bet ter chance. It may be, however, that Archbishop Chapelle of New orleans will be preferred ahead of either of the others. Monsignor Chapelle has been papal delegate to Cuba for four years. He was also papal delegate to the Philip pines for short time. Now. according to sort of unwritten law, all papal dele gates are advanced to the cardinalate."

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs.
Brutal Tastes.

'I was grieved to see that the crowds which went to the hangings last Friday were even larger than the week before" said a Twenty-hrst street business man.
 Tt seems to be a disgrace to our eivili- zation that the sheriff and his deputies should be harrassed and worried half to death by the requests for tickets to attend these hangings. It shows a morbid streak in our citizenship that Is by no means creditable. From the newspaper accounts see that the crowd laughed at the sallies of Hudson on the scaffold which is plain evidence that the people went there simply to be amused If they would go with only the grim purpose of impressing the culprit with the dignity of the law and to show him that they approve the punishment of such criminals as he was they would be in measure excusable. As 1t was they made Will Hudson die a hero-the observ- ed of all observers, and the effect of the punishment on him was the exact opposite of what the capital law contemplates.
 eI have reached the conclusion that hanglngs should either be strictly private or should be where the entire populace can see. Since the present state of eiyili- zation will not sanction the thrusting of gallows scenes on the public gaze 1t seems that the only way to conduct executions is in absolute privacy. If there must be hangings let them be matters only be- tween the men who execute the law and the prisoners upon whom such laws are put into effect"

Ten Months Not LOna Enouoh,

The terms of the agreement signed by both sides in the coal mining dis pute submit to the five arbitrators the entire problem, and technically speak ing they are authorized to bring In any decision that seems to them best, and no one doubts their wisdom or in- tegrity. All are in general way will ing to trust the five selected arbitra- tors.
 But it is claimed that the local un- icns assumed that the award would cover but a single year. It will, in fact, cover but ten months, as two months of the current mining year will have elapsed when the new condi- tlons are presented and put in force. Now, is 1t best to renew the wage scale trouble in ten months? Is it best for either operators or operatives? It certainly is not best for that still larger interest, that of the general public
 If 1t be inadvisable to prepare sliding scale covering three years, as was done in the bard coal districts of Pennsylvania at least let there be provision for continuing work sixty or  ninety days next summer in case the proceedings for new scale have not been consummated. Give that much leeway for procrastination. No one should object to an interregnum in the interest of the district of sixty or even ninety days.
 And If an interregnum be an infrac- ton of the terms of arbitration, then at least let the arbitrators bring in D recommendation covering 1t, to be submitted to the locals. No well meaning operative will object to a definite continuance of work pending settlement of the scale. The sub ject Is one that calls for no passion It does call for compromise, and now Is the time to secure just and reason able compromises. All have conf- dence in the five arbitrators, and all should appeal to them to provide peace for this district beyond ten months.

Six Months Production.

The figures compiled by the Ameri- can Iron and Steel association show that in the first half of the present calendar year 9.707,367 gross tons of pig iron were produced in this coun- try, as against S,S0S,574 tons in the first half of last year. In order to reach a grand total of twenty million tons In the full year 10,30O,OO0 tons would have to be made in the current six months. This is scarcely prob able, although production is going on at an unexampled rate.
 On July l there were 320 furnaces in blast as against 2S6 on July 1 of last year. The Iron Age prints list of seventeen new furnaces that will be put into operation this year, and nearly all of the seventeen are of large capacity. It is plain therefore that the new plants will more than mako good any old plants that will drop out because they cannot make iron economically.
 In this district the production in the first half of the year was 777,S70 tons, as against 7OO546 tons in the first half of last year If this district does as much better in the second half of tho year as it did over the first half of 1902, the production of the second half will be carried to S60,000 tons, making a total in this district for the year of about 1 1,640,000 tons. The total production this year in tho south will be about 3,500,000 tons, and the pro- auction of this district will nearly equal the production of Maryland, vir. ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Y. est Virginia Kentucky and Tennes- see combined. Illinois and this dis trict are running neck-and-neck thls year, the leaders being Pennsylvania and Ohio.

School Census Returns.

The returns from all the districts in this county have not been received by County Superintendent McAdory, but the number of children of school age has risen In this city from 10,0S0 in 1891 to 12,763 this year-an in- crease of 26 per cent in two years. But !, handsome as this increase is it was readily exceeded at Blossburg, where the increase was AS per cent at Jonesboro, where it was 57 per cent; at Woodlawn, where an increase of 70 per cent in two years was ascertained But North Birmingham leads all the rest with 127 per cent. In 1901 North Birmingham had 500 children of school age; now it has 1876!
 Birmingham, Bessemer, North Bir- bingham, Ensley, Woodlawn, Avon
 de. Blossburg, Virginia Mines, Jones' ooro ard West End--ten places in all show an average gain of school children in two years of 46 per cent. The rural district will not show such a large percentage of gains, but it is certainly within the bounds of pru- dence to say that in the two years there has been throughout the coun- try a gain of 20 per cent, thus carry ing the population of the county up to 16S,000, without taking into con sideratlon the gain from the United States census in 1900 up to the school census es 1901. If the gains of that year he added, it must be conceded that the population of the county is fully 175,0Oo

dustries. The average business man or manufacturer cannot offer such col lateral as a New York broker can, and the result is that money becomes hard in territory accessible from New York
 Still bank is short-sighted if 1t puts it's depositors and supporters to inconvenience anu even loss for the sake of earning little more money from the New York brokers, and it is not probable that the evil will be widely felt There must, of course, be some changes in business affairs after such a wild debauch in Wall street, but with great crops to oil the joints of general trade there is no reason to anticipate anything that the country cannot readily handle. All over-capitalization will be sealed down either in fact or in the market, and no doubt the export possibilities of the country will again be closely studied. The time is fast coming when pig iron will be sent abroad from this district, and the rest of the country will soon take up again the subject of foreign trade. which has been almost wholly neglected in the last five years. We had all we could do in supplying home demands, and If the latter should slacken the country will assuredly seek a larger portion of the worlds trade. As that time comes on let us hope the home banks will do nothing to impair home trade and home ambition. New York should be left to take care of It's own troubles, and home money should be kept at home.

Schools in Greater Birmingham.

If the Greater Birmingham bill is to become law, as many say it will, it is certainly best to secure legislation next month looking to the building of a new High school building, not to mention several grammar school build ings. The pressure upon the old shell now occupied by the High school over taxes 1t by at least one hundred stu dents, and presumably the pressure will be increased when Greater Bir- mingham becomes official fact. Each year, at any rate, adds to the pressure and the legislature does not meet 'hgain until 1907. Unless authority be granted in September to vote upon the proposition many young lives will be dwarfed in consequence of our neg lect
 This subject will come home to al- most every family before the legfsla- ture meets in 1907. for child from any family may be shut out from the High school before that time. If nothing else will arouse the people to the need of larger High school build ing, the closing of its doors to children certainly will, and If justice be done and no favoritism shown any child in the city may become the victim of . lost opportunity.
 Other schools are sadly needed, not ably the Thomas school for negroes, which is strangely delayed, although the money from the sale of the lot on which the burned building stood is in hand. But the lack of grammar schools, painful and dlscreditable as 1t Is, is no reason why Greater Bir- mingham should not equip Itself with an adequate high school. It certainly cannot attract thoughtful families if it does not, It certainly cannot keep step with the progress of the times If 1t clings fast to the rookery in Twenty-first street four years more.
 A bill authorizing the submission to the people of the question of the is suance of needful bonds should be passed next month, and then the peo- pie will be free to act upon 1t when they see plainly, clearly and impera- lively their needs Postponement of the subject four years is too dreadful to contemplate, or even to anticipate hs a possibility.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Southern industrial institute.

 To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 l would like to call the attention of your readers to the work for white youths of slender means at the Camp Hnn Industrial school at Camp Hllf, this State. The school now in It's sixth year, Is trying to provide way for worthy boys and girls to win an educa- ton by the work of their own hands. The school is regularly incorporate by the general assembly of the State and Is undenomlnationaL We now have 400 acres of land On this land we have built a school building 50x7o two aories' high, entirely with student labor. sev- eral smaller buildings have been put up by the students also. The value of our property is s20OOO or more. The indus tries we teach are farming, dafrying and stock raising, sawmilling and carpenter ing. cooking, sewing and laundering.
 MT. Andrew Carnegie has lately given us 5000 for trades building for boys. In this building we shall teach brick making, cabinet making. wheelwright- ing, tinsmithing, canning and painting. Our idea is to raise our own. food, make our own buildings, furniture, apparatus. etc.-in short to teach as far as we may the spirit of self-reliance in each of our students.
 The students are paid for their work in these various productive industries and are thus enabled to pay their way in the academic department of the school. Seventy dollars pays the way of one student for a year. Students fgtsh small means at hand only work pa yf the time, while students with no means We allow to work all the time and at tend our night school. This latter class will eventually save enough to enter our day school.
 Just now our students are at work upon our first dormitory. We have nam ed this building Alabama Hall. We have had thus far no adequate quarters for our students. They have been housed in private houses and in some old build ings belonging to the school. Every bit of work on Alabama Hall is to be done by the students under the direction of a skilled carpenter. The cost of the build ing will be only $l,2OO. About $300 has been given toward this amount by Ala bamians. and we are anxious that the remainder of this amount shall also be contributed by the peopie or our own State. Our treasurer is Prof. H. c. Woody of Camp Hill, Ala. Any amount contributed will greatly help and bless us.
 w need $22000 for our expenses for this help to about 200 boys and girls during qualification to us if we could secure the entire sum for Alabama Hall from the State in whose honor we name our building
 We cannot begin to help all the stu dents who appeal to us, and some 800 have been turned away from our doors since our school opened on the Fist of September In 1898. We have given some help to about POO boys ana giries during our history. l shall be very glad to answer any questions that may be ad- dressed to me. Our school opens for it's sixth year on September 3.

New Conditions in Trade.

A Springfield, Massachusetts. core. spondent of the New York Evening Post reports that New York brokers well loaded with valuable collaterals are haunting country banks, seeking time loans They offer good rates of interest and their collaterals are of undoubted value. They know better than to offer any of the indigestible sort. Call money is not lacking in Wall street, but time money is not in great supply, and it is time money that the brokers need in order to tide them over the protracted squally sea. scn.
 Such seeking of time money in provincial" banks creates money stringency in the country where it Is needed in the conduct of trade or in

any of the great religious orders, but has belonged all his life to the secular clergy. Moreover. his ecclesiastical fune- tions have been discharged. not in any of the former states of the church. but in an outlying province where he has ale ways been a stipendiary of the civil pow CT, first of the Austrian and then of the Italian government. The nomination of Cardinal sarto to be Patriaeh of Venice must have been abortive but for the aeauiescence of King Humbert l., ana neither the Quirinal nor the Vatican has had reason to regret the appointment. His intercourse with the last and with the present sovereign of Italy has been exceptionally amicable.
 So far then, as the past may afford key to the future, we can see no reason to doubt that Plus x will evince a con clliatory spirit toward the Italian mcn- archy whenever he can do so without jeapordizing the Fundamental Interests of the papacy We do not for T moment. imagine that he will ever recognize Kbig Victor Emanuel IT. as the rightful ruler of Rome or of any part of Peters patrl- mony but minor concessions may be made that will relieve the tension that has for thirty-three years existed bee tween vatican and quirlnal Then, again. having been, as we have said a member of the secular, and not of the regular. clergy, he seems likely to resasi withl approval the patient and conciliatory course which was adopted by Leo KILL toward the French republic after the ac- eession of Cardinal Rampolla to the rost of papa1 secretary of state. For the same reason he may be expected to maintain friendly relations with the civil power in Germany, Great Britain an1 the United States; to facilitate the settlement of the friars question in the Philippines and to sympathize with the broad and eniighten- ed views of Archbishop Ireland
 We add that no single feature of he late Pope's career will appeal more strongly to the heart of his success IF than the attempt to win the confidence of worlIingmen all over Christendom, 10 ameliorate their lot and to reconcile the interests of capital and labor. While he was patriarch he did not hesitate to in- terpose personally in disputes between employers and the employed. and it was due to his good offices that strike of cigarmakers at Venice was ayerted.
 There Is no doubt that in this instance, the most august office upon earth fell 10 none of those who coveted and sought 1t. The office sought the man. and was ac. cepted with profound reluctance. The sense of the tremendous responsibility imposed that was evinced by Cardinal Sarto when he received the sufrages of the conclave may well be looked upon as an augury of devotion to the loftiest con oeption of the duties Of the head of .he church.

good measure. suffice 1t to say, not one of them-not even Memphis would be in the running. True, the price of iron may not stay up to ten dollars, and the development of our industries hereafter may not keep pace with that of the years which have elapsed since the federal census was taken, but then again we may see the opening of the Warrior utilized and the digging of an isthmian canal discounted, and then the growth of the past would be but shadow of the growth of the future. There Is not much comfort in the situation for our esteemed rivals.

"HIAWATHA.v
Indianapolis News.

From the Indianapolis News. Then the band played Hiawatha, Played it up and down the highways, Footed it along the byways; At park concerts played it loudly; Played itself back from the graveyard To the ever haunting measure, While the people who will whistle Joined in misfit key the chorus, And cen some dared raise their voices In a de-dum-ti-dumdum, Lacking words to grace their meaning, Or, 1t may be, lacking meaning; At pianos idly humping Tender maidens also played it. Till the atmosphere resounded With the strains of Hiawatha. Then, when shades of night had fallen. And the push was silent tired out, Then. ah. then we found with sorrow That 1t all had been for nothing, All our suffering for nothing. For of all the ardent tooters, All the whistlers so persistent All the hummers cracked or raucous, All the thumpers of pianos, Not one of the whole blamed outfit Had in one cratic measure Struck the note that kills mosquitoes: And, throughout the long nights dark
 ness,
 still the insects buzzed about us That same tune with variations, So much suffering is futile!
