THE THREE FISHERS.

By Charles Kingsley Three fishers went sailing away to the
 West Away to the West as the sun went
 down; Each thought of the.-woman who loved
 him the best, And the children stood watching them
 out of the town; For men must work and women must
 weep; And there's little to earn and many to
 keep,
 Though the harbor-bar be moaning. Three wives sat up in the lighthouse
 tower
 And trimmed inc -amp5 as the sun
 went down; They looked at the squall and they looked
 at the shower And the night-rack came rolling up
 ragged and brown. But men must work and women must
 weep. Though the storms be sudden and waters
 deep, And the harbor-bar be moaning. Three corpses lay out in the shining
 sands
 In the morning gleam as the tide went
 down. And the women are weeping and wringfns
 their hands, For those who will never come back to
 the town; For men must work and women must
 weep And the sooner it's over, the sooner to And goodbye to the bar and its moan

4 Bicycle Revival

'4The popularity of bicycles 1T. Birming- ham seems to be reviving," said a sports man. T suppose the completion of the new stadium and current talk of races to take place there has done much to stimulate interest in the sport. I under stand that since the stadium was com pleted 1t has been popular place of re- sort among the amateur riders in town, who are testing their speed and endur- ance. A sporting goods dealer told me the other day that Le was gratiied to note an increasing demand for wheels, and said he was making many more sales than he expected, in view of the fact that bicycles have been 70 eelipsed by automobiles.
 It is possible to buy wheels for al most any old price these days. You can purchase one for s9 if you feel disposed but very good machine can be bought for sS0 or $40. I predict that bicycle rac- ing will become quite popular II the stadium is maintained, and there Is no reason why this town should not produce some fast riders. I believe we have the material here. All this is needed is de- velopment."

Twenty-seven Feet on the Bar.

Mobile rejoices. It's merchants pro- pose to print on their envelopes, Mo bile Outer Bar 27 feetl", thus carry ing the good news by every letter that is sent out.
 Heretofore the depth on the outer bar has been but twenty-four feet, and vessels could not be loaded beyond twenty-two or twenty-three feet. The dredging under the present govern ment contract has deepened the chan mel about four feet thus enabling a larger class of vessels 10 enter the bay and steam up to Mobile itself. There is plenty of water inside the bar.
 This is good news, not only to Mo bile but to the district drained by the Warrior river for in the course of timel there will be an Open Warrior. Every foot on the outer bar adds a proportionate foo, to the prosperity of Mobile and of all the country north of it to Sand mountain, and especially in the mineral district, which has as deep an interest in the depth of water on the outer bar as it has in the water on the sills of the locks in the Warrior. That outer bar is the outer bar of the entire mineral district of this state, and it rejoices over the deepening that has been accomplished. The deepen ing of the Warrior and the outer bar should go on hand in hand, the one being the complement of the other.
 The Register says the increased depth on the outer bar will mark the beginning of another era of prosperity for Mobile. So it will, but Mobiles greatest prosperity will come when the Warrior Is opened to the railroad bridges, and the coal, coke, iron stee and manufactured products of this dis trict can be barged to Mobile bay every day in the year in six-feot water

Influence of the Soldiers.

Since the state troops have taken pos- session of Birmingham it is interesting as well as amusing to note the effect their presence is having on young men about town" said one of them yester- day "A party of young fellows may be standing on lne corner in listless atti- tudes, and apparently bored to death' but just as soon as the soldiers come march, in down the street they straighten up' square their shoulders and try to be as military as possible. l have often noticed that when I see a particularly fine look ing specimen of a soldier. with broad shoulders and erect bearing. l can not resist the momentary impulse to throw my shoulders back also. or course they droop forward again as soon as the sol dier is out of sight, but good example, when vanity urges us to follow it, never fails to have a salutary effect"

For Governor of New York.

Ordinarily few in the south would care to know who is to be governor of New York, but in November New York will be absolutely pivotal, and the race for governor in that state becomes interesting. Both sides are endeavoring to strengthen the national ticket by selecting a nominee for gov ernor of known strength and popular ity.
 The republicans prefer to support E1ihu Root, but he declines to leave his corporation clients for another turn at the political wheel. They are willing to accept Frank s. Black, who has once held the office. MT. Black desires to succeed Senator Depew, and he is not willing to risk the chances of defeat by running for an office he does not want. The republi- can nominee may therefore be ex- lleul.-dON. l LII WOOuIul, WuOSt Wdlol- coats have made him national fig ger" Tim is willin, more than willin', and his pursuit O. the office as the logi- cal candidate may be successful. He is as rich as ne is logical.
 On the democratic side of the house William T. Jerome has been considered with view to whirlwind campaign. MT. Jerome is now district attorney in New York city, ana his pursuit of the gamblers and other offenders would render him a hot campaigner The leaders do not like him, however because he is absolutely unmanage able. The people on the contrary do like him. Either MT. Jerome or Mayor Mcclellan will become the nominee and either can roll up big vote in New York city. It is difficult to say which would be the stronger of the two

Our Soldiers.
two

Birmingham extends a hearty vel come to the citizen soldiery of Ala bama, now encamped here. The brig ade of the A. N. G., commanded by Gen. Louis V. Clark has come with full ranks, and will remain in camp all the week
 The national guard in this state was never in such good condition as it is today The commands are made up of stalwart young manhood, and military discipline is rigidly observed In case of war the guardsmen would be al most as available and quite as eff. cient in the field as the United States regulars. Every civilian must feel proud of tLe soldiers.
 The encampment is easily accessible by street car lines, and visitors will be greatly in evidence every after noon to see the dress parade.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
The Campaign.

From the Richmond Times-Dispateh.
 The Times Dispatch believes that the democrats have splendid opportunity to elect their ticket this year. A plat form has been made. upon which all dem ocrats may comfortably stand. and our nominee is a man whom democrats can cordially and enthusiastically support He has shown himself to be a man of conscience and of courage and a leader. As President of the United States. all in- terests would be safe in his hands, and he would make record of which the demo- cratic party would be proud.
 But we must take nothing for granted. We must have a bold, vigorous, aggres- sive campaign. We must storm the fort of Rooseveltism, and place the banner of democracy upon the rampant. We must convince the voters that Roosevelt Is an imperialist: that he is the antithesis of the true democrat that he is a born aris- ment; he believes In class legislation and government favoritism; he believes in foreign exploitation and Is disposed to rough-rfde over the constitution. We concede that he is an honest man and conscientious. but that makes him all the more dangerous as a political rough rider. He ought to be beaten this time. and he can be beaten if democrats will unite heartily upon the platform and ticket, which the convention has offered to the public

It Will Not Work.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Republicans are discounting their own intelligence when they declare, as some of them are already doing, that a demo- cratic triumph in November will endanger the money standard of the government. They know that the prompt action of Judge Parker placed the party firmly, un- equivocaly and irrevocably on the gold standard, and those who lead the demo- cratic hosts will allow no room for doubt as to their position. They know, further, that if Judge Parker is elected he will not allow any experiments with the mone- tary standard, even if congress should De democratic, and if there could be found democrats who would try to change that standard. If both house and senate shouIc be democratic in the next congress we do not believe there could be found fifty in both houses who would want to change the standard or try to do it.
 No, that cat won't jump. Democrats of all shades know that the standard is now fixed, and a large majority of them be- lieve that it is fixed right. The party couldn't change 1t if it would. It wouldn't change 1t If it could, and that's all there is about it. The republicans can't make any issue on that question for Judge Parker and the convention forestaned them. There are plenty of points of dhs- agreement between the parties to make a hot campaign on, but the money standard is not one of them.

He Must Come Back.
rom Inc New Yorkl Sun,

From the New York Sun.
 At last we lift our heads from the wave of distress whicn haJ submerged the United States since the Hon. George Fred Williams of Dedham, Mass, spake these awful words at St. Louis:
 T may vote for Parker. but I shall take no part in the campaign.
 q shall look to the future for judgment on my action.'
 One vote, even if cast by great silver statesman's hand, can 1, ltter little to Judge Parker. But how can there be a campaign without the Hon. George Fred Williams? Who else can carry Vermont for the democrats Who else can inject panic into the souls of the Maine repub- licans? What other voice of fire can cook the Holsters in their pots in Plymouth Bay, roast the Rocky Point clans and make the peaceful Mashpee Indians yell the scalping chorus?
 We don't ask the immortal Williams to take part in the campaign. The whole of it is all too little for him. Such as 1t is, let him have it. Judge Parker is gen erous and knows Mir. Williams.
 We have a right :, as.l this. For at least twenty-two years we have stood upon the watchtower and proclaimed Williams.
 And here is Williams scorning the living present and looking to the future. The future will be very busy and there are many Williamses. Now is the time for the Dedham Demossn ssnenes to come and pour forth He will. This petulance will pass. Unless 1t does, there can be no Campaign

and the radical tendencies of the French government. 1t is plain rup- ture is impending, and the rupture can have but one ending-the separa- ton of church anu state. The French clergy. including the bishops, would then be supported by the voluntary contributions of the faithful, as they are in this country. At present the entire church establishment in France is a public charge. M. Combes would not be a good ecclesiastical head, and if the eoncordat be broken by the dismissal by t.-o pope of the offending bishops, it is plain that church and state in France will soon be sepa- rated. The example of America is on.

Roller Coaster Habit.

Birmingham has an exaggerated at tack of the roller-coasting habit said a young man about town. Since the new amusement enterprise started at the Lake I never saw anything like the craze for riding on 1t which has been developed by the public. People almost climb over one another in their efforts to get to the cars. and if you are not among the first there is no telling when you will have an opportunity of taking a trip, as a great many people like the sensation so we'll that they ride over and oyer again. It is easy to see that tho roller-coaster has struck the popular fancy. In fact, the merry-go-round and other amuse- ments have been temporarily eclipsed. all though they will come back into favor, no doubt"

New Jersey Justice.

Three negroes in New Jersey com mitted atrocious assaults upon white woman, and fled to Philadelphia The rest of the story is told by the Washington Times:
 'eTimbers, Sims. and Austin, the three prisoners, left Philadelphia at r2:15 o'clock, reaching Mount Holly at 1 oiclck. Five minutes later they-were in thelcourt room. Ten minutes afterfthat sentences of forty nine years apiece had been pronounced. At 1:aO o'clock they were on a train bound Tor Trenton, and at o'clock they were m prison serving their time"
 This is Jersey justice in, such cases. Mobs had no chance to form, the courts being more expeditions than the mob. The governor of the state, the county authorities, and the.trial court, each and all, co-operated to prevent Inc disgrace of lynch law within the state.
 The law of New Jersey Is wretched ly inadequate, providing for imprison ment of fifteen years only in cases oi assault. The prisoners in question were tried under four charges, ant thus were practically sentenced fo life. The feeling throughout the stat Is that the punishment does not fl the crime, and that the penalty attach Ing to the crime of assault should b increased.
 Throughout the course of the NeN Jersey cases there was vigilance am activity at every hand. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but the best of counse had been assigned to them, and thei lawyers looked over the evidence ant advised them to plead guilty. The. were protected and guarded from Phil adelphia to Mount Holly, the place o trial, and from Mount Holly to tn penitentiary at Trenton, where the will stay the rest of their days. A the New York Times says, "the gov ernors of the southern states and o some of the northern states as wei ran study to advantage the cours followed in New Jersey"

Church and State in France.

Scarcely any event is of deeper in- terest than the threatened breaking of the concordat, or treaty, between the Vatican and France, regulating the relations of church and state in that republic. The treaty has stood ulnce 1S01 Napoleon was the first cdpsul, and he was preparing to take o9&r and to undo the republic of the French revolution. The concordat has withstood all intervening changes in France down to the days of Premier Combes, and now it seems marked to go.
 The concordat gives France the power to name bishops to be confirmed by the pope. French lawyers insist that the power to nominate implies the power to prevent removals, and this is the form of the question at present. As things look to the outside world the pope is more anxious to break the concordat than is the gov. ernment of France. He has ordered eight French bishops of republican sympathies to report to Rome, and Premier Combes has ordered them to stay in France. They receive their salaries from the French government and they are staying at home. Should the Vatican take away their episcopal powers, the concordat would be con sidered broken by the French govern ment, and the people of France, all of whom are Catholics, would be put of touch witt Rome's diplomatic policy.
 Cardinal Merry del Val has charge of the foreign relations of the. Vatican, and he either is attempting to render Premier Combes unpopular in France, pr else he desires a separation of church and state in that country. At present 1t is difficult to say what his desire and policy is. In standing by the home clery Premier Combes will probably strengthen himself, although 1t is we'll known that he desires tc break the concordat, and is general, unfriendly to the pope. Between tho reactionary tendencies of the Vatican

Medicine and Law.

A lawyer and doctor were discussing the merits of their respective callings. Both had reached point where they were apt to say more than they intended. Re- marked the lawyer
 Well, to my way of thinking you doc tors are set of humbugs. You look at a mans tongue and charge him $2, $3 or even $5i you never do a patient any good, and l have lived twenty years without consulting one of your tribe. The last doctor I called treated me for about six months, charged me $500 and 1 never could see what good he did me- After that l swore off on the doctor question and have not called in-enother since A stiff drink of whisky is medicine enough for me when l feel out of sorts, and few doses of liver medicine when needed have kept me as sound as a dollar. never yet saw a doctor who was not more intent on collecting his fee than he was on effecting a cure"
 The doctor answered.
 If you were to get your foot cut off by trolley car and were bleeding to utdLh hio | Ntul OulI put ny nnBeT On the artry, stopped the flow of blood, ann putated your limb and put you on the road to recovery. would not that be do- ing something for your"
 "Oh well, that's an extreme case" an- swered the lawyer.
 'lf you were to fill up your stomach with a lot of rubbish one night, wake up with a cramp collie and 1 came along with an hypodermic injection and gave you relief after hours of agony, would not that be doing something for you?"
 That's another extreme case"
 We'll" extreme cases are the only kind of cases we have anything to do with I'll tell you what think about your pro- fesslon I think it one of the most de- spicable that a man can follow While you are haranguing a jury with tears in your eyes and your right hand raised to high heaven your left is robbing your client.

 Just then the lawyer spied his car and departed hastily.

The Paramount Issue.

From the Mobile Register.
 The chief issue between the republicans and the democrats is declared by MT. Bryan 10 be 'imperlalsm.' This is misleading title because many persons translate imperialism in a narrow sense as meaning the attitude of our government toward the Philippines. Im- perialism in that sense is not the para mount issue in this campaign. The actual issue the paramount one, is not new It has existed since the beginning be- tween the republicans and the democrats It is imperialism in it's broad sense-the rule of the few as against the rule of the many-monarchy versus democracy.
