ENJOYED the Encampment.

II think the people Of Birmingham are
sorry to see the state troops leave for
their homes" said business man last
night. THE past week has been ex-
ceedingly gay in social circles. and the
presence of so many soldiers in town
has done much to enliven public gather
ings. Camp Jeks has been an attractive
spot for a large number of visitors, many
of them young ladies'. who have enjoyed
taste of camp life as the guests of SOL
der friends, while the drills and parades
have drawn crowds every day.
Il dare say that the encampment which
closes today has been one of the most
pleasant yet held by the Alabama Ma
tional Guard Good order has been main
tanned. the troops have had flne time,
and there was plenty to eat, great desid-
eratum at all encampments of volunteers.
The people of Birmingham have extended
every courtesy to the visitors, and all
together their stay here has been very
pleasant.
THE soldiers have been SO lively and
full of life that the town will be rather
dull for a few days. dare say that the
young ladies of Birmingham would not
mind If there were an encar lpment dur
ing a large part of the year"

be Now York World.

From the New York World.
If Senator German will accept the chair
manship of the national committee there
Is no doubt that his election will best sub
serve the interests of the democratic
party and of Judge Parker.
OF all the men named, Senator German
alone has that knowledge of national poll
itlcs In its broadcast sense which is so
necessary to the intelligent direction of a
presidential campaign. He not only
knows public questions and issues. but he
has a very wide and intimate acquain-
lance with public men In all parts of the
union. He is an experienced politician
and party manager. His conduct of the
Cleveland campaign in 1884 was signally
able and successful.
MIR. Sheehan has shown himself to be a
serviceable friend of Judge Parker. His
instant rejection of Mr. Hills advice to
suppress the famous telegram from Judge
Parker was not only proof of loyalty to
his friend, but of high political sagacity.
| But Mr.. Sheehan has serious limitations
lie has had little experience in national
politics or affairs He is essentially a
| New York politician, and this is very
broad country. He has never shown by
any public utterance such knowledge of
| the underlying principles of democracy
and sucT keen appreciation Of the liv-
| ing issues of this campaign as should
| be a part of the equipment of the man
who Is to direct the national battle.
| These tests apply with equal force to
| Mr.. Taggart, substituting Indiana for
| New York. He is essentially local poll
tician The national craftsmanship re-
| ouires BREADTH insight, knowledge and
experience, which Senator German pos
sesses in a marked degree.
The World has differed sharply with
him in the past, but 1t has not failed to
note his development Of intellectual force.
and 1t believes in Carlyles maxim. THE
tools to him who can use them" For
the good of the party and its candidate.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. German can
be induced to, accept the Craftsmanship
even at the sacrifice of his personal in
clinations and comfort.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES
BIRMINGHAM Day Favored.

1.-The proposition to substitute Blrmfng-
ham day for Alabama day at the fair
should meet with general favor, and as
for me, strongly endorse the movement"
said a well known lawyer who takes an
interest in public affairs. 1T would be a
discredit to the state not to have some
kind Of day observed at the exposition.
We have already been very negligent in
not providing state exhibit, and 1
think the least we can do Is to have a
big Birmingham day that will not only
advertise this town far and wide but
will convince the country that Alabama
still has plenty of public spirit.
1T would cause little expense and
practically no trouble to observe Biz
mingham day. If the people of the city
will exert themselves we can make it
quite success. The business men of
Birmingham have already done them
selves proud by sending Vulcan to ST.
Louis, and If they will unite in booming
Birmingham day they will never regret
the time or the money devoted to the
project"

Railroads Are Prosperous.

Affairs In the business world are
not booming just at present, but after
all only six railroad receivers were

endar year, and their Jurisdiction COW
ers but 302 miles of rails. All told
less than one thousand miles, out of
100000 miles in this country, are in
the hands OF receivers.
The record shows that the trans
portation business on the steam rail-
ways of the country is still prosperous,
and this of course means that plenty
of PRODUCT and buying and selling is
still going on. The railroads are the
first to feel any depression, and they
have buciness enough at least to keep
out of the hands of receivers.
The steam railways are beginning
in some sections of the country to
find competition In electric railways
The latter are beginning to carry
freight as well as passengers. Some Of
.Aem are using sleeping cars, and
many believe the use of electricity
generated by water power will soor
become feature of the national rail
way service.
However this may be, the steam
railways despite all competition ant
depression, are doing well, and the
six small roads that were handed
over to receivers in the first half OF
HE present year would have gone into
bankruptcy even in boom times.

The sock Market.

Henry Clews in his Saturday circular
saws: Stocks have shown exceptional
strength during the past week, owing
largely to the strong support of big in
s,ders. whose operations were undoubted-
" influenced by good crop reports, easy
money and the consequent better feeling
in business circles. 1t is worth while,
however, stopping for a moment to con-
slider the extent of the advance.
..,rhe active stocks have all risen, 10 to
IL points above the low prices of this
vear. and some have scored considerably
larger advances. Not few stocks are
ut the highest point of the year; and, if
the comparisons be made with the low
prices of 1903, the advances are still more
striking. This brings us to the question,
Has the rise yet reached the danger
mark? SO far as legitimate influences are
concerned it seems as IL the advance had
been almost sufficient. Good crops and
hotter business have been for the pres
emf fairly discounted, especially as both
are still In the realm of expectation, and
realization remains a matter of two or
three months. 1t seems the part of pru-
dence. therefore, to begin to exercise some
caution in hereafter following the upward
movement. What would happen in case
of serious reverses to either corn or cot
ton? Neither is yet out of danger"

by the sea and, doubtless had been life
