 With or without serappsrs of any sort or kind, Birmingham is going ahead. The selfish will be cast aside and the progressive. energetic and business-like man or set of men-indvldual or cor roration-will prevail in this community. We are an up-to-date and progressive community Neither the drone nor the dissatisfied has place here. Get out! Bir- ningham moves.
 There Is hope in national politics for the democrats. Senator German is at headquarters in New York endeavoring to adjust differences and to get things down to a. practical basis. He is not in charge, but is merely advisory. If he can get things in shape the democrats will have fair chance of success.
 Up to date. things have been in bad shape at headquarters. The alleged leaders have been serapping among them- selves. Tom Taggart of Indiana was put In charge by the democratic national committee. This committee so voted unanimously. But little MT. Billie Shee- han of New York, by virtue of his per- sonal acquaintance with Judge Parker  has assumed to stand before the foot lights of publicity as the real leader and manager; and August Belmont has like wise assumed imperial powers in direct. 1 ing the campaign because of his work ir l bringing about the nomination of Judge Parker. Belmont spends his money fiber. ally, but he is no politician, The old line party leaders like Senator Gorman ex- Senator Smith of New Jersey and ex Senator Hill of New York, who know national politics, are disgusted with th' petty cavortings of these amateur poli tieians and for the good of the party i
 is hoped they will assume charge
 As things now stand many monied mer who indicated desire to contribute tt the democratic national campaign funt have failed to do so because of the bick erings which have been going on amoni the alleged leaders at headquarters il New York. Many are willing to con tribute to elect Judge Parker, but the. are not willing to contribute unless the.

"The Knights Templar conclave in San Francisco was brilliant affair."" said w. O. Snyder, past eminent commander of Cyrene commandery No. 10 of Bir- mingham. "The Alabama Knights made very good appearance in the parade had attended two conclaves before that years ago and the one in Louisville three years ago. The San Francisco was larger than that held in either of the other cities named.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 It's funny that taking your liquor straight should make you feel all the more crooked.
 A woman has hard time convincing herself of all the things she convnces her husband.
 When a man has to support his grown up son his mother says he has an artistic temperament
 A girl can always confirm her suspi- cions of man by being in a room with him when the lights go out.
 It's funny how anybody can judge how much better it is for his health to be out in the free air at the races than to be shut up in stuffy church.

A TlckIish Question.

From the Prattville Progress. E The State Grange of Pennsylvania has earned the bitter hatred of every repub- lican congressional candidate and his packers. The grange has asked each one of them this question: 'Will you, if elect ed, assist in passing legislation which will enable American citizens to buy American products as cheaply at home as they are sold abroad? Such question is calcu- lated to induce nervous prostration when put to republican congressional candi- date

The New Abbott.

The ringing of the bell in the tower of St. Bernard monastery yesterday announced to the people of Cullman that the election of the Right Rev. Bernard Monges, o. s. B., as abbot had been ap- proved by Pope Plus x. The letter of confirmation was sent from Rome to the Right Rev. Peter Engel, O. s. B., presi- dent of St. Johns university in Minnesota, and was transmitted by him to the prior of St. Bernard. The new abbot takes charge at once although the blessing may be postponed for some time.

know that the campaign committee Is to have a head.
 If Senator German can straighten out matters among the ambitious young men and map out plan of campaign. ample money will be forthcoming for expenses, and the democratic candidate should win.
 As a matter of fact, Senator German Is the ablest campaign manager in either party If he puts his shoulder to the wheel, and takes charge, Judge Parker will be elected. But as 1t has been for the past several weeks, the conduct of the alleged leaders has undoubtedly placed the democratic candidate in the second division of the running. The mayoralty contest In Birmingham promises to be an interesting fight. The candidates are numerous and several of them seem to be playing the game of politics. The city committee apparently does not know what 1t wants to do. Some want the man who gets the highest vote declared the nominee; and others want the highest two to run it over. The pub lie don't much care which plan is adopt ed, but 1t does want a mayor who will take vigorous control of city affairs, get It's finances in shape and push street 1 improvements. As matter of fact Bir- mlngham is the poorest paved city in ] the south. We need better streets and we need them at once. We need mayor and board of aldermen who will have them regardless of criticism.
 The city government has been wian- gllng over the paving of Fifth avenue and Highland avenue for many months. Neither street is yet paved becaure of 1 the fact that whatever paving Is sug gested a certain class of residents ob- ject This will always be the case. It is therefore the duty of the city officials to decide upon the best and most available paving and proceed to have the worK done There will be kickers, however, any way they decide, but there are more who protest against doing nothing. The thing to do is to pave every well built up street in Birmingham and to do it at once.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Waking Up.

From the Virginian-Pllot.
 The dispatches indicate that Judge Parker and the national leaders of the party realize the necessity of putting more ginger into the campaign. It Is inti- mated that Judge Parker, Grover Cleve- land and William J. Bryan will make speeches in doubtful states.
 This is a good omen. The democrats can win this year only by vigorous campaign. Desultory firing will not suf- flee. It must be fight straight from the shoulder and with no giving away anywhere along the line.
 This, 1t seems, Judge Parker and the national committee now realize. and more life and vim may be expected from this time forward.
 Judge Parker is at bottom a man of fine common sense and excellent politi- cal judgment and he has probably real ized that a front porch campaign is not the most effective that caa be made this year.

Maine.

From the Baltimore Herald
 Complete returns from Maine show the largest democratic gains in years. In Senator Frye's own county a democratic senator was elected. The democrats gained three state senators and ten mem bers in the lower branch of the legisla- ture.
 We do not put much faith in pro- phetic value of these state contests but we do admire the serene and ingenious confidence of those republicans who fig ure out democratic snowstorms in No yember from their own September frosts

herds in the distance and stout farm hands who were interested in the pro ceedings that they merely grasped the judges hand and let it go at that with out stopping to consider whether he was proficient in the art or needed training. Now these doubts have been dissipated into thin air. Judge Parker shakes hands as hands ought to be shaken and if he is elected he will probably have a wide ex- thusiastic countrymen.
 While there is surcease of hostilities in the far east correspondents will have time to patch up their clothes transfer the mud from their persons to the sur rounding plains and indulge in three square meals a day for change. It is hardly probable, however, that anybody will feel inclined to revert back to the tame amusement of golf or ping pong. The game of war Is about the most ex- citing sport that we can enjoy in this advanced age.

 About once a week J. Pierpont Morgan has a narrow escape from death and it really seems that fate has grudge against the fnancier which promises to prove more disastrous than the combined fire of the democratic cartoonists. At one time he is nearly drowned In his launch, at another he is in danger of being run down by trolley car and again he comes within an ace of being swamped by an ocean liner. But these little inconven- fences are not to be compared with the discomfort of having numerous bomb throwers encamped upon his trail, and J. Pierpont may congratulate himself that he is reasonably free from anarch- ists. PAUL COOK.

That InsoIent Rhode Island Ring.

From the New York World.
 The governor of Rhode Island. elected by a majority of the voters of the state, called the legislature, elected by min ority, in extra session to submit to the people certain constitutional amendments designed to introduce something resem- bling democratic government. The legisla- ture passed a resolution condemning the governors action and contemptuously ad- journed on the same day without further action.
 In less than two months the people of Rhode Island will have a chance to tell the ruling ring at the polls how they en- joy being first deprived of the right of self-government and then insulted. They have at least the privilege of choosing their own Presidential electors.
