Spirit of Unity Needed,

Birmingham needs only one thing on earth to beat the best town in the south" said Eugene Jacobs of Birmingham to a Constitution reporter while in Atlanta re- gently. That one thing is Atlantas spirit of unity. Over there we have everything Atlanta has and more, too in many ways. But when it comes to getting together like the people here in Atlanta do, 1t seems out of the question Still there is not resident of the city of Birmingham who does not love that town, just like all At lantans love Atlanta. Birmingham is to- day one of the most progressive and suc- cessful towns in the south. Within her limits are to be found everything needed to show a growing city. The people are all wideawake, energetic and progressive. They all swear by Birmingham, and are ever ready to do what they can to push the city along. The business men are a unit in anything that may result in good to Birmingham. No city of the south has better equipped or more successful busi- ness men than has Birmingham, and when once they get together there will be no city in the south In advance of the Magic City. See if what have said doesn't come true. It won't take long watch, either, to demonstrate that fact

Mrs. Florence Maybrick.

Mrs. Maybrick was born in Mobile, and her early years were spent in this state. Her native state has ever been a loyal believer in her innocence. No one here relieves she killed her Eng fish husband with doses of arsenic. He was a confirmed arsenic eater, and his brothers in England and the Eng fish judge who presided at the trial who afterwards went crazy-leaned heavily against her, and her conviction took place at that judges dictation.
 All the Englishmen in the world cannot induce tAe people of Alabama to consider Mrs. Maybricl; guilty. She stands fully acquitted where she was born, and all reJoice in the freedom she has at length secured at tardy English hands. She may never return to Alabama. Her mother lives in France, and her property does not lie in this state. Bus wherever she lives she should know anu feel that Ala bama is true to her, believing in her innocence, and rejoicing in her free dom.
 The case has aroused a great deal of interest throughout the civilized world, there being ia many countries many persons who had become con- vinced that Sir Fitzjames Stephens charge, covering two days, was due more to paresis than to the evidence. British prejudice entered into the case, but British clemency has at length partially atoned for the unjust charge of the English judge, and perhaps we should say "All's wei that ends we'll" even if she had been compelled to serve fourteen years in a British prison

convicts in No. 3 Mine.

The action of Governor Cunningham and the convict board places the em- ployment of convicts in No. mine at the discretion of the parties to the present disagreement touching the wage scale, for as soon as a scale is signed all the state convicts must be removed from No. 3, including the 150 eonvicts tor which the Tennessee company pays the state "so much per class" The other state convicts in Tennessee mines are on tonnage basis.
 Governor Cunningham very properly says the state has duties towards free labor. He distinctly says that convicts should not be placed in a free-labor mine, when free labor Is available, un- less indeed moro money can in that way be turned into the treasury. It is not claimed that more public money can be earned ly the convicts in No. 8 than in No. minc.
 Neither the Tennessee company nor any other company should be permit ted to work 4ree labor and convict labor in one mine No such degrada- ation should be imposed upon free men. They should not even be asked to work sido by side. No such combin- ation should be permitted in this state. Nor should county convicts be housed or worked with state convicts. The latter as Q rule are hardened crim- inals, while the former are not.
 The determinations of the acting governor and of the ocnvict board are in the right direction. The working of convicts is to bo minimized so far as free labor is concerned, and in no way will the former be permitted to trench upon the superior rights of the latter. Whenever the pending troubles be- tween the operators and miners are adjusted, al convicts must leave No. 3, and they will not be permitted to return to that mine. However, the Case be viewed, thls decision is right.

Glance at Possibilities.
0 Boston Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller.
 We are not surprised that the republican leaders are showing unmistakable rigns of panic. The. confident feeling that ap- peared to rule before the democratic con- ventlon appears to have taken wings to itself and flown away. The campaign plans are being reconstructed, it is an- nounced and herculean efforts are to be put forth in an effort to save the day.
 The republicans had counted noses too early. They relied upon New York, Indi- ana, New Jersey and Connecticut as prac- tically sure for their candidates, but the firm stand taken by Judge Parker on the monetary question has swept these five states into the extremely doubtful column. Before the Parker nomination Maryland and West Virginia, with their fifteen cleo toral votes, were placed in the doubt full column. The republicans now con- cede these states to Parker.
 New Jersey, three times carried by Gro yer Cleveland, is regarded as pretty safe of Connecticut. This situation presents this apportionment of the states:
 emocratic-Alabama II, Arkansas g., Florida 5. Georgia 1s, Kentucky 13, Louisi- ana 9, Mississippi 10 Missouri IS, North Carolina 12, South Carolina 9, Tennessee 12. Texas IS, Virginia 12 Maryland 8. West Virginia T. Colorado 5. Idaho 3, Nevada B; total IF.
 Republlcan-California 10, Delaware g.. Iowa 13, Kansas 10 Maine 6, Massachu- setts 16, Michigan IA, Minnesota Il, Mon- tana 8, Nebraska S. New Hampshire 4, Ohio 23, Oregon f. Pennsylvania 34, Rhode Island 4, South Dakota 4, Utah 3, Yer mont 1, Washington 5. Wyoming 8, North Dakota A. total 1s6.
 In Doubt-Connecticut ', New York ss. Illinois 27. Indiana 15, Wisconsin IS, New Jersey v; total 113
 Of the 4T6 members of the electoral col lege the winning candidate must have the votes of 239. On this basis 1t will be seen that the democrats are in magnificent po- sition for victory. It is of interest in this connection to recall former votes In 1880 Garfield had 214 electoral votes against 155 for Hancock; in 1884 Cleveland re- ceived 219, Blaine 1S2; Cleveland in 1888 re- ceived 16S votes, Harrison 23S; Cleveland in 1892 received 277 votes against 145 for Harrison Mckinley received 2n in 1896 while Bryan had 176. In 1900 McKinley's vote was 292 and Bryans 155. Tilden car ried New York in 1876 and Cleveland car ried 1t in 1884 and in 1892. Wisconsin, Illi- nois and Indiana went democratic in 1892. But greatest of all signs is that which lies from republican dissatisfaction with President Roosevelt and the enthusiasm which Judge Parker, by his own stalwart- ress, has aroused

possible at home or from abroad, save on the trusts own terms.
 Every strong trust is based on Ding leyism. and the two working in har- mony constitute tho finest example of a public and private monopoly that the world has ever witnessed. They can work the consumer ad libitum. The consumer could have been squeezed by the meat trust to fin- ish, but in November he would have had an opportunity to protest and that opportunity no doubt operated to induce the meat trust to loosen It's tight grip on the people by referring all subjects in dispute to arbitration. But to the last the trust was firm. IL knew Dingleyism was behind it, and il refused to take back the strikers except in it's own way. A November protest is none the less wise and need ful against further and other strikes on the part of Dingleyized monopolies.

Put German at the Head.

From the Savannah Press.
 The reports from the conference at New York indicate a strong desire on the part of the leaders of democracy for sena- tor German to assume charge of the cam paign. There is so much bicKerfng among the New York politicians. so much Ill., feeling among them, that to utilize the services of one of them as chairman of the national committee would apparently be the means of arouslng the ire of the others and leading either 10 secret op- position or dangerous apathy. Political prudence seems to indicate the absolute necessity of going out of that state for a leader for the campaign.
 German has been national figure for so many years, is well recognized as an astute politician, and is, furthermore from a state that is now democratic be- yond a question The party at large will be well suited with his selection. He is allied with none of the factions, either in New York or any other state, and his choice can give offense to no democrats of prominence Expedieney would seem to make his selection not only advisable but necessary. It is recognized that much depends upon the selection of the cam palgn manager. Surely there could be no mistake made in the choice of Cor man, the equal of any political leader of the opposition.

Joe Folks Victory.

The unanimous nomination of Joseph w. Folk for governor of Missouri will be felt in every state, for nearly every American state contains bood- lers and grafters. Every large Ameri- can city has them. MT. Folks victory is notice to all boodlers to reform, or at least to do now and then a public act from honest motives.
 The honors bestowed on Prosecutor Jerome of New York, Prosecutor De neen of Chicago and Prosecutor Folk of St. Louis are splendid examples that will go far towards checking the great American vice-corruption in public affairs. If he highest honors that the people can bestow could be reserved for those who hunt down boodlers, as MT. Folk has done, we would soon have better state of things in this country.

No Lonuer an Issue.

Judge Parker was eminently right whom he saiu in his famous telegram that tho gold standard had been ir- revocably established It is no longer an issue. Gold production and the laws of the country have placed the entire question on the shelf. and no one, not even MT. Bryan in the White House, could do otherwise than maintain the gold standard. The law of March IA, 1900 provides that "the dollar consist ing of twenty-five and eight-tenths of gold nine-teaths fine, as established by section 3511 O. the revised statutes of the United States, shall be the stand ard of yalus; and all forms of money issued or coined by the United States shall be maintained at parity of value with this standard; and it shall be the duty of tho secretary of the treasury to maintain such parity"
 Could law be more explicit or com. prehensive? In view of the immense production of gold, adding to our stock annually $80,000,O00, no one proposes to repeal this law, not even MT. Bryan. To render assurance double sure the law of 1900 further provides, as fol- lows:
 In order to secure the prompt and cer- tain redemption of such notes as are here ' In provided CUnted States notes-"green- haeks"-and treasury notes issued under the act of July IA. 1S90) 1t shall be the duty of the secretary of the treasury to set apart in the treasury a reserve fund of one hundred and fifty million dollars In gold coin and bullion, which fund shall be used for such redemption purposes on- ly; and whenever and as often as any of said notes shall be redeemed from said fund, 1t shall be the duty of the secretary of the treasury to use said notes 80 redeemed to restore and maintain such reserve fund in the manner following, to wit: First, by exchanging the notes so re- deemed for any gold coin in the general fund of the treasury; second, by accept ing deposits of gold coin at the treasury or at any sub-treasury in exchange for the United States notes so redeemed; third, by procuring gold coin by the use of said notes, in accordance with the provisions of section thirty-seven hum dred of the revised statutes of the Uni ted States. If the secretary of the treas- ury Is unable to restore and maintain the gold coin in the reserve fund by the foregoing methods. and the amount of such gold coin and bullion in said fund shall at any time fall below one hum dred million dollars, then it shall be his duty to restore the same to the max imum sum of one hundred and fifty mill lion dollars by borrowing money on the credit of the United States"
 The once famous issue Is fire vocably" shelved, ana no one proposes to take 1t from the shelf The law and nature alike forbid. When Judge Parker therefore said that the gold standard had been irrevocably estab- lishet. he spoke within the law and the facts. and the issue is now ancient history only, having no relation to present affairs.

POLISHING A PIPE.

From the New York Commercial.
 "One of the fads of your dyed-in-the- wood pipesmoker Is to have dazzling polish on his pipe. and it's curious how he puts the gloss on," said a tobacco dealer up in Madison Square the other day.
 watch a veteran pipe smoker closely, and you see him occasionally rub the bowl of his pipe against his face, usual ly on each side of his nose. That's how he puts the polish On. The heat of the briar and the oil of the skin against which 1t is rubbed. work up a rich gloss. A smokers favorite pipe. you will find, has the sheen of rosewood. It takes months of rubbing to work up looking glass polish and the longer the practice Is indulged in the more shiny the pipe becomes I don't know who originated the idea, but all old smokers are on to 1t, and the pride they take in their polish ed pipes is amazing.

M
 1HE porch habit has become a fix (CV ture of the American political
 system. On his porch at Saga more Hill President Roosevelt is to well come the republican national committee next week and receive their notification of his nomination, prior to serving lun cheon on his lawn. e
 Judge Parker has already addressed his neighbors from the deep veranda of the old colonial mansion at Rosemount, and more significant deliverances may be ex- pected from that veranda later. A great deal of recent political history, indeed, has been made on the front doorstep. There Hobart said "gold'' with ringing emphasis in 1896 There Mckinley uttered that series of admirable little addresses that sounded so many keynotes in the same campaign. Garfield's front porch at Mentor and Harrisons at Indianapolis were the platforms on which the people got a more intimate view of their candi- dates and a new and larger impression of their facility and capacity.
 We like the doorstep habit better than almost any other feature of recent cam paigns Conventions may degenerate into hippodromes. It Is imposing. but rather theatrical. to bring a candidate from his own home and hire big hall in some great city, as was done here in Madison Square Garden in 1892 and 1896, to notify him of his nomination; 1t is making too obvious an attempt to capitalize at critical point the presence and personality of the standard bearer.
 The cart-tail habit Is a bit too popuiar' one does not care to have the man who soon may be his ruler subjected to the rude interruptions and the ruder caresses of the crowd The rear-platform habit with it's staccato speeches, it's hand-shak- ing and it's frenzied dashes across the continent, lacks dignity; 1t is too frankly a hunt for votes. The porch habit. on the contrary, is normal. dignified, appeal ing
 that. after all, is more democratic than the tumult and the shoutings on the rail- road siding. A delegation of citizens wishes to see the candidate of their party, and they find him at home. It is just little afternoon or evening call. With his household gods around him and the neighbors among whom he has grown up within hearing. the standard bearer of party is apt to talk like a sensible. clear-headed, patriotic. conservative citi- zen. It is the things he says to strange audiences--after he has got out of his own baliwick after the villagers along

A Lively Younaster.

From the Binghampton Press
 Ex-Senator Davis wants to do his share of the campaign work for the democracy but he says that he cannot agree to make more than six speeches at outside points. He will talk to those who may visit him from his porch, after the fashion made memorable by. the lamented Mckinley but he will not go cavorting around the country playing to one night stands and catching cold. The senator will be doing his duty nobly f he carries out his pro gramme, and adds to it, now and then, as the exigencies of the case require, little piece of paper with some nice little figures on 1t and his name at the bottom. Take him all In all, the senator will be about as lively a campaigner as the youngest boy of them all. He is the Grand Old Man of West Virginia and the huslxiest youngster of s1 that ever picked a bone with political rival

ORIGIN OF HELLO, BILL!v

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The phrase of greeting, Hello, Bill" which Is now in universal use among those who attend Elks' reunions. origi- hated in a singular way at the gathering in Minneapolis in 1897 A large number of the boys, not knowing all the visiting brother Elks by name, greeted them with the call, Hello. Bill" The phrase. soon spread, and at each subsequent reunion grew more general until now 1t is al- most exclusively used when an Elk does not know his brother by name.

DingIeyism and Meat.

Fortunately for us all the meat strike Is to be settled. by arbitration. We have escaped strong combina- tion, for trusts and Dingleyism go hand in hand, being birds of feather, vultures both. The meat trust, for ex- ample, Is forufied by duty of two cents a pound on fresh beef. Live cat tie are subject Co heavy duty. Live cattle cannot be driven in from Can ada, nor can fresh beef be brought in cold storage steamers from Argentina pr Australia or elsewhere. The tariff wall forbids. Even 4 the foreign ship per could have seen profit in pres ent prices, after paying a duty of two rtnts a pounL, he had no assurance that the strike would be maintained Ee could not have afforded to take he risk.
 The meat trust knows it is protect ed by the Dingley wall against for e.gn interference. It stood behind tariff law holding up all consumers. Dngleyism was In other words at- lacking the people in their stomachs. It rendered the hold-up of the meat combine easy and feasible. The trust possesses all home avenues and facll- ities of trade, and the Dingley tariff was trusted to do the rest. The hold rn was complete. and no relief was
