AIabama's Pension Fund.

FAe Confederate pension fund in this state Is far below Georgia's fine aggregate, although it has been in- creased over that of the previous year nearly one-third. Sixteen thousand three hundred veterans will this year receive s359 1908. Those In the fourth class will each be entitled to $22.79, while those in the first class will each be paid $45.6o. These sums will be increased next year, and perhaps the next legislature may find way to en- able Alabama to be as generous to her old soldiers as Georgia is to Georgians.
 The fourth class numbers 15,051, and 1t was increased this year by the addition of 1077 names. Every county Is represented. Jefferson has 729 names on the pension roll Washing ton on the other hand has but 40. The average number from a county Is about 200. In a short time there will be a sad falling away in these num- bers, and If the pension fund be main tained, as no doubt it will be, the sur viving veterans of the great struggle for independence will be pretty we'll cared for. This Is as 1t should be. The fund is divided among the sur vivors, and no fixed sum is paid, as is the case in federal pensions. Let the sum be maintained to the end that each and every survivor shall draw from it a sum that will render his last days comfortable. He will at least know that his own state appreciates his efforts in hor defense in the days of trial and war.

Stocks in Wall Street.

Transactions in Wall street have risen to nearly two million shares a day, and the lambs are coming in in carload lots. It is bull market, and a bull market we'll maintained attracts outsiders, who generally buy at or towards the top.
 A great boom In stocks has been in progress several weeks, and it is now becoming excited or acute. It is not uncommon to see shares marked up five or more points in a single day. The present stirring speculative activ- ity is based on large crops and large production of gold. Credit has been strengthened in many directions, and business men are everywhere regain ing the courage of four years ago. The presidential campaign is so quiet and apathetic that it does not interfere with business, and there is no great contest between labor and capital pending. In short, all conditions are favorable to trade activity and even to speculation, which is an evil that invariably accompanies activity and prosperity.
 Our exports of merchandise-manu. factured goods-are exceptionally large, making good no doubt what we will lose in the export of wheat on account of a shortage in the crop Cot ton exports, too, are heavy. Between merchandise exports and cotton ex- ports, no doubt the balance of trade will be largely favorable in the pres ent fiscal year. Imports of merchan- dize are increasing, but the rate of in- crease is reasonable. Railroad gross earnings, too, are increasing, and so are bank clearings. Call money has not been materially changed It com mands but low rates. All these things point to activity and even speculation, and the only danger is that the pace may become too fast for safety and long continuance. If outsiders would

HEREAFTER,

By Harriet Prescott Spofford Love, when all these years are silent, van ished quite and laid to rest, When you and l are sleeping, folded breathless breast to breast,
 When no morrow is before us,
 And the long grass losses OCT us, And our grave remains forgotten, or by alien footsteps pressed Still that love of ours will finger, that great love enrich the earth, Sunshine in the heavenly azure, breezes blowing joyous mirth;
 Fragrance flaming off from flowers,
 Melody of summer showers, Sparkle of the spicy wood fires round the happy autumn hearth. That's our love. But you and I dear shall we finger with it yet, Mingled in one dewdrop, tangled in one sunbeams golden net
 On the violets purple bosom.
 I the sheen. but you the blossom, Stream on sunset winds and be the haze with which some hill is wet? Or, beloved-if ascending-when we have endowed the world With the best bloom of our being, whither will our way be whirled
 Through what vast and starry spaces,
 Toward what awful holp places With a white light on our faces, spirit over spirit furled? Only this our yearning answers-Where- soever that way defile, Not a film shall part us through the aeons of that mighty while
 In the fair eternal weather,
 Even as phantoms still together, Floating, floating, one forever, in the light of Gods great smile!

The Cost of Empire.
New York orld.

From the New York world
 The fact that Judge Parker persists in saying that the Philippines have cost us s67O, OOOOOO, instead of accepting MT. Tafts assertion that they had cost only $l69OOO,OOO up to May. 1902. enrages the Roosevelt organs. They say that MT. Taft "of all men now living Is most com potent to instruct Judge Parker concern ing American relations to the Philip ic candidate is impudent or dishonest in ignoring his authority.
 All of which Is palpable nonsense. Judge Taft knows all about some things In the Philippines, but as to the financial oper- ations of the United States government he knows no more than anybody else who has access to the figures which are open to all.
 The whole question Is matter of opin- ion. In the six years preceding the Span ish war our war and navy departments spent $4S3,609 692. m the five years and ten months from September 1, 1898, when the fighting with Spain was all over and the Philippine troubles were beginning, to July l, 19O4 those departments cost us $1,214 100,339-an increase of $730, 490, ,647. It is open to MT Taft to say that we should have squandered nearly as much on militia ry and naval imitation if we had not been engaged in an imperial venture in Asia. It is open to other to say that we should not

NATIONAL POLITICS.

le Florida Times-Union.

From the Florida Times-Union.
 When the democratic convention nomi- hated Henry G. Davis for vice-president the republicans made merry over his age, and even many democrats feared that the convention had made a mistake in nomi- hating so old a man. But the republicans have nothing to laugh about now, and the democrats nothing to fear. MT. Davis has been in the world a long time, but his vigor and energy show that he has much longer to stay
 Lives are not of equal length./ Some minds and bodies are wound up to run long, others will soon run down. Men would count age from the end of life rather than from the beginning If they could know when the life would end. A man who has twenty years to live is younger than one who has only ten, though he may have already lived twice as many years.
 In the campaign in which he Is now en- gagged Senator Davis is showing unusual vigor both of mind and body. Twenty five speeches in two days would consti- tute severe test of physical endurance for young man. If in addition to the number the speeches of the day were good they would show the successful passing of a severe mental test also
 Mir Davis not only shows vigor of mind and body, but his speeches also display in him that quality that is termed per | sonal magnetism-a quality that comes from the heart and attracts hearts. His speeches are taking well and we believe they will bear fruit.

Great business must be wrought ere
Export of Cotton.

In. September 41o,940,894 pounds of raw cotton, valued at s43,742,925, were exported. This is a new record, and 1t Is a record far beyond that of any other month in our entire history. The next highest is September, 1902, when cotton to the value of $29,93O,S15 was exported. The cotton sent out in the latter month amounted to 347596,1oO pounds. The September of the pres ent year has therefore distanced so to speak all other months.
 Great Britain took over half of last months exports, but all European mills are stocking up. and the move ment has by no means run it's course. The managers Of those mills do not think, it is plain, that the present crop Is abnormally large, and they are therefore buying freely. British and continental spinners hold information no doubt bearing against a twelve million-bale crop. Otherwise they would not buy all the cotton they can get their hands on.
 American mills seem to have adopt ed a waiting attitude to some extent, but the chances are that they will have to pay higher prices for raw cot ton later on, and will thus be unable to compete on good terms with the foreign mills in contested markets like those of China.

Impeachment of Sheriff Rodgers.

Sheriff Rodgers of Huntsville has been duly and formally summoned to appear before the supreme court to show cause why he should not be inn peached fc- neglect of duty in permit ting the lynehing of Horace Naples on September 2. If he be tried by the supreme court on Impeachment pro- ceedings the whole truth of the Hunts vile lynching will be brought out and properly weighed and sifted. The framers of the constitution of 1901 acted wisely when they committed i'm peachment trials of sheriffs to the supreme court.
 Although no statute renders plain the course of proceed Ire under the con stitutional provision, yet no doubt it will be held Iy the supreme court that the provision is self-executing, and that the court is authorized to try officers against whom an impeachment has been brought. The entire case will, however, be historic and full of authority in the future.
 q had rather" said the Rev. Frank P. Culver recently in his Huntsville pulpit, be plain, honest Joe Folk than any of his luxurious and rich traduc- CTS; l had rather be Paul Speake than a thousand of those who islander him for trying to do his duty" No doubt there are lawless people in Huntsville, but MT. Culyer's own position shows that the better people of that pro- gressive town are not anarchists. The action of the Huntsville Commercial club is further evidence that the bet ter sentiment ot Huntsville is sound and just when law and order are at stake.
 No one can blame Huntsville as whole. It is endeavoring to overcome a disgraceful scene enacted at the jail of Madison county. All has been done that could be done, and if the supreme court tries Sheriff Rodgers all may rest assured that the whole truth will be brought out and justice done.

although it has been lessened by the two months of dry weather.
 What we have lost in the directions mentioned has perhaps been made good by the rapid opening of cotton and the favorable weather for picking and ginning 1t. Director Chaffee Of the Montgomery weather bureau says picking is progressing rapidly in the rol thern part of this state; in the middle section three-fourths of the crop IS picked, and in the southern counties picking is nearly finished. The crop will be up to normal, but will not exceed it, there being no top crop in this state.
 he condition of the streams Is rendering water scarce in wells and springs; is hindering navigation, and is proving a st tree of loss to mary mills, especially in the timbered coua ties. Logs cannot be floated to the mills. A month more of dry weather would mean no small loss to this state. but month more of rainless weather is improbable. Rains are falling in other portions of the cotton belt, and no doubt Alabama will get her share of moisture soon.

s. H. HARDWICK ADDRESSES
 GEN'L PASSENGER AGENTS

are charged with great responsibilities, having many anxleties and perplexities. The importance of this work can hardly he overestimated, when we consider that for the fiscal year referred to, in the United States alone there were transport ed by the railways total of nearly 695,- 1000 passengers, an increase of 45, ,OO0,0OO passengers as compared with the preced- ing year. showing in this way an aver age number of more than eight journeys a year for each of the So,OOo0OO of inhabi- tants of this country. Each one of these 695 900 passengers, as a living human , being, must be considered individually, and so each must represent some part of work of the passenger and ticket man."
 MT. Hardwick closed his address as fol- lows:
 'If in the years to come. 1t shall be decreed that this en- North American continent is to be united into one great state, so that the Dominion of Canada and the Republic of Mexico. and our own United States shall then all three be under one flag. may we not hope that this American association of general pas senger and ticket agents shall have no small part in so great consummation and that out of our work as passenger men and our brotherhood larger and even more glorious results shall issue" "I am sure that the men in no other department of railroad service are as fortunate as we in our personal relations and associations We are as one brother hood united and devoted No other pro- a far I lyant has such an association as ours, and none other has such matern from which to make such an association
 This apparent apotheosis of the passen- ger man is not offered as an empty com pliment. as I would not impugn your intelligence by such an attempt. but the story is told in all sincerity, and given as note of encouragement for every pas senger men to press forward not in a spir- 1t of boosting, nor of controversy, but simply in a spirit of commendable emula- ton.
 My friends thank you for thus ac- cording to me the honor of speaking in this plain exposition of the passenger man and his work. which anonymously is approbation. That l have done this but feebly and inadequately I am quite well aware. but that have done so de- votedly, I am equally well persuaded.
 And, yet after al known, in all humility. that the passenger man Is not a perfect man. Ala-. perhaps. no more so than his critics. But the passenger man, while believing in himself, believes first and firmly in the fatherhood of God, and next in the brotherhood of man. Cicero says:
 They seem to take away the sun from the world who withdraw friendship from life; for we have received nothing better from the immortal gods, nothing more delightful
 Let us be worthy of our work and our association Ultimate achievement awaits only those who faithfully and rightly endeavor."

Highland Avenue Pavement,

Highland avenue Is to be paved, partially with creosoted wooden blocks and partially with bituminous mac adam. So decided the board of alder men, after hearing property owners, last night; and in so doing the city administration reflects credit upon itself and does great good to the city.
 Now that this most attractive ave- nue of Birmingham is to be paved let the city officials see to it that the work Is well done. Inspectors should be appointed to watch every detail of 1t and make this beautiful avenue the most perfectly paved In the south.
