QualIs Are Numerous.

There are quails in abundance this year" said William M. Taylor of Cal houn county and the gunners will have some great sport this fall and winter On my place there are now something like twenty-five covies of cartridges and I have already had several requests to hunt on my plantation. ThA has been a very dry summer and consequently the birds had little difficulty in matching out their broods
 During freshets and continuous rains the partridge nests are ruined as these birds build their nests on the ground A partridge lays from 20 to 40 eggs, and if they hatch a majority of these eggs you can readily see what large covies will fur nish sport for the hunters. It is remark able the number of sportsmen who can not estimate the number of birds in covey. A person unused to hunting will become startled by the whir- of the birds and will believe that there are at least thirty or forty birds in the lot. As a mat ter of fact the average covey does not number over fourteen birds, though I have frequently seen as many as twenty-five birds together. Such eovies as this how ever, are rare. believe that there will be more birds this year than has been seen for the last decade"

IMMIGRANTS ELEECED
 BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE
From the New York Mail.

From the New York Mail.
 | WE are to judge from the instances
 brought to light in the newspapers, ' the newly arrived immigrants who come to grief in this city commonly owe their i'll fate to unprincipled feliow-coun- trymen rather than to men of other races who wish them i'll. In their ignorance and helplessness young men and women are betrayed, humiliated, fieeced and turned adrift, their venture into the new world defeated at a single stroke by people who come to them with the open sesame of their mother tongue. The ways of these expatriate cormorants used to figure in some of the little dramas of immi- grant conditions that were staged in the old German theatre. They constitute a phase of metropolitan life with which the native seldom comes in direct touch.
 It is almost a necessity of his aecli- matization that the raw immigrant shall be licked into shape by fellow-country- men who have preceded him and who take liberal toll for the rude introduction they give him into American ways. The Italian is exploited by a padrone the Greek renders tribute to a boss; the He- brew is underpaid by the clothing shop

REPUBLIC IRON AND STEEL.
Annual Report Will Comment a
 Length on oil Developments.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 It is admitted by representatives of the Republic Iron and Steel company that the annual report will contain great deal of matter bearing on the oil developments that are going on in the Indiana district. Very conflicting statements as to the in- come that Is now being received by the Republic from it's oil properties are com ing in While no official statement as to the income from the properties have been made as yet officials of the corporation talk enthusiastically on the subject. President Alexis w. Thompson says the company was never in better shape financially than at present. He claims that the suspension of dividends on the preferred stock and the income from the oil properties has materially strengthened the company.

Georoe Turner in washinuton.

If MT. Curtis of the Chicago Record Herald has gathered on the spot correct view of the situation in the state of Washington, MT. Roosevelt will carry the state, but the state ticket headed by George Turner, form erly a citizen and officeholder of Ala bama. will be elected by a plurality of at least 10000. MT. Turner has belonged to four parties in ten years. He is strong on the stump, however, and he is regarded in Washington as a man of ability and integrity The democrats are conducting the cam paign solely on state issues, of which they have a good stock on hand.
 The republican state ticket is con fessedly weak; the policy of that party in the state has been crooked, and altogether it looks as if WashiAgt on would elect a democratic governor. Charles E. Coon, the republican can didate for lieutenant governor, was formerly assistant secretary ot the treasury under John sherman. He left the national capital suddenly, and has ever since rested under charges. The charges re-appear in the present cam paign.
 L W. Goodwin, chairman of the state democratic central committee, openly comedies the election of the republican electoral ticket, but he claims with all possible confidence a plurality for the democratic state ticket. This state of things has not been brought about by George Turner, although he has abett- ed it, and he promises to be it's chief beneficiary. It is peculiar situation and the ex-marshal of Alabama will doubtless serve term as governor His term In the United States senate expired last year.

Easy Money During the Campaign.

The money in actual circulation has been increased $112,OOO, ,OOO since Jan uary 1. The national bank circula- ton is nearly $5O0,000,OO0, exceeding their circulation of any former pe- riod. The per capita circulation is one dollar above any record since the war
 The country does not need so much money, but the republican managers have induced the government and the bankers of the country to load the country up with money. It does not stay, however, where it is needed to move crops, but it is hurried to New York, where interest is earned on it.. The clearing house banks of New York held on September 1 $S43 900, 900 of deposits. This is where the surplus money goes. The deposits of the banks of the entire country hold 105 per cent more or depoSltS than they dtd ten years ago As natural and inevita ble result money on call in New York has been loaned as low as one-half oi one per cent, while the bankers of that city are paying on 1t at least two pc, cent.
 When politics and finance are inter mingled curious results are brought out, but none are more curious and eccentric than the loading up of the country with money it does not need, and cannot use, in order that the ne- pubncan spellbinders may howl that money is abundant and cheap

contractor; if we are to believe the old Germania farces, the Teuton is fiattered by the attentions of a scarfaced ''baron,'' who borrows his last dollar and decamps. All this may, perhaps, be considered as part of the necessary process of breaking in foreigner; 1t corresponds both to the hazing in American and the tagging in British schools. It is balanced by the so- licitude with which societies of all these races look out for the interests of new corners.
 But In addition there are the scourdrelly brood that prey on the helpiessness of their people with a mean villainy which warrants all the penalties decreed for those who betray men of their own house. hold It Is a sort of degenerate cosmo- politansm. Immigrants have been ruined even by men who were citizens of their own towns in the old world, but whose characters had been broken down by the process of uprooting and transplanting.

1 carried to a limit and is brazenly
 maintained there. Philadelphia is a
 nest of rottenness of the yilest sort
 It has big pIunderers and little plum
 derers. and no one expects anything
 else.
 The Pennsylvania plunderers differ
 from those of New York and other
 states-they are not afraid of the peo- ple. They know their machine will carry the state, and it's two big cities. and they go ahead regardless of the voters or of public sentiment.
 The periods of reconstruction were certainly vile and corrupt, but they were not in the corruption race with Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania as a whole. All the counties in the state reek with corruption, and the demo- crats of New York do right to warn the people against repetition of Pennsylvania methods. Governor Odell is well started toward such goal, and if the republicans are con tinued in power New York will indeed become as rotten as Pennsylvania.
 There is one thing sure-New York cannot exceed Pennsylvania in vile ness. for the latter has sounded the basest depths. This country has never known such a degree of rottenness as exists in Pennsylvania today, and the democrats of New York propose to see that their state is not lined up behind that reeking commonwealth.

SEVEN DOLLAR A WEEK THIEVES.

From the New York Sun.
 A shallow and mistaken, but too pre- valent idea of the relation between worldly riches and moral integrity pos sesses the mind of the gentleman in Wa terbury, Conn, who sends this letter:
 ITO the Editor of the Sua--.sir: After reading your acco unt of the clerk who forged his employers name to the amount of $20,OOO I began to think. MT. Employ CT, evidently a wealthy man. goes off on a pleasure trip to Europe md St. Louis, and leaves a large business fin tn hands of a 19-year-old boy whose pay is s7 week. This boy is 'confidential clerk, and he is paid $7 a week.
 why under the sun does any sane man place such temptations in the way of any one he pays so poorly? Had MT. Employer paid his clerk wages which could be lived on, this thing would never have happened. However I am glad Mir. Employer got trimmed, and sincerely hope 1t will teach many employers a much needed lesson. For the benefit of those who might criticise this letter, and the motive which prompts it, l will say that I worked for BIO a week myself to begin with, until 1 discovered that could make a great deal more by work ing for myself. FAIR WAGES.
 'Waterbury, Conn.,, Sept. 17.''
 The case which drew forth this letter is a particularly poor one to cite in sup port of the theory that an employe' s honesty or his ability to resist tempta- tion is determined by the amount of sal ary he receives. The clerk is not al- legged to have stolen to provide himself with the necessities. or even the luxuries of life; it is not alleged that the stipend he received was not ample recompense for the services he performed, or even that he lacked money sufficient for his legitimate wants He is accused of stealing for the purpose of gratifying his desire to gamble.
 Our Waterbury friend Is wrong. The size of mans salary does not determine his moral character.

Woodlawn on a Boom.

''Woodlawn is experiencing an unusual period of prosperity" said one of the old citizens of that suburb last night. "I don't believe I have ever seen so many people moving here in the early fall. have personal knowledge of ten families that have moved into Woodlawn within the last week.
 We have now a population of coco and to person who has not been out our way for some time the number of new residences which have just been complet- ed would be an interesting sight. And the people are building good substantial houses, too. showing that they intend to be permanent residents We have an excellent street car service and residents of the city can go into Birmingham over the two routes every ten or fifteen min utes.
 "The city council has seen the need of improvements and has wisely decided to spend much money in that direction Many of the streets are being curbed with stone and cement paving is being laid for the sidewalks The streets are being paved with macadam and present a very pretty and cosmopolitan appear ance. The city has also improved it's fire department and 1t now able to handle any small blaze. The volunteer firemen drill regularly and have proved very ef- ficient in extingushing fires during the last few months"

A New England Candidate.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
 The democrats of Massachusetts have been hunting for a candidate for gover- nor. Some of the old war horses de- clined nomination and some were deemed inexpedient. At last w. L. Douglas is chosen. He is the leading shoe manufae- turer in the state He Is popular with the labor voters. The old guard will stand by him. The anti-imperialists are sure to help him. He rose from the bench to be millionaire. The reciprocity republi- cans may support him. He has never had any labor troubles. He has some experi- ence in political life and demonstrated his financial ability as a man of affairs.
 His successful candidacy Is not expect ed, although Massachusetts has some times since the war gone democratic, but he may make a great run and give the republicans a first-class scare.
 Vive Douglas!
