, The election law, the great blanket franchise creed passed by the last leg islature and heralded as the eliminator of all ballot infirmities has also found its troubles, the stumbling places being none other than the revenue officers of several of the counties. In these coun- ties the officers were chosen by authority of local laws which conflict as to time of election with the general statute. The attorney general has held that the local law is good if there is nothing in the gen. eral provision specifically nullifying 1t. Several lower courts have held according to this theory, and it is anticipated that the supreme court will do as much. A number of officers are anxiously await ing the action of the reviewing tribunal.
 Once again Alabama has embarked in the business of making cotton yarns and the coarser grades of cotton cloth, hay ing leased the mill owned by the state at Spegner's. The contract provides that J. A. A. w. Clark, who Is to run the mill puts in the experience and t--e board of convict inspectors the mill. Both share alike in the expense and "whack up'' on the profits. The hands will come from the negro boys in the reform school at Speigner's and the women prisoners, to be furnished at sS per month. All who are concerned anticipate a favorable out come from the new arrangement
 Let me tell you something about that cotton mill business you don't know" said one of the state officials recently.
 Tt Is this, I hear, though please don't say I told you, for I hear it's secret. Judge J. NJ. Carmichael, president of the convict board, wants the mill to make the cloth for the clothes of all the state con- viets. It is also understood that the judge does not like the idea of stripes on con- victs and would if he could without detri- ment to the discipline and safe-keeping of them, adopt some other style of cloth ing. This is a secret now. so don't let any of these newspaper fellows get on to it.' Whether this be true or not it is fact that Judge Carmichael is very anxious for the best of treatment for the prisoners of the department, and will make any change that promises to better the ser vice

A TOUGH PROBLEM
Or Why Did the Kaiser Visit TangIer,
Morocco?

London, April 4-The Kaiser has
succeeded in arousing dangerous COM
plications by his action in Morocco.
The commonest view of his exploit Is
that 1t is the natural outcome OF re-
sentiment by one of his arrogant tenn
permanent at having been ignored in a
matter which only slightly concerns
him.
1t is only fair to him to seek for some
larger motive in this wilful offending
of French Susceptibilities. He knows
full well that the French people are
liable to sudden fits of uncomfortable
anger, and it is precisely such incidents
which are likely to provoke an explo-
sion.
No country in Europe is so anxious
as France to avoid war at the pres
ent moment when her ally is helpless
1t is natural perhaps that Germany
should seek every opportunity, and
take advantage of it, for the relief OF
the pressure on her eastern boundary
but nobody will accuse her of going sc
far as to risk war with France. Yet
such might prove the outcome of the
Kaiser's ventersome action.
1t may easily happen that the Sui
tan Of Morocco will be induced by En-
peror Williams action to defy the
French, in which case France will be
compelled to undertake a serious cam
paign for the subjugatiOn of the Moors
an embarrassment which would be
bitterly resented by the French peo-
pie and the government. Great Britain
and France interpret the Kaiser's in
reference as a diplomatic way of ask
ing "Where do I come in?" and ex-
pecting to demand concessions else
where from France as compensation
for his approval of a French sphere OF
influence in Morocco.
1t is safe to say that NJ. Delcasse'
the French minister of foreign affairs.
will ignore the Kaiser and continue TO
press his demands on the Sultan or
Morocco. The latter must yield or say
to the Kaiser: eff we resist France
will you protect u.s." France VIII not
be sorry to see thi situation arise, and
she will be quite prepared to deal with
whatever developments the Kaiser
then create Moreover France will be
able to count on the cordial support of
Great Britain in any complication witt
Germany. In fact, one effect OF the
Kaiser's actions has been to strength
en- materially the Anglo-F'rench en-
tnete.
