ALAnAmA,s nornnn nnRr.

A very decided step towards refund- ing Alabama's bonded debt has been taken, as will be ascertained by read- ing an interview with Acting Governor Cunningham in today's Advertiser.
 The plan adopted is for bonds bear- ing 8 and 8 1-2 per cent interest. pay able semi-annually. A bond with a higher rate of interest might produce a large premium which would so at once into the Treasury. but the lower bond will, in the end, require the smallest amount of money from the tax payers. and that is the matter to be most seriously considered.
 There should be no serious difacuIty In disposing of bonds bearing 1-2 per- cent and possibly per cent bond can be fioated. If so it will make a great difference in the annual interest drain the laying aside of a sinking fund for redemption of the bonds at maturity. It should be borne in mind that these bonds are exempt from State, County and municipal taxation, which is a considerable item for Alabamians to consider. It adds more than 1 per cent to value, compared with other in- vestments.
 The growth of Alabama has been very steady in recent years and Cover nor Cunningham is clearly in bounds in expressing the opinion that assessed values in this State will reach $4OO,- 100000 in the next decade.
 It would be a great thing for Alabam- ians to own their State debt, and 1t is arranged So that those who desire to invest in these bonds can do so.

A DOUBTFUL LAW.

A New York legislator has intro duced bill to prohibit the publication and sale of trashy iterature-''books which tend to excite youths to commit dIsorderly acts.' His intentions may be good, but he will find a, hard row before him when the machinery of his law Is put in motion, or when the at- tempt is made to carry 1t out. The first trouble will be to establish and maintain such a censorship as he con- templates, but the real trouble will come when the attempt is made to fix and decide on the character of publi- cations which may be allowed to go before the youth of the country.
 Most nbservant people viii admit, we presume. that much matter is pub lished. not only in books but in news- papers and magazines, that ought not to be read by young people of either sex. They will go further and agree that some of the books are highly in- furious to boys especially, but where is the line to be drawn, and who is to draw it7 Some would cut out only the trashy, exciting ''wild Vest tales, as they are called, while another would rule out Mayne Reid, Jules Verne, Rid- CT Haggard, not to mention Swift, De- foe and other old writers. Doubtless Captain Marryatt. Dr. Ingraham and Fennimore Cooper would be ruled out by some extremists.
 And then there would be some crit ics who would shut out the works ot Zola and Smollett and writers of that kind. but would never think of object ing to classics like Chauoer and Ed. mund Spenser or Shakespeare, and some others whose writings are part oi our literature. As this mans law is only intended for his own State i, would be only a partial remedy for the evil complained of, but if every one ot the States should enact a law of that kind 1t would be a dead letter, 1t seems to us, for the good reason that there could be no rule of selection laid down which could be carried out.

A HUGE BAUBLE.

Those of us who have only seen the diamonds of ordinary size, even the most expensive ones that are worn. can hardly conceive the possibility of such a specimen as it is claimed was lately found. which weighs in the rough over 5000 carats. It weighs over a pound and one account of it says it is as large as the ordinary four-pound weight. though of course not in the same shape. Those who look on a diamond the size of a pea as ayaluabIe a gem can form little conception of the value of such a mass as this new fud is said to be.
 In speaking of diamonds we must remember that stones of even moder- ately large size are rare, and that nothing even approaching this new one has ever been heard of. The Koh- i-noor has been looked on as the most famous diamond in the world, yet it weighed but 700 carats before cutting. There is a famous Brazilian diamond now belonging to the court of Portu- gal which, 1t is said. weighed 900 car- ats in the rough, so it Is seen that these two famous gems were mere pig mics compared to the latest discovery. What the value of this one may be can only be conjeetured. One author ity prices 1t at four million dollars. but this is Euess-work for no one can place. a proper valuation on 1t till 1t is cut. There may be flaws in it which will greatly reduce its value, and even after 1t is cut 1t may be found not as pure and faultless as 1t Is now sup posed to be. Then. again, the value of diamonds increases SO much faster than their size does that no one can now form an estimate of what this one will be worth after 1t is finished. We may safely assume that it will be worth nice fortune. however.

 We are continually reading where { some State has enacted, or is contem- plating the enactment of an ''antl-jug" law, the object being to make 1t ilie- gal for liquor to be brought by rail into any prohibition State. County or district. The zealous temperance re- formers hope by this means to keep out all kinds of intoxicating drinks
 Such a law might be partially suc- cessfpl if there was no such thing as interstate commerce laws and regula- tions. but they knock the spots off all such State legislation. The Supreme Court of the United States. in test case sent up from Iowa, has recently decided that notwithstanding a State may pass prohibition laws 1t cannot invoke it's police povaer to prevent the importation of whiskey from another State" whether State law can pre- vent the transmission of whiskey from one portion of the State to another was not passed on, as we understand it, but the same principle would apply in both eases. we should imagine. else there would be inaugurated such a system of espionage as would be unbeatable. If State could enact and enforce such law no railroad or other common carrier could transport any sealed package Or closed box without stop ping at the boundary of the prohibited district to allow the box or package to be opened and examined.
 Railroad and steamboat lines and express companies would always be in- volved In trouble and litigation if they could be prohibited from carrying any especially from one State to another. It wotild be monstfous for a railroad or express company to refuse to &C., cept package or box unless the ship per would open 1t and exhibit it's con- tents, and a company which should un- dertake to enforce such regulations would find itself out of business pret- ty soon. The truth is that temperance cannot be promoted nor intemperance abolished by legislation of this char acter. As The Chattanooga Times re- marks, "as long as whiskey can be made and sold in any one of the Uni- ted States just so long will citizens of all the others be able to buy it and have it sent to them, matters not the regulation that prevents it's manufac- ture and sale at home. It is a melan- choly fact. and one that makes temper ance legislation practically inopera- tive, that virtue and temperance are not statutory creatures

Interesting Books,

Editor The Advertiser:
 When Elizabeth Porter Gould issued her book entitled "The Brownings," 1t was universally recognized by the literary world as a distinct and inapor- tant as well as unique contribution I to biographical and reminiscent litera- | ture. The country teens with Brown ing Clubs and societies, where self than knowledge or culture. are con stantly instructing students and lovers Of poetry how to read the Brownings, and Miss qould's book comes to us most timely as an object lesson. A | forcible and concise estimate of it's value may be given in the words of | Joaquin Miller, who wrote to the au- thor: Yours is the most satisfactory and tersely informing book about the Brownings I have yet read--much in little"
 The two books, "John Adams and Daniel Webster as Schoolmasters," and | Ezekiel Cheever," the early master of the Boston Latin SchooI--the first with | introduction by Hon. Charles Francis Adams, and the second quite as strong ly and suitably introduced by Edward Everett Hale-are valuable contribu- tions to the history of education in this country and in these days of incompe- tent and not too conscientious teach CTS, emphasize the function of public | and private teachers in a way, which ought not to be without good result. l The colonial flavor of these two books | add not little to their interest. These ! interesting volumes are now followed | by work of fictian, which enters a held hitherto untrodden by novelists- the influence of dear. departed ones upon the thought and life of the liv- ing, and the authors quotation of Goethe's lines is most significant of the aim and animus of the book.

GIVING IT TO HIM.

Probably If that small calibre don- key. the Governor of Pennsylvania, had known just how much unpleasant no- toriety his latest exploitation of Pen- nypackerisrn would bring him he might have mustered up sense enough to avoid this last attempt at press-muz- zling. If it were only the Democratic papers lambasting him he might lay the criticisms all to politics. but that satisfaction Is denied him, for the Re- publicans are about as hard on him as the Democrats are. For example, The Kansas City Journal says that not withstanding all do not take him seri- ously 'the fact remains that he Is ex- erting a vicious and un-American in- f1uence upon that class of citizens who love darkness better than light, for the scriptuFal reason. So long as a man occupying the exalted office of chief executive of one of the greatest States in the Union seeks to do something which would inevitably make graft. official corruption and judicial maIfeas- ance immune from exposure, he be-  comes dangerously near to being &C., cessory to these crimes. The average railer at newspapers is merely a pink eyed quadruped Of asinine proclivities aetuated by one of two motives. Eith- CT his own record will not prove cred ftable under the searchlight of edito- rial inquiry or he is making a cheap play to ignorance or prejudice"
 Pennypacker will find out that his efforts to Russianize Journalism in the United States, or even in his own State, are not likely to be successful. He may be able to push his infamous measure through the Legislature of Pennsylvania, but even there 1t will be practically a dead letter, for the press will either find a way to evade and nullify 1t or they will defy it and him. The time for his sort of censorship has passed, or has not yet arrived.

HE'S A FRAUD.

Strange things happen in Paris, and here's one told by The New York Times. It tells us that "a Paris den- tist who has recently been trying mu- sic as an anaesthetic to allay the pangs of his customers encountered legal op- position in the proceeding and was pulled up before a local court to an- Bwer The ground of complaint against him was that in the Pharmacopoeia music was not recognized as an ano- hyne and that his use of it in such 9. way was irregular and unprofessional. He was let off with small fine and a Judicial admonition not to stretch the powers of melody hereafter to such an imaginative degree"
 Now. to begin with, when any one tells us that he can extract teeth with out pain we beg to differ with him, re- spectfully. but as emphaticalIy as the English language will admit. We've tried all sorts of toothsmiths, from the country doctor with his homemade nippers to the city dentist with glis- tentng instruments of torture made in the latest style of the art. They are all practically alike. About the only difference Is that some of them can spin out the entertainment a little longer than others. for while one will take hold and yank the tooth and g. yell out of you with one motion anoth- or will go at the job and carry it through with as much deliberation as he would tackle hornets nest. That is about all the difference in tooth pulling. All of them hurt, and the only way to avoid the pain is to send the patient into such a condition that amputation of the head wouldn't be felt.
 This Paris dentists fad is like all the rest of them, no doubt. There Is mu- sic that might make a man forget toothaehe. tooth-pulling or anything else but a desire to murder the musi- cian. but the intimation that any music can be sweet enough to cause the hear CT to feel no pain over the extraction of a robust molar is one of the things that we take no stock In. It may be. too. that the Paris authorities took the same view of it. They knew his pro- fesgions of musical pain-prevention was fake but wanted to let him down easy. Instead of having him up as . swindler they only charged him with Irregular and unprofessional con- duet, That was merely to save his feelings. But it matters not what were the charges against him, we are willing to testify to the best of our knowledge, information and belief. backed up by experience, that a tooth which is we'll rooted can't be extracted from the head of 6 live human being 1. without pain.

GROUND HOG DAY.
It Is Fixed by . statute in Indiana.

AA AS RAAeu Bg ~ StAtuNe m Indiana
 If old Ground Hog, convincing him self that he Is not sufficiently rested after his winters snooze refuses to shadow to an anxious and expectant public next Thursday, one of the States oldest statutes will be smashed to smithereens. He will be a lawbreaker; and 1t goes without saying that the se- verest penalties should be his.
 There Is law on the statute books of Indiana fixing the time for the ap- pearanoe of the ground hog. The day Is recognized legally and if the ground or obstinacy, to come forth, it is his own fault The States lawmakers, back quarter of a century ago, did all in their power to encourage Mir Hogs early appearance.
 It was during the legislative session or 1870, the story goes, that a Monroe County Representative, P. l.. D. Mitch- ell, had occasion to display in a debate his superior knowledge of various an- residents of the forest he spoke of the ground hog.
 His ground hog talk wouldn't go. An other Representative disputed the state ment that the ground hog always ap- pears February 2, maintaining that 1t was always on the first day of the month.
 Mitchell, who had lived within the very shadows of Indiana University all his life. haunted the libraries of the city for proof. Within a day or two, evidently backed by gilt-edged author tiles on the habits ot the ground hog, he introduced a bill to recognize Feb ruary 2 as groundhog day. The bili passed and was signed by the Governor,
