TiIIman and varaaman.

Governor Vardaman appears to be tue Tillman of Mississippi. q radical, but a strong man. We all remember what an impression the South Caro- linian created when he first came here with his pitchfOrk-how sinister was his look, how savage his language, how provocative his manner. But Tillman has grown on the senate and on the visitors to the galleries of that digni- fed body. He is a perfectly frank, fearless and honest man-that is the character he has made in the city of Washington. He is a much abler man, too, than anybody supposed and a far more cultivated person than we thought him. Whether Vardaman would extort the respect of the senate as Tillman has is a matter that can only be determined by the trial Washington Post Qnd.).

The Street Cars.

Said a prominent lawyer: Tn The Age Herald of February 15, appeared this ex- tract: General Manager Emery stated yesterday that he did not know any reason why the cars should not be warm in Birmingham, as they were all supplied with heaters and sufficient current to heat them
 Had the general manager heard conversation that the writer heard, in a car on Twentieth street, few days ago, he would have known the reason for so many complaints.
 "A lady approached the conductor and urged him to turn on more heat The conductor told her he could not turn on any more, as one of the two wires supplying the current to the heaters, had been cut, and the appliance regulat- ing the flow of current to the heaters had been so set that only one point could be used, whereas the heating apparatus had originally three points on two wires, so that by this cutting and setting the power to heat had been reduced to one sixth of it's original capacity, and this had been done on all the cars of the company.
 This was not new to me as l had heard a similar statement made by other conductors

"BUNk."

From the New York Sun.
 In the rare Chicago air, syllables melt away; time is saved; words cut like chisel or sting like a wasp
 Hon. Carter Henry Harrison says non- estly and frankly that the immediate municipal ownership of public utilities' is bunk"
 Even ''bunko is too long for Chicago, and has to lose it's tail. Bunk descen- dant of ''bunko is pathological cousin, perhaps, of another contemptuous con- temporary phrase, punk" For instance: "A punk show; the show Is on the punk.
 This little Chicago "bunk' fits many other schemes and reforms besides the municipal ownership of public utilities swelling phrase which divers statesmen like to puff out their cheeks with, wink ing unconsciously at the same time.

LOOKS LIKE A PARsoN.

From the Washington Post
 Representative 2lcha Is.p of Alabama is sometimes taken for a Methodist preacher. He wears a white muslin t1e, as do many southe -rers For that iGatter, but his countenance and garb aespeak, to an extent the clerical prcfesslon.
 Yesterday he was introduced to q yis- itor, who at once propounded to hlm the question of his previous life an1 profes sion. Had he not been Methodist min ister.
 No" replied MT. Richardson. "i am not Methodist, although I am frequently taken for one. Perhaps, however 1t Is because of my long association with the circuit riders in my congressi nal dis- trict. As a class of men I esteem them most highly. They are of very high char acter and integrity. At the same time I watch them very closely They know more about public sentiment and do more to shape public sentiment than any other class of men in our southern com munities. Therefore I have another red son for liking to be in favor with them"

socIETYs NOVEL FEATURES.

St. Louis Correspondent New York Times.
 During a masquerade ball at the fash ionable Union club a drove of pink little pigs was turned loose. Instantly pande- monium prevailed. Women screamed and pigs squealed, Finally the women became somewhat accustomed to the spec tacle of the pigs in a ballroom, and the little animals became so uncomfortable and out of place on the slippery floor of the ballroom that they were affection ately petted by perfumed hands and jew eled fingers. The pigs romped about everywhere. tripping up dancers when they were not In the arms of some young woman or other.
 The pigs were not the only novelty. "Six big Injuns" danced in single file about the room, emitting shrill war whoops The entertainment committee, dressed as ''rubes.' furnished to all the guests confetti. Another feature was an animal circus. Maskers representing every animal gave an exhibition of trained animal performances. Bears operated typewriters, dogs talked and roosters worked, while horses outdid Jim Key.

Annaal for a Snuare Deal.

The Presidents Lincoln Day speech has been received in the true Lincoln spirit in all parts of the country, MT. Roosevelt presents no reduction-of- representation scheme, no remedy of any sort; he simply appeals for a square deal for all citizens, black, as well as white. Nowhere will such an appeal find more responses or kinder responses than in the south. The race problem is left where it must ever be left, in the hands of the peo- pie, and when the President asks every person to aid In the solution of the difficult problem he is assured of favorable response from every fair minded, intelligent man.
 The President sees the difficulties in the way. He does not anticipate the coming of the millennium in the immediate future. If the President had recognized the need of doing away with any percentage of illit- eracy above ten, and had dwelt on that feature of the situation, he would have served all, both white and black. Though education of all sorts, and only through education-the ed ucation of whites as well as blacks can the ideal condition desired by MT. Roosevelt be achieved. He does, in fact, recognize this fact.
 Education must first assail Hitter acy. All persons must be taught to read and write, just as they are taught in Iowa or Massachusetts. The task is heavy one in the south; the race problem is strictly national, and there Is no reason why the loose constructionists should not turn their attention to the reduction of illiteracy rather than the reduction of repre- sentation.

Kansas and the Oil Trust.

Kansas has four thousand oil wells, and the Standard Oil has been buying from them 10000 barrels daily. The Standard Oil trust kept sqeezing the price of crude oil down, until the oil producers could stand the treatment no longer. War has been declared and the producers are endeavoring to line up the state in the struggle. One branch of the legislature has passed a bill to establish a state oil refinery, and the entire state is ready to hit fhe Standard Oil monopoly at every opportunity. Kansas proposes to for felt any rights the Standard may have acquired in that state. They propose to drive it out altogether.
 Kansas affords an excellent oppor- tunity for the beginning of new oil industry in which competition will be an element. She has plenty of oil, fuel and railroads, and a neuclus in Kansas might become of inestimable value in the breaking of the greatest ant most dangerous monopoly in the land-the parent, in fact, of al the rest

General kuropatkin.
pds.

That General Kuropatkin is not a Napoleon or von Moltke or Grant Is evident" says the New York Tribune General Kuropatlxin may not be a great soldier, but he certainly deserves credit for saving his army in two instances from overwhelming disaster.
 Whether Napoleon or von Moltke or Grant could have done in his shoes better is indeed doubtful. Grant cer- tainly could not have done better. The man who stayed ten months at Petersburg-who stayed until the Confederacy was worn out--certainly could not have vanquished the Japan ese in the few months of war that have elapsed near Mukden. Nor could the scientic Won Moltke have completed the task in the time men, tioned. What Napoleon would have done is idle speculation, for he knew not modern methods nor modern sol diers. especially the Japanese One

IN HOTEL LOBBIEs
Mortsased City Property.

nasor Drennen's suggestion that the faul Hayne school building and lots be soids and the money applied in the con- suoctlon of a large and handsome school building in Drennen park, reminds me that said property and the Avenue D hfe station, originally built for market house and city prison, are covered by mortgages to secure the holders of the bonds issued for the purchase of those lots and the construction of said build lngs' remarked a man well acquainted with the earlier bond Issues by the city of Birmingham.
 The Paul Hayne school is indebted and mortgaged to the amount of s20000, and the mortgage debt runs until 1880. There fore the only way the city could make clear title to that property would be to buy these bonds at the present market price and retire them, or for the pur- chaser to assume the indebtedness, which would leave but small sum to apply on the new building.
 Until the new city hall was built I think the properties named above were the only pieces owned by the city which carried mortgages. I understand the present administration mortgaged in full the city hall property, which said mort gage protects fully the holders of those bonds"

Stopover Privileues.

Birmingham has been granted full stopover privileges, just as full as New Orleans or any other town enjoys. This is a tribute to the focal nature of this town--to it's fame as an iron and steel center, and to the desire of travellers to tarry here for a while.
 A compact guide book to the indus tries of this district should be com piled and placed on sale at all news stands. It will be much needed, and if the work be well done, 1t will be helpful to the district. All "stopover" towns have such handy compendiums, and Birmingham must have one.

A Barren Session.

Only fourteen working days or the session remain, and the Swayne i'm peachment trial goes on. If that trial be ended by March 4, and the supply bills are passed, there will be no time to devote to other subjects. Some few bills may be rushed through in the last days of the session, but this is doubtful, and the chances largely are that the session will be unusually barren.
 The railroad construction bill for the relief of the Philippines was pushed through, and no doubt there were mysterious and powerful influ- ences behind it.
 All other bills are dead. The Pres. ident's plan for the revision of the tariff is very dead, even the bill for the reduction of the Philippine tariff. The Senate refuses to consider the regulation rate bill passed by the house. The arbitration treaties are in their little collins, and the state hood bill not much better off. The last named is, however, where it can be juggled with in the last hours of the session. The pure food bill and the proposition to amend the immi- grafton laws have both fallen by the wayside.
 The session was started in the early days of December with bright prospects, and 1t is about to go out with nothing to show for its labors except the supply bills, and the lone Philippine railroad bill. Not even the isthman canal proposition now before the House, with many friends behind it, promises to become q law in the next fourteen days.

JUST TIMING AIRsHIPs.
Recreation of Youth Who'd Got to Go
 Home to Mother.

From the New York Sun.
 Policeman Stegmuller found a big, we'll dressed man standing in the rain at Broadway and Thirty-third street last night alternately glancing at a gold watch and the elevated structure. The police man saw several men look with envious eyes at the gold watch, and he approached the owner and asked him why he didn't put it out of sight.
 "S-s-sh,n aid the big man, I'm tim- ing airships.'
 Better go home" suggested the cop, mildly.
 Timing airships, I told you" was the reply. "One just flew by minute ago and here comes another"
 As near as Stegmuller could make out the big man seemed to be under the im- pression that the elevated trains were airships. At the station house. to which the big man was invited, he said he was John Carpenter, 50 years old, president of the Baldwin Airship company.
 "I can't stay, cause I got to go home to mother said he. But he stayed, by request.

FERMENTATION ON REGISTERS.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 No better evidence that the simple life bears no relation to the strenuous life of the business man Is shown than by glance at the guests register in any large hotel in this city Apparently time is too valuable and life too short for the average travelling man to sign his address in full. Abbreviation is the order of the day. N. Y, for New York, heads the list, of course; Bstn for Bos- ton, Bklyn for Brooklyn. Gin for Gin einnatL Hbg for Harrisburg, s. F. for San Francisco, Chi for Chicago, N. O.. for New Orleans, Bait for Baltimore Buff for Buffalo, W. B. for Wilkesbarre Bng for Binghamton, Koch for Roches- ter. And so 1t runs. Even travellers from small towns abbreviate their resi- dence to such an extent that one can only gues5 whence they come.

 N CRUSADE against the non-obser-
 ~A vance of Sunday has been com
 meneed in England. It is head
 ed by the archibishops of Canterbury
 and York, a majority of the bishops and
 other digntaries of the Episcopal church,
 and is indorsed by one of the high offi-
 cials in the Kings household. All the clergy and many lay enthusiasts are join ing in the movement, which is nominally
 directed against the smart set. It is as serted that the rich and idle, who might well be content with six days in which to enjoy themselves to the utmost are turning Sunday into a day of pleasure, with automobile excursions, boating parties, formal dinners, card parties, and concerts. Sunday has been secularized
 to such a degree that servants, railway
 men, and in fact, nearly all classes of
 laboring men, no longer secure a day of
 rest. Customs, too, have changed with
 the swirl and whirl of society In the
 olden days a person who indulged in any
 form of amusement on Sunday was so- cially ostracized by all respectable peo- ule, but since it has become fashionable to play golf on Sunday, to say nothing of other forms of recreation, the Puritan spirit is less dominant and much is con, doned which was formerly condemned. It is this condition of things which has led the clergy into common movement for the salvation of Sunday.
 In this country, while Sunday is still
 day of practically universal religious ob- servance, greater freedom of action has
 undoubtedly been noticed in the past few years Except in a few communities, the strait-laced Sunday has disappeared. People are regarding the day with broad CT spirit. If man who has labored all the week indulges in recreation on Sum day, no one threatens him with eternal
 damnation. and if he listens to good mu- sic in the evening he is not at oncs
 placed in the category of those who are totally degenerate. Even Christian peo- pie. who are careful to walk in the nar-
 row path, and who believe in following religious precept. are more tolerant to- day regarding Sunday observance than ever before, and many of them indulge in harmless pastimesl without a qualm of conscience. They do not want the day desecrated by unseemly public exhibl- tions, and in this community. at least. their influence is potent. Washington has no baseball games or horse races on Sum day. the theatres are closed, and the well-filled churches testify to an orderly, God-fearing people. At the same time
 there are occasional concerts and few social functions on Sunday, while the Congressional Library and the Corcoran Art Gallery invitingly open their doors to
 those who would spend a quiet hour among the book or pictures.
 No one has been harmed by the slight concessions which have been made tc those who find in Sunday the one day free for recreation. On the contrary, 1t is safe to say that any attempt to compel people to live according to the old blue laws would work incaculable injury. A Sunday statue. framed along the lines suggested by some well-meaning but big

might as we'll try to ascertain what Hannibal would have accomplished, for he was a greater soldier than Napoleon. One thing is certain, Na- poleon never would have caught the Japs mapping, and his successes were generally due to surprises and con centrations.
 The entire discussion is, however, idle. A fighting people, full of the highest grade of patriotism have arisen, and no one can say, not even the esteemed military experts, what any soldier of the past could have accomplished against them. It looks indeed as if Kuropatkin had done very well indeed. Any other Russian gen. eral might have been driven in con- fusion back to Harbin.

lation. It could not be effective because human nature is not to be changed by legislation. Above all things 1t would be unwise, because unnecessary. As long as people enjoy Sunday in a quiet, ra- tional, orderly way, which is certainly the case in Washington, the community will not suffer.
 The result of the crusade in Englan0 will be observed with interest. It is but the simple truth to say that in Washing ton at least, there-is happily no occasion for a similar movement.
