1T has caused me infinite sorrow and
pain to see that there are in Russia men
who dream of introducing the lie of par,
hamentarism in our country. that our
university professors teach the students
whose education is confided TO them
that general suffrage is the only way
out of our present difficulty
"A Russian parliament would be a
curse to the nation, and my only prayer
is that the people themselves may re-
cover from their errors and see that
autocracy alone is the only form of gov
ernment which can hold together an
empire like Russia. composed of so
many nationaiities and tribes"

were the Banker. FulI.

Portsmouth Stdr
 The bankers have declared for sub feat without debate and without any previous discussion and presumably with an insufficient knowledge of the subject Somebody proposed sCme- thing for the restoration of the mer- chant marine and the bankers were for it with the exception of one man from Arkansas. who had the hardihood to tell the convention of American Bank CTS meeting at Washington that they were going about it in the wrong way.
 There Is always a majority of the members in every body who meet for social entertainment, who have no re- sponsibility, who are not put on record. and who are ready to approve of any thing. They are too amiable and too irresponsible to take the trouble to ob- ject to any proposition. Somebody gives d dinner or a free ride and then asks for the approval of scheme which Is unconsciously selfish and gets 1t. The persons who had the dinner are too full to refuse an approval. Those who are something else do not feel the respon- sibility of individual action, and there- fore allow the proposition to go through with the whoop.
 The members of the bankers con- ventiou would have recommended new kind of dog collar or approved special brand of whiskey with a great major ity and with the same general indiner- ence. The subject of ship subsidy was not debated and the bankers put themselves In the attitude of advising the members of Congress to vote away the money of the people to private en- terprises as bonuses without the slight est investigation as to whether the de- mand for Subsidies were needed or is honest

A VIGOROUS VETERAN.

The issue of The Greenvilie Advocate of this week Is numbered one, volume forty-one. During all the years from it's inception in October, 1865. until this day 1t has always been under the capable management of James Berney Stanley. The people of Greenville, of Butler County and the State have cause to feel proud of his career for he has devoted his whole mind and heart to the bet terment of conditions here in Alabama. For forty years he has labored intelli- gently and zealously in one newspaper ofice. He has been it's inspiration and moving spirit and all who know him admire him for his honesty, integ- rity and patriotism. In referring to this great event in The Advocates bis- tory it says:
 Just after the war and while the Federal forces were still stationed At Advocate was first issued. The pres ent editor. then boy. is stth at the helm. and hopes that the good people of n1ef they have a been doinss ail aHus these years continue their liberal patronage, so that he may for a number of years yet, be able to send The Advocate to them filled with good tidings

Mo FootbaIl Games Here.

T see after all the Auburn -Davidson College football game mas been With skin enthusiast yesterday. T take 1t that this means we are to see no hrst- class clash on the gridiron this year just as no opportunity was anorded last year. This does seem to be an mex cusable ignoring of Montgomery in the bama does not play here this year ac- cording to the present arrangements. Auburn has no game to be played here with another college. ,
 T think the alumni of this city are entitled to some consideration when the managers go to framing their schedules. I am sure that ID set or alumni of either Auburn or Tuscaloosa has shown more fidelity and enthusiasm for the sport than those who live in the Capital City. Yet, in order to see a game in which their respective alma mater participates they are compelled to go to Birmingham or elsewhere. l don't think 1t Is just fair to these interests of those colleges. The city deserves at least one game season, if no more. It has never been proven that a first-class game has failed to draw crowds.
 "It Is said that the Auburn Davidson game was taken away from Montgom- cry because the park peeople refused to guarantee the two teams their expenses. l don't believe that they have guar antee of expenses, rain or shine, In ness three or four of the best games of the season in which Alabama elevens will participate. 1 hope that Mont gomery will be given the proper test and believe she will turn out as good crowds under the same conditions as Birmingham, as that city is compara- lively new in the matter of patronizing football"

Southern Mayors at the White House.

 The Mayors of Southern cities seem to be trumps at the White House just now. A few weeks ago the President was exchanging compliments with the Mayor of New Orleans and both were delighted.

He went home 10 hlch- mond and began putting the city Tn order to greet the President on hls visit to the capital of Virginia. Ihe latest of the guests at the White House have bean Mayor Rhett and eX.Mayor J, A. Smy;he, of Charleston, s. c These two gentlemen have been Tn the front ranks of the Presidents critics. They had we'll defined opinions about the ap- principal Federal office in south Caro- lima. But the fire of their ipdignatlon seems to have grown cold me two gentlemen were on visit to Washlng- ton. arranging for the gift of silver service to the cruiser Charleston. A1ter attending to this business they brought themselves to call at the Presidents office. He was invited to see them ana invited them to return to lunch on. ana they accepted the invitation.

 The Fifty-ninth Congress will not make any attempt to change the pres ent tariff schedules.

 Never did a political movement col lapse more quickly or more completely than the movement for tariff revision The last week has seen every cloud of doubt clear away. It Is now plain that tariff revision is dead for the Fifty ninth Congress and probably for some years to come.

BRUTALITY IN SPORT.

That the President has to some ex- tent set himself the task of humanizing the game of football may to some have the appearance of putting in." but it is evidently high time for some effort to be made to relieve the game of the brutality that often attends it. For example, there was a game between New York University and Trinity played last Saturday. The printed account tured and several other injuries were reported. most of them resulting from a free fight in the first half" A little later when one of the New York play CTS dropped back to try for a field goal we are told that the rough tactics of the Trinity players who tried to put him out resulted in a general fight. in the course of which Captain Cragin. of New York. was bitten"
 Now we respectfully ask if general free fights on the field. breaking jaws and biting each other like rabid beasts is the kind of sport for boys and young men to indulge In especially while they are supposed to be under the govern ment of school and college authorities? We we'll know that some degree of rough play is inseparable from all ath- letic games, and that boys cannot be expected to go through school without some hard knocks, but it is plain that the somewhat guarded account of the New York and Trinity game shows an element of savage brutality which is not at all creditable to our institutions of learning, to say nothing of the bru- talizing effect it Is bound to have on some influence Is needed that will better the methods which too often prevail.

The day for n shot gun quarantin ought to have passed on. Its effective ness has never yet been demonstrated, while its inhumanity appeals to high heaven for vengeance. It has proven an ienonninious failure in those locali- ties where it has been enforced In Ms sissippi and Louisiana.
