HOW THEY WORKED TT.

No doubt there are some who wonder why 'Iz' Durham and his gang fought so f1ercely to retain control in Phila- delphia. The Record of that city points some figures which throw a very bright beam of light on his obstinate resist ance to Mayor Weaver. It shows that three of what are known as the ''fItra- tion contracts" were awarded by the city to the McNichoIs Company for $1,355,O00. This company Is composed of Daniel J. McNichol. James P. Mc- Nlchol and his wife, and Israel w. Dur ham, They sublet the contracts for $7S1,0 leaving a net profit, or rake off. for the four members of the gang of the titdy little sum of S574,000.
 Thus for doing nothing but filing their bids and making the contracts, these four men got considerably over half a million dollars. One of these contracts was awarded to the McNichol firm for $7OO.OOO, and they sublet it for SSOO,O These contracts. however. were only beginning. The gang had merely tapped the mine which they were preparing to work, for The Record estimates that the entire cost of the filtration system will amount to about twenty-six million dollars. and if the gang could have retained control and secured contracts for all the work, they would have divided at least ten million dollars among the four of them
 Is it any matter of wonder that the gang. of which Durham was the boss, should have been so anxious to hold on to job which was much better than a gold mine? No hungry dog ever fought over a bone with more determination than this ravenous quadruplicate fought for the privilege of robbing the city of millions of easy money.

A professor of something, or other in one of the London colleges puts forth the statement that man has an uncon- scious tendency to select a wife of his own height. with eyes of his own color. a proportionate span from forefnger to forefinger, a forearm corresponding to his own and a constitution of like physical vigor."

Change i'm the Name. of streets.

'The City Council some months aga made an important and interesting change in the names of several of the most prominent streets in Montgomery that seems to have escaped the atten- tion of the public at large" said a citi- zen.
 Mayor fin inc early psprinS aiy the streets running east and west, named for the Presidents. were changed to avenues, thus. Adams, Washington Monroe and Jefferson are no longer streets, but avenues.
 Madison Avenue had long been So dignified. and with Dexter Avenue, there is now a, series of avenues run- ming east and west from Adams Avenue to Jefferson Avenue.

VACATION TIME.
HUMAN PROGRESS.

1A The few or our contemporaries wno Are making feeble attempts to build up A2A Russian sentiment In this country
 sadoubtless feel very much encour- s5s by the words of a writer in The Nassw York Post who declares that "Ja- pans attack on Russia is a distinct in- terference with human progress" Isn't that calculated to jar any one with even a smatter of information on the subject? What progress has Russia ever made except along her own lines of savage .autocracy? It is like talking about the progress of Turkey or any other nation of semi-savages Russian aid to human progress Is not an ap- preciable quantity, and Japan's inter- ference is all pipe dream.
 Then there is another class of self made critics who sheer at the Japanese as mere imitators" The Boston Her aid quotes a Swiss journals comments on these critics and says.
 The obvious first answer to all such criticism is that the Japanese are not mere n,,,, imltators; They have a ma marvel terms they accept. But the journal re- ferred to makes a suggestive compari- son or the Japanese III tn1S point with the ancient Romans, quoting the words of. Montesquieu: Tt is worthy of re- mark that what contributed most to make the Romans masters of the world is the fact that, having fought all peo- ples in turn, they invariably abandoned their own usages as soonNas they found ssomethhlng sn tha sa 6ettef And BSssuet Sax does not know that they learned from the Carthaginians the construction of the galleys by means of which they de- them. adopted from all nations whatever Knowledge these had that would aid in of these Judgments to the wonderful accomplishment of the Japanese is not only ingenious. but 1t should prevent any undertaking of their genius.
 No higher compliment could be paid the Japanese than to call them imita- tors. when we couple 1t with the we'll Known fact that they initiate only what is best for them. It Is the same as call ing them good scholars, and certainly that would not be looked on as a re- proach. The plain truth is that one of the great secrets of Japanese success and advancement all along the line lies In the fact that she has in modern times fully abandoned her ancient exclusive ness and provincialism and has shown a most remarkable aptitude for absorb ing information. and for unhesitatingly adopting and appropriating all discov- cries and improvements tending to the advancement. elevation and strengthen ing of the nation and the people.
 If Russia had Japan's imitativeness and broad-mindedness, and had adopted that nations methods in most govern mental affairs. she would not now be virtually beaten power, forced to &C., cept terms from a conqueror. Then, too. the talk about "Japan's attack on Russia" is unmitigated rot--not even good nonsense. It was the sort Of at- tack that man makes when struck by & ruffian, or when he Is leaped on by a bear. Japan avoided a rupture with Russia until nothing was left but re- sistance or ritual annihilation. When It came to a question of fight or lose all then Japan struck, and she struck to kill What is more, she struck right. eously.

Brewton, June (special)-.R. A. Chapman. of the Government engineer ing force, spent day in Brewton in terviewing the people relative to the opening up of Conecuh river for navi- gable purposes. It Is the purpose of the Government to place this stream in the navigable class If 1t can be shown that the commerce passing out will justify the appropriation for the purpose, MT. Chapman was sent out by the authorities to get statistics as to the amount of commerce that would be benefited by the consummation of this scheme, and if it is found from his report that such a move would be 1us- tifable by the trade passing over the river an appropriation for that purpose will be made. He came down the river in skiff from River Falls. and says the plan is thoroughly practicable, and 1t depends on the status or the river commerce as to whether the movement will be carried out. The ingredients and business rnen gave Mir.
