The way they are playing the people.
ed. In a recent conversation with a prominent Gaorria ReDublican the

ed. In a recent conversation with a prominent Georgia Republican the fact was mentioned that Mrs. Long, street, wife of the Confederate General. had been appointed postmistress at her home town. whereupon the President said: What about Mrs. John B. Cor don? It would give me the greatest pleasure to provide for the widow of the great Georgia General. If she needs a position. General Gordon was my personal friend and was one of the greatest of all Americans"
 No more friendly act could be shown toward the people of the South than in making provision for the widow of the great Georgian, provided she de- sires recognition. Whether she would or would not accept any office within the gift of the President is not known, but the office of postmistress at Att lanta said to be at her disposal, is an important and remurerative one. If Mrs. Gordon should desire that office there would seem to be no obstacle in the way of her securing 1t, whether she be the choice of the Georgia politi- clans or not. The appointment would meet with the indorsement of every class of persons in the South, and no better selection could be made either vice or in the interest of a better and more cordial feeling between the diff ferent sections of the country. There was time when such an appoint ment would have been received with bitter feeling in some sections of the North, but that time has fortunately passed. and the great mass of people would regard the action of the Presi- dent as being gracious and graceful and prompted by the most laudable motives.

An Outrageous Performance.

Selma Times of the 14th.
 Yesterday at 1 o'clock in the city hall, Selmas Temple of Justice, an out rageous performance occurred. MT. Hamilton. the courteous, affable cor respondent of The Montgomery Adver- tiser in this city, who had printed an Selma in Saturday issue of that paper. went around to the city hall for the purpose of getting the policemen's side of the story.
 He had an engagement with one or the police officers for the purpose Of getting an interview. and when he step- ped into the police room many of the force gathered about him in a menac- ing manner. daring him to print their names and threatening him with per- sonal violence if he did. Some of them told MT. Hamilton that they did not want their names in his paper" and told him if he did put them in that he would have to take the dirt road out of the city"
 MT. Hamilton had printed in Satur- days Advertiser what some people had said about the police force and as a gatherer of news had gone around to ton, in order to be perfectly fair to them. Mir. Hamilton says that he was outrageously treated, Oficer Ben Nose ly being the principal speaker against him, while Of1cer Davis took hand, Off, ficer Davis making menacing gestures and using threatening language. This is' supposed to be a country of peace. MT. Hamilton was on a peace- full mission. He was making an at tempt to do the policemen of Selma justice. They are wearing the uni- forms of peace officers and as such are the last men in the world to start a rough house." unless they are attacked. The conduct of some of the police force yesterday toward MT Hamilton
 lays them open to very grave criticism. He Is a gentleman and is entitled to be | treated as such. He told the officers who were threatening him that he ex- pected to print what had occurred, and
 1t will doubtless appear in the Selma
 department of The Advertiser this morning.
 Chief Walters owes 1t to himself to suspend every police officer engaged in
 this disgraceful affair, pending an i'm
 Council to probe this matter to the bottom. Officers of the law have no
 right to talk extensively and insultingIy
 to a citizen in the peaceful pursuit of
 Oficer White is the only officsr who l spoke to him who showed him the least | consideration.
 | Chief Walters has been honored by
 this people. He Is popular with them,
 as is evidenced by his election yester- to continue to deserve the respect and confidence of this people he should act | promptly and vigorously on yesterdays
 occurrence. It Is up to you Chief Walters, and the people will wait to
 see whether you have the courage to l suspend these men, pending an investi- gation. Since the above was written Chief
 Walters informs The Times that he has
 suspended Messrs. Mosely and Davis. pending an investigation. All honor
 to Chief Walters for thus doing his duty.

SOME FUN IN pRosPrCr.

If we are not badly out of the guess ing q recent court decision in Balti- more is going to bring on more talk, and a lot of new law. The judge de- clared that a customer at a restaurant could not be forced to pay for a beef steak If 1t was found too tough for mastication, and we shall be glad to know something more about 1t. Who is to decide? Shall the customer try 1t on the dog if his own powers fail? Then there are men with jaws of iron and teeth of adamant who could masti- cate a rare-done shoe-sole, while there are other unfortunates who are hardly able to chew well cooked macaroni. Must each steak be suited to the masti- catory powers of the customer in order to force the latter to pay the bill?
 Then there is another point we phould like to have settled: Suppose h customer refuses to pay for his steak and the restauranter sues him and brings him before the court-how then? The customer will naturally swear that the steak was so tough that his teeth made no impression on it. but the plantiff and the court will demand that he prove 1t. and that puts it up to him good and hard. It is hardly to be expected that he can produce the of- Tending bovine morsel in court, and if he does how is he going to demon- strate its toughness? Try it on the dog again! That would hardly be con- sidered good evidence, and we doubt if the court would be willing to risk tooth on it in order that he might render just judgment. Besides, SUD- posing he had a piece of the steak in his pocket, he would be required to prove 1t was the identical dornick he labored with in the restaurant, and also to prove that it hadn't toughened any since his attack on it.
 We can imagine a whole lot of cir cumstances arising out of a case of this kind If the plaintiffs lawyer is sharp one he will require the defen- dant to prove the personality of the steak and will also require him to demonstrate to the court that his ivories make no impression on 1t. Then his honor will appoint an expert to de- eide whether the man is doing his best to get away with his find. The attor- 'ney will also demand proof that said defendant hasn't been putting the meat through a hardening process in the meantime. We guess thereIl be cargoes of amusement in a case of that nature.

terests and if the law cannot protect them against fashion's demands we fail to see why it should protect game birds or animals as is done in many States. We know that the government interferes to protect the <. farmers against boll-weevils. locusts and other enemies. and it might with equal justice interfere in behalf of the friends of the farmer. If it were made crimi- nal offence to wear any bird. or any part of any bird on the hat we've no doubt that the women of the country would dress themselves with as much good taste and expense as they now do.

 MT. Haggard said that 1t had been practically proved that three genera tions in the London slums would wipe out family absolutely. It was the same in New York. he added.
 He was of the opinion that one rea- son why the Japanese had been so sig nally successful in their present war with Russia was that they were en- tirely an agricultural people. with the good habits natural to tillers of the soil. The banquet hall rang with ap- plause when Mir. Haggard mentioned the successes of Japan, and the Japa- nese Secretary was obliged to rise and bow his thanks before Mir. Haggard could proceed.

Home-Coming of the Governor.

The best news in The Advertiser this morning" observed a business man.. was the statement that Cover nor Jelks is coming home. I am an admirer of both Governor Jelks and Acting Governor Cunningham. That is. am an admirer of them as public men: l do not have the honor to know either of them personally.
 T, hope I am a patriotic citizen of Alabama. At least I am one of those who feels that the Governor belongs to the people and I have had great sympathy for Governor Jelks during his long illness. My heart went out to him in his enforced absence from his State and he has not a. personal friend who will rejoice more at his homecoming than will.
 There is little doubt that the Gov ernor will be given a warm reception when he goes to the Capitol Friday morning and I hope his condition will be much more improved even than has been reported"

A STRENUOUS METHOD.
We find the following in The Chica- go Record Herald:

go Record Herald
 A society of young men at Berlin has adopted an extraordinary plan of cam paign to prevent women from wearing birds in their hats. Warning Is given them in pamphlet that if they persist in this vain and wicked fashion they will be stopped in the streets by mem bers of the society and asked to remove the birds. If they refuse the request the enthusiastic crusaders will perform the offioe for them, using such force as may be necessary, and fines for this lawlessness will be cheerfully paid by the society.
 Looking at it in one way this is a direct effort on the part of the society to encourage and defend IawIessness, and may lead to serious consequences A member of this society would have no more right. in this country. at least, to stop a woman and remove an orna- ment from her hat than he would to remove her purse from her belt or her hand. Certainly the hat and It's orna- ments are as much personal property as her purse would be, and no one would claim, we presume, that a man can have any right to deprive her of it either by stealth or open force, nor do we see that a society can have power to authorize such plundering.
 And yet this is a case where the end almost justifies the means. True, it may lead to riots and broken heads, and it is equally true that the proposed methods may arouse more sympathy than condemnation for the women, but perhaps no other and gentler means can be found to stop a habit which cer- ! tainly ought to be stopped. If the women's hats never had any birds on them except of the few varieties which are really injurious there would be some excuse for it. but that Is not the case. Most of them are singing birds inseet-eating birds, and other species which are friends of the farmer and the fruit grower and of all lovers of the beautiful in nature
 It looks like an interference with personal rights and liberty for the law or any ordinance to say what. an indi- viduai may or may not wear, but the killing of certain birds is acknowledged l-.~> AA a IRtREZ tg alI agEteultHgei in-

Cronje, a Pathetic Figure.

TO my mind, said SoIdier Of the great American war. it is pathetic to see gallant old soldier like General Cronje of the Boer army~ travelling with an exhibition which Is soon to appear in Montgomery.
 "Cronje was one of the great fig ures in the South African drama and he was undoubtedly a heroic soldier There Is, of course, nothing improper in him executing war tactics in mimic battles but 1t Is pathetic to think of this great old man. on the losing side of Titanic struggle. reduced to the to city under contract to appear daily before audiences for livelihood.
 T have no doubt Cronje Is well paid for his services but for one of his ex- treme age the constant travel must be tatiguing."
