Wild Statement from Chaitanooua,

The Tradesman is trade journal published at Chattanooga. It proceeds to islander Birmingham by saying: Al ready a large majority of it's people so armed as a matter of self-protection, '" and proceeds to say that immigration will add problems and burdens beside which tits present ones would be as hut a drop in the ocean of crime and poverty" that would envelop it. This ia mere onsense-mere rhetoric run mad. Jefferson county holds today five thousand Italians and Greeks; It has been gathering them steadily dur ing several years, and it hopes to gain twice five thousand more in the next five years. They become good Ameri- can citizens-prudent, industrious, sober and prosperous.
 The Age-Herald advocates the in' coming of Italians, and it will continue to urge the desirability of Italian i'm migration. simply because it considers them adapted to the southern climate and southern conditions. If the Trades man would study the subject in prac' tical manner 1t would quickly ascertain the value of Italian immigration. II would cease perhaps to indulge in SC much rhetoric of the frothy sort, but it would present facts and a sound policy based on actual experience. Al present it is up in the air, where 1t IS scattering language around promiscu ously. When it gets down to facts it will deserve more attention than it Is at present entitled to.

Now that the time is approaching when Birmingham will have as its guest the President of the United States" said a public spirited citizen yesterday were well if our people should begin to think of means by which the whole city and especially the business section could he most beautifully decorated in his honor.
 II regret to say that Birmingham has never been adequately decorated on oc- casions of this kind It seems to me that we should wake up to this shortcoming of ours and see to it that we are not remiss in this respect again. Every merchant hotel proprietor and business man in the city should deliberately decorate his place of business with a profuse display Of bunting and American flags Especially should this be done along the presidential party's line of march throughout the cityn

The Labor Question.

"The greatest question and the most vital to Birmingham and the Birming- ham district at present is the matter of obtaining labor" said a prominent mem- Der of the Commercial c1up yesterday.
 "The labor question, I do not mean the strike and the fight between organized la bor and some of the big capitalists. Is the most serious that we have to face now. We need all the labor that can be se- cured for Jefferson county curing the next year to come and then there will not bc enough.
 There is a curious condition regarding the union labor question. It is not bother ing anyone in Birmingham that know of and the companies and the miners are each going their own way. and everything Is progressing. But in other cities and other states the situation in Birmingham is greatly exaggerated ana people think that many of the furnaces and other in dustrial plants are shut down on ac- count of the strike, That Is not the truth at all The companies are n1fning all the coal and ore that they need.'

Iron Stocks Not Increasing.

More Birmingham iron is going out, simply because consumption is going on unchecked. Figures are sometimes misleading, and the figures of increases in the last three full months in the furnace yards carried a wrong impress sion simply because they did not, and could not, take into account the de- creases in the yards and warehouses of consumers. The increases in fur mace yards were plainly visible, but the decreases in the foundry yards numbering thousands-could not be seen or ascertained.
 The truth Is, consumption is going on unchecked, and the time has come when the melters must have more iron, and this is why brisk buying move ment has set in In this district, which is the chief source of foundry iron Large crops are already in sight, and this means that the railroads will want more iron. It means an increased de- mand for structural forms, wire, nails lin short, every thing that springs from pig iron. The consumption of iron will not be lessened this year, and 1t is not necessary to cross next years bridge at present.
 Production has fallen to about 40O,- 900 tons week, or twenty million tons year, and this great and pros porous country seems to be equal to consumption of that immense pro portion. The time was when a con tinuous consumption of twenty million tons year would have been deemed incredible-a mere dream-but we are fast coming to know that it is real ity which has come to stay A boom in iron means now a consumption in excess of twenty million tons year.

 other full settlement was in fact pos sible.
 There is now no reason why the great scandal in the Equitable should not begin to subside. The indictments that District Attorney Jerome may be instrumental in securing need not stay the return of confidence to the big so- ciety and it's 600000 policy holders. The indictments will relate to the past, and the future Is now in the hands of the policy holders. The punishment of the grafters of the past will will be an additional security against graft in the future in the society. If every policy holder will exercise his right of voting when directors are to be selected, there will be no further trouble in the Equitable. The policy holder should use his own judgment, disregarding all advice from officials and agents. The entire responsibility now rests on his shoulders. He is the society, and he alone should select it's directors.

elbson's Development Work.

II. P Gibson, the vice president of the Gayoso Coal and Iron company stated last night while in Birmingham that the Gayoso people would begin at once to put in two more tipples with a capacity of 400 tons daily. Work on the development will begin immediately the engineers going out this week, and will be finished in sixty days.
 We find that the demand for coal justifes our pushing this development work. and we expect the market will continue healthy in tone, with a tend ency towards higher prices.
 '"rhe Gayoso company employs only non-unlon labor, or rather we conduct our business on the open shop policy. There is no friction be- tween the employer nnd the employees. but we can use great many more men than we have at work. This, however, is generally true throughout the state, the demand for labor exceeding the sup ply everywhere"

Resionation of Chief MulIin.

The resignation of J. T. Mullin, who has been chief of the city's fire depart ment sixteen years, Is not an ordinary event by any means. He has served acceptably in the department nineteen years, and Birmingham is not twice that many years old. During his long service he has seen the fire depart ment doubled in size, and he leaves 1t filled with well-disciplined men who know how to fight fires, and who are every ready to do their best.
 Whoever succeeds Chief Mullin should endeavor to measure we'll up to him. This Is 6 prosperous, busy city, and its fire protection should keep pace with its general growth. The new chief will be expected to be alert, and efficient and progressive. New methods are year by year coming into uSc, anu thie city sHouiu hoSp apiSoSe of all that promises more security to property.

FASHION IN MusTAcHEs.
The kaiser's ExpIained-The Police
 Mustache Now Popular.

From the Washington Post.
 The man who cannot grow a long mus tache need not feel sad about it. Long mustaches are distinctly out of fashion for Americans, and Americans are the men who determine the modes in mus taches for their own country.
 Foreigners are never regarded here as setting any style in mustaehes. Thus from the German Emperor down nearly every foreigners with mustaehe follows the style prevailing abroad and wears 1t turned up at the ends.
 This style is made possible by an elab- crate device which is put on at night. Two net wings not unlike the spread wings of a large butterfly. are strapped over the ears by rubber band. There Is a space between the wings. for the wearer to breathe through.
 This presses down all night on the mus tache. which has previously had it's ends pointed upward. By morning the mus tache has been so well pressed that it will remain up all day.
 This style has never been adopted here.
 Most Americans" said the barber who has among his customers more of the young men of fashion than go usually to one man, wear what we call square mustache The ends are not pointed. but cut off close.
 This used to be the typical mustache for cop, but it has now become the style for the men who are able to grow large mustache. The ends are cut short and there is no opportunity at all to curl them up.
 "There is in Washington now, so far as I can find out only one mustache of a kind that was some years ago very popu- lar in political circles. The mustache proper came to an end not far from the corner of the mouth. But down over the lower jaw on each side there grew kid ney shaped spot of hair which was purely the result of not shaving"

 Tt is reported that in trying to arrange an indemnity for the murder of French missionaries at Patang, mining concss- sions instead of money have been asked for. But the Chinese properly point out that mission work and commerce arc ils- tinct and refuse the demand"
