THE NEW CARRIAGES.

The question of substituting what are designated motor -omnibuses for street cars in the cities is being discussed and is meeting very favorable consideration. Any street car system yet devised has Its disadvantages. and some of them ara apparently insurmountable. One is that the tracks are unsightly and a con- stant inconvenience to other vehicles. Where overhead wires are used, they are always nuisance, to say nothing of their appearance. Then another ob- jection lies in the fact that the cars can only follow the tracks, and thus a great portion of any city has no con veyance facilities. Still another objec- tion is that the large cars on narrow streets seriously interfere with travel.
 None of these objections apply, or would apply, to the or-omnibus It need not be larger than the ordinary horse omnibus or picnic wagon, and it would be able to traverse any street at any time. One of these carriages could not carry as many passengers as an ordinary street car. but that dis advantage would be offset by the fact that they would not be confined to any track, but could deliver passengers anywhere with the same facility that a hack does. Another advantage would be that the original cost would be con- siderably less. The motor omnibus could be built for about the same price as street car can, but there would be no roadway to grade, no tracks to lay and no wires to put up. Smaller ve- hicles would be cheaper. of course, and would be used as well as larger ones, wherever desired.
 There is such a wonderful diversity and adaptability in the use of electric power that one never knows what to expect next. It is true that automo- piles are expensive at present, but that is because of their novelty. We can all remember when a good bicycle cost at least one hundred dollars but now they are getting almost as cheap as wheelbarrows. Something of the same results would follow the general use of electric carriages. As the use and aQaptatloh or them lncreaseu' the Ia cilities for making and equipping them would grow and they would soon be manufactured at a price that would bring them into common use. As the old horse cars gave way to electric cars so the latter will eventually give way to self-propelling omnibuses and cabs. The horse may not become obsolete as motive power, but his use is bound to be very much curtailed within few years.

SCORING JOHN HAY.

] Most of the Republican newspapers are throwing boquets at Secretary Hay, but The Chicago Chronicle forms a noted exception. This is what it says of him:
 If Secretary Hay has gone abroad with no intention of returning to oftlc- ial life at Washington The Chronicle congrstulates the country on the fact.
 IT Secretary Hay has gone abroad be- cause his health has failed and if there 1s no prospect of his return to duty in presses its sympathy for him personal ", but 1t congratulates the country on the fact of his retirement nevertheless Jonn Hay has been the most conspice of American cabinets. He has attempt ed to do many foolish things. He has accomplished nothing. We wish him a .0ng and happy hfe-outside of the
 The United States Senate has many strong points. One of these Is the fact that all of Its members do not fail in same time. The Senate has saved the United States from John Hay.
 The only explanation we can think of for The Chronicles bitterness is that It hopes by censuring Hay to relieve the President of some of the adminis- tration's blunders. but by what right does 1t do this2 If any one claim is made for Roosevelt with more persist ence than another 1t Is that he has a head of his own, and that he runs the government in his own way. That the administration has blundered in more than one important matter Is a notorious truth, and the attempt to lay all the opprobrium on Hays shoulders Is unjust to him and an evidence of syoophancy towards Roosevelt. He is the head of the government, the cabi- net officers are appointed by him, and the blame for all the blundering should fall on the heads of the various depart ments is equivalent to saying that Roosevelt is a mere puppet in the hands of his cabinet.
 This is neither just nor truthful. We may admit that we have but poor opin- lons of some of the cabinet officers, but they are Roosevelt's appointees and ara. or should be, in his confidence. Any failures or blunders on their part should be disavowed by the President at once, else he must be held responsi- ble. There have been a number of acts which. to say the least of it, were no credit to the government. but The Chronicle and its kind cannot shunt them on on the cabinet. Let it amend the last sentence in the above extract and say that the Senate saved tho United States from Theodore Roose' welt.

A Cndet nt seyentv.

Clad in the neat Dixie gray of a cadet in the Agricultural College at Starksville, Miss, William Standifer, a Confederate veteran of many wounds and of seventy years, Is learning along with 400 boys all about stock, field implements. Babcock separators and ruck-farming methods.
 Mir. Standifer was too busy to go to school when he was a boy. Then the war came on and he got shot pret- ty completely in that. Then he raised a family of ten children. Now the last one has grown up and left him.
 "On December 12 1903. my barn was burned" MT. Standifer tells The Chi cago Tribune, land was total loss. My neighbors were wonderfully kind and gave me corn and money to help me out. Thinking my life too far spent me being seventy years old-to start anew and live there alone. cut off from the best society, was more than I could stand.
 T applied to be one of Northern emigration colony to locate in South east Georgia. and I thought if must start life over again I would go to the Agricultural and Mechanical College.
 'T never thought Mississippi could produce such studious. industrious. courteous and kind young fellows as the younger cadets. says MT. standi- fer.

THE STATE CAPITOL.

 The Onthouse Proposition Is Astonish- ine.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 Your remarks about the improvement of the State Capitol building and the erection of new buildings are so con- sonant with sound business principles and correct taste in architecture. that It Is astonishing that the proposition to build an outhouse for the Supreme court has been seriously considered. turai blunder." a subject of ridicuie for people of good taste and a source of modification so long as it would be The State unquestionably expects that the Commission will have the ad- wee of the very best architectural tall ent the country affords, in determining Capitol Hill. In whose brain was this innovation in State Capitol architecture matched? Does any competent architect stand st sponsor for the monster? l think IL may be assumed that 1t did not orig mate with an architect at all.
 The dominant idea in building a State Capitol should be to provide suf- to comfort. beauty and economy. for the uses of the three departments of the State. It should be imposing and ar, tistic. None of the canons of good
 
 the best in points of utility and archi- tectural effect the State can afford. The State can afford to provide a orS an ,g89d Capitol Hs oa1 n9a on Improvements that did not originate with and will never have the approval of a competent architect.
 Architecture is fine art; and this country has produced very few eminent artists in this department. With Rich ardson at the head of the list, you can count all of them on the fingers of one hand. It Is certain that there Is not one of respectable capacity among the executive and judicial officers at the Capitol with whom this idea of an out house for judicial department. doubt less originated. It is no disparage- ment of those officers, eminent as some of them are in their specialties, to say that they are. individually and coliec- lively, totally incompetent to determine what should be done with the Capitol.
 If the State had unlimited resources to expend in providing Capitol, 1t un- questlonably could be done with fine ef- legislative and Judicial buildings. Each, however, should be in such proper rela- tion and dependence upon the others as could give them. Such a Capitol. if im- posing and artistic, would be very ex- pensive. or course three buildings hospital. planned primarily with refer ence to sanitation. could be put up without such great expense; but does any self-respecting people want such a Capitol?
 4 single building. imposing and ar tistic. meets the demand for utility and fine architectural proportion. within and without, far more economically than can possibly be obtained in two or three separate structures. If the old building can be utilized in provid- ing such Capitol as Alabama needs. it should be done. If 1t can not be go ,,tiIi1ad tho Commission should simply make the old building fit for temporary use and report to the next Legislature the opinion of the best talent the coun- try affords, as to what should be done. We can afford to wait, but we can not afford to commit stupid blunder.

 While the election for the next Gov ernor of this State Is more than a year press and people to begin considering the matter and the qualifications need- ed in the next chief executive in view of the needs of the State and people. people have called for and there are others in which they should be aroused to take more decided and active in mands It. As The News of Birming- ham says, the widespread increase in public sentiment for better schools in Alabama is one of the most encourag- ing of the many favorable signs in this State" Along that line Is the great need for better school houses. about which the people have shown too much the best way of obtaining them is an important matter to the people and they are too unconcerned on that sub Ject. Love of home, civic pride and have lost much of the old time spirit that once characterized them. Respect for the courts and reverence for law they have retrograded in from the The best class of our citizens too often evade jury service and all the people suffer thereby. The man who can and to positive action the best and noblest sentiments of the people is the one who Is needed at this time to be their leader and occupy the chair of the chief executives office. Coupled with this is needed and demanded a man who possesses the constructive ability and capacity for solving the better public road problem and the awaken ing among the people due sense of their responsibility in changing pres ent methods to those that will aid in bettering conditions and preserving them when made better. The use of broad tire wagon wheels for illustra-- the Railroad Commission and Lieuten- ant Governor R. M. Cunningham, from their actions and publicly made state ments, are regarded as practically an- clearly defined ideas and opinions as to the regulation of railroad freight rates and they agree on this subject.

Former Governor oates's name has also been mentioned in some think of ali tkese questions and how does he stand. Some of these matters. at least, will be issues in the next campaign and the people will desire to know how the. respective candidates some friend or party favorite with tho office of Governor should be matter of secondary consideration by the peo- pie. Who is the best qualified man able to render the State and people the greatest service, should be the Ques- ton considered by the people touching the candidate to be selected; The thing, but the citizen owes tho State his best services and the true citizen sees 1t only in that light.

Nrw cANAL pRoIrcr.

Of all the projects and propositions for the Isthmian problem we believe that of MT. Charles F. Gilmore. of Washington. is the most unique and novel, and yet we are not sure that it is not worthy of serious consideration. As, Is well-known, there has been a great deal of discussion over the dif- ferent plans proposed for the great ca nal. and 1t is equally well-known that no permanent decision has been reach- ed; consequently. the discussion of new one is not out of place.
 At the start, MT. Gilmore discards the idea of either a sea level or lock and dam canal. In fact, his idea is not to cut a canal at all. in the ordinary mean ing of the term, but to build a water way much after the plan of the aque- ducts which have been constructed in many countries and in all ages. The ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Greeks and the Romans were among the pioneers in this work. and there are yet standing numerous re- mains of these waterways, which were constructed many centuries ago for the purpose of conveying water to the great cities of the past and for the purpose ruins still excite wonder by their great strength and magnitude. and it may be added that they have been repeated in modern times in various countries.
 Mir. Gilmore. then, would to some ex- tent follow those old places. His idea the sea level at each end and build a level way across the Isthmus, cutting through hills and mountains and filling or bridging the valleys and other de- pressions. On top of that level way. from ocean to ocean, is to be construct ed the canal proper. It Is to be made of concrete and masonry, strong enough to obviate all danger of destruction, and wide enough and deep enough to &C., commodate all the shipping that Is ever likely to pass through it. There will be at either end a great receiving basin, something on the order of the locks now used on canals. On each Slue or the Wdter-Wdy, ana emDeuQeu in the masonry. is to be placed a huge tunnel These will at all times be filled with water obtained from the many streams along the route and from the tunnels the canal will be kept filled.
 This is the general plan for the con- struction of the waterway itself, but the projectors further idea is to place railroad on each side of the canal, with engines operated either by cleo tricity or steam. and the vessels are to be drawn back and forth by them. Thus an almost continuous succession of vessels could be passing in each direc- tion. the only delay being the time re- quired to let them down to the sea level at each end of the canal Mir. Gilmore reasons that the whole work can be completed in five or six years, at an entire cost of $150.0oo.000.
 This is brief outline of the plan, and. as before remarked, while discus sion is going on. this may as well be considered along with other proposi- | tions.
