Several times within the last few months the papers have contained ac- counts of the collapse of buildings in and about New York, the result of faulty construction In one or two of the cases the buildings fell to pieces while in process of construction, and in others they were completed and oc- -cupied, but in all there was loss of life, and in each case the trouble was caused by criminal carelessness in con- struction and the equally criminal neg llgence of the building inspectors whose duty it is to supervise the erec- ton of all buildings.
 The New York Commercial has draw ings and descriptions of a block of buildings now being erected in the Bronx District, twenty houses in the block. and it discloses a condition of Afeairs that Is shame and disgrace to any city in the Union. The build- inks. if the work gees on as begun. will be both hrs-traps and death traps. If they stand up until they are hn- ished and occupied we may confidently

Speaking of immigrants Is 1t not singular that we get so few of them from Spain? Statistics show that for the last three fiscal years the total immigration from Spain to the United States was but S.676, which is slightly less than 5000 year. Yet the same authority tells us that from Russia. Italy and Austro- Hungary the number was about 100000 from each country for the last year. It is not that span- iards do not emisrate. but nearly all of them go to Central and South America. s:>~ ..- ..sr--.
 It Is singular that the Spaniards who leave their own country should turn to the torrid portions of the American continent. Or to the warmest portions of the temperate zone. Spain is about the same latitude as Indiana, and Is a much colder country than the Southern United States, yet emigrants from that nation are rarely seen in the South. It may be that the war with the United States and it's results has something to do with their indisposition to settle in this countrq, but that would not ac- count for the fact that they have al- ways gone south of us. Whatever may be the cause it Is a fact that we get few of them. and that we should get many more.

THE EXTRA sEssroN.

The Age-Herald wants an extra ses- sion of the LegislatuTS to quarantine a 1ai aaarantine law against banana ships strictly enforced at Mobile. The non enforcement of the law caused the fe- that what The Age Herald really wants extended. and as that would not con ealiing the Lesisiature together 1t Jugs fin the bananas. This is only one of a number of equally ridiculous projects that are on hand for an extra session. Mon tgomery of course wants the ex- tra session held because it Is money to Montgomery to have Legislators buying drinks and cigars there, and as of yellow fever it wants to recoup on Legislators.
 We copy the above from Our South ern Home. published at Livingston, and beg to assure it that the motive for desiring a session of the Legislature is much higher than the one 1t attrib- utes to the people of this city. If the editor of The Home would come to Montgomery he would find very busy set of people, who are not very depen- dent upon the sale of drinks and ci- gars' for a living. He would also as- certain that in spite of foolish quar- antine. for the space of two weeks against Montgomery, the statement that "the town is $1o0,000 short on 8 case of yellow fever it wants to re- coup on the Legislature" is both in- correct and unjust. In dollars and cents there was no loss to Montgomery. because of one case of fever from a point against which there was at the time no quarantine either by State or local authorities. The way in which that case was handled and the prompt ness with which the world was noti- fled of 1t, has been worth many times more than $10o,000 to this city, It convinced our own people that the craze which heretofore possessed many of them to get away upon the an- nouncement of a case of fever was not Justified and that 1t could be here and not spread. This was amply demon strated in the case of Minhennett and the value of this knowledge from a business and material standpoint Is beyond computation. The Advertiser some days ago gave the reasons which influenced its support of the idea of a special session of the Legislature and it is as strong in It's belief that a ses- sion is needed as 1t ever was There is no sordid motive in our position, and our people are not moved by unworthy considerations.

 The ofice of United states Senator is not a local posi&ion. It is not the For 100 years the United States Senate, It's small membership considered. has been the greatest parliamsntary body othsr m e and sa surpSssins rp IT in abiiiiiss ali others. A Senator in the American Congress is the amhassador of a soy sreign State that IS equal In that body to any other State, and no rffore nor no less than equal.

What are husbands for?" seems to be the conundrum that one Chicago woman tried to solve, but gave 1t up. She tried Six of them in succession and failed to find one to please her. Her declaration that she could not love a homely man" leads us to believe that she picked out six ugly ones, and that doesn't give us a high opinion of her judgment But she says one thing that may help to explain her disgust when she asserts: My husbands have all been alike in one particular; I have had to support all of them"
 That was hard on a poor woman, certainly If we are correct in the opinion that her husbands were all homely we can't blame her so much for quitting them. for a woman who has been compelled to support six ugly men may be excused for being disgusted. But If, on the other hand, she married six men solely for their beauty she might have expected to support them. A man who has nothing but good looks to recommend him Is not apt to be success as supporter. If that has been her experience we would advise her to hitch up to the ugliest man she can find and see if the luck doesn't change.

A NEW nnMrnY.

For all ailments there are many and various remedies but the latest one for yellow. fever Is given by a corres- pondent of The New York Herald, who asserts that he cured himself of a typ ical case of the fever by drinking two bottles of stout in the early stage of the disease. He also refers to the statement of a German physician to the effect that brewers yeast Is both a specific and prophylactie in yellow fever.
 Likely this remedy may be laughed out of court, but 1t must be remem- bered that this witness and the Ger man doctor practically agree. Stout, ale. porter and lager beer are all of the same family. and composed largely of the same materials. Stout is the English name for the strongest mem Der of the beer family, but doesn't diff fer materially from them in other re- spects As the German doctors reme- dy was the yeast that brewers use in making all these drinks is 1t not possi- ble that 1t was the yeast in the stout that cured the man who drank 1t? That is a reasonable explanation, at all events, and If stout will cure the disease why will not beer have the same effect? We doubt If our doctors would consider 1t safe to allow vel low fever patient to drink his fill of beer. but if there is anything in the yeast remedy they might easily ascertain if the other ingredients of beer add to or diminish It's curative properties

The free delivery system is far reaching and serving an immense number of the people of Alabama. This can be easily understood from the fact that for ten months. from December |, 1904, to September 1. 1905. over 200 postofices in this State were diseon- tinued. In nearly every instance this was because of establishment of free dalsvery. which supplied patrons of country postonices with mail matter at their homes.
