MAKE IT APPLY FOR THE NEXT
 ONES.

They are having snarl up in Con- necticut which can hardly be looked on as creditable to the good sense of those who are responsible for itN Numbers of people. doubtless with gSod inten- tions, want the salaries of the Supreme Court Judges increased. This is all we'll enough, but the Constitution of Connecticut, as is the case in most States, positively and in express lam guage forbids the increase of the salary, while in office. of "any public officer, employe. agent or servant" of the State.
 This Is the language of-the Consti- tuition, and if the Legislature should pass a law increasing the pay of the judges now in office the constitution ality of the law would be attacked and the Supreme Court, as the court of last resort, would have to pass on the mat ter. Thus the Judges would be re- quired to decide a delicate question which affects themselves. They must declare the law valid and thus incur the suspicion of construing a doubt full statute to their own benefit, or they must decide against the law and against their own interests. The people of the State should not try to place judges, especially those of the highest court, in any such awkward position.

carm.rk ana the saiaon..

Senator Carmack in his speech at Nashville, said:
 activity of the saloon in politics is a question of interest to every man who holds or seeks to hold public office. So far as am concerned, I am weary of a whose business it is to make the laws must hold his office by consent of the man whose business 1t is to break the laws. I am weary of the insolent and vades the saloon business of the State of its open alliance with vice, its open contempt of law; its assumption that the right to sell whlskey in accordance sell whiskey in violation of law; that the license to run saloon carries. with 1t the right to run a gambling house and Haunt It's black banner in the. very face of innocence. purity and public de- cency. It seems that have given nor tai offense to some of these gentlemen because I have publicly said that the man who runs q saloon has no more who runs a barber shop.
 To which The Nashville American adds: is the right sort of talk. The insolence of the saloon power. has already re- suited in the enactment of legislation dryg the the statn % ceases to fiaunt its defiance in the faces of the people 1t will be driven from the few remaining counties.
 ''If he had done nothing else for the State of his nativity. Mir Carmack de- serves well for the bold position he has taken on this question. Good citizens may differ from him on some matters of. national policy. but he has their un- stinted approval on this question.
 The lawless saloon must go! The lawless gambling house must go!'

 lust now the air rings with charges of bossism in the Democratic Party of Alabama, in the interest of MT Conner. Every one, who dares to have con- science, and to exercise an independent thought, in the choice of men for of flee, is environed by the bosses. Who these bosses are we are left to contec- ture, Certainly Dr. Cunningham is not a machine candidate, notwithstanding the fact that MT. Conner in his own in- terest, laid the foundation of this charge, unsupported by any proof whatever and in the face of the doc tors record refuting It.
 We are sorry that this sort of cam paign has been pitched by the Conner agitators, and for which their candidate is primarily responsible. Mir. Conner charges that his opponent Is environed he says he is honest in theory. but as Governor must needs be dishonest in practice-conscientio in heart, but corrupt in head.
 How easy it is to damn a mans character in this gross way of insinua- tion How hard to defend himself against the groundless 'insinuation which is taken as self-evident by so many because their minds are prepared to believe it. MT. Conner entered upon a campaign of preparing the public mind for his candidacy, and put this cudgel into the hands of his henchmen to fambang all who differ with them; and they are using it pell mell, right hand and left: not troubling themselves about the little scenes behind the door of their own consciences which the public knows not of.

WILL BE BOSSES HEREAFTER.

Must the boss in politics and in munl- cipal affairs exist forever? Is the genus a necessary portion of modern life? Is there no way to put them out of business for good and all? It is not far cry back to the time when William M. Tweed. the great boss of New York, was put out of business and into prison by the efforts of Samuel J. Tilden and others. and 1t was then said by enthusiastic optimists that New York was done with bosses. Was it? Well. we hardly think so, though we believe Tweed's equal has not appeared. Pos sibly he will not, but we are not sure.
 There has just been a notable over throw of corrupt bossism in Philadel- phia, and already there are those who are congratulating the city that it is no lcnger to be boss-rldden. They are talking too soon of what good men may hope for. In this case both political and financial clements entered into the equation. and that makes a hard com binatlon to beat, SGSh a combination as that of Penrose, Durham.

Military Postage Stamps.

Chicago Journal.
 The latest new postage stamps are a decided novelty. Issued in Italy, they are reserved for franking the corre- spondence of the non commissioned of ficers and men of the Italian army. There are different stamps for various corps and regiments. and consequently a large number of designs. For in stance, on the stamp assigned to one regiment is the portrait of its colonel, on another a representation of a court martial and on others views of the cities where particular corps are sta tioned, while on the stamp specially reserved for the Barsaglieri appear a few notes of music-those of the first bar of their famous refrain. None of these stamps will be offered for sale by the authorities, nor should they be sold by soldiers, and collectors will doubt less experience some difficulty in ob- tatning unused specimens.

4 Negro's Logic.


 We thought Yale turned out better logicians than this: Louis A. Graves, negro graduate of that university, has been arrested for twentv@six crimes. He confesses. but says that Yale IS responsible; if he had never been educated he never could have gone wrong. Then he draws this strange conciuslon: Education for the colored man is like poison to rats" Education to thls colored man was like chicken and vans. True, he committed crimes but then. it was the education of Ysie that enabled him to be so clever in his crimes.

roo COCK SURE.

The Chicago Journal is disposed to be enthusiastically rambunctious on the canal subject. It whoops up the sea- not a continental how much it costs nor how Iong it takes to build it. It says that .'this great nation cannot ehange its mind every few minutes about enterprises like this. The Pana- ma canal is question: settled, De- bate on it Is closed"
 Oh, the question is settled. is itg De- bate is closed, eh? We'll, that's just where The Journal has several more thinks coming to it and had better call a halt till they catch up. The question is just as unsettled as it ever was. And as for debate being closed, 1ust wait till Congress gets fairly down fo it. Debate will then be very wide open. and we predict that it. will be free aud unconined. And our sky- ycraping eontemporary tells us that "pubiic opinion, outside of the rail- road offices and their branches. is unanimous"
 That is another conclusion jumped at without basis. There is about as much unanimity about the canal on the part of the public as there Is about any oth- CT subject that has been before the public. The fntimation that everybody is satisfied except the railroads and those whom the railroads control is ridiculous. If The Journal is no better informed than it's language indicates it had better study the matter little It has much to learn.

The Why of It.

 Toe much nearness' it is. but that is not what the dear old hypocriticai New Englander calls it; he charges 1t to the labor unions. It is this way: the union men complain, as is their custom when a non union man is put to work alongside of theMs the unions don't admit negroes, hence the negro is in a horrible fix. Color, of course, has nothing to do with ft---except to bar the negro from the labor unions, and New England sentiment refuses to be held responsible for that.

Ordinary talk about building good highways sounds small alongside the project for which the people of New York State at the late election autho- rized the issue of bonds to the amount of nifty million dollars. That project is to construct A continuous and first class macadam road from New York to Buffalo. by way of Albany, Utica, syra- cuse and Rochester, total length of 44O miles. It will be the longest and most expensive continuous highway ever undertaken by a singe State. we believe, and the proposition shows how the idea of good roads is grow ing.

The Law fin Place os the Mob.

GadSden TlmeS-NeWS.
 The people of this county and their trusted city and county officers have cause for self congratulations on the termination of the trial of the three negroes who committed the most hein- ous crime in the history of this section of the State. The fact that the law was allowed to take it's course under the attending circumstances renects credit upon a law abiding community and the outcome of the trials conclu- sively shows that our courts and our officers can be relied upon to mete equal and exact justice to all. It Is true that several months intervened be- tween the commission of the crime and the trials and that a delay of this kind naturally exasperates an outraged pup lie sentiment, but. at the same time. we have the assurance that in no other way could the truth have been made known and $he guilty parties alone punished. The mob would have exc cuted innocent parties. The law IS hanging the guilty ones. We should all take pride in the fact that abso- lutely no demonstration of dissatisfag- tion as to the course matters were talk ing was made and that the law was quietly, firmly and judiciously adminis- tered. Gadsden and Etowah County feel the better for that fact.
