 The Advertiser gives considerable space this morning to the publication of the report of state Auditor Carni- chaeI for the fiscal year which closed September 3o It is a report that should be studied carefully by every patriotic citizen. every citizen who takes close interest in his State gov ernment.
 The fact that with constitutional reduction of taxation the state has made on of the best financial show inss in Is history is alone worthy of the thoughtful attention of voters. All expenses of the government have been met and we find at the end of the year surplus of ssss.s54ss in excess of expenditures. This Is fact that does not need word painting to re. mind the people that their affairs have been ably and prudentiy managed by Governor Jeiks and his associates. He will go out of ofHce with the reward of knowing that he has done his full dpty and that he has reflected credit upon himself Tor all time.
 Auditor Carmichael deplores the fact that tax assessments in Alabama are too low. This is not the first time attention has been directed to this condition. Indeed it has been i'm. proved greatly during the administra- ton of Governor Jeiks, It must hs further improved and ns doubt the Legislature will take steps to remedy it..
 Ths recommendation by Auditor Carmichael that. Board be created to investigate inadequate assessments Is a wise one. Such a Board, consisting of the Governor. the Auditor and the Treasurer, could be relied upon to conserve the interest of the state while giving the taxpayer nothing but axant snaffrA

AMERTCAN PLAYS.

Not every Engitshman who comes over here is inclined to turn up his nose and try te be funny at the ex- pense of Americans. Many of them do. we must admit. and in their affec- tation Of superiority they make them- selves not only ridiculous but obnox- ieus. Of different kind is Mr. Henry Arthur Jones, dramatIst Of repute. who recently delivered an address to the students of Yale College. After saying some good things About our matinee girls he added:
 .'Your American colioquial language and sting and swarms with lusty young fdloms struck of redhot with vitality. hear them as I walk your streets. read your journals and try to understand your politics ptia aa Your S,r. ewn gnr the modern living drama and we across the ocean are constantly iTn- porting phrases.
 This was frank and nice in Mir. Jones, and we commend his remarks to some of his. own countrymen, as well as to a goodly number of ours. There are Engiishmen of education and information who affect to think Americans must naturally be all wrong because they differ from the English in manners and language And there are Americans of the same sort, unfortunately. With them every thing that Is English is exactly right and all else is wrong. If both these classes will heed what MT. Jones says 1t win be better for them.
 ! And we hope he is correct in what he says about q distinctive American drama in the future. There have been many plays written by Americans, and plays of ell kinds. Some of them have been of high character but as yet nothing has been produced which will take the place of some of the works of the old English dramatists, espec- ially Shakespeare. If play can be produced here equal in lasting merit to the best of his productions 1t will mark a new, era in American Iitera- ture, though we predict that if it is ever done it will be difficult to su- pereede the old English plays to which Americans have so long been aceus- toned. still. such opinions as that quoted are encouraging.

 Commenting on that prazen utter ance The New Bedford Standard re- marksS that ',when the Republican party puts into an ofaee man whs induIgss in this variety of argument. its leaders need not wonder at the school of political and social philoso- phers which has arisen In this coun- try wah its assertions that the chief function Of the swealthy--if the weai- thy are allowed to exist at all--is to contribute heavily of taxes to be spent for the benefit of the peoplei" and that so long as the funds from that source are ample, 1t is not much mat ter how they are spent, if only they ere spent. Governor Pehnypacker Is supposed to be an educated and thoughtful man. If he ayers that by the waste of money on the state cap- itoI the wealthy stockholders who live in London and New York have thus un- willingly been forced into doing some thing for the benefit of the people. what wonder that Ignorant men have concluded that the same fountain of riches can pour forth uever-failing stream of plenty Tor their good!"
 A public odi.lal must be in an ex- ceedingIy tight place when he puts up such a plea as that in defense of steal ing.

The value of a Good Name.

Washington Star.
 Senator Morsan's expenses in the recent Alabama campaign were S60, while those of his colleague, Senator Pettus, were s70. In other words, both men secured Endorsement at the hands of their constituents by merely pre- an endorsement. It was not necessary for either to make canvass Their record was well known, well approved

Enormous fees have been going into the pockets of law yers of much smaller caitber But he has preferred office with very small salary, and in office has content ed himself with his salary.

A Crafty NEOhmmmedan.

The head of the Mohammedan relig- ion in India. the aga khan, is man we'll qualified to conduct the affairs of Islam in a country of warning sects, as this story testifies. During the re- cent famine In the Bombay presiden- cy he built a great Orphanage and an- nounced that destitute children whether Hindoos, Buddhists or Chris tians would be welcomed, cared for and educated therein; no Mohamme- dans, however, would be received. This announcement caused great sur prise until it was learned that the or- phans thus cared for were converted to Islam willy -nilly, it being assumed that the prophet would look out for the souls of the little Mohommedans who were not admitted.

HEARsT,s DEFEAT.
Interpretation Put on It By New YOrl
 Papers.
A RepubIIcan Defeat


 A RepubIlcan Defeat.
 Let nobody mistake the meaning of the narrow victory that Charles E. Hearst. MT. Hughes's election by Ss.- GOO plurality is morally a Republican defeat, a popular repudiation of the corrupt Republican machine and It's al- dances with corrupt corporations. The Hearst vote Is a striking illustration of the popular temper in regard to the abuses of corporations and the demand for effective regulation.
 On the basis of the character and re- cords of the two candidates 1t would have seemed incredible that a man of conscience and conviction and great have come 50. near to defeat at the hands of a Hearst, and more especially at the hands of a Hearst whose nonai- nation was stolen brazenly for him by a boss whom he had previously de- nounced as "the chief criminal of them all ." Yet the returns tell the story. In all the industrial centres the enthu- through to victory Only by the votes of tens of thousands of Democrats who refused as matter of personal and party honor to support the candidate Of 1ican State ticket saved from complete annihilation.
 The people of New York are tired of eorporafion piracy. They are tired of being robbed by the public service Corporations that are the creatures of the State. and of seeing this robbery eonnived at by men who are supposed to be the servants of the public. They are tired of being robbed by Milk Trusts and Ice Trusts and Coal Trusts and Gas Trusts and Traction Trusts. They are tired of the partnership between cor porations and political organizations and they have voiced their resentment
 By an unexpectedly small plurality they have selected Mir. Hughes to do the work that MT. Hearst was clam bring to do, but there can be no ques- ton as to their demand that the work shall be done. Had anybody less clean and capable than MT. Hughes been the

 Members of the Legislature are coming in January" remarked a Mont gomery merchant. "and Pm glad of it. I've never approved of this four years lapse between sessions of the Legisla- ture, and 1t is certainly against the in- terest Of Montgomery.
 rThis was the only bad thing the Constituttonal Convention did, and believe the fraruers of our organic law realize 1t themselyes. sWe have re- peatedly found need for a session of the Legislature since tho last session, Tt may be seiflsii Of Montgomery to want frequent sessions of the Legisla- ture, and 1t is for selfish motives. The lawmakers spend their money freely. They bring hundreds of visitors to Montgomery daily and they are worth as much as a big convention.
 I'm glad to see the lawmakers come back to us. and I wish they could come once q year instead of only every four years"

The Portland Ore wonIan. which has a taste for figures. gives us these details which it, gets krom the reports:
 The school budget of Gre4.et Lon Mon is the bfggsat thing in the world. sA that line. The edacati0n committee Df the London Couasy Council reports Rhaf there is yearly expenditure up- on the public elemeasl-Y scbf ols of I.onden alone of $25.91a.o 900. Thef aver age roll of these schools Is 750,00o. Besides these schools the County Council maintains thirteen technical institutes and schools of art three training colleges. eight pupil-teach- ers' centers. twelve secondary schooiS, and s70 evening school; besides par ffalIy supporting four university col-- heges, twenty~nine polytechnies, tech-. nical institutes and echools, of art, one training college, ffty-one secondary schools. ten industrial, tru- ant and day industrial, zol speeiai kective, nineteen physical laboratories. thirty-seven chemical laboratoriess' hfty-two general science rooms. thir-. ay-three lecture rooms z05 manual Arainfng centers, 1e5 cookery centers, l4k laundry centers, and thirty six housewifery centers; together with Anstructfan in swimming given to 63,0S9 pupils with the result that 1S,- s24g actually learned to swim last year.
 Even The Boston Transcript is in. rlined to doubt if any city or commu- nity in the world can equal this ex- hibit. Unfortunately the, expenditures Tor all these educational Institutions Is not given. only the amount paid out dor Elementary schools being sta- ned. By going over the figures given, However, 1t will be noticed that the ! aauthorities are wholly or partially supporting thirteen or fourteen hum ared institutions of learning in addi- tiOn to the elementary schools. so that the entire amount raid out each year must be enormous. We of the United States, and mp in New England especially, have regard sd our public school system as the best and most aeniocratfc in the world, but the fig. nres quoted shows that the great English city is annually paying out enormous sums for the education of khe common people as well as for all other classes.
