Uniform Divorce Laws.

Governor Pennypacker's congress for the promotion of uniform divorce laws is to meet in Washington tomorrow, and Alabama will be represented In 1t. It has been called at the instance of Pennsylvania to secure if possible uni form marriage and divorce laws throughout a broad country consisting of nearly fifty states that are soyer eign each in it's own bounds in that respect
 Moral suasion seems to be the only road open to the congress. and moral suasion does not go far in South Da- lkota and some other states. As mat ters stand however no state is on solid ground-no state can enforce it's own will over it's own citizens in marriage and divorce matters. South Carolina, for example, has no divorce laws, and yet a South Carolinian can procure a divorce in Georgia, which South Caro- lima must recognize. The person di- vorced in Georgia can remarry in South Carolina, where no marriage H. cense is required, and that marriage is valid.
 The family is the basis, the unit, of our national life, and marriage and di- vorce laws should for that reason be uniform, when as a matter of fact they are hodge-podge of differences. Con. flicts. arise at every state line, A con stitutional amendment would be a remedy, but a constitutional amend ment would be difficult and probably unpracticable. Moral suasion seems to be about all that the Pennypacker congress can resort to, and this will prove tiresome and probably ineff- cient.

Instead of cutting off the fast mail the appropriation should be increased so that it would give us a fast mail from New Orleans to New York also. At present the fast mail service is one way only.
 About two years ago the Southern railroad expedited the fast mail train without extra pay, and it is today giv- ing the south a splendid service. It is today sending a train carrying mail only on the fastest possible schedule from Washington to New Orleans, and it would be unjust and unreason- able to expect such service without d liberal appropriation. The south would be deprived of it if congress should cut the item for fast mail out of the postoffce appropriation bill, and this would be a punishment that the south, which gets compara- lively little from the common treasury, does not deserve.

Up to Governor Jelks.

The lawyers of Gadsden have met and passed resolutions conforming the murder of a prisoner practically held in the county jail as a witness-a pris- oner that grand jury had practically said was an innocent man. MT Jelks has also said that he was ashamed of the action of the mob. But mere eX- pressions and resolutions will accom- plish nothing. The mob spirit cannot be put down by paper pellets. Action is needed, and that, too, of the most vigorous sort.
 Will it be forthcoming? If the an- swer can be read in Limestone, where the sheriff of that county and the so- licitor of that circuit were permitted to go along without bringing to trial a single man connected with the butch cry in Elkmont? Will what was per mitted in Limestone be permitted in Etowah? There was little difference between the two. In Elkmont crap game quarrel was ended in a butchery, in Etowah an innocent prisoner was hung, and no effort was made to avert the disgrace to the state.
 Judge Bilbro's pointed remarks, and the resolutions of the bar call for trial of the sheriff who was present when Richardson was taken out of Jail. "The law" said Judge Bilbro, requires the sheriff to protect prison CTS even up to the point of giving his own life to do so.' It is plain he did not do that. It seems also plain that an innocent prisoner was taken out by a mob and hung.
 Upon the action of Governor Jelks will turn the story of the year in the respect of lynching. Elkmont led up to Gadsden, and Gadsden will lead on to similar crimes in all parts of the state unless action, in addition to resolution, is brought into play against the mob spirit.

SCALE COMMITTEE
 HAS FIRST MEETING

New York February 1S.-The special scale committee of the anthracite mine workers, numbering thirty-six men, to- night held it's first meeting since coming to New York, at which 1t took up the demands to be presented to the operators at the conference on Thursday. The sub committee which has had charge of get ting the grievances in shape for formal presentation to the employers. held an all day session but was unable to com pete its work. In order to save time it was decided to call the full committee together tonight to formally go over the work that has been completed leaving little to be disposed of tomorrow.
 President Mitchell and the other mem bers of the committee remain silent as to the exact nature of the demands to be made. It is understood, however, that the miners will put up a strong fight for a change in the methods of the board of conciliation. The mine workers are dis satisfied with the present method of set ting differences and say there will all ways be a friction until a better method of settling disputes is found. There is a growing belief that if the operators will be liberal in granting concessions to the miners, the demand for the recognition of the union may not be pressed

Lenqth of the Session.

The Cannon machine has put through the House the statehood, the Philippine tariff, the railroad rate, and the urgent deficiency bill, and there re- mains but little to do in that body ex- cept to pass the regular appropriation bills. The quarantine bill is so mild no one will oppose it, and the insur- ance control bill is hung up, as Is tariff revision. The House in short will be ready to adjourn in May
 Many members of the House desire an early adjournment for personal reasons. Many of them have rivals at home, and the nomination and cleo ton season becomes pressingly impor- tant to them as the weather becomes warm. They have therefore facilitat- ed the business of the House. and Speaker Cannon and his rules commit tee have done the rest. The House is remarkably advanced in its work.
 But the Senate-that is another story. Talk Is endless there almost. and no one can foresee what it will do No one however believes it will be ready to adjourn in May. The urgent deficiency bill has, 1t is true, been sent to conference, but the Senate has done nothing else of general interest to the country. It looks now as if it would not do much more until pressu, of various sorts in favor of action felt, and that never occurs until z mer is near at hand.

REPREhENslRLE LANGUAGE.

From the Greensborough (N. @ Record
 A man who will curse over the tele- phone is exceedingly short on manners He is a misft and worse-from moral standpoint The public would be surprised at the number who do this. It is bad enough when one pitches in and curses the operator at the central office there should be some law to fit the case. He might rig up some kind of an excuse when talking, for instance in jocular win to a friend, but when he gets mad because he cannot get the proper connec- tion even when it is known it is not the fault of the operator, and goes to eursing her it is about time he was taken out and shot. To show how unreasonable a man can be, we recall an instance that happened one Sunday some time ago. A man called up a certain residence; central rang the telephone and no one answered. The man yelled at her to ring again and stin no one answered; then he cursed her and not satissed with this called up the chief operator and cursed her for fail- ure to get the number he wanted. Next day it was ascertaned that the residents of the house he wanted were not at home during the entire day. Right here is where he needed killing. We can prove it by everyone of the ladies at the central office.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

From the Chicago News.
 A man with a new watch Is always anx- ious to consult it.
 All months look alike to a man whose bills come due on the 1st
 An heiress seldom has cause to doubt her husbands love-for her money.
 Love at first sight may require the ser vices of an oeulist after a second look.
 Nothing succeeds like the successful harvest of a young man who has sown wild oats.
 Don't think that because riches have wings you will be able to catch them on the fly.
 Once in great while woman gets SO angry at her husband that she even re- fuses to talk back
 It's all right to contribute to the Tor eign missions, but first contribute to the support of your family.
 Each state in the union would be ahead of the game If it paid it's legislature to refrain from making any more laws. q

 Vannah Case.

Savannah, February 19-Maj. Cassius E. Gillette occupied the witness stand throughout todays session of the federal court appearing for the government against Greene and Gaynor and under going a rigid cross examination from MT Osborne, of counsel for the defense.
 Attracted by the prospect of an en- counter of wits between Major Gillette and the examining attorneys, the largest audience that has yet assembled for the trial appeared, Among those present were many ladies and the closest attention was given by the audience 10 the exchange of questions and answers. The cross exam nation related to contracts entered into for harbor and river improvements, and the cost involved to the contractors in carrying them out. When court adjourned for the day 1t appeared that there was every prospect for tomorrow being con- sumed in the further questioning of Major Gillette.

Important Factor.

"The Alabama Car Service association has been an important factor in prevent ing a congestion of freight on the rail roads of Alabama this winter" said MaJ W. A. Moody, manager of the assoeia- tion, yesterday.
 There Is a penalty on the conslgnee who holds a car over a certain length of time and the man who receives a ship ment is usually pretty prompt in unload ing. The longer the delay in unloading the car the larger the penalty he has to pay. In this way the railroads get the cars back quickly and are able to use them again.
 'The movement this year has been ab- normal-far greater than the railroads could have handled if 1t were not for the car service rules. The business is larger than was anticipated and there would never have been equipment enough to have handled it had the rules of the as- sociation not been enforced rigidly."
