WHEN DEWEY CUT THE CABLE

From Harper's Weekly.
Admiral Dewey grew reminiscent as the
LIST of May rolled around this year. He
narrated to number of friends the
manner in which he learned that there
were two cables instead of one, as he
supposed, In Manila bay.
Il had found and cut one cable" said
the Admiral, land thought that ended the
whole business, as far as communication
went, when a captain of a small boat,
to whom | had given permission to carry
out some refugees from Manila, came ON
board to thank me for the privilege ac-
corded him. He had made several hun
bred dollars out of the deal, l learned
incidentally. While on board he casually
remarked:
"Tengo entendido que ha cortade un
cable TELEGRAPH. Almirante?'' Il UNDER
stand you have cut a cable, Admirably
Il informed him that | had, and when
he innocently asked. Which one?' l be-
gan to get busy, and it was not half an
hour until had the other wire located
and cut"

Rlrminuham Streets.

II have been most fayorably impressed
with Birminghams paved streets" said
Henry r. Baurmann of Chicago, who is
visiting this district for the first time
1--WE doubtless have a larger percentage
of paved streets In Chicago than Biz
mingham has but in passing through the
business district here and along High
land avenue l do not hesitate to say that
the paving looks cleaner and better than
that on our Chicago thoroughfares.
Birmingham Is marvellous city for
its youthful age. l would take it to be
city of 100000 population or more. In
twenty years from now 1t should have a
population of three or four hundred
thousand"

THE FARTHER HILLS.
Richard Watson Glider.

BY Richard Watson Glider.
The clouds upon the mountains rest;
A gloom is on the autumn day;
But down the valley. in the west,
The sudden sunlight breaks its way
A light lies on the farther hills
Forget thy sorrow, heart of mine!
Though shadows fall and fades the leaf.
Somewhere Is. joy, though tits not thine;
The power that sent can heal thy grief;
And light lies on the farther hills.
Thou wouldst not with the world be one
If ne'er thou knewest hurt and wrong;
Take comfort though the darkened sun
Never again bring CLEAN or song
The light Les on the farther hills.

The Iron Market.

THE Birmingham iron market is about
to take jump, said a man connected
with the iron trade.
at is hardening at $14 and there is ev-
cry indication that 1t will advance to Sl5
before the end of next week. Consumers
will be elamoring for foundry iron and
there is comparatively little of it in sight.
| would rather see a firm market at SIS
than an excited market at SIG or SIS, but
1t would not surprise me If the Birmng-
ham product brought SIG or SIT within the
next few weeks

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
A man can buy experience, but it Is
never any use to him.
1t is not fair to blame all the idiocies of
life on college education.
IL 1t was public scandal to go TO
church pew tickets would sell for $40 a
sermon.
AS long as a man wins in the stock
market we call him Spectator, but
when he goes broke, gambler.
The world is made up of two kinds of
men-those who can't earn their livngs
and those who have to do 1t for about
dozen others.

mittee has also asked for dollar sub
scriptions, but at this point in the dol
lar business doubts creep in. The
reader wonders why party that re.
fused to pass any of the bills prohibit
ing campaign contributions from cor
porations, should be asking for dollar
gifts. 1t left the door open to the cor
Dorations, and the appeal for dollar
gifts may be but a blind, a piece of
strategy Then, too, the republican
party has decided to hold fast to the
Dingley tariff-to maintain the stand
pat policy. This means that the bene-
ficiaries of Dingleyism will pour in
money to elect republican Congress-
men.
Hypocritieal as the appeal of the re-
publican congressional committee I'M
doubtedly is. yet 1t has a good sound,
and it goes to show that the party
which bought three presidential cleo
tions recognizes the change in public
sentiment The time is fast coming
when small gifts from the many will
take the place of large gifts from the
few, and when that day comes Priv
ilege will be sent to the rear and the
People with a big p will stand in the
limellght after an absence covering
well-nigh half a century.

We beg your indulgence in offering
this chestnut in new rhythmic burr:
When the surgeons informed him that
they
Must take his appendix away
That his one chance for life
Lay in using the knife
For time in reflection he lay.
Then replied that if they didn't care
He would fain have minister there :;
Not because he'd fear
That his last end was near,
But he'd like to be opened with
prayer.
A chronic debtor was old Daniel
Brown
He'd rather lose leg than pay a
bill.
His name was booked at every store in
town;
His cash but rarely clinked in
merchants till.
He owed the butcher and the baker,
and
The doctor sought in vain to get his
dues.
The village tailor held his note of
hand,
The cobbler dunned him oft for
price of shoes,
And when he breathed his last his GO
ing was
Received without feeling OF re-
gret;
Indeed, his neighbors all felt glad be
cause
He was compelled to pay the final
debt.

A man who died hundred years ago
And entered upon the "glad new

Was given leave to visit us below,
And tour our portion Of the gay old
earth.
For weeks. and weeks-invisible. of

He made a study of our modern
ways;
Traced up the business streams from
mouth to source,
Round social circles hung by
nights and days;
Took in the clubs where husbands
congregate,
Detained down at the Office until
late.
He watched the acts of monied Chris
tians; those
Who sit in church in attitude most

Who think an hour or two of pious
Will square the sinful actions of the
week
Watched these good men in busy
marts of trade
And speculation, saw the evidence

fence;
And saw their grins of glee at every
yank
Of sucker from the pool onto the
bank
Into the jewellers gay realms he went
Saw all the wickedness existing
there,
An hour where trust magnates had
met he spent
And heard vile scheming tricks that
curled his hair.
O'erheard the lobbyists in private
talk
With legislative lights of many a
state,
Heard wicked schemes that gave him
quite shock
In haunts where politicians congre-
gate;
Learned how the multimillionaires
secure
Their boarded wealth by robbery of
the poor.
When he returned he told st. Peter all
That he had seen, ani all that be

leads
In that direction has been rhoked

williams and Mir, Gompers.

Charleston News and Courier.
 The recent speech of Congressman John Sharp Williams, the leader of the Democrats in Congress, discussing the race question" in relation to immi- grafton, should serve as another warn ing to MT. Samuel Gompers and his followers of the American Federation of Labor, that they are in danger of driving Southern Congressmen to mass themselves in an unfriendiy attitude towards trades union legislation.
 Mir. Williams, in his temperate and strong adress, pointed out that the race problem would at least be robbed of many of it's perils by the coming into the South of white settlers in con siderable numbers, and he expressed himself In positive terms as favoring the endeavors of Southern States to induce immigration for that reason.
 The natural bent of Southern Con gressmen is kindly towards organized labor, The South has been, as com pared to the North, so poor that South ern men have had fellow feeling with all those struggling against the domi- Representatives and Senators who are known to speak especially for capital have obtained little sympathy or said from Southerners. We fancy, however that MT. John Sharp Williams. if he observes the influence of the great la bor organizations having perhaps 95 per cent of their strength outside Of the South, exerted to hinder Southern progress, will be lukewarm to appeals of organized labor for Democratic sup port if he should not be disposed to retailiate by open opposition to them. With few exceptions Southern Con- gressmen would adopt a similar course. Especially ,woul dthey be emboldened to this by the unanswerable argument that any policy ending to exclude the settlement of white men in the South also tends to press down the wage scale in all kinds of employment, and therefore, is unfriendly to the white laborers of the South.
 The hope Is that MT. Gompers and his associates will corpe to their senses in this matter. that they may perceive that Southern labor conditions have at present nothing in common with those in the North and, that the deyelopment of the South by the admission of a large body of white laborers will bring industrial emancipation to those white wage earners who are now so small minority in the South that the wage rate is practically fixed bX the negroes: If they shut their eyes to the tacts or the situation and insist upon legtsla- tion that will bar immigrants from the South, they will challenge the South to array itself against them The comments which we reproduce today from The Chicago Tribune, should bring to Mir. Gompers this view or the immigration question, and should make him cautious lest foolishly and needless- ly he irritate Southern Congressmen into assuming a position of hostility to which. ordinarily, they could not pos slbly incline.
