No Ere, Uniform For Chief.

"But for the magDanimohs action or Police Chief Taylor said a citizen yes. terday. the ordinance authorizing the city 10 purchase nniforms for the police force would likely have failed. Ar ter the ordinance had been adopted, motion to reconsider was made on the ai ound that the chief was being paid tho full salary permitted by the char ter and the ordinance would be. vio.. lation of the charter as the chief would receive. in effect. more pay than that allowed under the charter.
 Some doubt was expressed by law. yers as to the validity of such an act. Chief Taylor. hearing this. at once went to the alderman making the motion. He indicated that the ordinance was framed for the benefit of the men and that the attitude he assumed was to improve the personnel of his force. He, therefore, as ked that any considsration affecting himself should be set aside and that such portions of the ordinance affecting the chief should be stricken out. This obviated all objections. The nrdii abce wac permanently adopted and it Is indicated that Acting Mayor Gas ton Gunter will approve 1t.
 T mention this simple to show how earnest tho head of this department Is In behalf of his men,
 Appreciatins the sacrifice made by Chief Taylor. the members of the DO. lice department are now planning 10 purchase a uniform to be presented to the chief.

How Republican Senators Used and
 Misused Democrats.
 Washington special to N. Y. Evening
 Post.
 No Democrats attended the pow vows at which a settlement on ansend- ments to the rate bill was reached, and were as disgruntled az the Republi- cans after the Presidents outsiving on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and all their talk was of "deserters."
 Private conferences on the floor were numerous today. Senator Aldrich was the busy bee humfning in the ears or other senators. He was In conference with Carter. Fulton, Long, and Crane, at back of the chamber for a time and when the conference concluded, these senators evidently had certain colleague told off with whom to confer Carter engaged Deliver, Crane took ktttredBe Fulton talked with prominent Demo- crats. Long sent a message by page out of tho chamber and tlfere were other evidences that Aldrich influence was at work.
 Meanwhile the debate was continued principally by the Democrats with an occasional inquiry propounded by Re- publican 10 stir up additional debate. Bacon was the Democrat who was querried most frequently, and his habit of discussing a subject exhaustively from a legal viewpoint fitted the Aid rich plans perfectly.

 Had you thouRrt of the fact. did you know it to be fact that the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad Compa- ny Is the largest tax payer in Alaba- ma?

spartan burg Herald.
 The Washington Star. in It's com mendable attitude towards the Morris Barnes incident, prints an editorial which clearly exposes rotten state of amairs growing out of the effort of the of Mrs. Morris from the White Houes, and the subsequent refusal of the Sem ate Postal Committee to investigate e the affair in accordance with Senator Tillman's resolution.
 The Star shows that the statement that an Asheville. N.

Selma Journal.
 In the Gadsden debate Mir. Conner asked Dr. Cunningham Would you ap- point a railroad attorney to oflceT br. Cunningham replied: .I would if he were the right man. believe in looking at what T man ia. not who he is" The reply wllI commend Dr. Cum ninRhnm to fair minded and impartial men. It will never do for public men t6 accept it as fact that all men who happen to be in the employ of rail- pads arc dishonest and unworthy of trust. There are hundreds of men who are just as earnest Tn their desire to sec railroad rates regulated in this State as Is MT. Conner. and they scould be trusted In public office Just as safely as MT. Conner or any other man who rever worked for a railroad corpora ton. We had far better lose tho rail road rate fight than accept 1t as a po- litical axiom that railroad men arc dis honest and unworthy of trust merely because they are railroad men. cer- tain amount of faith in mankind is necessary in order that the social com pact may be maintained. and the man who Is too ready to believe evil of his neighbor is apt to do more harm than good no matter how much in earnest he may be and how correct may he his Ideas on other questions.

The Headland Post argues that the farmer who never reads.is not gettins the full benefits nature intended for him.' That Is true. but the non-read- ink farmers are becoming scarcer every day. The multiplication of railroads and increased mail facilities, espe- ciaily the system of rural free delivery. ia bringing the rural population more thoroughly in touch with the outside world. and causing them 10 take in. creased interest in what Is going on, The natural effect has been to cause an increase in tho number Of newspa- per readers and n better informed farming population This will result ir a more intelligent citizenship an well as more contented country population.--two excellent advantages of better diffusion Of information.
