MIR. POLLOK'S LETTER.

From the Cullman Democrat.
 A letter from Hon. Ignatius Pollak to the republican and independent voters of the Seventh congressional district appears in this issue. While we believe all repub- licans are wrong in their ideas of gov ernment and that the democrats are gen. orally right, MT. Pollak's letter Is the best document we have read from a re- publican.
 MT. Pollak seeks the republican nomina- ton for Congress, and while this Is none of our business, we believe him head and shoulders above his fellow republicans who have been picturing him as a Little Dutchman from Cullman, who can't speak English We have known MT. Pol lak many years; he is one of the best educated men in the state, he speaks the most perfect English, also German, French, Italian and Latin. If the parties who have used influence or money to get matter derogatory to Mr. Pollak published in the newspapers of Birmingham were in any sense his equal, they would be above such petty jealousies as is shown in the articles.
 As democrat and publisher of a dem ocratic paper we are opposed to the elec- tion of a republican to office, but as a fellow townsman and a friend of Mir. Pollak we demand a square deal for him.

complaints are made over the size of the debt. The annual interest charge is $227, T1, ,491.
 So great an interest charge, to- gether with heavy army and navy ex- penses, renders the task of keeping French revenues up to the needs of the country difficult A deficit of s50,- O0O,000 is looked for ths year, and the government says the money should come out of the pockets of those who nave large incomes. Taxation is al ready heavy, and the radicals say that an income tax is the best solution of fiscal troubles. If the proposed tax is lad by parliament, and it proves fruit full, no doubt the Bloc" will next de- mand the long-promised old-age pen sions. The country is fully in the hands of radicals, and the conserva- tive groups are scarcely recognized. All told, they are not numerous.

TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
Mills Thompson Meets Formidable
 Story Teller.

From the Washington Post.
 There's a human being in Washington who can tell you more about the travels he never took than a fisherman can about the fish he never caught.
 He Is what may be called Christian Science traveller, only his imaginary ex- periences are handed out in good old fashioned allopathic doses.
 Mills Thompson came across this walk ing Baedeker yesterday morning on F. street and Mir. Thompson only wishes now he had not. The dose came near be- ing too much for the artists constitu- tion-which only goes to show that 1t takes something more substantial than conversation to tickle an artists palate.

 "What you want Is the Zoo." thought MT. Thompson, whose eyes are ever alert to see a joke. Just go straight ahead until you come to the presidents stables- then cross the street there you are."
 "rll surely find it," said the stranger, with thanks; "a good traveller never loses his way.'
 This was MT. Thompson's cut. ''So you are a traveller. are you?"
 That isn't the word for it," proudly answered the other; ''the fact is, there isn't a single spot on the globe I have not visited I've scaled the Alps, been buried in the lava of Mount Vesuvius. suffocated in the fogs of London, dined with African chiefs and South American presidents, hunted gold In Alaska, cor nered the ice market in Greenland, fed the Hons of St. Marks, and-'

lowa's Peculiar Campaign.

Dingleyism is before the republi cans of Iowa as an issue, and it is warm issue at that. Governor Cum mins is a candidate for a third term, and he stands for revision all along the line. He is opposed by Editor Perkins of Sioux City, who Is stand batter and a supporter of MT. Shaw for president. It Is believed that Gov. ernor Cummins will be winner In the convention, for the Iowa republi- cans have not yet adopted primaries. The contest is, however, close and ex- citing, and neither side feels sure of victory.
 Secretary Shaw Is stumping the state in Perkins behalf, and In some way the impression was made that he came as the representative of the President. MT. Shaw himself declared Chat his standpat policy was endorsed by the President. This drew from the White House a distinct disclaimer, and the Iowa republicans know now that the President stands neutral in the Iowa contest. He favors neither Cummings nor Perkins. He simply proposes to keep out of the Iowa fight.
 In no state have the republicans spoken out more plainly in favor of revised tariff than they have in Iowa. The lines have been drawn, and the contest will go on to a conclusion either for or against Dingleyism.

Secretary Wilson's Lonq Term.

James Wilson of Iowa, formerly a member of Congress, became secretary of agriculture when President McKin- ley formed his first cabinet on March 4, 1897, and he has held the post ever since, despite the cotton estimate leaks and inefficient inspections of the packing houses in Packngtown. He is a spry old gentleman, almost as much SO as Speaker Cannon, and he may weather the meat-inspection storm. Some think, however, he will not be able to do so, and that he must at length make room for successor.
 MT. Wilson has already exceeded William H. Crawford's term of eight years and four months at the head of the treasury department. MT. Craw- ford was a Georgian, and he served under both Madison and Monroe. MT Wilson has but the term of Albert Gal 
 latin to outdo at present in order to gain the distinction of the longest service as a cabinet officer. But MT Wilson cannot reasonable hope to equal Gallatin's term, for to do that he would have to hold out until Decem- ber 1, 1909 At that time a democrat will occupy the White House. and MT. Wilson certainly will not then lee the secretary of agriculture. Mr. Gallatin served over twelve years, when he de- clined further service in the cabinet, preferring to represent the United States in other countries, and finally becoming a banker in New York city.

BRYAN AND LINCOLN.
From the Washington Post

From the Washington Post.
 Bryan is much like Lincoln in many ways said former Governor William Pitt Kellogg of Louisiana. at the Shore ham last evening. He knew both men well, is the last surviving elector on the Lincoln ticket in 1860, and Lincoln made speeches fin support of his candidacy for the legislature of Illinois way back in '5S. His appointment as collector of the port of New Orleans was signed by Lin- coin the day before the latter died.
 II have noticed in hearing Bryan speak in public, and in talking to him, that he uses the same sort of epigrammatic ex- pressions that Lincoln used' the governor continued. He has the same way of find ing the hearts of the people. He Is just as earnest and sincere, and has something of Lincoln's depth. He is d handsomer man, and a far more eloquent, though not more impressive. I verify believe he will yet be President.
 "It was during his debates with Douglas that Lincoln seconded my cause in 1858. He was running for the Senate against the Little Giant and debated with him every ten days until the sixth meeting had been concluded In the meantime he made speeches for his candidates for the legislature. He came to Fulton county. and at the county seat we had big meet ing, and I sat on the platform with him as he addressed the crowd. He told very funny anecdotes as he portrayed his more serious thoughts. and was most popular talker. But was running in a democratic county. and lost by 97 votes"

Guardinq the Gulf Coast.

The quarantine bill has passed both houses, after prolonged stay in conference committee. The bill is credit to a republican Congress, for it relates to and protects districts that are represented by democrats.
 The bill provides for maratime quar- antine only, and $500,OO0 is voted by 1t to the uses of the Marine Hospital service along the gulf coast. As passed the bill lacks section 2, pre- sented by Judge Richardson, which would have permitted passenger reg ularly started from an infected point to go through state in a railroad car.
 The truth is, the bill encountered op- position of various sorts. The state boards of health dislike it, and they dealt it many a blow. All extreme states rights men stood against sec ton 2, because it enabled passengers to cross a state without the states consent, and Texas fought the bill be- cause 1t desired to manipulate quaran- tine affairs to build up trade.
 So far as the public health is con- cerned section 2 is not essential. That section would have lessened the hard ships of epidemics, and there was no reason why it should not have been retained. It was stricken out In order to remove opposition to the bill and to enable the conferees to agree upon a report.
 Louisiana claims credit for the pass age of the bill, and no doubt the claim is good It Is to be hoped the admin istration and Louisiana will speedily cooperate in pulling the bill into ef- feet. for it does not come too late to be operative and perhaps beneficial this season.

French Income Tax.

The radical-socialists control the chamber of deputies. and the govern ment has decided to lay before the chamber at an early date an income tax bill. The demand for it has grown in exact proportion as the radical strength in France has grown. The control of both the senate and the chamber is in radical hands, and no one at present anticipates turn of the tide. The Bloc" demands not only complete separation of church and state, but also an income tax.
 The truth is, the government needs more income. The French debt now stands at the stupendous total of s6.- 75,000, ,000-over six billion dollars, or over six times the size of the debt of the United States. The interest rate ranges from three to three and a half per cent, and no attempt is made to cut the interest rate down to two per cent. chiefly because the debt IS ah held at home. This is why no

Piq Iron Production.

The coke and anthracite stacks turned out in May 2,09S,746 tons of pig iron, as against 2,073,222 tons in April. This is not an increase in production because May is a month of thirty-one days.
 Great as production is, consumption keeps step with it, or very nearly so. On June 1 the south was carryN1g but little over 100,0 ,000 tons. The addi- tion to stocks in the south was less than 5000 tons. Accumulations else Were were light.
 Just as soon as the size of the crops of wheat. corn and cotton can be as- certained melters will begin to buy more freely. If the three crops are large the iron market will remain strong a full year to come. The win ter wheat harvest is progressing, and crop fully up to average is antici- pated All other crops are promising.
 Stocks in foundry yards are said to be small, and large orders will cer- tainly be placed, covering needs in the last half of the year, if the crop out turns are favorable All in all, the situation is encouraging. The general market Is in a strong, healthy condi- tion, and heavy buying in the near fu- ture is anticipated.

Pleasant Siuht,

Ut is a pleasant sight to see the child ren on their pcnics listen to their laugh ter and look into their happy faces as they cheer the people on the highways" said J. Lawler Darby yesterday Forty one years ago a group of five Confed- crate Veterans from Talladega, who had stacked their muskets at Appomattox, were walking along the road in Talla- poosa county. For four years they had heard nothing but war and seen noth- ing but suffering. The charm and beauty of life had been hidden by a cloud. all though now and then glimpse of peace full nature might be seen. But 1t was only for a moment, then the hard march and battlefield. Only a soldier returning home can have any idea of the difference between the song of the musketry and the song of the children that fine morn ing as they stood by the clear waters of the Tallapoosa. They were children then, but they are mothers now, and should any of them see these line I want them to know that I am the only one left of the soldiers they met that day and to whom they were so kind"

Good Memory.

Speaking of remarkable memories" said man who had reported the loss of his watch to the police. Detective George Bodeker has one that is wonderful when 1t comes to remembering the num- bers of watches.
 Tt has been year since my watch was lost and just as a test I asked him if he had forgotten its description. Without a moments hesitation he told me its num- Der, 456,7s3, and also the make and all. He can go into pawn shop and call off a string like that without reference to a memoranda of any kind.
 From circumstances with which I am familiar I know his memory as to faces is equally as good. I think he must have some sort of a mental kodak with whic h he takes snap shots."

THE ROSARY OF YEARS.

By Father Ryan. { Some reckon their age by years. Some reckon their life by art; But some tell their days by the flow of
 their tears, And their life by the means of their
 heart. The dials of earth may show The length. not the depth, of years; Few or many they come-few or many
 they go-
 But our time is best measured by tears. An. not by the silver gray That creeps through the sunny hair. And not by the scenes that we pass on
 our way, And not by the furrows the finger Of
 care. On the forehead and face have made; Not so do we count our years; Not by the sun of the earth-but the
 shade n Of our souls and the fall of our tears. For the young are sometimes old. Though their brow Ae bright and fair; While their blood beats warm their heart
 lies cold,
 Der them the springtime-bu winter is
 there. And the old are oftimes young, When the hair Is thin and white; And they sing in age as in youth they
 sung,
 And they laugh, for their cross was

Dry Spell Broken.

''The long dry spell in Bibb county has been broken" said Bibb county man yesterday. "A most beneficient rain to the gardens and crops fell all over the county Thursday night Bibb county has been suffering from drouth for several weeks and rain was prayed for by many ducers.
 "The prospects for a large corn crop in my section are good, but the cotton plants are very small for this time of year, being stunted by the continued drouth."

Real Melodies.

"One of the last places in town that one would expect to hear music" said a po- liceman. lis the very place where some genuine melodies may be heard. It is the city jail. I was standing by the warden s office in the alley yesterday when num- Der of negro women prisoners, standing at a window on the second floor, began sing ing some old-time hymns. Every one knows that in the negro's voice, when it rises from the cotton field, there Is a pe- cular quality-a pathos that Is very sweet. But the music that these women made, grouped around the bars as they were, and singing out into the alley, was more weird and sweeter still.
 'I suppose the setting heightened the effect. Opposite the window at which they were standing there is a blind alley run ming to the back of negro restaurant. In the afternoons a crowd of habitues take air, smoke and talk. These form the audience, which dreamily listens to the song of the jail birls. To them 1t is as good as a grand opera an Il Trovatere. with the Misere' sung like the vail of a lost soul and the part acted out to the life"

Birmingham Boys at College.

T think more Birmingham boys are going off to college this fall than ever before,' said a college graduate last night.
 About six High school boys are going down to the University of Alabama, while Auburn will also get several. A number from both the public and private schools of this city will go to colleges, and uni versailles in various parts of the coun- try.
 Tn this connection it is interesting to note that more boys are seeking college education now than formerly. It is large ly result of the increased attention that is being paid to preparatory and Sec ondary schools, which are bridges between the grammar schools and colleges

1 HE machinery of government at 9 Washington was thrown out of
 gear by the antics of festive aeronaut who sailed around the. Wash ington monument. cavorted over the cap- itol and frisked around the White House with a cheerful disregard of consequences Everybody was thrown into excitement and the populace looked on in awe, but it will not be long before airships will cease to attract attention. In a few years, it is safe to assume. airship accidents in passenger traffic will become of fre- quent occurrence, the sailing dates of trans-oceanic ships will be published daily and aerial airship lines will be in the hands of a new order of magnates who await the oportunity which the future holds in store. Then will come aerial races and aerial chauffeurs who will do them selves proud in smashing speed records. Those will be blithesome days, tho mans s tenure on life will be a slender one and airship collisions will spill many un- lucky mortals earthward.
