A neu.,ou of Churches.

Scattered throughout. this State, there were a number Of Cumnerland Presbyterian Churches yesterday, said q prominent Montgomery churcnmanf
 but today these same churches are or the Northern Presbyterian faith.
 By act of the General Assembly Of the Presbyterian Church in the united States and the General Assembly Of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, tne union of the two churches was enecfeo. Prominent men in both churches have worked and prayed for many years that q reunion of these branches of the Presbyterian Church might be consum- mated. and now that the last obstacle has been removed and their hope IS re- alized, there Is general rejoicing.
 The beautiful little house of wor- ship on the corner of Church ana Ca- toma Streets, which was yesterday the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Montgomery, is today the Northern Presbyterian Church-with the same pastor and the same people.
 Possibly the union or these two churches. complicates matters to some extent, so far as the Northern and the Southern Presbyterian Churches are concerned, yet 1t Is realized that every step, taken in the directions Of union and reunion IS a step in the direction of the ultimate consolidation Of every branch and faction into one, and only one Presbyterian Church.

 There is nothing in the action of the State Executive Committee to prevent any aspirant for the United States Senate from running against the pres ent Senators.

A splendid article appeared in The Advertiser of yesterday headed "A few facts" It was written by Mrs
 l. M E. Blandin of Houston, Tex as. It disposes of the idea so prev alent in the North of the backward ness of people of the South in educa- tional matters and shows that higher female education had a foothold In Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi long before there was any movement in that direction in the Eastern States. The article is worthy of the widest cir culation.

Two Kinds of Courage.

Savannah News.
 Former President Cleveland had the courage to do what he thought was right. President Roosevelt has the courage. to express his sentiments when he thinks he is right, but not always does he support his opinion by acts It is stated that just before the rail way rate bill reached the point where epithets were hurled from the White House and from the Senate chambef the President wrote to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Pensions pretty sharp letter. in which he call ed attention to the fact that he had the veto power. and might be compelled to use 1t unless greater care was exer cised in granting applications for pen stons. It seems that pension bills were being sent to him in such numbers that he began to fear there would be general outcry against pension legisla- ton. as there was a few years ago. Already this Congress has passed more than 2,000 special pension bills. and # is expected the number will reach 3'O09 before final adjournment.
 wasn't at all alarmed by the attitude of the President. On the contrary, he told him that the committee was using due care-much more care than the tiring officers of the army in order to advance hls friends and favorites.. The chairman said there were now 2S0 hrlgadier generals on the retired list and that this number of the active list was two more than the law per mtted. He also told him, so the story goes. that there were 103 rear admirals on the retired list and only twenty four on tha active Hat. counting bh-

Lower Insurance Rates.

The fire insurance companies have been playing with Montgomery long enough in regard to cheaper fire insur- ance rates" said Montgomery prop erty owner yesterday. The Mayor IS right in his efforts to have the South eastern Tariff Association carry out it's agreement.
 This matter has been hanging fire for two years. The city has come up to its agreement to put Montgomery on 8 first-class basis and still we can get no concessions from the association;
 'It's nonsense for the tarin associa- ton to talk about the high license the fire insurance companies have to pay in Montgomery. and giving nss.tf that h,ss as basis rate Their rate hasn't a thing to do with the license. In other lines of business. if the license is too high, peoples don't engage in 1t. And, fur thermoxe. if the license did effect the rate, 1 am informed that the tarin as- sociation has declined to sign an agree ment for a reduction in rates, provided the license was reasonably decreased.

investigation was begun. preparations made for prosecuting the trust. and in various other ways it became plain to the American Ice Company that the people would not stand such outrage ous imposition as It proposed. The consequence was that In very short while the price of Ice war put at thir- ty cents a hundred and notice given that 1t would be sold in small auan- titles to suit customers. There were some very prominent politicians. and even some officials. concerned in this trust. and they were not long about realizing that they had made seri- ous mistake. It was lesson quickly learned and promptly needed.
 People living in the country where they have wells and springs of pure cold water have little conception of | the necessity of ice In large city. It is not only that the water is not drinkable without it. but that it is 1 indispensable In keeping milk. butter. fresh meats, vegetables. fruits and va rious other articles which the city peo- pie have no means of preserving from day to day with artificial cooling. If great city should be entirely shut off from all the breezes from any di- rection they would not suffer as much as they would If the ice supply were taken from them. It Is not merely a matter of comfort but of health. for a liberal supply of ice in city does much to diminish the death rate, es- pecially among the children. It Is not to be wondered at if any attempt 70 lock up the supply should cause gem erai protest. If people in such cases should resort to actual violence 1t should not be surprising.

The Hartford Courant seems to think fortune played 1t rather low on secre- tary Shaw by sending Mir. Fairbanks down South as a delegate to the South ern Methodists. Both Shaw and Fair banks are supposed to be nursing pres idential aspirations, and The Courant intimates that Fairbanks scored by visiting and mixing with the Southern people, and declares that 'the Fais- bank boom is several laps ahead of the Shaw boom" Well. we can't get up any interest in the matter, one way or the other. and don't care bean If their booms wreck each other.

The published report as to payment of rebates to shippers brings to mira, said a Montgomery man yesterday. that he learned through a friend liv- ing in Los Angeles, Cal, of parties go- ing from that city to Chicago to receive in some cases as much as $5.000 paid to them in money as rebates on ship ments. The money was paid over-no checks or drafts. but the actual cash, and this compelled the long trip, as the rebate paying party would pay in no other way"
