Only the other day it was necessary to rake out the grand stand at the ball grounds to obtain a quofum in the house. On another oc- oasion an afternoon tea emptied the congressional benches to the point of suspending business. Yesterday Speak on a compulsory education bill for the District of Columbia, was obliged to. send out force of policemen and ar rest the congressman found in various resorts about the capitol. If the great minds of our parlamentarians whose yeas and nays direct the course of em- pire are to function to the best ad- vantage the federal buildings will evil dently have to be moved to some se- cluded spot in the country or to some quiet city, perhaps back to Philadel- phla

There are 5.9i9,27 miles or raiIroad tracks in Alabama" said man Of a statistical turn of mind. The railroads operate 4,632.11 of main line tracks, 1,249.2S miles of yard tracks and side-- tracks, and there are 37.SS miles or double tracks in this State.
 In other words the mileage Of rafl- road tracks in Alabama would almost reach from Montgomery to New 1ork by way of San Francisco.
 Some idea of the value of this -rail- road property and the figure it cuts in our development will be gained If one calculates the money required to build and operate these 5.a0O miles of tracks and the number of men employed by the railroad companies.
