CAREER OF THE LATE
 JAMES STEPHEN HOGG

the nomination of George Clarke of Dal- las, as an independent deniocratic can didate for governor. The conflict was the fiercest ever waged in Texas, but thou sands of republicans voted for him. and Governor Hogg received plurality of 6o,OOO The election immediately made Governor Hogg a conspicuous man over all the United States. This was in 1892 He became one of William J. Bryan's most energetic lieutenants. His appearance at Tammany hall meeting here on July 4, 1899, was an occasion of considerable ex- citement, when he caused a great furore for Bryan at the close of his short speech. He was himself mentioned in connection with the vice presidential nomination.
 It is said that place in Alton B. Park kers possible cabinet was offered to him for his support of Parker in the demo- cratic nominating convention. He re- jected the offer.
 Though tempted to contest for the seat of Roger c. Mills in-the United states Senate he decided to retire to private practice of law, which he did, with suc- cess in Austin, Texas. Before his fatal illness began MT. Hogg weighed 375 pounds. He wore broad brmmed slouch hat twenty-two-inch collar. black broadeloth frock coat, narrow black necktie and square-toed Texas boots.
 He was a blunt and fearless man, con troversia, good story teller. careless of dress and diction, and big in many ways. Because the name of his daughter Imo- gene was familiarly shortened to 1ma it has been told derisively that he deiber- ately played upon his own name with the first names of his children. On the con trary his three sons were called William, Thomas and Michael. His wife was Miss Sallle A. Stinson, daughter of Colonel James IA Stnson. of Georgia.

N oW doth the gentle sprlngtlme ap- Pl proach with newer-laden breath.
 and the city man with poesy in his soul looks forward to Sunday after nodns when he will wander freely over hill and dale plucking here violet, there a spray of dogwood, all the while communing with Nature at her best. His heart beats high with hope. He can scarce restrain his eager steps until the first lush days arrive, with their promise of fecundity and whispers of languid sum- mer. When the flowers gin to bloom, then will he saunter forth from his stuffy boarding house and, via trolley, wend his way to the mountains. There and thereabouts he will wander till the sun set. climbing gaily over boulders, leap ing ditches with all the abandon of a mountain goat and disporting himself as one of Natures children. Night will descend gently as night can only do in the spring and he will journey weariy back to town. Once more in his six-by ten apartment he will sit him down and bathe his aching feet, ever and anon applying salve to his burning corns. His back will ache, his head will ache and his arms will hang Imply by hls side as his head sinks low upon his chest. The next morning he will get up feeling fit to kill, but what is physical discomfort In comparison with the wild wooing of Nature on a Sunday afternoon in spring time?

Gambling Crusade.

If our present laws are sustained by the courts when the test is made, the city of Birmingham will be entirely rid of the gambling evil for all time to come said Police Chief Wler last night.
 The police department is already re- eeiving requests from departments in other cities for copies of our new laws, and these are being furnished. City At torney Edward D. Smith tells me that similar laws were sent to the United S. tes supreme court from California and that tribunal sustained the laws
 Several defendants convicted under the new laws have already appealed to the criminal court of Jefferson county, and this means that the laws are to be finally tested in our supreme court. -

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 As long as girl can get engaged she is willing to have others get married.
 II makes a wife awful proud to have her husband run for some office and get beaten.
 Women call il q scandal when q man is SD nice to his wife as to arouse suspi- con that he isn't sincere.
 If children could inherit brains the, way they do red hair they would hare an easier time in the world.
 A girl is pretty sure she loves a man when she doesn't enjoy flirting with some body else as much as she though ne would.

Looking to Mr. Hughes.

The New York democrats seem to have abandoned conservative lines-to have repudiated the control of con servative men like August Belmont and Thomas F. Ryan altogether-and to have accepted Editor Hearst as a leader. This al least is the case with the rank and file, and if in state con- vention MT. Hearst should be rejected as candidate for governor, he pro- poses to become an independent can didate, as he did last fall In the mayor alty race in New York city The army of discontents in all the northern states is very large, and MT. Hearst's candi- 7 dacy in any form is considered alarm ing to the Rogerses and HaTimans of Wall street.
 In their desperation with defeat staring them in the face, the republi- cans of New York are turning to Charles E. Hughes as the only man who can avert disaster to their party. Even the plutocrats of Wall street will accept Hughes in preference to Hearst, not that they love Hughes but they fear Hearst. The bosses and the ma chine are simply perplexed, not know ing which way to turn or what to do.
 MT. Hughes has plenty of courage and capacity, but can he afford, says the independent New York Evening Post to sand for the grave undoing which rests on evidence drawn out by his own searching cross-examination? The Evening Post furnishes particu- lars, as follows;
 Senator Platt was blaekmaling the corporations for campaign funds, but no republican official no republican club, no republican politician Of prominence, has dared to utter a word against Platt. Senator Depew was taking S20,OOO year from the polieyholders of the Equitable for services no more valuable than might
 
 resolution of Senator Bracket requesting Depew's resignation received but one vote. Odell as governor was using his official position as debt-colecting agency; he was holding oyer concern which owed him money the threat of hostile legislation; but Odell is still chair man of the state committee. Hendricks Is convicted of the grossest neglect of duty as superintendent of insurance. but the puslllanimous Higgins has not dared to touch him. The assembly, to be sure, has been reformed" with a new speaker: and somG excellent men have been put al the heads of committees but the sen a te still hesitates to probe the banking department under Superintendent I<il- burn: and Speaker Wadsworth himself, the exponent of clean politics." is exert ing his influence to prevent a review Of the accusations against Justice Warren B. Hooker"
 These things are known of all men In New York, and most of them were established in an official manner by MT. Hughes. He cannot represent the republican party and the record he has made at one time. He cannot defend the republican party, the party of the plutocrats and of rottenness. He cannot because of the contradictions between his own career and the republican party save the latter from defeat.

DIFFICULTIES.

DIFFICULTIES. It's hard to make a little man Seem lofty and sublime; It's hard to dodge the stumbling blocks And stay good all the time It's hard to keep the neighbors from Observing what you do, It's hard to find some honest men, For they are rather few. It's hard to keep from grating when The chances are so great, It's hard to put dollar in The church collection plate. It's hard to be a married man, With salaries so small, It's hard to be bachelor AEe never wed at all. It's hard to do the things we should, It's hard to work all day, It's hard to build up credit now And harder still to pay. It's hard to stand against the jolts That take up by surprise, But hardest task of all, I wis, Is not to criticise. This column will have special corres- pondents at Moshat and Kosh, Alabama.

Grows Rapidly.

Birmingham appears to me to be the fastest growing city in the entire coun- try" said John B. Williams at the Hill man last night MT. Williams is a New York newspaper man. and his business eompels him to travel almost continu- ously.
 ''I come to Birmingham about this time every year, looking after our circulation, and l am in d position to judge of the growth and prosperity of this district. Birmingham reminds me in many ways oe Pittsburg and it is my belief that 1t is only matter of time before this city will supplant Pittsburg as the centre of the steel and iron industry in this coun- try.
 Birmingham has all the natural ad- vantages, and Pittsburg has very few. All the raw materials are right at Birming- hams door, while Pittsburg has to ob- tain it's minerals from scattered parts of the country. II will not be for very many years yet, but eventually Birming- ham will be the Pittsburg of America"
