DOESN'T LIkT EDWARD.

The Sacramento Bee is not very high hedge a king" even though that king is Albert Edward of England. What. 1t asks. has Albert Edward ever done for the world for humanity, for civili- zation. for literature, for anything worth the doing and the working for? What thing cleanly to benefit mankind Has not everything that Albert Ed ward has ever done tended to degrade manhood, and even more to shame wo- manhood? Would any good man. much less any good woman, consider it an honor" to be introduced to him if it were not for the mere accident that he happens to be King of Engiand?"
 Plainly The Bee has but an indiffer- ent opinion of Edward. for it declares that if there was any honor in the fact that Mark Twain was received" by the King it was the latter who was honored. not the American. The Bee evidently" Iails to reflect that it is more frequently the position than the occupant who is hon. ored by good and sensible people. There have been Presidents of the United States who commanded but slight re- spect of many thousands of citizens. yet good people honored and deferred to them because they were the occu pants of an honorable position in ne Government, and we may assume that it is the same way fin the case of royal personages. Difference is paid to the throne and what 1t stands for, not to the one who may occupy it for the time being.
 We presume that Edward is neither better nor worse than some who have preceded him, nor than some who will follow him. He had the reputation of being a gay old boy before he suc' ceeded to his high position, and 1t is not likely that he has so entirely

NEWSPAPER NOTES.

One of the neatest and most at- tractive looking papers which reaches our table is The Farmers Union Guide, published at Birmingham. It is the organ of that organization. and confines itself strictly to matters con- order. So far as we have been able to discover, from a close perusal of its interesting columns. it eschews poli- tics, and, if this course is pursued by the organization to the end, there is no reason why it should not have a long and useful life.
 MT. John w. Davis of Tuscumbia owns two papers, both weekly, The Tuscumbia Dispatch and The Tuscum- bia North Alabamian. The latter he proposes to sell, instead of doing as most men under similar circumstances would do. merging them and publishing one paper. The North Alabamian has a record of more than three-quarters of a century. making it one of the oldest papers in the State. MT. Davis an- nounces that if he does not find a pur- chaser for The North Alabamian, Ae will consolidate it with The Dispatch, In that event, we make bold to suggest that he retain the name of the old paper for the combined publication. The North Alabamian has been too long in the newspaper fold to have it drop out. It is part of the history of the State. It will add to its value as piece of property to show that in spite of hard times, war and panics, it has been able to survive them all.
 The New Decatur Advertiser is pub lished by one O. the best business men in t>be newspaper business in Alabama. H announces that conditions are such as to cost of paper and everything con- nected with the publishing business as to make 1t necessary to raise the sub scription price to s1.50. MT. Hildreth IS correct in his proposition. and other weekly papers will rave to follow his example.
 The Elba Clipper, al~'ays favorite in this office. introduces in its last issue MT. S Fielder as one of the edi- tors and proprietors of the paper. The Clipper. under MT. M. $. Carmichael, has been well and prudently managed, but from all that is said of MT, Fielder, he will add to the paper'S influence and usefulness. He has been engaged for some years in editing and publishing a paper in Georgia. and We welcome him to Alabama.

changed as to bs worthy of . place among the saints. As to Mark Twain. strong and sensible as he is. he only followed the example of thousands of other good citizens. many of whom seem to think that an invitation from any royal family is the limit of all earthly blessings. If Mark was invited to visit the King without having low cred himself by schemins for the invi- tation. he lost nothing by accepting.
 The truth is that there is no little tommyrot exhibited on both sides of question of this kind. There are those who appear to think that any one who Is so fortunate as to be the recipient of an invitation from a royal parsonage is a person to be envied. venerated and
 almost worshipped ever afterwards. On the other hand. are .o be found some themselves and the country by accept ing any notice or favors from royalty. Neither side Is right in the view thus taken. An independent and creditable representative of the United States is neither honored nor dishonored by royal attention. but 1t is possible for one to discredit himself and his people by the manner in which he receives such at tention. The Bee tries so hard to be straight that 1t leans the other way.

THE NEW SUN STORY.

The New York Mail is in a quandary over the alleged discovery by a promi- nent minister of New York that the sun is really the hell referred to in the Bible. the loSal situation of which has been the subject of SO much cons-o- versy. It's predicament arises from the belief that the world and the people thereof are growing better and it wants that improvement to continue. but in that case there will be fewer wicked to die. and, consequently. less fuel for the sun. If the sun is the place where the wicked are consumed, and the sup ply of wicked continues to decrease. the natural consequence will be that the heat of the great planet cannot be maintained and 1t will finally be a frozen mass. Refecting on this. The Mail says:
 There is a serious question for the re- formers who are making the world good nowadays. Mrs Eddy with her regener- ating church: MT. Carnegie with his libra ries and peace congresses: MT. Rockefeller with his donations to the University of Chicago: the incessant labors of the pulpit; the reformatory influence of modern jour nalism: the removal of graft from national and city affairs: the emigration of Croker to England: the purification of our cor porations and other business organizations all these influences are tending to cut orr the fuel supply for the solar inferno
 If a matter of this kind may be dis cussed without shadow or intention of irreverence, we feel constrained to bay that the reasoning of The Mail Is not altogether consistent. It argues that the unusually cold spring weather was caused by the lack of sun fuel. but if that is true. how are we to account for the great heat that has fallen n us lately? There has not. SO far as we are aware, been any unusual mor- tality among the wicked which would cause almost unprecedented heat in some sections, as the records show has been the case We have not seen the details or diagrams of the New York mans discovery and don't know how he goes about reconciling the weather variations. but perhaps he has 1t all down pat in his mind. In one respect he has the doubters on the hip. for no one who goes to the sun to inves- tigate will be likely to return. so that his theory is not easy to disprove. This New York mans alleged dis ic of ho of "a kind with which people are regaled for a time For ages the wise men and the astronomers have studied the sun in the hope of finding out something de l. nite regarding it's nature and constitu- are much wiser now than men were centuries ago. The trouble is to prove or disprove anything that may be as- serted concerning any world but our own-and there are some things about it that we are not sure of. If one should assert, as some of the ancients did. that the moon is made of cheese he could defy another to disprove it. In fact. when we read of these theories and beliefs we are always reminded of an old coon song that we heard long ago, the first verse of which was like this:
 Dis world is made of mud from de bot tom of de river
 De moons green cheese as you all may diskiver;
 De suns fox-fire an it alters keeps gwyip
 l De world stands still, but de stars
 keeps a-f1yin'.

The grammatical epidermis of the Schoolmaster-otherw The Norfolk Landmark-has suffered another sting, and it thus makes moan:
 We have fought hard against the use of the incorrect form. 'forecasted." fin the columns of The Landmark. but when we see The Boston Transcript. The New York Evening Post. and The Charlotte Observer employing it in the most shameless manner We feel almost like giving up the struggle Nobody would say "casted" for east" and yet ninety nine persons In a hundred will say "forecasted" instead of "forecast'' when referring to past completed action
 The Landmark may as well possess it's soul in place. The newspaper fra ternity is composed of hard headed lot and if our contemporary is wise, it will not stand on the track to be run over

 Atlanta. Ga, July 13. 1907. Editor The Advertiser:
 As to the matter of rates to the Bap- tist State Convention, allow me to say through your columns that I have been officially informed here today. that the question of rates was on the 11th inst. referred to the several railroads oper- ating in Alabama for adjustment this course being found necessary by re- cent legislation effecjng these rates. This makes 1t impossible for me to hear from the railroads and announce rates before the 18th. While the offi cials of the Southeastern Passenger As sociation here could name no rates they assured me that the agents of the different lipes in teh State would be ordered to make special rates to per sons attending the 't'"n.

The shipment consisted of 20 tons which averaged 1874 per cent copper, amounting to 92.76$ per ton. There is now great activity at the mines and regular shipments will soon be rolling in to the smelters. Work will be pushed on the copper shaft, as well as the gold shaft. Both department of the company are advancing with ex- ceedingly encouraging results and the Gold Belt is the only company in the Clifton Morenci district that can boast of good showings in both copper and gold, the copper and gold coming from different mines. During the past week 4l6 ore sacks have been pur- chased and shipped to the mines which will be used for the sacking of the rich gold ore already on the dump. The shipment will be made to Fl Paso slnelters as soon as carload is sacked when it is expected that the company will be in a position to make public a hattering eport.-Clifton Copper Era.

Kansas Prohibition Which Will Pro-
 hibit

Topeka, April 23.-Attorney General F. $. Jackson by securing an injunc. tion against nine foreign brewing com panies to prevent their owning prop erty and operating saloons, in obtain ing an order for the appointment of receivers for the brewers property, has taken the most effective measure that has ever been invoked to enforce the prohibitory law in Kansas. He in- tends to push the crusade to an active conclusion.
 Today in an interview he said: "When the receiver is named, he will proceed to locate and take under con- trol all the property of the defendants found in this state. He will thus be able to state the place where defend ants are carrying on business in Kan SaS.
 ''The property is to be sold and out of the proceeds the court will pay all costs and damages due the state. If necessary the governor will send the militia to enforce order and the de- fendants will pay the bill. It will not be necessary to do this"
 The brewers property in Kansas consists of warehouses and saloon fix lures valued at many thousands of dollars.

Benson Shelter Changes Hands

The Cochise County Press says that for some time past work of clearing all indebtedness on the Benson shelter plant has been put forth with the re- suit that today the property stands clear of any and all debts whatever. The owners, the Southwestern Smelt- ing Co. have disposed of and turned over all the holdings with clear ti- tie to the Boston x Arizona Smelling company, and is matter of record. The people composing the new com- pany are among the wealthiest men of Boston and New York, men of busi- ness reputation. The company is in- corporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, with capital stock of 2,- 5OO,OOOS, divided into 25,OOO shares of the par value of 1O0$. There is no preferred stock. Actual work of put ting the shelter in shape will com- mence very soon.

Copper Gossip.

The Rothschilds have purchased the Beatson group of copper mines on the southern shore of La Touche island, Prince William Sound, Alaska, agree ing to give, it is claimed, 5000, ,OOO$, the greatest sum ever paid for single mining property in the north. The mine has been shipping regularly from 5O,OOOS to 75,OOO$ worth of ore per month.
 The Anaconda mine at Butte, Mon- tana, is the largest single producer of copper in the world, leading the Calu- met and Hecla of Michigan. Anacon- da is selling on the Boston market at selling at S60$. At first sight one would be led to believe that the latter was much the more valuable stock of he two. It is true that it is little higher priced, but not so very much when capitalization is considered. Calum ct and Hecla has only 100000 shares of capital stock, the par value of which is 25S per share, or 2,5OO,OOO$ for the whole. Anaconda has one million two hundred thousand shares of capital stock, the par value of which is 25$ per share, making it's to- tai capil alization 3O,O00,O ,O00S, as against only 2,5OO, ,O0O$ for Calumet and Hecla, twelve times as much as the latter. Relatively, Anaconda is worth 72O$ a share compared with S6O$ for Calumet and Hecla.
 In the matter of dividends Anaconda is well up with the big Michigan mine. Far the year 1906 Calumet and Hecla paid 1000, ,OOO$ in dividends and Ana conda paid 6,9OO,OO0S. If a Decent copper market prevails throughout the present year Anaconda will do better than that. It may be relied upon for not less than one hundred million pounds of copper, on which there would be an easy profit of about l6,00O, COOS of which not less than ten million would go to stock holders. An interesting fact in connection with the Anaconda is that it is the biggesJ-or believed to be-producer of silver of any mine in the world. The silver in its ore averages three ounces to the ton of rock, with from 1.75$ to 2$ in gold per ton. As the Anaconda puts out one and a half million tons of ore a year it is easy to see what a large revenue it derives from its silver and gold, outside of it's immensely large copper profits.

Cobalt, Ontario.

The estimates of the years output from Cobalt are from lO,OOO,000$ to 12, 000,000$. The Big Pete is the latest wonder of the camp. At depth of twenty-five feet ore running as high as 12,0O0 ounces silver is being sacked for shipment, and the management an- nounces that the distribution of regu- lar dividends will be instituted before the close of the year. 1t is stated that a settlement relative to the ownership of the Lawson cobalt mines has been reached, whereby John McMartin and
 other Toronto people retain a three fourths interest. Miners, prospectors and operators are said to be Hooking
 by the hundreds to the Cobalt and dis tricts to the north. All the hotels at Cobalt and Haileyburg, ten miles above, are daily crowded to their ut most capacity. An indication of the prospecting and locating activities in the Larder lake section, fifty miles to the north of Cobalt, is shown by the fact that since the first claim was staked out last August 4,O00 locations have been filed, covering an area Ot l20,0jy ucres.-Denver Mining Repor-
