Sueinq a Governor

Although the Central Railroad of Georgia has, in Georgia, put in force reduced passenger rates in accordance with the orders of the Georgia rail- road commission, yet it is pressing its suit in the federal courts, and it has outdone it's colleagues by an audacious attempt to make the governor of Geor- gia party to the suit to make him. the head of a sovereign state, a de- fendant Once made defendant he may be enjoined, and a soverign state would thus become subject to an in- ferior federal court
 This is a new step in the course of centralization. In the history of the country no executive of sovereign state has been made a party to suit. No executive has been enjoined. The executive is, in fact, the state so far as action is concerned. If the power of the executive be stayed or paralyzed the power of the state is stayed or paralyzed The state acts through it's executive. If the federal courts can handle at will the executive of state they can handle the state, and the rights of the states are struck down beyond recall, despite the constitu- tional provision which says that "the judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the united states" If the Central Railroad of Georgia succeeds in it's contention that provision is knocked cold.

ChiCauo's Charter Election

The charter voted on by the people of Chicago aimed to take the city out of the hands of state politicians by giving it home rule and by centraliz- ing and simplifying power in the city council. At present the parks of the city are largely controlled by the state, and the power of taxation is limited and is exercised by various bodies.
 Better though the new charter is, yet 1t was readily voted down. The off, cials who would have been voted out of office worked against 1t, and the property holder feared it's taxation pro- visions. The saloonkeepers joined them. These interests stood against municipal progress, and the old charter that does not fit a large city remains in force. Progress is whipped out by self-interest. All the newspapers ex- cept the Hearst organs supported the new charter, but they were not able to change public sentiment. The vote against the new charter was about two to one. It is irrevocably voted down and out.
 Chicago must go on under charter that a modern village would discard The city council controls neither the police nor the parks, nor has it much to say about municipal taxation. It cannot even regulate the theatres of the city. There is perpetual running to Springfield, the state capital. Under such circumstances injunctions are numerous and detested.
 But the proposed new charter was not a model instrument. The section providing for primaries had been stricken out, as had the civil service sections, and various other progressive features It is perhaps best that the new instrument was voted down, for the next charter may be one full of progressive provisions, and the people of Chicago may not lose anything through the delay imposed by the yoters on Tuesday.

cnt democratic primaries. MT. Haskell was strongly opposed by the territorial governor. Frantz, rough rider, and MT. Taft and other speakers were i'm ported to aid Frantz. The campaign was a bitter one, and the victory adds another honor to the many that Will liam Jennings Bryan has accumulated. Mr. Bryan declared the new constitu- tion the best one ever written, and he was a firm supporter of Mr Haskell
 The new state has more population according to recent government fig ures than Montana, New Mexico, Della ware, Idaho. Hawaii, Arizona, Wyo. ming. Alaska and Nevada combined had in the last census year And she has better prospects of growth than any one of them. It is scarcely reason able to say that President Roosevelt will refuse to sanction the admission of a territory-two for that matter which contains over 1,400,0 inhab- itants, simply because they are demo- cratic and have adopted a constitution that pleases them even if it did not please the peripatetic MT. Taft.

A serious i blow. as l have learned today, was the forcing of foreign lending companies to abandon the state. l heard from a re- liable source this morning that because certain capitalists of Birmingham were unable to procure funds at the rate of interest to which they were accustomed, have abandoned the erection of no less than four office buildings in Birming- ham.

Power of Extra Sessions

In calling an extra session the gov ernor may do so on short or long mo- tice at his own pleasure. He could indeed summon the members of the two houses in twenty-four hours, but the Montgomery Journal thinks they will be called together on 'the first or second Monday or Tuesday in Octo. Der"
 It is a popular mistake to think that the legislature sitting in extra session can consider the subjects only named in the governors call. Section 76 of the constitution reads as follows
 '.When the legislature shall be convened in special session, there shall be no legis- lation upon subjects other than those des- ignated in the proclamation calling such session. except by a vote of two-thirds of each house. Special sessions shall be limited to thirty days
 It will thus be seen that the two houses can, if they be so minded, pass a state prohibition bill, or any other bill even if the governor refuse to name such bill in his proclamation A two-thirds vote in each house would scarcely cover the prohibition strength in the legislature.
 The subject is one of peculiar inter- est in Jefferson county, because action on the liquor question by the legisla- ture in October would forestall action by the people of this county in No yember Verbum saD

Henry B. Gray, lieutenant governor, IS back at home after few days absence. part of which time he spent in Mont gomery on official business. Said he.
 There is nothing of political import ance worthy of comment just now. me administration and the people are at rest. Strenuous questions confront us all. and we should be conservative in our express sions and in action. Radical measures always disturb the general equilibrium. Sometimes they become necessary. They are like the refining process in gold pro- duction, but there is no use in good Ala bamians getting mad with each other be- cause they cannot. agree primarily on great big questions.

Said he Yours is a great state. I travel over it every year on the school book proposition. and am especially delighted with the interest here manifested in education
 Looks like the state is going to give something like s2.oOO,oOO per annum 10 the cause of education. and with lae counties and the cities adding 10 this fund, I cannot see why every boy and girl In the state cannot have a free 1esN. That's the way to build up state"

Babb on Prohibition.

Apropos of the diffidence of some men about expressing themselves on the pro hibition question J. B. Babb, secretary of the Commercial club, speaks firmly and unreservedly, without fear, favor or affection-wthout reward or the hope thereof Said MT. Babb. "Tel the people that I am for prohibition. if 1t is a good thing; if it is not am against it. This Is the way I stand on all question, where In the moral or the political idea is in- volved. I never hesitate to say and to do those things which seem best for the community in which I dwell, and I am sure no man will accuse me of stradling the fence.

 "Of this mileage the nine southern states have 1874 Of the southern states Alabama has 26S miles, and of Alabama Birmingham has 13o miles, or about one half the entire mileage in this state.
 ''These figures present another indica. ton of the relative growth and strength of Birmingham, and encourage the belief that within few years Birmingham will present the highest street railroad figures of any city in the south. Youngest of all today she will be strongest tomorrow

Financial improvement

The smash in copper was the chief feature of Wall street and Boston last week. It was repetition of previous copper smashes, and It comes at fhe end of another wild speculation in cop per stocks. The price of copper, once held at 26 cents, has fallen to Is cents, and the price of Amalgamated has been marked down 60 points. Copper shares are now resting quietly on the bottom, and no great harm has come from the immense liquidation.
 No one anticipates or need anticl- pate anything of similar nature in the iron and steel industry Orders are being placed for deliveries in the first quarter of 1908, and all plants that consume iron or steel are well equipped with orders. The crops, too, are coming on steadily and late frosts will round out the prospects for an other prosperous year.
 The situation is so favorable and general trade so good, reports begin to come in already of car shortages. The low foreign exchanges also give promise of return of gold imports, and this, together with the harvesting of crops, would speedily inspire conf dence In the general business situa' tion.

GOOD OLD MADEIRA.

From the Washington Herald.
 Not all of the wine sold in America and elsewhere for Madeira" is really produced in the island of Funchal. For instance, last summer wrecked Italian steamer laden with a cargo of Madeira D which was in transit to the markets of the United States. was thrown upon the shores of Funchal. The wine in the steamers hulk was direct from the vine yards of Spain and southern France Not the least interesting thing about Madeira wine Is the process by which the real ar tcle is made After having been gathered by the women and children the grapes are carried in shoulder baskets to a round wooden vat. When there Is sufficient accumulation of grapes a group of bare legged men leap in upon the mass of fruit and begin a slow treadng motion which soon gives way to a rapid backward and forward movement. generally to the ac- compartment of some musical instrument and native song As the juice is ex- tracted it is caught in hogsheads then put into goat skins and carried off to the wine stores in Funchal. The wine Is piped off into casks, stored. and subjected for several weeks to an evenly sustained degree of artificial heat Then limited quantity of spirits is introduced, and after treating and blending 1t is stored to age, In England and the United States the de- mand for genuine Madaira wine from Funchal has diminished greatly during the last century. The export to these countries has not for many years meas ured up to more than about one-fourth of what was being exported in the same direction during the Napoleonic wars, a time when the French ports were closed and all Europe had practically abandoned It's vineyards In Norway, Sweden and Russia, owing to climatic peculiarities, the well known quality of heavness which belongs to this wine still finds especial favor and these countries have econtinued to live up to their old standard of con- sumption.

 Twenty of the enemy struck; un- happily the fleet did not anchor, as Ne1- son, almost with his dying breath had enjoined. A gale came on from the southwest; some of the prizes went down, some went on shore; one effected it's es- cape into Cadiz others were destroyed; i; four only were saved and those only by the greatest exertions. The wounded Spaniards were sent ashore, an assur- ance being given that they should not serve till regularly exchanged; and the Spaniards. with a generous feeling, which would not perhaps have been found in any other people. offered the use of their hospitals for our wounded. pledging the honor of Spain that they should be care fully attended there.
