will be seriously checked by the suspen- sion of cheap money which, this state has enjoyed for some years past being driven to other parts by the recent and unusual revenue tax law on fokeign loan companies, the certain effect of which is to fall heaviest on the very people whose interest the laW-makers purport to be guarding and trying to serve, but which action if not repealed will bring distress of a far reaching nature upon thousands of farmers who have loans on their farms and only means of support and others on homes, and yet others on investment properties on which loans were placed to push forward other Improvements and developments, when many of these people who would never have borrowed but for the well founded impression at the time that they could renew their loans at pleasure on the same low rates of interest that nave hitherto prevailed find them selves confronted with maturing mort gages, the holders of which having de- cided On account of unfavorable legisla- tive condition, to withdraw their business from our state to those whose laws are more favorable to them and therefore decline to renew these loans, and the av- craze borrower, having no one to go to for relief, and are crowded to the wall and many are financially embarrassed and ruined because of apparently thoughtless legislation, the effects of which, while 1t should have been foreseen, was not until great harm has already been done, the evidences of distress that will surely find it's way in a practical manner to the Hon. MT So and So, and will make those who are conscientious (and then are not that we but of that kind) feel that it Is their duty to relieve error of head and not of the heart at the first opportunity.
 The conditions referred to cannot have otherwise than a depressing influence on real values, local and thoughout the state, and if it results not more harmful than it otherwise would we may render thanks to a resoureeful and industrious people, and the wonderful strides and de- velopments made prior to the present situation.
 This wonderful city, district and state have attained their present greatness by fostering and encouraging railroads and foreign capital to invest within her bor- ders, rather than pursuing a hostile and menacing policy that does not voice the sentiment of@the masses of the conserva- tive and thoughtful people of this state.
 It is asked, why not tax foreign money the same as state banks? Foreign money is not allowed to charge over per cent and have voluntarily loaned millions of their funds in this state at 5I2 per cent to per cent, while the banks have hSen allowed to charge what was called bank able interest of 1 per cent per month, the equivalent to 12 per cent a year, and even at that not one real estate boomer out of fifty can go to the banks when they need it and borrow on real estate security, 1t being claimed by many banks that either laws or their boards of direc- tors will not allow them to loan on real

The real estate market has not shown that strength which has so uniformly pre- vailed for some time past, and has shown a wavering tendency. Local realty is recognized as a safe investment to pin one's faith to, but with increased and hardening rates of interest, with the in- dications that large money loaning cor porations who have for some years past been making loans of 51a per cent to 6 per cent are inclined to withdraw their busi- ness because of recent legislation, felt to be hostile to their interests, with the chances of declining to renew at their ma turity loans already placed, and many of them refusing to consider new applica- ttons, inclines many conservative people to the belief that i'll effects of higher rates and the uncertainty of obtainment even at those rates, can not have other wise than depressing influence on realty locally and throughout the state, incuss ing the natural consequences of dimin- ished trading and nervous feeling and uncertain faith as to whether present val ues will be well sustained until the ulti- mate effect for good or evil are disclosed by future developments.
 That wise men some times change their minds-fools never' Is as true as the fact that when good men, with the best of good intentions, do not know what to do; they usually get busy, doing some thing they ought not to do, with in- evitable result (though perhaps uninten- tionally) somebody gets hurt. Whenever action is taken hostile to capital the money lending part of it being an easily moved commodity, it usually folds It's tents and hies to more propitious and inviting fields, not that they cannot stand a few mills additional, which the people will have in any event to pay, but being a 'timid plant that must be cultivated in a friendly spirit, it has in most in- stances sought those states and locali- ties that have been Nnost friendly and in viting to their interests.
 If 1t happens to be our state legisla- ture, and they are all mighty good folks for that's what the people said when they sent 'em there) happen to make mistake and decide that it is a good thing to stop progress and development, to stop opening up new industries, building houses, hotels, homes, improving and ex- tension of railroads and other public util ities of every kind, by taxing foreign money (and going after the railroads with battle axe) and running these things which people most need to develop and Increase values and sustain them, out into other states that have the good Judgment to see that cheap money is a right handy and convenient thing to have at hand when the rainy days come, it is time to stop and see If the machinery around the state law making department hasn't gotten little out of plumb and to cause thinking people to wonder if there mightn't be a screw or two loose some where that needs tightening, and begin to overhaul.

 The young man was seen talking to his brother at the Printup hotel about a half an hour before the accident. The engineer saw the man on the track, blew the whistle, rang the bell and reversed his engine, but too late to keep form striking the unfortunate man.

Commencement at Normal.

Huntsville, May 28.-(Special.)- .)-The graduating exercises of the normal de- partment of the Agricultural and Me chanlcal college at Normal, were held last night and the annual address was delivered by Charles Stewart of Chicago. Yesterday was commencement day at the institution and the exercises begun with an industrial parade in which 300 mem bers of the several industrial classes took part The annual address was de- lvered by Dr. Sterr of Decatur. and he said that the American race prejudice had proved to be a motive power urging negroes to make something of them selves. He said that if this prejudice had been manifested immediately after the liberation of the slaves, the negroes would have been spurred to make an effort at advancement and they would now amount to more a race. Ben P. Hunt editor of the Huntsville Mercury. delivered the diplomas to the industrial graduates and he told them that the bits of paper that he gave them did not sig nify that they had accomplished any thing, but that 1t was merely the begin ming for them that the lives of the stu dents would be they chose to make them The annual meeting of the alumni society was held today.
