GOOD FOR ALABAMA.

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 It is nightly gratifying to know that Alabama has made a very important ad- vance in child labor legislation, For many years Alabama was known as one of the worst offenders among the states of the union.
 Several years ago public sentiment forced the legislature to pass law whereby children under 12 were not per mitted to work in a factory except where the wages were needed to support a widow or disabled" parent. The excep- ton, of course, made the law practically q dead letter. There was an astonishing increase of "dsabled' parents in Ala bama and officials winked at the evasion of the law. Indignation grew so pro- nounced that the legislature at last has decided to close the loop holes and the exemptions were stricken from the law.
 The action of the Alabama legislature is encouraging to the movement the coun- try over and if it is found impossible to have a national act covering this great evil then there should be missionary work having for its object similar action by all the states of the union.

SMOKING AND SOLDIERS.

From the Washington Herald.
 The experience of Lord wolseley of the British army has been such that he has always made 1t rule to allow, whenever possible, the soldiers under his command one pound of tobacco a month, which he considers fair al- lowance, and with the use of which he finds the soldier does his best work. In Italy the military auth critics TO- cognize tobacco as one of the comforts essential to troops, and cigars are served out to them with their daily rations. In France there are, it is said, 600o,0 900 smokers, and of every fifteen there are eight who smoke a pipe, five who smoke cigars, and only two who are cigarette smokers. Still the French consume more than soo,0oo.oo cigarettes year. The best cigars man ufactured anywhere come from Cuba. the tobacco for which Is cultivated in the famous Vuelta de Abajo district. west of Havana. This favored spot is located on the banks of the river. tn e nature of the soil being such that In no other place in the world can leaves of such excellence be produced. The largest cigars come from the Philip pines, some of them being eighteen inches long. They find ready sale in Italy, whose smokers use the strongest tobacco in the world.

Mir. Burnett's Mistake

The New Orleans Times-Democrat considers Congressman Burnett's plan for requiring every immigrant to read and write "a plan to prevent immigra- ton to the south, to raise the wages of negro labor, and to reduce the pro duction of southern farms, mills and mines" The Times-Democrat goes on to say; What the south needs is labor largely rough labor, for the de- velopment of its agricultural and min eral resources, largely white labor to take the places of lazy negroes. These are to sbe supplied almost exclusively from the peasantry, from those classes which have received little education save in a few of the countries of west ern Europe. We would probably get a better class of immigrants-thati Is, a more genteel. but certainly not a harder working class-if we extended MT Burnetts proposed educational qualification so as to require & civil service examination, including trigo- nometry, comic sections. Sanscrit and cuneiform, but we would get none of them down here to work In the mines or on the plantations and to take the places of those negroes who have moved to town to live on the earnings of their wives as cooks and washer women, or who have "exodused" north to enjoy the supposed delights of so- cial equality"
 There is no evidence that an educa- tional test would shut out undesira- bles, for they are to be found among the literate as well as the illiterate, and MT. Gompers has shown that the immigrants from Sicily, Southern Italy and Syria are not undesirables in any larger proportion than those from Russia, Austria-Hungary or even Northern Italy. All are hard working
