Barber Regulations.

"The high-class barbers in Georgia have succeeded in convincing the legis- lators over there that the trade should be put under public supervision" said an Atlanta man, "and it looks like we are going to have regular system of examination, inspection and regulation of the tonsorial profession under state supervision.
 T think the idea a good one, for it will protect both patron and barber from incompetent competition. The proposed law requires sanitation and a thorough knowledge of those skin dis eases which are liable to be acquired through insanitary tonsorial methods.
 "The proposition seriously considered is good one, for the barbers certain ly do come in close contact with the public"

 1 HE worst strike-so far as results (CD went-that England has seen for
 many years past lasted only month. This was the great London dock strike of 1888, when SO,0oo men went out fo- a penny an hour extra wages. Lon don, a. a port, has never recovered from the disastrous effect of that strike.
 The longest first magnitude strike which has been seen in this country for a genera ton was that of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers in 1897. It began on July 3. and it's object was eight-hour day. By October there were 70,00O men idle. Enormous sums were distributed in strike pay, but the distress became very severe In November conference was arranged between the employers and the representatives of the strikers, but it proved a failure. The men stuck to their demands; the masters could not see their way to accept them. Week after week through the dreary winter the mis- erable struggle went on, and the misery was appalling. Conference after confer ence came to nothing. At last on January 15, 1898, the men withdrew their demand for 4S-hour week, but even then it was not until the end of the month that work was generally resumed. That strike cost the country at least five millions, and possibly twice that amount.
 It was in October, 1900, that the men employed by the late Lord Penrhyn in his enormous Welsh slate quarries at Bethesda struck In body. The quarrel between them and their employer had begun in 1s63 and there had been nu- merous partial strikes previous to the great one This Bethesda strike was chiefly caused by low wages, and by the fact that the men were only paid once a month.
 The strike of 1900 holds the record for being the. longest strike which this coun- try has seen for nearly half century past. It went on until November, 19OS During those long three years e364 600 was lost in wages alone, and whereas at the beginning of it we imported no slate

THE ONLY ONE WITH MONEY.
So Oscar Haner Knew This Man Was
 the Jointkeeper.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 "Oscar Haner had more strange ways of finding out things than any man I ever worked with,' a West Side police officer said the other day, while talking about the late chief of police One day we raided joint on a John Doe war rant and none of the twenty men found in the place would admit that he was the owner.
 "1ll find him. said Haner.
 "Te pushed his way into the group. tapping each man on the hip. After sev- eral minutes he stopped and tapped one man two or three times. We heard money jingle.
 This is the owner said the chief. Take him.
 You've got me all right answered the man. But how did you know I was the right man
 Tapped your pocket. You were the only one who had any money, so l knew you ran the place was the answer"

THE INVESTIGATION

Lanett News: All Alabama is mortified at the sensational accusations made that crazy folks have been put to death by cruel nurses at the State asylum at Tuscaloosa. The claim is also made that patients were so nearly starved that they ate bread from the swill barrel. The charges will be investigated.
 Tallapoosa Courier: The sensation over the reports from the insane hospital at Tuscaloosa grow more serious as charges are made. It Is reported that patients are kicked, beaten and ehoked and that in several cases death resulted from abuse. It is said these reports came from nurses who had been discharged. from service and this at once suggests that the repop<s may be exaggerated.
 Fort Payne Journal: Representative King of Jefferson county has filed charges against the management of the insane asylum at Tuscaloosa supported by affi- davits of former nurses and attendants who assert that several patients have been beaten to death and that the in- mates are poorly fed and in insufficient quantity, and the charges are made the basis of a demand for an investigation of the institution. There are many things about the institution which the public ought to know and does not.
 Mobile Register: The Register would not like to be understood as objecting to the bringing of charges against the man- agement of the Alabama-ryce Insane hos pital or the thorough investigation of such charges This paper asserts simply that 1t is unjust to an institution so long established and so greatly held in esteem to put damaging statements before the general public without some assurance of their truth on the part of the one respon- sible for their publication. The instltu- ton has deserved more consideration than was accorded it.
 Gadsden Journal: If half the charges made against the management of the Tuscaloosa asylum are true, everyone having the remotest responsibility ought to be publicly disgraced. The indiscrim- mate maltreating of sane persons is bad enough, but the abuse of those who are irresponsible as the inmates of an institu- ton for the insane is so lacking in nu- manity that no words of condemnation are strong enough to express the con tempt we feel for the vile wretches Whd will nflict corporal punishment on de- fenseless irresponsible fellowman. The legislative committee appointed to inves- tigate these charges should go to the bot tom of things and recommend swift and full punishment for the guilty no matter who they are. And If the charges are true, the heads of the institution who carelessly permit such outrageous treat ment of its inmates are as guilty as those directly committing the assaults. Let the matter be thoroughly probed and the guilty, if such there be, brought to jus tice.

BoeoTA WITHOUT RAILROAD.

From Youths Companion.
 We are apt to think that a great city. containing the comforts and elegancies of modern life, cannot exist without railroads at it's gates Bogota. the capital of the re- public of Colombia, is an exception. Hay- ing a population of 125,Ooo fine residences, excellent schools and colleges. literary, artistic and musical societies, clubs, polo, tennis, balls, dinners, elegant society that knows the Parisian fashions, Bogota lies on plateau which no railroad has yet reached. There Is, however, a short rail road on the plateau itself. But to get to it by the most used route one must jour ney two and a half days on muleback An other way of approach, reducing the mule ride to seven or eight hours, requires sev- eral days of river navigation But the railroad is coming, although late.

Bob Lowe is in the city and he is ta1ker whenever talk Is necessary. Said he yesterday:
 q am a farmer and so far out of poli- tics as I possibly can be. Yet I am an Alabaman and am anxious to keep in line. I want Underwood returned to Congress. because I believe him to be a man cf fine points; and I want Alabama to keep in general line with the demo- cratee idea on all points. Underwood has made us congressman of excellent ideas. He is old enough in the cause to be of immense value to the state. though in the minority of the House.
 With Pettus and Bankhead in the Sen ate and Underwood in the House the Birmingham district has much to expect. Each of them is practical and patriotic and the two proportions mean much for Alabama, especially for the Birminghan n district"

TWO VOICES.
By Alfred Tennyson.

By Alfred Tennyson. Forth into the fields I went. And natures living motion lent The pulse of hope to discontent. I wondered at the bounteous hours, The slow result of winter showers; You scarce could see the grass for flowers.
  I wondered while I paced along; The woods were filled with song, There seemed no room for sense of wrong: And all so varously wrought. I rnarveled how the mind was brought To anchor by one gloomy thought; And therefore rather I made choice To commune with that barren voice, Than Him that said, Rejoice, Rejoice"

ALABAMA PRESS

Andalusia News: Plenty of warmth, thank you--the legislatures of Georgia and Alabama are in session.
 Marion Standard: The question now is will Governor Conner umpire and consti- ute the whole battery at the recess ses- sion of the legislature. We shall soon see.
 Gadsden Journal: Birmingham has mounted sanitary police. That may be an effective force but somehow mounted officers smack of autocratc government.
 Fort Payne Journal: Another scheme to connect with the state treasury is to ap- propriate money to aid ih holding county fairs. Nothing like a full treasury to attract grafters.
 Pine Belt News: We opine that during the legislative recess many of the law makers had their spinal chords treated with good results. Let us hope so. Also that the Conner cobwebs were removed from their brain. We will see.
 Southern Aegis To save the state from the critical danger of bankruptcy of a large portion of it's people with an in- creased burden of taxation and the stakes put down against further progress, the remainder of the session of the legislature should be taken up mainly in the repeal of the unwholesome laws enacted at the first part of the session.
 Gadsden Journal: Senator Bankheads S speech before the legislature shows him to be thorough statesman and fully alive to the great questions affecting the welfare of the people. If he is not in ac- cord with the dominant sentiment of his party" the outline of his policy fails to disclose wherein he is at variance with genuine democratic doctrine.
 Brewton Standards; The fanhers hair may be bushy, his skin bronzed but his eyes are clear. his digestion is like that of a 3-year-od mule, his conscience is like the other above his head, and his bank account as fat as his favorite shoat. He is the most independent creature that wears the garb of civilized man.

Asa Roun- tree. secretary, John Wallace, Harold Hildreth and several others, as vice pres idents, the object of the organization should be easily accomplished.
 The Baldwin Times: The Alabama leg islature is again in session. If there is anything left undone which will place Alabama in a back seat for the next fifteen years, it will not be the fault of this legislature. There is more of irony than anything else. in the bugle call of the administration. Forward" means more than the present legislature contem- plated.
 Cullman Democrat: The splutterng, palaverng, saft soaping little insects who are the guardians of the rights of the people cut a wide swath, in their own narrow little minds.
