China'S Bright Outlook

The new Emperor of China is but 3 years old, and the new regent is 26 years old. The latter is the real ruler, and he is considered a reformer, but he is not considered a young man of unusual force. The Dowager Yehonala will rot become a powerful influence in the government.
 All ings considered, the outside world is justified in assuming that the accession of Prince Chun to power is a victory for the reformers in China. The reactionaries do not seem to have won any point, although it is too early to say who will become the close and trusted advisers of the regent. Men like Professor Hirth of Columbia uni versity are confident that a new era is opened up, and that. China, vast as it IS, will rapidly assimilate western ideas and methods. Tradition and supersti- ton stand discredited, and the reaction aries in China cannot restore their lost prestige and influence.
 No outbreak has occurred either in Pekin or in the provinces, and the western nations have secured in this change of rulers in China no excuse for meddling in her affairs. Japan all ticipates no action of that sort, and it it is safe to say there will be no inter- ference without Japan's knowledge and cooperation.
 While Japan guards China from without the reformers will within pro- ceed to build new, better and stronger empire, and Professor Hirth does not go too far when he says the new China will bec~me in 25 or 30 years worlds power wholly capable of taking care of her own entity and her own trade and her own institutions. Hands off should be the rule, and the Root policy seems to have that rule as a basis.

BELLEvuE's "sLAck BOTTLE"

From Harper's Weekly.
 The legend of the somber old pile may pass with It's destruction, but the tradi- ton of the Black Bottle" will be hand ed down to curse the new. In the minds of the unenlightened this fiction of the past has become a fact, as firmly believed as the doctrine of religion. The black bottle is the euthanasia of the useless, the incurable, or the troublesome. It is in the custody of some mysterious person, who sits as the judge of life and death, it's contents are quietly dropped in the victims food or drink and he passes on to cumber the earth no longer There is no appeal from the black bottle. it's ext istence is denied by all in authority, it does its work silently and surely. Hor- TOT of horrors the bottle sometimes falls into the hands of some spiteful nurse or attendant, and then let the troublemaker bewarel Or perhaps the medical schoo need new material for their dissecting rooms; again the black bottle. and 2 plethora of subjects results.
 great many years ago the nursing in the institution was done by convicts from the penitentiary and by women from the workhouse and the jails; tradition says that in those days it was dangerous to be helpless in the wards with even the wealth of a few dollars; little opium in the food, pillow pressed down over the face, or knee squeezed into the throat, and it was all over. The legend of the black bottle may have been the result of those days. Another tradition of Belle vue is to consider every man alcoholic until he is proved innocent. This tradi- ton dates from 1735, when the hospital was "raised' where the city hall now stands, at the expense of 50 gallons of rum. paid for by the corporation.

THE PROHIBITION CROP

wrath of that father, while friend of the family invited in to take supper whom one officer found sitting quietly at the meal with the baby in his arms, was killed by second officer, and In falling his weight crushed the baby be- meath him, scattering it's life blood up- on the floor.
 The officers were not to blame They were just two more victims of mis- guided public opinion which forced them to violate the sanctity of this dwelling But what does Alabama think, what will the world think, of that sort of public opinion? What would you think if tkat last supper had occurred in your home? Consider the mother in that home weeping for her husband. baby and friend grieving that she was not buried with her loved ones What does she think about prohibition and should not her thought he shared by every parent in the land whose heart can be stirred by pity and compassion?
 Can prohibition ever. with all of it's supposed blessings, atone for that one single horror?

ennisl sessions. It was s5,666. and the proposition was defeated-yeas, 40,SS5; nays, 45,2s1. The difference against the proposition was 1896. The biennial sessions proposition was defeated in a light vote by just about 10000. Out of 1C4,794 citizens who went to the polls only 27,915 voted in favor of biennial sessions. This must, therefore, be COIL sidered final verdict on that proposi- ton. For many years to come Ala bama Lids fair to stand out as the only quadrennial legislative state in the union. In emergencies this state can have, however, sessions ad libitum, the governor being the judge of an emer- gency and of the legislation to be con sidered in any extra session he may call.
