this country, and it is safe to say that we have heard the last of prophecies of war between the two countries. Nothing is more improbable, nothing more far-fetched The two countries Fare friendly and will remain so, and any questions that may arise between them will be adjusted by diplomacy, not by war The friendship that sprang up after Perry's historic voyage will stand good against any jingoism brought to bear against it.
 Thus far no diseordant note has been heard in the programme of vel come and courtesy, and it is believed there will be none in the few remain ing days of the stay of the feet in Japanese waters. If no unhappy incl dent arises the fleet will steam out of Yokohama bearing 15,00O Americans who have personally witnessed the cordiality and hospitality of the Japan ese people. It will be difficult to con vince them that Japan desires to be unfriendly to this country. The re- markable cruise promises to be fully justified by the way it has revived the friendship of Japan after the race fric- tion and the demonstrations in San Francisco All the jingoes in both Japan and America cannot now make the two countries unfriendly.

What High Living Leads To

The bishopric of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Washington was declined first by Bishop Brent of the Philippines and then by Dr. Mann of Boston. It is in manyrespects a choice ecclesiastical position, being almost wholly confined to the small territory of the District of Columbia.
 The salary of the bishopric is, how ever, but $5OOO, and thereby hangs the obstacle to the filling of the vacancy. Rich miners, rich promoters, rich po- litical magnates have f1ocked to Wash ington, and its social affairs are con- ducted on an expensive scale. An Episcopal bishop is expected to get into. if not to lead, the social swim, and the late Bishop Satterlee's annual expenses are said to have been S50,000 a year.
 Washington therefore needs bishop who has struck or married pay dirt, 7" and to find such a man who possesses at the same time the other qualities needed in a bishop is no light task. Washington is still a-looking. Rich churchmen only need apply.
 The scale of living that plutocracy has introduced is at the bottom of the trouble. The diocese itself cannot af- ford to pay bishop $50,000 a year, and the man selected must therefore get ready to handle plutocracy on it's own basis from his own pocket.

INTEREST IN THE MISSION.
Father costello's Sermon Moves to
 Tears-Services Tonight.


 The interest in the mission being con- dueted by the Rev. Father Costello in North Birmingham is increasing as the week draws to an end. The hearing of confessions began yesterday morning and was continued to just before the services at night.
 Father costello's discourse last night was on the passion and death of Christ. In most graphic and pathetic manner the preacher described the scenes of Our Lords agony in the garden-His seourg- ing, erowning with thorns and cruciffx- ion. He also sought to show how these various sufferings of Christ were endured for the sins of men, each particular suf- fering being an atonement for some spe cial kind or class of sins. Many persons in the congregation were moved to tears by the preachers stirring words and his appeal for repentance. The sermon was intended, the speaker declared to show the great mercy of God toward the peni- tent sinner and the readiness with which He is ever inclined to forgive those who have an humble and contrite heart.
 The usual sermon and mission devo- tions will begin tonight at 7:45 o'clock.

MT. Hoadley Coming.


 Joseph H. Hoadley of New York, presi- dent of the Alabamas Consolidated Coal and Iron company, will visit Birmingham this week. He had intended coming di- rect to this city. but yesterday evening he telegraphed Vice President Guy R. Johnson of the Alabama Consolidated that he would stop first in Attalla, reaching that town this morning. He will inspect the companys Gadsden furnaces today and will probably come to Birmingham some time tomorrow.
 Mir Hoadley will find the Alabama Con- solidated properties in excellent condi- ton. There are four blast furnaces-two at Gadsden and two at 1ronaton-and all four are in operation.

JaDaD and America

Tn the din of Nipponese banzais the yellow peril disappears, and so does the war that correspondents had con- jured up in their imaginations between this country and Japan. No one doubts the sincerity of Japan's welcome to our fleet, and few will hereafter con- sider Japan unfriendly to this coun- try.
 Japan wants no war with any nation In a generation to come She wants commercial development She desires to lessen her debt and to give her peo- pie a chance to accumulate riches. War is the last thing she wants, and she will avoid any war that she honor ably and safely can.
 Throughout the rise of the New Ja- pan America was ever ready to lend a helping hand, and Japan has freely acknowledged her Indebtedness to this country. The visit of our fleet to Yokohama wlll recall all the acts of

Night Riding Wholly Evil

Night-riderism spread naturally from the tobacco-growing districts of Ken lucky and Tennessee to Reelfoot lake. It spread naturally because neither Kentucky nor Tennessee vigorously detected and punished those engaged in terrorizing tobacco growers and sellers
 Governor Patterson has, however, taken hold of the Reelfoot tragedy in earnest. The fishermen who came dis guised as night riders will no doubt be ferreted out, indicted and perhaps pun ished, although it is much too early to say what petit juries in Lake and Obion counties will do.
 Night-riderism shows some signs of spreading among the farmers who de- sire to see cotton withheld from mar ket until it is. worth at least 10 cents. The Farmers union, The Age-Herald is glad to state, discountenances all lawless actions, all appeals to force. This great and praiseworthy organiza- tion stands firmly opposed to night riding It was formed for protection only and it has no desire, no intention, of doing harm to any living person. The night riders must look elsewhere for support.
 While Governor Patterson is hunt ing down the night riders of Reelfoot lake, the good people of the cotton belt should support the Farmers union in it's efforts to satmp out lawlessness at the cotton gins and cotton ware houses and wherever else cotton is stored. The evil is in it's infancy in the cotton belt, and this is therefore the right time to stop it. It is wholly evil. It can work good to no one, and it should be met precisely as Governor Patterson is meeting the dastardly murderers of Reelfoot lake.

Paper From COfnStalk

The chemists of the department of agriculture say that they have made good white news" paper from corn stalks, and that such paper can be pro- duced as commercial product at about half the cost of paper made from wood fiber. Let LIS hope the out put of the laboratory will be upheld in the factory.
 This country is full of cornstalks. This is the corn country of the world, and the stalk of the corn has long been waste product. Cattle cannot eat stalks because they are too hard to be masticated by ans animal The stalk has been permitted to be the prey of the elements until it could go back to the soil. If this product can be turned into paper our forests will stand a long time, and every section will make it's own paper. The paper trust. backed by Dingley tariff, cannot corner the country's cornfelds.
 The Washington experiments have not yet been tested commercially. but the practical men in the department of agriculture seem to think there is no serious obstacle in the way. The farmer would thereby gain a market for a waste product, and the news papers would gain relief from prices that are climbing up toward those of gold leaf. The country would be large ly benefited, and the first test of the cornstalk on a commercial scale will be watched with deep interest.

Lemons for "Uncle Joe"

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 It was real rude of those women of St. Clair Mo, to throw lemons at Uncle sJoep Cannon while he was making a speech on the issues of the day. Never theless we are surprised to learn that ''Uncle Joe," after sidstepping the fusil- Jade. indulged in language that was little too warm for print. He should have noted that the missiles were lemons, not turnips or cabbages, and as the lover of a good joke he shoald have accepted the contributions in the spirit which evil dently inspired them.
 The lemon has come to typify the un- pleasant defeat of happy hope or desire, and it's significance is well understood throughout the country, although it's origin is too recent to give it a place in the glossaries of slang as yet. A when the thing you get is the opposite of what you expected or wanted Perhaps "Cncle- Joe thought he was to receive ss shower of bouquets on the occasion in question: A great many people have ex- pected, with great reason, to secure cer- tain legislation from our lawmakers at Washington, but what they actually have received at times has been a lemon.
 We repeat, however, that it was decid- edly rude to throw those lemons at the speaker. They might have been handed to him gently.

The Iron Market.

A large buying movement in the pig iron market will be due soon after the election. In the meantime prices hold their own quite well, although very little tonnage is being contracted for.
 Rogers, Brown &s Co.'S Cincinnati re- port for the current week follows:
 "The market is quiet, current business of about the same volume as has been going and consumption steadily improv- ing. The movement of iron on old con- tracts is being urged and prices are about the same. There is absolutely no change on the small lots which are being sold for prompt shipment, and the few in auiries for delivery next year are being considered entirely apart and as special propositions by themselves There are one or two fair inquiries out, which will prob- ably not be closed for several days
 S''It is re.narKed in the east that there is some improvement in inquiry and sales, especially in the steel making lines.
 Furnaces in the south and through the middle west are holding firmly, and there is expectation that this will continue un til some time next month, when the dis position as to business and figures for next year can be more readily secured

From Morley's Life of Gladstone.
 On Sunday afternoon Sir John Lubbock. our host, took us all up to the hilltop, whence in his quiet Kentish village, Dar- win, was shaking the world. The illus trious pair, born in the same year, had never met before. MT. Gladstone, as soon as seated, took Darwin's interest in les sons of massacre for granted and launched forth his thunderpolts with un- exhausted zest. His great, wise, simple and truth-loying listener, then, I think, busy on digestive powers of the drosera in his greenhouse, was intensely delight ed. When he broke up, watching MT. Gladstones erect, alert figure as he walked away, Darwin, shading his eyes with his hand against the evening rays, said to me in unaffected satisfaction What an honor that such a great man should come to visit mev'

A Delightful Comedy.

Those who failed to see Brown of Harvard with James<Young in the star role, at the opening performance at the Jefferson, should not miss it Friday" said a theatre-goer. There will be a matinee and closing performance at night. Brown of Harvard is a clean, delightful comedy, and this company deserves full houses.'
 MT. Young delivered two lectures yes- terday, the first at the Birmingham sem mary at 1:45 a. m., and the second at the High school at 1:45 D. m. He had intend- ed taking Hamlet for his theme, but at both schools the students asked him to discuss ''Merchant of Venice instead, and he readily complied with the requests. This morning at Il o'clock MT. Young will deliver a lecture at the Margaret Allen school on Highland avenue His Shakes pearean talks are very popular. They are at once entertaining and informing and all young students of the immortal dramatist listen to them eagerly.

sherman over Bryan and Kern in eacl of the states will be in the neighborl hood of 14,000. The Record Herald's figures show a forthcoming republican plurality in North Dakota of 13,542I and in South Dakota of 14,26S.
 Both of the Dakotas have been placed in the doubtful column by the political managers and strong and virile claims have been made by both sides as to where the two states will land on elec- tion day. The straw ballot results are leaders who look for g. heavy slump from the Roosevelt figures are correct in their prediction forecasts.
 The straw vote in each of the states is even more comprehensive than in Iowa, Wisconsin or Minnesota. the size of the straw vote, in proportion to the entire vote of the state, being much larger in each of the young north west ern commonwealths. The tables which are presented are gleaned from straw ballots which were cast in each sec tion of the states, representative of the organized and unorganfzed labor vote. or the agricultural and wheat coun- try, of the city and village and of the mining region in the two states.
 Conditions. local to certain extent. are reflected clearly in the straw ball. loting, and the wisdom of the cam paign chieftains in both of the lead ing camps in sending the heaviest am- intuition to the front in the speaking campaign, which has been unprece- dented, is shown to have been we'll founded.
 Both North Dakota and South Da- kota have been wrapped up in the state campaigns, carrying with 1t the election of the states ticket and en- tire legislatures and seat in the United States Senate in each state.
