he believed that 95 per cent of the rank and file of New England democracy were in favor of Bryans nomination.
 ''The republicans" he said, have been in control over F years They have held unlimited sway in the executive, legisla- tive and judicial departments, and we want to inquire of the men who now pro- fess to be democrats and were allies of the republican party in 1896 and 1900, what they have to say to the masses of voters in 1908, who are out of work, or on short time, at reduced wages, and instead of the full dinner pail are looking for the soup houses or beseging the municipal authori- ties to take measures to open up work to keep them from starving
 ''Tihere can be but one result if you do your duty from now on, and you can not only hope with reasonable certainty that MT. Bryan will not only be nominated at Denver in July, but triumphantly elected President of the United States in Novem- ber.'

Boston. February 29.-A score of sup porters in New England of the candidacy of w. J. Bryan as democratic candidate for President attended the meeting of the New England Democratic Progressive league here today, and later participated in a larger gathering of MT. Bryan's fol- lowers at Faneuill hall.
 The league through it's executive com mittee called on all democratic state and district conventions to instruct all dele gates to vote for MT. Bryan, and called on all democrats to help secure his nomi- nation and election.
 Alexander Troup of New Haven, presi- dent of the league, conducted the meet ing at which there were present delegates from all the New England states.
 George Fred Williams presided at the dinner at Faneuill hall, and MT. Troup was the principal speaker. MT. Troup said

Riots In Spanish City,

Cartagena, Spain, February 29.- nere was rioting in this city today in which a number of people were wounded. The trouble was an outcome of the strike of local shopkeepers who are protesting against the increase of the octroi duties, or tax on comesti- bles coming into the city. Gendarmes were summoned to disperse a crowd that was said to be disorderly. They fired a volley into the air and then found it necessary to charge. This resulted in the wounding of several of the demonstrants.

NEWS OF THE WEEK AT
 THE ALABAMA CAPITOL Meeting of Text Book Commission March H. Will Be Watched With Interest-Many Changes May Be Made-Gray Is Still the Only Announced Candidate for
 Governor-Gossp of Others-Mar-
 tin Wants State Attorneyship
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery February 29.-tSpecial.)- With another week of the high school board swing around the circle it is not anticipated that much will come up at the capitol of general interest until the meeting of the text book commission set down for March Il in the office of the governor. At that time it is expected will begin what may prove to be lively few weeks for all who have to do with schools and the selection of books. Always good reasons for controversy this feature of the educational work of the state has a pc- culiar attraction for all who are in any way interested.
 Many Book Changes.
 It is pretty certain that d number or changes will be made in the book con- tracts as they now stand, but it is also quite probable that most if not all the publishers now serving will get new trades that will compensate for what is lost The law is made to give a little wider scope in the personnel of the board, being now made up of men of all depart ments of school work from normal schools down. They will come ready to act quickly, as the contracts must re let early in order to give the publishers time to get the books ouI fer the schools that open for next year ir Ctcober.
 Talk of Candidates.
 There is a revival of talk with the first evidences of spring concerning the mon who will offer Tor office at the coming state election, and at the casting of bal lots two years after. NO new men are in the gossip list of late for governor, those prominent being Henry B. Gray, the only one announced; William w. Bran don, A. H. Carmichael and Walter Seed. It is known that much pressure was brought on H. S. D. Mallory, chairman Of the state democratic committee, to get in the race but he thought it best not to do so.
 Some of the Others.
 Cyrus Brown has practically been set going for secretary of state, and 1t is thought Capt. A. c. Sexton may also make the race. The latter Is deputy in- surance commissioner and was spoken of as an asprant at the late election. Mr. Allgood of Blount is the only man talked of just now for auditor against c. B. Smith, who will be in the race, though others are possibilities. Rumor puts II. J. Willingham, secretary of the state edu- cational examining board, in the race for superintendent of education as well as w. F. Feagin, chief clerk and Super intendent I. w. McAdory of Birmingham.

BANK STATEMENT
 CONTINUES GOOD
A LOSS OF CASH IS SHOWN FOR THE WEEK, DUE TO ABSORB TON BY THE TREASURY OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS.

New York. February 29.-The Ffnan- cier tomorrow will say:
 As was expected from the traceable movements of money, the statement last week of the associated banks showed loss of cash, because of an important increase in deposits, and consequently in required reserve, the surplus indicating a decrease of more than s3,W0,OOO. The loss of cash was due to the absorption of about S400,OO0,OOO of public funds by the treasury, surrenders of cash funds having been made by the banks in an- ticipation of the maturity on March g of the first installment by the call of the Secretary of the Treasury, which was issued last week. The effect of such surrenders was partly offset, however, by return flow of money from the interior. The net decrease of cash shown by the statement was $2,127,290. Deposits were increased $21, ,332, 300, hence the re- quired reserve was augmented $5,333, ,075, deductng from which the loss of cash as above left $32O5,S75 as the decrease in surplus reserve to $29262,675. Com puted upon the basis of deposits less those of $55,350, 100 public funds-which it may be noted were reduced by $3,s1e, 7O2 during the week-the surplus is s43 200. It is interesting to state that circulation was reduced s2,O54, 100, refecting the re- tirement of bank notes which appear to have made substantial progress during the month, being effected not only by New York city banks but by those in the interior. The percentage of reserve on average conditions was 27 50 and on actual conditions it was 27 30. It may be ob- served that the net deposits of all the banks and trust companies in New York city were $1,7S6, ,00O 600; moreover, with the exception of deposits, which showed an increase of $3,250,000, the comparison of items of state banks and trust companies not reporting to the clearing house showed unimportant changes.

There is going to be lot more litigation with the Georgia Railroad and Banking company over the question of taxes on it's holdings of 15000 shares of the capital stock of the Western Railway of Ala bama than the courts have as yet had to deal with.
 The present litigation which is supposed to be nearing an end, awaiting now the expected action of the state supreme court in sending it back to Fulton superior court for the determination of the value of the stock for the purposes of taxation will be disposed of only to open the way for a new fight which promises to be as long drawn out and as warmly contested as that now in hand.
 The Georgia railroad in 1905 transferred it's holdings of this Western of Alabama stock to the Louisville and Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line, it's lessees, and will contend, it is understood, that this trans fer so changes the status of it that it cannot be held subject to taxation by the state.
 The state will warmly contest this point It will make effort to collect taxes on the stock for the years since 1905. Execu- tions will be issued and levies will be en- joined by the railroad company. Thus the question will be fought all over again on a new basis, the state holding that the owner of such stock cannot make such transfer of it solely with the view of avoiding taxation. Even if the Georgia railroad should sell the stock outright, the state would contend that the property would still exist for the purposes of tax ation, in the proceeds from the sale, and it would seek to compel the payment of taxes upon that

tionists have large number of county organizations, and it is through these that they propose, as they have announced, to get in their work upon all candidates for the legislature. Only those who will prom ise to stand by the state law and to work for constitutional prohibition will get their support.
 Just how strong these organizations are is not known, but the officers of the State Anti-Saloon league here claim they will be able to deliver the goods when the time comes.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-03-01

This fight for constitutional prohibition is calculated to throw a large amount of cold water upon the efforts which are undoubtedly being made to secure mod ifcation of the state law, with view to permitting the sale of beers and light wines. It is not believed by those who have any sort of understanding of the situation that any such modification can be secured at the hands of the present legislature, which enacted the law, nor from the one that is to succeed it.

lMurat HalStead
Dies Thursday.

Cincinnati, July 2.-Murat Halstcad, one
of the Leaders in American journalism
for over half a century and widely
known as a vigorous editorial and mag
azine writer, died at his home in this city
this afternoon in his 18th year. At his
bedside were his wife, his son Robert and
one daughter, Mrs. Arthur Stem. Mr..
Halstead had been failing in strength for
several months and yesterday suffered
from cerebral hemorrhages. rj-'
Mr.. and Mrs. Halstead celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary a little more
than year ago, at which time Mr.. Hal
stead's health seemed frail. a
Mr.. Halstcad was one of the great ed
itors of the last half of the 10Th century
and one Of the, strongest tributes to his
as a writer was in 1889, when
mis- nomination by President Harrison to
he American minister; to Germany was
rejected by the United States Senate be-
cause of articles he had published chars,
ing corruption to some members of. that
body.
In the Civil war Mr. Halstead person
ally reported many battles and later il,
the Franco-German war, and also in the
Spanish American war he added to his
reputation in that line
For 50 years he attended ard reported
all Republican national conventions.
