Seals Continues to Act.-The su- preme court will be appealed to in re- gard to the custer proceedings against Police Commissioner Carl H. Seals, in which Judge A. o. Lane of the circuit court, ruled against Seals Wednesday afternoon. Appeal bond was fixed at $200. It will take about three or four weeks for the matter to reach the su- preme court, and during this time Seals will continue to serve as commissioner.
 Court Proceeding.eBusiness was ex- tremely quiet about the courthouse yes terday. In the first division of the criminal court non-capital cases were on trial during the greater portion of the day. In the third division of the city court the case of J. J. Davidson, administrator ys. Pratt Consolidated Coal company resulted in a mistrial. The case of Carrie A. Bryant vs. A. c. Acton, a suit for alleged false arr rest, is on trial.
 Plea of Insanity.-The main fight of the defense in the case of William M. Bailey now is to establish plea of insanity. The case is dragging along before Judge w. E. Fort in the crimi- nal court and it is hardly probable that it will be concluded before tomorrow. The case is being heard behind closed doors. Yesterday several experts on in- sanity were placed on the stand by tn 0 defense. Among tn em were Dr. Rudolph of the insane asylum at Tuscaloosa.
 McAIIister Trial slow.-The trial of Gordon J. McAllister. charged with the murder of Conductor J. z. Grimes on the North Ensley car line, continues before Judge I. H. Benners in the in- ferior criminal court, but the case is progressing very slowly The defense has not nearly concluded its evidence, it being understood that 1t still has at least 10 witnesses to offer to establish an alibi. New evidence Is being se- cured daily and just when the case will be concluded appears to be an uncer- tain matter.

THE TARIFF

In our judgment all the tariff
commissions that may be appointed
and all the extra sessions OF Congress
that Mr.. Taft as President can call
during his term OF office, will never
make any real revision OF the tarif.
An apparent revision will, no doubt.
be made. There will be a pruning
down OF schedules in some respects.
but never 30 the point where com
petition, so far as the favored ones
are concerned, gill threaten. nor
where any revenue will be derived to
amount TO anything, on imports
which will compete with the products
OF these concerns.
III by some miracle the South could
be converted into the manufacturing
center OF the country and the North
became she agricultural center. there
would no doubt be an immediate
and real revision Of she tariff. The
conditions which would bring revis-
Ion about int-.s way are as likely to
occur as any real change In the rates.
The South has always been discrimi-
mated against in tariff arrangements,
not only because the high tariff
party has it's habitat at the North.
but because this discrimination is
made easy by she difference OF indus
tries in the two sections. This was
so long before the war, and il took
form and shape about the same time
agitation on the slavery question
originated in New England. The
tendency has constantly been to In
crease the discrimination and there
win be no let-up until conditions
bring it about.
