Print Paper aud Wood PuiD

Ground wood is to come in free, and the duty on print paper is to be re- duced from $6 ton to $3. .75 ton. Tor these fayors publishers will be duly grateful. They asked for free print paper, and compromise rate of $3 ton was agreed upon. At this point the President came into the case, stating to callers that $4 rate was necessary for the application of the protection principle to print paper" Where he got this information from who in fact told him-is not known, but it is known that the new compro- mise rate. $3.75, was agreed upon by the conferees to satisfy a President who desired in this instance at least revision upward.
 Some concessions have at any rate been gained, and all probable increases have been defeated. The paper trust is known to have been ready to de- mand an increased duty because Amer jean wool is higher in price than 1t was when the Dingley bill was passed The reduction of the s6 Dingley duty to sS.75 will be sure to bring some relief to publishers in all parts of the country.

Commission Government
notions.

Among the grave objections to commission form of government for cities, such as the bill now pending in the legislature provides, is the too fre- quent elections that would result from the referendum feature. A referendum is all very well in certain exceptional cases, but for city government to be administered on that plan would be equal to a continuous campaign per formance. The city governed by con- mission with referendum attachment would be in turmoil of politics year in and year out.
 A municipal government, no matter whether by aldermen or by small commission, in the nature of things in- wolves large element of politics; and would-be reformers who advocate commission, and who imagine that a city should be run by the mayor and two or four commissioners, in the same manner in which a bank or an iron company or mercantile concern is conducted fail to realize that so long as commissioners were to remain flll- man, just so certain would they be- come politicians and politicians of the most autocratic type. Every commits sioner would, indeed, become a profess sional politician.
 Moreover if it is the proposition to have as commissioners only men of high class capacity for finance and for executive duties much larger salaries than the salaries named in the bill would have to be paid There is not a bank president of the first rank, or 8 first rate corporation official or a big merchant or an exceptionally able lawyer who does not earn much more than $4000 year. And if the high class business man or man of affairs in whom the public would have conf. dence. were induced to announce and scramble for commissionership purely from sense of duty and civic pride, the same men on the same grounds would be available as an al derman from his ward.

The Coal Trade.

Tt is interesting now that the de- pression fin business is rapidly passing to read some of the figures that bear upon industrial matters here in Ala bama," said a man who gathers statis- tics.
 'The report on the production of coal in Alabama for the year 1908 shows that there were 2,645,s61 tons less coal mined than in 1907. The ratio of de- crease in value was surprising in view of conditions. The reduction was 1857 per cent in production. while the de- cline in value was only 20.42. Nearly half of the decline in production was in coking coal, a decrease of 1.100,000 tons. The price varied in average from $1.29 per ton In 1907 to s126 in 1908, or 3 cents per ton on 11.604,59S tons mined in 1908.
 After a long period of dullness in the coal trade there are now signs of improvment There is a very decided improvement in coking coal production and the last half of 1909 will sh ow good gain over the corresponding period of 1908"

Popular Sentiment In Mexico

President Diaz is now 79 years of age, and he seeks reelection, and the election is to take place next year. The demonstration in Guadalajara was not so much directed against him as it was against Vice President Corral, who is considered the political heir selected by Dfaz. The latter wants Corral selected for another term. The term of both president and vice pres ident is six years. The advanced age of the President really makes the se- lection of a vice president the chief contest iI the coming election. Cor ral will have opponents, while Diaz may not have.
 Gen. Bernardo Reyes Is Corral's chief opponent, and he is running on a platform that seeks to limit Amer ican influence in Mexico. Corral Is accused of favoring unlimited exten- sions of American investments, which already aggregate s750, 1000 900, or more than Germany and England combined have invested there. Reyes Is sol dier and he is governor of Nuevo Leon, a state that lies along the line of the United States. Monterey is the capital of that state.
 As things stand Diaz will certainly be elected to an eighth term, but the vice presidency is in doubt General Reyes could readily win it were 1t not for Diaz's support of Corral. The sec ond place on the ticket remains un- settled, although the chances in favor of Corral are decidedly the better of the two. The Reyista clubs are loyal to Diaz and the Guadalajara move ment should not be overestimated. It was directed against Corral not against Diaz.

The orphanaoe Picnic.


 The Jefferson County orphange as sociation's annual picnic for the bene- fit of the home at East Lake takes place at the East Lake park Wednes- day. August 25." said a friend of the orphans
 Former picnics have been given on the other side of town--usually at Smiths park but as East Lake is unusually attractive this season as a pleasure resort 1t was decided to hold this years event there. Birmingham is to be congratulated on having such an admirably equipped and admirably managed pleasure place as the East Lake park. No city in the south is so well favored in this respect.
 "As the Sisters of Charity in charge of the orphanage receive and care for children irrespective of creed, and as the tickets for the picnic are only 25 cents, an immense attendance at East Lake park seems assured"

Three of Our Great Men

Harper's Weekly points approvingly to a statement made by a manager of one of the chief railroads to the effect that there are but three great railroad men-E. H. Hartman, J. J. Hill and Milton H. Smith. Harper's thinks it is not improbable that these three men will stand in history as the ages best representatives. It goes on to say:
 MT. Smith Is not so well known as the other two, but we should not be sur prised if the mass of the railroad men throughout the country were found to indorse this estimate How the north west feels about Hill is we'll known; the choice of him to be orator at the opening of the Seattle exposition is but one of many evidences that that whole region regards him it's foremost man. Peo- pie out that way would probably laugh at the idea Of comparing him with any oistinctiy public man they have-con- eressman, senator, governors or what not Harriman's field has been wider still-it is now, in fact as wide as the continent-and his genius is recognized as widely. MT. Smiths work has been fin the south; but there his fame is almost as great as Hil's in the far north west. year or two ago, when Alabama enacted some drastic anti.railroad laws, aimed rather partiSVsrly at him. one remonstrant rsmarksA thas though the aA<isIature mlght drivS his road into .

Viruinia Politics.

Knowing Harry St. George Tucker personally, l am sorry he was defeated for the democratic nomination for the governorship of Virginia" said s. F. Carney of Washington, D. C., and I am sorry too, to see the democratic ma chine, which backed Judge Mann, come out ahead. While Mann is a strong pro- hibitionist, he will not be able to impose statewide prohibition on Virginia, for the simple reason that the machine man ager succeeded in getting the saloon ele- ment in certain cities to line up for their 0he ring) candidate. The alleged deal with the liquor men Is supposed to have been made just about 10 days before the primary.
 'The issue between statewide prohibi- tion and local option was not raised in the case of candidates for the legislature, and when I was in Norfolk the morning after the primary it was not known how the lawmakers chosen would stand. The Anti-saloon league certainly cannot claim Mann's nomination as a victory for the statewide prohibition cause, for to say nothing of the considerable proportion of the whisky vote which Mann received he pulled through by very small major ity. Kent, the republican candidate for governof of Virginia, will give Mann close race.
 ''The Richmond News-Leader, in dis cussing the result of the democratic pri- mary. had among other things this to say: Reinforced by the grotesque com bination of the Anti-Saloon league and prohibitionlsts with the liquor interests, the machine pulled through by pitiful majority, and on vote which the Times Dispatch truthfully describes as "om- inousy light" The existence of this combination Is proved by the fact that Judge Mann's greatest majority was in Norfolk. the center of machine politics and saloon power, and that Petersburg gave him majority nearly as large as 1t gave for liquor licenses a couple of months ago."

receivership. and might even undo much of what he had done to build up the state, it could not prevent the people from eventually erecting a great monu- ment to his memory"
 These men are teaching the streams of commerce how to flow from north west to southeast and vice versa. Recent railroad history runs in that direction. All three of the men named are striving to bring the heart of the country closer to the gulf and south Atlantic ports. This is why the Bur lington, Hill road, is soon to have line to the Smith system. This is why Hartman built into Birmingham and bought the Central of Georgia railroad. The northwest, no matter how far, IS to join hands with the southeast, and the three great men of today are all working to that end.

lmmlaratlOn to the South

There are two propositions that can. not be pushed aside, namely, the de- velopment of the south is dependent upon additional white labor, and, secondly, that labor must come from the north or from Europe No doubt a steady tide of farmers will come to an inviting climate from the north, but it will not be large enough to develop in a single generation southern re- sources and southern possibilities. We need immigrants, and the New York Commercial thus explains how such people can be attracted to this section: "The south, beyond all question, offers better opportunities to intending agri- oulturists arriving here from Europe than does either the north or the west, and she does need better supply of labor than she now has; and immigra- tion stations at New Orleans and other southern points would no doubt oper- ate to steer arriving newcomers that way. But the south must establish emigration agencies of her own in for eign countries If she hopes ever to draw foreigners steadily within her borders either as laborers or artisans or settlers on her lands. The great trunk lines of American railroads, working primarily in their own inter- est, of course, were for many years practically the European agents of the western states; and steering and ticketing emigrants through to that section from the ports of departure across the Atlantic, they became most important factors in the development and upbuilding of the great west, and the process is still going on. The com- panies owning and operating the trunk lines of railroads that penetrate the great south pursue no such systematic policy. The south must establish the foreign agencies herself, through the cooperation of the states, counties and cities; she can then have her pick of the emigrants on the other side once she causes her exceptional advantages to be known there"
 All very true, but just at present Commissioner Keefe is opposing the establishment of an immigration sta ton in New Orleans. His predecessor, MT. Sargent, favored policy that looked to the diversion of immigrants from the congested eastern cities to the south and the west. There should be an united opposition in the south to the Keefe policy. Immigration stations should be erected in several southern ports, and those ports should get to work to defeat Keefe's plans and notions.

Stocks and crops.


 Henry Clews in his Saturday review says in part
 "The New York market continues un- der control of the big operators. What with their desire to sustain the market in order to dispose of their surplus hold ings and what with. the necessity of leading bankers keeping the market in good condition for the large new secur- ity issues contemplated during the next two or three months, there was little chance for any important downward re- action in the absence of unfaYorable news. Of the latter there was practical ly none.
 "The crop outlook is now the most im- portant factor in the general situation As anticipated, the government cotton report was unfavorable, and had a marked effect upon the price of that staple. While some improvement is possible in the con dition of the plant during the remainder of the season, It is practically fore gone conclusion that the cotton crop will be a short one and that high prices must be expected this season. This means good times for the section where the injury was slight and vice versa for sections where the injury was great. It is question able, however, If there will be any ex- traordinary scarcity of cotton, for the reason that many of the European mills are running upon short time and Flu rope is already possessed of larger sup ply of raw cotton than a year ago. As for the grain crops, their outlook con- tinues satisfactory. July and August are frequently months of deterioration, and 1t is quite possible that the government report expected Monday will show a slightly lower percentage of condition than a month ago. It cannot be claimed, however, that there is any great short age of grain in fact, the corn crop prom ises to be the largest on record and prices for all agricultural products are known to be exceptionally profitable. For this reason there is an optimistic feeling throughout the entire grain belt, both merchants and bankers in those sections of the country anticipating with much confidence a good autumn trade. The agricultural outlook as whole Is be- yond question encouraging because of the profitable basis upon which it is at pres ent working.
 .In the industrial field signs of re- cuperation continue to multiply. As said in previous advices. the volume Of pro- duetion in most industries is not yet equal to that existing before the panic; yet the tendency Is towards steady increase of output, and fortunately there is brisk demand for all the products of our mills, both present and prospec- tive
