STATE SENATE
 MADE MISTAKE
Saws Senator Clarke In Failing
 To Ratify Federal Income

| dA0s
 Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March P. Sena- ] tor James P. Clarke addressed a
 ioint session of the House and
 Senate Tuesday afternoon. He spoke in favor of the reciprocity, treaty with Canada, and declared 1 that it had been brought about by the high cost of living. lie de clared that if the democrats had chung to the tariff platform of 1884 which elected Cleveland, 1t would be in power today. He told the Senate that it had made a grievous mistake in fail ing to ratify the federal income tax amendment, which is good democratic doctrine, and urged the Legislature to reconsider and not stand with Louisiana, which is ruled by the sugar barons, in being the only Southern state that does not accept this amend ment.
 He said it would be all right for the state to levy its own in
 come tax, for that would not in terfere with the federal tax. lie declared that this has become an indispensable feature of every civilized government and should l be written into the constitution. He spoke in favor of the popu- 1 lar election of U. s. Senators, and declared that the old system hao become so corrupt that in many s|states, such as Mississippi, New York, Iowa, Colorado Delaware and others, it is almost impossl .lble to elect Senator. The dem Iocrats are now denied three mem
 bers in the Upper House because of this condition.
 l Senator Clarke also came out
 strong in favor of the Initiative and Referendum, but said thai Amendment No. 10 is defective
 and should be amended and the
 easiest way to accomplish this
 and do a thousand other necessa- lry things is to call constitu- tional convention.
 1T could write a constitution myself that would save the state $1OO, 900 a year. said he, "and I am not much of constitution writer either It is a whole some law and should be amlpli- fled and put into working shape. He also favored the recall, de
 claring that there is a rising tide of sentiment in favor of popular government that has never been
 equalled..

Bessemer Is Winner

long and hard fought ball game between the rivals for the City league pennant was played this afternoon at the City park here by Bessemer and North Birmingham until tEe shades of dusk obiterated the sight of e ball made the umpire look like a shadow and the score stood to in favor of Bessemer.
 The maneuyers began promptly at 1 o'clock, but in the fourth the umpire H. Stradford of Birmingham, made a certain decision that displeased the fans and two of the players. Hurd and Dodson were put on the bench, and he spent quite a spell explaining to the rebellious ones why he did it. He brayed the unpopularity of the grand . stand and stuck it out like a man, al though it looked like a fight at one time. The first and last innings were North Birmingham's widest, but the Fowler brothers were in their usual good trim and the visiting stars first inning on a drive over first Dase by Houston. Craig made the first two bagger and Waters, Lipscomb recruit, knocked the only three bagger of the afternoon. The home pitcher Williams who is not unlike the immortal Tucker in some of his mound poses. was there with the losses. but the North Birming- ham signals and team work served them we'll The visitors piled up the batting averages, but Bessemer's stolen bases were the features of the game The score follows.

Cessation of Bitterness

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Let us stop talking about the election and bansh it from our minds and hearts. Did any good ever come from strife and bitterness? Can house divided against itself stand? This applies as well to com munities, states and nations. There is a growing desire among mankind for the cessation of bitterness and don't you think that the time has arrived in lief ferson county and the state of Alabama for dropping the old sourness and show ourselves worthy of the great oppor- tunities and blessings that the Creator has showered upon us. Do the victors in the recent election desire harmony and peace, and will they aid in enriching the mind, the morals and the teaching Man shall earn his living by the sweat of his brow,' and the obedience of the law.
 To those in authority, both county and state, opportunities for doing much good are open before them-do embrace them. Let all lay aside animosities, both political and religious. We must live here together, and we will die here to- gether, and do not forget that the in- terval between the going of the dead and the living are small. It was gen erosity more than anything else that immortalized the great Commander Gen eral Grant. from this let us learn a les son. J. LAWLER DARBY.
