Underwood's request, brought in a rule limiting debate upon the bill to four hours and barring all amend ments. The republicans called the rule bad names, but under it the bill was duly passed and sent to the President. No one will say hereaft- CT that the House does not possess enough power whenever it desires to exercise it.
 The final vote on the cotton bill was 1S0 to 107, and in the affirma tive vote went the votes of eight in- surgent republicans from Minnesota, North Dakota and Oregon.
 Mr. Underwood is affable and mild under ordinary circumstances, but when the stress of time and war come together, he is as immovable as the iron man, Vulcan, out at Fair view. He stands to his principles and no cry of "gag rule" moves him a particle.

NeM Orleans Prosperous

Frank s. Drolla of New Orleans Is Tn
 Birmingham and will probably remain here until the end of the week. He rep resents the Morning Star Publishing com pany, which issues one of the best Cath ollie papers in America. It has the im- primatur of Archbishop Blenk. and is strongly commended by Bishop Allen of Mobile, who says he would be glad to see it in every Catholic home in Alabama.
 New Orleans is growing steadily,
 said MT. Drolla yesterday. Large i'm provements arc being made continually, and striking fact is that all of the city material progress is of the most substan- tial sort. New Orleans has always been attractive to tourists, and 1t will long continue so. While certain modernizing tendencies are remarked, the quaint fea- lures are still there and will remain, and the social atmosphere is, as it always will be, peculiar to New Orleans. We have a delightful city, and anyone who has lived there never tires of speaking in praise of New Orleans The native born is, as rule. not only an orderly person, but full of good nature. He Is quite diff ferent from Americans found outside of our boundaries. Yes, prosperity abounds in New Orleans. and the city is all the while advancing.

wAGNER,s AUTOBIOGRAPHY

From the Boston transcript
 It is very amusing to see the articles that are being printed in various Euro rean and American papers with refer ence to the Wagner autobiography. A great many of these articles express great surprise and horror at the evil revela- tons of Wagner-as -a-man, which he is thought to have made in this book. AS a matter of fact if the writer of these va rlous critical and harsh reviews are ex- an,ined with reference to their past opin- iop of Wagners music, it will be found that ip the majority of cases their dispar- agina opinions of the man coincide with their disparaging opinion of the music which they held at least in the early days hefore the Wagner vogue was so stong and overmastering as to make any strong stand against it now silly. Certainly while men may quarrel with Wagner Tor the taste he displayed in showing the skeleton of his home to the world so e-early. vet no one will declare that he has attempted to conceal anything that would be to his discredit, with the ex- ception of one episode. On the whole. then. the detractors of Wagner, the man. gre the same as the old detractors or ms music. q. s.=.- tfttss.
