Did Mr.. Gardner remain in Wash
ngton to see what the process OF
evolution would evolve. and to again
champion his measure when the oc-
casion should arise? That he did not,
is, we say again, no discredit to Mr..
Gardner. Other great artists have re-
fused to respond to an encore.
But we are negleeting Mr.. Hamp-
ton. The Journal appeals to its read
ers not to indulge in audible CONVERSE
ton. Mr.. Hampton will proceed:
"For a quarter of a century Post
master General after Postmaster Gen.
eraI, Congress after Congress, told the
farmers that the only reason they did
not get Parcel Post was that four
sants-the. to.lf. hts was in Congress
these express company giants were
too big for Edwin C. Burleish. They
scared him until he did not dare to
peep. But Obadiah Gardner was no
sooner in the Senate than, like David
of old, he went forth to battle with
the giants. He struck at once with
the mighty blows of fearless man in
deadly earnest, and instead OF Gard
ner being scared it was the express
companies that were scared, and back
of the express companies stood
Standard Oil and the trusts still more
scared"
Yes. we can hear them tremble, and
in view of Mr.. Gardeners record on
reciprocity, it is highly prob
able that the farmers of Maine are
also scared. Please proceed, Mr..
Hampton:
"But if Gardner could be defeated
for re- election the express companies
would yet be safe and the greatest
of all dangers to monopoly-that of
the organized farmers solidly united
behind their own leaders in the Sem
ate--wouId have passed. And SO the
word went out from Wall street that
the farmer Senator must be destroyed
at all hazards and safe man-safe
for Wall street-selected to succeed
him. Farmers, do you understand
why Burleish, and not Heath or Pow
ers, won the nomination in the pri-
They do now, Mr.. Hampton, but
they didn't before. They had suppos-
ed it was because he, received the most
votes. but you have put them wise,
and they now see clearly that it was
a put-up job between Wall Street and
Edwin c. Burleigh. You have solved
the mystery.

AGREES WITH O'NEA| ON TAX SITUATION
Judge Lane Says Governor Statement Contained the
 Real Facts

That the statement of Gov. Emmf O'Neal about the recent tax increast here was most admirable in tone and 1 It's array of facts was the opinion esI pressed by Commissioner A. O. Lane vel terday. He said that the governor WI absolutely correct in his arraignment ( the situation. and while he did not knol whether the individual valuations wer right or wrong. yet equalization shout be made.
 You cannot right one wrong by conI hitting another." said Judge Lane. "Anl 1t does not matter whether or not orI county is lower than Jefferson. The quel tion is whether our assessments here al on fair valuation at 60 per cent.
 T think Governor O'Neal in his statf ment yesterday morning was eminentl correct. While I am not informed as | the correctness of individual assessment yet the general proposition of bringirI the property owner up to the law is nd wrcng. If all counties would pay thel just proportion, whether or not one q higher than the other, then the sta would be all right

CONFER ON WATER
 RATES SATURDAY
Lynn Will Appear Before Commission to Inspect
 Upton Report

A. M. Lynn, president of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company, has notified the city commissioners that he will be in Birmingham in time for a consultation with that body Saturday. At this joint conference the city will take up with President Lynn and Su- perintendent D. J. O'Connell of this city the recent expert report prepared by Engineer W. L. Upton as. to the suplimentary proposition made on wa ter rates by the company. No indica- tion has been given yet as to what the report contains, but it Is said there Is Q wide variance of opinion between MT. Upton and the Waterworks com pany.
 The commissioners desire to get through with negotiations with the Waterworks company as quickly as possible, although every caution will be observed to reach an equitable agreement. It is said to be far fetched conclusion to believe that any litigation will result from the nego- tiatlonS.

has already done, but the citizens of Jeff ferson county do not propose to have their property raised to enormous pro- portions and permit other counties of the state to go without raises, or practically without raises, and take more money
 out of the treasury than they put in, so long as they can resist by legal process. ''The injustice and inequality of the tax assessment in the state Is emphasized by an examination of the last auditors re- port, wherein 1t is seen that only Il coun ties In the state paid into the state treas
 ury more than they took out, whereas 56 counties in the state drew out of the treasury sLO25,000 more than they paid
 into the state treasury. Let the governor and the state tax commission proceed to make each Of the counties pay its own ex- penses and when that is done they will never hear any complaint from the citi- zens of Jefferson county.
 The governor in his interview calls attention to sections 214s, 2149 and 2l52 of the code. The governor overlooked in his
 interview section 2250 of the code. He calls attention in his interview to article of chapter 45 of the code, which con tans the sections referred to by him. That article refers to the powers and duties of the county commissioners and of the probate judge touching assess ments. Such assessments as are made RS lilt touItg ldX dSStSSOT. IL mas no reference whatever to the assessments made by the county tax commissioner. That section which governs in reference to the assessments made by the county tax commissioner Is section 225O of the code, and if the governor will examine that section. together with sections 2261 and 226S he will find that 1t is within the discretion of the board of revenue to file or not to file any increased assess ments made by the county tax commis- sioner, as they may see fit and proper, under the evidence
 The men who participated in the mass meeting and those who went before the board of revenue are not anarchists, nor are they lawless. We are perfectly will ing. for the governor to pick them out and individually or collectively compare them with himself, as to sobriety, morali- ty, character for tax paying, and debt playing, and we feel sure that no man in the meeting will suffer by the com parison."

Catcher Pierre was signed by Bessemer yesterday morning and caught d splendid game. He will materially strengthen the team as he Is a very heady player and a good backstop. Bessemer should go well this week.
 Outfielder Forsythe and Catcher Far row were released yesterday by Manager Hickman. It Is probable that Baker will pitch for Bessemer this afternoon, while Tom Kane, who has been going nicely recently. will twirl. for the visitors. A close game will ensue.
