HUNDREDS APPLAUD
 THE MARSE|LLAISE" AT CAPITOL PARK
Many Special Features at Community Singing and Much Enthusiasm Is
 Displayed

In spite of the high temperature in Birmingham yesterday afternoon the attendance at the community singing lat Capitol park reached about 5000, be- ing in no respect smaller than the average crowds that attend the Sunday afternoon exercises now being held there regularly under the direction of Robert Lawrence
 The features of the afternoons sing ing, which began at 5 o'clock, were the selections of Napprs band, the guar, tets from the First Methodist church choir, the two selections by the se- iected chorus of men and the xylo- phone solo by Ed Rau.
 The singing for yesterday afternoon has been pronounced as better than usual and participated in by larger number of persons than nave taken part previously. More enthusiasm is being shown. it is said, and the work is making progress in the way of gaining more effort.

WHY SOME FAIL AND OTHERS
SUCCEED.

Commercial clubs and public spirit
ed citizens are constantly helping to
form corporations to engage in bust
ness beneficial to the city in which
they are located. Some of these cor
porations succeed, others fail but the
lines which separate the successful
from the unsuccessful have no refer
ence whatever to any particular lines
of business. Corporations engaged in
the same kind of business succeed in
one city and fail in another, and the
reason why this is so is due to the
difference in the men who manage.
When the officers and directors of
a corporation strive to see how much
they can do to promote the company's
business it succeeds. When the Of
ficers and directors, or even a major
ity of them, are trying to see how
much they can get out of the corpora
ton it fails.

ONLY A LITTLE PREVIOUS.

The price of bar silver has not yet
increased so as to equal or exceed the
value of gold at the historic ratio Of
16 to 1. In our statement last week
that it had, the difference between bar
silver and standard or coin silver and
some other small differences were
overlooked. Bar silver is pure silver,
while silver used for coinage purposes
contains ten per cent of alloy or base
metal. An ounce of bar silver con-
tains 4SO grains of pure silver, while
an ounce of silver used for coinage
purposes contains only 1872 grains Of
pure silver. 1t is only $40 fine.
Our comments last week on the
money question were correct, everlast-
ingly correct, with the single excep-
ton noted above, and in that respect
we were a little previous. That is all.

NICHOLAS MURRY BUTLER DE-
MANDS EXPULSION OF LA
TOILETTE FROM SENATE.

In an address delivered at the re-
cent meeting of the American Bank
ers' Association, Nicholas hurry But
Ter, president of Columbia University
demanded that Congress exercise its
constitutional right and expel La
Toilette from the United States Sen
ate. Here are some of the things
which he said in support of his de-
mand:
1--WE are repelling attacks upon
American people and institutions by
two kinds. We are fighting across the
sea, and we are fighting evil-minded
suspicion, cowardice and treason
which have raised their heads at
home. Our soldiers can fight the SOL
diers of the enemy. You and I have
got to fight sedition and treason here.
"Have the American people lost
their capacity for corporate indigna-
tion?" he asked
"There is a provision in the Con-
stitution providing that Congress may
expel member by two-thirds vote.
What are they thinking of to sit there
and permit themselves to be contain
mated by Senator Robert M. La Fol-
Letter."
Cries of approval came from every
side as DR.. Butler proceeded.
"GENTLEMEN, YOU MIGHT JUST
AS WELL PUT POISON INTO THE
FOOD OF EVERY BOY THAT GOES
TO HIS TRANSPORT AS TO PER
NIT THIS MAN TO MAKE WAR UP
ON THE NATION IN THE HALLS OF
CONGRESS-.
II am a native son Of New Jersey,
which has two patriotic sons in the
Senate I call upon them to take the
lead.
"I am a citizen of New York. New
York has two patriotic sons in the
Senate. I call upon them to take up
the challenge. No single act would
go so far to shorten the war;"
Again the audience applauded.

SENATOR CUMMINS' CONVERSION
TO PROHIBITION.

On Tuesday, June 9th, 1882, a ma
jority of the voters of Iowa cast theil
ballots in favor of constitutional
amendment, to prohibit the manufac-
ture or sale of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes in this state.
Among the campaign speakers who
took part in the contest which preced'
ed that election, were Senator Cum
minis and the writer. Cummins op'
posed the amendment and the writer
favored it. For that reason it gives
the writer more than ordinary pleas
ure to print the following message
from our Senior Senator to the allied
temperance committee:
Thirty years ago was oppos-
ed to statewide prohibition in Iowa;
and especially to constitutional prohi-
bition. then felt it would increase
rather than decrease the consumption
of liquor.
"The whole situation has changed.
Our experience during that time has
revolutionized the habits. thought, and
disposition of the people, and l am
now earnestly for statewide prohibit
ton, and particularly constitutional
prohibition.
"The day of liquor drinking and
liquor selling has passed. EverNsane
man knows and admits that the world
would be better in every way morally,
physically and industrially without Ii
quor than with it. Everybody sees
that the prohibition movement is
bound to win and that the people of
this country at least are going to live
and die sober.
1.-THE constitutional amendment now
before the the voters of Iowa is of the
highest Importance and ought to be
adopted by an overwhelming majority,
not only to put the question forever at
rest at home, but for it's effect else
where

SILO SAVINGS.

The hum and swish of the ensilage
cutter is abroad in the land. Farmers
have learned that by feeding only the
ears they lose nearly half the food
value Of the corn crop. BY turning
the leaves and stalks into silage the
saving is fully 40 per cent
For winter milk production there
Is nothing equal to the silo

Extend Helping Hand.

Many Of the worlds failures would
hove been splendid successes. if, in
their struggling stage, some one had
reached out helping hand to them
had spurred them on when the bitter
ness of disappointment crushed them.
There is, indeed, a moral here. The
woman isn't living who cannot do some
bit of good. Then let her lose no
time in doing tin Offering the word
Of hope or encouragement which is
the greatest stimulus the world ever
knew.
