" French publishers have entered into an agreement to furnish .good literature to this country. The chief need, however, ingists the New York American, is that American publish ers enter into an agreement to fur nish good literature to this countiry. “When an Assyrian girl takes a husband she doesn’t speak for three days,” says-.the New Haven Journal'- Courier. Doubtless the male popula tion of the country, surmises the Washington Herald, has long ago ceased to build up false hopes about that apparently seductive fact, how ever. Says the Louigville Courier-Jour nal: “Beginning to fight disease after it has developed is a bad beginning compared to fighting it before it de velops. Where there is proper ven ilation in living rooms, working rooms and sleeping rooms there are fewer anaemie pergons and fewer probable vietims of tuberculosis.” Tender hearted people have regard ed the destruction of house flies by the approved patent methods as cru elty, and have contented themselves with “shooing’ them from the house bold region. If the scientists are cor rect in their conclusions, argues the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, a war of extermination of the house fly will be in order, but it will be a pro 4£racted camgsl;n. ' While it is easy enough to advocate ~old-aga pensions in the abstract, in : Blsts the New Orleans Plcayune, it is ©a very aifficult matter to find the “money with which to pay. In Ger “many old-age pensions are provided for by a process which places one wthird of the tax on the working peo ple themselves, one-third on the em ployers of labor and the remaining third on the Government, “ —————————— " TThero is no doubt that the upper Mississippi Valley should secure the AMmprovement of the waterway to a vaseful and reliable depth, contends tthe Pittsburg Dispatch.

Each contributes in his own fashion to bring law “into disrepute by the practical trucé:‘?n?ider which each has his own way and the city has strict laws and a liberal Sunday at the same time.

Will Decide Uliti mate Action. At Washington Wednesday night Charles Knapp and Dr, Charles P. Neill, the mediators between the Soyth ern railway officials and their employ es, reached an agreement by which the present wage scale on the South ern rallway, for all the organizations concerned, will be continued until the first of next July. The mediators, after a full considera tion of all the conditions incident to the inquiry, were of the opinion thay the railroad should not insist on a re duction of wages at this time. The company, through its officials, and the employes, has accepted this judgment, The Mobile and Ohio and Queen and Crescent lines are included in the agreement. Messrs. Knapp and Neill, late Wednesday night, gave out a sign ed statement covering the result of their efforts to bring about a settle ment asg follows: “The mediators who have endeay ored to settle the pending controversy between Southern railway and allied companies and their contract labor, in accordance with section 2 of the Erd man act, have found the employes un willing at thig time to accept a reduc tion of wages, because of the opinion of these employes that the present de pression in business has not continued for a sufficient period to Justify a re duction, “Under all the circumstances of the case, irrespective of its merits, we are of the opinion that the interests of the public will be promoted, as well ag the interests of all parties to the contro versy, if the companies shall not insist upon the proposed reduction at- this time, “Accordingly we have recommended to the companies to continue the pres ent schedule of wages until July Ist, next, upon the understanding that if by that time business conditions have not substantially improved the matters in dispute will be taken up again by the mediators with the view of reaching such an adjustment of the wage scale as may seem to be just under the con ditions then existing, “We take great pleasure in announec ing that this recommendation has been accepted by the companies and by their employes in the operating, mechanical and roadway departments represented by their organizations.” ATTACKC PROHIBITION LAW. Case from Augusta, Ga., Before Court of Appeais as Test. Because it contains a coastitutional question for construction, the Georgia state court of appeals at Atlanta, on Wednesday, certified to the supreme court the case of Frank MeNelis of Augusta vs, the State, which is the irst suil in the state court attacking the, constitutionality of the state pro hibition law, McNelis was convicted in the city court of Richmond county, before Judge Eve of violating the state pro hibition law, and was fined $250 and costs or sentenced to spend six months on the chaingang. McNelis demurred to the indictment in the lower court, but the demurrer was overruled and the fine imposed, MecNelis attacks the state prohibi tion law on the ground that it is un constitutional becanse, he states, the constitution requires the general as sembly to levy a tax upon the sale of liquor for the support of the public schools of the state. There is noth ing«new, in this groumnd, the same claim having béen made by certain brewers ‘who sought but did not secure injunc tion from the Uglited Stutes court. ; The, state ‘prohibition law is also ‘claimed by ‘McNelis to be invalid on account of irregularities in the man ner of its passage by thé general as sembly, chargeé in connection with ‘'which his petition goes into miaute details.

DEMOCRATS FILIBUSTER, House Session Extended Far Into the Night by Dilatory Tactics—A Bat tle Royal Was Waged, Formal notice was served on the democrats in the house of representa tives late Thursday by Mr. Payne of New York, the leader of the majority, that from that time on the republi cans would lock horns with the demo crats and carry through the program of the majority, in spite of the attempt of the minority, under the leadership of Mr, Williams of Mississippi, to dfc tate the character of legislation to be enacted. Immediately undertaking to carry this schedule into effect, he forc ed the latest sitting of the session. Both sides were able to kesp their members in their seats, and it soon be came evident that the threatened dem ocratie filibuster wag “on” in real ear nest, and that the republicans were de termined to at least test the sincerity of their opponents. The democrats, after the passage of the agricultural appropriation bill, had interposed obstructive tactics against any businesg being done. After sever al measureg had been refused consider ation by reason of these tactics, Mr, Payne called up the resolution to re fer to the several committecs the president’s recent special message to congress, Observing that the democrats were preparing to place obstructions in the way of its consideration unless ample time should be given for general de bate, Mr. Payne asserted that “be cause of the hypocrisy of those on the other side,” meaning the democrats, no general debate would be - allowed, Mr. Payne denounced the demoecratic filibuster begun last Monday, in pursu ’ance of the notice given by Mr. Wil liams a week ago, and characterized the action of Mr. Williams as “puerile.” The democrats, he contended, were in no position to lay down a program of action for the republicans. “The ma- Jority,” he said, “have charge of the business of the house, and the business will go-through just as the majority decide it shall go through.” “Go to your own leader, the gentle man from Mississippi,” he shouted at the top of his voice, “and ask him to stop this fillbustering. Ask him to cease his objection, and when he stops his objections and his filibustering, tl:nenl the business of the house will proceed in the usual way—" £ “Do nothing,” a voice on the demo cratic side was heard to say. - “—Otherwise,” said Mr. Payne, “we will transact business in our own way In spite of your opposition.” Dillatory tactics were kept up.uxft't?@ 10:09 p. m. when the house, by a vute of 121 to 81 adjourned, and the strug gle for the time being was over.

Af ter two sessions were held, at the con clusion of which permanent organiza tion had not been accomplished, the convention adjourned until Friday. The Nebraska delegates declared they would bolt if the convention at tempts to place a ticket in the field at thisg time, Their leader said: “Nebraska is in earnest about this matter, and we shall bolt if the con vention attempts to nominate Thomas E. Watson or any one else. We are not alone, for we have assurances that Min nesota, Georgia, and possibly Michizan and Kansas will walk out when we do.” Colombia Troops Invade Panama.

MATTER IS UP TO SENATE Root, in Strongest Language, De mands That Vigorous Action Be Taken Against President of Scuth American Republic. The long expected correspondence between America and Venezuela re specting pending American claims against the latter country was submit ted to the senate Tuesday and is almost certain to create a profound impres sion. It will be difficult to digest the vast mass of material which Secretary Root hag placed before congress, but even a cursory inspection of the docu ments makes it evident that the ne gotiétions have reached a critical phase, The president’s realization of that fact is shown by his transmission of the matter to the senate without any comment, regarding the correspond ence, and especially Secretary RooUs strong presentation of the American case, as sufficient to instantly enlist the attention of congress. All the correspondence and docu ments were referred to the senate com mittee on foreign relations, Those members of the senate com mittee who have already familiarized themselves with the situation have ar ranged tentatively a program as fol lows: “Place a prohibitive tariff on Venezu elan coffee, the exporis of which con stitute 45 per cent of the entire Ven ezuelan foreign trade and 90 per cent of the coffee is taken by the United States. | “Exclude all importations of asphalt from Lake Bermudez the product ot‘ which has been taken almost entirely by the United States, “Authorize the president to exercise the general power invested in him to take whatever steps he may consider necessary to treat with Venezuela in the future.” In isuing general instructions to the American ministar, Secretary Root said: “You will call the attention of the - government of Venezuela to the fwet that notwithstanding the long and un broken friendship manifested by the United States for Venezuela; notwith- I standing the repeated occasions #on which the United States has intervened as a friend in need to relieve Venezue la from disagreeable and dangerous complications with other powers; not withstanding the patience and consid eration which has a.lwa\ys character ized the action of this government to wards Venezuela, the government of Venezuela has within the last few years practically confiscated or destroy ed all the substantial property inter ests of Americans in that country. This -has been done sometimes in accordance with the forms of law and contrary to the spirit of law; sometimes without even form of law, by one device or another, with the action uof the gov ernment apparently always hostile to American interests until of many mil liong of dollars invested by Americans aothing remains.” MINERS LAY DOWN PICKS. Nearly Three Hundred Thousand Out in Northern Coav Fields. .A special from Indianapolis, Ind., says: Two hundred and fifty thousand picks dropped from the hands of as many bitumincus coal miners of the United States Tuesday evening, not to be used again until a wage settle ment has been reached and a scale adopted between the members of the United Mine Workers of America and the coal operators of the various flelds. Wednesday morning 260,000 men were idle, p The situation, however, does not indl cate a prolonged strike., An open win ter and industrial depression have left a large stock of coal on hand, and the differences between miners and opera tors are very slight, It is practically agreed that the present wage scale will be continued, but some policies in connection with the change in the na tional officers of the miners’ organiza tion which went into effect Wednes day andlocal differences detween op erators and miners have resulted in temporary suspension from work ungil an ew wage scale is agreed to either by districts or individual mines, LOVE AN® ADMIRATION .——4",— For Heflin Sent by Alabamians in Tel ? egraphic Mé'uége.‘ 2 Eighty cltizens‘_';of Roanoke,.
