WHERE ARE wE?-In political point of view scarcely know whether we our head or heels! There has been such "jumping of Jim Crow" among the politicians at Washington as al- most to disable from telling who are our political enemies and who (besdes the democracy) friends. Certes, ''the gentleman who officiates President of these United States" as Webb in his btterest vein calls the veto President, has grown in our favor of late. His capacity lodging the lasso of his willy foes, and "headng' the ''headers," has really raised hIm peg in esteem, and we cannot help repeating and ruminating upon the thought, that good democrat has been spoiled by keeping con ioundedly bad company. We are not going to sup port Mir. Tyler's administration, however, because he has thrown overheard even the worst of the abom nations of the federal extra-session Our broad bot toned boat of democracy contains other "abstrac- tions" than those of untiring hostility moneyed 1 and political bank. Mir. Tyler cannot go per-cargo unless he with the wing of his sstonal prerogative all the rights of the people and of the states, which Clay and his band of bank grants are striving to make lawful prize to their law less ambition. In the mean time, except so far as upholdng John Tyler and his government, in all that is right we are almost without occupation Our late enemy engaged in the domestic Killkenny cat fight, has not scratch to spare for modest asd retiring democrats.

CHARITY SERmoN.-We are gratifed to learn that BISHOP PORTER will preach a charity ser mon on the next sabbath, in aid of the Samaritan fund of the city of New Orleans. This is an appeal
 to the grateful feelings of every member of the Mobile community, which we think cannot be made m vain. We owe the good Samartans" of that city, an ever lasting debt of gratitude for the promptness and eff
 cheney of their charitable aid in the memorable sum- of 1899. It will be remembered that that gene rous association sent to in the hour of afiction, twelve of their members, several and phy- sician to minister to the of the sick and ing and to aid in bestowng the last solemn offices upon the dead. ae fi a'H '.
 None but those who were here, witnesses of the extent of the dreadful scourge can form an idea of the value of that assistance, the generosity and devotion that prompted It. The population of the city all tod then reduced three or four thou sand. It was estimated by the medical faculty, that at period, in the latter end of September, 1900 persons were stretched upon their backs with the disease. There was not sufficient number in health to attend upon the sick, and instances were not nfequent of the nterment of the most respecta- ble citizens, accompanied by half dozen friends without minister the Gospel to perform the last solemn rites their mortal remains.
 Assistance generously rendered under such circum- stances-charty in that time of. need, cannot be for gotten. alaa aaahl New Orleans is now suffering as Mobile did in 1889. The noble society Is devoting the health and strength of its members and the utmost of it's pecunary resources to the same diviney charitable purposes We called upon to contribute to this Godlike work of humanity. Let us do it, as if our hearts were in it, if every mite of contribution would prove solace and blessing to assuage the pain and smooth the dying pillow of the poor and destitute in that large city. Unfortunately the poor are the greatest sufferers from epidemic disease, Necessary exposure renders them most liable to its attacks, and inability procure the comforts of the sick roon--careiu nursing and constant medical at- tendance enhance the fatality of the disease. We hope the church on Sunday next may be crowded, with congregation of warm, grateful and charita- ble hearts. 1. ', -'
