The abSurdlty, neaItness iuu
wickedness of the platform OF the
June convention in regard to the
public debt are bad enough; but
worse than this (if anything can be
worse) 1t. is wholly impracticable
short of direct reputation.
The effort under this platform Is
to elect to the next Legislature a
majority of members who will re-
fuse to levy a tax to meet the settle
ment at 60-3-4-5-6 upon the ground
that it was the result of a Republi-
can trick perpetrated in the face Of
known majority Of the people
against it. Now this trick when
consummated by acceptance on the
part Of the bondholder will never
thelesS constitute Il binding obliga-
ton upon the State. AS decided in
the late 1908 case the motives OF
members of the Assembly in voting
for public act cannot be inquired
into. To refuse them to levy tax
to meet a binding obligation is re-
pudiation.
But waiving this for the present,
suppose q majority in the coming
Legislature may refuSe TO levy a
tax to meet interest on this settle
ment, and that they do decline to
do so. What then? They then
make the offer to the railroad bond
holder of 50-3. Does this mean
take that or nothing? II 1t does,
then 1t is direct Reputation for the
same principles would justify an
offer of 2-l or nothing. Does it mean
take that and If you do not we will
do better? But ii cannot, because
the people have endorsed the plat
form at %. 3, and the majority can
20 no higher for the lack of authori-
ty from the people. If this be the
| true construction of the platform
then the next Legislature cannot
make a settlement of the debt, iis
there is no earthly probability that
the bondhOlder will accept a bond
of 50-3 when he has in his hands
one of 6O-3-4-5-6. If he should pos
sibly accept 1t, ii would be because
he felt that il was this or nothing
and this brings US back again to re-
pudiatiOn.
The utmost then that the next
Legislature could do with major
ity under the platform of the June
conyention would be, having made
an abortive offer of 50-3, to leave
the matter to future Legislatures
But can a State thus indefinitely
postpone the payment of a debt
which no respectable lawyer denie:
has become legal obligation undel
the last act of Assembly? lndefi
mite pOstponement is Repatriation.
If we are determined not to pay
the railroad bonds let us say so al
once and be done with it. We car
still live on a sort of manned ant
crippled life. But the pity of 1T is
that The life of a State has no end

The Alabama Goals.
Mobile Register.

The energy displayed in develop
ing the resources OF the State OF
Alabama Is in some respects un-
paralleled In the history Of railroad
management In fhe south. The
coal interests alone have received
such attention and care that II is
fair to assume that within the next
decade very little coal will be used
in the Gulf States other THAI that
of Alabama. Vast quantities OF
coal are being mined to-day within
a radius OF forty miles Of Birming-
ham, and during the next twelve
months the output Of the mines In
the same area will probably hq
three times that of the present.
These Goals are being shipped to all
the Gulf ports and several Atlantic
ports, and are coming in successful
competition with Pennsylvania,
Maryland, English and Scotch
Goals. The gas company OF the
city of New Orleans, by reasons Of
the cheapness and excellent quality
OF the coal itself and the fayorahth
adjustment Of the rates OF freight,
will use Alabama coal next year In
the manufacture OF gas. We are
advised that large quantities OF this
coal are being shipped to points IN
Texas, and that contracts have been
made In Mobile FIR coating govern
ment vessels, while the strong prob.
abilities are that coal will be ship
ped during the next twelve months
to Cuban and other West Indies and
South American ports.
Whatever we have HIid OF coal is
equally true OF the iron interests OF
the State. 1t may be no new fact,
but II Is well worthy Of mention
here, that pig iron is being shipped
to-day throughout the northern
States, and even TO. Pittsburg, tho
home OF iron and coal. IL Is proba-
BILE that no portion OF the United
States presents SO inviting field to
the capitalist as the iron and coal
regions of Alabama.

A DISTINGUISHED statesman o

4 DIsTINGUIsHED statesman of
Tennessee who is now for Bate and
repudiation said two years ago in
the Memphis Avalanche:
'sThe charge of collusion and
fraud between BroWnlow and those
representing the railroads may, for
aught | know, be true, but it is on
ly fair to state that during the ses-
sion of the legislature Of 1869 and
1870 a committee was appointed to
investigate these and other alleged
frauds which continued its sittings
and examination of witnesses and
documentary proof for months and
made report of several hundred
printed pages; and during the ses-
sion OF 1877 a similar committee was
appointed thai traverSed the State
from end to end and made pro-
tracted investigation and eXamlna-
ton of all matters of alleged fraud
connected with the State debt,
which committee also made quite a
voluminOus report aud yet any one
who will take the pains to read
these reports and scrutinize the evil
dcnce will be compelled to admit
that there is no proof of any corrupt
official act on the part ot either
BroWnloW- or. Senter during their
rqSDactiYo termS.'

mence business at q. M, and close
at 8 p. M, but sometimes the clerks
are kept there later. The members
of the Board get 81 each for every
bond that Is funded, which is paid
by the person presenting the bonds
to be funded. Mr.. Lucas thinks
that the members of the Board have
made about 5000 each since they
commenced funding.
The gentleman was asked how
many bonds had been presented,
and he replied about eight millions
and half, which, he said, would
make about five millions and a half
OF new bonds funded. They were
receiving $75, 900 to 100000 in old
bonds per day when he left. One
day while he was there he saw
them take in 1925, 900 in bonds, but
that was an extra day. The last
day he was there, which was Mon
day, Mr.. Peter Geddis brought in
500, 900 in bonds, and MIR. Eugene
Kelly brought in about $4,000, for
which they received new bonds.
Mr. Lucas said that he learned before
leaving New York that a man
named Terry was expected to arrive
from England with large number
of bonds to be funded into new
bonds. He did not know how
many bonds Mr.. Terry represented.
Messrs. Geddis and Kelly represent
good many bonds themselves, and,
besides, control a great many on the
outside. 4
The reporter asked Mr.. Lucas
why there was no more activity in
the way & funding, and he said
that he supposed that it was done
to keep the Funding Board there
until after the coming election in
Tennessee, so that the bondholders
could tell what kind of d Legislature
was elected.
He gave this simply as an opinion
of his own.
Mr.. Lucas then went on to de-
scribe the workings of the Board.
He said the holders of the bonds
would bring them there and present
them. They would then be taken
and their numbers put down. on
the CUmptroller's book, New bonds
are then issued and their numbers
are also received and placed opposite
the other numbers. Then a receipt !
is taken from each bOndholder that |
takes up new bonds. The great |
seal OF the State is put on the new
bonds. If "a man brings in suffi- !
cient amount of old bonds to get Il
certain number of new bonds, and
there are two or three hundred dol
lars over, that amount is issued in
scrip, which can be sold at sixty
cents In the dollar, or he can buy
scrip to get him another
oOnd. Most of the bondholders, as
'oon as they get the new bonds in
heir possession, clip off the past
lue coupon for interest due the first
)f last July and the Continental
Bank cashes it for them. If it is
aiken from a $1,000 bond he gets
;l5, and if taken from $500 bond
he is paid $3.50. ".

SENATOR MORGAN.
a Former Res,osnt Of Alabama Mas wcrd

Nashville Ranner

A former resident OF the debt

a Tennessee State Credit or sky-blue
Democrat, begs to suggest to the
distinguished Senator from Ala
bama, Gen. John T. Morgan, the
improperly of making speeches in
Nashville advocating the election of
Gen. Bale, the Readjuster candidate
for Governor:
1t is, indeed, passing strange that
one who was so thoroughly en- rap
port with the progressive spirit of
national Democracy, when, two
years ago, in convention assembled,
ii pledged itself to the maintenance
OF public faith, State and national,
should at this early day raise his
voice In furtherance of Readluster
movement. The State debt ques.
tion-really the only persistent issue
in the present gubernatorial contest
lis one which requires careful
study, and continued application for
its thorough unfolding and compro.
hension, and that a United States
Senator from the grand old COM
monwealth OF Alabama, which has
redeemed every pledge made her
creditors, should appear in Tennes-
see In advocacy OF the election OF a
candidate pledged to the readjust-
ment of Il debt settlement proposed
by the holders of Tennessee bonds
(who thereby voluntarily surren-
dered 40 per cent. of the debt), and
accepted by the last Legislature i'm

Bile, save on the hypothesis that the
distinguished gentleman has not
given the subject that attention
which II certainly merited from one
so eminent in affairs political.

harmonicon, framed the Readjuster
platform are Scratching the plat.

1t has always seemed to the wri-
ter that II a candidate did not rep

ssuA Genuine cNn Service Reform.

From Chauncey Black Essny ON Jefferson.
Mr.. Jefferson's sovereign cure for
all the ills OF the State was the in-
PRODUCTION of the most rigid ecOno-
my; frugal government Is seldom
corrupt and never oppressive. He
cut down the great military and
naval establishments bequeathed
by the Federalists as rapidly as the
law permitted, and finally with the
aid Of Congress, reduced the army
to about 5000 men, which were all
that an honest government had any
use for. He reduced the diplomatic
force to the three Ministers at Lon
don, Paris and Madrid. He dis
missed unnecessary officials as fast
as Investigation disclosed their ex-
istence. He directed Gallatin to
and invited eVery aTu In4rhc-wn,N
of reform. The whole system Of In
ternal taxation, including three
fourths OF the whole civil list, was
abolished Mt blow, and the def
cheney supplied by Jefferson's inva-
riable expedient, economy. When
he had exhausted his discretion he
appealed to Congress for authority
to make further reductions, and the
curious spectacle was presented OF
an Executive petitiOning the Legis-
lature for the permission to surren-
der power and to give up patronage:
The result was the rapid decrease OF
the public debt, which the Fcder-
alists had regarded ms "national
blessings" and the rise Of a new
question, new indeed, in every part
of the earth, "What should be done
with the surplus ?" OF this Gov
ernment, in truth, the people know
nothing but the blessings; its bur-
dens were imperceptible. This was
"the system of Jefferson" II was
faithfully continued under his lin
cal descendants, Madison and Mon
roe, and has never, for an instant OF
time, ceased to command the delib-
crate approval Of the American
people.

EdVcdtron m Teleqraphy.

+ There are quite a number of tele-
graph colleges in the country under
the management of men who claim
to be professors" and advertise
extensively that young men may
become ''tirst. t.class." 2" Competent"
or proficient" operators within
three or four months also claiming
that situations are plentiful and
salaries in excess of what operators
actually get. Now, in order to free
the public mind OF any delusi0n, /
wish to state that these colleges are
not what they clairn to be, and the
professors statements are un-
and become thoroughly disgusted
and give it up as a useless undertak-
ing.
[ have at the present time a GER
tificate signed by three young men,
formerly students of telegraph
college, which give conclusive evil
dencc of the truth of this statement;
and without going into further de-
tail, l respectfully submit the fol-
lowing extracts published i'll" Good
mans Business Messenger" in
which Prof. Frank Goodman says
in answer to the question, "Do you
teach telegraphy ?"
ave have over four hundred communica-
tions on file, asking the above question, ana
have taken up much time i'll answering,
that we did not, and giving our reasons for
not engaging in this business"
Referring to students, he says:
"During the three years we acted as secre-
tary for two leading telegraph institutes, we
observed that nt IpnGt thfep-fQurtnS became
discouraged in the course of three or four
months, because they had not adv" -lced as
rapidly as they had anticipated, or the ad-
vertisements had led them to believe, and
a majority of the remaining fourth exhaust
ed their means before they could do ordlna-
ry work. We have seen students practce
day and night for six months, and then not
be able to send or receive TO any degree OF
satisfaction to themselves or others; in fact
not one out of thirty ever has obtained
charge of an office, and not one Ofthis num-
ber took charge of n commercial ofhce. Al
least twenty-five out OF thirty ofthe students
of the institutes returned 10 their former oc-
cupations, and did not use what they had
learned, and as a general thing they blamed
the telegraph institute, and many cursed IT.
There were over three hundred students
that we came in contact with at two insti,
tutes and we are willing that they should
testify to the correctness of our statements.
AS to the colleges, the Messenger
further says:
'Therefore in view of facts like the iorego-
ing, we decided that we would have nothing
to do with any profession that left SO many
Young men helpless and consequently cause
curses to be heaped upon our heads, and we
have often stated, and do now, that we
would not accept, as a gift, half interest ID
the best equipped telegraph institute In
America, and be compelled to retain oui
connection with 1t.
The above are actual facts, and
hope will have the effect of placing
the telegraph colleges before the
public in their true character.
