Morgan and Flair Bill.

In the face of Morgan's Bourbon blast
against the Blair bill, we set up the fact
that the Government has given the States
"a. .OOO. 900 acres of land for educational
purposes, which the States have made
worth fully $3OO,000,000 in their school
funds. Morgan takes the broad position
that the Federal Government is a mere
compact, existing by leave OF the ''sov-
ereign States," and has no business pre-
suming to give bountits or confer aid
upon its creators. This in the face oi g
donation to his own State during Jack
sons second term of 100000 worth OF
public lands to aid in improving Muscle
Shoals; and in the face of the further
fact that the same Congress giving Ala
bama this land distributed q cash surplus
from the Federal Treasury among the
States, and inaugurated the policy OF do
mating to the States a. ~ sSsmp lands
tHIthin their territories. Why, Mr.. Nor
gan. the General Government las given
away TO the States in one way and an
other fully one billion dollars, and tho
hiogest gift in the list was for the State
school funds.
We have said we were sorry live
State like Alabama should be misrepre
sented in the Senate by reactionary
| impracticable fogy, like Morgan. Ant
now comes the Montgomery -4drertiser
and accuses the people of that State witt
agreeing in their Senator's Bourbonism
| We don't believe a word OF it. We
know the press OF Alabama that repre-
sent anything but the period of stage
coaches and ragged slaves are fully OF
| posed to Morgan's tariff and educationa
| notion, which, the Birmingham Ag'
bluntly says, are about zone hundred
and fifty years behind the times"
| 1t would be most healthy sign o1
progress in our sister State if her people
should repudiate Morgan and his pread
amite nonsense, and send man Of the
present to take his Senatorial desk. .
Chattanooga Times
While we accord to Senator Morgan
honesty and sincerity in his political
convictions, we think him in error on the
Blair bill, and his position very greatly
detrimental to Alabama and the South
That majority of the people and the
press of the state, favor the Educational
bill we havn't the slightest doubt. The
Montgomery 4dreniser is certainly mis-
taken about the people of Alabama. Th
question ought to be, not where the pop
ular side is, but who is right, and what
is best for the interests 0f the State and
her peOple.-Merca1y.

are the natural outcome Of our ~ -
yict system. Given three mon. u

charge Of assault and battery Alex

Of the Christian people Of this state
who suffer such laws to remain un-

affair il heightened by the fart that
the supreme Court had reversed the
finding of the court convicting
poor Alex Crews. The verdict oi
the jury as follows t. II the sickenin-

"Ws the jury empanneled to investi-
gate the causes that led to the death OF
Alexander Crews, a colored man, now
living dead in the office OF the chief OF
police, after proper investigation exami-

the deceased came to his death from cruel
and inhuman treatment at the hands OF
those who had him in charge, and from
the evidence adduced before the jury

ommend that proper and lawful means

THE CARNIVAL AT NIGHT.
Nicoilet Avenue "a Fairy Scene--A
Gorgeous illumination

NIc0Sfet Avenue a FAIRY Scene.-A
Gorgeous illumination.
The feature of the day, beyond doubt
was the night illumination of Nicolet
avenue. and it was made certain that
throughout the Exposition period nothing
will prove a greater attraction or draw
more people to the city than this beautiful
and gorgeous display. The illumination
consists of two series of arches, one Of
which parallels either curb, while the other
crosses the street at the center of each
block. On the arches are set double rows
of globes, red. white and blue. at the
point of each street arch, and at each de-
preston OF the curb arches, pyramid of
ten globes rises, white in the center, blue at
one side and red at the other. The lines
stretch along the avenue Tor six blocks,
/ from Second street to Sixth, and the pict-
ure they form is surprisingly beautiful.
The avenue is Illuminated to a MONDAY
brliliancy, while the ensemble is fairy-like
and fanciful to high degree.
1t was announced the lights would be set
at s O'Clock, but by Z the avenue had be-
come the point of destination of half the
people and the vehicles i'll the city. The
crush was tremendous. By S o'clock the
street held so many vehicles that motion
was impossible, and the services of a large
squad of police became necessary to form
lines and permit teams to pass along. An
idea of this throng may DE obtained from
the fact that it required all hour and
twenty minutes for carriage to go two
blocks. On the sidewalks the condition was
worse, and finally the crush became SO great
that detail of police was stationed be-
tween Washington and Third to clear the
avenue of carriages and allow the crowd to
overflow into the streets. Thereafter the
street became promenade and was
thronged the remainder of the evening.
BY $50 o'clock the illumination was COM
plete and more perfect scene would be
difficult to imagine The street held a fas-
cination for the multitude, and not until the
lights were eXtinguished at II did the dis
persal take place. 1t was unanimously de-
cided this illumination was the great feature
OF the day, and congratulations were show
cred upon w. NJ. Regain, who first proposed
the scheme and to whose IaborS its success
is mainly due.
