GET IN LINE.

The following resolutions were adopted by the State Democratic Executive Com mittee at it's meeting in Montgomery this week:
 Resolved, That the various county and Con- gressional Democratic Executive Committees are urged to take necessary steps to organize Democratic Clubs in the various counties and precincts of the State with view to effecting a thorough organization of our party for the Congressional campaign.
 Resolved, further, That, whereas, at our last meeting we passed the following: Re- solved, That all who in good faith support and vote for the nominees of the Democratic party in the approaching Congressional election, and thereby identify themselves with the Democratic party, shall be entitled to partici- pate in the future primaries of the party, without regard to how such person voted in past State or Federal elections
 And, whereas, it Is the earnest desire of this committee and every light-minded and fair Democrat in the state that every voter who believes in the principles of our party and de- sires peace, harmony and good government should stand united with us and take part in making the nominations and declaring the policies of our party; therefore, be it
 Resolved That the chairman be requested to issue an address setting forth the foregoing and urging all good citizens to unite with us and become members of our clubs, and assur- ing them of cordial welcome.
 This gives all who support and vote for the Democratic candidates for Congress an opportunity to participate in future coun- cils of the party. The Democratic party can be reunited, past differences are laid aside and forgotten. It is not question of what the voter has done, but what he will do. We call upon all Democrats to get into line. The battle now is against the old enemy of De nocracy. Radicalism has stuck up it's head again.

REPUBLICAN CONVERSION.

It is very remarkable, but it is equally undeniable, that already-at the very epen- ing of the Congressional campaign-tbe Republican attack on the Democratic tariff act is practically abandoned. The platform makers of course view with alarm the large reduction of duties, and are deeply grieved in a general way at the Democratic "as- sault on American industry;' but there seems to be q general agreement among these protection essayists not to undertake to point out the particular duties that ought to be higher, or the particular industries that have been ruined. The jeremiads of the Republican sGump orators are hazier still, if possible. They don't in terms ap- plaud the Democratic bill, it is true, and they are not going to applaud it while a Congressional election Is on, but not a spelbinder of them all is offering to show the particulars in which the Mckinley bill was righteous and the Democratic bill is wicked. The worst thing facile Tom Reed could think to say was that it was made by Southern men. No matter what is in an act of Congress, he is afraid that somehow it can't work well if Southern men drew 1t. Some of the speakers are saying some pretty smart things about the tariff legisla- tion, but these all refer to what is not in the bill-not to what is in it. We hear nothing about the various trusts which the Democrats have disabled; all the talk is of the sugar trust, that one Republican incubus which the genuine tariff reformers were not quite able to shake of tue back of the tax payer. In substance, the hardest thing they are saying of the Democratic party is that it Is harboring three or four Senators who are little better than Republicans. The Democratic speak CTS will talk boldly of the superiority of the Dem ocratic bill to the Mckinley bill The Republicans will be welcome to such com fort as they can get from depicting Messrs. German, Price, Smith and Camden, who prevented the bill from being as good as 1t ought to have been, by conforming it in a few particulars to the Mckinley bill.
 So far the one Republican leader who thinks the present law as a whole is not as good as the Mckinley law is Mir. Mckinley. Nobody else promises that the new law will be repealed if the Republicans get control of the government again. After the first step in Democratic tariff reform but one Republican voice is heard defending that Republican protection, which was indeed a monstrous fraud. Prediction confess sions, such as this, are rare indeed.

THE PRESBY1 BRIAN ORPHANS HOME
 AT TALLADEGA, ALA.

Christian Observer.
 A few weeks ago it was my privilege to spend a day or two as 6 guest of the Dr. phans' home at Talladega, and 1 was so impressed with what l saw and heard that l must tell your readers of it.
 or the elegant appointments with which the substantial brick mansion is furnished, and the spacious grounds surrounding it, It IS not my purpose to speak, but of the sixty children domiciled therein. Per- haps the most noteworthy feature of all is the uniform cheerfulness and even alacrity with which every request made by those in authority is obeyed. Every boy and girl seems ready and anxious to perform each task assigned him, and in no case did mo- tlce disposition to shirk work, or to be at all unruly or disc bedient. In their school room duties they were prompt, interested and intelligent, showing by their answers a careful training that would do credit to any institution of learning in the state.
 Especially Is their moral education cared for. At night, after evening worship in the chapel or school room, each student takes his Bible and voluntarily reads one or more chapters before going to his room. The boys have their own prayer meeting in their own domicile also. con- ducted by themselves. la awarding the prize Bibles last year to those Tn the Tal- ladega Sunday school who had memorized the Shorter catechIsm, sixteen of the seven- teen recipients were from the Orphans'
 
 already members Of the church.
 Such facts-and many others might be added-speak very loudly in favor of the good work being done by Mrs. Foster and her lovely family. Mrs. Kirkpatrick pre- sides over the school room with dignity and grace, and is rapidly going to the front in her chosen profession. At the re. cent meeting of the Alabama Educational association she was chosen directress of that body of teachers. She has just re- ceived her diploma as the only graduate of the C. l.. 5. E. for 1894 ID Alabama.
 MT. G. Foster has charge of the outdoor work of the home, and, judging from the dozen or more line Jersey COWS in the pas ture, and the Iuxuriant growth of vegeta- bles in the garden, to say nothing of the, Well-kept lawn and grounds around the home, the boys who are being trained by hls cultured hand and eye will make suc- cessful farmers wherever their lot may be cast.
 By the way, in closing, let me make an appeal in behalf of this band of noble boys. The home itself, although large, is too small to hold these sixty children with their guardians, so each night the twenty odd boys must go outside of the inclosure by benevolent gentleman. They should have at once building of their own inside the yard and connected with the main building. Were they not brave little fel- lows, they would be afraid to sleep thus unprotected, and should a bad boy get in to theIr number, how easy it would be for hun to organize parties to slip away at night, go down into the city and into mis- chief and no one be the wiser. Let us not thus expose these children.

A JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

Fifty years is long time-much more than the average lifetime. Men, there- fore, naturally note such periods. Just now Messrs. Perry Davis 6 Son of Provi- dence, R. l., the proprietors of Pain Killer, are celebrating the jubilee of that good old household remedy, and have doubled the capacity of their bottles with out increasing the price. This will of course make Pain Killer more popular than ever. For fifty years it has been the family medicine chest in countless homes in every country on the globe. Once given trial, it stays in any home, where, when anything happens, the bottle is reached for.
 When one reflects that two years is the average life of a patent medicine, these fifty years prove very plainly that if Pain Killer had not been all that it claims it would have gone into oblivion long years ago. The old limitations of Pain-Killer have gone the way of all substitutes, and the newer '-just as goodso are following on, for as long as some things are recog- nized as better than others Pain Killer will be recognized as the best and quickest relief for internal or external pain.
 When anything happens to you or yours, nine times out of ten you can cure it your self with Pain killer. 9-7-eod lot
