Over i'm Alabama.

Colonel Reuben Il. Kolb'S manifesto
Summoning his frieadS from all parts Of
Alabama Ia meet him in Montgomery on
the LIST Of December and peacefully aid
him in taking possession of the govern
Or's office might under some circum-
stances lead To serious trouble. The AL
abamianS. however. are II sensible peo-
pie, ana il is not likely that they will
set up TWO state governments or resort
Ia violence To settle the claims of
MeSsrS. Oates and Kolb 10 the governor
ship.
Dual state governments were attempt
ed in reconstruction times in more thar
one southern state, but the results were
hy no means satisfactory. As far back
as 1872 Thomas Wilson Dorr claimed
that he had been elected governor Of
Rhode Island. Governor King refused
10 give way. and called on President Ty-
Ter for troops. but the president replied
that he would wait until they were act
ually necessary.
Borr. whose followers are called ''popu-
lists in JohnsonS CyclOpedia, organized
his government nj Providence. while
Governor King remained helpless at
Newport The president then sent fed
erIl troops into the state. DOrr failed
10 capture the Providence arsenal and
fled from the state. He soon returned,
ana with his little army threw up breast
works near Providencc \ week later the
force sent To attack the entertainments
found thai they had been abandoned.
DORIS government collapsed and Dorr
himself was convicted of treason and
sentenced 10 imprisonment for life. IN
1917 he was pardnncd
The insurgents diSbandcd in June, ana
i'm the following September Il state con
vcntion adopted state constitution
which embodied nearly every provision
Tint had been adopted hy Dorr aud his
followers.
Now. It goes without saying that the
people of Alabama do not want Il repc-
tition of this chapter of history. They
do not want civil strife. BUSINESS is Il
bigger thing than politics, and in these
hard times men are not going 10 leave
their farms and their business TO follow
the fortunes of any man who claims the
governors chair
Mr.. Tudrn acted wisely in diScourag-
ing those WHO desired 10 forcihlY seat
him i'm the presidents chair lie be
lcycd that the peace of the country was
more important than the presidency and
we feel confident that the people of Ala
bama win feel The same way about the
govcrnorShip.
# Colonel Koh'S friends assemble in
Montgomery il is 30 be hoped that they
will he peaceful and orderly and that
The supporters OF Governor Oates VIII
be i'm the same frame of mind. These
disputed questions i'm politics should be
settled hy courts or legislatures, and not
by mass meetings.

President Cleveland has a new word
When any one comes to see him on a mat
ter of business now he says: Wen, now,
lets .spute' about it," He got the WORD
from Il story Professor Proctor, the ciVii
service commissioner told him of an Old
negro down in Kentucky who was very
powerful in theological controversy. ana
was looked up to by the colored people OF
that section as the ablest exponent OF lhe
scriptures white or black, they had ever
known. The OLD gentleman had worsted all
debaterS and like Alexander. sighed FOX ne"
worlds to conquer. Professor Proctor, with
a party Of friends, happened 20 visit the
plantation upon which he lived, and while
they were Situlng on the piazza one morn
ing the great controversaliSt appeared with
a pair of horrl-fa famed spectacles on his nose
and At big Bible under his arm Shutting
up to the steps he took off mis- hat, made d
low bow, and in most disntied and re-
spectfuI manner, said:
Good mawning gooG mawning. 1 done
come up ter see ii any of you all white gen
nermens ud like to 'Spute erbout Ger holy
scriptures dis mawninS."
The president was very much amused b.
the story and has chung to the word, which
he now freely at cabinet meetings
and in social as well as official CONVEX
stations.

have been striving To convince the peo-
pie that the democratic party is wrong
and Mr.. Cleveland right These little
fellows would say that black was white
if they thought it would please Mr..
Cleveland. But The Constitution be-
lieves that the highest duty a party jour
nal owes 10 the public is To judge all
party men by the party gauge and
measure
We have seen the statement mention
ed 10y our correspondent. We do not
know whether il is true or not, but we
sincerely hope it is true. for il is one of
the measures of financial relief which
the party gave the people to understand
it would adopt. Should Mr.. Cleveland
declare himself i'm favor of the repeal
of this unconstitutional tax. he would
have the hcartiest and most enthusiasts
tic support of those who believe that
the Chicago platform stands for demo
cratic doctrine
He might 80 farther than this and
urge congress To restore silver TO its old
place rs the unit of value. and the sup
port he would receive from true demo
Gratis would be as enthusiastic as ne
could desire.
So far as state banks are concerned.
we are of the opinion that they should
be surrounded by no embarrassing CON
ditionS or treasury entangiements. They
should be precisely what they stand
for. banks regulated by the state. and
their notes based ON the assets of the
bank itself and on the credit and char
acter of the men who invest their cap
ital. There is no more reason why the
government should farm out its credit
10 individuals who 60 into the banking
business than To individuals who go into
the factory or the grocery business. on
the other hand. the government has no
right To say Ia individuals or firms that
they shall pay a prohibitive fax if they
undertake To issue their bills of credit.

The Lightning of the Ewes.

Mario Procco, the famous artist. who
is now in prison in Rome, charged with
murder, is too dangerous Il man to be
at large, if the Italian papers are to be
believed.
As the story goes. and there is col
umn and Il quarter of il in Il Roman
newspaper. the artist killed Anna de
Luigi. the daughter of Il noble and
wealthy family, by merely looking ut
her
The prisoner. while painting Annals
portrait, was captivated by her beauty
and fell in love with her The lady pre-
tended to return his affection, but turned
out 10 he an uumitigatcd coquette.
Procco became suspicious and one day
found his SWecthcIrj bathing in the surf

and powerful gaze. lie threw his whole
strength into that glance, and ut the
same time he willcd that the woman
should he drowned. In i few seconds
She fell over into the water and expired.
This is Il most astonishing narrative,
but Procco himself admits that Il is true.
And now The Roman authorities are
wondering how they shall punish this
monster. Possibly his deadly glance will
dispose of judge. jury ana cXccutiOncr.
Evidently he is not Il man to he trifl"d

A Delicate Subject.

The New York World thinks THAI the
pOpulSt con"rcSSman-picct, Howard. of
Alabama, INDUCES in prep0StcrOuS talk
when he says that MIR. Cleveland has
made SI.OO0.OO0 out of m0nOpolieS be-
tween the end of his first presidential
term and the beginning of his present
term but il cannot forbcar this com
mcnt:
still, tho personal affiliations OF a preSi-
dent and the associations and ambitions of
an eX-prasident who mas not done with
public life ought to be scrupulously guard
ed. 1t is dangerous for such = parsonage
to have Benedicts about him. The atmos-
phere of tips and speculation, of corn
ers' and combinations for making money
rapidly is not wholesome for plain demo-
cratic servant and oracle Of the people.
On the other hand, The cincinnati
Tribune's Washington correspondent
saws that people closely connected with
Wall street estimate the presidents
wealth at SG,000.OO0. The correspondent
SAYS:
1t is known that he has been singularly
successful in real estate since he came here.
his little transaction at Red TOP alone
netting him $1ia.O0e The bulk of the rest
of his wealth is supposed to have come
from successful speculation in Wall street
He has not specialized in his own name
SO far as is known. but, according To re-
ports has permitted his friends 10 do 50
for him.
This may or may not account Tor certain
of his friends knowing of Cleveland's in
tenton To issue another $5o.0Oo,0o0 of bonds
before the secretary of me treasury was
aware Of it, 1t is not limited that President
Cleveland has made an improper use OF ms
position. 1t is simply thought that ne mas
taken 81 its tide the flood which leads 10
fortune Whatever the truth of the mat
ter this much is regarded everywhere as
certain: No other man ever entered pubic
life so poor as did Grover Cleveland ana
acquired a fortune of such great proper
tions as is now said to be owned by nun
in 50 short time.
We prefer To believe that MI tleNe-
land'S wealth has been very much eN-
aygcratcd. 1t is not pleasant 10 see the
newspapers filled with surmises and IN
situations in regard 10 the SpeclilatohS
of Inc highest official of the republic.
Very likely Ill this talk will die out Ill
short time. but we fully agree with Inc
