 MAuGA BATTLEFIELD.

MAUGA BATTLEFIELD.
 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 25.-The work of locating the Confederate lines of 1863 on Lookout mountain, Missionary ridge and Chickamauga is now progressing nicely. Many of the commissioners ap-. pointed by the governors of the several southern states that had troops in these battles are now in the city assisting the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military park commissioners in the work. The Louisiana commission arrived this evening. Generals Boynton, Smith, Full lerton and Stuart, the park commissioners, expect to have all lines and positions 10. cated within the next month.

THE Republican press seek to make capi- tai out of Mir. Clevsland's letter of July 2, 1894, to MT. Wilson. in which he charged that the passage of the Senate tariff bill would mean party perfidy and dishonor. The same sheets are careful not to quote the statement in his letter of August P to MT. Catchings, that the Senate bill "pre- sents vast improvement to existing con- ditions." However that may be, the peo- pie are more interested in knowing that by a Democratic tariff law they will be re- lieved every year of hundreds of millions of unjust taxation imposed by iniquitous Republican legislation than they are in knowing what MT. Cleveland's opinion was on July 2 or August 27 of the instru- ment through which relief is brought.

MIR. T. H. ALDRIcH is Republican. the candidate of Republicans and proposes to be elected as Republican. He is con- mitted to the high protective policy of his party, which has brought untold suffering to the people of the country, and to it's practices of reckless extravagance and prof. ligate waste of their money in the treas. ury, which has bankrupted the National government. If he were elected he would be powerless to aid in any legislation or measures for the benefit of the people, for his party and it's principles are forever against their interest and welfare. and it's record shows it to have been the friend, patron and accomplice of their enemies the trusts, combines and monopolies. Let every voter in the Ninth Congressional District consider these facts and then vote against Adrich.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE OPERA
 1OITGN


 The last three attractions booked at the opera house were not up to standards which I regret exceedingly. It gives me great pleasure to state now that those to follow, this week and next, will make up for Ethe shortcoming of the three mem tioned. The mere mention of the fact that Charles Froh man is the manager and pro- prietor of "The Girl Left Behind MeP is guarantee sufficient that tLe performance will be A 1. .n+
 sfThe Colonel" an excellent musical comedy from the German, by that prince of comedians, Oscar Sissons, will also merit the best patronage of the amusement public of Birmingham. To follow we will have the charming comedienne, Nellie Mc- Henry, who charmed all who were for- tunate enough to attend her great per- formance of "A Night at the Circus.u 'Tis not necessary to say anything of the eminent tragedian, Thomas Keene, to lovers of pure classic effort. His great personation of Richelieu and Louis XI will never be forgotten by those whQ have wit messed his performance. Mir. Hoyt comes to us this season with IA Black Sheep,p which dramatic critics throughout the country declare is far superior to ''A Trip to Chinatown'' or anything ever p7o- duced by MT. Hoyt.

A JUBILEE CELEBRATION.

Fifty years is long time-much more than the average lifetime. Men, there- fore, naturally note such periods. Just dence, K. 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 1t has been the family medicine chest in coun tless homes in every country on the globe. Once given a 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 patent medicine, these fifty years prove very plainly that if Pain. Killer had not been all that 1t 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 goods' 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 1ot

TWIN CHILDREN OF REPUBLICAN1SM
 Millionaires and paupersl

The population of the United States, by the census of 1890, approximated 63, 900, 900 souls, including white persons in the h. dian Territory, Indians on reservations, and Alaska. As to the private and indi. vidual wealth of the country at that time there are no official statistics, but it is es- timated to have been about the enormous sum of sixty billion tS60, ,000, ,o00, ,000) dol- lars. There are no means of ascertaining with reasonable accuracy the proportionate distribution per capita of this wealth, but from the most reliable data the conclusion Is drawn that more than one-half of this National wealth, real and personal, was owned by only 25.OO0 persons. The same data furnish the names of seventy individ. uals in the United States whose aggregate wealth was g, 700, ,000 ,000, averaging over sSS, ,5O0, ,000 each, while in fact some few of them possessed more than S1O0, 1000, ,000 of property apiece.
 Fifty years ago $500, ,O00 was considered an immense fortune, and in 1860 there were perhaps not dozen millionaires in Amer ica, and paupers and tramps were few and far between.
 Only since the Republican party has con- trolled the government has the rapid null tipiieation of millionaires been possible. For more than thirty years it's policy and legislation has been producing colossal fortunes, concentrating the wealth of the country in trusts, combines and monopo- lies and, at the same time, manufacturing paupers, beggars and tramps with ever increasing certainty and rapidity.
 In 1892 the people, by an overwhelming majority, demanded change of National policy and administration, wrested the government from the Republican party and placed it in the hands of their friends the Democratic party-and propose to keep it there at least until the wrongs and in- justice of three decades have been re- dressed. In less than two years of Demo- cratic administration much good work has been done, notwithstanding the bitter op- position of the Republican party; and the people will accept this as pledge ol greater accomplishments in their behalf.

REPUBLICANS FATHER THE A. P. A,


 FATHER THE A. P. A.
 IL has leaked out at last. The Republi- can party is the birthplace, tie house, the hotbed of that secret, oath bound political order known as the American Protective Association-an association inimical to American institutions, to fair dealing, to justice, to frankness. The very fact that it is secret, that it works in the dark, is enough to prove that its aims and msth- ods are foreign to free country from a political standpoint. It has just been dis covered that when the Republican State convention met in Saratoga, N. r., last week oue A. G. Van Schaick, chairman of the State Committee of the American Pro- tective Association, went to the leaders privately and said: "I am here on behalf of my association to see that no naEe is placed on the ticket that in any way repre- sents, either individually or by family con- nections, the Catholic faith. We do not wish to bring religious controversies into the campaign, but at the same time have stated to the lead- CTS that in case any such candidate is pre-. sented it will cost the party 200, 900 votes at the next election." This shows the ani- mus of the Republican party-it attempts to deprive citizens of the rights guaranteed them by both the State and Federal con- stitutions. Down with such attempts to throttle free speech, free political action and free religious conviction!
 The American Protective Association is also engaged In pernicious activity in Wis consin, and the Republican party in that State is already beginning to feel the dis astrous effects of an alliance with it.

MIR. MURAT HALsTEAD In Sundays New York Herald has something to say about the meaning of the Ohio Democratic piat- form on the subject of silver. The plat form declares for free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. Mir. Halstead concluded his ar- ticle by saying: "The deeper meaning of it is that New York's influence over the National Democracy has been broken, and it is proposed to unite the West and South on the free coinage of silver, and thus meet the Populists half way" This most sapient conclusion is based on the supposi- ton that the South is in favor of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, re- gardless of international agreement, safe- guards of legislation, maintenance of the public credit, sound and stable currency, or any other consideration. Such is not the case. Every Southern State that has held it's Democratic convention this year has re- affirmed it's allegiance to the financial plank of the Chicago platform of 1892. Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Georgia have 80 declafed. Geofgfa wob- bled little and got one foot of the National platform, but she's all right. Not only has the Southern Democracy de- clared for sound money, but so has the Democracy of California and Indiana. It does not seem that the Democracy of the South, nor of the West, is drifting very fast into the Populistic doctrine of free and unlimited silver. The Democrats of Idaho and Ohio are the only ones who have broken ranks. It seems that it is the Rs- publicans and Populists of the South and West that favor free coinage of silver at 16 to regardless of consequences.

thoroughly imbued with this Republican virus, and if be went to Congress would favor legislation in favor of the rich as against the poor.
 On the other hand, the Democrats have legislated in favor of the masses as against the classes. They have repealed the Mo- Kinley law, which reduced the wages of the workingman, but added to the wealth of the manufacturer. They have enacted a law giving the State, county and city the power to tax greenbacks, notes of National banks and gold and silver certificates pay able on demand. This will amount to $500, ,000, 900 of taxable values. Under Re- publican rule the rich used this loophole as an escape from taxation. They turned their holdings into one of these forms and tbus cheated the State out of it's dues. A man with $1O0, 900 in greenbacks, for in- stance, could deposit it in bank in Q neighboring State until after the taxes had been assessed and thus escape bearing his share of the just burdens of government. But there will be no more of this. The tax on incomes is a "tax on prosperity" just what the Republicans of New York de- nounce. But if prosperous people are to be relieved from supporting the govern ment, who must do it? The poor and op- pressed? Just so. That's precisely what the Republicans demand. They declare themselves in favor of making the poor pay the taxes and letting the rich escape. Down with such monstrous doctrine.
