u HUNG CHANG,

Ii Hung Chang has proved faithful to his King in spite of all the indignities heaped upon him. The Chinese reverence their ruler as a ssson of Heaven, :" and it is not to the Emperor personally that Iii does reverence, but to his high position. At one time Lii Hung Chang had an oppor- tunity to head rebellion and place him. self on the throne, but he refused it. h 1880 the land was ripe for revolution, and if Lii had followed the advice of Gordon and accepted his assistance there is but little doubt that be would have been successful. It was great temptation, but he put it be- hind him. The commanding abilities of this Bismarck of China have brought aprn his head the envy of many enemies and ii

IN MEMORIAM.


 "she leaves behind her, freed from grief and
 fears, Far worthier. things than tears-the love of
 friends.'
 Died, at Citronelle, Ala, October Il, 1894, Mrs. Imogene Derrick. When those pass away who are recognized as noble- hearted and whole-souled, the community is moved by sorrow deep and real. So the announcement of the death of Mrs. Derrick was a sad shock to her many friends in Greensboro.
 "Death at times steps in and calls our two weeks ago to visit her daughter, Mrs. c. A. Little of Citronelle, thinking the change of climate would prove beneficial to her, but the dread reaper, who will gather us all, took from earth beloved and devoted wife and mother. Her re- mains were brought from Citronelle. Her funeral took place at St. PauPs Episcopal church at Il o'clock Saturday morning, and her body was buried in the Greensboro cemetery.
 As a mother and wife her life was beyond praise. The pure white flowers that adorned her casket were not purer than her life.
 To the bereaved family the loss of such a mother, wife and sister, who was model of devotion, is wholly irreparable, and the warmth and fidelity of her attach ments in- spired confidence and regard in large circle, who sincerely lament her death. Rest thou. pure spirit. spirit whose work is ohi blessed, is it for us, not thee. we grieve. Greensboro, Oct. 19. M.

 My headquarters are in Birmingham; my home 'son the road.' My business carries me into nearly every town and ham, let in the Ninth Congressional district, be- sides several other counties in western Alabama. find the merchants, farmers and laboring men aroused and alive to the importance of democratic success in Mo- vember. They cannot stand Aldrch and hiss white-nigger' radical party, as they call it, with it's record ofhigh tax robbery and demonetization of sfiver; and I confi- dently predict Underwood's election by splendid majority. In this connection want to give the AGE- HERALD credit for the great work it is doing in behalf of pure democracy and it's candidate. 1 find it everywhere, and it's exposition of the true doctrines of our party and it's exposure of the rottenness of the republican party are so strong and convincing that it is stirring up lukewarm democrats, and leading many Jeffersonians and populites back to their proper allegiance to the party. Less and less is heard of "organized'' and "Jeffersoniano democrats every day, but more and more of democrats without frills and furbelows. The AGE-HERALD may, we'll congratulate itself on it's services tol the party, and when the fight is over claim credit for a considerable part of Under wood s majority.
 Business is picking up rapidly. Men out of work are growing fewer and fewer every day, and there is more contentment and hope among the people than has been for long time. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.

LET THEMHAvE THE WHOLE TRUTH,
 MIR. ALDRICH.

MT. T. H. Aldrich, the Republican can didate for Congress, made speech at Frs wells Hall on last Wednesday night. As the utterances of one seeking the support of the people for office his remarks became the subject of legitimate newspaper criti- cism.
 Among other things he said: ssI have been accused of favoring the re- enactment of the Mckinley bill; if the Mckinley bill means prosperity to Birmingham, am in favor of forty Mckinley bills'-or Bill McKinleys, which is about the same thing. Mark you, he did not say that he was not in favor of the re-enactment of that bill, but there he was with that inevitable and everlasting '.IF" of his party. Don't MT. Aldrich know what every 10-year- old youngster in the Birmingham public schools knows, that during the life of the Mckinley law Birmin gham suffered the se- verest ordeal in its history excepting, pos- sibly, the period of the actual ravages of the cholera and financial panic of 1873; the latter, 1t is not amiss to say, being the di- rect result of Republican legislation. If he does not know this he is entirely too fresh to represent this district in Congress. He cannot successfully deny that during the era of high protection's most undisturbed and perfect work there were more suspensions of operations among the industrial establishments and enterprises, more serious strikes and labor disturb ances, greater reductions of the wages of working men and more want, suffering and destitution with them and their fami- lies than at any other time in the history of Industrial developments in this district, \nd It is equally certain that these evils

CHE DoETH ALL THINGS WELL. 'i

(Belle R. Harrison, in Boston Transcript.) Why need your heart repine and fret
 If cares beset, And say your life is sad and drear?
 Be patient, dear, "He doeth all things weil.'' Why trouble if the path is steep,
 And sadly weep When thorns and briers strew the way?
 Be brave and say, stHe doeth all things well.' If slander's arrows wound thy heart
 With poisoned dart, The sting may scar, but do not fear,
 Remember, dear, "He doeth al things we'll - 4e If sorrows wings of dusky hue
 Sweep over you, And drive away the light of day,
 Though stricken, say, ''He doeth all things well.'' The trials that your soul oppress,
 And sore distress, Are sent as blessings in disguise
 By One all wise, Who "doeth all things weil.'' For He who suffered on the tree
 For you and me Will stren gthen you in hour of need,
 O, fragile reed! ssHe doeth ali things well.'' Be patient, dear, loving arm
 Doth shield from harm. He leads you on it's paths aright
 To endless lightl ssHe doeth all things well.'

A STRAIGHT TALK TO JEFFERSONIAN
 DEMOCRATS.

A STRAIGHT TALK TO JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRATS.
 Are you not as good and patriotic citi- zens as any in the land? Do you not as much desire the individual prosperity of your people and the welfare of your coun- try?
 You have and do steadfestly contend that you support Democratic doctrines ana maintain Democratic principles. In tLe Presidentiai election of 1892 you refused to be led to the support of the enemies of De- mocracy; on the contrary, thousands of you voted the Democratic ticket and re- joiced at the restoration of the government to the control of that party. It is now claimed by the Republicans that you will abandon the Democratic party and give your adhesion and support to the Republi- can party. This Is not credible. It cannot be believed that lifelong Democrats and patriotic men will give aid and comfort to the party and principles they have been fighting for thirty years. Why should they?
 Has that party changed in leadership, following or principlerf Not at all. The Republican party in the South is now as 1t has always been. Has 1t ever done any, thing in the State or Nation that has bene- fited the farmers, wage- earners and labor ing men? Recall It's history when 1t had control of our State, county and city gov- ernments. Reflect, if you please, upon it's record in Alabama from 1868 to 1874, and say if you are willing in ars way to aid It to power again.
 In nation el anairs it's record is no better. Consider it's works. The fifteenth amend ment to the constitution; it's reconstruc- tion measures; county and municipal offices in the hande-ef negroes; cornfield negroes Ds to Congress; officials legally elected by your aid busted from office at the point of the bayonet; ruinous taxation; your State and county treasuries plundered; a State ldebt of $30 GOO ,000, county and city debts without limit, and nothing to show for hem; the demonetization of silver in 1873; whole financial policy for thirty years, which the contracted debts of the gov- pent, which the people are taxed to were doubled, and the ability of the to pay them correspondingly de- a-all for the benefit of the bond- and wealth owners of the country; tic grapts of government lands, rty of the people, to railroads and ms, without money and without ariff policy, by which the people natically robbed by intolerable pe government deprived of it's Ievenues, and the national dered-all for the benefit of and special pets of can party-the trusts, monopolis.

meath it, remains to be seen. Ii Hung Chang has always been an advocate of peace, because be was wise enough to See that war between China and more ad- vanced nation would be a battle between whale and sword fish. The victories of Japan have demonstrated that he was wise. Li has struggled against the ignorance and superstition of his people to make China modern nation. All that has been accom- plished in the way of navy, improved arms, railroads, telegraph, etc., has been through his persistent efforts. He suc- ceeded in getting a railroad built tapping the coal and iron mines of Pe- che lee. This railroad developed that section of the Elm pire at once. Two extensive steel plants with blast furnaces in connection were erected at Hankow. He is ever proud of referring to the fact that the learning of Chaldea was transported from China 5000 years ago. He believes in developing China's natural resources with native cap ital. His policy toward the foreigner is to learn all he can from him, but not give him q part in the government. He favors the missionary as factor in progress.
