Musr NOT STAND.

The action of the State Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee yesterday, in nullifying the action of the Ninth Congressional Dis trict Executive Committee, and placing represe ntation in the several counties of this district on an equitable basis, was en- tirely proper. It places at rest all differences of opinion among democrats, and fur nishes fair adjustment of the differences which existed, and which so seriously threatened party harmony. full report of the proceedings of the committee are published in our columns this morning. The State committee finds that while the Congressional com mittee erred, it is guilty of no intentional wrong. Chairman Bailey's explanations were en- tirely satisfactory, and furnish evidence of his true Democracy and devotion to the party's best interests. his is the day for the primaries. Let all Democrats go to the polls, declare their choice, and resolve to abide by whatever may be the verdict of the party. Tbis is DO time for Democrats to divide, or to become disgruntled; but the necessity is upon us for a strong pull pull together.

MINERVA, the goddess of wisdom, never married She couldn't find man good enough for her, nor god either. She was a woman of the Sarah Grand type. Being the goddess of wisdom her example may be pernicious, for the modern woman may be encouraged to do likewise. But Minerva was also called the goddess of war. She was newy. This explains why she never mar ried. What man so bold as to marry the goddess of war? True, some men marry women who are very warlike, but then their belicose spirit does not crop out ntil after marriage. A woman who is warlike opsn and above board will never get hus- band.

LEGAL IGNORANCE TO THE FEE
 SYSTEM

Alderman Mcknight, who is among the most ardent advocates of the free school system, calls the attention of the AGE HERALD to the fact that the Board of Edu- cation n transcended the bounds of it's author iiy in placing the fee system on children entering the primary grades of our public schools, and quotes the following section of the State law creating the Board of Edu- cation:
 ''That the Board of Education shall have power to charge in the high schools such incidental or other fees as may be deemed necessary for the proper conduct of said high school, but no fee or charge of any description must be made in any of the schools of lower grade than the high school.'
 This seems to settle the matter so far as the fee system is concerned, and the next thipg in order is for the Beard of Education

WILLIAM H. DENsoN DEFENDED.

To the Age-Herald: IA
 We notice in your issue of today special correspondence from Ashville, Ala, stat ing "it Is plain to all observers that the dubious policy of Col. William H. Denson has made exceedingly doubtful his chan ces for renomination by the democrats" /" etc. and that ''the opposition to Coicnei Dens son favors the nomination of Col. John w Inzsr,' etc., etc. We desire to stats in the outset that we were not pleased with Colonel Denson's dubious policy in our last state campaign, but still we believe Colonel Denson is democrat and as good a democrat as Col. John W. 1nzer. It IS not necessary to particularize to prove our assertion or grounds of belief. We don't believe the conservative element of the democratic party in this (the Seventh) con- gressional district is quite ready to commit political suicide. With all due respect to Col. J. W. Inzer or any other aspirant in the Seventh Congressional district for Den- sons place, we don't believe Colonel Inzer or any other man in the district can win the fight outside of Denson. Ut IS plain to all observers,' the political com pexion of this district, and if we expect to win Denson IS the only feasible or avail able candidate in the district. Then why should we throw Denson overheard to place upon Che altar a sacrifice, and send to congress populite from this district? Mir. Cleveland has said there is such thing as political expediency, and judging from some of his appointments he believes in practicing what he breaches. If there was ever 8 time to put into practice political ex- pediency that time is now in the Seventh Congressional district. Some members of our democratic party are inclined to be too proscri ptive. Prescription will do very we'll when there is a sufficient number to take the medicine, but we are short in
 numbers in this district ana are in the mi nority. Hence it behooves us to be eau tious if we would win. We fully believe that Colonel Denson will do more in the coming election to bury Kolbism. and solidify the broken off branches of our party than any other man in the district could do. He has the confidence of the people. "The common masses of the com mon people,' whether they be democrats, popuiites or Kolbites, they are for Denson, The politicians of this district may defeat Denson for the nomination, but in so do- ing they will meet defeat at the polls in November, is my judgment. So l warn you, my fellow democrats, to consider well before you act.

IN spite of the condemnation of "The Heavenly Twins'' by the pulpit and pa rents the young people continue 10 read it.. A girl in her teens, with soul as pure as her white dress, will unblushing admit to having read the book. The only conclu- sion is that she doesn't comprehend it's naetiness. There are things hinted at in the book that only medical men and adults of intelligence fully understand. To say that the book is trashy is an injustice. It is not a light, trashy novel. Sarah Grand never writes such novel. It goes into the very core of social life and discloses it's se- crets. It displays much learning, much Knowledge of human nature and familiar ity with things no young woman is sup posed to know. And it deals with ques- ton that is one of the burning questions of the day7-a question that the good people oi certain Congressional district in ken- lucky are now trying to solve. It Is the question of single standard in morals for man and woman.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF
 HILL.

The opinion seems to be rapidly gaining ground that President Cleveland will sign the tariff bill, with all his objections to 1t. The bill reached him at noon on the 10th instant, and the ten days limit will not ex- pire until today week. The President will see the great necessity for his early signature in the fact that should the bill be permitted to remain unsigned for yet another week all the spirits now In bond could be withdrawn by the payment of only 90 cents per gallon tax, and the Treasury would be deprived of the 20 cents per gallon increase fixed by the new bill. Thus his withholding hIs signature would play most beautifully into the hands of the "Whisky Trust.'
 Strong petitions are going into the hands of the President from all sections of the country, urging him to veto the bill. These petitions come from the more radical tariff reformers, and will not be needed, Hior it means further delay, and the country \pnot bear this. Showers of advice are Mailing upon him, urging him to slgn u. These come from business men,

THE Evening News declines the proposi- ton of the AGE HERALD as whole in re- gard to circulation, but comes back with a modif fled proposal, ruling out one-haH the points at issue. Our proposition as made stands open, and we are anxious for the case to proceed to trial. Meantime busi- ness men who desire to have their adver- tisements read by the men, women and chil- dren of Birmingham, Jefferson county, on the railroad trains and in every city, town and trading point in Central and North Ala bama should call at this office, investigate for themselves and be convinced that the AGE HERALD is the proper medium through which to reach the public. If they cannot be convinced of this fact no charge will be made for advertising.
 Meantime it may be noted that the News acknowledges an increase of the circulation of the AGE HERALD, or a decrease of it's own, by the fact that it boasts now at the head of it's column "2-times the local cir- culation," whereas ten days ago it claimed '3-times the local circulation" of any other paper.
