Grover Cleveland Emits some Financial
Ideas.

WAsHIsGToS. ID. C.. June 2G.-The
president. in speaking of the financial
situation today said to an Associated
Press representative:
The offer of certain New York banks
to replace from their vaults this gold
withdrawn from the government treas
ury for shipment abroad is thoughtful
and patriotic. Ii not only tends to
maintain the treasury gold reserve in
good condition. but il adds to the stock
Of popular conditions, which is at all
times important.
The elements which make up our
actual situation dc not justify any ap
prehension; and the administration still
adheres TO Its pledge and determination
TO protect our national credit at all haz.
yards. and to keep the quality OF our
money equal to the best, 30 far as the
limits OF executive power permit.
"Of course croaking and spreading OF
disquieting tales is calculated to iniure
the stringent financial condition. ] as
sumo. however, that there is too much
patriotism among our people. and too
much familiarity with our resources and
capabilities to permit our reserve force
and financial vigor TO be discredited'
When the last government bonds we're
issued to replenish our stock OF gold IT
was nearly as low as now, while outside
of our gold we had as an available money
to pay ordinar! expenses OF the govern
ment only about sl9.OO0,OOO. We have
now, besides our gold and money appli-
cable to government expenses more than
so3OOOOOO. / understand il is charged
in certain quarters that the payment OF
matured obligations is postponed to the
amount of s50.OOO.0O0 or $4,000 600.
This is not true We are paying as we
60, in the usual way. Last year up to
June the balance against US arising from
the exports and imports OF merchandise
including gold and silver, was esA ,oo2O4o
| The balance in our favor for the SAINT
period this year was S62 $50 ,J62, repre-
senting a change in our favor Of sl5,
5l?,6Os. These conditions. taken int
consideration with the willingness OF ou
banks to help the treasury during an!
temporary and unusual drain Of gold
ought to satisfy the most conservative
our safety.
1T must not be forgotten as anothe
favorable feature of the situation tina
we no longer purchase silver or issu
gold obligations therefor"

FuRL THE BLACK FLAG.

As long ago as Sunday, July 15, in com menting on the refusal of the railroads to accept the Debs proposition for settle. ment of the strike, the AGE HERALD, in an editorial on the situation, said:
 In getting new men to take the places of the boycotters they were obeying the law requir- ing them to transmit mails, passengers and freight, and protecting the public from the horrors of food famine and loss of their pro- ducts. The men who took the places of the boycotters came to the rescue of the public. They will not be discharged to make places for men whom their own leader shows to have been intlicting untold damage on the country, Public sentiment would not tolerate their dis, charge. At the same time public opinion will demand that the railroads do not raise the black flag against men led out by false lead CTS and now willing to return to work. That would be as reprehensible as the other. The roads may very properly require that they withdraw from the American Railway Union, but they should not be boycotted. One boy colt is as bad another.
 We are more impressed with the truth fitness and justice of that view of the situ- ation as the days go by. We can imagine nothing more cruelty and criminally un- just than for railroad to discharge man who took the place of a striker in it's hour of need, unless the man proves to be in
 
 competent and earns dismissal on his merits.
 On the other hand, to raise the black flag against the men who went out is con- trary to all the dictates of common human ity. Railroads cannot, because they are corporations with headquarters in distant cities, ignore the currents of human sym pathy in communities along their lines. The responsible leaders of the late strike are and should be rejected by all roads, and required, if possible, to seek other places where they can do less harm than here. But the men, the rank and file, were mis- led, are sorry for their error, in need of work, have been faithful employees always except once, and are entitled to considera- tion. The sympathies of their fellow citi- zens are with them and there is sound and praiseworthy human call that the black flag against them be furled.

HE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of Alabama, in conven tion ssembied, reafiirm the principles of the1efscei attic party as declared in the platform of four party at Chicago in 1892, and congratulate the country upon the suc- cess of those principles in the triumphant election of Grover Cleveland, who, by his generous treatment of our people, has shown that he is the president of the whole country, knowing no north, no south, no east, no west.
 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his featy to the principles of our party, and indorse his administration of the federal govern ment. While some of us may differ from him in matters of policy, we are agreed in the belief that he is actuated by motives of highest patriotism and by an unseish de- voticn to the highest good of the whole people. While there are differences of opinion among us in matters of detail, we all believe in the free coinage of silver whenever it can be done consistently with the maintenance of sound and safe cur rency.
 We earnestly urge upon our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks.
 We heartily commend and indorse the present administration of the state govern- ment, headed by Governor Thomas G. Jones, who has so wisely and courageously
 
 mend his impartial and fearless execution of the laws.
 We pledge to the people of Alabamaa continuance of the good government of our state affairs inaugurated by the election of George 5. Houston in 1874.
 The election law enacted at the last ses- sion of our general assembly is in accord ance with the principles upon which are based the laws regulating eiectiopsin a large majority of the states of this uuion, without regard to party, and intended to obtain at the ballot box full and free ex- pression of the popular will. We believe In giving it fair trial, and should it fail to accomplish the end which it was intended to effect, we pledge ourselves to make such changes and alterations therein as may be necessary to effect that end.
 We pledge our party to the mainterapce Of system of free public schools and ~to increase the appropriations for that puNr pose whenever the financial condition of the state will permit.
 The party is pledged to continue it's ef- forts 10 remove all the evils of the present convict system, and to enact all appro- priate legislation to prevent it's working injustice to any class of our people.
 We extend cordial invitation 10 all voters of Alabama, who believe in the principles of democracy and are in favor of the maintenance of good government, 10 unite with us in the election of the ticket nominated by this convention.

THE INSTIGATORS,

Commenting on the situation in Birming- ham as respects incendiary speeches aud publications, the Washington Post says:
 Be that as it may, it seems evident that Governor Jones has made up his mind not only to put down violence and anarchy with an iron hand but to impart much needed les- son to the advocates and instigators thereof. What is more, the temper of the Alaban a people appears to harmonize with his. We infer that the South Is not yet ready for the kind of social and political reform which Berkmann and Schwab have been preaching, and which Altgeld and Debs have endeavored to promote. The world may be all awry, as certain long-haired gentlemen are fond of proclaiming in the back part Of cheap beer saloons. but the Southern people are appar- ently incapable of seeing matters in that light. They do not propose to have emissaries and organizers invade their territory and set up the propaganda of agitation. They pro- pose, on the contrary, to perpetuate their in stitutions and to supplement that policy by disciplinng those who preach against them. Perhaps they think it more economical and more efficacious to deai with the leaders than with ilefr following.
 It seems to us that our Alabama friends have chosen the wiser part. If we arrest the bearer of deadly weapons and punish him for providing the agencies of homicide. why may Wo ucb arrest anu puhlSn the apOSlieS OI wholesale destruction and calamity We do not wait for the man with the revolver to shoot his victim. As soon as it becomes known that he has the rev olver we seize and prosecute him. On what principle, then, do we incar- cerate the possible brawer and let the intend ing anarchist go free? What sense reason is there in acting against the man who threat ems single life, while we wink at the man who plots against communities and institu- tions?
 Let us hope that Governor Jones will act with vigor and precision. Perhaps if he shows how to deal with conspirators in Alabama the lesson may be applied in other States and finally in all of them.
 These are words of sober reason. The man who incites to violence is the worse criminal of the two. We do not know to what extent the Governor can reach the mouth and lip and pen incendiaries of this section, but we do know that healthy pub lie opinion can hold them down.

THOSE STATE WARRANTS

ISSUED BY MISSISSIPPI LOOK roo MUCH
 LIKE MONEY.
 WASHINGTON, July 25. Senator George of Mississippi has asked that the suit a anent the legality of the Mississippi state war rants be instituted in Mississippi instead of St. Louis, Mo. In asking this Senator George has, 1t is said, misunderstood what the government has done.
 The government has directed that suit be institut against the bank note con- pany that printed the warrants for the state of Mississippi, and not against the state, leaving the bank nole company, if the suit goes against it, its remedy of su. iIg the state Of Mississippi for damages sustained by it in carrying out it's contract with the state of Mississippi.
 In the meantime it is understood that the objectionable warrants, having a simil- itude to United States money, are to be re- tired, and warrants substituted which will not be open to this objection. Evidence is said to be in the hands of treasury officers that the warrants have passed current as money, and that in issuing them it was the purpose to have them pass from hand to hand as money.

ING OF THE WAYS.
 Elba Sentinel.
 In our last issue we alluded to the sact that Captain Kolb had come and gone. We also stated that we would discuss his cS Sns ing further in this and succeeding 'isS (es of the Sentinel. We had reasons for this, but did not want to act hastily iu the mat ter. The truth is that Captain Kolb's speech here was sore disappointment to us and many of his ardent supporters. We hoped and advised that the issues of the present canvass be discussed from patriotic and statesman like standpoint, but instead, we were served with dish of the hash of 1892, rehashed for 1894, but without piquancy or flavor.
 We had hoped for something different and our disappointment was painful, so much so that we have concluded that we have reached the parting of the ways, and that in the future we cannot act with and support the cause that Captain Kolb repre- sents in the state of Alabama-a cause that we once loved and cherished fondly. In coming to this conclusion we were not in- huenced by prejudice or passion, and we beg to assure our friends with whom we have been acting for the past four years that we yet love them and have for them all manner of good feelings, and we hope that many of them may be able to see the situation politically as we see it now.
 We have concluded that the reform movement. with Captain Kolb at it's head, will necessarily fail to bring to the relief of the people of Alabama the condition of things they so much desire. We have fur ther concluded that the consummation of their wishes can only be reached in the state of Alabama by the faithful upholding of democracy, headed by the Hon. William c. Oates. We again repeat that we have come to the parting of the ways, and we have made our choice. To our new politi. cal friends and allies we promise our hon. est and cordial support. To our late asso- ciates we have no ungenerous thoughts or words.
 We believe we have many warm friends who honestly believe the ticket headed by Captain Kolb is right, and we trust hey will accord us tho privilege which we grant them ,and not allow any manner of personal feelings to be engendered through the in- f1uence of our political difference.

COMMISSIONERS, COURT.

ONE PERJURER AND ONE FELoN BOUND
 OVER TO THE GRAND JURY.
 United States Commissioner H. A. Will son tried Ali Winters and John Roberts yesterday for burning bridges on the Geor- gia Pacific railroad. The evidence brought before Commissioner Wilson showed that Winters did not take any part in the burn- ing, but that Roberts was implicated in the affair.
 The former was discharged and the latter held under bond of $500
 w. T. Chilcoat was also brought before Commissioner Wilson yesterday upon a charge of perjury and presenting false claims to the government. The evidence that the defendant had committed the of- fense with which he was charged was suf- hcient to warrant the commissioner in binding him over in bond of $500.
