WHAT WE PROPOSE TO DO.

three and four millions Of idle men
in this country to-day, saying moth
ing Of the other millions who are
partially employed, or Of the
women who are. dependent upon
their own exertions RAd who are
unable to live decently or re-
specially because Of the conditions
everywhere prevailing. In COnse.
quence Of this enforced idleness Srti-
sans Of every grade; mechanics of all
trades, and common laborers with no
special trade at all; honest, induatri-
ous citizens, hitherto good and USE
full members Of their respective COM
munities have been forced to become
tramps, exposed to the rebuffs of
society, the indignities Of the police
and the brutalities Of the vagrant
laws enacted under our modern civil
lization.
Organized labor, revolving against
the unjust and tyrannical exaCtions
Of organized greed, has been SUBJ
dued and compelled by the unwar-
ranted interpositiOn Of federal courts,
state militia and United States
troops to submit to such terms as
soulless corporations choose to I'M
pose. The private property of the
wealthy classes is guarded by state
and federal troops at the expense Of
the public, while these same classes
violate the laws Of the country with
absolute impunity.
In the face Of all these abuses and
usurpations, we have frequently
asked republican and democratic
lead ers and editors what their re
spective parties propose TO do to put
the idle men at work, to remove the
abuses to which labor is now every
where exposed, to make it possible
for producers to sell their products
above cost of production, and to re-
establish Justice throughout the
land. In answer to these questions,
che press and politicians simply open
their slush. pots of personal abuse
and vilifcation, and seek to divert
the attention of the people by the
stink they hope to raise. Not a soli-
tary paper or political speaker ever
attempts q fair discussion Of any of
the questions relating to the future
welfare Of the masses Of the people
They are as silent as the tomb con-
Cerning what they propose to do to
change existing conditions for the
better so as to give all men and
women fair opportunities in life; and
there is q very good reason for il.
They simply do not propose to do
anything. They have created the
Conditi Ons that exist to- day, and they
do not propose to change them. What
measure of legislStion has been pro-
posed in the present congress by
either democrat or republican look

seam.
In view of the questions we have
propounded as TO what the demo.
cratic and republican parties propose
to do to improve the conditions and
the opportunities Of the people, some
fellow asks what IOe propose to do if
we get the opportunity. Our answer
may be found in the Omaha platform,
and il may be specifically stated as
follows:
~ We propose to dethrone the
king and re-establish the republic
to overthrow tyranny and despotism
and restore liberty to the people,
~ We propose to re-declsre our
Independence of foreign crowned
heads and of foreign shylocks. Since
1878 this country has sent delegates
to several international conferences
in Europe TO beg the privilege of
coming the gold and silver taken
from our mines by American miners,
into American money for the use of
the American people. The privilege
has been denied; our mines have
been closed; our miners have been
converted into homeless trsmps; the
business of the country has been
psrslyzed for the want of q sufficient
currency; and we stand to-day in the
attitude of a simple dependency, ask
ing and beng denied the privilege
of pursuing a financial policy in the
interest Of our own citizens. More
than a hundred years ago our fore
fathers fought for and won national
independence. 1t has been sur
rendered by traitors. It must be re-
established by sons who are worthy
of their sires.
(9 We propose the initiative and
referendum as a means of wrestling
from a handful Of pirates, gamblers
and corporation attorneys the power
they now exercise without question
to determine the policy and conduct
of public affairs for purposes of
plumber, and of restoring that power
to the masses of the people where it
rightfully belongs.
(4 We propose to take from cor
porstions the privilege of coming
money and controlling its volume in
their own interest, and restore this
privilege to the people where the
constitution places it, thereby insur.
ing a volume Of currency sufficient
for the demands of our internal COM
merce, and not subject to exporta-
ton at the demand of foreign shy
locks.
% We propose that the people
shall own and operate the railroads,
telegraphs and telephones for their
own interest and benefit; and that
private corporations shall cease to
monOpolize these public functions for
purposes Of public plunder.
(6) We propose that every mon
opoly, as soon as established, shall be

A CAPITAL IN MOURNING.
Czar Alexander III Buried in the
 Fortress Cathedral.
Religious Ceremonies in the Presence of Kings and PrinCeS-The Body Placed
 in the Crypt.

While the bells tolled and the minute guns bcomed their requiem, priests chanted their sonorous Greek liturgy over the body of Car Alexander III in the "Fortress Cathedral,'' St. Petersburg. On a black covered dais, three steps above the floor of lthe nave, the coffin was placed. Candela- Sbra blazing about it did little to relieve the gloom in the great church.
 Over the catefalque was spread black 4anopy lined with ermine, supported by four great pillars. The magenta velvet towering the steps was stewn with golden eaglee, and cunningly wrought wreaths of silver glittered about the catafalque.
 The czar's body wore simple uniform. The waxy hands were crossed below sacred image of St. Alexander Newski. The new czar, Nicholas II, his mother, his affl- anced, Princess Alix of Hesse- Darmstadt, members of the imperial family and high officials of the empire advanced in turn and reverently kissed the image.
 After the chanting had died away the casket was lowered into the crypt, and the opening in the floor was closed by stone weighing COCO pounds.
 The whole city was in mourning. At intervals on the Newski Prospect forty foot pillars bore sombre urns in which incense burned

He would not listen to advice, and be is dead long before old age could have touched him.
 Bright's disease was dreadful agent of death long before it was known by that name. It was believed to be incurable, and with reason, until great remedy was put forth to com bat it. Those who suffer from the malady are sometimes reluctant to be- iieve that anything can cure them.
 There is one skeptic less every time War ner's Safe Cure has a chance to show what 1t can do. The assertion that this medicine can and does repair the raVa ges of advanced kidney disease is made without any 'ifs'' and "buts.o Nature gives you fair warn ing when your kidneys are below par. Do did.
 Consent to be sick and you will soon be well if you use Warner's Safe Cure. The warmest words of praise for this remedy come from physicians whose hostility to proprietary medicines in general is noto- rious.
 They know how Warner's Safe Cure acts % upon the urinary organs, so that relief is immediate and cure certain. They have felt its power in their own persons.
 departure from perfect health without positive symptoms of organic disease is often erroneousiy attributed to cold or overwork, when in fact the kidneys are affected. Then is the time to take Warner's Safe Cure, for although it conquers the worst cases, of course 1t makes much shorter work of the trouble if no time is lost.

HORSE GREEK RIOTERS
To Be Tried in Jasper in Special Ses- sion-A Nice Law Point to
 Be Discussed.

Judge J. J. Banks went over to Jasper yesterday morning to hold a special term of the Walker county circuit court. Some time ago he ordered a special term of the court to convene in Jasper yesterday for the purpose of trying the Horse Creek rioters.
 Solicitor Charles W. Ferguson went to Jasper yesterday to represent the state in the rioters cases.
 Detective Barnes Morgan, who was in- strnmeutal in capturing several of the de- fendauts, also went to Jasper and will re- main through the trials. He is witness against several of the defendants.
 Solicitor Ferguson stated to an AGE- HERALD reporter yesterday before leaving Birmingham that the juries for the special term were not drawn legally and that he would move to quash the venires. The law requires, said he, that two venires of not less than thirty nor more than thirty -six names each must be selected, one for each week. The two venres drawn consist of only twenty four names each. He said the jury commissioners had not compiled with that law, and he would consequently move to quash both vepires.

---------------------- FROM HIS OLD HOME.

s'FoIBLES OF FANCY AND RHYMES OF THE
 TiMES.''
 The Cherokee Sentinel, published at Gen. ter, Ala. the former home of Dr. o. J. Dozier, has the following clever notice of the doctor's late literary work and compli- mentary allusion to the author himself. The AGE HERALD reproduces it with pleasures
 "A new star has risen in the literary hori- zon of the country. From the Dispatch Printing company's press at Bir- minghan there has recently been s- sued a very attractive volume of poems under the title, Pebbles of Fancy and Rhymes of the Times,' by Orion T. Dozer, M. D. We have read the work with the charmed interest it's striking merit invokes. The AGE- HERALD com- pares pr. DoEier to the late Df. Holmes, but we are proud to claim this poet-physi, southland. Engaged with bis profession, in which he stands as a lofty peak in mountain range, Dr. Dozier indulges his poetic genius merely as an incident of his ambition. He has that rarest of gifts, the lyric power; he Is the poet born, and thls, in a day when most of our metrical literature is the produc- ton of poets who are made, is distinc- ton. His poems mean something, say something; they have their roots deep in life and show their author to be possessed of gifted, tender and beautiful spirit. His personal character, not less than his talents as a poet and physician, has en- deared him to a wide circle of friends. He once resided in this county and found time in busy life to contribute an occasional gem to the local press, which received rec ognition by the press of the entire country.
 ''Df. Dozier's friendship is not of the quality that changes with time and cir Ci, n, eka Gnma of hia DOAnna which evince the strength of his attachment for bis whilom home and friends in Cherokee, ought to be read by every resident of the county.p

Death of Miss Eva Ais brook.

Intelligence of the death OF this
highly esteemed young woman came
to her parents and to Us all with the
shock of a stunning blow She had
been absent for some weeks, visiting
relatives. first in Richmond and then
in APEX. and was expected home IN a
few DAYS. But on Tuesday night OF
last week came the startling message
that she had died that morning. 1t
has transpired that she had been sick
with fever, but tidings of this fact had
not reached her parents.
Owing to some ones error the body
did not reach home until Friday morn
ing. 1t was conveyed from the depot
to the Episcopal cemetery, followed by
q large concourse of friends, and the
burial services were conducted by her
pastor.
The unexpected tidings OF her death
the distressing delay in the arrival OF
the remains, the fact that she was az
only daughter, and above all her OWL
| admirable character, rendered the occa
sion pathetic and grlevous beyone
words. For those who knew her little
need be said about her life.
Naturally amiable, intelligent, ener
getic,. gentle, and modest, she easily
won all who knew her. This town ha
seldom been stirred by more profoun'
and universal sympathy and sorroV
than her death awakened.
In the spring of 1889, in the opening
of young womanhood, and after lon
and painful Struggle she consecrate
her life to the service Of her Master
and united with the Baptist church q
this place. Her change was decide
and her surrender complete. Her chris
tan life has been one not only OF raj
beauty. but also OF faithful and effe'
| tive service. IN the Sunday-School e
which she was a teacher) in the Won
ans Mission Society, and In gener'
church work, you could rely on ht
sympathy and support, and her pla(

But the heaviest shadow rests upc
: her home. The pet of father, moth'
and brothers, her death leaves vo
r that none can fill. The blow was teri
