A WISE sUGGEsTIoN.


 To the Ago. Herald:
 have letter from well-known artist of New York, one who was for several years teacher in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, leaving it to establish the Art and Artisan on Twenty third street, in which after close observation of the many south- ern students there, he writes me the fol. lowing:
 ''The south is full of feeling, sentiment and imagination, and some of our best poets, writers and artists must come from there. She has great future if she uses her valuable gifts noblyl Her chance is coming a or has @ come ps today; Do all you can
 With these grand prophetic words ring ing in my ears I write in behalf of the Bir- mingham Art league to see if cannot arouse the prominent people of Birming- ham to the importance of lending helping hand to this noble school of art, whose members, believing in the talent that lies dominant in the south, are working with whose heart and soul are in thelr work, to make this school a success and pride to the whole lsouthland.
 Some months ago, when the fire at Lake, view reduced to ashes the female college there, many merchants and prominent men generously pledged themselves to con- tribute money if the faculty would let the college remain in Birmingham, but they thought best to carry 1t to Anniston. Now, 1t seems to me, if these same gentlemen would do the same for the Birmingham Art league, 1t would be better advertisement for our city than the erection of any college In It's borders, for there are hundreds of students from Virginia to Texas who go north every year to stuSs. art; and could

ABSOLUTELY PURE


 Birmingham advertise and show that she had school equally as good as any in New York, have not shadow of doubt that the tide of art travel would be toward our city, and hundreds of dollars which go north for tuition and board would be spent here. My expenses for year's course in New York were between $500 and $500. Artistically, as well ~pecuniarily, would Birmingham be benefited, for out of this noble school would go forth an art atmos- phere, which will be felt in the beautify- ing of our homes, even though it be the humblest, and preparing sons and daugh- ters to go forth and do noble work in the world. What we wish is for Birmingham to see the necessity of such school and come to it's assistance.
 It would be grander monument to leave to coming generations than ever could be reared in granite or stone, and it remains with the good people whether this school, equal to any in New York, will have to struggle on without assistance or sympathy from it's people. F. V. 0.

FOR MODERN COOKING,

As matter of useful information it may be stated that whenever a cooking receipt calls for a baking powder the Royal" should be used. The receipt will be found to work better and snrer, and the bread 1, biscuit, rolls, cakes, dumplings, crusts, buildings, crullers, or whatever made. will be produced sweeter, lighter, finer fa- vored, more dainty, palatable and whole some. Besides, the ''Royap' will go fur ther or has greater leavening power, and is therefore mere economical than any other powder.
 Many receipts as published still call for cream of tartar and soda, the old fashioned way of raising. Modern cooking and ex- pert cooks do not sanction this old way. In all such receipts the Royal Baking Pow der should be substituted without fail.
 The greatest adopts in the culinary art are particular to use the Royal only, and the authors of the most popular cook books and the teachers of the successful cooking schools, with whom the best results are imperative, are careful to impress their readers and pupils with the importance of its exclusive employment.
 The Royal Baking Powder is the greatest help of modern times to perfect cooking, and every receipt requiring quick raising ingredient should embOdy it..

one-half times more money than there is in use in the whole world. This was to bring 6 them into ridicule and contempt and make them the laughing stock of the world.
 Mr. Aldrich, no doubt, has this book in his possession, and knows the facts above stated. When he next addresses Popu- lite audience l1e should explain these things.
 The quotations given above will be found in the Republican Campaign Text book, 1894, pages 25S and 259, and MT. Aldrich will not deny it.

MCKINLEY and his followers often refer to the forefathers as protectionists. Some of them were to @ limited extent. They realized that this country was undeveloped and that the infant industries needed some protection. But at the same time they were protectionists for revenue-they knew that the government must have a certain revenue to pay expenses and the best way to raise 1t was by tax on imports. In contrast to them Mckinley goes further. His bill levied such a high duty on many articles that 1t was virtually prohibitory. The result was decrease in the revenues of the government. And this decrease of revenue was the avowed purpose of the bill. Thus the government was robbed for the benefit of g few pampered manufactur- CTS. Never before Mckinley was such a principle put into practice, .-sss

MT. R. L.

Because of their close friendship with the President South ern Representatives have had many valu- able favors shown their constituents. MT.

1.-THE Louisiana sugar planters sold out to the Republican party for cents a pound; this is the cheapest price l ever heard a man selling for, ," said MT. Clarke. "The Mckinley bill placed duty of 75 cents ton on iron ore and the Demo- cratic law duty of 40 cents. The differ enceis 35 cents a ton, and some iron men have sold out at that price.' How much is that a pound? On the basis of 2000 pounds to the ton and 200 pounds to the man, we have tenth of a ton of flesh for 35 cents, or ne-fiIth of 8 mill per pound. The planters sold out for 2 cents a pound, the iron men for one- fifth of a mill per pound. The planters hold them- selves high.

"THE furnaces near Chicago are more formidable rivals of the Birmingham fur naces than foreign furnaces. ''-Congress- man Clarke. These Northwestern fur naces have already thrown down the gage of battle to the Birmingham district and have combined to run our iron out of the Chicago market, even going so far as to sell below a profit, but they have not suc- ceeded in their purpose. Birmingham iron is sold in Chicago at profit, after paying freight of more than B a ton. The foundrymen have discovered that they must have the soft Southern iron for mixing with the harder Northern product.

 The Republicans hope and expect to re. ducs the Democratic majority in this dis trict, especially Jefferson county, and, if possible, elect their protection candidate, Truman H.. Aldrich, on account of the seeming lethargy in our party. It would be a political crime to permit this.
 The Republican party is the mother of all the laws that have oppressed the people for the last twenty five years. It is re- |sponsible for the fifteenth amendment to |the constitution; for all reconstruction measures, election laws, Force bill and civil nights bill agitations; for all high pro- bctive tariffs and the Sherman silver law, hich brought on the industrial prostra- n and financial panic of the recent past, every candid and honest man must ad- that the causes producing hard times

THE Mckinley law was a fruit less one. Under it's provisions thers was tariff levied on fruit i'm ported to the United States. The export line of steamers carrying coal to Cuba did not find it profitable to bring back cargo of fruit, because of the high duty. Hence, the coal had to pay the freight both ways. The Democratic law admits fruit free of duty. The coal steamers can return with cargo of fruit, and hence find it more profitable to carry coal.

REPUBLICAN OPINION OF THE POP
 ULIST PARTY.


 ULIST PARTY.
 The Republican candidate, Mir. Aldrich. |. and his advocates, as is we'll known, are industriously seeking the support of the Populites or third party people. We have charged, and it has not been and can not be successfully denied that they want to use them as cat's- paws for no other than elec- tion purposes. We had hoped that Mir. Aldrich would deny and call for proof of the charge. He has failed to do so, and the legitimate inference is that he and his Republican friends fear the exposure. That they may no longer be in doubt as to the estimation in which they are held by the Republic party, of which MT. AL drich is the candidate and leader in this district, we present below an extract taken from the Republican Campaign Text Book of 1894, which will give them official and entirely reliable information on that point. Introducing the subject this Republican Campaign Text Book sneeringly says: ''So far as it has coherence this new party is composed of Farmers' Alliancemen, Knights of Labor and otker bodies, sup- posed to be organized to promote the in- terests of the industrial classes, in opposi- tion to the capitalists and employing classes, with the dissatisfied elements of all classes.''
 The above was evidently written for, and intended to arouse, the capitalists and em- ploying classes, the corporations, com- pines, trusts and monopolists agaipstfne Populists.
 This same Republjcaa--ca Campaign Text Book says fuEthseeo On page 259:
 IS ke Objections which present themselves is party and it's demands are:
 That, being based on an assumption of Verty and Restitution of the masses, it \pger of becoming an organized attack ghts of private property, and must archy or communism. No one should party who is not prepared to follow pr the other of these extremes. being an attempt to organize one zens against another class, labor capitalists, it must lead to more conflicts, aggravate all the evils lock-outs and strikes, and tends pot to peace.
 ag based on charges of un iver- and fraud, it tends to break |nce of man in man, and be- eruption it charges in it's own as others. Evil grows in ks.

The Sale.

Senator German may fuine, spout and
beat his breast, talk about his sacred
rights and whine about the accusations of
perfidy and dishonor that come from the
White House as much as he will, but
everybody knows that it is last effort to
carry out disgracefu1 and disreputable
bargain, nothing more or nothing less.
He knows, as all the people know, that
he and his associates have attempted to
betray the party and to betray the trust
reposed in them by the people; that they
are endeavoring to usurp the constitution
al prerogatives of the House of Repre-
sentatives and take an illegal advantage
of their position to sell law, and that
they are now simply hanging ON to per-
feet that sale so that they may get the
price which was promised then.-Read-
ing Herald (Dem)
The above is a fair specimen of the
public opinion of what is going on
amongst our public men at Washington.

ticed by German throughout his entire
political career are coming to light in
these last days of the corrupt regime of
the old parties.

headquarters in the Pullman building.
Judge Grosscrup was appointed by
Harrison at the special request of Pull
man. Stick pin here.
Henry B. Reed, the friend of Cleveland
and Sugar Trust magnate, is one of the
directors of the Pullman corporation.
The Social Labor Party leaders are not
wise. They neglect the Immediately
attainable, and reach after the remote,
obscure, at present unattainable, and at
best problamatical.
Pullman is a Republican and his enl-
p1oyes wanted to give him lick and
voted for Cleveland. There is an old
adage of preparing stick to break your
own head. You will never hurt the cor
porations, trusts and money power by
voting for either of the old parties. They
would as willingly have you vote for one
as the other they own both.

and clothing as no other country in the
world is, and millions of our people are

How to Grow Cucumbers Successfully

The main vines must be pinched at the
ends to keep them within bounds and to
encourage the outgrowth of side branches,
which are the most prolific for fruit. The
main branches bear chiefly male or
staminate flowers, which are barren of
fruit, and the side branches bear the
pistillate or productive flowers, so that
the great secret in growing this crop, as
well as all kinds of cucumbers, melons
and squashes, consists in this shortening
of the main vine and the encouragement
of the latera1s.
Cucumber vines require much moisture
to keep them thrifty and all successful
growers have means for all artificial
supply. There is considerable territory
in this neighborhood which could be
watered from irrigating bitches, and
growing pickles might be made a profit
able business. The buildings are here
also where the picking business could be
done.
