YOU ARE TOO PREVIOUS, GRANDMA.

YOU ARE TOO PREVIOUS, GRANDMA. To the Age Herald:
 The following from the aged manufaS- turers of governors has slight tendency to political humor
 sfThe News hopes to sec Governor Oates succeed Senator Pugh. And it hopes to see Hon. R. H, Clarke elected to succeed Governor Oates and then to succeed Senator Morgan. The News believes MT. Clarke worthy of any honor the people can be- stow. "-Ciarke County News.
 s'A candidacy for the govern orship is an entirely new possibility for the forceful member from the First district. But he is equal to almost anything, and if he should enter the gubernatorial lists there is no doubt that he would make things lively. The News proposition is not bad one by any means. MT. Clarke may not have any such idea in his head, but the party might take hold of him bodily, as it did Colonel Oates, and we'll nigh force him to become candidate. Stranger things have bap- pened. .n-Montgomery Daily Advertiser.
 The rank and file In this neck of the woods recognize that the Montgomery daily Advertiser can come as near fixing up slate two years in advance as any ma chine operator in the state. But suppose Hon. Richard Clarke should prefer the so- ciety of the Washington people to that of the smaller capital city of Montgomery and get the senatorial bee in his bonnet, what evidence has our aged maternal grand parent got that the Hon. w. 0. Oates will have mortgage on MT. Pugh's placer Dick Clarke is no mans political nonen- tity. He knows his strength, and the peo- pie of this state come near believing that he will make an excellent successor to MT. Pugh. RIBBON.

THE POLITICAL PARTIES.

The State elections SO far held show plainly that Democratic States are all the more Democratic, and Republican States all the more Republican. No doubt but that the present condition of affairs makes a Democrat more of a Democrat and Re- publican more of Republican. The Dem- ocrat sees in the new tariff law the har- binger of brighter future, wider trade, renewed activity, equal rights, equal op-
 portunities. He sees career of prosperity
 opening to the United States never equaled since the Walker tari if of 1646. He has great faith in the ability of every citizen to stand alone, without the supporting arm of the government. He is strong, self-reli. ant, brave. He is an optimist.
 On the other hand the Republican is pessimist. He looks on the dark side of things. He is afraid he can't stand alone. He looks to the government for protection,
 He takes counsel of his fears. He con- lures up dreadful shapes from the vasty deep. He is scared by the ghosts of sec- tioual animosity and tariff reform resur-
 rected by Reed and Mckinley. No wonder he is scared into being Republican.
 Granting that party lines will be only the more closely drawn, the Democrats have nothing to fear. The country is largely Democratic, and all that we could desire Is that it remain so. It is not probable that Democrats will desert their party in any considerable numbers in any State. Their detection to the ranks of Populisn does not seem probable. Nor does it seem any moro probable that the Republicans will desert their party and go into tho Populist camp, | The Republican leaders have badly scared | them by painting the future terrors that | will follow in the wake of the Democratic | tariff law. Fears of the future are much
 more depressing than the burdens of the present. The Republican leaders display a l fine Knowledge of human nature in paint ing the future instead of the present.
 From present lights we cannot reason-
 ably fear any radical political changes.

TARIFFS USES.

Speaker Crisp in his Atlanta speech held up to view the benefits of the Demo cratic tariff law, in that 1t strikes at trusts and monopolies; reduces the cost of the ueces- saries of life; opens our markets at home and enlarges our markets abroad 1; promotes agriculture, encourages manu. featuring and adds to the comfort of mil. lions of our fellow citizens. The New York Sun takes the Speaker to task because he did not say, and could not consistently say. that 1t was bill for revenue only, and calls attention to the Democratic plat. form, which declares as fundamental principle of the Democracy that the gov ernment has no constitutional right to levy a tariff save for revenuesonly. The Sun is exceedingly bunptious and hard to please. Of course the tariff bill is revenue meas. ure. That feature was kept in view at all times. Every duty levied was for the pur- pose of revenue, and not for protection. There is not and never will be any such thing as absolute free trade in this country. The government must be supported and it takes $500, 900, 900 a year to do it. This necessitates a tax to some ex- tent. It is the settled policy of the govern ment to raise this revenue by tariff on imports, and not by direct tax. The revenue feature was kept constantly in view by the Democratic leaders. The President in his letter to MT. Wilson con- ceded that sugar should be taxed for the purpose of revenue. He said: "Sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue taxation" In his letter to Mir. Catchiugs the President again shows that he has the revenue feature in mind by his reference to ''S7O0, ,O00 of unnecessary revenue" Har- per's Weekly makes free to say: "The law has made certain the replenishment of the Treasury, and removed all risk of a further increase in the permanent national debt.'

SIXTH CT-INTERESTING CUES.
 TIONS ARISE.


 Chairman Tompkins some days since is- sued a call for a meeting of the State Exec. utive Committee, to be held on the 18th instant, for the purpose of organi zing the Congressional campaign. We suppose tho committee will at this meeting also hear and determine any appeal from the Hon. T. L. Long in the Sixth District, though Mir. Long has not yet filed any notice of appeal or served the other parties with any notice of the grounds of such appeal.
 It will be remembered that the conven- tion of the Sixth District, after balloting for more than four days, and without any change in the result, determined to refer the question of selecting candidate back to the Democrats of the district in pri- mary to be held, and then adjourned sine die. Mir. Long is understood to protest against this action mainly on two grounds, the first being that the convention pre- scribed that only trhite Democrats should participate, and the second that the couven. tion had no power to take this action. It is quite possible that the State committee may have jurisdiction to insure the right of every Democrat to participate in the selection of candidates of the party. It is, however, unfortunate that this question should be pressed at time when harmony Is 80 es- sential to success. The Jeffersonian lead- CTS for long time have been endeavoring to attitudinize as the special champions of white supremacy, and any decision on this question will be iercely assailed by them. Believing as we do in the doctrine of local self government, we are inclined to think that the Democrats of the Sixth District understand the wishes of their own people and should be left to decide for themselves. The other question, the right of the con- vention to refer the selection of a candi- date to the Democratic voters of the district, is the principal point under discussion. The weight of argument is favorable to the proposition. The delegates were elected by and derived their sole power and authority from these voters; finding they could not agree they surrendered their trust to tue men who had confided it to them. What else could they have done-~crowded out the minority candidates, cast lots for nom- inee, ratified some forced bargain between the contestants, ordered new convention |, or left 1t to the direct uncontrolled vote of the Democrats of the district? Would not any other action have given substantial cause for just complaint
 One of the complaints most frequently heard of late years against the Democratic pariy in Alabama is that it has been domi-

SOMEWHAT SINGULAR.

Mir. Aldrich's Ninth District Republican party is cut to order. Its platform Is for high protection and free silver. The tariH idea is consistent with Republican doc- trine; the currency idea is incompats5ie with the doctrines of the s. r-p. MT. Aldrich is successful business man, and although rew>in in office seeking is already demoHstrating some of the accumen of 2 politician. Free silver, or the idea of more money for all hands, is catchy talk in these days of unequal distribution of dollars, and his silver plank may entrap the thought less voter, who has not studied the policy of the Republican party on the currency question. MT. Aldrich would be as weak and helpless in Republican Congress, handicapped with this silver idea, as he would be in 8 Democratic House with his tariff instructions; and no one knows thie fact better than does Mir. Aldrich.
 The aspirant for conglomerate honors from the Ninth District knows that Senator Jones of Nevada was driven out of the ranks of tue Republican party by force of his extremely selfish Western silver views, and that he could find no congenial com- pany except with the Populists. MT. AL drich says he wants to go as a Republican Congressman.
 It may be possible that the g. o. p. is go- ing to flop, as matter of political expe- diency, and that Mir. Aldrich desires to lead the movement in his political infancy Bs an indication of this it may be stated that sound like this comes from the Northwest. Senator DuBois of Idaho is quoted as saying that the Republican party of 1896 will come out for free silver-that is, the free and unlimited coinage of the white metal at ratio of 16 to 1. Senator Jones does not seem to believe this, or he never would have cut loose the ties that bound him, and shedding crockadile tears partaken himself to the fold of Pop pulism.

THE mule knows when it is time to take out, the cows know when to come home,
 the cock knows when to crow, but man must carry a time piece to tell him the hour. Or, if he is not able to carry a watch, he can look at the clock in the tall tower of public buildings. The Heav'
 enly Father has implanted an instinct in animals that tells them the time. Our earthly father, the government, must keep tho time for it's children.

nese in China. Such law would involve us h war every few months. We would
 be forced to fight the world. All that the United States could consistently do has been done. The American minister guar anteed the Japanese h China that he would intercede in a friendly way and prevent any barbarities so far ss possible. This he did in the case of the two Japanese arrested as spies, who bad taken refuge in the American legation. Our minister turned them over to the Chinese authorities, but exacted the promise that they would not be tortured. This was granted, and while the spies were executed they were not tor tured after the Chinese custom. This friendly intercession on the part of the American minister was perfectly proper and in obedience to the laws of nations and the dictates of humanity. But it would have been folly on his part to have refused
 to give up the spies and thus involve the
 United States in war with China. Then again, the American residents in Nica-
 ragua seem to expect too much of the United States. They took part h the re-
 belIion and were made prisoners by the enemy. Now they appeal to the United States for help. Of course this could not l be granted without violating treaty rights and international law. Americans who
 forsake their country and become citizens of another country must become obedient to the laws and customs of that country.
