OVER THE STATE.

We are in favor of state immigratio u bureau in the west. What about it?-La- Fayette Sun.
 MT. Van Hoose, for all we know, may be leading great reform movement, but we have grave suspicion of a thing endorsed by Bowman, Mossley 6 Co. We had always rather they would be on the other side.- tain Eagle.
 We are heartily in favor of the legisla- ture helping in the efforts of the state to be represented at the Atlanta exposition. We must have creditable exhibit there. It would be burning shame If we were to fail in this.-La Fayette Sun.
 The people should not forget that We have mayor's election next Monday. and before voting they should consider all things and then vote for the men who are cnpa ole of best taking care of the clty's in- terest.-Tuskaloosa Gazette.
 The Evening News, the Birmingham Times, Bob Moseley and the colored con- tingent of Birmingham have consolidated, as It were, upon 'citlZens' reform ticket" for that city in opposition to the regular democratic ticket. Queer combina- tion thatl-Fort Payne Journal.
 We don't know how it is at other places, but here in Walker county things are very brig ht and encouraging. The many mines in the county are running on full time and getting out an immense amount of coal, for which the operators find a ready sale;
  Jas per is on a regular building boom, which gives all our merchants and other workmen employment. Taken altogether thefuture looks bright for this section.- Mou n tain Eagle.
 Reuben F. Kolb for the last four years has been running for governor, thereby drawing from his deluded followers a princeIy living. This is a nice and easy oc- cupation for this gentleman, but when he attempts to carry out the threats set forth in his manifesto he will find it more se- rious business. He has succeeded in draw ing quite number of his followers into the republican party, but he will fnd very small squad who is willing to try to seat him as governor. .-Marion County News.
 It is a great pity that those 250O voters in Randolph county that the Toiler speaks of so pathetically have not got the 6.30 to pay railroad fare to see the elect governor of Aiaba inaugurated. 1t would be worth something to those 26O0 (?) men to go to Montgomery to see what an lmpostor Kolb is. He knows he will not be ina ugu- rated governor December ], and those men who go there intending to witness it will be made wiser if not richer. The editor of the roiler by all means should go.-Roan- oke Leader.
 We are indeed sorry to see the democrats of Birmiug gham engaging in bitter and vi- tuperating fight over the election of a
 
 and the scars that will be left when the fight is over will be there for life, and we can see nothing good for the democratic party in such fights. While the reformers, we doubt not, are earnestly and honestly trying to right what they consider wrong, yet we think it would have been better for all if they had fought it out inside of the party, and not rebelled against the nomi- nee, Mir. Warnock. .-Eutaw Whig.
 Of all the bills that have been presented in this assembly house bill No. 2lS is one of the most sensible, as well as most needed. This bill was introduced last Thursday by MT. Beeson of Etowah and provides for the establishment of a uniform series of text books for the public schools in Esowah county. The absence of some such law as this has not only occasioned great am ount of useless expenditure on the part of the parents, but also frequently re- tards the progress of the holar to no small extent. Wa sincerely hope that the bill will not only pass, but that 1t will be made general and apply to all parts of the state, piece of legislation that we have long needed, and we are only surprised that it has not been made law long ago.-De- mopolis Express.
 1 old Fountain has been troubled so much with office itch that his mind is also ready for arson, treason or murder if he can thereby get to be justice of the peace or coroner. The poor fellow has offered him. self for the legislature time and again, but could ever carry his own beat. A right good thing is told on him in regard to his desire now to acquire military and fighting greatness. Since August the Kolbitss in that part of Perry county decided that they must organize and drill, preparing for the course that Kolb is now advising, and they met, and after talking the matter over in an old field, the father of this Fountain suggested that they would organize com pany by electing Bill Fountain, his son and this same fellow. captain, whereupou ayoung son spoke up and said, "Pappy, if we 'um got to fight, we have got to elect somebody captain that will fight, for you know Bill ran away from the last war, and it won't do to elect him.
