burden of Iawless on our own shoulders, sooner or later. The situation, too, is very strained and there Is no telling what need there will be at any moment. So the thing now is to be ready as well as willing.
 Governor Jones emphatically takes the part of Jefferson county in the issue the newspapers of other towns are making against us. In proportion to population, he says, she has as many troops as any county, and they are a splendid body of men, who have been practically on duty for three montbs. The honor and peace and dignity of the State are at issue, and the whole State is just as much interested as this county.
 Asked when the troops would go, he said in day or two the camps will be re- moved to Ensley City, on the old Camp Forney grounds. The troops will be kept there indefinitely. He is not going to have the State further disgraced by an outbreak if he can prevent.
 There is no getting around the fact that the feeling is very bitter, with no sign as yet of abating, and an attack on negro miners would very likely follow speedily on opportunity. good many ot the best men among the miners seem to have des- paired of a general restoration of the law and order spirit and are leaving the ranks of the strikers. If that impulse should spread the danger would soon be over. In the meanwhile the prospects of safety seems rather remote, and the citi- zeus of Birmingham and the county gen. erally should equip themselves to enforce law and order.

 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his fealty to the principles of our party, and lndorse his administration of the federal govern ment. While some of us may differ from him in matters of policy, we are agreed ID the belief that he is actuated by motives or highest patriotism and by an unseltish de- votion to the highest good of the whole people.

AN INHERENT DIFFERENCE.

There Is general comment on the marked difference between the business men ot Chicago and St. Louis, in connection with the strike. Whilst in the former apparent apathy and indifference have prevailed, the business men of St. Louis at once came together and had ringing protest against. and disap- proval of, the Debs revolution prepared and published, and to which was appended the name of nearly every business firm and con- pany in that city. It condemns the strike in unstinted terms, and imparted at once a healthy tone to the community: The result was that many of the strikers soon returned 10 their posts of duty, and trains soon began to run in and out of St. Louis with accustomed regularity. While but little was heard from the local authorities at Chicago. except com promise and arbitration, at St. Louis the more conserv ative and consistent course was pur- sued of arresting the strikers. As a result, while anarchy and disorder ran riot at Chi cago, law and order prevailed at St. Louis. r Wall Street Journal.
 The difference between Chicago and St. Louis in the recent outbreak is inherent in the distinction between a metropolis and the provinces. The metropolis is the storm center and faces utterly different condi- tions. .-J ----
 The business men of Chicago are just as vigorous for law and order as others. But they have large affairs of finance and com nerce. They pay their taxes aud employ certain officials to look after the law and order, and leave that to them. We have an illustration of how that is on smaller scale here in Alabama, where Birmingham is the metropolis. We pay here in Jeffer- son county one- sixth of the State taxes and our Sheriff is the best paid official in all Alabama. Having thus done their share in employing and sustaining an official corps, whose duty it is to protect property and the peace and enforce law, our busi- ness men went on with their affairs of bus mess. Birmingham is a Chicago on a smaller scale. When, however, our citi- zens found that the paid official class needed the help of volunteer citizenship they rose almost as one man to the occasion. They were little slow in finding it out, but they are enrolled, ready and willing now, and the officials have but to give the sign or speak the word.

 CUSHING, July 17.-In justice to myself and to the class, renters, to which be- long, take this method of setting myself right before the public. 1 voted for and worked for Captain Kolb in 1892, and did all in my power for hls election, and have been a faithful member of the alliance.

Colos and Pete Allen would be divided between us renters. l am confident that the leaders of tue Kolb party influenced aud made many of our me mbers to believe that such would be done. All of which am opposed to. True am renter, but l want no man s land in such foul way, and as l have always been a democrat l now sever my relations with the Kolb faction and ask for my former place iu the old reliable dem. ocratic party of our fathers, and advise all my misled brothers to do likewise. There are many other dark things might reveal, but I believe this is sufficient. Respect fully. JAKE WILLBANKs.

THE man who threw the bomb that killed several policemen iu the Haymarket tragedy in Chicago was never found. and vet four or five men were hung for the deed. The Judgo held that those engaged in a conspiracy, and who by speaking and writing melted others to deeds of violence, were equally guilty. This seems harsh law, and yet it's justice has been recognized in all civilized countries in all ages. The principle is well Illustrated in the fable of the Trumpeter who was captured by the enemy and condemned to death. ''What, you will not hang man who never bore arms in his life?'' exclaimed the Trump eLer. "Yes, you must die," replied the General, .'for. while you did not fire shot yourself, you melted others to do it by the martial notes of your trumpet.'

WINNING WITHOUT PLAYING
Savannah Got Gle Game From Macon
and Will Get Another To-day.

The Maconites Fail to Show Up and
the Umpire Declares the Game For
feited to Savannah-Nobody Seems
to Want the Tailenders Bad Enough
to Put Up s7oo-Ted Sullivan in
Trouble.
Macon did not arrive yesterday and
there was no game, but Savannah got one
more victory in the percentage column.
Manager McCloskey had his team out in
uniform, and after pitching nine balls
over the plate, the game was given to Sa-
vannah by Umpire Mclaughlin by a score
of to 0. President Nicklin wired
McCloskey that the games so forfeited
would count in Savannah standing.
There will be no game in Savannah to-
day. McCloskey will again have the
team out in uniform, however, and the
game will be given it by the umpire, as
was done yesterday. The management
cordially invites everybody to come out
and see Tom Ramsey pitch nine balls
over the plate.
1t seems now that unless some one
comes forward and offers to pay the 500
back salary of the players, that the
Macon team will go to pieces. Presid ent
Nicklin wired Manager Hill that he
would guarantee all expenses and
salaries on the Savannah trip
and in the meantime he would
endeavor to have some city take the club
and finish the season with it. Manager
Hill wired President Nicklin asking if he
would guarantee.the 800 back salary due
the team, but Nicklin replied that he
would not. This is the reason the team
did not come to Savannah.
Following right upon the dropping out
of Macon comes the report that Teddy
Sullivan and his team of colts from At
lanta have suddenly disappeared. Sulli-
van left Atlanta Wednesday morning for
Charleston with the intention of stopping
at Spartanburg TO play game with the
team in that city. But Sullivan never
showed up, and now an officer from that
town has gone on to Charleston after
Teddy with bill for SIS forfeit money
