THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

There is nothing unexpected or
striking in the message which Mr..
Cleveland sent to congress yesterday.
The important paragraphs might be
printed in three quarters of column.
1t is a melancholy fact that with a
single exception every important
reference to an international affair is
an indirect confession Of failure and
humiliation. The exception is the
part devoted to the Blue6elds
incident and the policy of our gov
eminent with regard to the Nicaragua
canal, and here we have nothing
positive or enlightening. Mr.. Cleve-
land does not conceal his hope that
the present congress will be I'M
patriotic and short-sigbted enough
to abandon all that we have gained
in Samoa New York Sun.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE


President Cleveland's message was
read in congress Monday and has
been thoroughly discussed by the
press and the public ever since. His
most important recommendations
were upon the currency question.
He cannot believe that any citizens
are willing that the government
should default in its obligations or
drop to a silver basis; anyhow he
intends to leave nothing undone to
prevent such calamity. And SO long
as no provision is made to retire the
legal tenders used to withdraw the
gold, and no better authority is pro-
vided for bond issues, ''such author
as often as it becomes necessary
to maintain a sufficient gold re-
serve and in abundant time to save
the credit of our country"
Next in Importance is the presenta-
ton of new bank-note system de-
vised by Secretary Carlisle and warm
lyindorsed by the president. Its fea-
lures are outlined in the message.
The plan contenplates the condi-
tional repeal of the tax on the issues
of state banks, the basing of all ma
tional and state bank notes on the
assets of the banks and special guar
antee and security funds, instead Of
as now on government bonds, and
the displacing of the greenback and
treasury note issues to a large ex-
tent with these new bank issues.
Mr.. Cleveland believes that coal
and iron ore should be added to the
free list, and argues at length against
protection to American ship building.
He would be glad, under existing
aggravations, to see every particle
of dIfferential duties in favor of re-
fined sugar stricken out of our tariff
law" and urges with especial ear
nestness the repeal of the extra duty
on bounty-paid sugar, against which
Germany protests.
The president stands by the recon-
mendations of his ministers-Secre-
tary Herbert's call for battle ships
and torpedo boats and more mar
ines, Secretary Lamont's call for an
effective army force fully up to the
IL,
rious reforms urged in the other de-
partments. A national board OF
health is deemed necessary, and an
other Judge for each one of the pres
ent circuit courts seems to be desira-
BILE.
A warm word is spoken in behalf
of civil service reform. and the prom
Use of further extensions of the CLASH |
fed service will be welcomed by the |
friends of this great movement. Lit
tie that has not before been made |
known is said about our foreign re-
lations. 1t is noteworthy that he |
barely mentions the Hawaiian sub
ject. but gives at length reasons for |
withdrawal from engagements with
other powers in the matter of Sa- |
moa. The Nicaragua incident is
treated, and the payment of $780,
900 to Great Britain on account of |
seal claims is recommended.
The message has not been warmly |
received and presents no suggestions
looking to a revival of our industries
or the increase of the revenues Of the |
government.

When congress assembled last
Monday Representative Linton of
Michigan found on his desk a big fo-
raj schoolhouse, the gift of the A. P
A. 1t was presented in recognition
of his services to their cause at the
last congress. Mr.. Unions speech
against appropriating money for
sectarian schools has been widely
circulated and a good many copies
have reached St. Johnsbury. He pre-
sented some strong arguments and
his speech deserves a careful reading.
The first bill introduced into the
house after congress opened was one
to abolish the income tax. The
press dispatch says that the bill will
pass the committee. Few of the
readers of the CALIFORNIAN will have
to pay this tax in any event, but let
US hope the bill to abolish it will pass,
for the income tax is inquisitorial
and entirely foreign to the American
form of government.

NOTES FROM THE STUDIO.

USUR KOLB.

Judging from Kob's pronunciamento to be proposes to play the part of William Tell and rid the country of the tyrant, Oates. The metropolitan papers consider the mat ter in a serious light and devote whole col umns to Kolb and his fiery utterances. The Pi,tsburg Dispatch has this heading over Kolb's manifesto: "Captain Kolb's threat has greatly alarmed Governor elect Oates, and both sides are arming. Pros- poets are bright for lively scrap"
 There are about dozen papers in the State that supported Kolo in the last cam paign, and without exception, so far as we have seen they counsel against any attempt at violence. They still assert that Kolb was honestly elected, but they say that an ap- peal to arms will bring about revolution. md they are not prepared for that bold step. The New York Press, radical Re- publican paper, counsels moderation, as follows:
 There is much provocation for the course taken by Reuben F. Kolb of Alabama, Repub- lican and Populist candidate for Governor. in threatening to assume that office on December l. kolb was doubtless defrauded out of A majority, and with free vote and fair count he would uIquestionaby hold a certificate of election. The Democratic candidate William C. Oates. having been declared elected, how ever, by the authority lawfully intrusted with the declaration of the result. it would be the part of wisdom and discretion for MT. Kolb to atqulesce.
 Violence will not be needed to bring the South to n sense of the wrong against which Mir. KoIb so energeticaliy protests. There are signs ill several Southern States that honest public sentiment is gradually gaining the strength requisite to put an end to dishonest elections. The right is certain to triumph in Alabama as elsewhere. and that triumph would probably be retarded nste Id of hastened by any resort to force.

A CARRIER CAUGHT.

MACON, Ca. Nov. 24.-Asher A. Bivins, superintendent of carriers in the Macon postoffice, was arrested today on warrant sworn out by Inspectors Bull and Baird charging him with embezzement of letters from the mails. The inspector caught Bivins in the act and also with a decoy let ter containing three marked S1 bills in his possession. Bivins confessed when taken before the United States commissioner and was placed under 5000 bonds. Bivin's method of operation was to open letters supposed to contain money and after ab- stracting the money, reseal the letter and forward it to it's destination. Irregulari- ties have been reported in Macon postoffice for several years, and Postmaster Price de- termined to find out who was responsible. He sent for the inspectors, who, after one weeks investigation fastened the crime on Bivins, who is republican and was ap- pointed under a republican postmaster four years ago.

 Limestone county has added to her pop ulation a man who it is safe to predict will prove the forerunner of a large mum Der of people from the far northwest.
 The following is from the Limestone Democrat:
 We had pleasant call this week from Mir. Barber, sturdy farmer from Cass county, North Dakota, who, with his family, has come to make Limestone county his future homs. He was induced to come south by the literature (advertis- ing) sent to the northwest by Com missioner Lane. The Democrat gladly welcomes MT. Barber to our midst, for we believe he will prove a valuable acquisition. We found him to be most pleasant gentleman, conVersationallY.

TIMELY TALK. .

Whether the condition of political affairs in Birmingham suggested the correspond- ence between Hon. E. D. Willett and Hon. H. c. Tompkins, Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, or not, the ringing letter of Colonel Tompkins which is published in this issue comes at most seasonable hour for the consideration of number of our towns people, who, un- til since the overwhelming defeat of the Democratic party on November 6, stood always loyal to the party, never fl nching, always courageous, always hopeful, but who now seem blind to their obligations to the organization.
 In the beginning of this municipal cam- paign the AGE HERALD sounded note of warning to recalcitrant Democrats. It saw danger ahead-danger not only to the party here, but 10 the party in the Ninth Con- gressional District, and to the party throughout the State. It fully understood the temper of these people; that there were deep-seated prejudices existing with some; that disappointment at party defeat was causing forgetfulness of obligations to party, and that a spirit of vindictveness was about to supercede the better judg- ment of men in our midst. Hence the notes of warning. But the contest and bitter opposition to the regular city Dem. ocratic organization was precipitated, and at this hour we find ourselves in the midst of local contest which is most deplor- able; and if the arbitrary movement on the part of those who are forsaking the party organization proves successful, ties that bound the Democrats of Jefferson county together will be broken, and the party here will be lost for years.
 The letter of Colonel Tompkins reviews the history and present status of Democ- racy, and furnishes many sound and ogi- cal reasons why the Democrats of Birming- ham, and of every county, city, town and beat in Alabama, should remain solidly united and steadfast to the principles of that great party which redeemed the State, md to which we all owe faithful allegiance. Read the letter.

TUsKEGEE ITEMS.

TUsKEaEE, Nov. 24.-[Special Corre- spondence. lowing to the death of Judge Holt county court, which was in session this week, adjourned Wednesday.
 The case against T. J. Abernathy, charged with getting money under false pretenses, came up, but the jury acquitted him. He borrowed money from several wards arrested in Montgomery. He stated to the parties that he had bought several plantations near there and that his office was in the Moses building in Montgomery To MT. Cloud, from whom he borrowed BIO, he said that he wanted to employ him to superintend the places at salary of $1500 a year. When he was put on the stand he stated that he was subject at times to fits of melaucholia and had no recollection what ever of going to Cliett's station or what trauspired there. He was put through a rigid cross examination, but passed through without a scratch. He is re- been tried here.
 The colored people will have a fair at Parks old school ground next week. It will open Tuesday and continue five days.

JOHN sIGLER JAILED
DEPUTY

FOR ALLEGED MURDER OF A DEPUTY
 UNITED STATES MARSHAL
 John Sigler was brought to Birmingham on the delayed Alabama Great Southern train Friday night by United States Deputy Marshal z. T. Lawrence on warrants charging him with illicit distilling and conspiracy. Sigler is from Cleburne county, and it is alleged was implicated in the as- sassination of Brownlow Foster, a witness for the government in some distilling vases, about two years ago.
 On August 10, 1893, Deputy Marshals Lawrence and Griggs were in Cleburne county, near Oak Level, to arrest Sigler and one Arlington, who were wanted for illicit distilling. While riding along the road they were fired upon from ambush, Griggs dropping from his horse dead the result of bullet striking him in the head and crushing his skull. A fusilade of bull lets between the remaining officer and des- peradoes followed, and when the smoke had cleared away Arlington was found dead, but his partner or partners escaped. Slglsr was supposed to have been the other bushwhacker.
 Sigler was arrested two or three days ago by Deputy Marshal Lawrence and taken to Attalla, the warrant being return able before United States Commissioner Alexander. The United States marshal for Alabama had offered a reward of S100 for Sigler's arrest, and it was to arrange for this that Deputy Marshal Lawrence brought him to Birmingham.

ballot must be confined to the intelligent, the virtuous, the honest. The older States of the North long ago fixed safeguards around the ballot box, and several southern States have done likewise, and We must follow their example. Their tendency has been to constantly restrict the right of suf- frage and confne it to the intelligence and patriotism of the State. In the August campaign we saw the influence of the one- party one man power in present conei- tions. Kob sent out his mandate to the negroes Of the Black Belt demanding that they refrain from voting. Thousands and thousands obsyed his mandate and were disfranehised. This power is equal to that of the Car of Russia. It shows the danger of the admission of ignorance and sub serviency to the right of the ballot. It is just as dangerous to the integrity of the State 10 thus dsiranchiss it's voters as it is to count their votes for a candidate other than the one for whom they were cast.
 The present constitution needs amend ing in respect to Inc regulations governin g the judicial system of the State, in respect to the school system and in many other re- spects.
