COLONEL OATES.

Colonel Oates. OF Alabama, has occu-
MED a very considerable space in the
public eye for many years, am always
with credit TO himself and his state.
lie came to Virginia at the beginning
Of the war. served through 1t with dis
tir on ended the war af colonel OF
MS REGIMENT. and left an arm on Ire
battlefield He has long been IN Con-
eress as q representative from Alabama,
and nc has maze there n record Of which
both he and his State may be proud.
lie is now canvassing Alabama rs
~ candidate for the Democratic nomina-
lion for Governor, under a very general
demand Tor him. as the most formid bic
opponent the State can furnish 10 the
poDunst Kolb.
Colonel oates has made a number Of
speeches IN this canvass In Alabama and
we are glad TO see that he has planted
himself in them squarely upon sound
principle refusing to dicker or make any
concessions whatever TO the demagogic
demand Of the day. He does not shirk
the national issues, but, on the contrary,
he courts discussion Of them. In speech
al Tuscumbia, recently, he defended
President Cleveland, and said the Presi-
dent was doing what he conscientiously
believed TO be his duty 10 his country
lie also said that while he favored the
free coinage Of silver he wanted one
dollars worth Of silver put into every
silver dollar.
This is the way that the leaders of the
Democratic party should talk everywhere
The following extract from a recent
financial circular of Hambleton & Co.
of Baltimore. presents strongly the rea-
sons why sound money should be in
sisted upon and the seigniorage bill be de-
feated:
The issuing Of 100000 additional cur
Tency against the silver bullion in the
Treasury, every ounce of which Is al
ready pledged for the security Of notes
outstanding, and which bullion is, in fact,
worth probably $50,O00,O00 less than il
was when so used as a basis of value

ply dishonest and yet the Senate. con-
trolled by the Democratic party, PUSHES
through the Bland bill without taking
time to consider what it is doing. and
I'm the face of the protest of every leading
financial journal and leading financial
and business institution In the country.
DO the senators for one moment suppose
that the people, the business men of
the country, the financial Institutions,
the corporations, the depositors who have
many millions I'm the savings banks, or
any man who owns property or secum-
ties. or who possesses anything can an
prove Of their action, or that they will
support a party which is so regardless OF
their welfare as TO permit the passage OF
a bill through the Senate which strikes
a blow at the credit and honor Of the
nation, which threatens 10 debase our
currency and place the United States
on "a level with such countries as nave
become bankrupt under the whitening
blast Of a fiat currency? How is 10 DOS

GORMAN AND RAsIN AT ODDS.

THIS in itself means much of interest TO
the politician, as there seems TO be more
involved tnan appears upon the surface.
That Senator German and br Rasin. the
boss of Baltimore are In open antagO-
nlsm over the reassessment measure has
been definitely known for some days. II
Us stated that a rupture between German

The counties controlled by German are
arrayed TO favor of the assessment bin
while Baltimore city and counties con-
tfOlltd by Rasin are opposed TO II. The

day without recommendation. Then the
battle royal viii begin. Meantime the
respective friends Of German and Rasiu
are accusing and abusing the friends OF
the other at a lively rate.

ferences between the TWO gentlemen in
whose hands have rested the destinies OF

-, To add TO the interest OF the battle

Rasin and the old-time friend. but for
the last few years The implacable Zoe Of
Senator German. Mr.. George Cotton.

LaCes and EmbrOiderieS.

Sometimes but one width Of a
style, sometimes insertings only.
There are a dozen reasons why the
importer was glad to close out these
lots Of LaceS and Embroideries al
whatever he could get, but not one
of the reasons affect the worth Of
the goods to the retail buyer.
Scarcely thing shown anywhere
on those heaped counters that any
woman would not be glad to have
at the regular price.
What then Of prices at half? For
instance:
o-inch Point de Ireland Lace, with
net top, at I25c.
