The Oyster Question.


Another most important subject to be
considered by the legislature before ad-
journment in March is the oyster question.
The governors message was devoted
largely to this subject, which the proper
committee is acting upon with a view of
securing some wholesome legislation. 1t is
believed that an attempt will be made to
secure a uniform rental of the oyster beds
at the rate of 81 an acre, without discrimi-
nation against parties residing outside the
state
If the governors recommendations are
adopted, which is quite likely, the oyster in
duStry will be placed under the control of a
special commission, with a shelfish COM
missioner at its head, whose headquarters
are to be somewhere in the tidewater dis
trict
Heretofore all matters concerning the
oyster question have been referred to the
board of Chesapeake and it's tributaries.
That body consists of the governor, the
auditor of public accounts and the state
treasurer All of these officials are kept
busy with their other duties and they have
found il very difficult to give the necessary
time to this subject. 1t is therefore probable
that that board will be abolished and Its
authority conferred on the special commits
sion if created. If the governors recon-
men1ation for the indiscriminate rental
posed oyster bill 1T will meet with strong
opposition from the tide-water representa-
tives. The governor proposes to give the
people of Virginia given time within
which to take up these oyster lands. If at
the expiration of that time there are any
remaining unoccupied these shall be
thrown open to all who may desire them.

Another subject which is a prolific source
of discussion at each session of the general
assembly is the subject of reducing the
crimir al expenses of the state. which are
claimed by many to be far in excess of
actual requirements. The court of appeals
about two years ago decided that under the
existing law each accused could insist IN
criminal cases upon his right to be tried by
a jury. This decision, of course, greatly
added to the expenses to be incurred by
criminal proceedings. 1t is now proposed
by the criminal reformers, as they are
called, to in some way change the law so as
to admit of the trial off minor criminal Of
lenses in other ways than by juries, and ct
the same time avoid violating the constitu-

ABSOLUTELY PURE

If there is any excuse for the lack of learn ing it is certainly the plea of patriotism. We can forgive any man. s short comings in literature who forsook his books to take up the bayonet. But the author should not have admitted the defects in his early edu- cation-they would never otherwise have been discovered in his verses, many of which are polished classics. The poets divine gift is born with him, and the pol- ish which he gets in the schools too often robS him of the natural fire and impetuos- ity that thrills the human heart. The greatest poets that eyer charmed an en- raptured world were not men of letters Shakespeare himself knew but saittle Latin and less Greek.'' Dr. Dozier'B life a thrilling martial air, which is much, more effective than classical allusions. The volume is appropriately dedicated by it's author to the boys who wore the gray.
 ''Foibles of Fancy and Rhymes of the Times'' was written during the leisure moments of a very active and busy life. It Is doubtful if It has lost any of it's charfn from such circumstance. Some of the brightest men who ever adorned literature, have been men of business or professional life. Dr. Holmes was a skilled surgeon; Charles Lamb was bookkeeper for the East India company for many years, and Ma thaniel Hawthorne was an .em ploye of tn Salem custom house. An active life seems to keep the mind from stagnating, and keep it in touch with humanity. Give us the thoughts that are mined from the rioh vein of human experience, rather than those of the nusty tome. It is the mark of own great soul rather than from other

HOW IS THIS FOR A SCHBllE?
Some More Medicine to Be Adminis. tered by Combine-Where
 Will All This Stop?

To the Ago-Herald:
 There is a scheme under way which will have the effect of making Birmingham a simple way station, as far as the great Southern railway combine is concerned, if it proves successful. I have been reliably informed that orders have been received ordering all moveable property of the Georgia Pacific to Washington, and that it with the shops and general offices at this point. It is well known that the Atlanta Constitution has been boas.ing that the shops would be removed from Birmingham and located in the former city. Just here it will not be amiss to call the attention to the fact that the following extract from the bylaws and charter of the Georgia Pacific railroad, December 31, 1881, requires "the principal offices of this company shall be in the city of Birmingham, county of Jef- ferson, state of Alabama, and that all an- nual meetings of stockholders and directors shall be held at the office of the company in the city of Birmingham. ' They are also required to keep their shops here. Now, as the manipulators of the great Southern combine propose to apply to the next session of the legislature to they have swallowed up, the Commercial club should. see to it that the members of the house ard senate are posted as to the proposed violation of the chartered provis- ions of said corporations. mention the Commercial club for the reason that the good work they have been doing in the in. terest of Birmingham and surrounding country warrants the assertion that they will leave no stoue unturned to enforce compliance with chartered requirements by thls powerful combine.

PURIFY TIE BALLOT.

Charges and countercharges of fraud in elections continue to be uttered throughout the country. In every recurring campaign the same old cry is heard. Men who hold business and social positions, whose word in business matters Is considered as good as their bond, and who pass among their fell low-citizens as honorable and upright in all ordinary matters, are charged polit- icaly with the offense of ballot box stuf- fing, fraudulent fixing and perjured man. ipulations. Public sentiment may be to blame for this condition of affairs, but 1. public sentiment is rapidly changing, and the time is not far of when the theft of a ballot, an instrument so< sacred to the American voter, will stamp the offender as one unworthy of social recognition. Then will the courts lay hold upon such crimi- nals and just punishment will quickly follow.
 Political ward masters are prone to boast of the position they hold in infu- encing ballot boxes to give accounts at variance with the will of the voter. The public may shut it's eyes at the offense as It is committed, but way down in the public conscience there is a feeling of superlative contempt for the offender; and if he lives
 
 violated law. The ballot box stufferl Behold himl A man whose good will is necessary to be gained for a season to do the dirty work for political aspirant, but whose character is best known to the master whose tool he makes himself. The ballot box stufferi A perjured instrument in the hands of de- signing men. The ballot box stufferl Who stalks about as the midnight assassin to stab the will of the free voter. The ballot box stufferl Who robs without discrimi- nation, taking away the expressed will of his own friend as we'll as that of his stall wart enemy.
 He who steals hog or any other thing of intrinsic value from its owner steals merely that which energy and effort can re- place, but he who steals from the American voter an expression of his will, vouchsafed to him by the constitution of his State and country, robs him of that which nothing can replace-hence the punishment for the latter offense should be ten- fold greater than that infiicted-for the former.
 The welfare of the country appeals loudly to public sentiment for a frowning down of this great crime of ballot box stuffing. It is wrong in the eyes of God and of man. It is violation of human and divine law. 1t is the greatest of all dangers which con- front the American people. Let us purify the ballot. It can and must be done.

The great charities of Northheld are elo- quent testimony to the spirit of the great benefactor. Recently in another city it was suggested that the evangelist came for money, and he would not accept one cent for his labors.
 MT. Moody reaches the city next Satur- day and will hold his first meeting Sunday, the Fist inst, in the Wigwam. Prof. D.. B. Towner, the famous singer, comes Tuesday to organize large choir In readi- ness for the meetings.
 The Commercial Club should aid in ad- vertising these meetings, as there are thousands of people all over Alabama who have long heard of "Moody and Sankey," and would be glad to visit Birmingham during the meetings.
 MT. Moody writes he can remain in Bir- mingham only ten days, as he is due in To- ronto the 4th prox. This'wiils be his only meeting in he South. Our people gener- ally should respond to the cali of the Pas tors' Evangelical Union, and meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Wigwam, where addresses will be made by different speakers preparatory to the Moody meet ings.

REPUBLICAN, ROT.

The following specimen of arguments CD are found In one issue of the leading Re- publican newspaper of the West
 ''The point of greatest significance in politics just now is that the revival of busi- ness is based upon Republican victories. ;"
 The fact that the revival of business set in long before there were any Republican victories, and that since this year's elec- tions began there have been quite as many Democratic as Republican victories is en- tirely overlooked.
 'sJohn Sherman declares corn to be the greatest blessing conferred on the world by America; and the Republican party has caused more of it to be produced than any other in our history.'
 The irreverence, if not blasphemy, of this argument lies in the denial of any credit to an allwise and bountiful Provi- dence in the matter of corn-raising in America. That, however, is characteristic of the press and orators of "the party of great moral ideas.', The mendacity of the assertion is found in the fact that the grea t corn crops of this and last year were pro- duced under Democratic administration; while, during the whole of our history, more of it has been produced under Demo- cratic administrations than any other.
 s'There has been a decline of fropl Il to 16 per cent in the prices of different grades of wool since the tariff bill was passed.'
 There is some truth in this specimen i, but it lies in the fact that the decline has been in the different grades of foreign wool, while there has been a corresponding ng rise in the price of domestic or American wool, of which our farmers are reaping the benefits, and for which they return than ks to the Democratic party.
 These argumentsCD when explained are perhaps little more lucid than any that have been heard to show why, Gas Dem- ocrat,o any one could. would or should vote for MT. Aldrich, 8 pronounced life long Republican protectionist, nominated by negro white Radical convention on a Republican platform.

DWIGHT L. MOODY.

No religious event in the history of Bir- mingham will arouse so much interest To. cally and indeed throughout the ertire State as the approaching Moody meetings. Since Charles H. Spurgeon's marvellous voice was hushed in the great London tab- ernacle, Dwight L. Moody is generally re- garded as the worlds mightiest preacher. Another thing, besides his remarkable gifts, which have given him such a hold upon the people, is his complete conse- cration to his high mission and the utter absence of any mercenary spirit. While he could have been almost Q millionaire by simply reaching forth his hand to receive the gifts of wealth. he is poor man. Hun dreds of thousands Of dollars have been made by the publication of Gospel Fly mns i, but MT. Moody would never accept a cent.

THE DIFFER ENCE.

Birmingham Republican newspaper asks lot of categorical questions as to the political acts and purposes of Senator Nor gan. and answers them In the affirmative. Then it says for Aldricn time too !o Why not extend the list and ask, does Senator Morgan eat rare steak for breakfast? So
 does Aldrich. Does Senator Morgan turn
 up his coat collar when the east wind
 blows? So does Aldrich. Does Senator
 Morgan wear stovepipe hat? So does-
 no, he wears soft hat, but he will wear a
 beaver if he gets to Congress.
 The Tribune also tries to make it appear that Senator Morgan and MT. Aldrich are de- seconded from the same political party. If the Republican editor had oontended that both descended from Adam it's contention would have met with more general acceptance. To make its point the Tribune juggles with names. There have been various changes in the nomenclature of the two great polit-
 ical parties, but no change in the two
 grand opposing principles that gave them birth. The Democratic party was founded by Thomas Jefferson and was first called the Republican, or Democratic Republican
 party. The party founded by Alexander Hamilton, and now represented by the Re- PNSAAS"u fo' " hoc hoN ooNSAoA NAASaeA" names. But there is nothing in @ name principles are everything. When the con- stitutionsl convention of 1787 met at Phila-
 delphia, it was developed that there were
 two opposing principles represented-one
 centrifugal, the other centripetal. The
 one favored maintaining the individuality
 of the citizen, tho largest liberty possible
 within the bounds eoi the law, and the sovereignty of the State within the limits
 prescribe bed by the constitution. The other
 advocated enlarged Federal authority, a
 centralized government, and governmental
 control modelled after the monarchies of
 Europe. Now, Jefferson advocated po-
 litical liberty, and Hamilton centraliza-
 tion. And in this day the Democratic
 party, founded by Jefferson, represents the
 first, and the Repu blican party, founded
 by Hamilton, represents the second. The
 fact that the .Repub blican. party is still inn
 bued with the dangerous tendency of cen-
 tralizationi is shown in it's enactment of
 the Force bill, in it's advocacy of protec- tion, and in its bestowing upon the Presi. dent the power of taxation by the reef. procity clause of the Mckinley bill. Keep
 ing in view these two grand distinctions
 between the two parties, is not Morgan a
 Democrat and Aldrich a. Republican in
 spite of the Republican paper 's sophistry2

"FoIBLEs OF FANCY AND RHYMEs


 OF THE TIMEs,' BY ORION T. DozIER, M. D.-DIsPATcH PRINTING COMPANIES PRESS. S4
 There has just been issued very bright Orion T. Dexter. It was published by q home publishing house, the Dispatch Printing company, and it's typography is very pleasing. After reading the volume we have been fairly captivated by it--not because 1t was written by Birmingham man, but because of it's real merit. It's chief charm is it's brightness, it's hunor, it's philosophy, which are the leading char acteristics of Dr. Holmes' verses, and coming now just after we have lost the 'sAutocrat," it is doubly welcome. The title of this bright book is tFoibles of Fancy and Rhymes of the Times," and in the preface Dr. Dozier says it is compiled from poems he has written from time to the public press. A number of the poems are dear old familiar friends, having been widely published in the newspapers, and this, by the way, is the true test of merit, for the newspapers have access to the bsst productions of the most cultured minds, and only publish articles of merit. Those who have read and admired the poems of Dr. Dozier in the newspapers aud desire to keep them in their libraries will find this book very acceptable.
 In the preface the author says he does not pretend to literary culture, his college course having been cut short by the war.
