LABOR DAY.

The AaE-HERALD surrenders much of its space this morning to matters pertaining to Labor Day, which will be duly observed by all our local labor organizations tomor- row. More than half the men of Jefferson county are laboring people, and it is inter esting to notice their observance of day set aside by them and legalized by the State and nation as royal holiday. Why not make tomorrow a holiday all round? Let us all lay down our work for day, hie us away to East Lake and join the boys in grand hand shake and hurrah. These men are the bone and sinew of our coun- try. They are working men and all honor is due them.
 most interesting program me has been arranged, under direction of the commit tees, and an immense throng will gather by the lake side, hear the orators from among the working men breathe forth sentiments of patriotism, and participate in the lighter pleasures of the occasion. Let's all go.

the executive board were Waugh from Blocton, Willingham from Brookside, Smitherman from Blue creek and Robinson from Pratt mines. No changes have been made in the officers, although their term of office expired on the day of the late suspension, April IA. It was thought best to hold them over until settlement could be effected.
 The object and aims of the United Mine Workers of Alabama, as set out in their pream bles, are: gro secure to the mine workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create; sufficient leisure in which to develop their intellectual, moral and social faculties, in word, to enable them to be abreast with the advancing civilization. To effect these aims the establishment of a bureau of mining statistics was demanded, and also school of mines in connection with it. They also demanded the adoption of laws providing for the health of those engaged in mining; the abrogation of all laws not bearing equally on labor and cap ital; the recognition by corporations of or ders and other associations organized by workmen to improve their condition and to

 vantage of the miners while in existence; (3) by letting portions of the mines out on contract.
 The Sloss company also made reduction of cents per ton. The men were working in very low coal, thereby reducing the men 1-10 of tbeir wages.
 As long as the miners remained in this unorganized condition, so long would they be compelled to accept any and all terms the operators offered them.
 At a convention held in Birmingham in the latter part of June, 1893, the question of organization was brOached, but very lit- tie was said or done in that line. Again { the question was sprung at the Bessemer convention q few days later, and shortly ! after a mass meeting was called at Pratt mines for the purpose of organizing, but { no good was accomplished. Another mass meeting was called, which was attended by seven men. Those seven men concluded that the organization must have a be- ] ginning, and consequently went to work and organized. Later on mass meeting was held at Pratt mines.
 ! When the question of organization was again taken up and 8 resolution passed that convention of the miners in the employ of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company be called to meet at Bessemer that convention then decided to call an other convention at the same place on Oc- tober IA, 1893, at which convention ma jority of the miners of Alabama were rep resented, and the present organization was there formulated and named the United Mine Workers of Alabama.
 Onlcers and an executive board were elected and empowered to draw up con 'stitutiou and general laws 10 be approved at the next convention. The officers were Frank Fournier, president; John G. Smlih i, secretary and treasurer. Members oi

protect their rights; the enactment of law to compel corporations to paytheir employees in lawful money for thelr labor of the pre- ceding week; the enactment of law giving the laborer first lien on the product of his labor to the extent of his wages; law pro- viding for arbitration; that boys under 13 years of age be prohibited from working in the mines; abolition of the convict system i; proper schools for educating their chill dren. The men pledged themselves to es- tablish cooperative institutions, such as will tend to supercede the wage system; to gain some of the benefits of labor -savin g machinery by reducing the hours in and around the mines, and to prohibit the re. duction of the contract system by gen. eral refusal to work for the contractors un- less they pay district prices for labor.

EDITOR MOORE of the Blue Grass Blade has injected something of the picturesque into the Breckinridge campaign. He is a Quaker and of course won't fight. His enemies dare not attack him, for they would be called towards to fight man who won't strike back. The Quaker doc- Urine is equal to a bullet-p proof coat. So Editor Moore says what he pleases. He is more severe on Owen than Breckinridge. Owen is given to drink and Breckinridge to love of women. But Moore seems to think the love of drink more reprehensible than the love of woman.

BIRMINGHAM,s WATER SUPPLY.

BlRM s WATER 5UEFLxs
 Maj. w. J. Milner, Superintendent of the Birmingham Water Works ,shas, at the request of the Commercial Club of this city, presented in pamphlet form facts and figures relative to Birmingham's water supply, which will prove quite interesting to the reading public. Major Milner very clearly demonstrates that Birmingham is better supplied with water than any other city of like population. The pamphlet in- cludes report made by the Superinten- dent to Alderman Thomas, Chairman of the Fire Department Committee of the Oity Council, which has particular reference to the supply and pressure afforded on the night of the Caldwell Hotel fire, about which there has been so much discussion.
 Alter presenting figures showing the source, power and general capacity of the works; that the combined capacity of the reservoirs is 118, 760, 900 gallons; that 360,- 326 feet-6S. 245 miles-of mains are in use, and that all are in good condition and capable of withstanding any pressure that can be put upon them. Major Milner closes his letter to the Commercial Club with the following forceful paragraph:
 .sAs to the quality of the water furnish ed the exceedingly low death rate of the city ought to be sufficient testimony. You will thus see that Birmingham is we'll supplied ; with water facilities. know of no city of it's population, either Northcor South, so well supplied, and believe the Commer- cial Club will be doing public good by making the facts known. The person who, without cause, decries the water supply of his own city is, to that extent, public enemy, for no city will prosper with want of confidence in it's water supply"

THE expression ''personal magnetism" is often used in speaking of public men. James G. Blaine was "magnetic man," and the Governor elect of Alabama is man of magnetism. What does the expression mean? Does it imply that man has a strong physical nature? Not necessarily. It means that a man of personal magnetism is man of strong will power and can at tach other men to his cause even against their own desire. It is the influence of a strong will over others, and might be termed a mild form of hypnotism. This personal magnetism is usually found in men of great ambition.

POLITICS make strange belfellows. The Republicans, Populists and Jeffersonians have no political principles in common, yet they lie down together. It is said by medical men that sleeping with another is unhealthy, as you absorb the disease of your bedlellow. Perhaps the Republicans will absorb from the Populists the big-head end from the Jeffersonians their bilious ness. Then the conglomerate Republican will be a canker on the body polite indeed.
