evidences of Prosperity

1t was "Bill" Mckinley who de.
clared a couple Of years ago that
''mortgages were an evidence OF
prosperity"-and every popgun
Republican orator in the United
States repeated the assertion. srs
Aud now comes the Chicago
Evening Journal-snperanuated to
be sure, but still in the Republican
ring-and says: @
"Strikes indicate prosperity
among the working classes. La
boring men, when ground down to
the last degree, are too much dis
heartened and depressed to or
ganize strike. 1t is when they
have been receiving good wages,
and have thereby been enabled to
save money, that they are willing
to try conclusions with their en-
ployers."
The Pullman strikers were so
prosperous for instance that they
were getting on an average of %
cents a day. This extravagant in
come made them so obstreperOus
and hightoned that they got to
feeling too good, and they got up
their ears and thought they would
teach their boss a lessOn.-The

Alabama Election.


send you by tO-day's mail the
election returns from Dallas cOun-
ty. Please give publication to
same. We want the people every
where to know the corruption prac-
ticed in Alabama politics. In the
first column you will find the actu-
al vote cast in the different beats,
or within two or three of the ex-
act number. In most of them the
figures are correct. In about all
the beats where the vote does not
show an increase the reformers
were given an inspector that ac-
counts for the correctness of tho
vote. In those beats where the
vote is so largely increased is where
the reform ticket headed by Cap
tain r. L. KOlb, was not allowed
an inspector. In nearly all them
two white men, organized Demo-
Gratis, and an ignorant negro, who
could not read or write were ap-
pointed inspectors. This was the
case in all but two or three beats
where they appointed an .intelli-
gent negro, who claimed to be re-
publican, but i'm fact one who usu-
ally does the bidding of the organ
lied democrats. Please have all
reform papers to copy.

AN ANCIENT "FAKE."
Vt Was Printed in Rivington's "Royal
Gazette" in i778.

What is known as a "fake" in
modern journalism is but a new
name attached to very ancient Of
fense. The editors of our early pa
pers were not free from the discred-
liable practice.
One quite remarkable instance of
the kind has recently been un-
earthed in the columns of James
Rivington's Royal Gazette of Oc-
tober %, 1778. Rivington printed
Tory paper in this city during the
revolution, says the New York Her
aid, and made himself most obnox-
ious to the patriots by publishing
canards about the Continental army,
the congress and Gen. Washington.
His office was sacked just prior to
battle of Long Island, but after that
event and during the British occupa-
tion his paper was the subsidized me-
dium of issuing lies.
In the issue of the paper referred
to find the following remarkable bit
of taking"
October 27.-By letter from Phil
adelphia we learn that on the receipt
of the lastmanifesto from the English
commissioners one of the congress
had the resolution make the follow
ing short speech:
Il have listened to this manifesto
with great attention, and ] am
ashamed to acknowledge that it
breathes spirit of candor and reso-
luton by which am considerably
influenced. No man in this august
assembly dare to express doubt Of
my true attachment to the true inter-
est OF my country. lam convinced
that the interest of America is in
separable from that of Britain, and
that our alliance with France is un-
natural, Improbable, absurd. l
therefore move that this phantom
of independence may be given up
HE had scarcely uttered the
words before the president sent a
message to the Polish Count Pu-
laski, who happened to be exercising
part of his legion in the courtyard
below. The count flew to the
chamber where congress sat, and
with his saber in all instant severed
from his body the head of this hon
est delegate. The head was ordered
by the congress to be fixed on the top
of the liberty pole of Philadelphia as
perpetual monument of the freedom
of debate in the continental congress
of the United States of America.

we can fully test its efficiency,
discover its weak points, and de-
termine what other step to take.
Of one thing all may be assured,
there is no disposition to relax
effort or compromise at any point.
The following declaration made
by the last State Prohibition con-
vention is the unabated and un-
swerving purpose of the friends
of reform:
ave feel assured also that un-
der the suffrage section of our
constitution, eliminating, as it
does, large numbers relied upon
to retain the saloon, we have it
in our power to give the protec-
ton of Prohibition to our entire
State, and we here and now pledge
ourselves to unremitting effort to
attain that end
"Do you still adhere to your
former non-partisan policy z"
"The conviction of its wisdom
has been strengthened with years
of observation and experience.
| respect the convictions and pa
triotic purposes of those who
think it best to organize a party
on that issue. We have in view
the same desired end, and between
us there should be no contention.
But diligent study and personal
inquiry in many States convinces
me that the speediest and largest
results are to be obtained by
keeping the movement distin-
tanled from party politics. That
policy has prevailed in Mississip-
pi, and we have no occasion for
regrets in comparing our achieve
ments and status with any State
in the Union. -

STRANGE WAYWARDNESS.
A Childlike Genius and His Impulsive
and Hot-Headed Wavs,


and Hot-Headed Ways.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, painter
and poet, had impulsive and hot
headed ways, which might have
caused his detractors to consider
him spoiled child. One day when
he was sitting upon the ground
leaning on his easel, it came down
with picture which had given him
great deal of trouble and the china
palette, breaking in pieces, cut his
hands.
"This has ended it ALL" he cried.
II shall have lockjaw; and it is avery
good thing, too! I've had enough OF
this workp'
Nonsense, Gabriel!' said Harry
Quilter, who tells the story. ''Peo-
pie don't have lockjaw simply be-
cause they cut their thumbs"
'f people cut their thumbs they
always have lockjaw," he returned.
'Well, I'm glad shall never touch
this picture again!' And he never
did touch it.
He was both romantic and
shrewd, and among Yankee specu-
lators there are few keener men of
business than was this childlike
genius. Yet he treated the pur-
chasers of his pictures with scant
courtesy.
George Rae, a banker and a fine
Judge of art, had bought several Of
them, but he objected to the price
Rossetti had set on "The Bride" A
few days after he returned and Ros-
setti greeted him sarcastically.
"What do you want for your pic
ture?" asked Rae.
'Three hundred guineas. +"
"Why, you offered it to me for two
hundred and fifty pounds"
IT really don't remember" was
the lordly reply; perhaps I did.
But why didn't you take it? Well,
you may have it for three hundred
pounds. If the odd shillings are of
any use to you, Rae, you're welcome
to them!"
It was sometimes a wonder to
those who knew RoSsetti casually
that his friends bore so patiently
with his moods and impulses, but it
was nevertheless true that he was
deeply beloved and that his faults
were universally tolerated.-Wav-
erley.

Cobra Poison as a Medicine.

A rather curious commission has
been received from the Bombay Nat
ural History society, from the di-
rector general, army medical depart
ment, war Office, viz, to supply him
with 40 grains Of dry cobra poison
for experimental purposes. The
society has offered to collect, if pos
sible, the required amount and dis
patch it to London. A steady in
crease in the market value of cobras
is expected, the same being described
in the Bombay Times as "active,
with a rising tendency."-London

LOCAL OPTION.
A Decision Setting Aside the
Election in Monroe.

ElectlOn Ill MOnTOc.
The opinion of the Supreme
Court of the State, recently de-
livered in the case from Monroe
county, involving the validity of
the ''local option election in that
county, is of more than usual
public interest, since it discovers
very serious discrepancy be-
tween the provisions of the new
Code and the Constitution of the
State in the important matter Of
registration of qualified electors.
The Board of Supervisors of
Monroe county held that the reg
istration book was conclusive evil
dence of who were qualified cleo
tors, and that if one-third of the
persons registered signed the pc
tition for an election, either by
their own hands, or if their
names were signed by their au-
thority, it was sufficient, and or
dered the election accordingly, in
the face of protest by citizens,
qualified voters and taxpayers,
who offered to show that a large
number of those whose names
were on the petition were not
qualified electors, and many had
not themselves signed the petit
ton.
The Supreme Court held that
the board was wrong on both
points; that the registration book,
so far from being conclusive, is
not even prima facie evidence of
who are qualified electors; that it
is simply a list of possible voters;
that it may be told from the reg
istration that the number of quail
flied electors does not exceed the
number of those on it, as regis
tration is an essential qualification
of voter, but that it cannot be
known from the registration that
there is single qualified elector
in the county, since other things
are necessary to qualify one to
vote, which must be passed on by
the officers conducting the cleo
ton at the voting places.
AS to the signature, the decis-
ion is that, by the express pro-
vision of a new law, the petition
ers must have signed their own
names, and any name not so sign
ed, although authorized to be
signed by another, should be re-
jected from the petition, and
counted for nothing. !.
The result was the election was
vacated, not having been ordered
in pursuance of the law which
confers power to order it, on the
petition of one-third of the quail
fed voters of the county, and on
ly on that contingency. The reg
istration law was framed on the
assumption that the registration
book would show who were quail
flied electors. One section, 1912,
provides that no one shall be al
lowed to register who has not
paid all taxes.
The Supreme Court in the Le-
fore county case held this uncon-'
stitutional, and that the registrar
had no right to require evidence
of payment of taxes and had
nothing to do with that.
