Of Alabama, is irrepressible. but not dan
gerous II was hoped that after he took
+ the oath OF Office as governor before a
justice OF the peace on the day that Gov.
Oates was inaugurated. and addressed his
few followers in the streets Of the state
capital, nothing more would be heard of
him as a claimant Of the gubernatorial
office IL seems. however. that he has
decided 10 make himself as disagreeable
as possible by doing what he can to en-
barrass Gov. Oates administration. His
address to the general assembly and peo-
PIE Of Alabama" which appeared in our
dispatches yesterday is an announcement
that he purposes keeping himself before
the people as long as he thinks anybody
will pay any attention to him.
He advises those VINO voted for him not
to pay their taxes. and suggests 10 tax
collectors who are in sympathy with him
not TO turn over any money to the state
officer whose duty 1t is to receive it.
What Capt. Kolb hopes to gain by Civ
ing advice Of this kind is not apparent.
II his advice should be followed he would
not be the gamer by it, but those who
withheld their taxes would be put to a
good deal Of trouble and expense. The
property Of the non-paying taxpayers
would be seized for taxes and sold. and the
money due the state collected.
If Capt. Kolb has any property It is
pretty safe to assume that he will pay the
taxes upon it before he will permit it to
be sold. There is no doubt that Gov. Oates
will not hesitate to enforce the laws, and
tax collectors and taxpayers who attempt
to resist the laws will have trouble. The
course that Capt. Kolb is pursuing
is an extremely selfish one. In order to
keep himself before the public he is doing
what he can to bring about disturbances
in the state and to get those who have sup
ported him and who still sympathize with
him to array themselves against the laws
and the state authorities. If there was a.
prospect for accomplishing anything for
his cause by the course ne is pursuing
there would be some little excuse for him.
but there isn't the remotest probability
that either the governor or the legislature
VIII take any further notice of him or

has resigned from the presidency of the
alliance, and retired to private life-so he
says. He thinks the Deity had a great
deal to do with the recent election. and
that He was on the wrong side. inasmueh
as He permitted Donnelly to be beaten.
Says the great populist prophet of Min
nesota: God seems to have decreed that
1 should never possess any high posi-
ton from which l should carry out nv
ideas for the good of the human family.
Even the privilege of working for reform
in the narrow field of the legislature
of the state is denied me. With a brain
busy with schemes for the welfare of
men and heart fun of benevolent i'm
pulses. l am left as utterly powerless as if
1 had been transferred bodily to the re-
hottest wilds of Alaska. Corporate power
has built a wall of fire around me
through which / cannot pass" What a
pity it is that the Deity should have
fallen victim of the corporate power''
and been separated from Donnelly by that
wall! What a pity that God didn't know
Donnelly Yves a great. good and benevo-
lent man in time to support him for the
legislature! But above all, what a pity
it is that there are men with votes who
are fools enough to be led by this miserable
crank and scoffer at religion and divinity.
1t was hardly to be expected that the
new diphtheria remedy and the new prin
ciple in therapeutics discovered by Prof.
Behring would take the medical profess
sion by storm. 1t is but natural that there
excitement caused by the successful tests
of the discovery. The reaction has begun
in Berlin. DIR. Hanzman, an assistant in
Prof. Nirchow's laboratory and known IN
speak Virchow's opinions, attacks the
blood serum. He denies that it immunizes
human beings and declares that no suffi-
cient proofs have been produced respect
ing it's curative properties. 1t may or NAV
not be that there is professional jealousy
oehlha the attack; nevertheless IL will
serve the purpose of warning medical
practitioners not to be too hasty in ac-
cepting innovations. If the serum is really
a specific for diphtheria it will triumpb
over its critics; if it is not what it is claim
ed to be- it is time that a warning had
been sounded.
II there is to be any action upon the sepa-
rate tariff bills at this session of congress
the Senate must adopt some rule for limit
ing debate. The life of the session itself
is limited to about ninety days, counting
Sundays and holidays. The new congress-
will be inaugurated on March 4. next Rv
