ADAM ALDAY DEAD.

Moltne's WeIl-known Citizen Passes Away
An Experienced LitIgant.
Adam Alday, citizen of Moline
well known for his frequent appear
ance in litigation, died Wednesday
night at 1880 at his residence, 22S
Twelfth avenue, of paralysis. The
funeral probably will be held on Sun
dav.
Mr.. Alday has been a resident of
Moline for 35 years and much of
the history of the west part of that
city is linked with his life. He was
born in Germany on Feb. 4. 1881, and
at the time of his death was 81 years,
. months and 4 days of age. In No
vember. 1854, he came to this county,
and with the exception of short
residence at Pixies Peak, he has al
ways lived here.
Started Life Humbly
He started ut housekeeping and
bricklaying with meagre wages, and
from this lowly station by his perse-
verance and pluck he gradually
amassed fortune of modest preten-
sions. He dealt greatly in real
estate, particularly in the west end.
He leaves four children, all grown:
William, at home, two sons in Oak ota,
and daughter by his first wife,
which daughter was with him at the
time of his death.

THE FINAL CHARGE.

During the two weeks that have just elapsed not less than 200O men have said over their own signatures that they would no longer support Kolb, and two papers that fought his battles ardently heretofore have renounced him and his methods forever As the cam paign draws 10 a close. flushed with victory, the Democratic hosts are charging the broken column of the once formidable enemy, whose unconditional surrender will occur August 6, 1894. Huntsville Mercury.
 We've got Kolb beaten already by 20, 900 majority. But that won't do. He'll run again dead sure, and fool somebody into putting up the money for him to run on. As the Mercury says. we've got his ranks broken, his old followers are leaving him for their proper place in their old party, and by August 6 we must have him so badly routed that he will surrender, uncondi- tionalIy. Alabama doesn't want to be dis tnrbed by any more Kolb campaigns. They are nuisance.

DON'T WORRY YoURsELF.

Has President Cleveland taken any steps to inv estigate the brutal and wholesale murder of colored citizens of the United States in Alabama by strikers, whose places they had taken at the Birmng- ham mines9 The New Orleans Times Demo- crat, a leading Southern newspaper, says that ''the killing was as brutal a slaughter as ever staine d the pages of history.' It was certainly worse than anything that occurred during the strike riots at Chicago. The life and liberty of the humblest citizeG are not ex- cepted from the guarantees of theF ederal Constitution, and where such massacre is possible, official duty requires that the Con- stltution shall be enforced. New York Press.
 Don't worry yourself. The law and or der sentiment in Alabama is quite strong enough 10 cope with crime without any help from Washington. The Federal gov ernment may confne It's intervention to more lawless sections of the country. The rioters have nearly all been arrested by the sheriff of Jefferson county and are at this very moment undergoing a trial in the courts. The civil power in Alabama is power indeed, because it is upheld by pub- lie opinion acting through good citizen ship, which sees that the right sort of men are elected Governor and sheriffs.

 Exactly. And that is what should nerve the Democrats to extra exertion during the few days left of this memorable campaign. If we can beat the genial Reuben by ma- iority so big that the Bl ack Belt won't cut any figure in it, he will quit running, sweet peace will settle down over Alabama once again and we will take up our story of prosperity to lose it's thread no more. Let every Democrat do his best from now till the polls close. Don't be satisfied with a mere majority. We want majority so overwhelming that the enemy won't raise

 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his fealty to tLe principles of our party, and indorse his administration of the federal govern ment While some of us may differ from him in matters of policy, We are agreed in the belief that he is actuated by motives of highest patriotism and by an unselfish de- votion to the highest good of the whole reople. While there are differences of cpipion among us in matters of detail, we all believe in the free coinage of silver whenever it can be done consistently with the maintenance of a sound and safe cur repcy
 We earnestly urge upon our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of inc 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks. # e

NO BLUFF.

Admiral Ammen writes a letter in the Baltimore Sun discussing at length the feasibility and desirability of building the Nicaragua canal. He has been over the ground, knows all about it personally and is it's warm advocate from every standpoint. He was one of a government commission who investigated the matter twenty years ago and has taken deep interest in it ever since. He writes that he has all along ad- vised the present company to go abroad for capital if they desired to make anything out of their valuable concession; that Con- gress would not pay them it's value. He declared that if he were director in the before Congress, but would seek investors who set something like it's real value an the concession obtained.
 We all know there is such a thing as Congress trifiing too long and trying to drive too hard bargain. We may be cer
 tain, are already admonished, that Eng land will not let us control the canal if she can help it.. The Baltimore Sun, a paper more profoundly trusted, perhaps, than any other great Democratic daily in this country, says of Admiral Anmen's letter:
 In communication printed in today's Sun Admiral Ammen discusses the alleged bluff'' oI the Nicaragua Canal Company in sending persons to Europe at this time to sell the val uable concessions it owns to a syndicate of English capitalists, and declares that if mem- bers of the canal conn any have gone 10 Eu- rope on canal business it is by no means to biuf Congress into taking up the canal bill. The object of their going, he is assured, is to sign an agreement already entered into to secure capital to build tho canal The com pany is tired of bein g trihed with by Congress, and will look abroad for funds. The terms on which even the friends of the enterprise in Congress insist are so onerous and unjust as to dispose the company to reject the govern ment's help. As to incorporation, the er- mont act is sufficient The construction of the canal will give large profits to holders of
 it's shares. Consequently il is no favorto shareholders for the government to indorse bonds, or otherwise aid, on terms tn at would enable il to gobble up the whole thing at minimum price, The company has desired to give the enterprise a national character by having the government identified with it on equitable terms but if the Unitcd States cannot see its national importance, the control of the canal will have to go elsewhere. That we shall control 1t if others build il is an absurd proposition, as well as an immoral one. Sooner or later the can al will be built. The Monroe doctrine myth of American interfer- eIce was exploded when De Lesseps took hold of the Panama scheme, and will Dever amount to anything in this case

ISLANDER DENIED.

To the Age-Herald:
 It is pretty we'll known that Mir. l.. W. Turpn is candidate for re. election to congress. It is understood also that young man from Jefferson is desirous of contesting that honor with him. This candidate has some very indiscreet friends. Several weeks since Mr. Turpin's friends were appealed to to keep the congressional race in the back ground until after the state election. Knowing that their candi- date would be safely renominated they have done this.
 During all these hot days the editor of the Bessemer Weekly has been firing his little gun at MT. Turpin, the articles read ing as if written in Birmingham.
 This week it charges that MT. Turpin sold the Birmingham postottice to me. It is not worth while for me to say more than that the charge is wilfully false, and man. ufactured for campaign purposes only. The parties circulating it do not believe it themselves.
 It is strange, though, that they tell in Bessemer that this office was bought and tell in Birmingham that the Bessemer of- little paper didn't see fit to tell that. Per- haps that was saved for future use.
 Mir. Cleveland made these appointments immediately upon MT. Turpin's recom- mendation. The natural inference Is that MT. Cleveland got some of the money. See at once the 1O-oent absurdity. If these offices had been auctioned off the prices would probably have been higher than those mentioned. There is no need to say more. MT. Tur- pin is amply able to take care of his own campaign, and silly islander never made vote for any man. The agents who started this islander could do no harm to any one.

WAsHINoToN, Aug. 1.-Representatives Grosvenor of Ohio and Gen. H. V. Boyn- ton, who are members of the executive committee of the Army of the Cumberland organization, decided today to postpone for one year the reunion which was to have been held at the Chattanooga battlefield September 19 and 20. The dedication of the field, which has been required for government park, hes been postponed uniii september, 1895. to give time for the erection of monuments by states whose troops fought there, and it is thought best to hold the reunion at the same time.
