AS OTHERS SEE LIS.

The Mobile Register reads us a lesson here in Jefferson county. It comes little late, after we had reused up to full appre. citation of our duty. but it may be well for us to hear this voice of expectation that comes from Mobile, so that we will be spurred to keepeterlastingly at the busi- ness of preserving law and order among ourselves and by the forces that inhere in ourselves. Here is the way the Register puts it:
 The full strength of the States military will be needed to suppress it, for the Governor must be able to place force at each exposed point that shall be sufficient to overawe and restrain those who are disposed to violate the law. The indications are that this is not temporary requirement., but one that must be met until the civil powers of Jefferson county can organize force that will be adequate substitute We expect, and the people of the State have the right to expect, that some ac- tion placing the burden of maintaining the law upon the local authorities shall be at once taken. There was mass meeting in Bir- mingham week two ago, whereat very brilliant speeches were made and resolutio ns uihoiding the execution of the law were passed. They read well in print, but what we wish to see is an uprising of the people of Birmingham and Jefferson county to forcbly and legaily-acting as posse comitatus un- der the orders of the sheriff-put down law lessness by bringing the offenders to justice. Ibis is the duty of those people, and we call upon them to perform it. If they do not do it it will be humiiating confession that the State is supporting standing army for their exclusive benefit and that they do not de- serve it,

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of Alabama, in convep- tion assembled, reafirm the principles of
 4ocI atic party as declared in the platform of OUT party at Chicago in 1892, and congratulate the country upon the suo- cess of those principles in the triumphant election of Grover Cleveland, who, by his generous treatment of our people, has shown that be is the president of the whole country, knowing no north, no south, no east, 10 west.
 We recognize the wisdom and patriotism of our president and believe in his fealty to the 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 people, While there are differences of opinion among us in matters of detail, we all believe in the free coinage of silver whenever 1t can be done consistently with the maintenance of a sound and safe cur rency. --.-a-..~
 Ws-eafnestt'tsp urge upOn our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of tho 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks.
 We heartily commend and indorse the present administration of the state govern ment, headed by Governor Thomas C.. Jones, who has so wisely and courageously discharged his great trust, and we com mend his impartial and fearless execution of the laws.
 We pledge to the people of Alabamaa continuance of the good government of our state affairs inaugurated by the election of George 5. Houston in 1874.
 The election law enacted at the last ses- sion of our general assembly is in accord ance with the principles upon which are based the laws regulating elections in a large majority of the states of this union, without regard to party, and intended to obtain at the ballot box full and free ex- pression of the popular will. We believe in giving it fair trial, and should it fail to accomplish the end which it was intended to effect, we pledge ourselves to make such changes and alterations therein as may be necessary to effect that end.
 We pledge our party to the maintenance of system of free public schools and to increase the appropriations for that pur- pose whenever the financial condition of the state will permit.
 The party is pledged to continue it's ef- forts 10 remove all the evils of the present convict system, and to enact all appro- priate legislation to prevent it's working Injustice to any class of our people.
 We extend a cordial invitation 10 all voters of Alabama, who believe in the principles of democracy and are in favor of the maintenance of good government, z to unite with us in the election of tue ticket nominated by this convention.

HOME SEEKERS
From Far Away Iowa Have an Advance Guard Looking Over
 Alabama.

The immi grafton question has not been dropped by promoters of the state because of a little trouble in this district, but they are at work, teeth and toe nails, trying to get colony of northerners settled down here among us. MT. P. Sid Jones, the local travelling passenger and immigration agent of the Louisville and Nashville, who made trip through the northwest in the interest of southern immigration, is reap ing good results from his trip.
 He has now in south Alabama party of advance represen tatives from Iowa, who are looking over that portion of the state seeking suitable place for the location of a colony.
 They will be in the state for about a week and will make the selection of a place for a colony, to be made up of 100 families, who are ready to come to Alabama's sunny land and quit Iowa's wintry blizzards.- This colony will be first founded, and will be followed by the locating and founding of two more. The one that is under way now will bs made up of families who have been saving up money, and have created a gen. eral iund for the establishment of this col- ony and for the building of Saw mills, shoe factories, tan neries, etc.
 The first thing to be established after these people have gotten settled will he . shoe factory and saw mill, which will be followed by other industrial enterprises on a small scale. These enterprises are to be builded and operated on co-operative plan, each family putting so much in the general fund and reaping it's pro rata from the net earnings and profits.
 The other colonies will be established and operated on similar scale.
 The people that intend composing the colony are very industrious apd enterpris- ing and are coming south with the single idea of making their living by the opera tion of small industries. They will build their own school buildings, churches, ,and, in fact, will make town of their own. The engineering party will be in the city next week.

THE SCHOOL AMENDMENT.

Every voter, without regard to race, color or politics, should vote for the school amendment, for the following reasons.
 1. It levies no tax, but enables school dis tricts to do so if they desire, after securing the necessary legislation.
 2. Its adoption IS essential to the devel- oPTnent of our present school system. In fact, many of our towns and cities will be compelled to abandon or cripple their pres- ent efficient schools if it fails, because they will be unable to spare the funds from their regular levy. These must meet the interest on their bonded debt, and maintain their fire, police and sanitary departments. The school appropriation will be the first to suffer.
 8. Local taxation for schools is no ex- pertinent. Forty-taree States in the Union authorize (many require) it. "1n forbidding local taxation for schools, Ala bama stands solitary and alone."
 4. There may be, there are, objections to the amendment, but of one thing there is no doubt. With it public education in Alabama will move forward without it a retrograde movement seems inevitable. Every district will have what it would have without, while those will have addi- tional facilities who are willing to pay for them.

 GEN. ROBERT D. JOHNSTON, in his speech before the citizens meeting, showed flash of the old Southern spirit that famed like a sword on many battle field. It is the patriotic love of country that makes man willing to die rather than see the laws set aside and riot rule. The speaker carried the crowd with him as thoroughly as did Marc Antony. When he held up to view the body polite so desper- ateIy wounded it moved the people as did the gaping wounds of Cgsar. 70 judg- ment, thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reasons" 'Then l, and you, and all of us, fell down, whilst bloody treason fourished over us.' 70 meni If were disposed to stir your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage"-but no, the law must take it's course. Just there the speaker differed from the great Roman. Antony infiamed the populace to ''re- venge, burn, fire, kill, slay," and proudly exclaimed "Mischief, thou art afoot, take thou what course thou wilt" In so doing he showed that he was more of friend than patriot. It takes a man of true mo- bility to rise above personal feeling into tife pure realm of patriotism.
