ROLLINS INSTITUTE.

This high school for young ladies, though bearing the name of ''institute, is really superior to many with the more i'm mposing title of college or university. It has fine equipment, in a most beautiful and salu- brious country. Its faculty of eight gen. tlernen and twenty ladies are of high liter ary, scientific and artistic accom- plish- ment and personal character. During the past half century the school has done a great and oble work It's graduates are all over this and other lands. Many hold elevated social and professional situations.
 It's semi centennial was celebrated on the 7th of June, 1893, in the presence of pupils and patrons from twenty states, and looks forward into the next half century with the highest prospects of success. Further information may be had by addressing Charles L. Cooke, superintendent, Hol- IiuS Va

at every box as one of the managers, and 1 selected, too, from a list furnished by Captain Kolb's committee. That is the
 treatment they get in the greatest of all the
 white counties, and in thirty eight others
 they claim to themselves control tue ap-
 pointing power.
 The truth of the business is, that all over
 the State the Democrats are making every
 effort to carry the next election under fair and square execution of the Sayre election
 law. The very purpose of the law, enacted by Democrats and framed by Black Belt Democrat, is to secure fair election. It is the Democratic pledge to the people against fraud in elections. It is the method devised by nearly all the States of the Union and by the enlightened nations of the earth, to secure honesty in elections. The | men and the party who uphold it and stand by it ure to be trusted. Those who oppose
 it and denounce it are fighting fair cleo tions in Alabama. They are seeking to
 turn Alabama back to that law and those
 conditions under which Captain Kolb him. self became 8 suffer of ballots under the plea that he had to do it to keep down the negro.
 It is favorite plea with the Jeffersonian orators to say that while they are getting square deal in the white counties controlled by the Democrats, they are to be swindled in the Black Belt. In the same breath they
 claim that the negroes there have not reg .istered. As a matter of fact, all the &C., tions of the Democrats point to an exact enforcement of the law, not only in the white counties, but in the black. The point that concerns us now is the extent to which men who fight this modi- fled form of the Australian ballot can be trusted in counties where they have con-
 trol. That is the point of danger to fair electionin Alabama.

AGAINST ANARCHY.

The good citizens of Birmin gham. Ala, are rising against the powers of anarchy It is about time they should make some kind of a protest,-- Memphis Commercial.
 It is our misfortune that the impression has become so widespread over the country that we were indifferent here in Birming- ham to the lawless conditions prevailing over the county. People everywhere have wondered why our own people did not make some public and emphatic manifes- taton of their sympathy with the law offi- cers and of their purpose to uphold the law at all hazards and at every personal sacri- ice. These are the times that test good citizenship, and every good citizen should be ready at all times to declare himself and do whatever he may.

THE CAHARA BRIDGE.

The Commissioners Court decid ed last Mon- day at their regular quarterly meeting to join in with Jefferson county and expend their pro- rata share in building bridge across the Cahaba river. and they appointed R. J. Griffin to confer with the proper auth critics of Jeffer- son county and come to q definite agreement as soon as possible.-Columbiana Chronicle.
 There's no use talking. We've got to have that bridge. There's a proper time to do a thing, and that time is always "now.' Jefferson county can afford f, ought to afford and must afford to strain a point to meet Shelby. Why, Shelby is ready to do her part. She doesn't get any trade by it. She will help build bridge in order to send us trade. The public de- mand the bridge. Let thu Com mmissioners' Court give it to us.

DON'T ROB THE PEOPLE.

Birmingham is on the perilous edge of a shortness in the supply of something to eat. The meat dealers are exhausted al- ready, and we have come to the point of depending on the supply which can be driven in from the surrounding country or shipped from local stations. That source ought, by extra effort, to give us enough to prevent any actual shortage. Meal and other western supplies are also growing short, and we are in the beginning of what might be called threatened scarcity.
 When that condition comes about, peo- pie with money will pay any price de- handed and those with food to sell eau ask any price they choose. We desire on be- half of all the people to demand that no ad- vantage be taken of the public necessity to run up unwarranted profits. Don't rob the people. Don't speculate on their wants. The man who does it may reap a few temporary dollars. but he will not live long enough 10 recover from the contempt and odium in which his name will be held by the people.

WAKE UP.

We have not the slightest doubt that the people would adopt the school amendment if they were aroused and informed upon the subject. It is the duty of the friends of education in every community to take some steps to have the matter discussed be- fore the people. The people in the neigh borhood of Dothan have set good exam pie. They gave over the Fourth of July to the amendment.
 A great dinner was prepared as became the occasion, politics were ruled out and two educators delivered addresses on the school amendment. The people approved it when they understood it. They will ap- prove it everywhere. It is the only hope for better schools. It expresses nobody. The tax for which it provides is forced on no community that doesn't want to pay it. When levied, the money is kept at home and expended on schools for the locality that pays it. Let the friends of education everywhere wake up.

THE contest between the mob and the law at Chicago has reached the point of force against force. The law must be up- held at every cost, and will be upheld. Let no good citizen daily or dodge as to his reached Birmingham, but there will proba. ply be no violence here. The voice and influence of every citizen, strikers in- cluded, must be given to law and order, and the law officers must be sustained in whatever measures they adopt to protect property and keep the peace. A solid front for law, and all will be we'll.

THE POINT OF DANGER,

The nonsense and misrepresen tation of the Jeffersonian orators and leaders with refer ence to purpose on the part of the Demo- crats to count them out, is signally rebuked by the appointment of managers of election here in Jefferson county. Even the chair. man of the Jeffersonian counly committee is forced to admit that he is perfectly satis- fled, both personally and officially as rep-' resenting his party. A capable and com petent follower of Captain Kolb is appointed

ANOTHER CONVENTION.

THIS TIME IT IS THE REPUBLICANS OF
 JEFFERSON COUNTY. It seems that the republicans intend talk ing hand in the approaching election, in Jefferson county at least.
 There are already three legislative tickets in the field, and now fourth is to be put out. Yesterday the following circular was distributed. CALL. To the Citizens of Jefferson County Since we have been snubbed in every way by the Jeffersopian democracy and the organized democracy in this coun- ty, and Knowing that the republicans hold the balance Of power, we therefore issue call to the repub bicans of Jefferson county to assemble in mass meeting at the Jackson building, on Third avenue, be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, to nominate a ticket for representatives to the legislature of Alabama, July g, 1894. Now, gentlemen, this is the first oppor- tunity the republicans have had to elect a ticket since 1874. Let every man turn out and rally to the cause. We are now in the fight to win, and will not leave a stone un- turned. Under tLe Sayre election law the day has dawned once more for the repubIi- can party. Now let us make use of it.

TIE DEMoCRATrC pLArFoRM.

The democracy of Alabama, in conven- tion assembled, reaffirm the principles Of the democratic party as declared in the platform of our party at Chicago in 1892, ress 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 Past, no 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- eotion 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 it can be done consistently with the maintenance of a sound and safe cur rency.
 We earnestly urge upon our senators and representatives in congress the speedy re- form of the tariff and the speedy repeal of the 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 G. Jones, who has so wisely and courageously discharged bis great trust, and we com mend his impartial and fearless execution bf the laws.
 We pledge to the people of Alabamaa continuance of the good government of our state affairs inaugurated by tho election of George s. Houston in 1874.
 The election law enacted at the last ses- sion of our general assembly is in accord Rnce 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 st 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 10 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, 10 unite with us~in the election of the ticket nominated by this convention.

Or course not one in ten in the audience at Montevallo believed MT. Adams state- ment that MT. DeBardeleben is shippin g miners away on free tickets to get rid of kolb votes. MT. DeBardeeben denounces it as false, says he doesn't know or care what are the politics of the men who are leaving. The declaration was unworthy of any populite, least of all Mir. Adams. The supplying of tickets to idle men who wanted to leave in search of employment, is one of the kindly things rhat even corporations are guilty of now and then.

To the Age-Herald:
 l beg to differ with you as to your state- ment that there is no such word as environ ments. A man may live in Birmingham and be in certain environment. He may leave Birmingham and go to New Orleans and get into another environment. He may leave New Orleans and go to Cincin- pati and get into still another environment. It is easy then to understand that man may become the creature of these several environments.
 NYou are also mistaken in your supposi- tion that there is no such word as aimos- pheres. The statement that certain cases become liquefied under pressure of so and so many atmospheres is founded Non too good authority 10 be discredited.
