DON'T TE MISLED.

We presume that Captain Kolb would hardly claim that all the votes in the Black Belt were fraudulent. Even he would ad- nit that some people did vote in that sec- ton of the State. He himself declares that in Montgomery city 1340 white men voted up to 4:30 D. n. He would hardly deny that the Democrats voted in Selma and Eufaula and Union Springs and all over that country. His claim is not that the Democrats did not vote, but that they added votes that were never cast.
 Yet the Democrats have won even if every vote in Montgomery, Lowndes, Bull lock, Barbour, Dallas and Wilcox were thrown out. Here are the majorties in those counties:

CAPTURED THE HOBOS.

EIGHTY coxEYITEs SENT TO BRIDEwELL
 TO DO TIME.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Shortly before o'clock this morning, before the inmates were astir, the forty special policemen from Baltimore under charge of Sergeant Gil- bert swooped down on the "Hobo" Coxey- ites encamped at Highlands, near Bladens- burg, Md, about six miles from Washington, and captured the entire "Army of the Commonweal. Eighty eight in number on charges of vagrancy were arrested. The arrested men were taken to Hyattsville and put on board special train for Bridewell, where they will for three months work at hard labor. Their leaders, including Marshals Mckee and Christopher Jones, wera each given one year.

If all those counties were literally thrown out, Colonel Oates would still be elected by safe and sure majority.
 In making these calculations we are not concediug any of the charges of fraud to be true. We gre merely showing to the rank and file of the Kolb party how utterly foolish it will be for them to allow them selves msed by the claims of the leaders. Even admitting their utmost accusations of fraud, the majority is still with the Democrats. Don't allow reckless and desperate leaders to get you into trouble.

The workingmen claim that the laws all favor the rich men and not the poor

A FEW of the more intelligent negroes in this section voted with the Democrats, but the mass of them voted for the straight Kolb ticket as far as they could remember the names.

PATRONIZE ALABAMA,

Joseph Bery and A. M. Underwood. exten- sve sugar planters of Franklin, La., are at the Monongahela House. They came to Pitts burg, they say. because the coal men here make practice of imposing upon them by furnishing them poor quality of coal while they pay for the best. They have been con- tracing and paying for First pool coal, and they have been receiving coal from the Fourth pool. They say many of the Southern plant CTS are cheated in this way. Coal is sold by the barrel in Louisiana and brings big price. These two planters together use 45 ,o01 barrels of coal year.-Pittsburg Dispatch
 The proper remedy of the Louisiana pur- chaser is to buy his coal in Alabama. He can rely on good article, and as the Ala bama dealers have offices and agents in New Orleans the planter is in immediate contact with the operator. A trip to Pitts burg is rather an expensive thing.
 Doubtless the Pittsburg coal operators have been driven to the illicit practice mentioned above by the fierce competition among themselves, which las brought prices below the living point. There is a warning in this for our own operators here at home to avoid cut-throat competition.

 2. The qualification of voters at the beat meetings or primaries shall be those pre- scribed by the state democratic executive committee, viz: ''Q.) All qualified electors who voted in the last national election for Cleveland and Stevenson. (2.) Those dem ocrats who would have voted for Cleveland and Stevenson in the last national election, but were prevented from so voting because they were not able to go to the polls. (3.)

 JAMES A. Ross, EsQ., editor of the National Freeman, paper printed in New York city, and chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Democratic Association. is candi- date for the Consul Generalship to Monro- via, Africa. His work in the campaign just ended in Alabama has been of a na- ture to prove his fealty to Democracy, and bis efforts were undoubtedly of benefit to the cause. He Is a Democrat and came to Alabama bearing testimonials of a high order. He will leave Alabama with testi- monals equally as strong as those he brought with him, as every candidate on the Democratic ticket from Governor down will unhesitatingly indorse him.
 DEBs says that the workingmen mus9 appeal to the ballot to right their wrongs. The workingmen can come nearer getting what they want by organizing and demand ing of the leading party that it pass their measures in return for their support. By thus holding the balance of power the labor party can accomplish much more than by trying to elect separate ticket. The history of the United States proves conciusively that only two great parties can exist in this country.

any overtures to that end have
come to us from other countries. When

that the attitude of the United States
toward the belligersnts in the present

WHEN Nathan Strauss, the New York
philanthropist, established his so-called
sterilized milk stations in that city and
declared his intention of selling milk
at a cent a glass it was predicted that
he would lose money through the ven-
ture. AS he had no desire to make
any money out of the project, he was
not deferred by the predictions of its
failure. The sales at those stations,
however, have now reached the large
figure of 6,oOo glasses and 3,70O bottles
of milk nay, and are increasing at
such rate that Mr.. Strauss has decid-
ed to erect permanent plant.

A very interesting incident took
place at the Ebbitt house. A youug
officer now attached to a ship at the
Brooklyn navy yard has been 81 Dping
at the hotel. When he came there he
appeared in sort of a daze, and 1T was
through the humanity of hack driver
that he reached the hotel at all. He at
once made break for the bar, ane
finally had to be assisted to bed,
After n sound sleep he came down
stairs with puzzled look on his face
and approached the clerk behind the
desk. The orchestra was playing in
the next room, and the brilliantly
lighted corridor was full of people. He
still wore the dazed look on his face,
and he approached the clerk in hesi-
tating manner and did not want to be
overheard apparently in what he was
going to say The clerk good natured-
ly stood over near the music so that
the sound of the young officers voice
would be drowned, but even he was
startled when the man said hoarsely:
What town am in?"
The clerk looked at him sharply, and
thought at first that the officer was
guying him. Accordingly he answered
in non-committal way:
What town do you think you are imp"
Again the puzzled look swept over
the face of the young officer, and he
said in an uncertain manner:
81 haven't the slightest idea"
The clerk saw his eye rowing around
the room as though in search of IA
miliar objects, and then seeing that
the fellow was really in the dark saie
kindly:
Where We're you last?"
''The last place l remember is New
York." said the lost one.
"How do you know you are not in
New York now?"
For an answer the man went down
in his pocket and pulled out roll OF
bills. Then he said:
Il have had a whole lot of drinks. /
have had several cab rides and a Turkish
bath, not to speak of a couple of meals,
and I still have that much money left.
This isn't New York"
| This was said in such positive man.

was and the officer at once set off to

A PECULIAR incident happened re-
Gently in connection with the rifle prac-
tice of New York regiment at the
New Jersey state camp at Sea Girt.
While one of the officers was firing at
target, three hundred yards away,
three black birds flew across the range,
and at the crack of the rifle one of the
birds fell. Upon examination it was
found that the bullet had gone through
the body of the bird, and, without devi-
alton, had buried itself in the center of
the target
