Birmingham age-herald., 1894-12-02

A BILL is pending before the Legislature to give county judges concurrent jurisdic- tion with circuit court judges. Itis claimed that this will prevent 1ynching, as the county judge can sit at once on the case and not wait until tho regular session of the circuit court. The bill will not apply to Jefferson county, as the office of county judge was abolished when the criminal court was inaus urated, and then the neces- sity does not exist, for the criminal court is in session all the time except in mid summer. 1The idea of a quick trial en- bodied in the bill is open to the objection that justice is rarely administered properly too soon after a crime. During the war Alabama had similar law. In case of an instruction among the negroes. {" bob. tail' court was called at once for their trial. |. This court consisted of the probate judge and two justices of the peace. The de- cisious of these "bob- tail'' courts were sometimes more swift than just.

THINGS DRAMATIC.
"PECK'S BAD BOY. .u

The "Bad Boy' is due at O'Brien' 's Tuesday at matinee and night. The com pany is composed of jolly crew who make no end of fun for all who favor them with a visit. This is new combination with m old name and it keeps strictly abreast of the times by introducing new specialties and inventing new business.
 The Austin (Tex.) Statesman says of the play: "Peck's Bad Boy" frisked around the stage at the opera house last night to the intense delight of the large audience present. In truth the reception given the company last night was rather h the form of an ovation. The different speciality numbers received frequent applause and many recalls. Much or the tougher parts of the old play have been eliminated and the show has sobered down to clean, enjoy able three hours of innocent amusement. There is clever company in charge aud they rounded out the situations in the most acceptable manner. The singing by the different members of the company is deserving of special mention, and it added most materially to the success attendant on the perfOrmauce,

The democrats can smell negro a mile away and will have nothing to do with him. A man who would buy your vote would hire you to burn house. The democratic record has always been in the way of progress, and the democrats have always favored slavery. The democratic party was fostered by slavery and retained itself in power by ball. lot box stuffing. I hate the democratic party, you hate it, all good men despise it. I'll tell you why am in Alabama tonight. The democrats know me and fear me. Every community where there has ever been lynching democratic sentiment is dominant. The democratic party is party of iynchers.

A BIRMINGHAM WHEEL.

All Alabama lovers Of cycling will be glad to know of the splendid record made ou wheel manufactured right here in Birmingham which was ridden by Mir. J. Fleck in the twelve mile handicap race on Thanksgiving day. There is scarcely a doubt but that the rider of this wheel would have captured first prize had it not been for the fact that on Monday preceding the race, while training, he had fall from which he had not fully recovered on the day of the race. As it was, he was beaten by only a wheels length, making the run in 36:46. He rode the iron City bicycle, made .py MT. R. P. Safley, man. ager of Iron City Cycle company of this city, the scale weight of the wheel being p pounds.
 Mir. Safley is prominent in Birming ham athletic circles and his many friends con- gratulate him on the record of that flying wheel, the product of his own handiwork.

It is a strong rural comedy drama, opening with realistic scene of New England life, showing Skin- ner tavern, with Uncle Josh's wild briar farm in the distance. The play progresses, , abounding with interesting situations, 1, until the climax is reached in the third act, when a human being is helplessly bound to log to be cut in twain by a mammoth buzz saw, and is only saved by the timely arrival of Uncle Josh.

ON yesterday, in the person of MT. J. K. Jackson, there was sworn into office at Montgomery the youngest Secretary of State in this Union. h the Democratic convention last May Mir. Jackson was paid the very high compliment of being nomi- mated on the first ballot, although there were four names before the convention for this office; and In the general election last August he received the next highest vote that was cast for any man on the State ticket. Mr. Jackson is a man of pleasa t address, never forgetting that "public of- flee is a public trust,' and has such marked executive ability that this high md responsible trust will be efficiently ad- ministered during his term.

THE term of the Mayor should be ex- tended. It is folly to plunge the city into a political turmoil every two years. The city charter should be amended so that the Mayor elected next Tuesday shall serve for three years, and after his term expires then the Mayors term shall be for four years. Three years from date will throw the next election into 1897, which is an off year, and every four years after that will be an off year. The municipal election should be separated as widely as possible from all other elections.

 DEMOCRATS, AWAKE TO DUTY.

To the Age-Herald:
 CT know what the democrats are from Maine to Texas. They are ballot-b box suffers and thieves. 1 hate the democratic party, you hate it and all good men despise it. I'll tell you why 1 am in Alabama to- night; the democrats know me and fear me.p
 The above paragraph is from the in- cendiary speech at a VanHoose- Reform Moseley meeting at the wigwam some days since by the negro preacher, Doyle, im- ported for the occasion from another state. This was doubtless the first time in his life that he Lad full and free opportunity to vent his long, pent-up spleen and hatred to an audience of intelligent, high bred gen. tlemen, and well did he avail himself of the privilege accorded him to tell them that they were thieves and ballot box suffers, and that even while his reverend soul was literally boiling with demoniac hatred to- wards the white men to whom he was speaking, and he made no distinction be- tween Warnock and VanHoose democrats, but all democrats who are so unfortu- nate as to have white skins and straight hair came in for share of his rilification. 1 can we'll imagine what a nauseating dose the speech Of this rev erend sanderer was to the white portion of his audiences; but to Moseey and his ne- groes it was a toothsome feast, as it was pleasant reminder to them or reconstruc- tion times in Alabama, when the republi- can party, composed of negroes, carpet DaBRers ana uupflnclpied ScalaWagS, misruled and financially wrecked the state government. Every man in Alabama wh has gray hair in his head remembers the political conditions at that time. Remem- Der those terrible years of prof igacy in Legislation and corruption in all the de. partments of state and county government.
 Brother democrat, awake to your duty to your party, to your state. to your city, to yourselves. Come together. Division and dissension in the democratic party, such as confronts us at this time in this city, will only result in restoring to power those who were expelled after so desperate struggle in 1874, when the immortal Houston led the democratic party to vie. tory and rescued the state government from the hands of the republican party. which for ten long years they misruled and despoiled, and left us sad reminder of their misdeeds, an empty treasury and q state debt of s32, ,O0O, GOO.
