ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Alabama Incident.


Thus far the revolution of Reuben
kolb in Alabama tails to revolve.
He took the oath of office as COVER
nor before justice of the peace, but
his handful of followers made no
disturbance and cut no figure what
soever in the inauguration of Gov
ernor Oates. The Kolb incident was
purely farcical.
But, nevertheless, it may be that
Kolb has good ground for contest
ing the election of his opponent. In
that case his appeal lies to the courts
and he certainly has enough follow
ers to insure fair play for him there.
Revolutionary foolishness can only
end in ignominious failure. If Kolb
has been elected governor and has
been cheated out of the Office by
fraud, the courts will see that be has
Justice. If the courts were to con-
done such a crime as the theft of the
governorship the people would rise
at the next election and revolutionize
them. In this day and age COVER
norships cannot be stolen and the
people of Alabama will settle their
own affairs and settle them right.
The man who is entitled to the Office
will get it, if he hasn't it now.

The Tariff Bill.

At this writing the poor old tariff
bill is in about this position: The
House will not accept the Senate bill,
and the Senate will not accept the
House bill. Now the only change that
can take place must involve the sur
render of either the House or the
Senate.
It can be safely surmised that Nj
Cleveland will be able to prevent any
surrender on the part of the House,
and as the democratic Senators who
added the protection amendments to
the bill did so because of pressure
from the States they represent, il
would seem that they might be count
ed upon to stand firm, even if they
We're not strengthened by their hatred
of Mr.. Cleveland, not only because OF
the insulting manner in which he re-
fers to them in his letter, but also be-
cause of the manner in which he has
tried to boss his party in Congress
and succeeded too-from the day or
which he became President. Still, il
there is break in the lines of either
side, it is believed that it will be or
the part of the Senate.
The republicans are playing the
part of onlookers at the contest, but
they are by no means disinterested
On the contrary, they are so much in
terested that Senator Aldrich has
asked all impaired republican sena-
tors to be on hand and to remain
within call until the tariff is in some
way disposed of. The republicans
wish to accomplish one of two things

Again BoogS Brook

Readers of THE AMERICAN should
not mistake our criticism OF Alderman
Maddocks il the Boggy Brock road
matter as III the slightest degree a de-
Tense Of the road system Of Ellsworth;
it is utterly indefensible.
Our charge against this political
Poo Bah is that, contrary to law. to
custom, TO common courtesy, and
against the best interests of the city,
OF which he poses as a champion and
a defender. he deliberately and inten-
tionally sought to bring the city into
contempt.
Mr. Maddocks' efforts to secure for
the city better roads are highly com
mendaUle: the roads are thoroughly
bad. and under the existing system of
road making they always will be, but
We cannot approve of such round
about methods to get any road re-
paired as he took in the Boggy Brook
case
Under cover of legal technically
Alderman Maddocks undertook to
make the county commissioners a
fail with which to strike the road
commissioner. The scheme didn't
work, and hence Mr.. Maddocks'
frantic efforts to resolve our criticism
of his scheme into a defense of the
present road system-a thing we are
far from undertaking, as there is alb
solutely no defense for it.
What we are surprised at is that the
doughty alderman should expect such
a course to succeed, for he is not only
a hard fighter but usually an open
one; bushwhacking is not his element,
and we trust for his own sake that he
will not resort to the unmanly practice
again. He is held in high esteem by
a large number of EllsWorth's citi-
zens, and We should regret to see him
lose it; indeed, we hope he will gain.
Il this break results in his not
allowing his prejudice to run away
with his Judgment, the lesson will be
saiutary one. and in the hope that il
will. we offer him renewed assurances
of our distinguished consideration.

that can be done; otherwise to aid in
getting as many of the Senate amend
ments as possible in the bill that
finally gets through.
Mr.. Cleveland's alleged arguments
in favor of the sugar trust and of the
Whitney Nova Scotia coal syndicate,
in which all the world knows the
money of his closest personal and
political friends is heavily invested,
have greatly weakened his position
and added to the chances for non
action on the tariff bill.

The course viii close in February with
an evening with the humorist and imper
senator, Mr.. Charles Williams.
For each OF these artists the Kings
Daughters have valuable personal recon-
mendations. BY making arrangements
so far in advance it has been possible to
secure this talent at rates that enablet them
to offer course tickets for a sum that will
bring each entertainment lower han any
