GOVERNOR JONES.

Governor Jones and the Executive Commit tee as well have had great many requests that he make speeches in this campaign, but so lar he has been so busily occupied with the preservation of order in Jefferson county that he has had no time to go the stump. But he will be foot-loose after the 9th instant, and hls services will be at the command of the State Committee. The public will remember his brilliant campaign two years ago. He made reputation for power on the stump second to no one in the State, and there is no doubt but that some speeches from him now would have marked effect for the upbuilding of Democracy Montgomery Advertiser. H
 Governor Jones is one of the most effect i've speakers in Alabama. His earnest- ness and honesty make a profound inn pression on any audience and the people always believe what he tells them. He is outspoken, has no concealment, ma
 no appeal to passion.n4r COZ ec3sion to prejudice and always points to the shining star of duty. It has been his fortune to be attacked and misrepresented and ques- tioned as no Governor Alabama has had. He has turned neither to the right nor the left, but gone straight to the mark of duty, and has brought the State safely through most perilous time. The people will gladly hear him and heed him.

1uns1I10H PLATFORM.

The democracy of Alabama, in conv5n- tion assembled, reaftirm theAprincjples oi the democratic party as declared in the platform of OUT party at Chicago in 1892, and congratulate the country upon the sue. cess of those principles in the triumphant election of Grover Cleveland, who, by his generous treatment of our people, has shown that he is the president of the whole country, knowing no north, no south, no east, no west.
 7 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- voton 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 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 G. Jones, who has SD 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 s. 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 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 a fair trial, and shouldit 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 to 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 cordial invitation to all voters of Alabama, who believe in the principles of democracy and are in favor oftbe maintenance of good government, to unite with us in the election of the ticket nominated by this convention.

HJALMAR HJoRTH BoYEsEN, the jejune writer, asserts that "Marcella'' IS the greatest English novel written since .Mid- dlemarch." It deals with vital things. It is taken, live and quivering, out of the heart of reality. It connects the individual life of the characters with the national life. Mrs. Ward introduces a character who was born and bred an anarchist. Marcella in- terests herself in this man, secures him a position and starts him on the right road. But he returns to the propagation of an- archy as hog returns to it's wallow. There is no hope for such man. They are ut terly indifferent to death, as was shown by Santos and his accomplice, who stabbed himself when discovered. Such men in this country, inbued as they are with the prin- ciples of anarchy that has come to them through generations, are a constant source of danger. Dr. Holmes was once asked: {: "When should the education of child be- gin?'' and replied: "A hundred years be- fore it is born.''

THE ATHENEUM,
The Catalogue out-An Excellent Fac ulty-Birmingham Must P atron-
 ize Her Own College.

The AGE HERALD has been favored by Dr. Palmer with copy of the catalogue of the East Lake atheneum. It is gotten up in good style and well illustrated. Itshows a steady increase in the patronage of this popular college for girls. Miss Elizabeth G. Clements is the presiding teacher in the litt rary department; Miss Louise Couch of Lynchburg, Va., is the musical director; Miss Minnie A. Morgan of Camden, Ala. has charge of vocal music; Miss Carrie Braun of Birmingham teaches violin and mandolin; MT. w. P. Parish, president and director of the Art league of Birlning- Aham, has charge of the art department; Miss Margaret Snyder of Birmingham has chSIge of typewriting and stenography. There<Hre several other teachers in the va rious departments, but only the principals are rAmed in this notice.
 Dr. Palmer has secured the services of Judge Arnold, Dr. Armstrong, Dr. Phil lips, Dr. McGaha, Hon. s. w. John, Dr. Macon, Dr. Davis, MT. Abbott and Dr. T. M. Allen to deliver @ series of lectures to the young ladies of the atheneum upon useful and popular subjects named in the catalogue. With such corps of teachers and lecturers, presided over by such schoolman as Dr. Palmer, the atheneum is doing work for our daughters that is each year more and more appreciated. East Lake is Birming hams educational suburb, and our people should take not only pride in this justly popular institu- tion, but should lend helping hand in extending it's patronage. It's enrolment the first year was 153. Their magnificent new brick and stone building can accom- modate over 200, one- fourth of whom may be boarding pupils. If Birmingham ex- poets prosperity she should patronize home institutions, and not send away so much money to make others rich. The atheneum should have fifty pupils from Birmingham. It offers fine facilities now for the thorough education of our daugh ters but with proper home patronage these facilities will be con stanty increased and the reputation of the school more generally known.

There are now 100, ,0OO government employees and if these should unite with the railroad men they would cast 1 1000 ,0OO votes.

The closing of the saloons at Birming- ham, Bessemer and Pratt City was wise preca uton against that undue excitement which leads to crime. It was hard on the saloon keepers, but as patriotic men they are making the best of it. The fellows who are kicking are those who want their accustomed drink and can't get it. A little experiment with total abstinence is not going to hurt them.
