OUR GREAT TRIBUNE.

The great tribune of the people of Ala bama, John T. Morgan, will be in Birm- ingham this week, and on Tues- day he will address his fellow citizens on the political issues of the day. He comes to uphold the Democratic ticket, State and county. He is a Democrat of Democrats, loyal and true, a man who has carried the banner of Democracy in darker days than these and never faltered yet. He never will.
 "Morgan has cooked his goose 5y coming here to fight Kolb and uphold oates.''
 That's what the Populists say. Morgan -'has come here for the express purpose of helping to cook the Populist goose. And already we can smell the smoke of the cooking carcass of that maodorous fowl.
 The people all over the State are in duty to themselves bound to stand by Morgan and elect Legislature that will return him to the Senate. In that good deed the people of Jefferson county should bear the most conspicuous and effective part. Why?
 We have the same pride in him. the same ueed for him that all the ether people have. But we owe him a debt and duty that presses on us with peculiar force. He is the great champion and hope of the Nicaragua canal, and Jefferson county, next to Mobile, will reap the most bene- fit from that enterprise. It will confer on Alabama inconceivable advantage, on Bir- mingham an inexpressible glory of devel- opment and strength. The Jefferson county man who votes for the Populist nominees votes for Kolb,. Goodwyn or Bowman to supplant Morgan. While the election of the Democratic State ticket and of Democratic Senate is as certain as fate, it is possible that the control of the joint session of the Legislature may depend on the six votes from Jefferson. Hoar and his o-adjutors never agreed to help Kolb be Governor of Alabama. They don't care anything about that. What they are after is Legislature that will defeat Morgan. That is tho real point to which the Populists will direct their en- ergies. That is the point of attack. The control of the United States Senate may de- pend on one vote, and Populist from Ala bama would hand it over to the Repuoli- cans. That is the milk in this Hoar cocoa nut.
 For any lack of effort on the part of Jeff ferson county to result in Morgan 8 defeat would be a disgraceful thing. On this one issue, at least, business men, workingmen, professional men and corporations can all afford to unite, laying aside minor dis agreements and conflicting interests. Mor- gan and the Nicaragua Canal must be sus- tained by Jefferson county.

ate their trains, and any concerted scheme to prevent their obedience is conspiracy against the law. Judge Taft at Cincin- nati gave very clear insight into the re- ciprocal duties and obligations of the gov ernment and the corporations.
 We trust the time has not come when very many of the workingmen of this country are willing to go into the hands of the government and from thence into the courts, to be administered on as the rail- roads are. They are free born men and ought to seek to remain so. They are part and parcel of the great American people who are seeking, day by day and year by year, to regulate and control corporations in the interest of the whole people. They ought not to wish to become mere govern- ment machines, like private soldier who must obey any and every order or be shot. A citizenship that helps make the law, and helps enforce obedience thereto, is the proper sphere of the workingman, as it is of every body else.

WITH THE CHURCHES.

The members of the First Methodist church appreciate their pastor, Dr. J. c. Morris, and today they will welcome him back to b is pulpit, as he breaches his first sermon since his return from tou through Europe. The attendance today will no doubt be larger than usnal in honor of the doctor, and as an additional honor the music will be exceptionally good. Special solos will be rendered by accom- plished artists.

THE CITIZEN AND THE CORPORA
 TION.

Some orkingmen would thoughtlessly have the government take charge of labor as it does of capital. They think the gov- ernment should step in and secure to or ganized labor it's rights in all tho conten- tions and controversies which arise. Aside from the essential fact that the pretention is based on utterly erroneous ideas of the citizen's relation to the State, does not every sensible workingman know that if the government could be invoked to in- crease the wages of men it could also step in and decrease themf
 The State exerts sovereign power over railroads and has in reserve power to control all corporations. It regulates rates, requires the transmission of mails and troops and munitions of war. It com- pels one road to receive freight and passen- gers from another, to make connections at crossings, to stop at stations, to do what ever the law making power may conceive conducive to the public convenience and comfort and advantage. Exercising these powers of compulsion over the roads, the State is bound to protect the carrier in all its legitimate efforts to obey the laws. The law requires the common carriers to oper-

IMPOSSIBLE.

Debs' letter to the General Managers de- picted in eloquent and forcible terms the suffering and crime of his boycott, for which he is responsible first and the men who foolishly obeyed his orders second. On his own showing they were guilty of vast wrong upon the American people, in' nocent people against whom they had no grievance. In fact, the letter is the best written story we have seen that the boycott was great and successful crime against the public.
 It follows as a necessary sequence of the showing made in the letter that the rail- roads cannot accept the terms proposed for settlement. In getting new men to take the places of the boycotters they were obey ing the law requiring them to transmit mails, passengers and freight, and protect ing the public from the horrors of food famine and loss of their products. The men who took the places of the boycotters came to the rescue of the public. They
 will not be discharged to make places for men whom their own leader shows to have been inflicting untold damage on the coun- try. Public sentiment would not tolerate their discharge. At the same time public opinion will demand that the railroads do not raise the black flag against men led out l by false leaders and now willing to return | to work. That would be as reprehensible as the other. The roads may very properly | require that they withdraw from the Amer l ican Railway Union, but they should not | be boycotted. One boycott is as bad as | another.
 A settlement on Debs' basis is inpossi- 1 ble. It will all be settled without him.

6hey have given evidence that they won't
 fight the public, the innocent and unof- lending public. These orders are in the first place wisely led. In the second place, the members are intelligent men, who ap- preeiate the true relation of the highways of commerce to the public at large. Rail ways are common carriers, subject to legis- lative control, and every employe sustains a certain relation to the public. They are not mere servants of a corporation, but Of the people as well. This relation gives to their occupation a quasi public character, which the lower branches of the service do not seem to have felt. The engineers and conductors rose to a full appreciation of it, and the public will not cease to appreciate them.

COMING BACK.

The wool hat boys are coming back to their fathers house, and coming to stay. From the blue hills of old DeKalb, from the shining valleys of Etowah and from the grassy slopes of beautiful St. Clair, there comes the same story. The clarion voice of the peoples great tribune rang out clear and pure as of old and it's notes have thrilled the very air in three great coun- ties.
 They could not see that matchless pres- ence, hear those persuasive tones, think on that grand career, and vote for Peyton G. Bowman to supplant him.
 They could not sit beneath the melody of that voice and remember how it led them from the wilderness of reconstruction, and vote for Reuben F. Kolb to take his place in the Senate of this great country.
 They could not hold their little children up to shake the hand that never wearied in their defense, and go home to humiliate
 
 him with A. T. Goodwyn as his peer.
 They could not hear him tell of the one- armed hero of the Wilderness and of Get tysburg; of his strength and his courage and his honesty; of his homely origin and his great career, and then desert William c. Oates for the leadership of William H. Skaggs.
 They could not hear him recount the record of the old party of the fathers and recall the great names it has given to the glory and renown of Alabama; the party of Fitzpatrick and of Clanton and of Hous- ton, of Chiffon and of Lewis and o'Neal; theyeo,ldn t hear that and vote to put Jerry Fountain, George P.

1HE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The democracy of Alabama, in oonven ton assembled, reaffirm the principles of the democratic party as declared In the platform of our party at Chicago in 1892, and congratulate the country upon the suc- 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.
 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 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
  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 insugurated 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 a large majority of the states of this union, without regard to party, and intended to obtain at the ballot box full and free ex- precision of the popular will. We believe in giving it 8 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 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 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 cordial invitation to 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.

 THE LAW SPIRIT.

 ganized labor is in accord with the public. Both agree that the laborer has right to quit work whenever he chooses, and 10 stay quit as long as he chooses. Both agree that property must be protected from in- jury, and guards over property could be readily recruited from the ranks of striking workmen. On those two points and many others there is harmony.
 The difference comes in on the score of operating properties by other labor than that which has gone out. The public aud the law say railroad or mine or any em- ployer has right, which shall be pro- tected, to supply the places of strikers with other laborers; that crowds which in terfere with this right or with this labor, whether forcibly or by simply getting In the way or by jeers and insults and intimi- dation, are unlawful assemblies of law breakers and shall be dispersed.
 Experience and bistorv shorS that ora ganized labor on a strike never does accept this view, and in fact does exert itself forcibly to prevent other men taking the places which it has abandoned. Crowds of excited men never have and probably neverN will stand by and peaceably see other men take their jobs, law or no law.
 Hence right thcro is the irreconcilable d ference between the public and the law on one side, and strike on the other. We had recent illustration of this at Blocton, where the men have been on strike for three months and have been absolutely peaceable aud jaw abiding. They are per fectly willing and ready to protect the company's property, so long as it lies idle and no attempt is made to operate the mines with other labor. But what will the strikers do when that process begins, as begin it will at very early date? Will guards be needed or will they. not? It would certainly be very great triumph or the law spirit among those men if they should accept the inevitable peaceably and without the necessity of armed protection to new men. The prompt act of the Gov ernor in going to the protection Of one or two train employees down there, shows that the whole force of the State will be exerted to protect the company in resuming operations with new men. And the same is true of every other mine now idle. New labor will be pro- tected at all hazards. The law recognizes no distinction between men, and is just as much bound to protect what are called "scabso as-t would be 10 protect union men.
 We thus plainly state the law, and the duty and the purpose of the law officers, because the last effort at compromise of the mining strike seems to have failed, and the business of opening and operating mines with whatever labor can be secured will be resumed with vigor all along the line. The pablc will look anxiously to see whether tho law spirit among the miners will survive the strain of the con- tinuous supplanting process. There has been trouble enough.

read poem in her eyes;
 If could write it down The world would wreathe my brow With the laureate's gilded crown. For the tones of my harp would fill The sad old world with love, And the song would oft be sung Where the angels softly move. The light of the dews on Herman hill, Under the clearest moon; The shimmering tints of the Marechalneil At the dawn of a southern June Are harsh to the heavenly light That under those lashes lies; Are cold to the passionate glow That beams from her iathomless eyes. As dark and deep first starlight That mingles with the gloom; --=... As fresh as morn in wooded wolds, Where wild oZaleas bloom. Oh, that some muse would deign to give Me words to write it down! The world would wreathe my humble brow With the laureate's gilded crown.

 CLANToN, July 4.-The special from Clanton in reference to the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of the state vs. W. M. Headley, appearing under date of July 13, is an intentional misrspresen tation of the facts. The sole duty of the deputy so- licitor of Chiffon county is to prosecute misdemeanors before the county court. The defendant in the case above mentioned is charged with felony-obtaiuing money under false pretenses in the sum of S65, which places it beyond the jurisdiction of the county court. l appear as petitioner in behalf Of the prisoner, and not as pros- ecutor on my own affidavit, as your corre- spondent would have the public believe. The petition is addressed to the judge of the probate court, and not to the judge of the county court, and the e, cause i'e will be capacity, under section 4764 of the criminal code of Alabama. There was no question of ethics raised by any one, save your in- formant, who bears the reputation among those who know him well of 'tknowing little of ethics and nothing of law.'
