CHRISTIAN uNITY.

Several of the ministers of Birmingham will preach Sunday on Christian unity. This coming Sunday is Whitsunday, and the suggestion that it be devoted to this subject comes from the Lambeth confer ence, and was embodied in a circular sent out to all ministers. The sugges- tion has been indorsed by many promi- nent priests and clergymen, both of the Catholic and Protestant faith. The cir cular requests Christian ministers in their sermons on Christian unity to direct attention to the good work of some branch of the church other than their own.
 If this suggestion is universally adopt ed it will have good effect in removing existing prejudice and promoting the spirit of Christian harmony. Each church has some good feature, and all the other churches can consistently in dorse that feature. The prejudice felt by one church toward another Is usually the result of ignorance. A man like Phillip Brooks, of broad and liberal cul- ture, indorses that which is good in all the churches.
 The organic union of all the Christian churches may be long way off, if it ever takes place, but that does not pre- vent the cultivation of a Christian spirit of charity. There are certain aims com mon to all the churches. and upon these there can be unity of action without giv ing up doctrines. All the churches be- lieve in the propagation of the gospel, in an observance of the Sabbath, in tenn perance, in good government, in moral ity, in purity, in whatsoever. is pure. in whatsoever is lovely in whatsoever is of good repute-upon these cardinal principles all can unite and work to a common end,

 Rev Winchester Donald in his sermon to the colored people here Sunday gave them excellent advice. Among other things he said that some Massachu- setts yankees had put it into the heads of great many dar<ies that they were equal and in some respects superior to the white people. He said that proo- ably they might think it ungentlemanly and discourteous In him to make such a remark, but as Massachusetts yankee himself and a friend to the colored peo- pie, he wanted to inform them that this was a mistake; that the Caucasian race had had hundreds of years the start and that the sooner they found out their inferiority the better for them He said when they had mastered any trade or profession better than the white man they would beat the white man, but not until then. He told them they should be polite and respectful towards the whites, and that a spirit of humility was no sign of cowardice. He said they could not expect legislation to improve their condition, but that they must in- prove it themselves.

THOMAS G. JONES.

II has been an accepted fact from time immemorial that worthiness alone is capable of understanding worth, and that only by truth can truth be guaged. A small and narrow mind is no more capable of judging rightly the actions of a great mind than a quart cup is capa- ble of holding gallon; but, obeying the tendency of the age there will always be found those who are willing to try men whose lives are small and whose souls are mean. and who strive to guage the actions of their fellow men, having in hand no rule but their own pettiness, and rendering judgment according as they would have acted had they been placed in a similar position.
 Accepting all this. it is pot surprising that there are voices raised in condem- nation of Hon. Thomas G. Jones for his declination of the office of brigadier- general rendered him by Governor Oates. When man has given the best years of his life to the service of his State, and at the end of long day of active work and untiring energy wishes to retire to private life and live out his days in the quiet of family life the humblest citizen may enjoy. it is scarcely creditable to those who lift up their voices and ascribe to him unworthy motives.
 Thomas G. Jones has been identified with military matters in Alabama for up- wards of twenty-one years. It Is we'll known fact that public life in Alabama is not remunerative. and twenty-one years in its active service cannot have left him in a position to survey the world from a free and easy standpoint. His critics should take all this into consider ation before seeking to impute to him motives so little creditable as the req sons they have assigned.
 Thomas G. Jones has served his people faithfully, and now let them acquiesce in the choice he has made-a choice which is the right of every free-born American citizen-to live out his life in retirement. remembering not so much the honors he might have had as the work he has done.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The sixteen-to-one advocates continue the cry for more money"-and their motto is quantity, not quality" It is generally admitted that we have in this country about S6500O0.0 900 in gold. Com- mon sense points to the fact that should the hints of this country be opened to the free, unconditional. independent and unlimited coinage of silver 1t would drive this gold from the Unted States to safer and more profitable fields of investment and leave us for a season minus 50 much of our circulating medium.
 The free-silver advocate who is wise enough to know and honest enough to admit the truth of this proposition makes answer that the deficiency would soon be made good by the substitution of G50, ,0O0, 900 new silver dollars, and thus the silver basis could be established without the curtailment of our volume of currency. The nathematicians have told us that it would require the steady operation of every mint in the United States. working day and night fifteen years. to coin 650,000,000 silver dollars In the meantime what are the people to do for money? Is not the proposition clear that the proposed free coinage plan would reduce rather than increase the currency?
 Again, under the cry of "more money wanted to do the business of the coun- try" the silverites show that the bank books exhibit an indebtedness to depos-
 tors in the United States of Sl2O0O0 00O,- 000 and that there is actually only about $2, 900, 000,0 900 of all kinds of American money; and many of them go so far as to urge that there should be an actual dol lar for every dollar represented on these bank books, without reference to checks. drafts, bills of exchange, evidences of credit and counter credits. With the present capacity of the American hints, it would require 176 years double turn to grind out so many dollars of the product of the silver mines. What is to be done for the relief of the people in the mean time?
 The free silver advocate comes to the people with the proposition that it would require silver payment from the foreign CT to purchase and draw from America the gold which we now hold. Not at all. Our own securities, national, State, mu- nicipal and railroad bonds, stocks and mortgages payable in gold and held by Europeans would come rapidly across the water and draw from us our S650, ,00O,- 900 of gold as rapidly as they mature, and much more rapidly than it would be pos sible to mint silver to take it's place.
 How much better it would be to let well enough alone; to continue on the present bimetallic basis; to preserve the value of each dollar of our currency by the strictest safeguard of sound national credit, and enjoy the incoming tide of prosperity.

THE FEDERAL COURTS.

It is well not to lose sight of the real point decided by the Supreme Court in the Debs case. The point at issue was whether the government was right last summer in resorting to the equity courts. In other words, the "Gatling- gun injunction" that was brought to bear on the Chicago rioters was put on trial The Supreme Court sustained the action of the lower court. This means that it was according to the law to try Debs and associates before a federal judge instead of before a jury of their countrymen. This savors of a denial of the right of trial by jury, and is some thing of a menace to individual liberty
 It goes to show how powerful the fed eral courts are getting to be. Debs said during the strike that his only fear was of the federal courts. Gompers said in his speech in Birmingham that the fed eral courts had construed the inter- state commerce law against the work ingmen. If the Republican party gets in power again 1t will use the federal courts to govern the people and per- petuate itself in power. This has always been the policy of the Republican party. It showed this plainly in its arbitrary

The upper half of the shield was of blue larkspur, studded with thirteen blossoms of the flower known as the Black-eyed Susan. to represent the original thirteen states. The lower portion of the shield was in three stripes, red, white and red, the red stripes being composed of deep red rosebuds, and the white stripe being composed of white daisies, with row of white rosebuds down the middle This shield was supported by staff arising from a base made of magnolias, tigris lilies. cape jassamines and coleus leaves and evergreens. Across the top of the shield was black ribbon bearing in letters of gilt this inscription: For Our Dead Comrades" On a white ribbon hanging across the top of the staff was this inscription in letters of gilt: From Post and Camp No. II, Mobile, Ala.," and
 this ribbon was tied with love knots of
 small red ribbon.

 idea of sending the design, and it was forwarded to Capt. Richard Sheridan.
