 Hawaii. as distance goes in these days of rapid transit, is uncomfortably close to our shores, and nothing but the eXer- else of the greatest diligence. on the part of health authorities can prepset-the ap~ pearance of the disease at our Pacific ports. AS noted before, this is the first time that cholera has menaceI us from the West, and therefore the health au- thorties of that coast have not the ex- perience attained by those on the Eastern seaboard However, let us hope for the best.
 Incidentally, it would not be amiss if every city in the country put itself in thorough sanitary condition. The old law about the ounce of prevention never fails to hold good

cHrcAao AND THE SOUTH.

The visit of Mayor King and other prominent citizens of Atlanta to Chicago was the occasion for the interchange or strong sentiments of regard and admlra- ton. Chicago entertained her guests most royalty and sent them home with their ears burning with words or good will.
 The incident is deeply significant. II demonstrates that Chicago wants the friendship and trade of the South and will have it. Birmingham too, has occa- sion to know that the Lake City is par ticularly impressed with the Magic City and her capitalists are only awaiting op- portunity to invest in this district.
 With such an ally as Chicago the com mercial interests of the South will be -furthered and fostered as never before. She will be assured of equitable freight rates and of a helping hand at bad points of the road And on the other hand Chi cago will open vast and profitable ter ritory of trade. The alliance will be a most happy one.

MINISTER'S AND TOBACCO.

The other day fifteen young candidates for the Methodist ministry went before the Illinois conference at Jacksonville and were asked the question by Bishop Joyce:
 "Will you wholly abstain from the use oftobacco?" P
 The fifteen .solemnly and sincerely as- ssured the bishop they would.
 The incident has aroused discussion among ministers of the conference. Some claim that the bishop exceeded his author ity, in exacting the pledge in the form he used while others contend that it is a question provided by the discipline and the bishop was discharging his duty in propounding 1t.
 -s Unquestionably, the ministers of the Methodist church or any other church, for that matter, would be more attractive personally and perhaps brighter mentally if they abstained from the weed. But to the layman it will seem that the use of tobacco by the ministry is matter of conscience .sand personal privilege, ana there is just smack of tyranny Tn the t. ca non. againSt it.

AS TO INTERVENTION.

There is good. deal of wild talk afloat as to the recognition by this government of Cuban insurgents as belgerents. At present there is nothing to warrant such action. a.
 However, if the stories of atrocities committed by both sides are true. would not the United States and other powers be justified in intervening in the interest of humanity? According to report the war is being carried on in most barbor- ous and unciviHzed fashion. No quater is extended, and prisoners and non-com- batants, defenseless women and de- crepit men are often butchered in cold blood. What ever may be theA restric- tions of international law, the higher law demands that the struggle be conducted in accordance with the principles of civ iIized warfare.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

The play "Young Mrs. winthrop" soon to be presented by the best amateur tall ent. has never been published and is still in manuscript. The permission of the author was obtained for its produc- ton in Birmingham. The play had a remarkable run in New York. It is a society drama and is full of fine points.
 Sir Henry Irving has arrived in New York and is ready for his American tour. He has recently been knighted by Queen Victoria. He is the first actor to be kniehted, although others have been benighted. He entered the queens drawing room in usual morning suit, and kneeling before her she laid a sword on his shoulder and said, Arise, Sir Hen ry." That's all there was of it. He pre- fers to have his title left out in the pa pers. Miss Ellen Terry is his compan- ion. Their company will play in Atlanta between January 20 and %.

Senator Mills conversion to the true faith seems to have given greater offense 10 the silver advocates than that of any other former believer in the heresy, that seems for a time to dim the eye and dull the senses of those who have been lead off by sophistries such as are taught by Coin and others of his ilk.
 In his letter to the chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee Of Texas, among many other sound reasons, he said:
 Relieving that the silver standard would prove injurious to the people of the United States, and especially that part of them engaged in cotton growing I am unwilling to take any steps in ieg- islation calculated to imperil that great industry, upon which the welfare of my constituency SC. greatly depends"
 Senator Mills was brought to the con clusion which he so forcibly expresses in the above paragraph by actual re- suits. Six months ago the burden of the silver advocates song was: Cotton will never sell higher than cents and will probably go to 4 cents if the doctrine of free and unlimited coinage at the 16-to-l ratio fails of adoption.
 Yet, in face of this bold assertion. cot ton has steadily advanced, and the great probability is now that before January l. 1896. the farmer will be receiving 10

NEW DEMOCRACY.

 l have every motive for attending the conference at Birmingham. If that con ference will address itself to the recon struction of the democratic party in Ala bama and get rid of the alleged power of the executive committee to ostracise dem- ocrats who choose to follow principles rather than men, and leave a mans right to vote in a democratic primary to the precinct or ward in which he resides. to be finally adjudged a vitalized party that will live and grow instead of one that decreases in numbers and zeal, and must so decrease at every election.-Sen- ator Morgan's Letter.
 In our opinion the senator carries his ideas of home rule entirely too far. The result of such course would be a fight for the election machinery that would utter ly destroy all uniformity and conse- quently would breed disintegration. As an evidence of this, suppose the managers of certain precinct alloweS every man who presented a ticket to vote because he favored their candidate? Without an appeal there could be no fairness in such. primary election. The state democl atic executive committee is the proper author ity in such cases and will likely remain as such despite the contrary opinion of Senator Morgan.
 The test proposed by the senator would be an excellent gate for the populists to enter the primary but would they come back at the general election? This was evidently what the senator wanted, for later on he said:
 After 100 years of experience it is too late to bring in new definitions to as- certain who are democrats and who are not, and to make itsan infleXible test that a democrat refused to vote for some nominee of the party at a previous election
 It is not an 'infiexible test" but there must be some lines of demarcation, and what can be safer than the previous at titude' of the voter toward the demo- cratic party? The senator thinks David B. Hills copyrighted saying, T am 8 democrat" Is a sufficient test, but here in north Alabama we hear men calling themselves democrats who have not drawn a democratic breath for years. much less voted the ticket.
 The Mercury is as anxious to see the democratic party. enjoy healthy growth and increased strength as Senator Mor- gan or anyone else, but there are certain lines that must be observed in this work. If our populist friends are weary of their wanderings and want to return let them come through the long established gate way, the general election. Because man favors the free, independent and unlimited coinage of silver does not make him a democrat, and Senator Mor- gan must know it. By all means invite the erstwhile democrats to return to the party of their fathers, but their raiment at first must be sack cloth and ashes in- stead of purple and fine linen, as the venerable senator desires.

 "Gilmore's handsome Auditorium was opened last night for the regular sea son in the presence of very large and select audience with Charles H. 1ale's Newest Devils Auction" which was presented on a scale Of splendor seldom witnessed on the Philadelphia stage. The production does great credit to- MT. Yale's inventive genius. The scenery is remarkably handsome and the mechan- ical devices are series of wonderful surprises.
 ",rhe pallets are particularly beautiful knd contain much in the way of novelty. both in themes and costuming. Of the pallets, "On the Rialto," "The National Folly Dance" and the Queens and Fair ies of the Ballet will no doubt prove ex- tremely popular. The specially features are exceptionally good and serve to in troduce the Donazettas in a wonderful act; the five Salamonskys, who are mar vels of acrobatic agility, and the Freres Lorella, who are extraordinary panto- mimists and opponents of the black art.
 "Of the dramatic company MT. Chris Bruno still remains the best Toby the piece ever had. The character of Carlos was never better played than it is by pretty Mildred Holden.

 A great number of people have been complaining and discouraged so long that hardly anything will now satisfy them We heard a conversation this week between a planter and a business man. The latter gave as his opinion that the former would get cents per pound for cotton this fall. Flight cents." ex- claimed the planter. '1 can't afford to grow cotton for less than 10 cents" Now, this same farmer sold his cotton last year for 41s cents, and on the proceeds came nearer paying himself out of debt than he has been since the war. He has more stock on his farm and his farm is in bet ter condition now than it has been for many years. He's hard to satisfy. He's a silverloon. R. H. Adams, superln- tendent of the Decatur water works, is constantly looking after the condition of the property and improving the service.
