Scott on ''Our young men and their rela-
ton to the city of San Francisco"
-: Success in life was one of the main
features upon which Mr.. Scott dwelt
:. in addressing his large audience, and
naturally he spoke OF California as Offer
Ing. one of the finest of all fields for the
ambitious and Woodworking young man.
He strongly impressed upon his California
hearers, viewer. the value of economy,
and compared this with other countries to
show how much more that particular
virtue is cultivated abroad.
In France. for instance. when man oil
moderate means receives a package, he
carefully unties il and preserves beth the
string and the paper for future use. In
California such tTifles are thrown aside.

CAPTAIN KoLB TALKS.

Reuben r. Kolb is taking tour of the North and has received notice from the papers. To the New York correspondent of the Baltimore Sun he said:
 Business is improving in Alabama" '" he said. and if it continues to do so it may have some effect on the sentiments of the people on national political ques- tions-such as the silver question
 The price of iron has advanced $2.50 and, starting today, there is to be slight increase in the wages of coal miners. Give us better prices for cotton and there will be a revival of business that will make the people confented."
 But Kolb seems to have delivered him. self on the political outlook to some one, for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep) says:
 "Alabama's Kolb is safe in declaring that there will be no fusion between the Popuhsts and Republicans of his State in the future No such fusion will occur anywhere The Republicans have made a few deals of this sort in the South but they have gained nothing thereby, and never ought to have gained. Fortunate ly, the Populists have grown so weak, even in the South, that the Republicans will never be tempted to make any coali- tion with them"

THE cHAUrAUeUA MOVEMENT.

The Chautauqua movement has been one of the most successful ever started in this country. Originally founded on a religious basis, 1t has broadened until 1t embraces educational and moral pur- poses. It has It's branches in every civ iiized country in the world. Every sum- mer the Chautauqua meets at it's head quarters on d beautiful lake in the State of New York, and the time is devoted to study, as well as to recreation. Promi- nent men from all parts of the country are invited to deliver lectures on the their study The large amphitheater where these lectures are held will seat 10000 people. It is open on all sides and the seats rise in tiers. The people come and go as they feel inclined Ii takes a good tallier to hold their attention. The people who gather at the Chautauqua are from all walks of life, from the highest to the lowest. Ii is a democratic assembly everyone stands on his own merits, regardless of birth or position. A plan of study is mapped out and pursued by the members during the winter months. This serves to keep up the competition and human interest as seen in a univer- sty. By this method knowledge is pop ularized and thought quickened. The Southern Chautauqua now in session in Talladega is one of the most flourishing branches of the parent Chautauqua.

Practical Work of the Commercial Club and
 Industrial Association.
 Demopolis, July 5.-tSpecial Core spondence.)-A regular meeting or the Commercial and Industrial association was held this afternoon in the armory of the Rifles, President Robertson in the chair Considerable business of impor- tance was transacted, among the rest be- ing petition to the Postal Feiegrapn company asking them to extend their service to this point. It was stated by one of the members that letter had been received by one of our most profni- nent men from the superintendent of the Postal company stating that they were anxious to run their line to this place, and that they even then had men hgur- ing on it. The committee were requested to see the gentleman and get him to CO., operate with them in soliciting thls eh- teQpfiSe.
 A motion was also presented and car ried petitioning the Southern Express company to put their office nearer to the business portion of the city, and to give us also the benefit of free delivery, showing that such a movement on their part would clearly revert to their in- creased business as it was stated that many persons would now rather send parcels and money by madl than go to the trouble of walking to the freight de- pot where the express office is now situ- ated
 Other business of importance was transacted after which the meeting ad- journed.
 Work on the new bridge across the ravine which intersects Jackson street, has already commenced. The contract was given to Messrs. J. Beardslee x Son and could not have fallen into better hands. Mir. Beardslee is an experienced bridge man, having been engaged in the business nearly all his life. The prompt ness with which they went to work shows that they mean to get the work finished as soon as hammer and nails can accomplish it. This bridge will be a. very important improv vement in our business facilities, as we are now compelled to haul all of our freight over the dirt bridge, and in winter during the busiest sea son this road becomes blocked almost constantly, thereby impeding traffic very considerably.

 The Advertiser is sending out circu- lar letter to all of the papers asking them the following questions: Is your paper in favor of d law providing for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1?
 If not, is it in favor of the existing re- gime of gold standard, with the largest possible use of silver now coined, circu- lating on parity with gold?
 If your answer to either of these ques- tions does not cover your views fully, what does your paper favor as the wisest legislation for the party to recommend?
 In answer to these questions the E.x- press answers as follows: We favor bi- metalliSm, with gold as the accepted standerd, the parity to be adjusted to meet the demands of the times.

SAM JONES ON CURRENCY.

When Rev. Sam Jones delivered a lec- lure in Birmingham last spring he talked to representative of the Age-HeTald about the money question. He said that he had read Coins Financial School" and if the arguments used by the author were based on facts that he was inclined to favor free silver. Since then MT Jones has had the time to in- form himself more fully and has seen through the dangerous fallacies of Coin. He has now come out boldly for sound money, and his hardest blows are show cred upon the Hong ears of the free sill verites." Sam Jones travels a great deal, and meets many men of many minds. When he makes up his mind 1t is apt to be the most enlightened sentiment of the country. The fact that he was inclined to free silver aA the start, and was after ward converted from the error of his way. goes to prove the soundnesS of his conversion He himself has more faith in the genuineness of the conversion of a sinner than of a hypocrite. The further fact that Sam Jones professed sound money views after thorough investiga- lion of the reasons pro and con goes to show the rottenness of the reasons of inc free silverites and the soundness of tbe reasons of the sound money men. That MT. Jones once hesitated is no dis credit to him. Other men of equal lntel- lieence were at first carried away by the sophistry of the free silverites, but have on closer investigation become sound money men.

The little red cards that the Alabama Democratic Silver Club" is issuing in the hope of getting new members, contains inc following declaration of its princi- ples: "The purpose of the club shall be to advocate and maintain the Democrat ic doctrine of the free coinage Of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.' The doctrine of free coinage at the ratio or Is to r is not Democratic doctrine, but PopuIist principles The free silverites have stolen the livery of Popullsm to serve the devil in. No authoritative deola- ration of the Democratic party can be found declaring for the ratio of 16 to l. In fact, the National and State Conven- tions have voted down such a proposi- ton. Every official utterance of the par ty has been just the reverse of this falla- cious doctrine. When Congress repealed the purchasing clause of the sherman law it passed a resolution declaring it to be the policy of the Democratic party to maintain the parity of the two metals at any cost. MT. Cleveland has carried out the declaration of the Democratic Con- gress.

When the last State Fair was held in Birmingham the manager made arrange ments to have a Mexican bull fight. The affair leaked out, was published in the papers, and public opinion was so pro- nounced against such barbarous sport that the manager of the fair was forced to give 1t up. But the managers of the great Cotton States and International Exposition propose to do what State fair dared not do However, it is possi- ble that the Mexican bull fight at At lanta will be given as an object lesson for the Constitution-it can see the bar barous customs of a nation that it holds up as an example for the American naonle,

He had driven a paii of horses to the depot, hauling drum mer's trunk, and upon arriving there and ahghting one of the horses rubbed the bridle off on the breast tree. and MT. Caldwell caught the lines and in some way was thrown to the ground. The wheel struck him just over the left eye, and the hub of the buggy struck him in the side, and he received other bruises which rendered him unconscious for while and are yet very painful.

A free coinage organ asserts that the rapid rise in iron in 1879 was due to the passage of the Bland-Allison silver bill. Suppose this was true. then we must ad- init that the silver bill was disappoint- ing. The commercial classes were fooled by the silverites and thought that great prosperity was coming to the country. So iron jumped up. Then the silver bill didn't have the effect promised. and iron fell in 1880 from S43 ton to S23 The passage of the Sherman law, limiting the purchase of silver, shows that the silver bill didn't have the effect promised. The iron masters say they want no more jump and slump of iron as in 1879. They, prefer the steady increase in value un- der existing monetary conditions.

Perhaps some day the railroads will carry freight by mileage, as they do pas sengers. So much a ton per mile is the proper basis, Every town would then stand on it's merits. The present policy of the railroads is to favor the large cities. They give the same freight rate from Chicago to New Orleans that they do from Chicago to town half way to New Orleans. So long as the railroads pursue their present policy the large cities will be built up at the expense of the small towns. The great danger that threatens our country is the congestion of population in the cities
