PRINCE OF THE CANNlBAL ISLANDS.
A Young Man Who Will Come Into Possession
 of an Income of S2,O00,00 Year.

San Francisco Chronicle.
 The prince of the Bismarck archipel- ago has been in the city for nearly two weeks, and left for his home yesterday on the steamer Alameda. Although the young man is the most interesting char acter in the South seas, 1t is hardly to b6 wondered at that his identity was not learned while he was at the Palace ho- tel, for there he registered under his name, which is J. M Coe Forsayth. While here the prince drew on London for as many f500 remittances as his neces- sities required. He spent the money with generosity When he came to leave for his home quite a crowd gathered on the Oceanic dock to see him off. Among those present were members of the family of his grandfather. who was Jonas M. Coe, for many years consul of the United States at Samoa.
 The archipelago potentate will go through to Sydney on the steamer Ala meda. At Sydney the princess own schooner, the Three Cheeps, will be waiting to convey him to the Bismarck islands. spots on the ocean that his mother owns outright. The palm-covered isles are not far from New Guinea and New Britain. On the latter island is the real residence of Coe Forsayth, but he is on the other island much of his time.
 To look at the young man no one would suspect that he Is crown prince of the Cannibal islands and likely to be recog- nized as the only authority on the death of bis mother. There is only a trace of native blood in his veins, and his whole appearance Is that of a studious gentle man, more accustomed to European universities than to the wildness of jungle islands under the equator. It is true, though, that on the Bismarck archipel- ago are to be found about the only canni- bais in this world that the missionaries have allowed to go unconverted. While these natives eat each other they only indulge in this diet when the different tribes are at war. G.

z(Read by the author before the Ala hama Assembly at the Alabama home il Menteagle, Tenn.1 Alabama, Alabama,
 How we love to think of thee, On these delightful mountains
 Of thy sister, Tennessee. The butterflies by the waysde,
 That dance and dodge and fly: The varying hues of thy sunshine,
 And the deep blue of thy sky. a The carols of thy mocking birds,
 Perched in thy jasmine vines, Thy majestic magnolia trees,
 Thy moss-grown oaks and pines. In the shadows of thy twilight,
 The chirpings of thy katydid, Of all thy sacred memories
 That in thy name lie hid Thy sky is really no bluer,
 Nor thy flowers more subtIy sweet, Thy sunshine is really no brighter,
 Nor thy blessings more richly complete. But to us thou art dearest of all lands; The cause of the magical spell Is enfolded In that hallowed home
 Where we and our loved ones dwell. From babbling, prattling babyhood Thy sunlight hath kissed our lips, Hath chased away our sorrows,
 Scattered our path with cowslips. And now as thy grown up children,
 We meet together today, To honor esteem and to cherish
 Thyself and each other alway. As we have risen in this mountain,
 Above miaSma which threatens health May we eyer rise to what is noble.
 Unto thee and thy commonwealth.

just how things political would shape up in this state, but 1t is all over now. The democratic nomination on a platform which lost Kentucky Ohio. New Jersey, New York and Maryland has been given to Governor Oates The campaign for Senator Plgh's place has been called off and Capt Joseph F. Johnston forever re- tired from politics-and all of this ac- complished in two days and nights by the party and without objection. To gratify the Advertisers hatred towards Captain Johnston this whole affair has been unanimously done.
 Governor oates was required to say that he would not decline the nomination if rendered him. That precedent which has nearly always given 8 democratic governor a second term as an indorse- ment when he asked it was used to give Governor Oates a second term in spite of his preferences otherwise simply to pre- vent a certain other worthy democrat from being nominated. The democratic voters who go to make up the party in Alabama awaked yesterday morning to find that their self Reconstructed agent at Montgomery had arranged everything, and now they can plant fall crops, buy large stocks of goods. etc, as they have been generously relieved from the ha- rassiDg perplexities and loss of time at- tendant upon a political campaign. The fact that German has bossed the party in Maryland into minority by 15,000 serves only to move the boss at Mont gomery on to it's duty with renewed ener- gy-even accomplishing now in two days and nights what it used to require sever al months to accomplish.
 The democratic party can now bid adieu to all senatorial aspirants, to the silver question and to the only gentle man, who, as it appears from the Adver- tser, desires to be governor.

Governor Oates, Attentionl
The Huntsville Democrat says:

The Huntsville Democrat says:
 Governor Oates has an interesting nine page article on the Industrial Develop ment of the South" in the North Ameri- can Review for November. Of Madison county, Alabama, acknowledged by all well Informed persons to be the livest and most progressive county in north Ala bama, he has this little to say:
 Huntsville, in Madison county. is the largest town in the valley. It has @ large and profitable cotton factory and other important industries
 At the same time he devotes half page to the silent industries of Decatur.
 1'Now, in case our learned governor should write another article on the same or kindred subject, the Democrat desires to inform him that instead of one cotton factory, the city of Huntsville has three cotton factories that consume about 13,000 bales of cotton annually and running 4,- 481 spindles: that 1t has one of the largest furniture factories in the south; mann moth cotton seed oil mill, large spoke and handle factory, a fibre factory and a number of smaller industries. all in

Bankhead No Aspirant for Governor.

Says the Eutaw Whig and Observer.
 Congressman John H. Bankhead made Eutaw visit on Wednesday last, and was cordially received by a number of his friends and admirers. He stated that he would again be before the people of this district for oongress-that he was not an aspirant for gubernatorial honors. The colonel Is considered a strong man in congress and wields considerable polit- ical influence throughout the state While we differ with our representative on the f1nancial question, we must admit his honesty and consistency on this question. If he secures the nomination at the hands of the dsmooracy of the district in convention assembled, we will cheerfully support him, as we have heretofore done"

It Will Take Johnston to Unite the Part!
The Fort Payne Journal says:

The Fort Payne Journal says:
 "We desire further to state that Capt J. F. Johnston is very strong man with the rank and file of his party in this neck of the woods. They admire his liberality and conservatism. As the dem- ocratic nominee for governor in 1896 he would do more to unite the party here, in our humble opinion, than any one we know. This county was carried against him in 1894, but 1t will take a fast horse to capture the blue ribbon from him here in 1596 should he enter the lists. The captain is popular man with the masses in this section."

The following from the Alabama Fin quirer indicates that Governor Oates is standing for the senate:

Quit wrangling or Shut Up Shop.


 The Eutaw Whig and Observer very wisely remarks:
 "It does seem to us that there can scarcely be two opinions as to the neces- sity for harmony in democratic ranks and for once more uniting the white hosts who redeemed Alabama in 1874. Yet we find the leading democratic pa- pers of the state wrangling over the ad- mission of white men to democratic pri- maries. They are fighting each other on this and other issues as though they were sworn political enemies, and all the time protesting to be good democrats. Unless this policy is abandoned democracy had just about as well shut up shop and go out of business. A party whose leaders expend their time and energies in fight ing each other cannot and should not succeed"

Hon. ocie Kyle in the Race.

All Alabamians know Ocie Kyle Not a better, truer, abler young democrat ever represented Alabama in the legisla- ture. He is able, he is honest, he is wise. Morgan county has honored him once and will honor him again. Says the Ala bama Enquirer
 'It is said that Hon. O. Kyle of Deca- tur will certainly be in the race for the legislature, and at the proper time will make his announcement"

  mark comedies. but they advance noth- ing in the way of argument. The men who delivered them will be able to vote under the proposed law. It is not against such negroes that the measure is aimed"
 If the democrats appreciate the lessons they have lately received there is not the slightest reason why they should not re- turn to power again. The elections of 1894 and 1895 may look like Waterloos for the democracy, but the people may take it into their heads to turn the republi- cans down tomorrow as forcibly and wig orously. A party to win today must have some principles behind it and men who will carry them out.
 Believing that there is no danger of ne- gro rule again in Virginia. the Richmond State democratic, frankly says that thence there Is no excuse for fraud and violence in our elections" More virtuous in the next paragraph, it declares its op- position "to fraud and violence not only because they are wrong per SC, but be- cause they are in the highest degree de- moralizing" Therefore, eff the negro vote must be throttled. it were far better to do it by constitutional amendment than by pretending 10 give the negro the legal right to vote and then to cheat him out of it by fraud and violence"
 If Captain Johnston wants to be gov ernor as the Advertiser says, and is the only democrat in the state who does want the place. and the condition of the party demands that no contest be had for the place. why does that paper insist on Gov ernor Oates taking the place against his Will? The Advertiser admits that unless Governor Oates consents to become a candidate that Captain Johnston will have no opposition. It further says that the party cant afford contest for the ofice and 1t then demands of Governor Oates to become candidate. Is there man old enough to vote within the state of Alabama who can read the article copied elsewhere in this issue from the Advertiser and fail to see at once that that paper. actualIy&posing as the den1- ocratic party. would prefer to see every vestige of the party in this state sunk into eternity rather than see Captain Johnston elected governor.

 It is pleasant to know that Gen. John B. Gordon met with so cordial a recep- ton at Indianapolis. Elsewhere in the north the attendance at his lectures has not been so large as to warrant the be- lief that an extended northern tour would be profitable. General Gordon is addicted to those fowery periods charac- teristic of what is called the old school of southern oratory, but which, so far as we have learned by observation, Is still current and popular in our southern states. This style of oratory is by no means distasteful to us; it comes in grateful contrast to the bloodlessness of too many public speakers, whose efforts are as impotent to move humanity as tepid water is to excite emotion in the sensitive bosom of Shanghai outlets egg-Saturday's "Sharps and Flats" Col umn in Chicago Record.
