Birmingham and Chicago.
HOGAN.


 Under the above caption the Inter Ocean of Chicago says:
 "The enthusiastic welcome given by the citizens of Birmingham, Ala, to the Chicago men, directors of the great Worlds fair, heads of great banking, real estate, mercantile and manufacture ing firms and corporations, and distin- guished lawyers who accompanied Pres ident Fish of the Illinois Central to At- lanta, is acknowledged gratefully by the great city. that the guests honored by Birmingham represent. It was not part of the programme that the train should stop at Birmingham, but MT. Skaggs of the Southern and Northwestern Indus trial association prevailed upon MT Fish so to modify the original plans as to per init of a brief lay-over in the chief man. ufacturing town of the south.
 "The arrangement was fortunate. it allowed the most representative men of the southern Birmingham which within half century may surpass it's European namesake in population and in output of manufactures, to confer briefly with some of the most representative men of Chicago The courtesies extended We're not formal, but heartfelt. A longer stay will be made by Chicago on the return trip. It is inevitable that the business relations of Birmingham and Chicago shall be intimate, and 1t is pleasant to know that their social relations are to be enthusiastically cordial"

 Speaking of the other burned buildings, Mir.

Those who have not seen 1t cannot ap- preciate the magnitude of the migration from the northwest to the southwest. In a. single recent month the Kansas City, Springfield and Memphis road carried eighty-five carloads of household effects for farmers from Nebraska and western Iowa into the Ozark country. In single day at Doniphan. the seat of Ripley county, on the south Missouri border, a notary took the acknowledgment of more than twenty settlers from the north Into the vicinity of Lebanon. Laclede county, the home of Ex-Congressman Bland, there came in a period of three months this year over 200 families from the northwest. These are straws.

He Will N ot.

If Captain Johnston should be the only contestant for the governorship next year, and the Advertiser admits that he is the only probable one, then let Gov ernor Oates pursue the even tenor of his way in his race for senator and there will be no discords and dissensions to har- monize. Where is the sense in importun- ing the governor to run again thereby creating useless and damaging party di- vision, and lessening the governors chances for the senatorship, the heighth of his ambition? Governor don't you
 let the Advertiser fool you.-Russell Reg

The Fight Is On

Senator Harris, the chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of six, appointed at the Washington conference of last Au- gust to organize for the campaign of 1896 the free silver democrats of the country, has sent letter to his colleagues, the chief feature of which is the following.
 "In the light of recent election results there is in my opinion no hope of dem- ocratic success in 1896, unless we can succeed in so organizing the bimetallic democrats as to secure in the national convention a plain, distict and unmls- takable declaration In favor of the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold without regard to financial policies of any country, and therefore it appears to me that we should redouble our efforts to secure such organization"
 Senator Harris colleagues are Senator Jones of Arkansas. Senator Turpie of Indiana, Governor Stone of Missouri, Hon. William H. Henrichsen of Illinois and Casey Young of Tennessee.

Russia and the Turkish Question.

New Ork HeraIu, I3tn.
 Acco1 ding to a commercial cable dis patch from St, Petersburg which we pub fish this morning Lord Salisburv's Man sion House speech has produced an cleo tricai effect in the Russian capital. The electrical effect, as we understand it, seems to be the determination of Russia to be In readiness to occupy Armenia as soon as the dsinterested powers begin the projected work of dismembering the Ottoman empire. The threat of the pow CTS to send their warships through the Dardanelles will undoubtedly be met by Russia, whose fleet is stationed at the Black sea entrance of the BosphorUs, and who has large army under the shsdow of Mount Ararat ready to ad- vance westward at days notice.

Believes He Will Get There.

Capt. Joe Johnston, like the. true, loyal, unsefish and unswerving democrat he is, announces himself candidate for the office of governor next year. We be- lieve that he will be nominated by an overwhelming majority, if not by accla- nation. He is a democrat who favors the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and favors perfect freedom and fairness in elections. This, we think. will satisfy thousands of voters who have been es- tranged from the party in recent years and they will cordially support him. North Alabamian.

Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas is in Washington. He is a free coinage man and in speaking on the subject says
 For the campaign next year am une- quivocally in favor of nominating free silver candidates on a free silver plat form. The democratic party must make this fight sooner or later; the sooner the better. True. it may result in defeat. The outlook is not very promising just now any way it is viewed, but we had better go down battling for principle than to make an ignominious surrender. Bimetallism will win eventually; it is only a matter of education and time. and its success will come through the demo- cratic party. The republicans, in my opinion. will straddle the question in their platform. as they did in the Ohio state convention, and Allison will be their nominee for president"

The saddest thing can imagine is

The saddest thing I can imagine is a homeless man; one who has no abiding place; one who cannot stop without some one bidding him move on; for whom in all the earth there is no welcome resting place which he can call home and where love shares and softens his sorrows. Sadder than this is the houseless, home less soul. While you are planning for the body think of the soul Make provisions for it by accepting Gods merciful bounty for forgiveness and faith.-Rev. F. ID. Smiley

He Is Their Choice.

Joseph r. Johnston is a man who has made many sacrifices for harmony, he has conducted himself so as to have won the love of all true democrats, never putting his interests above that of his party;. the people have seen his loyalty tried, and found him true as steel. He is their choice and there is no power now to keep them from honoring him with the office of governor, if he will ac- .cept H.-ProgressiYe Age.

Dr. Rodriguez, a Cuban, residing in New Orleans contends that 1t Is the duty of the United States to interfere in the Cuban rebellion to protect American in terests, as 96 per cent of the trade of the island is with the United States. He cites as a precedent for armed interven- tion the course of England in Egypt, and the policy pursued at different times by other European nations.

ECHOES FROM THE STATE PRESS,

It is now practically settled that Cap- tain Joseph F. Johnston of Jefferson will be the next nominee of the democratic party in Alabama for governor It is also practically settled that Captain Johnston will be elected. This goes without say ing.
 Since the positive and emphatic decla- tion of Governor Oates that he would not bd a candidate for a second term and the announcement of Captain Johnston that he would be candidate to succeed Gov ernor Oates the press and the people alike have settled as one that Johnston will be nominated and elected.
 The most significant fact in connection with Captain Johnstons candidacy is the declaration of several strong admin istration newspapers for him, not the least of which are the Birmingham News, the ADniston Hot Blast and the Huntsville Argus, and even the Mobile Register and Mobile Herald, administra- ton papers also, are ready and willing to accept Captain Johnston.-Montgom- cry Journal.
 The State Herald authoritatively an nounceS Capt. Joe Johnston as a candi- date for governor. The formal announce ment has generally been expected. and it is a logical result of the present political situation in Alabama. .Genuine silver men in all portions of the state look to JOnnStOn as tnelr leaQer, ana regard nlfn as the strongest man for the position of democratic candidate for governor in the state.-Florence Times.
 Capt Joseph F. Johnston has an- nounced that he will be a candidate for governor. He has always stood by the action of the party and if there is man in Alabama who deserves anything at the hands of the democratic party that man is Captain JohnSton.-Colbert COun- ty Banner.
 We are for Joseph F. Johnston for next governor. A great many men favored oates in the campaign between him and Captain Johnston, thinking Oates want ed it for but one term, and they would have the opportunity of supporting John ston at the expiration of Oates term and we favor giving them the opportunity Colbert County Banner.

The announcement of the candidacy

The announcement of the candidacy of Capt. Joseph F. Johnston for governor will send thrill of joy through his thousands and thousands of friends throughout the length and breadth of the grand old commonwealth of Alabama. He is democrat tried and true, and is de- serving of the highest office in the gift of the people of this state, and we have no doubt that they will honor him with the position.-Hartselle Enquirer.

We are forced to the conclusion that the eagerness of the Advertiser and cer- tain other politicians to have Governor Oates renomiuated is not so much for the purpose of Saving the party" as for defeating Joe Johnston or any other sill yer man that might apply.-Randolph Leader.
