sumption is strong that it's verdict was made necessary by the evidence.-Spring- field Republican, Mug.
 In a dispatch from Washington giving an account of the caucus of southern re- publlcans on Thursday night, which was published in our columns the day follow ing, their crest-fallen appearance and woe-begone condition were graphically depicted. when they discovered that they were left out in the cold by their radical brethren of the north and of the west, one picking-not even 0 doorkeepership, in the organization of the house.-New Orleans Picayune.
 The democratic party has fallen on evil times indeed. But it Is not dead The organization that survived the hari-kari of 1860, the absurd campaigns of 1861 and 1868, the Greeley episode of 1872 and the two disorganizing administrations of Grover Cleveland was preserved for some all-wise, beneficent purpose Having un- loaded its bandersnatch and got rid of it's jub-jub birds, 1t will live again. As inn mortal as free government itself, it can- not die. = Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.
 Undoubtedly MT D. c. Benedict is very close and trusted friend of Presi- dent Cleveland, and his statement that the latter could not be persuaded under any circumstances to accept a nomna- tion for third term, were 1t to be ten- dered to him, is interesting so far as 1t goes. We have an idea that MT. Benedict has good reason for the faith that is in him, but we should prefer to hear from President Cleveland direct on the subject No doubt we shall in due time and on an appropriate occasion. - Boston Herald Dem.

THE Do-NoTHlNG POLICY.


 Speaker Reeds address indicates that the republican party will attempt very little during the present session. It does not propose to cut out work which 1t must defend in next years canvass. The New Orleans Times Democrat very cor reotiy observes:
 ",rhe policy of the republicans will be to do little, 10 pass only the most unex- eepiionahle acts and to throw the respon- siblity for their veto or defeat on the democra ts.- This is always very difficult ; but it must be said that it Is far more possible under an autocratic speaker ike Reed than almost any other man, especially with MT Reed a candidate for the presidency and anxious 10 make a record that will strengthen his party in the next campaign.
 "'fhe chances therefore, are for little legislation, an attempt st economy and q great deal of political figuring and speaking 1bont the end of the session. It will be a congress which while 1t may not grant the country the relief il needs, will not aggraVate the situation by ex- traVagapce or additional unfavorable legisla hon. It will take more than a week to organize and arrange the com mttees By the time fl is done, when we have heard from the president in his message from Mir. Reed and learned the chairmen of the more imporia ant commit. tees. 1t will he possible to predict with somewhat more dehniteness the trend of Iegisia ton but it is almost certain, from the peculiar political conditions that pre- vail. that there will be very little radical legislation in the session which opened VeSitfdaV." :"

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

At last a man has been found who ad- mits that he is not only passive and re- captive, but also an active and aggressive candidate for the presidency. His name is Coxey.-Cincinnati TimeS-Star, Rep.
 The friends of Secretary Carlisle pre- dict that his forthcoming report on the condition of the treasury will be "a mas terpiece of reasoning" Doubtless it will be. If MT. Carlisle could only run the treasury half as well as he writes about 1t he would be another Hamilton or a Gallatin.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Shake down your old stockings by the tip of the toe and send the gold to Uncle Sam, who pays all the express charges and pays full cash value. There is over $4O0 100000 of the precious metal hoarded somewhere in this country outside the treasury and the banks. Let it come out and circulate.-Boston Globe, Dem.
 President Harrison never claimed,' said a friend of that distinguished poli- tician, "any credit for the success of his administration as due to him personally" Certainly not. President Harrison's ad- ministration was successful principally in leaving depleted treasury and adding enormously to the public expenses.-Cin- cinnati Enquirer. Dem.
 Once upon a time there were great leaders in the republican party, just as there used to be in the democratic party. The last congress showed with the few est exceptions, perhaps, the absence of honest, capable and unselfish democratic leadership. This congress now upon us will determine whether the republicans are any better off in this important par ticular.-Baltimore Sun, Dem.
 pr. Parkhurst can shut his eyes as tightly as a police captain when he has a mind to. In his Thanksgiving sermon yesterday he glorified the enforcement of the "--meaning one law, in one city Dr. Parkhurst, of course, knows that there are dozen Sunday laws that the police do not pretend to enforce in this city, and that the law of which he speaks is enforced literally and rigorous ly in hardly any other city in the state.-- New York World. Dem.
 It is one of the basest and most cow ardly of acts to charge upon a child the offense committed by it's parents, and Dumas says that he did not escape from this in school. He had to thrash at least one boy every day for his sneers at his mother and father and sometimes sev- eral hoys together. The boy who fights for his mother is worth a good many boys who would insult anyones mother. Brooklyn Eagle, Dem.
 It Is now given out that Waller was not tYied by a court martial at all-that is by an impromptu military court made up If officers brought together for the pTrpose-but by a regularly established tribunal known as the permanent council of War This court is regular part Of the French judicial system. and it's pro- ccediUes are as carefully ordained by law as thcss of any court in the republic.

went to sea on the Olympia. and the Michigan battalion was instructed on board the Michigan. The Raleigh gave the naval brigade of Massachusetts an opportunity of two days instruction and for one battalion one days target prae- tice at sea. The torpedo boat Cushing attended the eneampment of the First Naval battalion of New York at Shelter island for three days. The naval militia organizations of New Jersey, Illinois and Rhode Island did not have an annual tour. As no ships were available in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, the organizations in those states went into camp and engaged in boat and shore line reconnaissance work.
 The naval militia is slowly. but surely. through natural evolutionary process. finding its best field as a factor in na- tional defense and as an auxiliary to the regular navy. Its main element of strength lies primarily in a fine personnel, marked by great patriotism, zeal, enthu- siasm and high degree of intelligence. They are composed of like material as our national guard militia and bear to the navy much the same relations as do
 
 to the army of the United States.
 It would be hard in any country to find finer body of physically and mentally well-developed young men than those in these organizations. It is no exaggera- ton to say that they are among the very best of our citizens. These organizations now eneircle our coast and seem as en- thusiastic in the great lakes region as on the seaboard. To make them efficient and of real service they must be kept in constant and stimulating touch with this department. Their general importance is admitted; it remains to fix their exact status as a navy or military organiza- ton.
 It is believed, however, that they will be of great value in aiding, as gunners, etc, to fight our ships of all classes that are in the regular navy, as we'll as man ming our reserve and auxiliary navy, Whatever may be the especial fields to which it shall eventually appear the na- tional militia may be best adapted, 1t need not be feared but that these young men will be ready for such service. 1x- perence has abundantly shown in the past that the American holiday soldier, as he is sometimes called, is generally a fighting soldier in time of war.
 The whole subject of the naval militia has been under the care of Assistant Secretary McAdoo, to whom the depart ment is much indebted for the zeal, fidel- ity and ability with which he has dis charged this, as he has all other duties given him in charge.

educational qualification exacted. He said that one of the most unjust meas ures of reconstruction was to force the white people of the south to educate their former slaves. Many of the south erners had been reduced by their four years struggle from affiuence to poverty, and to place upon these men such a tre- mendous burden was a great wrong. 1t was clearly the duty of the federal gov ernment. Another remarkable statement made by General Walker was that there were no men more unjustly maligned than the poor whites of the south. He had seen much of them during the war, and challenged any one who could ob- serve the fortitude with which they en- dured severest privations. their cheerful ness on long, forced marches, and their sublime courage in battle to say they were not men of surprising strength of character Since the war these same people have become the mainstay of the south. He pointed out that since the close of the war the southerners have undergone a most marked and welcome change of feeling, and as they were then the bitterest foes of the union, so they are now it's most ardent and enthusiastic supporters. To the south we must look rather than to the north for our great uafriOts !"

EUFAULA.
Death of Dr. s. A. Holt-Marriage of Miss
 Huddleston and MT. Tullis.


 Eufaula, Dec. 2-(Special Correspond e)-The death of Dr. s. A. Holt. which occurred on the 28th ultimo. just at the hour when Thanksgiving services were being held in the respective churches in the city, was a shock and great grief to the community. He was free from pain and resting comfortably" was the news that morning from his bedside; but death came suddenly and unexpectedly. He exclaimed to his wife. T am dying,' and ere she could get to him he was dead! His daughters, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Henley. are still here, the latter quite sick from the nervous excitement caused by the shock of her fathers death.
 Invitations are being issued for the marriage of Miss Bettie Huddleston to MT. Clayton Tullis to take place on the 17th instant. She is stepdaughter of MT. J. W. Huddleston, formerly of the large clothing house of Schoss & Hud- . dleston, and Is lovely young lady in person and manner. MT. Tullis is a part ner in the firm of Tullis & Co.,, hardware. and is one of the brides of the city as a business man. Both are to be sincerely congratulated on their choice.

 Circuit court is in session this week.

Will Take H is Medicine.

The Athens Democrat, a strong oppo- nent to the organized democracy, says:
 ''If Joe Johnston is the nominee of the organized next year the Montgomery Advertiser may apparently support him, but in our opinion the treatment Wat Hardin received from the Kentucky Clevelandites will not be a patching to what the old lady will do for the parti- san, Captain Johnston. If Joe Johnston is defeated, even as he was in 1894, for the nomination, he will meekly bow and suffer the corruption and trickery to pre- vail without a word of protest, because it takes such blindness to constitute a latter-day democrat of this state.

A Sigh for Spring.

I only wish and wish and wish that I could fish and fish. I'd like to sit the livelong day upon a bale of prairie hay, down where the river sadly walls, and fish for suckers and for whales. 'Tis shameful that on this free soil man must toll and toll. and grunt and sweat and groan, grow old and bald before his time in following up the festive dime An life would be a pleasant dream if one could sit beside stream, with rod in hand at early dawn, no comrade but his demjohn---to sit there in the drowsy shade--what higher bliss could mortal wish? Ah let us go and fish and fish, Selma Journal.

1rI.ADvlsFD SUFFRAGE.

The remarks about the south of Gen. Francis A. Walker. an eminent republi- can, a soldier of the war, who fought and was captured and confined in Libby prison, may cause some surprise in New England. The Hartford Times says:
 Gen Francis A. Walker. president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technolo' gy, in an address to the students of his sophomore class on the effects of the civil war upon American life. expressed the opinion that the immediate granting of suffrage to the freedmen after the war was ill-advised, as he believed there should have been both a property and an

Can't Stand It.

The young bachelor who edits the Union Springs Herald gives the following advice to young men:
 Young men, keep clear of calico if you would do anything great. Calico is a baneful institution. A pair of sweet lips, a pink waist and the pressure of a deli- cate hand will do as much to unhinge a man as the measles and the doctor S bill to boot"

If we owned a slave and he worked for us as faithfully as the postmasters of Montgomery and Mobile do for their master, we would soon be rich.

Not Cousistent.

"An attempt to accomplish this by the free coinage of silver at a ratio differ ing widely from actual relative values would be the signal for the complete de- parture of gold from our circulation, the immediate and large contraction of our circulating medium," etc.-G. Cleveland.
 But there might not be the necessity for such addition to the currency by new issues of bank circulation, as at first glance indicated. If we should be re- ]ieved from maintaining gold reserva- tion under conditions that constitute it the barometer ce our solvency, and if our treasury should no longer be the fool ish purveyor of gold for nations abroad, or for speculation and hoarding by our citizens a home, I should expect to see gold resume its natural and normal func- tions in the business affairs of the coun- try. and cease to be an object attracting the tlmid watch of the people and excit- ing their sensitive imaginations. ."-G. Cleveland.
 In other words, gold is not now in cir culation and free coinage would drive it out. This Is curious, but we suppose 1t must be so.
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-05


 The Memphis Commereial-Appe in speaking of the presidents message, says:
 "Nlr. Cleveland argues that our gold
 has heen driven out of the country by the Sherman act. We have the figures of the treasury department and inc sdi- rector of the mint showing that the eX- rort of gold began nearly two years De- fore the Sherman act was passed, ana
 has increased rather than diminished since it's repeal. No well-instructed fnan- cier pretends that gold is now going out of the country through any dlstrust or our currency. The causes are well known and have been too often stated to need repetition.
 bonds by private sale to the Rothschild- Morgan syndicate and refers to the re- fusal of congress to grant authority to sell bonds payable in terms in gold. The nlain answer to this is that the prices for which those bonds were sold by the syndicate shows that if was not neces- sary to make them so payable. The syndicate got and the government could have got as good a price for the bonds as if they had stipulated on their face that they should be paid in gold,
 prtpmpal and interest.
 MT CIeveland'S diseu Ssion of the ques- ton of silver coinage is not up to the standard set by the rest of the mes sage lie argues that because a limited purchase of silver, together with poli- cy studiously designed to discredit it, has not raised it's value to level with
 gold. free coinage would not do it. Buy ing silver from the lowest bidder and coining it on equal terms with gold are two such different propositions that it is idle to cite the result of the one to prove the effect of the other"
 Editor Lane of the Huntsville Tribune pretends to believe that "the gold bug democrats and republicans have got it in for Johnston" Of course the republicans are very uneasy that their little populist rabbit might be thrown in briar patch if Johnston Is defeated in the nomination, but real democrat gold bugs and silver advocates will stand square to the nom- inee of the party. Democrats see the importance of unity and the wise selec- ton of a candidate, and that differences be settled in the primaries, and not at the general election. MT. Lane and few others may approve a free use of the stiletto next year, but a large majority of the democrats are in faver of putting this
 historical weapon in the case or using it on the enemy.
