ANOTHER LETTER.

Governor Oates sends letter to the Mobile Register which should quiet that excitable organ, but we fear that it will not have soothing effect The governor shows the Register clearly that MT. Cleveland Is not a leader; that he has never blazed out a course for his party and that he has dickered with the civil service nonsense so far that about nine tenths of the office holders are now re- publicans and not democrats. Governor Oates does not say this in so many words, but his language is unmistakable. He says: "I said, too. last year in the campaign, which I have not said this year, that did not agree with him Qhe president) in his civil service views"
 The governor Says also that he did not agree with the president in his veto of the silver seigniorage bill, and that he did not agree with him as to the repeal of the sherman act without rehabitat- ing silver as money at it's commercial value.
 In short Governor Oates is for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at ratio which will keep the commercial value of the two metals at par. In this respect he and Captain Johnston agree. The only difference between them is that Cap tain Johnston, Senate Morgan and oth- CTS of their way of thinking believe that with the unlimited resources of the United States the very moment the gov ernment fixes the ratio at IS to 1 with unlimited coinage. that moment the value of silver in the markets of the world will go up to a parity with gold and remain there, whereas Governor Oates dstrusts the capacity of this gov eminent to elevate the value of silver so surely and ra pidly, and thinks that the rates should be based upon the pres ent commercial value of silver.

THE YOUNG rURKIsH PARTY.

There are in Paris a number of mem bers of the young Turkey party who dream of a liberal Turkey, and who have remained faithful to the ideas and gen. erous illusions of Midhat Pasha, writes the Paris correspondent of the London Times. These young Turks have just given public expression to the spirit that animates them in sort of manifesto ad- dressed to the civilized world The text is as follows:
 "It is apparently forgotten in Europe that there is in existence here young Turkey party which, since the promulga- tion of the Tanzimat, has never ceased to keep itself before the world It is this party, with Midhat Pasha as it's head, which dethroned, without shedding a drop of blood, Sultan Abdul Aziz, owing to his systematic opposition to this very Tanzmat and to all liberal reforms At the beginning of the reign of the present sultan an aStonished Europe was per mitted to see what clements of progress were to be found in the Ottoman parlia- ment, the growing prestige of which so frightened the sultan that he determined to suppress it. Since then we have been working quietly not to overturn the Os- man dynasty, which we consider to bel necessary for the maintenance of good order, but to propagate the idea of prog ress by the triumph of science, although the sultan recent concessions To the spirit of revolt are likely to convey the impression that demands moderate in reality as well as in form have no chance of success. Our aim being order and progress, we detest concessions obtained by violence. We ask for reforms, not for this or that province, but for the em- pire as a whole, not in favor of anyone nationality, but in favor of all, Ottomans. Jews. Christians and Mohammedans. We desire to advance in the path of civiliza- tion but above all we do not wish to ad- vance save by strengthening the Otto- man element. while respecting the gen eral conditions of Ottoman life We are eager to preserve the peculiar originality of our eastern civilization, and therefore to borrow from the west only the general results of it's scientific evolution, which are necessary to enlighten people aim ing at liberty. There are in Europe mo- ble-hearted men who, devoid of all theo- logico- political fanaticsm, aim only at the common welfare of both the west and the east. It is to them that we ap- peal to sustain with us the cause not of this or that religion, but of the whole people, which suffers from a system op- posed to modern ideas"

 Lincoln, Nov. 28.-(Special)-Mrs Har- den and her daughters, Misses Crockett and Isla, left today for Anniston, where they will in future reside. Our people regret to lose their companionship.
 Judge J. c. Wilson left for Atlanta last night, to be present at the bedside of a very sick daughter.
 There are no vacant houses in our town and three demands were made this week for one and the same house. This proves that we have contented citizenship A prosperous community, with good schools and churches, will necessarily produce contentment.
 The cotton crop has virtually been marketed at this place, and has aver aged over cents per pound. This is much better than our farmers expected.

THEY DoNY PAY SMALL CHECKS.

Reasons Why Some Business Houses Mail
 Trifling Amounts in Bills and Stamps.
 A seaside hotel proprietor, wishing to close his seasons account with one of the largest upholstering establishments in this city, wrote for his balance few days ago, requesting check for the $4.S2 that stood to his credit says the New York Herald. He was surprised the day following to receive a registered letter containing four $1 bills and sixteen 2-cent postage stamps.
 He made inquiries of his neighbors and learned that not only this particular bus mess house, but many others in New York city were in the habit of paying small amounts in cash rather than by checks.
 'The reason for mailing cash instead of checks in settlement of small accounts" said the manager of one of these houses in answer to my question. lis twofold. For one thing, our banks object to small checks. We have accounts only with big banks, doing a business of many hun dreds of thousands or millions year, and a mass of small checks would tend to bother them greatly. Some banks won't take accounts except with the under standing that small checks will not be drawn upon them, except occasionally.
 "The principal reason. though, is to guard us against the raising of checks.

tain Johnston is too slight and immates rial to cause breach in party lines. II is hardly probable that it will be a pracf tical question between them in the next six years. At present and for some yearf to come it win be simply with democrats a question how we can best enlarge the functions of silver as a basic money. Some of us have one view, some another. All desire bimetallism and none advocate a single gold standard per SC. But clear ly the great mass of our people favor equal coinage of gold and silver at a safe ratio based upon the commercial and money value of the two metals. On that common ground it appears to us that the friends of Captain Johnston, of Governor Oates, of MT. Kolb can all stand without warfare and hard feel ing, and that they can come together on such ground with the one common ob- ject of saving the state to the control of the white voters by a fair and honest vote. There may be shades of difference between us as to currency, as to civil service, as to the tariff. as to many other questions of government, but there ought to be no difference between us as to whether the white people should rule Alabama or whether we should turn our taxes and our property over to fusion in which the republican negroes will be the numerical and controlling element.
 Governor Oates is right and patriotic when he says that the whites cannot hold together to preserve their interests unless they respect the opinions of each other upon questions which. important in themselves are nothing to be com pared to the preservation of orderly gov ernment.

There is contest over the cheplaincy of the senate. A writer says: Milburn is brief and remarkably eloquent. The newspaper men actually gather to hear him pray. A good chaplain is hard to find, because the average clergyman in sists on following a method of prayer making that suits himself. Not many years ago there was chaplain of the house who became too much interested in the business of congress. He would ask the Almighty to steer certain meas ures of legislation in what he thought the right direction. About the Mills bill, in particular, he became excited, and in voked divine aid to maintain the wool schedule. and so to soften the hearts of republicans as to induce them to con- sent to a modification of the iron and steel schedules.

THE PROPER THING.
The Mobile Register says:

We thought we were doing the proper thing when we printed every day for a week the opinions of state papers as to the governorship and harmony in the party. We did not as some newspa pers do, select only the opinions which eX- pressed agreement with the ideas advo- cated by the Register. but tried to give an intelligent reflection of public senti- ment in this state. We regret this pro- cedure meets with the disapproval of the Birmingham State Herald."

In an article on the New Woman" the Methodist Herald concludes as fol- lows: "All things considered, there is little to fear from the new woman. Any how, some of these days she will have to divide attention with the new man. He, too, will be an improvement on the old man. As woman may with safety transcend in some directions the hereto fore conventional sphere of her duties, so in the new man may be found a large development of some qualities once too liable to be regarded as distinctive pos sessions of woman. Instead of looking for causes of apprehension in the devel- opment of the new woman, it might be we'll to see how we can hasten the rise of the new man."
