The Hardship ON the other Side.

From the New York Evening Post.
In the discussion over the Dana-Noyes
affair, public attention has been fixed al
most exclusively on the hardship that
would be inflicted on the editor in having
to be tried for criminal libel at distance
from his home. But the hardship of the
libeled person in having to seek redress at
a distance from his home has received but
little notice, and yet this is the more i'm
portant matter. Opinions like Judge Coo
leys. quoted by the Herald yesterday, over
look too, the great changes which have
come over the press since the law of libel
sprang up and became important. In the
beginning of the century New York paper
would not circulate fifty miles from New
York. 1t is now read five hundred miles
away on the same day. 1t is delivered in
Washington in the same forenoon. More
over, the system of Geographic correspond
ence exposes persons living in any part Of
the Union to New York libels, it may be of
the most dastardly character. such as that
which the other day accused the Connecti-
cut clergyman's daughter Of eloping. More

BIGGEST AND BEST SHOW ON EARTH.
Sells Brothers Great Three-Ring Circus and
 Mammoth Menagerie.

"The times change, and we have changed with them," said the Roman phi losopher. It may also be said that these changes are not always for the better, and often bring retrogression and decay; and this Is particularly true of the cir GUS of today. In fact, since the great ringmaster, Death, gave Adam Fore paugh and P. T. Barnum their final cues, it may be remarked that but one truly great and legitimate circus remains, that of Sells Brothers, which is to exhibit in Birmingham today. The only big tented exhibition that will visit the city this sea- son, introducing grand trlpple ring cir GUS, hippodrome races, mammoth menag- erie, two elevated theater stages, Aus tralian aviary. Arabian caravan, tropi- cal aquarium, spectacular pageants, trans-Pacific wild beast exhibit and free street parade. Sells Brothers present more than abundant feast of everything which appertains to the most popular entertainments. In exclusive features, such as their monster pair of hippopo- tamil whole flock of ostriches, trained seals and sea fiona and host of the rare curiosities too numerous to mention com pletes a wonderful performance. The Sells Brothers big enterprise has been under one and the same management for a longer period than any other in eX- istence, being now in its twenty-fourth prosperous year. No person can afford to miss the big show of the world. Grand street parade at 10 a. p1., on the day of the exhibition. Special excursion rates on all lines of travel.

WILL LET THEM KNOW.

There is an intimation that Colonel Bankhead wants to be Governor. May be so. But If we could reach his ear we would suggest that he had best hold to that Congressional teat as long as possible. It may not be sure thing. perhaps is not, but it must be much surer than a race for a gubernatorial chair. The Eagle Bird had best keep his eye on Washington.--Eufaul Times,
 What is known as the single gold stand ard papers in Alabama have been for some time engaged in an effort to ere ate the impression that Col. J. H. Bank head was really aspiring to the Governor ship next year. It has also been sug- gested that MT. Bankhead was posing for the Senatorial seat now occupied by Sen ator Pugh. However, Colonel Bankhead said recently that when he wanted office at the hands of the people he would ask for it; or, in other words, that he will consult his friends and not his political opponents whenever he desires political honors. As a diversion the public may now begin to watch the contest between Colonel Bankhead and MT. Clarke on the financial question.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

That was cheering Democratic news which came from Indiana. In the munic- ipal election in Indianapolis on Tuesday last the Republicans suffered the heaviest defeat in the history of the city, the Dem- ocratic candidate for Mayor being elected Inv about 4OOO plurality and the balance of the ticket by about 32oO. Two years ago the Republicans carried the city by oloo' and last year in the State election the city went Republican by 2479. This change or 65OO votes in favor of the Democracy IS good forecast for next year. and indicates that the party is already pulling itself together in great shape for the national election a year hence. Just now it is safe to give odds that Indiana's electoral vote will be cast for the next Democratic can didate for President.

A GRAPHIC PICTURE.
Henry Watterson Before the Grand Army
 of the Republic.

Washington Post.
 Albert D. Shaw, one of the delegates at-large from the state of New York to the late national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. has been writing some interesting descriptive let ters to the Watertown Standard. Of Mir. Wattersons address of welcome MT. Shaw says:
 "The event of the day and of the en- campment followed. the noble address of Henry Watterson. The scene was unque and inspiring. The representative dele gates of the veterans of the union were before him. The dead past of slavery and rebellion was behind him. Stalwart in form, splendid in boise and action, polished as an orator, and grand in his imperal bearing, Watterson faced an historic audience, fully conscious of the great occasion and proudly equal to its demands. In voice clear and reson- ant and full of emotion, he spoke.
 "When the famous Kentuckian came to the front of the stage tremendous cheer ing greeted him. The air was surcharged with patriotic fire at the time from the songs that had been sung. and the poems Riley had rendered in such charming way. Watterson is striking in appear ance, and in many respects reminds one of Roscoe Conkling. His fine head is well set upon broad shoulders, and his athletic
 
 bined with the piercing eye and noble features, unite in presence at once man. ly and commanding. As he stood before the veterans representing every state of the union in war days, in the splendor of ripened manhood and the grandeur of an American patriot, his appearance called forth the intensest feeling. His speech was equal to the demands of the hour. and will live in history as master piece of patriotic ofatory. I shall never forget the picture of Wattersoh as he fsUHa Erss srYrs end seroc % n wss se Re the visitors of the greatest civil war of the world with dignity worthy of the occasion. His sentences were ringing and musical. and his words thrilled and captivated his hearers.
 ''He knew that he was making a speech that all Americans would read and cher ish and one that could not fail to make an enduring impression upon the nation. He was to raise @ monument of love above the sentiment of hate. and bind

A HEAVY COAL TRADE.
The Demand for Iron Also Good-The 0xmoor
 Furnace Will Be Lighted Next Week.

Tn conversation with State Herald re- porter yesterday General Manager Me- Cormack of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company said the coal trade was fine, and that the present output of coal by the Tennessee company was the largest in the history of the company.
 The export trade is also good. A 2500 ton order has just been completed by the Tennessee company and they have com menced to fill another for the same amount.
 The Iron Market.
 The demand for iron is good, and no re- action is noticeable in the market. The price remains firm and orders are plen- tiful.
 One of the Oxmoor furnaces will be lighted up one day next week. It has been overhauied and thoroughly repaired and when blown in will be one of the best equipped charcoal furnaces in the coun- try.
 The idle furnace at Bessemer is being refined and will be ready to go in blast about the 10th of November. It has been idle several weeks for repairs.

former sections into lasting fellowship, sympathy and affection. His emotion was profound, and as he closed in tears he covered his face with his folded arms as if to shut cut the wild chaos of mem ories of war and blood, and to let in yis- ions of blessed love and peace for a great peoples happy and united future. He swung wide open the gate way of the south on hinges of love to northern hearts, and bade them welcome forever When he turned away at the close the veterans rose in body and cheered and cheered, while there was not a dry eye in the audience. Grasping Mrs. John A. Logans hand, the orator and widow stood as a picture of reconciliation and rejoicing-a subject for some great artist of the future.
 "watterson's oratlon will be held among the treasures of American orato- ry and to hear it was rich payment Tor a long journey in the heat and dust. It was Miltonic in it's eloquence.
 AS sat in tears before this brilliant Ken tuekian during this great speech my mind carried me back to the brutal war days: to battlefelds red with blood and covered with wounded and dying mem to marches amid conditions of sacrifice and sorrow almost overwhelming in their agony; to homes made desolate py the terrors and travail of war, and erred out in my soul, Why could not such as wat terson many times multiplied before the war, have been as wise and brave as he was thirty years after the cruel conflict and through ChriSt-like charity and love saved the holocaust of four years or blood and tears. Gods ways are above mans ways, and in the unfolding or hu- man history the backsight teaches how costly the lack of wise forethought Is to individuals and to nations. Waiter sons speech deserves to be hung on the walls of every school house in the land.

HE NEVER CARRIED A GUN.
Was a Western Adventurer and Learned Better
 Judgment Over on the Plains

1T have never carried a guE," said the stranger in the hotel lobby, and the wis dom of this precaution has several times impressed itself upon my judgment Par ticularly was this the case in certain instance of my experience. It was many years ago, when I was one of the count less adventures on the western plains. I had not been in the country long enough to become acquainted with the friendy and unfriendly tribes of Indians
 I knew that an Indian was an Indian in those days of rude western civilization that is, I believed that all Indians were hostile to the white race. On this occa- sion I was journeying across the plains alone and had stopped for my monday repast When I was on the point of mounting my broncho after lunch I was startled by the sudden appearance of a tribe of Shawnees. If I had been armed at the time I would have opened fire on them out of sheer fright. As there was no place to hide and no means of escape except by the back of my jaded broncho I sat still and was astounded when they passed me without molestaton, merely offering each in turn as they passed a friendly salutation. Since that time I made a firm resolution never to carry a pistol and have rigidly observed it."

MT. William H. Miller, postmaster at Pell City, writes the State Herald as follows:
 Some days ago I wrote the Atlanta Consultation and suggested that we have a day known as postmasters' day at the exposition N The Constitution has indorsed my suggestions.
 Can't you say something in your Yaiua- ble paper tending to bring about such an important occasion?"
 The State Herald fully indorses the suggestion of Postmaster Miller. We think 1t would be capital idea to have a postmasters' day. We think it would be beneficial to the exposition and to the postmasters. The State Herald fa- vors the proposition, and is willing to lend a helping hand. If it be determined to have such day at the exposition 1t will be among the greatest days of the great show. .u

 To all lovers Of literature the death Of Professor. Boyesen is a distinct loss Although Professor Boyesen was Nor wegian, he. rapidly imbibed American ideas after becoming a resident of this country. His literary writings display a broad culture, a love for the truth, felicitous expression. His last contribu- ton to literature is contained in one of the October magazines. He severely ,eriticises those novelists of today who look upon life as "a sordid reality" and who deal with the improbable and the horrible. He points out Rider Haggard's s She as a book that is totally at vari- ance with the real life. How can wo- man be an irresistible charmer at 5000 years of age He instances George Eliot Thackeray. Tolstoi, etc., as novelists who have grasped the true meaning of life and have portrayed it in books that will never die.

POPULAR INTEREST WILL BE IN-
 TENSE.

Speaking of the movement to shorten the next Presidential campaign the Prov idepce Journal has the following to sayi
 Whatever becomes of the movement to shorten the next Presidential campaign, nothing is going to prevent the taking of ar intense popular interest in 1t at an even earlier date than usual. Already the subject is one to which the public is evil dently beginning to give more than cas- ual attention, and by the early part of the new year the tide of discussion and spec ulation will probably be in full course. The reason is not that the people are in- tensely interested in its outcome as di- rectly affecting them, but that 1t Is, hs now appears. an unusually interesting campaign because of the exceptional un. certainty regarding the issues and can- didates and the exceptional opportunity thus given for attractive speculation.

The Brewton Standard Gauge appoints the Mobile Register to write the obituary of the silver craze. "The Mobile Register is hereby appointed committee of one to write a suitable obituary to the silver craze, which it pronounced dead few weeks ago."
 In another part of the paper it points | out those who are hunting for this lost confidence: "Headland comes up with two failures in one day this week. The mourners' bench here was filled with drummers, some of whom employed coun- sel and went to Headland."
 The editor of the Baldwin Times has the right conception of true democracy and the proper way to reform any polit- ical party: True democracy is the foe of monopoly and opposed to ring rule and political bossiSm. No man should de- sert his party in the hour of danger. | Rings and political tricksters can and should be weeded out by reforms that come from within.
 The Cullman Tribune approves the | State Herald's conciliatory policy. It says: It is sincerely hoped by all true | democrats that the conciliatory policy | of the new State Herald of Birmingham | Twill have the effect of healing the breach which silver discussion has made in the | democratic ranks, and that whatever is called for year hence by a majority of
 the party, the entire party will be a unit l in supporting.
