Senators Morgan and Pugh will open their canvass of the state in Tuskaloosa Appointments for several speeches by them appear in this issue of the State Herald. That these distinguished Ala bamians and true representatives of the people will have good audiences goes without saying. The State Herald trusts that they may make an appointment for Birmingham while they are in the state. The Magic City would appreciate an opportunity to hear them discuss the i'm portant question with which they intend to deal in this canvass.

The Washington Post published a statement based upon information said to have been received from the highest authority, that the United States is pre- pairing to meet the issue with England If she does not yield in the Venezuelan matter. It says that when Secretary Olneys letter to Lord Salisbury is made public it's ringing sentences will find an echo in every patriotic heart. It leaves England no alternative but to uphold her claim by a show of force or abandon her aggressions on the American conti- neut.

ALABAMA EDITORS.aa

Our Autumn Pastoral. Out on the uplands the golden rod Is swinging her yellow plume, Along the road the asters nod, White hedges of starry bloom; The sumach has taken it's scarlet coat And the chestnut robe of gold, From the cedar hangs the crimson throat Of the trumpet flower bright and bold. And ah to be shut in dimson town When the gentians bloom on the lea, When the wind is bringing the brown nuts
 down
 And the squirrels are full of glee. Tn ' are shaded paths where the haw
 thorn grow,
 Great clusters of odorous pines, And hedges bright where the wild grapes
 glow
 Mid tangles of ferns and vines. And so in the citys noise and heat, Come longings that will not cease, For the woodland paths so cool and sweet, With their fullness of rest and peace.

THE TAEL DESCRIBED.

Some misunderstanding exists as
to the meaning of the word "tael, "
in which the indemnity will be paid,
The tael is not a coin, but a weight.
1t varies in value according to the
price of silver. In Peking at the
present time one tael is equal to
$1,5O in Mexican silver dollars, or rs
cents in American gold The silver
is put up in the form OF bullion, or
ingots, of from 20 to 80 taels. Be-
yond the fact that strong ground
exists for believing the indemnity
will be paid in silver, and that at
no time has gold been stipulated in
the negotiations, no further details
are obtainable at this time, The
tael, which will be used as the mea-
sure of value, will no doubt be the
Hal Kwan tael, in which customs
duties are paid, and whose value is
above stated,
1t is believed that one Of the Jap
anese armies now on Chinese soil
will be retained there until the in
dcmnity shall have been partially, if
not fully, paid. The other armies
will be returned to Japan and dis
banded as rapidly as possible,

PEACE IN THE ORIENT.
Silver Will be the Medium in Paying
the Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Careful
inquiries both at the Japanese and
Chinese Legations, and of officials
of the State Department and Of
icers of the navy, who, by resi-
dence in both the contending coun.
tries have become familiar with
their customs and currency, seem
to Indicate a strong probability
that the indemnity to be paid by
China to Japan will be paid in silver
and not in gold, though no definite
official statement to that effect has
yet been received here.
Silver is the measure of value to
great extent in both countries.
Japan has not been called upon TO
negotiate any European loan paya.
bic in gold for the prosecution of
the war Therefore she has expe-
rienced no especial draii of gold.
China, on the other hand, being
heavily in debt to England and 9TH
er European nations, has exported
within the last few months large
quantities of gold, and the national
treasury does not now contain any
considerable amount of this metal.
Moreover silver is the only medium
of exchange in the Chinese empire,
and this being the case, it would be
much easier to pay the indemnity
in that metal than in gold.

FUTURE POLITICS.

The organization under the an
nexatlon banner of persons who
have been called royalists is mat
tar that does not seem content to
await the attention promised 1t
after martial law is ended. a
new element in the field political
fails to see any particular reason
for delay. The maneuverings just
now are preliminary to a campaign
of the future. Issues are growing.
There will be in time an opposition
to the present dominant party. In
order that the going may be
good, as the race horse men say,
THE STAR hopes that the opposi-
ton will present platform OF prin-
ciples that is reasonable, sensible
and in every way worthy Of serious
consideration.
1t is remarkable that for two
years the various parts Of the party
which made the Republic a posi-
bility, have held together. Only
those who have been behind the
scenes realize at what effort harm
ony has been preserved. That
unanimity in the ranks be continued
is simply Of vital Importance. The
present is certainly no time toi
discord. There is at hand the
most serious tasks the party ofpro
gress has yet confronted. That
these can and will be wisely hand
led is assured by the satistactor!
disposition in the past Of importan
problems. The thing most to b
avoided, is the petty local quarrel. |
is the small grievance serving as tn
nucleus for the bundle of complain
that causes big trouble. 10 avon
these there must be eXhibite
patience, liberation and the mani
liberality which scorns at smallness
Very often a few words will clos

time, if there ever was an occasion
that the annexation party, with i
splendid record and its brilliai
prospects, should present fror
