SHES COMING.

The future of Japan is interesting in several respects.
 Flushed with her victory over China, she aspires to become a great military power The national spirit in this re- spect is almost unanimous, and the Jap of high or low degree out jingoes the jingo. The people are anxious, if not clamorous, to be taxed for the develop ment of the military power.
 But it is in the industrial way that Japan is most to be feared by the white nations. Her people are very initiative, and are not swayed by scruples. They care nothing for patent rights or other delicate points of international comity. Manufacturing plants of every descrip- ton are being established throughout the empire. Skilled labor from Europe and America is being imported, only to be displaced as the natives catch on. As the Japanese are natural mechanics, delft of touch and true-eyed, this evolution will be speedy.
 In a nutshell, Japan bids fair not only to supply the wants of the orient but to enter the great marts of the world and underbid her Caucasian cousins Keep your eye on Japan.

THE REIGN OF DUCK.

MT. T. Suffern Taylor, a young man who writes himself leader of Newport society "by divine right of heels,'' has inaugurated the reign of duck. Not long since he appeared at function-all Newport gatherings are functions-wear- ing a frock coat made of white duck. It was much admired. so the common herd is informed, and instantly adopted. The taflors-not relatives of the young man, but blarsted bloody people in trade, V know-were kept busy supplying the gilded youth with garments after a simi- lar pattern.
 The New York papers have been un- kind enough to poke fun at MT. Taylor and his associates, but if they will eX- anime the matter fairly with unpreju- diced eyes, they will realize that Newport is just as capable of designing and origi- hating it's own fashions as any com munity in the world. No higher pursuit seems open to it as legitimate, on ac- count of the expense of energy required, particularly as Newport distinctly de- clines to permit any energy that does not run to golf, tennis and, of late, to bicycling.
 Let MT. Taylor and his friends wear what they please. At it's worst the fash ion only brings to mind a most savory dish, and without disrespect to the young man, all hail to the Newport canvas-back duck.

NOT TRUE TO HIS TRUST.

If Kentucky goes Republican in the approaching election General Hardin, Democratic nominee for Governor, will be largely ansWerable for the result.
 His declaration for silver monometal- lisrn, in the face of the action of the con- vention which nominated him, and his puerile attempt to warp the financial plank of the national Democratic plat form have aroused a lively disgust with in the ranks of his party.
 State issues were plentiful, which Gen eraI Hardin might have seized and turned to his party's good. The contest in it's best aspect meant a hard fight for Democratic success. Nevertheless. Gen eral Hardin went out of his way to lug in the silver issue and has thereby se- riously imperilled the success of the par ty which has placed it's standard in his hands.
 General Hardin has clearly ignored the spirit of the convention which nominated him, Had he been as explicit in his ayowals previous to the convention as he is on the stump at the present, chances are that the honor would not have been his.
 The Kentucky Democracy is confronted by a very serious situation. Hardin must be "called down." metaphorically or lterally-better{ '.e latter-if the par ty wishes to win the fight.

A Foreigner.

In Kentucky, says the Louisville Post, an unfortunate merchant saw bankrupt cy confronting him, and, to save DOT tion of his property, he invoked the name of his wife and the assistance or a friend The creditors instituted certain preceed- ings to recover certain property, and Tn the course of the proceedings his friend, a native of Virginia, was put upon the stand All went well until the witness was subjected to a rigid cross-examina- tion by lawyer, himself a native of V1r- ginia The witness went blunderng along at such rate that his lawyer felt it necessary to interfere and tell him that he was not required to answer questions which would crminate himself.
 After the close of the case, which re- suited disastrously for our accommodat- ing friend from Virginia, he expressed great indignation at the humiliation to which he had been subjected. Il was never in my life treated with so little courtesy" he said "The opposing coun- sel did not act at all like gentleman, sir I expected entirely different treat from Virginia and he knew that I was from that state. No, sir. in the old days no Virginia gentleman would cause an- other Virginia gentleman the slightest embarrassment because of so paltry matter nor would he seek by set inter- rogatories to make him contradict him. self No, sir, it is unpardonable, sir, and all for the purpose of increasing the divi- dends of few yankee clients whom he never saw. I am convinced, sir, that your lawyer never came from Virginia at all sir; he must have come from West Virginia. ."-Savannah News.

AT THE COURT HOUSE.

Two damage suits were filed in the city court as follows:
 A. M. Shaw ys. Highland Avenue and Belt Railroad company and Columbian Equipment company. Plaintiff claims of defendants $10,000, and alleges that on the goth of January of the present year he was driving along the street where the defendants track runs, and that by req son of the track of said defendants road being about inches above the ground the wheels of his buggy, in attempting to cross the track, were caught thereby and caused to slide some distance, and that said sliding of the buggy gave his horse fright and caused him to run away, throwing plaintiff and seriously injuring him.
 M. B. F. Pitts vs. Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company. In this cause plaintiff sues for $5000 damages, and sets out in his complaint that he and his son were passengers on an East Lako train in July last, and after he paid full fare for himself and son from Birming- ham to Woodlawn and before arriving at Wloodlawn the conductor attempted to force his son from the train on the refusal of the latter to pay fare again. He further alleges that he attempted to prevent his son being put off the car and the conductor forcibly ejected both himself and his son and beat and bruised him considerably, and that he was thus forced to walk to Woodlawn.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
That Brutal Murder.

To tie Age-Herald:
 The people do not seem to be aroused to the enormity of the uncalled for murder that occurred in this city the other night. An honest, hard-working colored man heard loud talking and swearing in front of his house. He opened the door and warned the midnight revelers to dis perse One of them shot him down and killed him. They are supposed to be white men. But the fact that they are white and their victim colored should not protect them from justice. Law breakers must be taught that every citi- zen, no matter what his color, must and shall be protected These murderers should be brought to justice. A public subscription should be taken up and reward offered for their capture The public journals of the nonth have affirmed time and again that no attention is paid to the killing of a negro in the south. We should no longer give them an oppor- tunity for making such an assertion. Birmingham should be known as the southern city where the life and liberty of whdtes and blacks arO equally protected.

As no GOLD IN ALABAMA.

This mornings Age-Herald contains an interesting communication from an old and experienced miner touching upon the rich gold finds in Alabama.
 Ever since the days of occupation by the Indians there have existed numerous traditions regarding the rich deposits of gold in unworked veins, which consti- tuted net work beneath the crust of AL abania soil. In the numerous Indian mounds which have been opened divers instruments of curious shapes have been found, which have been pronounced by experts and students of Indian habits to have been used for tunnelling. May not this have been true? The red men knew the soil and thesgeneral lay of the land as his white brother can never know It, because, being dependent upon nature, he gave her more intimate study and was recompensed by a comprehensive in sight into her secrets and her store houses.
 All through the South there are snatches of gold. In Kentucky quite respectable vein was struck some years ago at Hardin's creek, but work upon 1t was discontinued because the land was the property of a community of nuns, who refused to permit it's occupation by the gold hunters.
 Among the many possibilities that open up for Alabama the mining of gold may be not the meanest. This State has al- ready a formation that geologists pro- nounce to be of rare occurrence, viz: limestone, sandstone, coal and iron, each within stones throw of the other. It is not impossible that a rich gold find may be added to her list of treasures. If this proves true, 1t will come only as & clincher on the assertion that no man need go further but may well say, Here we rest

DEMOPOLIS.

The Growth of the Town Has Received
 New Impetus Gratifying Facts.
 DemopoIis, Aug. 20.-(Speclal. Core spondence 1.-The steady growth of our town has suddenly received renewed lrn- petus. About nine months we had such a marvellous building boom upon US that it was predicted when it finished there would be no other buildings put up m a century, and 1t was wittily said that the town would be finished one, ouI such prophecies are now proven Wldely uh- true, as the following will show: The elegant double-story brick building on Washington street owned and occupied by. J. Marx & Co. Is being greatly lm- proved by having magnlncent pidte glass front put in it. the store house pe- longing to ". E. Michael on the same street that was burned last winter IS being again rebuilt, only it is to have nressed brick front and plate glass win dows and doors; the store owned by John c. Webb and occupied by Zaiser as grocery and butcher shop Is being auaeu to, making it several feet longer to meet the growing business of the occupants and last Saturday it was announced on tbe streets that John c. Webb had bought the Michael lot belonging to J. Marx & Co, and situated on the corner of Washington and Strawberry streets the most prominent corner in the town, and would immediately begin erectihs thereon the handsomest three-story brick building in this part or the s'a.e, tss Your correspondent saw MT. Webb this morning and learned that he had tel eeraphed for an architect, who was eX- nected today. and that after seeing him he (Mr. Webb would determine whether he would place a three-story puiloius running the entire length of the lot, or one running back 80 feet and three stores fo nj ra hprrV street. It is rumored that Mr. Webb will have an opera house in the second or tnliu sfory of the proposed building, and It IS also reported that he will have notei' but all of these are merely rumors; the only thing positive is that MT Wepp nas bought the lot and that he will have some kind of building erected thereon as soon as it can be possibly done, ana those of us who know him know that whatever kind of building he places there will be an ornament to the town, TOT as he said today: "I don't care cent II l run out at the elbows, or get so that thg seat of my trousers need repairing, am going to do everything in my power to help the town I live in; l can't take anything away from this world anyhoW, and when die only want to be wrapped in an army blanket and dumped III the earth and have Camp Oracle 10 bury me-" and he meant it, for it has grown to he a common saying in Demopolis that if we had ten more men like John WebD we would not be behind any town in the land
 Besides this, we have cotton factory almost assured. This is no wild asser~ tion In less than month 1t will be an nounced as fact. It is also rumored that MT. Webb is going to have fac tory of his own, but we know nothing ot this, except that if he makes up his mind to do so 1t will surely be accomplished. Now how does this news agree with the calamity howls?

Gaining Ground.

The new European method of making coke is thought by the Pittsburg papers to be of the first importance. The by products obtained in the new closed oven process are worth twe-thirds as much as the coke. Besides the chemical products, the surplus gas rom cioseo ovens from the present volume of the coke industry in Pittsburg would be not less than 42 GOO 100000 cubic feet, or the equivalent of 4,2OO, 900 tons of coal. Every thing in the coal is utilized in the closed oven, while by the present method the ammonia and benzole are wasted. ihe coke turned out was thought for time to be inferior but it sells for the same price in England The new ovens are under course of construction at several points in Pennsylvania and New York Exchange.
