 There has been some concern eX- pressed by our people over the South ern's recent deal with the Queen and Crescent. There has been rumor afloat to the effect that the Southern would usa this route for a grand trunk, and make us a kind of way station. This is merely a rumor, however, and so far as we can find out has no foundation whatever. In talking with one who ought to know, we learned that so far from this report being true he had heard that the Southern was going to make us part of the trunk route and thus force down the stock of the Queen and Crescent so that ultimately she could gobble it entirely. Whatever may be the outcome, there is but little fear of the officials cutting off so well paying part of the road as is this.

The table published by the New York World the other day, showing the indi- vidual and aggregate rise in nearly 100 of the leading stocks of the stock list, is worthy the perusal of the calamity howlers. The exhibit covers the past six weeks and shows an aggregate rise of S300, 900 in value in a gross issue of $3, 900, ,0O0 900. or an average increase of 10 per cent. Many of the stocks, however. indicate a gain of 33 1-3 to 50 per cent. A few instances will indicate how much richer apparently some of the stock kings are now than they were in Feb ruary and March. Sugar stock went from S61s to 11534; gas from 126 to 1431s; Man haitian from 104 to 119B; Missouri, Kan sas and Texas from 121a to IFS, preferred from 211s to 33; Missouri Pacific from 1S5s to 2S; Standard Oil from 155h to 1855; Union Pacific "A to 15B; Pullman Car stock 154 to 175-and so on through the list. The public may not have obtained direct benefit from these stated specu- lations, but everybody will feel a relief that there is increased demand for such holdings-hence confidence is gaining foothold. When fhe stock market moves upward the general market does likewise.

MT. Crisp does not favor the IS to 1 faI4 lacy. Vest thinks 20 to would be better, but Bland and his stalwart followers say l6 to or nothing. Hence it appears that the silver contingent of the Democratic party is composed of numerous sub-fac- tions so far apart in the matter of ratio that they can never be brough together in a formidable compact.
 The National Democratic party will stoutly refuse to indorse the 16 to folly. for in it's wisdom it recognizes the fact that such action would destroy its use fitness, and make impossible it's ever again obtaining control of this govern ment.

MT. John Towers Speaks.

To the Age-Hera1d.
 My name appears in the States issue Of the 16th instant along with the names of several good and intelligent citizens said to be opposed to the gold standard. As far as relates to myself it was mistake to include my name in that list. When it comes to a question of monometalllsm I am in favor of the gold standard I should be glad if our government could indulge in the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to if the same could be done without placing us on a silver basis, but have yet to be convinced that this government, acting independently of the other great commercial nations, can accomplish an end so desirable. However, my business Is fire insurance and not that of a discusser of financial questions. I am frank to say that I know more about the 'three-quartsr value clause" than do of the teachings of "Coins Financial School"

 He explained the financial condition ef the state and showed that the reason there was no more money in the treasury was because of the shrinkage in value and understanding the value of prop erty by a large per cent of the people. He mentioned some of the reforms that have taken place since he has been gov- ernor.
 He said that we are now having re-- action from the financial depression of the past few years, and that tidal wave of prosperity is slowly sweeping through Alabama and the entire south. Governor Oates closed by saying that he believed the people of Alabama were less agltated over the money question than eliy other state in the south and that ho wG5 glad of it..
