Birmingham state herald., 1895-10-19

made a speech and the dispatches say
 that when punch was served the building was crowded" s!ar- ~ Says the Union Springs Herald:
 "The governor is not exactly satisfied
 with Alabama day at the exposition,
 which was last Friday, and he will make
 efforts to have another day for Ala
 bamans to visit the show. He will try
 to get up a battalion of state troops
 to visit Atlanta some time soon."
 Tuskaloosa Gazette: The Montgomery Advertiser is extremely unfortunate, we think, in its attitude towards those Dem- ocratic leaders who differ with 1t on the financial question. It continually carps at them and their policies often unfairly. When criticism sinks to mere petty and
 pettish faultfinding, it always fails of its purpose.
 Tuskegee Reporter: A little boy visiting here from Salem was heard to cuSs, and
 when reprimanded for it said: "All the
 boys cusses in Salem and most all the mens." We don't know but that Is pret- ty we'll the case in Tuskegee. Recently a little 4-year-old asked his grown up sis ter a question about something, to which
 she replied: You don't know, do you?"
 "No, I don't know, but I am trying my damndest to find out"
 Says the Mobile Register: "If the Ad- .vertiser's report of the Alabama day pro- ceedngs at Atlanta is correct, the Ala bama Press association got lost in the immensity of the show and the official oratory was addressed to a beggarly ar ray of empty boxes. There is one ad- vantage people who stay at home have: They can continue to think they cut some sort of swathe. Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise.
 The Union Springs Herald pays the fol- lowing compliment to Birmingham s pop
 ular poet:
 "Dr. O. T. Dozier, the sweet poet of Birmingham, presented the editors who were in session in his city last week With
 copies of his latest publication, and this book contains some of the lovliest and sweetest poems that have fallen from the pen of any southern muse. Hours may be most delightfully."- spent with his vol ume."
 The State Herald giving general satis- faction. The Oneonta News says:
 "The State Herald of Birmingham ap- pears to be giving general satisfaction throughout the state. The Montgomery Advertiser and few other cuckoo news papers continue to growl, alleging that It is now too conservative. It would be a profound blessing to the democracy of
 
 preferred against the Advertiser and its confrereS." nr ar. 'ua-a=- The Jasper Eagle approves "The State Herald's advice to the dem- ocratic press and leaders in which it ad. monishes them to adopt a conciliatory policy towards their brethren who differ from them on the financial question, is
 good and in the right direction. There are extremists on both sides who have
 greatly injured the party we fear by their course It Is question which must be
 settled within the party, and the only
 way to settle it right, as it should be set tied. is for all parties to respect and give weight to opinions of those of the party who may hold opposite views. We trust that this will be done."
 Silver and gold current money in the days of Abraham. The Hamilton News Press searches the scriptures and finds the following: :...s .
 There is no question but that silver was the first metal ever used as money We read in the Bible Genesis xiii, 16 And Abraham hardened unto Ephraim and Abraham weighed to Ephraim the silver which he had named in the audi ence of the sons of Heth, 400 Shekels of
 silver current money with merchants"
 Again. And Abraham was very rich in
 cattle, silver and gold. d."-Genesis xiii, ?.
 From that day until the monopolists and
 spectators of Europe and America got
 possession of the finances of the country
 silver has always been recognized as
 money metal and enjoyed equal coinage
 privileges with gold"
