WHO RorTEnp

The free-silver-Populite press is hav- ing much to say regarding the refusal of the great Kentucky journals to support the .Gubernatorial nominee, one F. Wat Hardin. They are fond of the word bolt" and use 1t freely in this connee- tion, charging that although Hardin is the regular nominee of the legitimate party. the sound money contingent will turn him down unless he consents to vote their way. The cheap John papers make much ado over MT Hardin's cour- age in refusing to alter his views to suit his proposed office. This is not the proper time for display of those convictions. The time for such stand was before the convention that placed his name in nomi- nation. Had he declared then and there that he was an uncompromising free sil- verite the convention would never have nominated him. and he knew it.
 He understood the platform perfectly, realized that he was expected to uphold the cause of sound money, which is the very backbone of his constitu- ency's political creed and the time for exhibiting his cour- age was then and there. Had he so spoken he might not have been Gov ernor, but he would have come out of the matter with infinitely more credit to himself. It Is not the sound money papers that have bolted the nominee, but the nominee himself that has bolted the plat form. This is the only reading of an Open tale

CARD FROM HON. H. H. BROWN

To the Age-Herald:
 r I said in my speech at East Lake last Tuesday that there was plenty of gold in the world to serve as basis or standard money To illustrate or substantiate States and show what could be done on the gold basis. There are in the, United States $500, GOO of gold. The authori- ties on the money question say that $3 of currency to $1 of the basis money can safely be issued. Then upon the $600,- 100000 of gold there could be issued $1 800, ,00O, 900 of bankable currency. It is also said by the best authorities on the money question that the highest amount of basis money which has ever been ac- tually necessary for redemption purposes in countries when and where the finan cial system was considered sound and satisfactory, was per cent-the range being from per cent to per cent. Then there would be no necessity for the $600,- 100000 of gold to be kept in the vaults of the banks of issue for redemption pur- poses. But suppose we say that the banks of issue shall be compelled to keep on hand 16 2-3 per cent of their gold more than twice the amount necessary, which would aggregate the sum of $100, 900, ,000-then there would be left of the gold $500, ,000, 900 for circulation. Now, add that amount to the S1.S00 100000 of cur rency and we have $2. 300, 000, 0G0 of money for circulation, which would give us in the United States $32S5 per capita.
 In the above of course have not at tempted to give a single detail as to a banking system by which the results could be reached, but I have given it to the public for whatever it may be worth in the effort now going on to settle the money question. H. H. BROWN.

ABOUT THE COLUMBIA.

Grave doubts are now entertained re- garding the cruiser Columbia. Although it has been given out that she sustained no injuries from the mistake made at the dry dock, there are some complaints and a general lack of satisfaction. Advices say that before she left England for her test run home she was run into a dock that fitted a vessel only half her length, and that 75 or 100 feet of her bottom were wholly without support.
 She is large craft and in Washing ton it has been freely commented that under such circumstances she must have received a strain which, while in the present instance may not be severe, yet which but for singular good fortune might have ruined her.
 Northern journals are beginning to clamor for the names of those responsi- ble for the bad break made when she was dry docked. Some interesting revelations may yet be made regarding the matter.

IN FAIR MOBILE.

Booming Alabama is not a difficult thing these days, when each little town and village is doing all in it's power to make itself a wheel within the big wheel of State pride and State development
 Attention is constantly being directed to the famous old Gulf City, where quiet ly, but firmly the people have taken hold of the lever and guided themselves and their city to sure success. The Mobile of today is not the Mobile of the past Her facilities for sea trade are double what they were, investigation showing eight steamers in the Tampa and Cuba trade, upwards of twenty in the Honduras line, two to Colon, four to Tampico, seven to Liverpool and three to Bremen.
 A correspondent writing to the Selma Journal says:
 The cotton exports of the city last year increased 400 per cent, and the city this season expects to handle 500,000 bales The actual increase in the tonnage of Mobiles shipping last year shows the un- precedented record of 92 per cent.
 It is also asserted that Captain Quill of the river line proposes to. build two barges in order to have greater facilities for transporting cotton from the com press.
 It may be that with the advantages she has Mobile may one day be the shipping port of the South. She has the advantages that equip a city for handling sea trade. and is besides conservative, thorough and reliable. Alabama may yet be the key to the South, sea and gulf trade. It will take effort to make her that, but it is worth it.

MIR. oINEY AND HIS BAD BOYS.

Dispatches inform us that the State Department is not exactly pleased with the course of Minister Denby at Pekin and that of Minister Eustis at Paris.
 It is hinted that the former is sull<ing because his instructions do not coincide with his private views of the mode of pro- cedure with China in reference to the outrages on missionaries. MT. Eustis, it is intimated, is giving more time to so- cial functions than to the prosecution of the Waller case.
 It should be noted, however that no official is directly quoted in the dis patches. The charges are broadly and vaguely stated as coming from the de- partment. It is not impossible that they have their prime basis in the brilliant imagination of the newspaper man.

Firmly Rooted Already.

Speaker Clark of the Alabama house of representatives states the case correctly when he says the United States has all ready made desperate effort to sustain the declining value of silver. The treas ury is piled high with the metal, but the effect on the world at large has been in significant. Having performed more than it's duty and more than it's share to prop up silver this nation is now at full lib- erty to recognize the operation of the laws that have discredited silver, just as they have discredited for modern use many another agency of commerce." This common-sense view of the case Is spreading even in what are called the silver states.-EXchange

TT IS SUGGESTIVE.

Secretary Thompson, who has been to Bessemer, talked in a most entertain ing manner yesterday afternoon of what he saw down there.
 In the success of the Howard-Harrison Companys experiments in the utilization of coke gas MT. Thompson sees new and more wonderful industrial growth in this district. The canny secretary, we all know, is not a dreamer. There is some thing in what he says. Read it.
