THE Louisville Commercial says that Jef- ferson, was not the father of the Democratic party-that in the time of Jefferson tn ere was no Dem ocratic party. But the prin- ciples upon which the Democratic party was founded existed then, and Jefferson fathered those principles. By the way, who is the father of the free silver party? A sttraveliug man?'

THE TREND OF GREAT MINDS.

There are some peo- pie who do Lot seem t realize that, if a large amount of gold -s ay several hunured million dollars-weDt from the United states, an equal num- Der of silver dollars taking the place ot the gold dollars which thus went abroad, prices of all kinds of properly would re- maln the same. Of course wheat and cot ton and various kinds of American merch an- dlse would command better prices in Eng land than they could command if the quan- tity of gold in Great Britain had not been increased by an out flow of the yellow metal fl om the United States. AS England could not import wheat and cotton from India, and various articles of merchan- disc from silver using countries, as profit ably when silver is fully remonetized in the United States as she can now do the export trade of the United States would be greatly increased. Thus gold would flow to our country.-The Daily State, Friday, April 5.

Colone ell Rogers was the first newspaper man in the state to use steam in running his printing press, having introduced 1t in the office of the Union Springs Herald. The price he has just paid for the Opelika News was s6O00-or rather he exchanged for it his south Highlaud residence, which is valued at the same amount.

Too few people re- alize the greatness of the United States. Our country covers an area about as great as that of the entire Con- tinent of Europe, and 1t has grand possi- biliti eS before it that Europes cdn } never have. As far back as the year 1884, the United States were calculated to be two and one-ffth times as rich as the great Ger man Empire. The wealth of the United States was at about the same time esii- mated to be some ten thousand millions of dollars vaster than that of wealthy Great Britain.
 The truth is that if the United States Gov. ernment fully remone- Iized silver it would not be long alone in such a sagacious course Inasmuch as all the gold-using countries oi the world would be compelled to do likewise or to see the people of the United States com manoing the trade of the silver-using world and dnjoying a glori- ous prosperity, while gold monometallic nations would go on suffering ever greater and greater poverty anu wretchedness un- til they followed the example set them by the great republic of the Western Hemis- phere. e.-Fragmenr of an article by John c.

A FREE. SILVER contemporary admits the point made by the AoE-HERALD that Jef- fereon stopped the coinage of silver dol lars, but tries to explain it by saying that It was done because silver went up to premium. The why's and wherefores do not alter the fact. It might have been done because silver went to premium, or because it depreciated, or for some occult reason unknown. If it is constitutional to stop the coinage of silver dollars to keep silver from going to premium, it must also be constitutional to stop the coinage to keep it from depreciating so that it can't be maintained on parity with gold. The free silver advocates can't get around Jef- ferson's act. 1t destroys the effect of all their hue and cry about the "unconstitu- tiopality of closing the hints to silver,' about "the monstrous crime of 1S73," and about silver being "the money of the con- stitution.p

THE congregation of the Presbyterian church at Natertown, N. Y., bave re- quested tue pastor. Rev. William Cleve- lahd, brother of President Cleveland, to tender his resignation. It is said that poli- tics is the disturbing element, alth ou2h MT, Cleveland has taken; no part in poli- tics. Mir.

This right of appeal in the Presbyterian church is one of it's greatest safeguards 10 liberty Of con science, aud if the defendant does not be- lievs that justice has beea done him he can appeal to the synod ,stheuce to the general assembly. This right of appeal is as sacred as the right of citizen to appeal from. matters. A well read gentleman directs our;attention to this liberality foi. the Pres byterian denomination. sl'he principles of the government of that church approach in similarity the principles upon which the. United States government is founded. In both the bed rock principle of individual liberty is recognized. It is the power to assert individual right that causes so many trials in the Presbyterian church, and not the strictness of the rules of the church. The Briggs case, the Preserved Smith case, and the case of the telephone girl who worked on Sunday, all occurred in the Presbyterian denomination, and were fought to finish, because that church grants such a right.

DAVID AS A GENERAL.
A COMMENT on rHE FIELD MAN
EuvERs HE MADE.
~
Highar strategy Used Had Drilled
Troops Moved Like
Napoleon.

At the last meeting Of the AGA e
enic DIES Inscriptions ct Bellies.
Lettres, NJ. Dieulafoy, the we'll
known explorer in Persia, read a
very interesting account of his vi. i,
to the scene Of the decisive en-
counter between King David ard
the Philistines in the valley of
Rephaim. NJ. Dieulaioy described
how, after the capture of Jerusalem
by David and the establishment OF
the lsraelite monarchy, the Philis-
tines resolved to crush the nascent
kingdom, and how, after alterna-
tons OF success and failure, they
occupied the valley of Rephaim,
situated at the foot of the slopes
which led from the west to Jerusa-
lem. 1t was then. according to NJ
Deulafoy, that David, constantly
attacked by the enemies executed
one Of the finest military maneu-
vers recorded in history. NJ. Dieu-
lafoy, while indicating the various
advances made by military art, and
having shown that before the wars
of the Medes 10 nation had any
acquaintance with the rules of
higher tactics and strategy, dwelt
upon the fact that David was the
first of the Israelite leaders to form
drilled and disciplined troops, and
pointed out what good use the king
made of this army in the Valley of
Rephaim.
The plan of the battle, very
clearly described i'll the Bible,
which ascribes the conception OF it
to Jehovah, comprised a flank
march, a rapid change of front, the
rapid encompassing of the left
wing of the Philistines, and
an attack from behind OH
this wing. This was complicated
aud bold turning movement, very
difficult to execute and something
quite out of the common for the
age in which it was carried out.
M. Dieulafoy, who had discovered
the theater of operations and had
made use of the general topography
of the region in order to reconsti-
tute the principal phases of the
battle, pointed out that this move
ment presented a striking analogy
with those executed by Frederick
II at the battles of Mollwitz and
Rossback, and by Napoleon at
Austerlitz. In the conduct of this
operation David gave evidence OF
the highest capacities, taking adj
vantage of all the inequalities OF
the ground, forming his troops
airesh i'll the wood, and charging
impetuously, and NJ. Dieulaloy in.
sisted very strongly upon the SINH
larity of his military genius TO that
Of Napoleon.
