GEN'L. NELSON Mn

GEN'L. NELSON MILES,
commander of the United
States army, in his annual
report recommends coast de-
fenses and an increase in the
regular army. 1t is not i'm
proper for a nation, when nu-
merically weak, to equip
itself with all modern appli-
ances for war, and to use all
necessary precaution to pre-
vent any undue advantage.
But the national strength of
this country is such as to
cause any nationality to
count the cost of intruding
upon its rights in a manner
that would result in an arbi-
trament of arms. As a warn
ing to this government not
to rely upon numbers for Sc
curity, Gen'l. Miles refers to
the disaster that befell China
in her war with Japan. IT
would, however, not only be
unfair but odious to compare
the soldiery of this country
with that of China. A better
comparison would be that Of
the northern soldiers with
those of the South. Not on
ly did the North outnumbe1
the South at least three to
one, but in addition posses
sed all of the governments
warfare, and had the whole
world to draw recruits from.
Still the war lasted from '61
to '65. The realization that
this is a united nation and
that in the event of this
country being again invaded
that the south would aid the
north in it's attack upon the
invaders should be sufficient
to dispel any doubt that the
commander of the army may
have in the United States
with its present equipments
not being able to cope sue
cessfully with a foreign foe

been different.

frOnted with a plain question in
tended to test its right to question
the democracy of the Scimitar. We
will put the case again, giving il
one more chance:
The Scimitar has never missed an
election and has never voted any
but the straight democratic ticket.
Did the editor of the Free Press
vote for the democratic candidate
for Congress in the Tenth Tennes-
see District last November? Come
now, bud; give us straight an

AS was expected some of
the free silver journals have
charged Cleveland, Carlisle
and the administration dem
ocrats with democratic defeat
in the elections of last week.
Since the charge is made
there is nothing wrong in en-
deavoring to ascertain wheth-
er it is founded or unfound-
ed. In several of the states
in which elections were held
the financial question was not
at issue. In fact only in
Kentucky, Nebraska, Missis-
sippi and the Eighth Illinois
Congressional District was
it discussed by the nominees.
In Kentucky, Hardin, a
champion Of free silver, was
defeated by about 5000
votes. In Nebraska, which
by the way is one of the wes-
tern states, where the senti-
ment for free silver is said to
be so strong, the sound money
and free silver democrats
each nominated candidates
for supreme court judge, and
the election returns showed
that the sound money demo-
Gratis received three times as
many votes as the free silver
candidates. In the 18th IL
linois Congressional District
which was carried by Cleve-
land in 1892 by $500 major
ity, Lane an advocate for free
coinage was defeated by
3, 900 votes. OF course Mis-
sissippi would 60 democrat
ie regardless of what the
platform contained. But the
silver issue was not the prin-
cipal factor that caused DEM
ocratic defeat. The reverses
are more properly charged to

hagrantly manifested in the
democratic ranks during the
asst congress. Had the

What is the lesson? 1t is this
and these: Mr.. Cleveland Is still in
possession of the confidence of the
masses. They trust him. They
have faith m him. They resent
ISLANDERS against him. The people
of Kentucky have faith in Carlisle.
They respect him. Those who
spring from obscurity to notoriety,
and into notoriety by slandering
Kentucky's great and honorer son,
will not receive popular support.
Another thing: The commercial
interests and the thinking people OF
the country are not going to stand
any sentimental nonsense from any
party. When democracy is made
to run counter to progress and com
mercial prosperity; when the demo
cratic label is stolen and placed up,
on the wild vagries of the populists,
the deception will be discovered
and resented. Party leaders should
realize this. Whether the silver
idea is right or wrong, there are
not enough people to enforce it.
Democracy downed the subtreasury
scheme when it was outside the par.
ty; it will down the silver craze when
inside the party.-Sunday Herald.

NAsHvILLE's DILEMMA.

A serious problem confronts the city of Nashville. The political situation is, to say the least of it, out of the ordinary, and only the man of phrophetic soul can say just what will be the outcome.
 The American Protective Association, commonly known as the A. P. A., an an- ti-Catholic society, has come out boldly placing a ticket in the field of municipal politics. It is stated that many of the names thereon are of good men, some of them not members of the society, but personally acceptable to it. This prac- tcally means that it's candidates will make the race irrespective of party feal- ty or any other traditional thing, and unless the regular Democratic committee can place stronger ticket in the field. Nashville will be controlled by secret order, founded on the principle of know nottingham, and condemned by all good men and true as un-Amercan and op- posed to the constitution.
 It was at first thought that the Amerl- can Protective Association would unite with the Republicans, but later develop ments have given new side to the ques- ton. Nashville appears to be between the devil and the deep sea- the Repuhli- cans and A. P. As. being at liberty to 5e- lect their own sides in the naming.

ANOTHER GOOD MAN CONE.

Yesterday afternoon Patrick Henry Moore, a quiet, useful and esteemed citi- zen of our city, departed this life. MT Moore was esteemed and respected by all who knew him, for he was the pos sessor of many of the higher elements of manhood. He belonged to that pro eressive class who were laboring to up build this country If a man ever died with his working harness on him 1t was this industrious citizen. Indeed his persistent labor and energy quickcned his death and hastencd to the grave one who might have enjoyed years of further usefulness. The Tribune extends to the bereaved widow and fatherless children the sympathy of this community Huntsville Tribune.
 MT. P. H. Moore came to Birmingham from Huntsville in 1874 and engaged in the brick making and building business. Inring his residence here he made friends by the hundred. and Birmingham had no more earnest worker than P. II.

For upward of forty years-from 1857 to 1S92-the Associated Press was com posed of those journals which received their news directly, or through auXll- iary associations, from the pioneer organ ization, the New York Associated Press.
 In 1882 the United Press was formed, its papers being the Boston Globe, Chi cago Herald, Pittsburg Leader, Brook lyn Times and some 100 others. In 1892 the New York Associated Press was con- solidated with the UnHed Press. and the New York Herald. Tribune. Sun, Times, Journal of Commerce, Mail and Express, etc. then became the prominent factors in the United Press.
 This combination has with it the South ern Associated Press; the Associated Press of the state of New York; the New England Associated Press; the pioneer press organization of Canada conducted by the Great Northwestern Telegraph company, and various other organiza- tions, most of which had been allied with the New York Associated Press for more than thirty years. This combina- ton is the genuine article and the Age Herald is part of 1t.
 The so-called Associated Press" is a Chicago enterprise, with a scattered fol- lowing in various parts of the country. It is a spurious organization which came into existence in 1892 It's record of blum ders and inventions during it's career was becomingly perpetuated by its an- nouncement that the VallSyrie had de- ieated the Defender in the first of the international yacht races.

ANOTHER CHALLENGE.

It was asserted over the length and breadth of the land that a most appalling quietus had been put upon international yacht racing by the recent explosive end ing of the Defender-Valkyrie meeting. Much to the relief of all true lovers of sport comes plucky challenge from MT. Charles Rose on the very heels of Dun ravens defeat.
 Soper has been selected by the Eng lishman to build a challenge boat. and it stands to reason that no one but Nat Herreshoff could be chosen as the maker of a new Defender. MT. Rose seems full of pluck and the contest seems to prom ise much that is exciting. Englishmen seem, one and all ito be deeply chagrined at the turn things have taken; not so much that defeat perched upon Valkyrle as the fact of Lord DunraVens childish behavior. At all events, that titled Eng lishman has received such d drubbing as he never had before, and he very proba- bly will ever after this sing of America, they do such things and they say such things, I'll never go there any more."

THAT MARES NEST.

The Selma Times acknowledges the corn in the following grunt:
 The Times got it badly mixed in regard to the governor remaining out of the State over twenty days, and the old lady Advertiser waded in on us in its Sundays issue. We have not been able to float any bonds in New York. as the Advertiser has done, to enable us to employ a consti- tutional lawyer on our staff, hence we will have to own up that he got us in hole on law. But will the Advertiser please answer this question: Did you not publish the arrival of Governor Oates two days before he got home from the springs? There is no constitutional law involved in this question, but simply a matter of fact.
 The Times had nice chance here to own and say, "We didn't know any bet ter we made a mistake and we have learned from it." No man is omniscient, he is obliged to leave some things un- learned, but if he will but admit the error few of his fellow men will still hold his ignorance against him. Instead of talk ing advantage of the situation and malS- ing a clean breast of it. the Times, ac- cordng to the order Of it's class, felt it. self obliged to drag in Wall street and mythical bonds. The sum and substance of the whole sensation that refused to sensatn was that the esteemed Times found a mares nest and made much ado about nothing. The eggs were not lbPrF

THE BLACK LIST.

An important decision, of interest to all railroad employees, and of special local in terest, was rendered by Judge Pratt of Toledo O.. September 23, on a demurrer to the petition of William Addison in a suit he has brought against the Lake Shore road. Addison claims that he was discharged by the road for going on a strike and that he was afterwards black listed, and this prevented him from se- curing empolyment with other roads. Judge Pratt held that while there was no contract compelling the road to re- tain the man in it's employ, it had not the right to prevent him from procuring em- ployment elsewhere. The right to seek and secure employment is one of public necessity, and when railroads interfere with that right they are answerable in damages. The same rule works the other way, and has been sustained by the courts many times.

Paine's celery compound Is the one known specific for the cure of rheuma- tism.
 And it does not need a tedious trial to prove it.
 The effect of this best of remedies is straightway felt.

In every state in the union there has been piled up in the newspapers and medical jour nals a tremendous amount of indisputa- ble evidence of the curative power of Paine's celery compound over all forms of nervous debility and diseases of the blood It cures after natures plan, by affording nutrition for every part of the body overhaulng the worn-out tissues and supplying new brain and nerve ma terial, sending pure blood through the veins. invigorating the whole system and removing the cause of disease.
 MT. Oscar Pike, a well-known resident of Princeton, Me. recently sent the fol- lowing unsolicited letter to the proprie- tors of this wonderful remedy:
 Two years ago was taken sick with what the doctors called the grip. I was improving when took on a violent cold and chill. Then rheumatism set in first in the joints of my shoulders, then down my hands and arms. then all over. Feet, hands and legs swelled. I could not put my hand to my head; could not throw the clothes off from me; could not dress or undress myself. nor get out of my chair without help. For year and half I tried all kinds of medicines and sarsapartllas with little or no relief. I was 73 years cid. Some one told me to try Paines celery compound. After I had taken three bottles I found marked improvement. have now taken twelve bottles, and the result is I eat and sleep well, do my own work, and go about as usual, getting in and out of my car riage without help. I have been tempt ed to put an article in the local paper for the benefit of those that are afflicted as l have been."
 Mir. Pike is well known in his locality. He is the founder and president of the North Washington Agricultural Society and Trotting association. When he goes for his mail, he says, people ask him what he has been doing that he is i'm proving so of late. and he answers as do thousands of others throughout the country

A GOOD SCHEME.
Large Photographs of Birmingham District industries to Be Exhibited at
 Atlanta.

The various iron manufacturing and mining companies of the Birmingham district have had made by an expert pho- tographer large pictures of their plants for exhibition in the Alabama building at the Cotton States and International exposition. No better idea of the variety and magnitude of the enterprises in this district can be gained than from these pictures Each picture is feet%iquare and magnificently developed. All of the pictures are to be punched in a man. moth frame and placed with the ex- hibit.
 The first picture of the lot taken was that of the old Tannehill charcoal fur mace, the ruins of which are yet to be seen twelve miles from Birmingham. near Gothite. The main structure is yet standing, being built of stone, but the wood work and machinery was destroyed during the war by federal soldiers. Iron was first made there in 1851. The last of the collection is that of Thomas furnace, said to be the finest in the world.
