REFORM WITHIN THE LINES.

The question of reform within the ranks of the democratic party Is just as pro- nounced In other southern states as it is in Alabama. We have seen how it has been handled in Mississippi, and how peace has followed the broad spirit which unites the whites of that state. In Louis jana the spirit is equally as strong. The press of that state informs us that number of democratic parish committees, in providing for primaries, have made their calls very broad. hoping to win back some of those who recently deserted to the republicans and populists. In many eases the calls for parish primaries in- eludes all whites, so as to prevent any division in the ranks, and thus assure white supremacy under all circumstan- ces. In the case of primaries for the elec- tion of delegates to the state convention, while the rules adopted require that the vote shall be restricted to white demo- crats, several parishes have given very broad definition to the word democrat, including under that name all those who have in the past voted the ticket or who are willing to abide by the result of the state convention.
 We find nothing in Mississippi or Louisiana approaching the hide-bound rules with which some of the Alabama democracy would circumscribe the pri- mary vote in this state. The Times-Dem- ocrat says:
 ",Fhe democratic state convention in 1896 will define the position of the party on silver and ballot reform, and there IS no one who has any knowledge of the subject but knows that the party Will declare strongly for free silver and hon. est elections. Every democratic conven- ton which has been held so far has so pronounced so emphatically on these points that no one can doubt it's good faith.
 "These are the two chief aims of those white voters who have heretofore called themselves populists, and they can achieve what they desire most success fully within the ranks of the democracy. If these questions are the only ones which keep them out of the party then there is no sense in their staying out longer, for the democracy is in full ac- cord with them and the claim that any prominent democrat is opposed cuts no figure in the matter. Most of .the men who voted previously with the populists in Mississippi seeing that they could hope to accomplish nothing in that par ty, but that they could best assure the success of the principles for which they are struggling by voting the democratic ticket, have returned to the party of their former allegiance. and are now sup porting it. This is what the election of November means. The populist lead CTS anticipate the same action in Louis jana; hence they view with alarm the disposition of the voters who lately sup ported them to return to the democracy, and thus secure the triumph of free sil- yer and ballot reform"

ever harvested will be coming to market soon and the price for the May option in Chicago rules below 30 cents. Well. in 1889 there was a crop nearly or quite as large as the present one, exceeding 2,l0O,- 000.000 bushels. Prices ran down as low in Chicago as 271k cents in February, but in May they ran up to 35 cents, and in August touched 5Ok cents.
 The big cotton crop of last year sent prices down to a point lower than for fifty years, and the cotton planters of the south thought they were ruined. They said prices were lower than the cost of production, which was variously given as 6 to 2 cents pound. A rise set in, beginning in February, which sent up prices more than 75 per cent.
 The men who held their corn in 1890 made money. and so did the cotton plant CTS of 1894. And no market ever lasts when prices are crowded down below cost
 The Journal well says:
 "In the light of the history of the mar kets for the past ten years 1t remains to be seen whether "a wink is as good as nod to a blind horse,' whether those who have corn and oats to sell will have them to sell when the advance comes, or whether they will sacrifice the results of their toll on a bear market and go on croaking that farming doesn't pay"

The first Duchess of Marlborough was a servant girl in the dukes family when he married her.
 Mayor Davis of Kansas City forgot to pay his taxes last year. and was indig- nant the other day to find that his resi- dence had been sold.
 At Rockport, the other day, Mrs. Sarah Davis shot and fatally wounded Mrs. Isabella Goodman, her neighbor. They quarreled about their chickens. Mrs. Davis is in jail.
 Gen. Cassius M Clay is preparing a magazine article to show that he, and not Secretary Seward. was the man to whom belonged the credit of buying Alaska. At the time General Clay was United States minister at St. Petersburg and conducted the negotiations.
 Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease has just set her husband up in the drug business again in Witchita, Ks. That state has a law requiring pharmacists to pay an annual fee of 50 cents. By the advice of his wife, who believes the law unconsti- tutional MT. Lease has refused to pay this tax. and has been arrested for it.
 Mrs. Balington Booth. co-commander of the Salvation Army in America, has just completed 8 remarkable trip across the continent in an engine cab. It is the first time on record that a woman has made such a journey. Chauncey Depew who is a warm friend of the Salvation ists, made it possible for Mrs Booth to ride on the engine cabs over the various trunk lines to Frisco.

EFFORTS TO MTSJ,EAD.

The Savannah, Ga., News in a column editorial, among other things. says:
 Look at Kentucky! That state is strongly democratic. It is the only state in which the silver question was squarely an issue in the late elections. And what was the result? The usual democratic majority of 10000 was changed into a republican majority of 15.000. The dem ocratic platform was all right, but the democratic candidates talked the 16 to idea, and the people repudated them"
 It cannot be said that the News is not posted, or that its editorial department is not presided over by a well-informed writer. However, the editor must either be presuming on the ignorance of it's readers, else it is attempting to mislead those who have not the time to post themselves on the current events of the day.
 The News says Kentucky is the only state "in which the silver question was squarely an issue in the late elections" |" when in fact Mississippi was the only state in which the silver question was souarely an issue in the late election, and every county gave a majority for the silver candidate. And it will be remem- bered that Governor Stone the present executive. was defeated in his efforts to champion the gold standard cause not only in his home district, but at the very box at which he voted.
 Not satisfied with misleading its read CTS as to the silver movement in Missis- sippi, the News again asserts:
 "If the democratic party should fol- low the lead of the Alabama senators on the finacial question it would lose four-fifths of the states in the next pres dential election. Its only hope for sue cess Is in making a bold and unequivo- cal declaration in its national platform in favor of sound money. Of course if the party should make a declaration of that knd and the democracy of Ala bama should indorse it. Senators Morgan and Pugh would not get back to the United States senate"
 Is 1t true that the brainy and we'll posted editor of the Savannah News doesl not know that Senator Morgan, the lead ing senator of America, has four more years to serve? Does he not know that two senators are never elected at one and the same time from a state? Or does he pretend to believe that this question will not be sufficiently settled within the next four years and that the honest ad- vocacy of the question by such a man as Morgan. who has been honored by his state for twenty years in the United States senate. will be repudiated four years hence by his defeat for reelection? We cannot believe ignorance exists to such an extent in Georgia as the News would attempt to make the outside pub he believe.

ATLANTA.

The popularity of the Atlanta exposl- ton is vouched for by the New-Orleans Times-Democrat as follows:
 Atlanta has been singularily fortunate in the matter of it's visitors. No one has refused it's invitation. Already the governors of nearly all the northern states have visited it, and the others have promised to do so with the other leading state officials. There have been large delegations present from Boston (the New England cotton manufactur- ers), from Chicago (the directors of the Columbian exposition, who include many of the prominent business men of the Windy City), from Philadelphia Qncluding the entire municipal govern ment of that city and many of it's iead- ing merchants), and from other cities. Never have there been so many visitors from the north on this side of the line,' and they hav, all taken home the most favorable reports from this sec ton n

PRICES MAY GET BETTER,

In dead earnest no doubt some of our newspapers were saying not long ago in a very droll way that the farmers were never better off than at present In spite of the good times that the new financial experiments have given us we find the Chicago Journal quoting pota- toes at Des Moines as selling at 12 cents per bushel, oats at 16 cents. and corn at 20 cents. In northwestern Iowa. it says potatoes are loaded in the cars at cents a bushel, and oats at F cents. It is not surprised at the lugubriousness of farm CTS, nor surprised at the remark that farming doesn't pay"
 But it says, recall the drouth that pre- vailed--and for that matter still prevails in the central states. and a demand can be easily forseen proceeding from the regions of want to those of plenty. Pota- toes are selling in this market at from 30 to 35 cents, which is equivalent to about IT cents in northern Michigan where Cincinnati gets it's supply. We be- lieve this is the lowest price on record, and certainly does not pay the cost of production. When prices get as low as that they are apt to advance.
 So with corn. One of the largest crops

see that there is very little left for them to protect. Every letter from Turkey. every account by passing travellers, speaks of the reign of terror. It is per haps too much to expect that there will be any extensive occupation by the pow CTS before spring. The mountain passes through which alone they can reach the disturbed sections are already covered with snow. Russian troops could reach Erzeroum, and possibly Erzingan, but not Mush. Bitlis, Harput or Diarbekir. English, French and Italian warships can easily enter the harbor of the Medit- erraneanandthe Aegean, and. if pushed. troops could reach Aleppo, Aintab, Ada ma and Marash on the south, and Aidin, Brusa and Nicomedia on the west Mar sovan might be reached also, but through the whole central tableland of Asia Mi nor Armenians and Greeks would be at the mercy of Turks, Kurds, CireassianS and others embittered by the prospect of ultimate defeat and subjugation. Every effort would probably be made by the government, if it continued to have any existence at all, to protect foreigners, but it is doubtful whether it would be successful, and it is certainly possible that it would leave them to the mob.
 With even the best that can be done, the outlook for the Christian population is very dark Already there is intense suffering.

OOIIIIIB Mohi1e Herald.


 The Birmingham News has gone over to Johnston's side. The situation is as we apprehended it-would be- Governor Oates delay in putting himself before the people as candidate leaves what ap- pears to he a free field for Captain John ston. Yet Governor Oates expressed will Iingness to be governor if the party nom- mated him next year causes other possi- ble sound money men to hesitate to enter the field, lest in the end there be two sound money men brought before the convention. Finding the sound money cause unrepresented, and believing that under the circumstances it will fail of a defender the Birmingham News declares for Captain Johnston. The Huntsville Argus does the same thing. Other sound money papers will follow. The affair is in a nice mess!
