JAPAN.

Japan is sending her manufactured wares to our Pacific coast in such quan- tity and with such cheapness as to alarm the domestic manufacturers of that sec ton Senator Stewart called the attention of the senate few days ago to the fact that an American agent of a large Jap anese importing house, in the period of u few weeks, in San Francisco, took orders for $500000 worth of goods consisting of buttons, matches, upholstered furniture and many other kinds of merchandise and manufactured articles. As a sam ple of the prices, the buttons were sold for one-tenth the price of the American make. and the Diamond Match company prefers to buy and resell all the matches so great is the difference between the American and the Japanese article in cost. Senator Stewart says the Japs can import bicycles and sell them for one- sixth of the price of the American wheel
 This invasion of the cheap wares of Japan presents a very grave feature It is a formidable enemy to our home labor, and yet, if we stand by the doc Urine that markets should be free to all the world, it is hard to find solution for the problem. What is happening in California will happen all along our Gulf states so soon as the Nicaragua canal is opened, and Galveston, Mobile. BFmng- ham. New Orleans and all the cities of this section will have importations direct from China and Japan. To pay for them we will send out our cotton, and the Orl- ent will very soon demand crop of 20,- OO0 900 of bales. Instead of buying goods from Europe, we will buy them from the Asiatic countries: and the United States, instead of facing to the golden east, will face to the silver west.
 Senator Stewart may as well under stand at once that our people will not inn pose prohibitive duties to keep Japanese cheap goods out of this country.

HON. J. M. FALKNER.

It is gratifying to know that no opposi- ton will be made by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to the pay ment of the special school tax. Col J. M. Falkner, the very able and efficient attor- ney of that road, has advised the pay ment of the tax without regard to the legal questions that might arise as to it's constitutionality. This action of Colonel Fal<ner is deserving of praise. It indi- cates a most liberal spirit on the part of that great corporation as respects the local interests of Birmingham. It is not forgotten that this company paid a tax of similar character in the case of the Cullman public schools, and although that tax was subsequently, declared un- constitutional the public school building at Culman stands a monument to the liberality of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad company. Many of our best lawyers hold that the school tax for this city is entirely unconstitutional, but at the same time it is a matter of con graduation that no effort has been made to test it. The generous course of the Louisville and Nashville, under the ad- vice of Colonel Falkner, is worthy of the imitation of the other corporations, who are assessed considerable taxes under the school law In this connection we desire to express to Colonel Falkner the friendly feeling entertained for him by the peo- ple of Birmingham. While he is an earn est and laborious attorney for his road, he is at the same time one of the truest citizens of Alabama.

THE ROOM TOO SMALL.

The Raleigh (N. CD News and Observer recounts the following interesting incl dent, which occurred in the office of the late Judge Thurman:
 After the disaster that befell the par ty in the Greeley campaign the discour- agement and disgust were such that dis ruption seemed imminent. In Ohio a movement to declare the democratic par ty officially dead and to build another party with new name took shape There was a meeting of prominent democrats, who were ready to launch the new party, but before making the formal announce ment it was decided to send committee to see Judge Thurman and to secure his co-operation. He received the committee in his little unpretentious 10X12 office, heard them patiently and after they had finished heir long statements, arguments and predictions the old Roman sat for a while apparently lost in deep refiec- tion When he came to make known his position he did not reply to anything that had been urged, but dismissed the sub feet and the committee with this reply: 'Gentlemen, this room is too d-d small to break up the democratic party in The delega tion was offended, withdrew launched their new party and saw it die like a flower wits in the sun.
 t'Four years later the democratic party elected a president and carried the house of representatives by an immense major ity, justifying the wisdom of MT. Thur mans memorable reply"

is unfortunate, because there is and has been fight made in our grand old state for the restoration of the true princl- pies of democracy and this has been opposed by such Journals as the Adver- dser and the Register and by such men as Bob Moseley and Wallace Screws. No such conditions could possibly arise except as to inculcate the doctrines of Cleveland and Sherman, and bring per- petual strife and division among the white people of Alabama, for it is a well known fact that harmony prevails in Mississippi and South Carolina, where the party has remained true to her prin- clples and has not been led off by the high priests of the golden calf. Hence we think it would be extremely unfor- tunate should MT. Clarke ever consent to be made tool of by the free-booters Of democracy, and we trust that he will ponder well before acting" '

orous demands for Hon. Richard H. Clarke to set aside his extreme disincli- nation and enter the field (nominally to save the party, but actually for the sole purpose of trying to defeat Captain Johnston, at the imperious bidding of the Montgomery Advertiser and few oth- ers) have not yet grown so deafening in their vigor as to seriously effect the dem ocratic tympanum. They seem to mate rialize a little slowly, albeit blank peti- tions were thrown rather broadcast. Per haps they are germinating.

 Cottondale, Dec. 20-(Special Core spondence.)-The new depot building at this place by the enterprisng Alabama Great Southern Railroad company is rap idly nearing completion. It will be neat and substantial building and cost $3000. Although this has been a regular station for years, and regarded as a strong shipping point, this is the first de- pot ever built in the town. It will cer- tainly be great convenience to the travelling public, and J. c. Patter- son, the popular agent, will appreciate his comfortable and elegant quarters.

Fully Able to Stand Alone.

Captain Johnston's "boom" for gov- ernor though not yet grown, has whis- kers and is fully able to stand alone. That it is giving certain parties great concern is an evidence that it is backed by a very strong following.

The Signal for an Open Fight.

Says the Tuskaloosa Gazette:
 "The Hon. Richard H. Clarke is get ting good many calls from the sound money press from different parts of the state, and the indications are that he will stand for the democratic nonina- tion for governor. This will of course be the signal for an open fight in the par ty which will result in weakening the lines, it matters not who Is placed at the head of the ticket and those who have been 'spiling' for fight within the party to strengthen it will discover that the fight is on to the bitter end and a fight to destruction"
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-22
Reasons Galore.

As matters now stand, the Journal favors Captain Johnston for governor for twenty valid reasons: He would make a good safe governor; he deserves 1t; we like him; the other seventeen req sons it is not necessary now to mention. Fort Payne Journal.

The Montgomery Journal says: Tt is going to take the combined effort of sound money and free silver democrats of Alabama to defeat the republican, populist combination next year.
