TRIBUNE LOCAL. OBSERVATIONS.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-05-25
HISTORICAL.

General Lee said at the reunion at Houston that the Encyclopedia Britan- nica does the South an injustice in it's summary of the history of the United States. One error the Encyclopedia Bri- tannica falls into is in saying that Cal houn was the author of the doctrines of nullification Dr. Curry in his history of the South shows that this doctrine was first advocated in New England He quotes from a speech delivered by Ho- ratio Seymour in public address in New York as follows:
 The first threat of disunion was ut tered upon the floor of Congress by Jo- siah Quincy, one of the most able and distinguished sons of Massachusetts. At an early day MT. Hamilton, with all his distrust of the constitution, sent word to the citizens of Boston to stop their threats of disunion and to let the gov- ernment stand as long as 1t would. When our country was engaged with the su- perior power, population and resources of Great Britain, when it's armies were upon our soil, when the walls of its cap itol were blackened and marred by the fires kndled by our foes and our union was threatened with disasters, the lead ing officials and citizens of New Eng land threatened resistance to the mili- tary measures of the. administration. This was the language held by con- vention of delegates appointed by the Legislatures of three of the New Eng land States: "In cases of deliberate, dangerous and palpable infractions of the constitution, affecting the sover- eighty of State and liberties of the people, 1t is not only the right. but the duty of such State to interpose for their protection in the manner best calculated to secure that end" This covers the whole doctrine of nullification.

LOOKING AFTER THE NEGRO.

The philanthropists of the North have sent an expert to the colored institute at Tuskegee to investigate the food con- sumed by thefnegroes. The great mor- tality among the negroes has alarmed their friends in the North. These phflan- thropists have heretofore devoted their efforts to the education of the negro: now they will turn their attention to his sanitary and hygienic surroundings
 Mortuary statistics show a much high CT death rate among the negroes of the South than among the whites. In Bir- mlngham the death rate among the ne- groes is 21 per thousand, and among the whites 10 per thousand. In Charleston, 5. C., one-third of the colored popula ton died in seven years. The mortality was 50 per thousand. In New Orleans the death rate among the whites is 22 per thousand, and among the blacks 35 per thousand.
 These statistics show that it is well worth the while of philanthropists to look after the physical we'll being of the negro, as we'll as his mental training. One cause of the large death rate among them is due to their careless manner of living. Consumption is now prevalent among them, and carries off it's thou sands of victims every year; whereas consumption was seldom known among the negroes before the war. Slave owners were very particular about the health of their negroes, for a stout live negro was worth good deal more than a dead one. So they gave their slaves the best medi- cal attention, and gave them good whole some food, good houses to live in and warm clothes. Since the negro has had to look out for himself many have be- come careless, and must pay the penalty of such disregard of the laws of health. Negro boys will loaf around the streets in dead of winter with nothing over their chest and shoulders but a calico shirt.
 It will be observed from the statistics that there is not such a large mortality among the colored people of Birmingham as of other Southern cities.

s1LvER,s TRUE FRIENDS.

The Memphis convention declared in unmistakable terms it's friendship for silver. Surrounding the precious metal by every safeguard of government con- trol, it offers an absolute defense of its value at home and abroad Sections one and five of the declarations of principles are as follows:
 1. Believing uniform and certain stand commercial and industrial development and prosperity of our common country, we favor the maintenance of all our money whether gold, silver or paper, on a parity to the end that each dollar. whatever may be its composition, shall have equal pur- chasing and debt-paying powers with every other dollar.
 5 We favor the retention as part of our money of the silver now coined, and In or der to give a wider field for the use of silver we favor the funding of all money other than silver and silver certificates below the denomination of s10 into higher denomina- tions, so as to make our entire circulation below the domination of S10, either silver or silver certificates, and to this end the Secretary of the Treasury should be au- thorized by law to coin fror' 'fnoe to time as the people may require tn arfr-silver dol- lars until the demand of commerce for money below the denomination of $l0 Is at all times satisfied
 This is true and genuine bimetallism.

THE PREsBYrRR1ANs.

The Southern Presbyterian assembly at Dallas passed very cordial resolutions of fraternity toward the Northern as- sembly. This is the first year the South ern assembly has taken the initiatory step. At Nashville last year the South ern assembly, at the invitation of the Northern assembly, refused to appoint committee of conference with a view to organic union. This action was very unsatisfactory to a great many in the Southern church, even of those who do not desire organic union at present. They felt that courtesy required the appoint ment of committee of conference at least. The Dallas assembly seems to have resolved the matter to the satis- faction of all parties by passing a reso- luton relieving themselves of any such suspicion of discourtesy. Whilst nothing was done directly in the line of organic union, it is believed that this will help the cause. It is probable that a major ity of the church are ready for union whenever they feel that local Southern conditions are recognized by the North ern church. The assembly took action looking toward the establishment of a separate colored Presbyterian church. If the Northern church will cooperate in this matter it seems that the union will be hastened

A True Hero

Is the individual who smiles with ap- parent cheerfulness during an attack of rheumatism. "h such there be" we never met him or her. An agonized grin is the nearest approach to cheerfulness of aS- pect we ever beheld under such circum- stances. But when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has repelled-as it certainly will -the earlier attacks of this formidable disease, the quondam sufferer has good reason not alone to smile, but to give vent to hearty guffaws interspersed with frequent chuckles. To the removal of dyspepsia, malarial and kidney com plaints, constipation and disorder of the liver, the Bitters is especially adapted It renews failing strength and appetite, and counteracts the infirmities of age. When facilitating maladies are succeeded by tardy convalescence with a'danger of relapse it accelerates a gain in vigor and flesh, and tends to re-estab- fish health on lasting basis. Give it a suitable trial.

Accident to an Outing Party -Housekeepers
 in Dilemna-A Quiet Wedding.
 Huntsville, May 23.-(Special Corre- spondence.)- Jon Tuesday afternoon as MT. Peyton Powell, Jr., was driving a mule hitched to a wagon containing himself and Misses Jennie, Hattie and Fannie Powell to Meridianville an acci- dent occurred which proved serious to them, though it could have been much worse. By some means a bolt holding up the shaft worked out, letting the shaft drop This frightened the mule and he began to run. All three of the young la dies jumped from the wagon, receiving ugly wounds. Miss Fannie Powell sus- tained confusion on the head which caused concussion of the brain from which she suffered very much; Miss Hattie Powell dislocated an ankle and Miss Jennie Powell was seriously bruised, though fortunately no bones were broken. The driver had his face badly scratched
 Considerable commotion was created here this morning among housekeepers when a number of them found that the Water Works company had cut off their supply of water. The custom has been to notify them of their indebtedness to. the company, allowing ten days in which to make payments. It seems that at the end of the present quarter new assess ments had to be made, and the notices were delayed somewhat in reaching GUS toners, hence the cutoff.
 MT. Burns, a well-known citizen of this county, living on Meridian pike, died yesterday and was buried this morning.
