Winter is not so far gone but we find reminders of it still. The white "snow balls" that adorn almost every lawn remind us of the days when snow balling was the favorite pastime. The falling of the white plum blossoms sug- gest the falling snow The delicate tracery on the window pane made by the hand of Jack Frost we find duplicated in shrub and flower. The icicles gleam- ing in the sun are brought to mind by the dewdrops sparkling on every blade of grass. Here in he South in every sea- son we find traces of the previous sea- son. Nature changes her form of ruling the earth. but never works @ revolu- ton.

Senator Morgan is reported to have said that if the Democratic party in AL abama does not adopt platform in fa- yor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver it will be swamped by the Popu- lists. If we judge the future by the past such will not be the case. The Repubii- cans. Jeffersonans and Populists, all combined on this issue in the last cleo tion, and yet they were defeated by Cow ernor Oates sound money man. The prospect is that these three factions will not hang together in the next election. The Republicans have settled their diff ferences and will run regular Republi- can ticket Many of the Jeffersonians will come back in the Democratic fold. These men did not leave the party on the money question, but as a protest against unfair elections and bossism The Populists seem more concerned about their pet the- ories than about the money question. All abama and Arkansas come first in the list of States, and the Democratic party in both States has successfully withstood the assaults of all sorts of combinations and will be the last to surrender to the. single silver standard.

It was proposed to the Ladies' Auxil- iary of the Commercial Club that they include in their exhibit for the Atlanta Exposition a specimen of Birmingham woman. This was said in spirit of gal lant facetiousness, but we must admit that nothing would so interest the for eigners who will visit the Exposition as ' typical American woman. The foreign CTS who visit America are more pleased with the American woman than any thing else they see, and almost invariably try to take one home with them. The American woman grows up in such free dom, such disregard for conventionali- ties that she develops all her nobler and sweeter traits. She is the flower of wo- manhod of the nineteenth century She has the fragrance of the wild flower. as compared to the hot house plants. This freedom from restraint and reliance upon self is so different from the bounds and limits that circumscribe woman in old countries, that the foreigner is bewil- dered, fascinated. entranced.

If the 16 to i silver fellows force gold to premium the laboring man would be paid his wages in silver, the cheaper mon- ey. Employers always manage to pay their men in the cheapest currency. They very often find a way to force their em- ployes to accept checks on the commis- sary stores. So prevalent did this injus- tice become that it required legislation by the last Legislature to regulate it. Laborers do not prefer cheap money. but they have no choice. It is almost matter of necessity for them to take such money as their employers offer them, for they have no other resource. It is very natural for employers to pay their op- eratives in the cheapest money, where two standards prevail. Some fifteen years ago ths country was full of trade dollars, which were worth 90 cents. Many employers paid their work men in this appreciated dollar having bought it in the market at the prevailing discount, and thus robbing the laborer of his just earnings.

he WAS CRAZY.

Some excitement was created on the
streets at Reno Wednesday by report
that man named Don A. Merrill,
working for ]. M. Flanagan at sheep
camp northwest of Pyramid Lake near
Winnemucca Valley, had killed two
Basque sheepherders named Joe and
Jose during a row at the camp. G. W.
Pearl and John Linton arrived from
that part. of the country We Inc lay
morning at an early hour and told what
Merrill had reported to them. On Sun
day he told them in mysterious way
that there was trouble brewing, but
gave no details. The next day Merrill
came into camp and gave them knife,
simply saying that it was what he had
done the deed with, but would not say
anything further. His actions were
strange and he seemed to be terribly
afraid of something and asked Pearl to
allow him to sleep with him that night,
for he had not slept since the crime had
been committed.
Finally Pearl persuaded him to tell
what he knew and he said that on Sat
urday during row at the camp he and
John Benoist had killed the two sheep
herders, Joe and Jose, and that he was
afraid that Benoist would kill him so as
to keep the killing secret.
Tuesday morning Merrill was quieter
and the men advised him to come to
Reno and see the officers. During the
day they decided to follow Merrill and
see If he arrived here, so they rode most
of the night, arriving here yesterday
morning. They had not seen Merrill,
but Joseph Odett of the Junction House
said he had seen him and he was acting
like wild man, his horse covered with
foam and ready to give out. Odett con-
cluded the man was crazy, and az long
as he was headed toward the more set
tied part Of the country thought it best
to allow him to proceed.
Pearl and Linton reported the matter
to Mr.. Flanagan and Sheriff Caughlin.
Mr.. Flanagan did not take much stock
in the story, but the men were very pos
tive, and he and the Sheriff started out
Wednesday to look into it, and il Mer-
rill had become insane they intended to
bring him into town.
Wednesday afternoon Merrill appear
ed at j. J. Becker's ranch in the eastern
part of the valley, perfectly nude and in
frenzed condition. The men there
took him in and furnished him with
clothing and brought him to town. He
was placed in jail, but his conversation
was rambling and incoherent and he is
in terribly excited State.
Sheriff Caughlins returned from Pyr-
amid where he found the sheep-herders
alive and well. Merrill was examined,
pronounced insane and committed to
the Asylum.
A story is now told that Merrill was
in love with one of Benoists daughters
aid that his unreciprocated love had
turned his mind. He believed that
Bencist was instrumental in separating
his daughter from him. When he first
spoke Of the crime to Pearl, he said
Benoist had an awful power over him.

man, and 1t is not probable that one
ever will. No one man knows it all.
The principles of all political parties
have been builded by concessions AMI
compromises, representing IN part the
opinions OF the entire membership Of
of the party.
The populists regard with complacency
the increasing probability that President
Cleveland will be reno8. .nated by the
Democrats, on single standard gold
platform; they say that the silver Dem
ocrats would them go over to them.
The Republicans are so confident of
winning that they are apparently indif-
ferent to everything but their own strug-
gle over the naming of their candidate.
There are several surface indications
that the lobby is going to be plentifully
supplied with money during the coming
session of Congress. Already the officers
and attorneys of corporations which ex-
pect to be interested in legislation are
dropping into Washington and making
themselves acquainted with the new
Members as they turn up. Among the
the corporations represented may be
mentioned the Pacific Railroads and the
Pullman Palace Car Company.

Our Washington correspondent says:
President Cleyeland's obstinancy. back
bone, or whatever you may choose to
call it, is neither affected by party vic-
tories nor such crushing defeats as those
administered to his party last week.
He knows nothing and will learn moth
ing OF the doctrine of give and take
which is SO familiar to politicians of all
parties. He is perfectly willing that
the democratic party shall get together,
provided he can stand still and that the
other fellows will swallow their opinions
and meekly take their places behind
him. He refuses positively to give up
the smallest part of his opinion for the
sake of party harmony, but insists that
those membereof his party who differ
with him shall give up all theirs and
accept his. Men who place their ad-
miration for Mr.. Cleveland above their
party allegiance call this bravery, but
mark the prediction-before the coming
session of Congress is sixty days old it
will be publicly called bullheadedness
by more than one democratic wheel
horse and nobody need be surprised il
it eventually brings about that much
prophecied permanent split in the dean
ocratic party. No political party in this
country has ever succeeded when com
pletely dominated by the ideas Of one
