Subscription Price of the Daily Reduced to
 Six ($6) Dollars Per Annum.
 The State Herald management, appre- extended to the paper by the people of Alabama and other states, and especially grateful to the business men of Birming ham for their very liberal support during this season. hereby announces a reduc- ton of the subscription price of the Daily State Herald for 1896 to six ($6) dollars per annum delivered free by mail or by carrier
 Thus the State Herald becomes the only daily morning newspaper in Ala bama which meets the demand of mod ern journalism, placing itself in easy reach of every reading man. woman and child in the state.
 This reduction in subscription price does not mean a decline in the general excellence of the State Herald. It is the purpose of the management to steadily improve the paper in every department and make it invaluable as daily visitor to Alabama homes and business offices. In announcing this reduction the State Herald. which already enjoys the largest circulation of any newspaper in Alaba- ma. confidently expects large increa se in it's number of readers, at home and abroad, because we realize that Ala bamians are an appreciative people. who always respond literally to the invitation of enterprise and progress.
 This reduction in price carries with it the necessity for a strictly cash system in the subscription department: There fore our patrons will be expected to pay monthly, quarterly. semi-annually or an- nually in advance, and will not become offended when cut from the list for delin- quency.
 Our rates for 1896 are as follows: Daily State Herald per month.....$ 30 Daily State Herald per quarter. ... 50 Daily State Herald, per annum.. ..... % Sunday State Herald alone. per an-
 num...,.. .......... .............. % Weekly State Herald, per annum. m.... % Remittances can be made by express, postoffice money order or drafts at cur rent rate of exchange. Address,

HIS SEDAN.

The Berlin paper, the Vossiche Zei- tung, describes the Venezuelan incident as President Cleveland's Sedan, and asks what would happen in the event of the whole of Europe, with the possible excep- tion of Russia, being compelled in Its own interest to take sides with England in a war against the United States.
 In reply to which we would ask what would happen if the United States and Russia should conclude that Grandma Victoria and her grandchildren are not all the world. If the combined powers of Europe should attempt to come over here to bother us, we would give them a diff ferent reception to that given General Campos and his Spaniards by the Cu- bans.

ator. Even such a republican journal as the New York Mail and Express says:
 This much seems to be perfectly clear The president and his late secretary of state certainly exceeded their powers in agreeing to the lump sum demanded by Great Britain. According to the consti- tuition the president cannot bind the United States in an executive covenant with a foreign power. except with the consent and cooperation of the United States senate. Senator Morgan severely but justly reproves the British ambassa- dor for his insolent criticism of remarks made in congress on this subject. and in conclusion clinches his able argument with vice-like logic by showing that the utmost rightful claim of Great Britain amounts to S96,102, instead of over $500,- 900. or $425. .000 as conceded by Mir.

Wall street was opposed to President Lincolns proclamation calling 5000 men into service when the rebellion broke out, and for some time the talk of the same men was for taking New York city out of the union. The opposition of Wall street to President Clexeland's measure to protect the Monroe doctrine is not an exceptional event in it's history.

In 1880 Gen. Horatio Wright sounded the alarm as to our want of a navy, and very little has been done since then to diminish the dangers which formed the burden of his complaint. He said For eign nations have naval stations within a few hours saif from the American shore. Immediately upon the declara- tion of war these fast war steamers could appear at any one of the American ports and pass the present batteries with ease. The navy could not avert such a danger, and no rapid concentration of troops could prevent the burning of the seaport thus attacked by explosive chot o

A Vienna dispatch says: President Cleveland is in no small measure respon- sible for the ruin of hundreds of capital ists in Austria. The Turkish and Abys- sinian troubles had shaken the Vienna money market to it's foundation, but the New York panic gave it it's coup de grace, from which it will take months to re- cover In Saturdays panic on the bourse prices receded byleaps and bounds till they reached figure lower than for years past" We are sorry for Austro- Hungary, but if Europe doesn't want panics the powers must make England cease her grabbing game.

The Public Prosecutor.
READER.

To the State Herald:
 The people of this county heard with astonishment and sorrow that Hon.
 James A. Little, because of protracted i'll
 health, has resigned the office of county
 solicitor, whose duty it is to represent the state in all criminal prosecutions, and from MT. Little's known ability and per
 sonal courage much was expected in the
 interest of law and order from vigorous and brave prosecution of crime.
 All law-abiding citizens are interested in the manner in which this most inn portant office shall be filled. Mir Little's successor ought to be a good lawyer, a man of learning and ability, of great viz or and dauntless courage There are many cases of felony of a grave charac- ter on the docket of the criminal court Some of the defendants are men of in fuence, able to command the best talent in their defense and by their numerous re- tainers to influence witnesses and jurors. No tyro can hold the field against them. Respect for law and order, the enforce ment of the law, the subordination to the law of all the people depend more upon | the public prosecutor than upon any other official. The people ought to be | heard from; the tax-paying, law-abiding people ought to take action in this mat | ter This Is not an office to go by favor. It is one of grave importance. LEX.
