CRESCENT CITY RACES.

NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-Threatening weather served to detract from the attend- auce at the races today, and only fair crowd was present.. slight shower fell before the races were over, but it was ot of sufficient weight to have detrimental eff feet upon the running. The talent put their money up with every degree of confi- dence in the horses which were made the favorites by the book makers, and fell down on three of the five events.
 First race, five furlongs, selling-Chenoa, no (Penny), to 1, won; Herkimer, 107 (J Reagan) 4 to l, second; Maquon, 107 (H. Shieds), g to 2, third. Time, 1:05b.

FIAT MONEY.

That eloquent but cratic young Nebras- kan, MT. Bryan, gave Nashville audience a heavy draft of free silver fiat money talk just after Colonel Mcclure had told them of the value of an honest dollar. The Nash- vile Banner takes occasion to point out the fact that young Bryan is an infiationist in the following pointed remarks:
 MT. Bryan of Nebraska, in his very enter taining address at Watkins Hall Saturday evening, challenged the statement made by Col. A. K. Mcclure at the same place three nights previous that the silver do liar was sus- tained at q value nearly double it's bullion rat ing because 1t was taken in exchange for gold by the government. MT. Bryan gave the true reason for the superior money value of the silver dollar over it's metal value the legal tender quality giver it by the government.
 When this conclusio n is reached the point is touched to which he teachings of Mr. Bryan s school of finance invariably lead-that is, fiat money. If the government by simply invest ing the silver dollar with legal tender quail ity, endows it with a purchasing power double Its intrinsic worth, why should metal so dear as silver be selected for the purpose? Why have any metal coinage at all2 Mr. Bryan in this declaration places himself on the platform of the greenback infiationists.
 It is strange that MT. Bryan did not recog- nize the inconsistency of this statement with the free coinage peoples contention that the existing silver dollar is not money. The elo- quent young Nebraskan went to some trouble to endeayor to prove that the treasury state- ment concerning the amount Of gold in the country was an overstatement and he dwelt with emphasis on the alleged evil of a condi- ton that furnished such a slender basis for a money supply, yet in declaring that the silver dollar is independent of gold in its purchasin g power, he made the S6o0, 1000. .oo0 of silver currency basic money in itself, and as that is many times much silver money as the country ever had before all his arguments about the evil that has come to ''demonetiza- tion' at onco fall to the ground.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
And Its Effort to Have a Big Meeting Here Next Month Proving Successful Capitalists qs
 in the City,

From all present indications the meetfn g of the commercial clubs of the state in this city April will be an affair of much greater magnitude than is supposed by the average person.
 The call of this meeting is being an- swered daily by numbers of clubs all over the state, and every one so far has agreed to send representatives.
 Yesterday Secretary Thompson received answers from three clubs, all of which ex- press wishes of success to the meeting and commend the move.
 CAPITALISTS IN THE CITY.
 Secretary Thompson and other officers of the club put in the day yesterday showin g several northern capitalists around the city, and pointing out Birmingham's re- sources. These men compose a party who are looking over the south with view to- wards establishing large industry, which would add much to the Magic City, and were favorably impressed with everything. In fact, they were more impressed with Birmingham than any other southern city. {.
 SECRETARY RoUNTREE.
 Secretary Thompson of the Commercial club has received the following letter from Secretary Rountree of the Alabama Press associations:
 HARTsELLE, Ala. March II, 1895. MT. N. F. Thompson, Secretary Commercial Club, Birmingham. Ala.-
 DEAR SIR: Your letter of recent date 10 hand and contents noted. l am glad that you have acted upon the suggestion and have called upon the mayors and editors to be present at the meeting of the Commer- cial association at Birmingham on April 9. l shall send personal letter urging as many newspaper men as, possible to attend the meeting. You can count upon me do- ing all in my power, both personally and through the columns of my paper, to make the movement of Alabama being repre- sented at Atlanta grand success. think that it is of the utmost importance that the people of Alabama lend the Atlanta exposi- ton their most energetic cooperation and make the utmost possible use of an oppor- tunity such as we have never had before of advertising to the world the magnitude, variety and incalculable richness of our re- sources.
 Allow me to congratulate you and your Commercial club for the enterprise you are displaying in this movement, which is to be of lasting good to the state of Alabama. Enclosed you will find a marked copy of my paper, the Enquirer, and you will see the interest that am manifesting in the movement. Command me when 1 can serve you. With much respect I am

NAME A TICKET OPPOSED TO THE LIQUOR
 rRAFFIC--THE OPPOSITION.
 ATHENS, March 12.-[Special Corre- spondence. l-The citizens meeting at the court house yesterday at p. no. to nomi- nate a ticket for mayor and councimen who were opposed to the liquor traffic in Athens came nigh failure as to numbers, but sufficient to make a nomination under the statute. Colonel Tanner explained the object of the meeting, and Dr. Hawkins, president of the female college, opened with prayer, asking for divine aid in sup pressing the liquor traffic throughout the land and country.
 The following ticket was offered and unanimously adopted, to-wit: Il. B. Ma lone, mayor; K. B. Mason, k. M. Rawls, Dr. Mack Logwood, Roy Smith, c. w. Raisler, John B. Tanner, Pine Rogers, Andrew Tillman, councilmen, and Silas Hine, marshal.
 These gentlemen were nominated with out pledge to any policy or question, and left free to act for the best interests of the town and community, as their well in- formed judgments indicate in keeping with their oaths of office.
 Subsequently, caucus met over the Gem saloon and another ticket was agreed to, composed mostly of the old board, who favor license.
 After careful canvass not sufficient number for mayor and councilmen could be found to form ticket who are opposed to the liquor traffic-a bad showing for prohibition in s'Ciassic Athens,o the city of hurches and schools.

BASEBALL IN WINTER.

About the only way to play the national boiled down to the Limitations of the en- closure provided the hines participated. But when one man gives pantomime imi- tation of the great outdoor sport, as Ezra Kendall does in his funny play, IA Pair of Kids,'' that puts another light on the game-the footlight. MT. Kendall's base- ball act, as it IS called, is as much looked for whenever he appears as the long whiskers on Rip Van Wrinkle. It is so thoroughly original and perfect as to defy imitation. h the character of the old stjay' Mir. Kendall initiates the catcher in all his work behind the bat, from seiz- ing "hot balls'' to the proverbial kick with the umpire. The hundred and one of these odds and ends of cleverness are what have made LA Pair of Kidsp the oldest and funniest of all laughing plays. It will be seen at the opera house on Friday next.

PIEDMONT FLASHES.

PIEDMONT, March 11.-lSpecial Corre- spondence. Hast Saturday night the local dramatic talent of our little city was brought out in very creditable man ner, the play being "Uncle Jack,'' very Imaginable comedy in five acts. The young ladies and gentlemen did handsomely, and were nearly as much at home as told stagers.o The house was full aud hand some sum was realized for the new parsou- age for the Methodist church. With a little cultivation Piedmont could soon fur nish some bright particular stars in the theatrical world.
 The farmers of this sections held con vention here last Saturday and resolved not to use guano unless they could buy it for $16 per ton. They also resolved to reduce the acreage in cotton this year.
 The meeting was largely attended and was very harmonious.
 WilIard's comedians appeared at Will liams' hall last night. i

private position that paid him more in a year than the Governor's salary for two years. But the opportunity to serve his fellow citizens and posterity, the honor that would rest upon his children, caused him to make the pecuniary sacrifice. The course of Holman in Congress showed that bis mind was always running on money. Every bill that came up appropriating the governments money to some great purpose found in him ready objector. Instead of pursuing this picayunish policy why didn't he advocate some measure that would save the people millions of dollarsP Such a measure as the name of William L.. Wilson is allied with.

RESUMES ITS SITTING AND IS FORMALLY
 OPENED BY THE EMPEROR IN PERSON.
 BERLIN. March 12.-The sittings of the Prussian council of state were oponed at 10 o'clock this morning by the emperor in person. The emperor in his speech open ing the council said: 'The continued un- favorable condition of agriculture makes it the duty of my government to seek ways to increase the yield of farming and of avoid- ing the dangers to which the farmers are exposed. The livelier the discussion of their distrust grows, the more numerous fundamental proposals become for warding off and remedying it and the more careful you ought to be iu examining these pro- posals. 1 have therefore called the council of state together and augmented it's num- bers by the addition of men of principle and scientific Knowledge. expect from the council practical results. lexpect that the proposals greatly differing from one another will, through debate, be brought to a condition of possibility, and so form a valuable basis for the further discussions of the government. It will be satisfactory to me if, without damaging other inter- ests, remedies for the depression of agri- culture shall be found. o

Iosr A GooD CUSTOMER.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Aftcr many years of dissatisfaction over the prices of coal exacted by the Panama Railroad com- pany from United States wharves, the . navy department has declined to have further dealings with that concern, and will secure coal supplies from another source. Heretofore navalkresses at Colon were obliged to get their coal from the rail- road company at $11 per ton. The navy department protested that this rate was ex- orbitant and contended that the fact that the United States government kept vessels at Colon to protect the company's property was additional reason why the price should be reduced. The company refused to lower the rate and Secretary Herbert has decided that hereafter United States vessels that would otherwise coal at Colon shall go to Cartagena for the purpose. Cartagena is only days run from Colon, and the de- partment has Inade arrangements to obtain coal there at $5.50 per ton.

HONOR NOT MONEY.

Hon. W. $. Holman of Indiana was re- tired from Congress at the last election, after having served in Congress for thirty years. He knows that his public life is now ended, for he is over 70 years old. He has gone back to his little farm, and his porting words have a tinge of disappoint- ment. He advises young men not to enter politics, for ''it does not pay.'' "I leave Congress poorer than when I entered it., '' he says. This is an admission that he sought office for the money there is in it. This is totally different idea from that which prevails iu Alabama. Men accept office for the honor there is in it, and the opportunity it affords them to be of service to their fellow men. Alabama had a Gov. ernor not go very long ego who resigned a

ANNEXATION,

The present revolution in Cuba revives a discussion of the Monroe doctrine, and brings to mind the fact that the United States is doing nothing in the line of &C., quiring new territory. Yet, since the days of Jefferson Uncle Sam has looked with a wishful eye upon the great island, which nature intended we should possess. Jeffer- son, Adams, Monroe, Polk and Buchanan all yearned for it, but of late years the Cuban question has been silenced.
 Since 1888 England has acquired the fol- lowing islands in the Pacific: Gilbert group, thirteen islands; Ellice group, five islands; Union group, three islands; King man, Banning, Washington, Palmyra, Jarvis, Christmas, Starbuck, Maiden , Vostok, Flint, Penrbyn, Dudosa, Rule, Coral, Gardner, Johnston, Danger, Su- waroff and Carolina islands. While Amer ican missionaries, sailors and commerce have been familiar in the Pacific islands in the last half century, no attempt has been made by the United States government to annex any of them.

A PLATE GLASS COMBINE

THE LATEST TO BE SPRUNG ON LONG
 SUFFERING PUBLIC.
 CHICAGO, March 12.-What is believed 10 be the evolution of the Pittsburg Plate Glass company to go into trust controll- ing all of the plate glass companies in the country began today in the purchase of the properties of the Diamond Plate Glass com pany, the great western rival of the eastern concerns. Colonel Conger of the Diamond company presided over a meeting of the stockholders at the Grand Pacific hotel to- Pittsburg Plate Glass company for the purchases. The proposition was accepted aud the board of directors was authorized to close the eale.
 Though declining to give the figures in the transaction, Colonel Conger said that the investment in the Diamond company represented 8 ,000, ,000. The company has some valuable gas holdings in the Indiana fields and operates factory at Kokcmo and another at Ellwood, Ind, employing g at the present time 1900 people.
 For several years the plate glass interests had a strong combination u or trust on prices and kept prices up to profitable margin. A year ago all the factories were stocked up with glass and the dull times brought about big slump in the trade. h an ef- fell to piecas, and ever since a sharp com petition has marked it's trade.
 The Pitisburg Plate Glass company rep resents he largest capital in the old com bine and is endeavoring to secure control of the trade by direct purchase of all plants. With ihe capture of the Diamond company the others are expected to follow.
