than will be considered at this meeting. Montgomery and Mobile are alive to the interest of their cities in this matter. In fact the entire State has been aroused on the subject of creditable display of Ala bama's great wealth at the Atlanta Expo sition and it behooves Birmingham to be up and doing also.
 Birmingham has probably more at stake than any other city in the State, and for this reason her citizens should feel the greatest interest in this exhibit; not only this, but they should determine that the world shall see just what claims Birming- ham has for the industrial supremacy of the South. Never before has there been so favorable an opportunity for her to do this, and our people must be alive toits value. Let every business man who can possibly do so attend this meeting, and Bir- minghanl will receive such an impetus from 1t as will be difficult 10 estimate.

FOR the last three quarters of century it has been the policy of the Demoeratic party to coin silver, says free silver ex- change. It is well that our contemporary did not go buck beyond that period. The Democratic forefathers of the first quarter of the century stopped the coinage or silver dollars. The free silvertes must give up the founders Of the Democratic party and swear by so-called Democratic statesmen of later date.

DEATH RECORD.
BEN GWINN HARRIS.

BALTIMORE, April 5.-Benjamin Gwinn Harris died at his home at Leonardtown yesterday of paralysis and pneumonia. Harris was picturesque character of southern Maryland. He was born.in 1805, graduated from Yale and early in life took active interest in politics. Originally a whig he joined the democratic forces dur ing the Tyler administration. MT. Harris represented his district in congress during the civil war. His well-known sympathy for the southern cause more than once caused excitement on the floor of the house. The expression in a speech, "I pray God you may never subjugate the south, '' caused the late James A. Garfield to move his expulsion from the body. The course of MT. Harris in the democratic convention which nominated General Mcclellan for the presidency, in knocking down New York delegate who insulted him, is too well known to need repetition. Mir. Harris was anchored on the fundamental princi- ples of states' rights and would not to his dying moment give up his convictions.

SEVERAL weeks ago there was war in the meat market in Birmingham. The big meat companies, with their branches in Birmingham, tried to crnsh out the home packing company. The Commercial club and the citizens generally rallied to the support of the local packing company. Now the reward has come. While meat has advanced rapidly in other cities, the home packing house keeps il within reach in Birmingham. By utilizing home raised cattle they mako the local market inde- pendent of the Northern and Western mar. kets. Every town in Alabama should have its packing company.

COMMENTING on the position of the silver market, the London Times says that, al. though the free speculators in silver on the likelihood that tho cessation of the war be- tween China and Japan will bring large demand for the metal may have to wait longer for the desired result than they imagine, the idea is certainly well founded. This, the Times thinks, in addition to a general belief that the coming conference will assist silver, is the principal cause of the advance in price. It is not likely, how ever, that these causes would be effective if it were not for the fact that the production of the metal has been restricted by it's re- cent cheapness. The Times believes that silver wss too cheap at z8, and that, not caused by speculation, the conditions of supply and demand justify it.
 THE Department of State has just re. ceived a report from Consul Quincy c. Eckford at Kingston, Jamaica, announcing the defeat of the customs tariff laws amend. ment introduced Into the legislative council of Jamaica in February last. One leading feature of the measure was an increase of the duties upon those articles almost ex. clusively imported from the United States Tho Governor in his annual message to the Legislature said that the withdrawal of the United States from ths reciprocal ar. engagements with Jamaica and the reimpo. sition of the duty on sugar would leave tho colony free to restore to it's tariff some of the sources Of revenue abandoned under the reciprocal arrangement of 1891. An at. tempt was made to reiGpose these duties, but the newly elected members defeated tbe project, Grd the consul thipko 1t will not be renewed.

Reproduction of It to Be Erected Close

CHICAGO, April s. -Property owners in
Lake View, on the north side, are more
put out than ever. Besides having the
Ferris wheel erected in their midst. they
are now to have the Cairo street of the
Worlds fair reproduced.
George Pangalo, protector and mans
ger of the Midway feature, has never
left Chicago since the great exposition
closed; and the dream of his life seems
to be to repeat the triumphs of 1898.
When he heard that the Ferris wheel
was to rise into life again at North Clark
street and Wrightwood avenue, and that
the courts had confirmed its right to do
SO, he saw at once the opportunity of a
lifetime to revive the Street in Cairo as a
Reighbor and joint attraction to the
wheel.
The site selected for it is the block
bounded by North Halsted, North Clark
and Wellington streets, and Oakdale
street extended. The Wellington street
front measures $50 feet, and 3O0-foot
front is desired on North Halsted street
There will be the quaint buildings, the

Ter, the burros, the camels, and the Be-
douin, the dancing girls and the mnsic.
