HON. A. B. McEACHIN.

The State Herald learns that Hon. A. B. McEachin of Tuskaloosa will be pressed to fill the chair occupied by the late Hon. A. c. Hargrove in the law de- partment of the university. We hear that the local bar at Tuskaloosa are al most a unit in indorsng MT. McEachin for this place. MT. McEachin is one of the ablest lawyers in Alabama, a force ful speaker, and has a peculiar aptitude for imparting information. He has been faithful in service to his state in war and peace, and has not sought political hon. ors that he eminently deserved. The State Herald hopes that the trustees will make this selection. and it predicts that MT. McEachin will win new laurels in this chair.

THE SUGGESTIONS ADOPTED.

The suggestions made in the State Herald of yesterday that the manufac- turing committee of the Commercial club proceed to put it's plan in operation, so that a start could be made for a steel plant, appears to have been acted on by that committee, as a call has been made for joint meeting of the real es- tate and manufacturing committees at the club rooms tomorrow afternoon at 3:3O o'clock.
 The city council acted last night by appointing Mayor VanHoose as one of the committee provided for at Monday evenings meeting, and thus the move ment has the countenance of our city government. which should give it in- creased force and interest, and nowif our property owners and land companies will come together as requested by the chairmen of these two committees there should be something tangible brought to head. and no doubt there will be some thing done. The meeting tomorrow af- ternoon is therefore one of more than ordinary interest. Birmingham must have a steel plant. Her future develop ment demands it, and now let those who are interested in Birmingham proper take the initial steps, and the mill can be built What a glorious era will dawn on this people when we can show to the world that we have taken the matter of building our one great enterprise into our own hands, and with that spirit of determination which has never known defeat. There should be such an answer to the invitation to attend tomorrows meeting on the part of our property own CTS as their interests in the development of Birmingham call for, and if that is the case Birmingham will have steel plant almost before we are aware of if

 great deal of farm work is being done-very much more than usual. The air is full of smoke from burning brush heaps, and blows are seen on every hand turning over the soil for another crop.
 Several car loads of horses and mules have been sold in this market during the past month. Some ignorant people are already jumping to the conclusion that the above fact is a pointer in the direc- ton of another big cotton crop, but the simple truth Is that the farmers of this county have a surplus of money and corn, so they spend their money for something that will eat up their corn. It's easy enough when you look at 1t right.
 The Montgomery Advertiser may rave it's fiercest over the action of the Perry county executive committee but the democrats here are serene, If not happy. They don't expect any flood of populites to come in at the door left open for them. but their conscience is clear in the mat ter; and when the Advertiser gets to the point of having any conscience at all, clear or cloudy, in political matters it will be joyful day for the democrats of the state.

Exceedingly Tiresome.
Says the Huntsville Argus:

Says the Huntsville Argus:
 'The democrats of Alabama are hearti- ly tired of the selfish struggle to scare up some one who will submit himself to the use of the Montgomery Advertiser for the sole purpose of defeating Capt. Joe Johnston, in the party path or out of it; for this is most assupedly the tenden- cy and meaning of its persistent effort now in active progress. The significance is this, so far as a common sense inter- pretation can be made: Johnston must be defeated for the nomination if possi- ble. If not for the nomination let the re- suits of an internecine democratic wran- gle take care of themselves. This is the just and ultimate analysis of the course of these anti-Johnston malgnants They call out in the name of President Cleye- land, while it Is in fact some selfish, hid away, personal god of their own that they are worshiping. MT. Cleveland is far above the need of their pretentious defense. No one is assailing him. It is in the hands of a republican congress alone to defeat his wise financial policy. The Advertiser is nothing short of par ty blasphemer when it pursues so ven- omously it's rule or ruin course in Ala bama in the name of the president It has grown to be exceedingly tiresome."

The Selma Mirror remarked the other day that 'the great greed for office and the longing desire to satisfy ambition are the chief causes of strife in the dem ocratic camp in this state." The Bir- rningham State Herald quotes this ap- proyingly And yet Captain Johnston and our two senators. with their greed for office and their consuming ambition, are the sole causes of the party strife that has been precipitated in Alabama. - Advertiser.
 If the Advertiser has any redeeming traits--true, some think 1t has none--it is it's invariaple rule never to advocate any one who wants office or has ever held or asked office. The fact that Colonel Oates was three times a candi- date for governor and seven times can didate for congress and then wanted to go to the senate deprived him of the support of that paper. The fact that MT. Clarke has been five times candidate for congress and now aspires to the Tinted States senate shuts him off from the support of the Advertiser Once can didate or in office you become in the Ad- vertiser's estimation a disturber of the political peace of the party and utterly unworthy of it's support.

Fg T 7szT STATE PRESS ECHOES.
"Wet Rag B


 The Montgomery Advertiser is now | red-hot against the Perry county demo- cratic committee. That committee &C., cording to this self-appointed expounder of democratic proprieties, has had the audacity to say that in the Perry pri- maries the ballot should not be denied any eleetor who declares he will support the democratic nominees. The Adver- User makes bold to assert that this whole Perry county business is in the interest of Captain Johnston. Poll the commit tee" 1t exclaims, ''and the last one of them will be found for Johnston" Wherefore 1t grows red in the face and | denounces these Perry county people for casting a firebrand into democratic ranks, while at the same time they are holding out a wet rag to their enemies. D
 Such is it's spite against the eminent citizen of Birmingham that the dear old creature spits fire every time his name is called.
 It counsels an immediate revolt against this Perry county home rule doctrine According to the ancient ethics of this able and esteemed" democratic director the state executive committee must dic- tate terms; the county committee mustn't open its mouth-and 1t must simply bow in obedience, and mind how it waves "the wet rag" whatever that may be.-Shef- field Standard.
 III loS4 capt. Joseph F. Johnston took his defeat like a patriotic democrat He never fiinched. He never sulked He prove himself a man. He went home from the state convention with his hopes and ambitions crushed for the time with disappointment, but with no sacrifice of manhood, principle or self-respect. He went from his home into the thickest of the battle and fought for his more for tunate and successful opponent. His praise was then on everybodys lips He was democrat. Not only was he a dem- ocrat, but he was patriot. His friends accepted the arbitration of the ballot in the primaries and conventions. They accepted it in good faith, believing, as was then voluntarily promised, "We will go for your man next time" The "next time" has come. They present a clean man, with a clean democratic record. Il man who has always been a democrat, always loyal to the party, to his people, to his friends. and ask that he be nom- mated and after his nomination support ed with all that earnest zeal and enthu- siasm with which they supported Oates two years ago They not only ask this of the party; they demand it, and they demand it as right as just debt and an honorable obligation that the party should discharge. e.-Montgomery Journal

Look out for the Birmingham State Herald td go into ecstacies over the pres ident's message. It is very anxious to turn tail in it's fight on MT. Cleveland, and this foreign matter will afford it a brilliant opportunity.--Mo Ad- vertiser.
 The wish is doubtless father to the thought The State Herald is by no means desirous of turning tair' on any position 1t has taken. It has been given no office or refused any place at the hands of MT. Cleveland. We are free to com mend him when right and condemn him when wrong. There Is no postofflce blinding us to the presidents faults and no disappontments to prevent our see ing his virtues. It is certainly happy position to occupy. What would the Ad- vertiser give to occupy just such an un- enviable position?
