ONE of the Mobile delegates to the com mercial convention pledged 5000 for Mo- bile county, "but,' said he, "Mobile will get only the usufruct of the advantages to flow from the exhioit.'' He meant that the exhibit would induce capital to come to the mineral district and develop coal mines, etc., and that the only advantage Mobile would reap would be in shipping this coal and other products. But does the pro- ducer make more money than the comnlis- sion merchant? Is there greater profit in production than in commerce? It IS an open question. Certainly Mobile has grown rich from it's commerce. The wealthiest cities in the United States and in the world are those that stand at the gate ways of commerce and handle the produc- tions of others. The cotton platter con- tends that the commission merchant makes more profit than he does. Birmingham digs coal and Mobile handles it. We have no doubt but that Mobiles clear profit is greater. Certainly there is greater accu- mulated wealth in Mobile. It will not do for Mobile. to fall behind Birmingham in her contribution to the State exhibit, and plead as an excuse that she will only get the "usufruct.

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEw said in Chicago, Gin the South the sentiment is very nearly unanimous for adopting the silver basis" This is bold statement, and lacks the es- sential element of truth. Upon what hy- pothesis does MT. Depew reach this con- clusion? From what source does he draw his information for such reasoning? He has not been through the South and talked to the people, and hence can only judge in a general way. If he takes the newspapers of the South he will find that nearly all of them advocate honest money-in fact, it can be said that all of the leading papers are found in line on this side with the excep- tion of the Atlanta Constitution. If he takes the elections of last year as criterion he will find that the governors and other state officials elected are for souud money. So are majority of the Congressman. The most rabid free silver candidates for Con- gross were defeated. The action of the Ala bama Legislature in voting for gold bonds certainly does not indicate that this State is ''unanimous for adopting the silver ba- sis.' But MT. Depew is joker, and must maintain his reputation.

THE Montgomery Advertiser, in giving the names of the delegates to the South and West Grain and Trade Convention which meets in Mobile to-day, says: "This con- vention may do much toward increasing Mobiles shipping interests, which inci- dentally promotes the trade of the Alabama river and gives Montgomery an all-water route for the export of cotton and other products, and the import of coffee, sugar, tobacco, cigars, bagging and ties and other merchandise. The steam mboats have already the past season carried thou sands of bales of compressed cotton to Mo- bile for export, and it is only question of time and facilities when very large pro- portion of the receipts will go the all water route to foreign ports.'

SPLIT ON THE SILVER QUESTION

FAyoRs A LATE CONVENTION.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Before
leaving for his home in Philadelphia,
Chairman w. F. Harrity, of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, said:
For my own part, think we can
well afford to wait until the meeting
of the Republican National Committee
which will probably be held early in
January next, in order to determine
whether the Democratic National
Convention should precede or follow
the Republican National Convention.
"As to the date of the convention" :"
continued Mr.. Harrity, 81 believe it
should be held as late as is consistent
with the campaign work to be done. A
convention held in the beginning of
July would only mean nominal cam
paign of four months and an actual
campaign of less than three months.
The preliminary work essential to the
proper conduct of the campaign need
not of itself cause unnecessary agita-
tion or tend to unsettle business"

BRITAIN PREPARING FOR WAR.
Its Mediterranean Fleet Is Being
Strongly ReinfOTcs d.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The political
outlook in the east became more crit
ical and complicated during the lat
ter part of the week. The Sultan
seems to be defying the powers in be-
slowing decorations for good SER
vice" upon the Turkish officials who
are held responsible for the recent
outrages in Armenia. The British
Mediterranean fleet near the Dardi-
nelles is being strongly reinforced.
Italian warships are said to be ready
to assist those of Great Britain in an
emergency, and the division of the
French fleet which cruises in the Le-
want in winter will start for those wa
ters Immediately, a month earlier
than usual.
1t is not astonishing under the cir
cumstances that the stock market
closed very fiat to-day, that the con-
tinental bourses were in a panicky
condition, and that there was gen
eral decline in foreign funds.
Every indication points to the fact
that the affairs of Turkey are APP
preaching a crisis and it is signifl-
cant that only two solutions of the
difficulty are discussed by the Euro
pean press-the entire dismember-
ment of Turkey or the deposition of
the Sultan.
The powers are now showing that
they will no longer be hoodwinked by
the Sultan's promises, which are new
er intended to be kept.
The final stage of the diplomatic
pressure was reached when Germany,
Austria and Italy, which had hitherto
stood aloof joined the other powers in
a menacing note which has Just
been presented to the Sultan. The
next step will undoubtedly be con-
ference of the representatives of the
great powers which will discuss not
merely the administration of Armen-
ia, but the fate of Turkish Empire.
The powers are in complete unison,
and this fact is grasped everywhere,
except at the Yildiz Kiosk, for the
Sultan in appointing the HALL Rifat
cabinet, composed of puppets and re-
actionists, is simply courting ruin.
