Raiment of Our Finest.

The members of the Birmingham police force have donned their new spring uni- forms and it must be said they fit much better than those worn by them during the winter. The cloth is regulation blue and of a firm texture. The helmets look cool and comfortable. The men are also provided with rain caps, which will no doubt prove serviceable during the wet spells.

Mr. Mckinley, as chairman of the ways and means committee and leader of the house In the Fifty-first congress- earn estly advocated the passage of the silver purchase act in 1890 as better than the Bland-Allison act and the next best thing to free coinage, saying of it: We can not have free coinage now, except in the manner provided in the bill To defeat this bill means to defeat all silver legisla- ton and to leave us with two millions month only, when by passing the bill we would have four and half millions month of treasury notes as good as gold"

Secretary Hoke Smith claims that the late illustnious Ben Hill of Georgia was a sound money man. If that were true there are sound money men and sound money men. Ben Hill opposed the de- monetization of silver Secretary Smith approves it. Ben Hill opposed the closing of the hints. Secretary Smith says they should be kept closed. Ben Hill voted for the Bland-Allson act, which provided for large silver coinage. Secretary Smith opposes silver coinage. of any kind. Ben Hill voted that the government should exercise the option of paying government obligations in silver. Secretary Smith favors paying them only in gold.

The Chattanooga Times. although al- ways cranky in the intensity of its op- position to the peoples money, very well says in reference to the selection by the Missouri democrats of Ex-Congressman Bland as their choice for president:
 And no more ideal candidate to be set upon end on a free silver platform can be discovered between the two oceans than MT. Bland. He has fought for the white metal, IS to 1, for more than twen- ty years, in season and out of season. He has fought fair.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.

General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
ings Once or Twice q Year.
Ex-President Harrison, in a series Of
articles on This Country Of Ours in
The Ladies' Home Journal. writes Wig
orously Of the great necessity Of the peo-
pie insisting upon the strict enforcement
of the laws. Directly upon this point he
says: I'VE need general assemblies of
the people in the smaller civil subdivi-
sions, to be held regularly once or twice
a year, town meetings in which two
questions only shall be considered !:
First, are the public officers faithfully
and honestly transacting the public bust
ness? Second, are the laws-not this law
nor that, but all laws--enforced and
obeyed? All questions of law reform
should be excluded, left TO parties or So
cieties organized to promote them. The
enforcement Of the law, whether we OPP
posed or aided the making of it; the
strict accountability Of public officers,
whether we opposed or aided their cleo
ton. should be the objects and the linn
its of these meetings. There should be
no distinction of persons
"Our law and order movements are
too apt to be confined to what we, not
too accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have =
chance to choose his side, without re-
gard to station or wealth or race or col
or. There will be none too many In
some such movements it has seemed to
me that many have been assigned to the
wrong side who would have chosen the
right. There is danger that such may
accept the place they would not have
chosen. Can any working plan be de-
vised to maintain from day to day an
effective watchful interest among the
body of our citizens in the enforcement
of the laws, and in clean, honest adj
ministration Of public affairs-small
and great! Or are veto accept the hu.
initiating conclusion that bad things
cannot be made good, or even better,
until they come to be persistently and
utterly bad; or still worse, that when
the river of popular indignation has
cleaned the stable it is only to leave rs
