ENGLISH CAVE JEWELLERS.

Evidences Of Them Found In the Region
Made Merry by Robin Hood.
The town of Nottingham is 1874 miles
on low lying ground close to the river
Trent, where floods sometimes occur,
but the rest of the town is built on q
series Of red sandstone hills. 1t is sit
uated on the southeastern fringe Of the
great Derbyshire coal field, and the
historic forest Of Sherwood formerly
spread almost up to the city walls.
Now this forest has. in great measure.
been cut down, and this has reduced the
rainfall, raised the temperature and
rendered the climate of the town drier
and more bracing than it used to be.
The mean annual rainfall is now 25
inches and the temperature AZ degrees.
AS sandstone is soft and easily cut it is
only natural that the early jewellers in
caves came and lived in holes dug in
the hills of Nottingham, particularly
as the forest close at hand was a good
hunting ground where game could be
captured for food.
Bronze and other tools employed by
these early and prehistoric inhabitants
are occasionally found, and the first
name known to have been given to the
place was Snotingaham This in Celtic
means ''the home among the rocks. ;"
Afterward it became one of the towns
of the kingdom of Mercia, and in the
ninth and tenth centuries was one Of
the five chief northern strongholds of
the Danes. Already what is now known
as the Castlehill was strongly forti-
fed position, and it was in his attempt
to capture this fortress that Alfred the
Great was signally defeated by the
Danes. Two hundred years later, when
William the Conqueror in his turn sub
jugated the Saxons, he rebuilt the cas-
tie of Nottingham and placed it under
the command Of his natural son, Will
lia-l Peverel
But it was here also TIA: Saxon re-
sistance continued for mary u long

It shows that they must immediately organize their forces and fight for the control of every state convention, or they will find, when they reach Chicago next July, that the majority of the delegates have been elected upon platforms that declared for free coinage. Four conven- tions have now been held all of them in states beyond the Mississippi. The success of the silvertes In Oregon, Wash ington and Colorado was not surprising, and it is not d.scouraging. But this can not be said of the free coinage vote of 530 to 5 in the Missouri convention, and the presentation of the widest silver lu- natic in the union as that states favor ite son."-New York Evening Post Mug.

will have an era of prosperity In this country beyond the expectations of vis- ionary dreamer.
 Under democracy, as democracy once was we will be again prosperous and happy, and the sunlight of contentment will break in upon the thousands and tens of thousands of homes in the gloom of whose thresholds poverty, misery and distress now keep mournful vigil.
 'The gloomiest day hath gleams of light
 The blackest wave hath light foam near it, And wrinkles through the darkest night
 Some solitary star to cheer it.'
 If I could catch one ray from that bright, particular star that nearly century and quarter ago stood over and shed it's effulgent light upon the manager where pure democracy was born, and dressed in the habillments of popu- lar sovereignty, I should listen for the joyous refrain as it leaped from the hearts and trembled on the lips of 12,OOO.- 900 American voters "peace on earth, good will to men"-a refrain that would be caught up by our children and chill dren's children, and go on sounding down the corridors of time as sweet benedic- tion to generations unborn. Thanking you again for the honor you have done me, l now declare this convention ready to proceed with the work of perfecting a permanent organization.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We. the democrats of the state of Ala bama, in convention assembled, declare our continued faith in the old time and honored principles of the democratic party, and among these principles are the following:
 1. The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to as the standard money of the country, without any dis crimination against either metal and without the consent of foreign nations, as the United States coined silver and gold before the republican party ob- tained control of the government and changed the coinage laws of the country for the benefit of a class and to the in- jury of great mass of the people.
 2. The unconstitutional penalty of 10 per centum on each issue of state bank notes by any state or national bank ought to be repealed.
 It is our purpose to maintain govern ment in this state fair and just to all, under control of the white men of Ala bama.
 The faith and credit of the state must be maintained untarnlshed.
 Our system of public educa tion should be improved and extended so far as the state has the ability, without oppressive taxation.
 We are in favor of honest and fair elections, and we recommend that laws be enacted under which primary cleo tons and other party proceedings for the selection of candidates may be con- ducted.
 We cordially invite all good citizens of this state, and especially all democrats who strayed from the party, to unite with us in an earnest and determined ef- fort to maintain good government in the state of Alabama.
 Let us preserve the dignity and credit and peace, and, if possible, the prosperity of oi1r state

 The article which appeared on the moring of the convention was identical in spirit and almost identical in lan- guage. What was good policy and good sense in March could not become nom sense and treason in April.
 The editor of the State Herald has at all times demanded an unequivocal declara- ton by the convention in favor of free silver coinage. It was well understood that whatever faction won the figh. would wear the crown and dictate the money platform. The convention would have been untrue to the people if it had not expressed the voice of the people. In expressing that voice it did precisely what we suggested, hoped and expected it to do It refrained from any language of triumph, bitterness or condemnation. It did its work we'll, and we feel conscious that the State Herald did a good work in suggesting moderation in the hour of victory. It was a bitter day when the remnant of our army laid down its arms at Appomattox, but there was no humill- alton. Our enemies became our friends, and the late warriors clasped hands as brothers. The courtesy, kindness and forbearance of Grant removed much of the anguish of defeat and led the way ultimately to cordial reunion of the sec tions -s --.
 It would be well for civilians in these piping times of peace to recall more fre- quently the courtesies which prevailed in war.
 Our Atlanta friend utterly mistook the situation, and has done a gross injustice to members of the editorial staff of this paper.

BUSINESS MEN VITALLY INTER-
 ESTED.


 It is indeed a mystery that so large a proportion of the business men-men of affairs and experience--are advocates of the present financial system, when cur rent events should teach an ordinary ob- server that 1t Is destructive to every bus mess interest in the country. and, there fore, to the welfare and prosperity of all the people save only those whose proper ty consists of money itself or mortgages, bonds or other securities, the payment of which may be demanded In money.
 It is safe to say, and we challenge de- nial of the assertion, that there is not today in the United States any business, other than that of the classes last above mentioned, that is experiencing a genuine prosperity unless favored by special con- ditions and circumstances that foster and promote prosperity The proof of this is found in the weekly statements of the leading commercial reporters, Dun and Bradstreet. For weeks and months with rare exceptions, these agencies have been informing the business world that conditions are less favorable for each current week than for that immediately preceding, and their weekly reports of numbers and amounts of business fail- ures in the United States attest the &C., curacy of the information they give the public. Only yesterday Bradstreet re- ported 340 business failures in the United States the current week as compared with PA the previous week and 223 the same week of 1885, while Dun asserted that "prices of commodities are, on the whole, lower than ever before, having declined per cent since April 1.
 And this is the gist of the whole mat ter. Constantly declining prices mean
