qurer-Sun by the local papers of that
state is respectfully submitted for the
consideration of similar journals in Ala
bama that, having grown gray in the
service of democracy, are at this late
day lending their influence to the repub-
lican party:
1.-THE Columbus Enquirer-Sun is one of
the ablest republican papers in Georgia.
1t is exceedingly hopeful of republican
victory and announces three or four
times a day that that party will win
next November. We democrats, how
ever, will show 1t a thing or two when
the returns are all in. We won't give it
a chance to say, We told you So which

in this city last July, a new silver party
was talked of. but headed Off by the

talk and confidently predicted silver
victory in the democratic party. The
Hon. Joseph F. Johnston of Alabama,

the strongest man with the masses in

EVERY DAY PROVES THE WISDOM.

The following from the Uniontown
Herald shows the philosophical way that
all true dyed-in-the-wool democrats ac-
cept the situation:
EVERY day proves the wisdom of the
democracy in nominating Johnston. Re-
Gently several democrats were discussing
the situation. They were from different
parts of the state and all brought good
news. A prominent democrat and a
staunch supporter of the claims of Mr..
Clarke was of the number and after
talking awhile he said Gentlemen it
was great blessing that Joe Johnston
was nominated" a. .-,~

M0NTANA's NEW MOVE.
Trade and Labor to Help Promuleate tho
Silver Doctrine.

Silver Doctrine.
A new organization Is to be formed in
eastern Montana in the interest of free
silver by the Trades snd Labor council of
Lewis and Clarke county, which will be
designated as the Trades and Labor bureau
Of finance. The object of this organization
will be the promulgation of the silver sem
timent by the circulation of silver litera-
ture throughout the eastern states and by
the sending Of silver orators to eastern
cities and towns to enthuse those already
interested in the subject while making
new converts to the white metal The
method by which the necessary funds are
to be raised for this work Is rather novel in
that part of the west, although it has been
adopted In other localities with great sue
cess.
The main idea Of the scheme proposed
consists in the fact that, while the men,
bers of the various trades unions.will be
asked and expected to contribute to this
silver fund, there is an agreement between
them and the business men of the COM
munity that the latter will spend, dollar
for dollar, an amount equal to that contrib
uted by the laboring man. This plan has
succeeded admirably in other portions of
the west, as the unions have in many in
stances voted to give days work for
every I-ember each month in addition to
many voluntary contributions from indi-
vidual members, amounting to q consider
able sum, and every dollar of which has
been covered by the business men accord
Ing to their agreement.
A committee formed of Representatives
from each class-th4business men and the
unions-will have large of the money
thus raised, and it will be expended under
their direction. on.-Chicago Record.

CHAT.

What constitutes a meal Is one of the
questions that New York judges have
had TO wrestle with very frequently since
the Raines law went into effect.
And no two OF them appear to arrive
at the same conclusion. With some
nothing short of a stomach-filling spread
would pass muster as meal, while Others
have allowed that the despised ham sand
wich fills the bill. notice the latest
decision is somewhat in the same line.
A Gotham policeman went into Steve
BrodIe's place al O'Clock in the morning
and called for beer and beef steak.
Steve, you will remember, Is the indi-
vidual who gained certain kind vf fame
by jumping from the Brooklyn bridge.
After that performance he came to
these plantations, and in the Silly hours
of the night, with none but his manager
for an audience, he duplicated the per-
formance of Sam Patch by jumping
from the old paper mill into a deep hole
near the Granite bridge in Pawtucket.

ance simply on the authority OF Steve
himself, backed by the statement of his
manager. You may accept it or not as
you choose.
But that has nothing to do with the
policeman's meal He got his beer all
rig ht and its size appears to have been
satisfactory. 1t was on the beefsteak the
question arose, and the policeman
brought Brodie into court on the ground
that he hadn't served meal while fur
nishing beer, which is a serious infrsc-
tion OF the Raines law.
The policeman explained to the court
that the bsefsteak served him was about
two inc hes square and not much thicker
than knife blade.
Brodie answered that he had hotel
License and under that had supplied the
policeman with as big beefsteak as a
man could desire who didn't have a stom-
ach built on the lines OF that of an os-
trich.
And the court took the same view.
At least the judge remarked that the
law did not lay down any exact measure
ments in the matter OF beefsteak and he
discharged Brodie.
