The advent of Mr.. Rountree is mat
ter of Generalization to this community
and to himself. He has owned and for
years edited most successfully the Hart
selle Enquirer one of the best weekly
papers in Alabama. He is a young man
of energy, intelligence and enthusiasm
of high personal character and pubic
spirit. He has a big opportunity In nav
ing charge of the State Herald. 1t oughs
to be an influential and profitable news
paper and the. News sincerely hopes 1t
may be both under the management OF
Mr. Rountree, whom 1t welcomes cor
daily to Birmingham and birmingham
journalistic circles.
The promotion under the new manage
ment of the State Herald of Mr.. Theodore
H. Vaughan to the position of business
manager of the News morning contena-
porary is merits recognition, as tardy,
however, as it is deserved Mr.. vaughan
was in the business office of the Age
Herald during all of its multifarious
Kaleidoscope transformations and has
been with the State Herald during its
short career, and he knows everybody
and everybody knows him, and to know
him is to like him, for Mr.. Vaughan is
ever courteous, loyal and true, and peo-
pie have wondered why he was not put
in the lead down stairs" long ago.
Here's the News best wishes for you,
Mr. Business Manager Vaughan.-Bir-.

received. It would be returned to the
bearer, with the admonition that such an
Invitation, to be considered, must be
couched in respectful terms. A paper,
conveying imputations of an insulting
character, is against the rules of proprie-
ty and cannot be received or noticed, un-
less the bearer be called to account for
bringing such message.
I'VE judge that Captain Johnston must
return Mr.. Goodwyn's communication
through q friend, with the suggestion
that the proposal for a Joint discussion
be relieved of the offensive matter which
precedes 1t. And If Mr.. Goodwin really
wants joint discussion he will eliminate
all such passages from his paper and ask
for 1t in the style of a gentleman, which
a gentleman can with self-respect and
proper regard for his party consider and
accept.
IF, on the contrary, he does not pur-
sue this course, but persists In accom-
panying his call with partisan arraign-
ments that cannot be submitted to with
out humiliation, it will be potent to the
public that he does not seek joint debate
but proposes to bully and bluff out of 1t
by assuming a position of insolencs that
he knows cannot be countenanced or toll
Grated by Captain Johnston or any other
man of character and breeding"
Regarding the first proposition in Good
wyn's letter to Captain Johnston the Ad-
vertiser of yesterday had the following,
among other things. to say.
1.-THE Advertiser printed yesterday
morning letter written by Hon A 7.
Goodwin on the 9th instant to Capt Jo-
seph +. Johnston. Captain Goodwin in
this letter submits two propositions to
Captain Johnston, one that they shall
join In "a petition to the county appoint
ing boards, asking that the two contend
ing parties be represented among the in
spectors of election at every polling place
in the state;' and the other that, as cand-
dates of opposing parties. they canvass
the state by Jointly discussing on equal
and fair terms the issues of the day. The
first proposition is based upon most IL
belous arraignment of the white people
of Ala bama as ballot box suffers,
couched In the harshest and most often
sive terms, and Is unworthy of notice by
Captain Johnston,
In reference to the second proposition
contained in the letter the same paper
says:
with respect to the second proposition
that is, that Captain Johnston and Cap
tain Goodwin, as candidates of opposing
parties, canvass the state by jointly DIS
cussing on equal and fair terms the is
sues of the day-that is another and en-
tirely different matter The Advertiser
believes, for many reasons, that good
would result from such a joint canvass,
and we hope to see it inaugurated"

The chairman of the senate committee
on finance has notified Secretary Car
Isle of the passage of the PETER resolu-
tlon to investigate the bond sale. Mr..

that the investigation would necessarily

Says the Huntsville Argus: Mr.. Good
wyn has addressed communication to
Captain Johnston in which he has made a
bad break. In this proposition he as
sumes that all the county officials Of the
state are lot of swindlers and destitute
of any fairness and honesty. His letter
to Captain Johnston is offensive in the
extreme Mr.. GOODWIN in this letter does
not rise to the dignity of ward politi-
cian.' 1t seems to have been gotten up

Mankato News: Hon. Dan Shell,
the politician from Worthington, was
wearing brand new silk hat last
night and people wondered where he
got it. He arrived in town with a
straw 'dicer." His friends did not
like its appearance and bought him
the elk one which he is now wear
ing with great dignity. The straw
one he tossed into the Minnesota
river.

The dividing line which runs
through the democratic party is be-
coming sharper every day. The prob
ability of bolt, participated in by
the greatest democratic states, is
growing almost to certainty. It
makes no difference, however, wheth-
er there is formal bolt. The mem
bers of the party will bolt whether
their states do or not.

disgrace to any low resort, to have au

of warning assaulted in an inhuman
manner. If there had been words of
libelous nature spoken, there is a
recourse for the agg rieved, but this
party usurped the law and inflicted
bodily injuries upon a law abiding
citizen who had merely expressed
his views publicly which are also
the views of numerous other promi-

Some one at Mankato had given him
the hat and dared him to wear it to

From the present indication the

the defeat of the Democrat party this
fall which insures republican victory.

The nominations for state officers
made by the Republicans at St.Paul
last week, fulfilled the expectations
and the desires of the people at large
and is considered wise selections.
The most notable one being that of
Governor Clough, whose defeat was
sought by the shrewdest political
schemers of the state, assisted by a
combination formed and composed
of his opponents, but the peoples will
prevailed and their choice will again
come before them for deserved sup
port, Gov. Clough made.a speech Of
acceptance, stating that he had en-
deavored to serve the people faith
fully and we'll, and in the best inter-
est of the state, which he has done
and not denied.
: BY his overwhelming majority his
opponents should be convinced that
he is the unanimous choice of the
people comprising the Republican
party. With this fact before them
they will undoubtedly gracefully &C.
cept the choice and assist in the
election of Gov. Clough with as
much ambition and energy as they
displayed to secure their own nomin-
alton. Those who so vigorously op-
posed Gov. Clough's nomination
should not be rebuked for the stand
taken, the malicious attacking
parties are in such small numbers
that they are of no particular i'm
portance.
The election of Gov. Clough is pre-
dicted with an increased ratio of ma
jority compared with his majority in
the convention.

Without exception, every demo-
crat with whom the writer has con-
versed on the subject has declared
that he will vote for Mckinley if the
Chicago convention comes out for free
silver. This has ceased to be a party
or political question. 1t is a matter
of national safety and self preserva-
ton. Patriotic men of all parties
must unite and make common cause
against the firebrands who would re-
duce the fair fabric of national integ.
rity to heap of dust and ashes And
no class of citizens understand this
more thoroughly or is reader to act
upon this principle than the better
element of the Democrat party.-Pio-

The commercial or open market ra
ito of gold bullion at the present time
is about to 81. In other words, it
takes 81 ounces of silver to purchase
an ounce of gold. The free silver
coinage proposition practically
amounts to this: That man possess
ing Is ounces of silver can take it to
the mint and get it coined into
enough legal tender money with
which to purchase an ounce of gold.
The government would coin about so
cents worth ofsilver and call it dol
lar. For every so cents worth of silver
he would get dollar of value by TAX
ing it to the mint. The governments
stamp would be expected to double
the price of his merchandise. It
would do so nominally, but how long
could it do SO practically? Would
not the actual effect be to drive gold
out of circulation and reduce the pur-
chasing power OF all other money,
made by law redeemable in silver, one
half? And would not the cash value
of gold7 What proportion of de-
posits add savings are in gold. Com
paratively, very little. The savings
banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, ETC., could legally satisfy |
their creditors by paying them in le-
gal tender, and would no doubt be OBJ
liged to do so, as under free coinage
gold could only be obtained at pre-
MUM. Free silver coinage at the Is
to l ratio by the United States alone
is thus simply proposition to scale |
down savings, deposits, investments,
pensions, salaries, and all incomes
about one half.-MinneaDOl Tribune |

in their weekly review of trade say:
ut is now the middle OF May. too late FOR
business to change materially until the
prospects Of coming crops are assured and
definite shape has been given to the presi-
Dental contest by the conventions. Until
the future is more clear there is a prudent
dissemination to produce much beyond or
ders or to order beyond immediate and GER
tain needs. II this waiting spirit prevails
two months longer, 1t will crowd into the
last half of the year an enormous business
If the outlook then is good. For the present
there is less business than year ago,
though in some branches more. and the de-
lay following months of depression is to
many trying, and causes numerous fall
ures. Speculative markets are compare
lively inactive, but the stock market IL
stagnant.
IAN attempt was made to manufacture
excitement in cotton out Of the govern
ment report, but the price cloSedA exactly
as il began last week, and the port receipts
have been actually larger than last year.
Wheat is unchanged in spite of ell ruTnors.
The volume of domestic business, though
large in some branches, is represented by
payments through clearing houses 1873 per
cent. smaller than last year. The railroad
earnings have been for the first week Of
May 3.S per cent. larger than last year,
showing trifie better than the returns for
April.
The most fortunate of the chief in
dustries at present is the boot and shoe
manufacture, which is not only shipping
to customers within six per cent of the
largest number Of cases ever forwarded in
the first of May, but is getting many new
orders, and there are many urgent requests
to anticipate orders for June and July
delivery, indicating that distribution to
consumers has outrun expectations. Prices
are unchanged at the lowest average yet
reached, but there is a rather rapid adj
vance in hides at Chicago and leather be-
gins to stiffen little. The iron and steel
industry on the other hand is pronounced
as dull as 1t ever has been in its whole
at Pittsburgh, in part because of doubt
about the maintenance of prices recently
advanced, and the demand is so small that
in spite of such advances prices average
IL per cent. lower for the week. Sales of
wool have been little larger the past week.
The large drives in clothing have cleared
out stocks of some ready-made concerns,
but check new business and the general
disposition is to postpone orders as far as
possible.
Failures for the week have been 22s IN
the United States, against 211 last year,
and 90 in Canada, against 81 last year."

District of Minnesota, has sent his
resignation to the president.
William Lochren, of Minnesota, was
nominated to be United States district
jrdge for the district of Minnesota,
vice Rennslaer r. Nelson, resigned.
Duluth, Mimi, May 16.-There was
considerable surprise in the United
States court Friday over the retirement
of Judge Nelson. He was in the midst
of a trial when he astonished everyone
by dismissing the jury, adjourning
court, and announcing his retirement to
private life. Judge Nelson is one of the
Oldest judges in point of service on the
federal bench, having been appointed
nearly 40 years ago.
Washington, May 16.-The Minnesota
senators interpret the dispatch an
nouncing the resignation of Judge r.
f. Nelson, of the Minnesota district, as
mere request for retirement, rather
than an absolute resignation from the
bench. This is the natural supposition
because Judge Nelson has served the
requisite number of years and on
Wednesday of this week reached the
age of 20, at which he may be retired.

settlement and formal discharge of the
old Northern Pacific receivers, Thomas

Delegates Instructed for Mckinley
Synopsis of the Platform.
St. Joseph, No., May 1S.-The repub-
lican state convention convened here
Tuesday. The platform adopted de-
mands return to the republican pol
icy of protection and reciprocity; OPP
poses the free coinage of silver, and ia
yors the use of silver as currency to the
extent only and under such regulations
that its parity with the present gold
standard can be maintained. 1t eulo-
gizes Mckinley and instructs the dele
ates from Missouri to the national con-
vention to vote for his nomination for
the Office of president.
Inc convention was characterized by
one of the most bitter. faction fights
ever experienced within the party ranks
in Missouri. Chauncey 1. Filley and
Richard G. Kerens led the respective
hosts for control of the state machine.
The result of the battle proved COM
plete victory for the Filley faction. The
contest continued until after midnight.
It was 1:25 when the first candidate for
delegate to the national convention
was nominated in the person of Chaun-
cey I. Filley, who was nominated By
reclamation amid perfect tumult. To
add to the honor conferred upon him
he was also unanimously elected chair
man of the state central committee.
