Negroes in Alabama.

A significant political step has been
taken by the Democrats of Alabama
due to the factional fight waging in the
party's ranks for the past five wears
Hereafter cOlored men are to be per
mitted to vote at the party's primaries.
provided they pledge themselves to
support the nominees. The Democrats
have in the past rigidly excluded all
negroes from their primaries. The
party has, however, been so split by
the opposition of the so-called Kolk
Democrats that they must now seek
aid from the negroes.
At the election in Alabama MANY
colored, especially in the "black belt, -
voted the Democratic ticket and it is
only right that they should take part
in the primaries.

The inquiry into the methods
of the police in Philadelphia by the
committee of investigation, which is
now taking place, is bringing forth
some startling evidence. From what
we have read in the Philadelphia papers
about the police department there are
a good many men who need term in
Moyamensing instead of being con-
servators of the peace. They have
been in the habit of protecting policy
shops, speakeasies and bawdy houses.
Those officers guilty should be pun
ished to the full extent of the law.
Mayor Warwick complains that the
police are not heard in explanation.

poses a cut Of thirty-three per cent. in

after all, be deep design to give free

Aboard ship.

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro- motive of health. So they are in most cases. But it may well be doubted if the shaking up aboard ship. which people of very fragile constitution and weak nerves get, is not prejudicial If it's effects are not averted or nulli- fled by a medicinal safeguard. The best, if we are to believe the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for health, pleasure or busi- ness, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Inyaiids, commercial travellers, sea captains and yachtsmen concur in rec ommending this fine defensive tonic. So do emigrants to the frontier, the inhabitants of malarious regions, ana all who are opposed to hardship or rigors of climate. For malarial, rheumatic or kidney trouble nervous ness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, it is eminently effica- cious, and commended by the medical fraternity far and near.

Cleveland and the Baseball Manager.

Cleveland and the Baseball Manager.
 After refusing to be interviewed on the third term question by statesmen and press correspondents, President Cleveland has unbosomed himself to a baseball manager. A special to tho Chicago Tribune says:
 Billy" McGuunigle, manager of the Louisville club, is the man who induced the president to talk. Seventeen years ago, when MT. Cleveland was s,rug. gling attorney of Buffalo and a popular man about town, Billy" McGuunigle pitched for the Buffalo team in the national league, and was the star of that season.
 Mir. Cleveland was one of Buffalo's noted admirers of baseball, who attended the games and 'rooted" for the home team. The two men started an acquaintance which blossomed into s warm friendship. The Louisville team reached Washington, and the players took advantage of the oppor- tunity to pay visit to President Cleveland at the White House. When the usher presented Mir. McGunnigle the president surveyed him with a kindly eye, grasped his hand, and ex. clsimed:
 -'Why, Mac, how are you? We have not met in years. So you are managing the Louisville Baseball club now? We'll, l hope, for your sake, Mac that the team wins.
 "rhank you, MT. Cleveland" re- sponded McGunnigle. 'I hope, MT. Cleveland, that Louisville wins the pennant and that you will accept q third term. I know that you would be elected"
 The president, with a deprecatory nod of the head, replied: ''No third term for me. Really, couldn't stand it."
 There is R bond of sympathy be- tween Billy" McGunnigle and Grover Cleveland. The Louisville club is last in the race for the pennant and Cleve- land is at the tail end of the political procession.

He walked around to newly constructed house on the Boulevard Henri Quatre, which had lately re- ceivcd some tenants, and pompously represented himself as the special ar chitect of the board of health, sent to inspect the sanitary arrangements of the new dwellings,. The concierge, deeply impressed by the grand appear ance of the man, and believing in his official character, admitted him to tiie rooms of one of the tenants, who hap pencd to be connected with the Lyons railway. The occupant of the flat was out, as the sham architect took care to ascertain beforehand.
 The sharper sent the innocent con- cicrge Downstairs for measuring rod, and immediately set to work to force open safe, whence he took packet of railway shares and City of Paris lords, amounting in value to over I coo. The safe was firmly closed be- ,orc the return of the concierge, who, usrccting nothing, accompanied the sharper around the apartment. After the sham architect had finished his tour of inspection, he politely departed.

vOLAPUK HAS A RIVAL.
Esperanto Is the Name of This New Uni- versal Language.

Esperanto Is the Name of This New Nni- versal Language.
 Esperanto is not the name of new liquor or of new appetizer, nor that of a comic song bu. it is the name of an artificial language, which is fast gaining adherents in France, and that is already able to Goast of many fol- overs in Europe, ;he United States, and even in some parts of Africa.
 Among those most proficient in the language is a Frcnchman, bearing the aristocratic name of D'Eyssautier. He says that Esperanto is by no means q new language, nor even a recent dis covcry. This international language has been in existence nearly ten years, and there are at least l0,C00 adherents in different parts of the world.
 The author or originator of Esperan- to is Russian gentleman, Dr. Gamen- hof. of Warsaw. He says that one may learn its grammar in an hour, and all its vocabulary of words in a few days.
 The official organ of the language, the EsTcrantisto, is utterly opposed to the volapulS organ, for it has literary tendencies.
 The fact is, Esperanto hopes to de- throne Volapuk altogether. Verses may be written in it, and translations of the Iliad and Hamlet have been pub lished.
 Like all artificial universal lan- guages, the roots of Esperanto are de- riyel fran, the hest known of modern tongucs-English, French and German these offering the least difficulty to students.

Or" said he, ''people might wear breech- clouts for so-called 'decency' sake, or even n single thin garment to keep off the sun. After all, 1t is mere matter of getting used to it."
