THE WAY IT LOOKS.

The Washington Post. which is exceed ingly independent and fair in its way of looking at public events, now admits that the free coinage democrats will control the Chicago convention.
 It cites the action of Oregon as show ing the direction of the wind. It adds that Missouri goes for free coinage like a prairie fire. U. s. Hall has been making the administrators fight out there. He was turned down in every county, includ ing his own. Josiah Patterson has had a taste of the same medicine in Tennessee, and now Hon. R. H. Clarke of Alabama has been led like lamb to the slaughter.
 Senator Palmer comedies Illinois to the free coinage men. Voorhees, comedies In- diana, and Brice says only vigorous fight and finances can save Ohio from go- ing in the silver column. Indeed. 1t looks like everything is going one way. says the Post.
 There will be S94 votes in the conven- tion. exclusive of tho territories. The
Birmingham state herald., 1896-04-19

 Certainly Georgia, Virginia and Wash ington will go for free coinage, which will mean fifty-eight more votes, or to- tai of 562 in the convention.
 The free coinage men having control will adopt the majority rule and will control the convention absolutely.
 If the democrats nominate a silver man on a free coinage platform,'' says the Post, "the silver republicans will vote for him. This is the opinion, at least of Senator Dubois of Idaho.
 "'Who would likely be such a candi- date?' the senator was asked
 '' 'Boies of Iowa. was the reply. He would be satisfactory to the silver men; he has made a good executive, and his candidacy is now being pushed In vigor- ous fashion
 - And would you support him? ' I do not see how I could do otherwise. The silver republicans of the west, find ing nothing in their own party to com mand their support and not caring to fol- low after all the isms and wild notions of the populists, would vote willingly for the man who honestly represented what is to them the supreme issue of the day. I would go further, and say that I be- lieve that such a candidate on such a platform would be elected" "

been known universally and all the time as Captain" Johnston. Clarke's friends made the fatal mistake early In the ac- tion of calling him "colohel," Now, col onels in Alabama are as common as cow tracks and as thick as flies in fiy-time. A field hand can be colonel. There are colonels yanking pfow lines over the ter minal facilities of cotton mules; coIoneIs who wield their trenehant and bloody blades in the village barber shop; col onels who black your boots, who wait on the table, who mend umbrellas, who grind scissors, who sell bug eradicators or Holdfast glue, and renovate old hats. To be colonel, therefore, is to be simply one of the common herd, to be merely one of the things that God made Col generic term as animal, creature being. It is a title that belongs in common to all animated nature, like the air we breathe. There is no distinction in prac-

tice between those who were born col onels, those who achieved colonelcies and those who have had coloneIcies thrust upon them. To start the gold standard candidate out in this campaign degraded by the title of colonel was a cruel wretohed. damnable piece of folly and Colonel Clarke did not deserve such, even at the hands of his foes, and still less at the hands of his friends. That the people of Alabama would forego the opportunity to elect the only living cap- tain in the state, no man acquainted with human nature had right to ex- pect. His title placed him at once in unique position. It coupled his fame with a novel, pleasing and really distin- gushing appellation. It removed him from the common herd separated him from the vast army of homemade mili- tarists. There is something genuine In the sound of captain. The man who gets his military title from the country news paper or from his favorite barber is nearly always a major or colonel. When you hear man called captain, you instinctively believe that he has right to be so called. While we hail the election of Captain Johnston and the de- feat of Colonel Clarke, therefore, as a signal victory for free silver coinage. we must admit that the result would have been more in doubt if the title commit tee of the gold men had not SO miserably mismanaged their business. The peo- pie of Alabama are weary of colonels and have resolved to degrade them to the ranks.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS OUT.

Here is an item in the New York Iron Age which carries the deepest sgniti- canoe to the possibilities of the Brming4i ham iron district
 "It is announced that the Carnegie. Steel company, limited, has decided to tear out the Bessemer mill in the Home stead Steel works, built only a few years ago. In it's place will be erected sixteen basic open hearth furnaces of fifty tons capacity each. When these have been completed the above plant will contain one 12-gross-ton, six 20-gross-ton, eight 25-gross-ton, five 35-gross-ton and sixteen 50-gross-ton open hearth furnaces. All the finished products at Homestead will be made of basic steel"
 Here is noted the determination of the greatest steel manufacturing company in the United States to devote itself to the manufacture of basic steel the prod uct for the manufacture of which the Birmingham furnaces are now supplying the Carnegie company with low silicon Iron.
 There would be great future for this iron district even if the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railway company, or any other concern, should fail to embark in the same enterprises that have been decided upon by the Carnegie company; but Bir- mingham has it in her power now to clinch assurance of a future of more splendid possibilities than the most san guine dreamer of southern industrial ad- vancement has ever pictured. It will come with the manufacture of steel by the basic open hearth process. The Car negie company is hastening to change it's vast plant with that view. They can undoubtedly do great deal by the time Alabama steel gets into the market Yet that is a question of but a short time. Then Pennsylvania steel and iron man. ufacture will begin to wane, while Ala bama steel and iron manufacture will wax. With the growth in countless forms of metal goods manufacture here will be progress in other manufac curing lines, notably in cotton goods. This state is bound to get the biggest share of the transfer of New England cotton mill in terests to the south, not to speak of new and independent investments.
 With live and let live financial policy on the part of the general government Alabama's future commercial greatness will surpass that of any state in the union.

 Without an exception that part of the press of the state which advocated the candidacy of Mr. Clarke for governor has accepted the situation gracefully, and each paper will give the ticket the very best support it can render. One thing that can be said truthfully of the democratic press of Alabama is that it Is democratic to the core. The papers fight hard for their respective favorites until the party speaks, and then they are all for the nominee. We are going to have a regular old-tinre democratic victory this year, and those papers that supported Mr. Clarke are going to do their part in bringing it about anfu
 The New York Herald says. There is but one way of salvation for either party, and that is to declare unequivocallyi for the gold standard" Or, on this .legie, if both declare for the gold standard both will be saved. Wall street and it's organs want both parties to do that very thing, making it as simple as paying your money and taking your choice. Wall street managed the thing in 1892, but it Is different in 1896. This is the year for free silver. The republicans may strad- dle, but the democracy is going to voice the convictions of the great majority of the American people with an unequivo- cal free silver platform.

The State Herald seems to have done Colonel Tompkins an injustice in refer ence to the plank in the platform of 1892 indorsing MT Cleveland, in that 1t stated that Colonel Tompkins was not the au-. thor of the plank, but Governor Watts It seems that Colonel Tompkins did offer the original resolution indorsing Mr. Cleveland in the subcommittee and that it had clause also stating in effect that MT. Cleveland was the choice of the dem ocrats of Alabama for president. This clause was struck out in the sub-commt- tee. Colonel Tompkins and Governor Watts voting to retain it and Captain Johnston and the two other members of the subcommittee voting against it. There was a motion to reinstate the clause so struck out before the full com mttee, and it was again voted down, and the committee reported the resolu- ton without the clause. This is the rec ollection of Colonel Tompkins and Cap- tain Johnston, and the State Herald is glad to make this connection.
