LINCoLN'S PRoPHESY

see in the near future a crisis ap- preaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in @ few hands and the republic is destroyed. l feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever be- fore, even in the midst of war.

NOT READY TO SURRENDER THE LIBERTIES FOR WHICH THEIR FOREFATHERS SHED THEIR BLOOD. WE BELIEVE THAT LIB ERTY AND SELF F-GOVERNMENT ARE DESTINED TO REMAIN THE TON THAT WE SHALL NOT BE "A TED TO BECOME A LIVING LIE, A NATION OF SLAVES, CALLOUS AND DEGRADED ENOUGH TO WEAR ON LY THE MASK OF FREEDOM.
 WE HAVE ALLIED AGAINST US IN THIS CONTEST NOT ONLY THE FINANCIAL FORCES OF EUROPE. BUT THE SUBSIDIZED PRESS AND ALL THE MONOPOLIES AND TRUSTS HERE AT HOME, WHO ARE DETER MINED. IF POSSIBLE. TO FIX FOR EVER THEIR RELENTLESS YOKE ON LABOR FOR ALL TIME.
 ITO OPPOSE THEM WE MUST RE- LY UPON THE PATRIOTISM AND HE RolC MANLINESS OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE-THE TOILERS WHO CRE- LATORS ABSORB. WITH UNLIM- TIED MONEY IN THEIR HANDS, OUR ENEMIES ARE PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTING MISLEADING AND UNTRUTHFuL STATEMENTS; HIR- ED SPEAKERS AND EMIssARIEs ARE EVERYWHERE ATTEMPTING TO MISLEAD AND DELUDE THE PEOPLE.
 ITO MEET AND COUNTERACT THIS WE MUSE DISTRIBUTE DOCU- MENTS FOR THE DISSEMINATION OF THE TRUTH; WE MUST EEK PLoDE THEIR FALLACIES. THEIR MEASUREMENTS AND THEIR UT TER SELFISHNESS. TO DO THIS WE NEED MONEY AT ONCE, AND CAN ONLY HOPE FOR HELP FROM THE PLAIN PEOPLE.
 WE ASK ONLY FOR THE NECES- SARY MEANS TO CONDUCT A VIG- OROUS AND AGGRESSIVE CAM PAIGN. NO MATTER IN HOW. SMALL THE CONTRIBUTOR, LET THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY AND NA- TIONAL HONOR CONTRIBUTE ALL THEY CAN TO THE GOOD CAUSE. TO THE OVERFLOWING TREASURY OF THE MONEY POWER WE WILL OPPOSE THE ACCUMULATED OF FERINGS OF THE MASSES. FIGHT ING TO BE FREE, AND ASK THE RULER OF THE UNIVERSE FOR HIS BLESSING"
 These are not idle words. We are sure they will not fall on deaf ears.
 The people-the plain people of Ala cause of humanity always will, in our opinion, respond to the call of Chairman Jones.
 The State Herald will receive and re- ceipt for contributions under the above call, from 10 cents up, and forward same to the proper authorities.
 Every patriotic democrat in Alabama can give small amount and not miss it.
 Remember this is a contest for free- dom.
 Bear in mind that If we fail the future of our little ones is blighted.
 Every democratic mother in Alabama, when she tucks her little ones away to- night and asks the blessings of God upon them, should remember to ask her hus- band whether or not he has contributed his mite towards preserving to them the precious privilege of being free Ameri- | can citizens.
 | There is no longer any room to doubt | that if Mckinley and the money power I wins in this contest we are raising our 1 children to be mere hewers of wood and l drawers of water.
 l If Bryan wins they will be free men;
 if Mckinley, serfs. | Send your contribution to the State 1 Herald or call at the office and hand 1t in, and you will be properly receipted for l same which will be forwarded to Chair l man Jones promptly. Remember the | time is short, and the campaign commit | tee needs the money.

IOWA SAFE.

James Creelman in the New York World says 30,000 heretofore republicans will vote the democratic ticket in Iowa this year. The same writer says not more than 10000 heretofore Iowa demo- crats will fail to vote the democratic ticket. This concession means at least 30 000 democratic majority in Iowa this year. It can be figured out easily. Here is the way to do it: In 1892 Cleve- land received 196S67 votes. To this add 90, GOO, which gives 226,367. At the same election Harrison received 219795 votes. From this subtract 30,000, which leaves 1S9,495. To this add 10000, which gives 199, 795 votes, the vote that Mckinley, &C., cording to Creelman, will receive this year. To the 226,367 democratic and heretofore republican votes that Bryan will receive this year, according to Creel- man, add the 20, 595 votes that Weaver received for president in 1892 and we have a Bryan vote of 246,962 From this sub- tract the 10000 votes that Creelman says the democratic party will lose by the goldbug defection and we have Bryan vote of 296,962 to a Mckinley vote of 199. 795, giving to Bryan clear majority of 37,167. Thus it will be seen that accord ing to. republican goldbug testimony the state of Iowa is absolutely safe to de- mocracy.
 Iowa is no exception. About the same result can be expected in all the other middle north and northwestern states.

Rnokkeaners Arrested.


 New Orleans, Sept. 11.-Bank Examiner Escott arrived here today and took charge of the Union National, but his ar rival has not dispelled the gloom of mys- tery which hangs over that institution.
 MT Chalaron, the president of the Un- ion bank, visited the bank building early this morning, but remained only short while. His persistent silence in the face of so many ugly rumors about the bank is severely criticised on all sides. Some of his warmest defenders have grown lukewarm to his interest and now say It is strange he does not talk.
 This afternoon the two individual book keepers of the Union National, Messrs. Frank B. Leefe and A. Colomb, were ar- rested on affidavits made by Cashier La- barthe. Colomb, it appears, Is only con structively" under arrest. The charge against Leefe is for violating section 52O9 revised statutes of the United states, by falsifying his books and accounts, es- pecially in book of the bank known as the "book of daily summaries of individ- ual entries" his accounts showing cred it balance of $12,604.SS, which should have been $196, ,16S.6O The charge against Colomb is of similar character. Leefe was arraigned before United States Con- missioner Craig. He pleaded not guilty and was placed under bonds of s10,000, which he immediately furnished.
 These arrests, taken in connection with 0l.O causing much comment to the effect that an attempt will be made to make the bookkeepers scapegoats. 1t Is well known that the banks bookkeepers do not ham, dle a cent of the banks funds. A report CT of the Southern Associated Press was informed tonight by an unimpeachable source that a prominent physician, re- lated to Bookkeeper Leefe, forced an in- terview with President Chalaron late this afternoon in reference to Leefe's case and the doctor says tonight that Presi- MT. Chalaron does not know anything more about the books than he (the phy- sician) does. MT. Chalaron is an old man, highly nervous in temperament and was wrapped up in the existence of the bank. It is beginning to be believed that the change in the bookkeeping of the bank, which was recently inaugurated, has had a tendency to confuse MT. Chalaron and that in going over the books he has be- come unbalanced and jumped at the con- clusion that there is a dedication. 9th erwise his precipitate action in closing the bank without consulting the directors and his silence is ineXplicable. There is a strong ground for belief in the physi- clans story.
 Judge Theard this evening appointed two receivers for the Bank of Commerce and it's affairs will be immediately liqui- dated It has ample assets, and this protect the banks depositors and other creditors.
 There was persistent run today on the Peoples bank and that institution is in peril. Messrs. H. & B. Beer today or dered s100.000 in currency by express from New York to assist in relieving the tension which now exists in this market.

AS A MATTER OF PRECAUTIoN
The Bank of Commerce. New Orleans,
 Closes Its Doors.

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-The Bank of Commerce closed it's doors today.
 The Bank of Commerce was organized in 1887 with a capital stock of $100,000 William P. Nichols, nephew of Chief Jus tice Nichols of the supreme court, is it's president. There was a great crowd about the bank building shortly after the doors were closed. It is stated the doors were closed as a matter of precau ton, there having been a run on the bank yesterday. Depositors, it is understood, will lose only little.

To the Press of the State,

The campaign committee of the demo- cratic and conservative party of Ala bama would appreciate it if each paper in the state. regardless of it's politics, would place the committee on it's mailing lists pending the present campaign.

James Creelman, a staff correspondent of the New York World, comedies Me- Kinley out of the race in Iowa. He says there are 30,000 republicans who are go- ing to vote for Bryan and that only about 10000 heretofore democrats will fail to vote the democratic ticket. These figures if correct will result in a democratic ma jority of more than 30000 in Iowa.

If Mckinley declines to meet Bryan in joint discussion in Chicago, now that the labor organizations of that city have joined in petition to him, he will lose the state by 50000 majority. If he meets Bryan he will lose the state by 75,00O fna- jority. The mortgaged man has every thing to gain by refusing to meet the democratic nominee in joint discussion.

Lawyer John X. Scott has great
penchant for the white meat Of turkey
and ever since tho season opened-when

four choice birds at his residence and
Sunday morning Mr.. Scott visited the
coop for the purpose of inspecting his

number. The fowls were 80 lively and
hoped from one end of the yard Ia the
other at such an astonishingly rapid gait
that Mr.. Scott concluded 10 open the door
of the pen and count them as they came
out. ''There goes one" he exclaimed.

he shouted. And sure enough they had
all escaped from the coop.
With the first breath of the free and
crisp morning air the turkeys took
wing, flying north, east, south and west,
alighting on trees, stables. churches and
dwellings. After leisureiy viewing their
surroundings a majority of the turkeys
returned to their owners coop. evidently

an end and they were safe from slaughter,

aware of the close approach of New

escape. only to be run down at the west
end of town and returned an unwilling
captive.
