Now comes Bro. Newman and says in yesterdays Commercial that he don't know anything about banks, that his anarchistic editorial, captioned "The Bank er's Cry" was all wrong; that he didn't mean to reflect upon our local banks; that he was clearly wrong in the aforesaid article, and that he "humbly apologies for the same" All of which goes to show that Bro. Newman was sim ply engaged in one of his old tricks of shooting off his mouth when he didn't know what he was talking about.

 But the Journal is not a bolter. It remains true to the Democratic party and indorses the Chicago nominees. It opposes McKin- leyism for the reason that every principle of the Republican party is in violation of Democratic prin- ciples and traditions.
 Therefore, the Journal will sup port Bryan and Sewall, h mak- ing the announcement the Journal truly says:
 During the campaign within the party the Journal called upon all Democrats to pledge themselves in advance to vote for the nominees of the National Convention, and in that connection the Journal pledged itself to do 80. We find nothing to con- mend in the platform except it's deela- ration for the maintenance of a sound money currency, and this declaration is qualified by an illtempered criti- cism of the course pursued by the present administration, which was absolutely necessary to sustain & sound currency.
 "The Republican party fAyors a high protective tariff; it opposes an income taxi is identified with the trusts and monopolies of the country, and it can be relied upon to give them support at the expense of the masses. In this condition of affairs the Journal believes it is the part of patriotism and wisdom to remain inside the Democratic party. Especially is this true in the South The Democratic party has the constant friendship of our section, while the Ropunican party has 1eeI. it's relentless enemy.
 "After careful deIiberation, while we cannot indorse all of the platform adopted at Chitago, we have deter mined to give an earnest support to the Democratic nominees.

Land Measurements.

The "acre" is the amount which team
of oxen were supposed to pillow in day.
1t corresponds to the German "morgen"
and the French 'journee." 1t was fixed
by the ordinance of Edwad |. as furlong
in length and four poles in breadth. The
"furlong" or "furrow long, Is the dis
lance which team of oxen can pillow con-
veniently without stopping to rest.
Oxen, as we know, were driven, not
with whip, but with goad or pole,
the most convenient length for which
was sixteen and one-half feet; aud the
ancient plowman also used his pole or
perch as measure by placing it at right
angles to his first furrow, thus marking
of the amount he had plowed. Hence, our
"pole" or ''perch" of sixteen and one
half feet, which at first sight seems q
very singular unit to have selected. This
width is also convenient both for turning
the pillow and for sowing. Hence, the mosl
convenient unit OF land for arabic purposes
was furlong in length and perch oil
pole in width.
