Needs continuation.

The statement that is being made in the
organs of the silver monometallists of
this state that since the silvertes tri-
umphed in Alabama populists in that state
are announcing their purpose TO vote with
the democrats needs confirmation. We do
not see that any reason exists now in
Alabama that did not exist before the re-
cent democratic state convention, why
populists of that state should abandon
their party and flock to the democracy.
The populists have always claimed, and
still claim, that free and unlimited silver
coinage is only one of the many of their
principles. Because the silver monometal-
lists in the democratic party of Alabama
have succeeded in committing their party
organization to unlimited silver coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 1, it doesn't follow by
any means that they are going to get any
populists votes for the democratic ticket.
Besides, the populists have never pretend
ed that the adoption of the IS to 1 idea
would not degrade the currency. On the
contrary, they admit it would, and say
that what they want is fiat money. The
silver monometallists in the democratic
party in this state may be in full sympa-
thy with the Alabama populists, and
therefore hope that populists not only in
Alabama but elsewhere, viii unite with the
democracy, but as matter of fact these
silver monometallists are in much more
danger of being drawn into the populist
ranks than the populists are of being
drawn to democracy.
Why should the Alabama populists aban-
don their party organization because the
democrats of that state have adopted the
Is to l idea? They know their national
convention will declare for unlimited sill
yer coinage at the ratio of 16 to l. but
have they any assurance that the national
democratic convention will do so? They
certainly have not What reason then
is there for believing that they are aban-
doning their party for a party that is
likely to declare against the 16 to l idea ?
AS we said, the statement that Alabama
populists are joining the democrats in that
state needs confirmation.

The career of the Shah of Persia was
cut short just when he was preparing to
celebrate the jubilee Of his accession with
extraordinary festivities at Teheran. Other
soverigns had already begun sending him
presents. The car had sent him an en-

man of considerable ability, and ruled
Persia much more satisfactory, all things
considered, than an ADLER and more am
bilious man could have done.

Thirty-two or thirty-three years ago it
was all right to run the blockade in
schooners and other sailing craft. Many
a cargo of cotton was taken out from
southern ports to Nassau in craft as
small as pilot boats, which depended upon
the wind for motive power. The blockad-
ing craft. like the blockade runners, either
depended upon the wind or were very slow
steamers. But conditions are changed
now as is Illustrated by the case of the
schooner Competitor, captured by the
spaniards the other day. With fleet
steamers patroling the Cuban coast it is
foolish to attempt to smuggle in contra

That pretty little Harris-Carlisle story
about the senator from Tennessee paying
for his luncheon with a poker chip and
afterward putting the joke on the Secre-

yarn that Mr.. Carlisle IS telling his friends
in Washington, says the New York Press.
In Bishop Dudley's church, when the col
lection was taken up, one of the vestrymen
inadvertently dropped into the plate a po-
ker chip for a silver doNar. Overcome with
modification he hurried into the bishop
room after service and said:
Bishop, ! don't know how in the world
it happened, but do you know l dropped
a poker chip into the plate. How it ever
got into my pocket 1 cannot imagine Here
is a half dollar; / want to redeem it,"
Not at that price, Brother Blank" said
the bishop, with a smile. 1T is a blue
chip; cost you just $l.50."
Brother Blank looked at him in surprise.
But, bishop" he said. How in the world
do you know a blue chip is worth $l50?"
Remember Brother Blank, I am the
bishop of Kentucky"
