THINGS THAT PLEASED Us.

There were a lot OF things We hoped the
81. Louis convention would DO. and Il did
them all, with single exception; so that
We have no cause TO kick or bolt.
We wished for the nomination OF McKin-
lev, ard also for that OF Hobart, in pref
erence TO all others who were before the
convention. They were both nominated.
We wanted 20 see those southern hood
iers who were bought to get up contests.
o. VINO were br!bed to bulldoze conven-
tons, ser out, and they nearly all Were
We wanted TO see the Addicks crowd
from Delaware fred OUT OF the convention,
because Addicks bought several of the
members OF the Delaware legislature, held
them from voting for a Republican sena-
tor, and cons9lred with the Democratic
governor for the same purpose. whereby
the Republicans lost the senator. and the
control OF the United States senate. Ad-
dicks was ho:sted.
We wanted TO see Quincy and his crowd
from Texas downed, because he IS
drunken bulliozer. vino for hire runs Re
publican conventions in Texas, and when
he has not>a majority. carries his point BY
raffianism, in regular wyandotte style.
Quincy was downed.
We wanted 10 see John r Lynch, OF
Mississippi. set out. because, while he IS
no longer a citizen of Mississippi, his home
being in Washington, he always acts as
the agent OF some man or combination 70
go TO Mississippi a convention times, and
carry the delegates against the wishes OF
the people. He was set out.
We wanted to see Chauncey I. Filley OF
Missouri, set down on. because. while he
is a powerful worker and capable of much
good, he is treacherous. and ready 10 sell
out the people of his state for his own
benefit-which he even contemplated doing
at st. Louis, but could not make i work.
He was set down on.
We wanted 10 see William Pitt kellogg
foored in louisiana, because he Is not
resident of the state. but Is always in
scheme TO control the state delegation by
chicanery. He used Doodle and fraud 10
control the convention that sent delegates
To St Louis. He was not fioored him
self, which is the only case in which we
lost our wish; but as most Of the delegates
elected by his trickery were sent adrift,
we can stand the little disappointment
There never was convention in which
bosses, tricksters and shysters so gener-
ally came to grief.-Sol Niller's Chief.

THE RIGHT 10 Kick.

The Wichita Eagle does nothing but
roar and howl about the Republican
platform Colonel Murdoch knew that
kind OF a platform would be made
wher he rasde his fight TO be a dele
gate. II Ia DIDN'T like il, why did he
hind himself 10 il? This is a free
country, but We submit that Murdock
has no right to kick on that platform.
If he was going to bolt, he ought TO
have KEEP: out of the convention--Law-
renee Journal.
We humbly beg your pardon for pre-
Stunning to declare that We knew moth
ing of the kind, and humbly apologize
for daring to assume the privilege OF
saying that we made no fight TO be q
delegate We have never intimated
that we didn't like the platform, as a
whole, nor did We bind ourself to ii.
We voted mo" everytime, under chal-
lenge, when the gold plank was reach
ed. The very fact of the country be-
ing free gives us the right to kick. Its
inalienable. 1t wouldn't be a free
country if we were denied that delight
full privilege so dear to the heart of
every Independent American. But
withal our kicking you will please OBJ
serve, dear Journal, that We never let
go our hold on the horns Of the Repub-
lican altar. Kicks don't count after
you have got out of reach of the herd.
We are inside of the enclosure and the
Journal will please excuse US for not
accepting its kind invitation TO jump
the fence or bolt through the money
gate. which happens to be out of re-
pair. The heritage of the Democratic
pasture runs too much to sage brush
and cactus for our Republican digestive
organs. AS for the Populist COM
mons, the amount of cultivation and
manure necessary to convert them
from barrenS TO arabic fields renders
the speculation too discouraging.
Seriously, Mr.. Journal. these are not
the times in which it is either safe, wise
or polite for the kettle TO call the pot
black. The whole culinary establish
ment is pretty sadly smutted. The
Eagle has written and printed greater
number OF columns, three times over,
ia advocacy of McKinley's nomination,
than any newspaper in Kansas. And
SO it has printed three times as much
as any other Kansas paper in advO-
cacy of the rehabilitation of silver. We
believe that the majority of the people
of Kansas were with us in both de-
mands. We now bewail the fact that
the st. Louis convention, in denying
the demand for constitutional money,
did in just so far jeopardize the chances
of the man whom the Republicans Of
Kansas wanted for president For
the sake of Mckinley and Protection
the Republicans of Kansas would 10 a
man have overlooked the sop thrown
10 the female suffragiSts and the slop
diShed up TO the PrOhibitiOniStS, in that
platform, plankS which we swallowed
without so much as a vince. but when
il came TO that gold plank, empty cars
and fourteen cent corn, broken down
fences and ''twO-and-half" hogs, thirty
cent wheat and hungry-eyed unemplOy-
ed labor stared us in the face and we
voted no"

 Some of the finest plantations of corn and cotton found in Alabama, are seen in the section of the Timber Belt. There are large interests in the lumber and tur- pentine business.
 In all that I have said about the min erals agricultural and timber resources of the state of Alabama, have said 1t conscientiously, with no intention to over estimate the climate, health, mineral ag- riculture or any other interest of the state. Come and see and judge for yourselves.
 The state is penetrated in every part of it by railroads. The Southern railway, with all its connections and branches, with other roads. is contributing great deal toward building up the wonderful resources of this great state of Alabama.

 "Oh, Clarence, I cannot, I cannotw she cried, as she covered her face with her hands and slid down on to the floor Of the dining room, where he had taken her. You have found me out, and now you are going to tortue me, to send me away from my watch house next door, Oh, don't do that! Be merciful, dear for our loves sake, for our children's sake"
 Katie, dear, be calm, be calm," he replied soothingly; you shall never leave me again, never again, I swear! Oh, I have sought for you. How our chill dren have prayed for you, There, now, do not cry darling. Be quiet, and all will yet be welli"
 He took her all over the house. pointed out that everything stood just as 1t used to stand; took her into her bedroom and showed her her dress still hanging in the wardrobe, her jewel case, her hair brushes, her linen. just as she had left them. Finally, after a night of such painful joy as is not known to any but such as these, he let her say a prayer over her sleeping children. And then he once more folded her in his arms, led her down stairs to the study, where of old they generally sat- and talked of the practical side of the question that re- mained to them. She had assumed the position of a domestic servant next door to them, because she wanted to be near; she had preserved her secret all these months, and had seen and known his watchful care of their children.
 Only one thing he insisted upon: that they should be remarked at once; that she should change her dress, and he would take her to a hotel a soon as the day had begun; that she should so down into the country the day after, and he would bring the children to her for their summer holiday
 ''Yes, my love, my love- he said, as he held her at arms length and surveyed her in her black dress, my beautiful love, we will keep this dress sacred to this night"
 And while her tears flowed fast and 1t seemed impossible to make the throbbing heart peaceful again, he reverently put on her one of her old dresses, and then once more they talked of their old, old love, and he once more declared she must never leave him. They left the house be- fore the servants began to stir, and their strange wooing ceased until once more they were husband and wife.-From the Sketch,

beautiful place. and there seems to be so much land near by unoccupied." It was too late to secure him for that place; he was attracted to another point, where the citizens were active in advancing the ln- terest of their town. The home-seeker has no desire to locate in section un- known to him. There are so many de- sirable localities inviting him he will un- questionably go to the section making the greatest overtures.
 WHAT IS YOUR SECTION DOING?
 Let the reader take this question right home, and see what the community Tn which he lives is doing.
 A united effort right now ought to soon bring into every county, town and sec tion of the south some new settlers, and will if proper sectional and individual effort is put forth.
 During the last week ip November there were
 ABOUT 500 PEOPLE PROSPECTING For locations of various kinds along the line of the Southern railway. This IS only the commencement. There is ann pie room for five times that number and we believe that figure will be reached.
 THE STATE OF ALABAMA.
 The new Governor the Hon. Jos. F. Johnston), of your state, comes out falf and openly declares for immigration. He has taken the initiative and if the signal given in his message on this subject is taken right hold of and carried forward intelligently, persistently and vigorously that will be an important move in the right direction. Other mediums are at work and assuming m5re practical shape as the work progresses. The real es- tate agencies of the state are working vigorously and rapidly improving their methods and gaining experience in solicit ing and holding immigration.
 A PREDICTION.
 I believe the people, land owners and others of the south are rapidly becom- ing united upon this subject. and when we all get to work the result will prove decidedly to the advantage of every one, so
 LET THE PEOPLE COME INTO THE
 SOUTH. The benefits which will accrue to the new conner as well as the people of the south are manifest by what has already been done, and it is hoped the impor- tant movement of people from the north to the south will continue.
 THE SOUTH OFFERS security of life, security of proper ty, prosperity and happiness to all who may locate within her borders. M

COMING TO ALABAMA.

Mobile Register.
 The Baltimore Sun notes the departure of a colony of farmers from near Hagers- town, Md, to settle in Alabama, and says:
 "rhis is said to be the first which has gone southward, but 1t is predicted that it will not be the last. The conditions of life are easier in the mild climate and upon the kindly soil of the gulf states, and if this particular colony prospers, it may be followed by others. It was composed of farmers belonging to the German Baptist denomination, common ly known as Tunkers, from an old Ger man word meaning to dip or immerse. The word has been corrupted into Dunk ard which is, perhaps, the more famil- jar name. These people are noted for their thrift and quiet industry. They usually engage in agriculture, and gen. erally prosper. Tn the south they will, it is said, engage in fruit growing as well as regular farming. Introducing their methods of thrift into the south will greatly benefit the neighborhood where they settle by their example, and in other ways, What the emigrants them- selves will gain by leaving what is cer- tainly as fine a country as any portion of the union, combining proximity to market, with other advantages, remains to be seen.' ,'.s
 For a century or more people have been going out from Pennsylvania, Mary land. Virginia and the Carolinas, settling and building up the southern states. We are all such. immigrants, or descendants of such Immigrants. We do not think the result of the change can longer be said to be a matter Of doubt, as the Sun seems inclined to consider 1t.

NO IDEAL PERIOD.

We are living in an age of develop ment Our industries are growing, peo- pie are becoming more wealthy every year, and lands are increasing in value; improvements are more extensive and methods of work more intelligent. This is especially true in the southern states The people of the south are alive to the duty end necessity of being up and do-. ing"
 Northern people are coming in and lending much assistance in the upbuilding of the entire south. The good qualities of the south and her people are being rapidly brought out, and this develop rnent of all elements will early place the south far in advance of other sections. Nature has blessed the south with every natural resource. Human power will utilize the gifts until all the world will point to the southern states as the Mecca for industry, comfort and happiness The American citizen will look with pride upon the south and at all times empha- size the fact that that is part of our country and they are part of our people.
