SILLY SYLLOGISM.

The Montgomery Advertiser, along with lot of other giddy single gold standard advocates, is using figures to felicitate its crowd upon the oft-repeated asseveration that the cause of silver is waning. They argue that this is plainly shown by the population of the states, the majority of whose representativ in the house the other day voted against the senate silver substitute bill. The popula- tion of these states, say the Advertiser and it's equally silly contemporaries, is greater than the population of the states whose representatives voted for the bill Ergo, silver Is dead.
 Why not use your logic for all it is worth?
 President Cleveland is an administra- tion man and opposed to the free coinage of silver al any ratio. The population of the United States is 7O0oO.o0O Ergo. there are for President Cleveland and against the free coinage of silver 10000, 900 people-the entire population of the United States for the single gold stand ard.
 This syllogism, the Advertiser no doubt imagines to use Congressman Hutchin- sons great phrase. is 'psychologlcally ir- refragible," but it needs no focus of Roentgen rays upon it to discern that it is a very poor article of twaddle.

MILITIA FROM MINNESOTA.
Company D of the First Regiment Fairies in
 Birmingham.

A special train containing Company D, First regiment. Minnesota national guards, of St. Paul, sreached the city at noon yesterday returning from the New Orleans mardi gras. The company was in charge of Capt E. s. Bean, First Lieut. c. E. Metz, Second Lieut. M. l.. Merrill, First Sergt. H. w. Tenvoorde, Second Sergt. r. H. Haupt, Third Sergt. A. J. Kahlert, Fourth Sergt. George R. Blod- gett, Fifth Sergt. T. J. -O'Leary, First Corporal J. B. Gunther, Second Corporal George c. Bookstaver, Third Corporal A. A. Ernst, Fourth Corporal John H. Kroch, Fifth Corporal John Dulude and Sixth Corporal r. F.. Krembs.
 There were about fifty officers and sOl- diers and several ladies and private cit iZens in the party.
 Company D is one of the crack com panes of the country and their uniforms were literally covered with souvenirs of their successful drilling contests all over America. On this trip they gave exhibi- ton drills at Nashville, Mobile and New Orleans and will give another at Chi cago. Our intention was to stop over in Birmingham and give an exhibition drill' said Captain Bean. but found after our itinerary had been arranged that we would not have time."
 They all expressed themselves as high 1y pleased with their trip and say the southern people are certainly the big gest-hearted people in the world. They all said they much regrett0 that they could not stop off and see Birmingham that they had often heard of it. in fact, it is looked upon in St. Paul as really the key of the southern states. And understand" said Captain Bean. that one of our old men is now a citizen of your town-Oscar F. Meyers. He Is most excellent gentleman and was one of the best looking soldiers in the com pany. l am very sorry that we failed to see him.
 Among the many compliments paid this company was it's selection to escort Governor Hubbard to New York city to attend the funeral obsequies of General Grant.

CARLISLE'S REPLY.

MT. Carlisle will not raise his voice to rebuke the few so-called democrats who are voting against their party nominee for United States senator. The New Or leans Times-Democrat speaking of these men who are imperillng the election of al democrat to the senate says:
 "The obstinacy of these so-called sound money democrats is not of good omen for the democracy; it suggests that sound money ideas are found in conjunction with very unsound political principles.
 But for these sound money demo- crats, who have been and are guilty of rank treason to their nominal party, Senator Blackburn would have been elected to succeed himself weeks ago. For one of the two populites has been steadily voting for him; and the other has put himself on record that the day Blackburn gets the entire democratic vote, he also will vote for the present senator, and so achieve his reelection. Yet. even with the prospect of such termination to the existing deadlock, the quntette of sound money democrats persist in their ruinous course Secre- tary Carlisle has been appealed to to use islators with a view to getting them into line with the majority; but of course MT. Carlisle is himself too much welded to his new sound money idol, and proba- ply too much afraid of giving offense to his boss in the White House, to vouchsafe any assistance in that direction"

BlRMlNGHAM'S AUDITORIUM.
Determination to Build Finer Structure Than

Determination to Build Finer Structure Than
 at First Contemplated.
 People are beginning to inquire about the auditorium.
 Mayor VanHoose has been absent from the city several days in Washington, D. C., rumor says. interesting capitalists in the canal project to unite the waters of the Tennessee and Coosa rivers and is expected home today or tomorrow when he will no doubt take up the auditorium enterprise and push 1t to a finish. When last noted the subscriptions had reached between $12.000 and $15,0O0. $50o0 more than the mayors first estimate, and he has determined to build a much better structure than at first contemplated.
 It grows plainer every day that Bir- mngham cannot we'll get along without such a building. and she needs it now. Nearly every meeting of importance held in the state is held in Birmingham, and the number of people who attend these gatherings must be accommodated. Had Rex decided to address the vast audience which greeted his arrival, of course the fair grounds alone would have held the people, and Rex Is only the forerunner of the big political and other gatherings that will be held here in the future.
 And to figure little: Say that the visitors here last Tuesday numbered as few as 10,000-many estimate the crowd as double that number-not one spent less than B while in the city. thus leav- ing in hard cash. at the lowest calcula- tion, S30.000. With a first-ciass audito- rium each and every meeting would be more largely attended and no city in the state could cope with Birmingham in securing these meetings.
 When the mayor returns it Is hoped he win pull of his coat and complete the auditorium and let the canal follow faWninG.

received the impression, and l believe it to be so, that the most pronounced sill yer democrats in the south are gradually reaching the conclusion that for higher party and public reasons they should be willing to yield something to party unity. l believe the silver democrats of Mis- Souri and Arkansas are more bitter and implacable than in any other of the old slave states, and in Arkansas the condi- ton grows largely out of the conflicting senatorial ambitions of two able men, who are outdoing each other in organ izing sentiment.
 Tn the other southern states the con viction, I believe. is growing that con ceSsion is necessary to save the party
 MT. Morrison would not discuss the manner of concession or what shape the financial plank in the democratic plat form will take. "The fight will be fought right in that convention" said he. Tt cannot by any possibility, be settled be- forehand I fear. And the fight will do no harm. if the minority sees its duty and does it.'
 As to Illinois. he professed no knowl- edge. He asked for information, in fact. He had heard nothing of proposed or contemplated early or late date for the democratic state convention.
 "The action of Chicago on the silver question will control the action of the state," he said. "I Chicago again sends down a whooping Is to crowd the state will go that way again. just as 1t did last spring."
 MT Morrison asked as to the strength of the national administration in Illinois. When told that the party leaders say it Is growing in proportion with the decline of the free silver idea. he said he SuppoS- ed it to be true in Illinois, as in other states, that improvement in trade con ditions would allay much dissatisfaction.
 MT. Morrison will remain in Chicago until Thursday night.

 What was the effect on political opin- ion and democratic party sentiment of the decisive anti-silver vote in house of congress on Friday?' .sj
 ''I am not as close in touch with what you may term the political or party thought and opinion of Washington as some others who are about the capital l have not been in the house of repre- sentatives since l went out in March 1887. y
 'It is curious how changing incidents in political fortune can elevate or de- press the sentiments of men. The action Of the senate on the silver question elated the silver men, and the action of othe house depressed them equally. Perhaps a little more so-yes, little more so,"
 Speaking of his presidential candida cy MT. Morrison said: -ls
 Whatever my aspiration as to the honorable leadership of great party, I would not snap my finger for the pres- idential nomination of a divided and de- moralized party. There must be evil dence of party cohesion around well-set- tied doctrines of the democratic party before would accept nomination. Let there be fight in the convention. A fight in a convention Is not dangerous if proper party spirit prevails, but It should always be a fight in which it is understood that antagonizing interests shall abide the results. No man in his senses would go before convention with any other understanding"

Since Congressman Henry G. Turner delivered his great sound money speech in the house his name has been men, tioned in connection with the Georgia senatorshp. Concerning this the Wash ington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal says: Tt is not too much to say that Intellectually Henry C.. Turner is the equal of either of the thred -Toombs, Stephens or Hill. He ought to be in the senate and his advent there would elevate it's intellectual standard many degrees. ."-Eveang News.
 The News is wofully behind time. Congressman Turner was an active can ddate for the senatorship before the last Georgia legislature. when Hon. A. O. Ba- con- prominent free silver man, won the fight by heavy odds. and at once took position as leader on the democratic side of the senate chamber. MT. Turner is a brainy man, and would be a real leader ii he were on the silver side of the financial question.
