MO EXPERIMENTATION

It Is none of our business especially, but we fail to see how the populists and republicans of Alabama can fuse upon any honest basis. There is nothing of principle in common between the two bodies and there is no ground upon which they can meet except that of a division of the spells of office. The Louisiana opponents of the democracy have at- tempted to homologate, if we may be permitted to use a term of the civil law of that F'renchified state, and the attempt has been a dismal failure. The New Orleans Times-Democrat tells us of the abject failure of a combination which by the necessary order of events could not possibly combine:
 "The fusion movement which was to unite all the enemies of the democracy in Louisiana !n support of a composite ticket has gone to pieces at a very early day. The programme was for the na- tional republicans to nominate ticket or part of one at their conference in this city on January 2 which would be in- dorsed by the populists at their conven- ton at Alexandria January 8, and sub- sequently by the regular republicans on January 29.
 "The programme. however. has not

THE SILVER SENATORS.

The esteemed telegraph yesterday at tempted to cast a doubt upon the strength of free silver in the senate Among the doubtful senators it named Senator Bacon of Georgia. In reply to an inquiry made of him MT. Bacon said.
 T think the publicatio must have been due to transformation on the part of the newspaper reporter. In my perl sonal intercourse with the senators | have been outspoken in the expression of my opinions, and 1 don't think my posi- ton is misunderstood by any of them.

I believe when this is done and when in addition there- to the government pays out silver to it's creditors just as 1t received it from it's debtors, IS this bill provides shall be done, that then both gold and silver will circulate on perfect parity
 My opinions on the subject of binct- alllsm are not of recent formation, and study and observation have strengthened and deePened the convictions of twenty years When these convictions and opin- ions are changed will not leave the pub lie in doubt of the fact.

WAGES OF COAL MINERS.


 The condition of the iron market in 1894 became such as to make it absolutely necessary to reduce the cost of produc- tion of pig iron. The elements that enter into the cost of pig iron are coal, ore, limestone and labor. In 1894 the ore con tractors voluntarily reduced the cost of mining ore from 60 cents per ton to 3712 cents per ton, and also reduced the cost of limestone relatively. The coal miners were asked to submit to a reduction of 10 cents per ton. This they declined to do and the long and lamentable strike of 1894 followed, which was finally settled by compromise, the miners agreeing to accept a reduction of 7h cents per ton, instead of 10 cents. This fixed the price at Pratt mines, upon which all other mines are based, at STE cents per ton when No. 1 foundry iron was worth $8.50 per ton or less. and for each 50 cents ad vance above $S.50 for No. foundry the mining scale was to be advanced 2h cents. On the St of July, 1895. the price of No 1 foundry was advanced to point that raised the mining scale to 40 cents, and on the 1st of September, 1895, the selling price of No. 1 foundry was ad- vanced to a point that raised the mining scale to 45 cents. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at each Of the advances in No. 1 foundry iron promptly advanced the price of mining coal, and notwithstanding the fact that the demand for iron became slack during the month of October and has increased in dullness ever since, the furnaces in this district have refused to ask re- duction on the part of their coal miners until their order books had practically become exhausted and the furnace com panies were forced to pile up their prod uct upon their yards, notwithstanding the fact that their competitors north or the Ohio river were selling from $l to $2 per ton less than the iron producers in this district.
 On the 1st of January 1896, the unfaVor- able conditions continued, and the iron men of this district, realizing that they must reduce the price of their product or go out of business, found that a re- ducton of S1.25 per ton on No. foundry and corresponding reduction in the oth- CT grades was necessary to meet compe- tltion. This reduction fixes the mining scale at 40 cents per ton, or a reduction of cents per ton from the maximum paid last year
 Inasmuch as the main consumption or coal in the Birmingham district comes l through the manufacture of pig iron, no one can doubt the advisablity and jus tice of sliding scale to govern the price of digging coal, based upon the price of pig iron. The contract arrangement of this kind entered into between the coal miners and operators was very equlta- ble one, and both the business and work ing public appreciated the promptness with which the Tennessee company in creased the price of mining coal to their miners as the price of pig iron in- creased. Now that the price of iron has decreased, there can be no reasonable doubt that the miners will promptly agree to accept the cents reduction which follows the operation of the con tract

been carried out in single particular. The nationals did not nominate the ticket expected, but spent several days hunting for a candidate, and finally selected "a gentleman to lead the ticket who had never been mentioned before. The reg ulars accepted the nomination in the very worst grace, and not only refused to fall in line, but tried to stir up the pop ulsts against it; and the populists de clined to consider the Hotel Royal nom nations at all. tN
 ''The action taken by the convention at Alexandria yesterday proves conclu7 sively how impossible it is for three par ties so antagonistic to each other as these f1icting views and hating each other so bitterly, to fuse. A large number of the populists when called on to support a re- publican ticket declared that they would much rather vote the democratic one and that they would go to Foster if there was no populist nominee in the field.
 "The fusion is completely broken up. Some attempt will be made we suppose1 to patch it up again. The regular repub- licans have held out a sort of promise to the populists that they will support a ticket headed by Gunby and Booth, but it is very much like all the other pro- posed deals. There is a ring of hollow mockery about it. total absence of good faith. None of the triple alliance is in earnest, but each party Is trying to play or sell out the others. Even if they come together there will be no true union Flu sion such as this. where no identity of in terests exists. where there is no common platform, and where principle is subor- dinated to the greed for office is, we are glad to say, impossible"

" KONG AGAIN.

It appears that Great Britain is as wrong in the Transvaal matter as she is in the Venezuela matter On February 2S, 1884 the day following the acceptance of the convention, the Pall Mall Budget of London opposing the government, commented editorially upon the agree ment as follows:
 "The full terms of the new settlement, which are now before us, show that the government, however reluctantly, has definitely accepted a new policy, the cen tral principle of which is the definition and the concentration of responsibility. Under the Pretoria convention responsl- bilities were mixed. Neither the Boers nor the British were absolutely masters in the Transvaal, while the Boers had all the power and the responsibility aris- ing from the possessions of power. The formal responsibility for the protection of natives was imposed upon us, while at the same time we were given no ade-
 uuate power for the discharge of our
 duties short of a threat of war. The new
 convention changes all that. It makes
 the Boer absolute master in his own
 house. He shall do as he pleases in the
 Transvaal. He has changed his name
 to begin with. It is no longer the Trans
 vaal state, but the South African repub- lie. There will no longer be a British resident at Pretoria. There will be no imnerillm in imperio The suZerainty Is reduced to an attenuated shadow. It's ghost fingers in the fourth article, by
 which it is stipulated that no treaty or
 engagement with any state or nation other than the Orange Free State, or
 with any native tribe to the east or west
 of the republic, shall be concluded With
 out the approval of the queen. To the north. therefore, and the south, even this
 miserable remnant of our suzerainty does not exist"
 , From this clear statement 1t appears that the German emperor is right in de- nying any authority on the part of Great Britain over the South African re- public. If his action is part of settled policy which has been arraying the con- tinent in opposition to England he has struck at the one point where the Ger man colonial possessions in east Africa can expand. Between the sea and the Transvaal lies the colony of Portugal,
 which contains the mouth of the Zam- besi. It is Portugal's most valuable pos session, though it yields little revenue. Portugal is bankrupt. Her debt is held in Berlin and Paris Some day this col ony will pass to some stronger and more solvent power If it goes to Germany
 it joins German East Africa to the Transvaal, gives the latter port and an
 ally and Germany colonial empire cap- able of expansion.

To our mind the question the demo- crats of Alabama should consider more seriously than any other is How can democratic control in state affairs be best insured?" There is no calamity that could befall us that would be more blighting in its consequences-and espe- cially to the black belt portion of the state-than to have republicans and pop ulites in charge of the affairs of govern ment. Who is the more available man of the two, Johnston or Clarke, to avert such calamity? That is the question for the democrats of Alabama to deter mine in the pending contest, and not whether President Cleveland is right or wrong in his views on the financial ques- tion. Sincerely and honestly believing that Captain Johnston is the more avail able of the two. we shall advocate his nomination. Say what you may about his financial views there is no one who can truthfully assal his democracy. He has stood by the party in every emer- gency. contributing freely of his time and money to insure it's success. A brave Confederate soldier, wounded on many hard fought battlefelds. true to his coun- try, true to his friends and having done valiant service in the cause of democracy in the dark days of reconstruction, sure ly he will win the nomination for gov ernor and be triumphantly elected Greensboro Watchman.

INDIANS ON THE STAGE.
An Interesting Performance by the Reservation
 Red Men,

A small audience assembled last even- ing to witness the Indian show. The en- gagement deservesfar better patronage. Indeed, it is a new and novel perform ance, and would be appreciated by the most casual observer, for it is an oppor- tunity to learn something of the origina inhabitants of our land. One may pie ture the daring stories of border life, with it's thrilling incidents, such as the cap ture of beautiful maid by the hideous redskins and her ultimate rescue by those guardians of early western safety, the cowboy scouts. This tableaux were exceptionally interesting last evening. It seemed that the braves would plunge a cruel knife into the defenseless bosom of the beautiful captive. And then the curtain went down, but the rescue was equally thrilling. Other features of the performance such as the relics. the markmanship and the sword exercise, are also to be commended.
 The seekers after unique and instruc- tive amusement will not be disappointed with the Indian show at the matinee to- day and at the evenings performance.

Blue Creek Miners Knock Of to Investigate
 the Iron Market.

The miners at Blue Creek did not work yesterday and it is understood they will not go in the mines again until their committee shall have time to investigate the iron market and ascertain if the price of iron has dropped to s9 per ton.
 They say that by the terms of their contract they will have to accept the re- duction in wages if the iron market has fallen as claimed by the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company.
 The committee will probably complete It's investiga tions in a few days and upon their report depends the action of the men. There is hardly a doubt, however, of the men returning to work just as early as possible after the report of the committee is received.

OIL OF COTTON SEED GROWING IN FAVOR
I0II First Avenue.

MT. D. T. Green, travelling agent for Armour's Cottoline, is stopping at the Florence. MT. Green says the whole country is beginning to appreciate that the oil of the cotton seed Is superior to the fat of the hog, and the prejudice once met with has been almost overcome and his goods are being used in food eaten by thousands of people every day who think it the purest of lard.
 Strange" said he. "how much more prejudiced are the people who raise the cotton seed and ought to appreciate en- larging the sale of the oil than those who raise the hog. Where they raise the hog they prefer the Cottoline and where they raise the cotton seed they prefer the lard. Such is the peculiarity of people. and the result is they often get both at one and the same time and are none the wiser"

Johnston. he says has strong following in Etowah and will be hard man to beat.
