GEL READY NOW.

The men who have their money in
vested in business in birmingham and
surrounding towns, and who desire to
continue in business, should not lose
sight of the fact that they have yet a
good deal to do before the district is re-
leved of the commissary system, which
is sapping the very life blood from 1t.
We have, it is true, elected men to the
senate and lower house who are pledged
to secure the passage of laws that will
prevent the continuance of the system
now in vogue here. We are certain those
men will stand by their pledges to the
people, but the six members from Jeffer
son county cannot within themselves,
pass laws. They are going to need the
help of members from other counties.
The business men in Birmingham. Bes-
semer, Pratt City and other points should
unite with the laboring men of the dis
trict and get together facts and figures
showing the baneful effects and indie
feasible outrages of the commissary sys-
tenn. backed up by the once per month
pay roll custom, in order that the eyes
of all the members of the general assem-
bly, may be opened on the question. Men
who go to the legislature from many

shown the facts and figures before they
can be expected to believe that such out
RACES are perpetrated in any section of
the country as can be established as taxi
ing place hereabouts.
To get aid and assistance of those men
In the passage of the necessary laws to
save this district from the blighting evils
of the commissary system they will have
to be shown the condition of affairs as
they exist here. This can be done If the
people who suffer because of the COM
missary system will put their heads to-
getber.
We are sure that If the case Is pre-
sented to the next general assembly in
its true light laws can be enacted that
will strike down the system.
If the business and laboring men will
stand up to their representatives this
time they can win in the general assem-
bly,. and unless they do stand up to them
and press the matter they will have only
themselves to blame in the future for
the fact that the destroyers of the pros
perity Of this district continue to grow
and flourish in their midst.

BEING KEPT BUSY.

The Montgomery Advertiser is kept
busy these hot days lodging the lashes
that are being showered upon its republic
can back by the state papers, many of
which were as honest advocates as the
Advertiser of the nomination of Mr..
Clarke and so-called sound money. but
are nevertheless democrats without pre-
fixes or affixes," and have no patience
whatever with the boiling Montgomery
Mckinley organ.
Following are some of the sickly ex-
pressions that are nauseating not only
to the democratic newspapers of the
state, but honest men of all parties, to-
gether with a few rebukes that are be-
ing thrown at it by papers that agree
with it on the financial question:

An Apology in Order.

Albertville Journal
Now the side show opens with In opera
house meeting at Lekeview, with Ex-
Governor Jones as 'talker and promul-
gator" Think we have heard of an op-
era house meeting once before in which
the democratic platform and it's standard
bearers were denounced. 1t seems that
the table has turned now, and the ex-
governor has placed himself in the same
attitude occupied by Captain Kolb in 80
"a bofter. Wouldn't it be right and
courteous for the Advertiser, Elk Govern
or & Co. to apologize to Captain Kolb
and the other boilers of '92?

A CRYING Necessity.

Greensboro Beac
There should be a democratic morning
daily published in Montgomery, the cap
ital of Alabama. We predict that 1t won
be very long before one makes it's APP
pearance there. The democrats of Ala
hama will mot support much longer a
sheet like the Daily Advertiser. But it
might as well be understood now as later
that the Advertiser will not be killed off
in a day. 1t would be able to run from
now until the November election without
patronage. Those interested stockhold-
ers up north will see to it that the Adver-
tser gets the money for the next three
months, after which time the door of the
corn crib will be shut

Helping the Enemy.



The Birmingham State Herald very
properly dubs the sound money move
ment in Alabama as the republican aid
society. They cannot hope to accomplish
anything by this movement and the only
thing which in our Judgment they can do
is to assist in turning the electoral vote
of Alabama over to Mckinley in Novem-
Der. We regret to see our friends and
former party leaders and counsellors
take step which would in any way as
sist Mckinley and operate against the
democracy.

The Question of G letting Even.

Troy Messenger
One candidate who was defeated in the
primaries said that he would have to go
home and plant cotton patch to pay
his expenses while in the canvass. How
will the candidates who fell in the Au-
gust election pay their expenses? We
know of some that we think are about
financially ruined. Those that fell in the
first fight have proven to be the lucky
ones on both sides.

The so-called sound money" move
ment, with the intention to take demo-
cratic support away from Bryan and
Sewal1, will meet no encouragement in
Bullock county. Some effort was made
to excite some of our people to support
the ticket that will be named on the I'd of
September, but it fell through most glo-
riously. The democrats of this county
will remain loyal to the action of the only
democra tic national convention, and will
not seek other nominees. Those who went
into the primary favoring what is called
Sound money" were fairly outnumbered
by the free silver advocates, and, keeping
before themselves one of the funda mental
principles of the party, they gracefully
submit to the will of the ma jority and

PlainlY Put.

Huntsville Mercury.
All this talk about organizing a real
democratic party in Alabama grows more
tiresome day by day. The Chicago plat
form is the pronunciamento of democracy
and those opposed are republicans. The
Advertiser has taught that there are only
two parties, and now it must stand by it's
teachings. The indianapolis convention
Is almost sure to adopt a platform and
counsel the support of Mckinley electors
Win the Advertiser do it, or will it bolt
again?

Yesterday Morning.
A case of sandbagging was reported
Friday morning to Chief of Police
Guerin by Sam Nash, a miner of Sand
Coulee, who was the victim. Mr.. Nash
had come into the city to meet his
mother and brother and sister, who were
on the train from the cast, having come
from Pennsylvania to pay him a visit.
He had not seen them for nine years and
he was naturally feeling pretty we'll over
the expected visit. To while away the
time before the train arrived be strolied
down Second street south and there he
met a friendly stranger who invited
him into the Fashion saloon to take a
drink. The invitation was repeated a
number of times, according to Nash's
story, until he became suspicious that
all was not right, INT then he tried to
get away. He was on his way to the
depot, he says, passing through an alley
when he was met by a man, who struck
him a blow with a sandbag on
the lower jaw, which knocked him sense
less. When he recovered he found him
self lying in the alley without his gold
watch and minus about 81 in cash. lie
made his way to the depot without his
hat and in a generally demoralized con-
dition just in time to meet his relatives,
who arrived on the l a. m. train. The
latter did not get a very good impression
of the country they had come to when
they heard his story.

IN LABOR's CAUSE.

h State Trades and Labor Council Will
Meet Here on Nov. 10.
Great Falls is to have another labor
gathering in a little more than a week
from now, when she will have for her
guests the delegates to the State Trades
and Labor Council, which meets in its
third annual convention IN this city on
Monday, Nov. 16. A. f. Cautield, secre-
tary Of the state council, is in receipt of
letters from a large number of labor
unions all over the state who have signi-
fed their intention of being represented
at The meeting in Great Falls, and he ex-
poets that about 100 delegates will be
here a week from next Monday. The
last meeting of the body wae held in
Anaconda, and its session lasted three
daye. 1t 10 expected that the coming
convention will also take about three
days to transact it's business.
The local Trades ard Labor Council
at their last meeting appointed a num-
Der of committees to receive and enter
tain their visitors. Among their plans
for entertainment, the committee haye
been making arrangements to give a
grand ball at the Grand Central during
the visitors stay here. They are also
arranging to show them the sights
about town and vicinity. The State
Trades and Labor Council are one of the
most Influential and important labor
bodies in this section, and have done a
great deal of service to the cause they
represent. The Great Falls unions took
an active and leading part in it's organ
ization three years ago, and have conse-
quently a lively interest in it's progress
and growth in influence. The railroads
have granted a rate of one and one. fifth
fares to the delegates who will attend
from other portions OF tho state.
