The object of this notice is to call your attention to the fact that a special rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip has been named from all points for the above mentioned meeting.
 After consultation with several parties who are in position to know the geogra- phy of the country in such way as to select delightful trip, the Louisville and Nashville railroad has been decided upon as the initial route for those wish ing to attend from Alabama. On account of it's numerous connections at Cincin- Dati for Buffalo and Chautauqua Lake 1t is without a peer for those wishing to avail themselves of a delightful summer outing.
 Another reason for the adoption of the Louisville and Nashville for the use of the visitors from Alabama is the fact of its cutting the state in half and being lo- cated so as to be the most convenient of any line for the greatest number of peo- pie.
 More detailed information or any ques- tions as to rates and route beyond Cin- cinnati and stop over privileges at prin- cipal cities will be cheerfully answered by R. F. BEASLEY,
 Passenger Agent, Birmingham, Ala.

PAYING THE PENALTY.

The passing of the editor-in-chef of
 the Advertiser politically is indeed pa-
 thetic. The untimely political ending of
 Maj. w w. Screws teaches @ lesson
 which young men who have political as-
 pirations can study to advantage. It is
 a timely warning to all politicians and
 would-be leaders not to abandon the peo- pie.
 To stand by true democratic principles is but fighting for the rights of the people. Necessarily, therefore, when leader abandons those principles he takes his stand for the classes and against the masses
 Time was in Alabama when no man
 occupied a warmer place in the hearts
 mon people than did Maj. William Wallace Screws of the Montgomery Advertiser. He was one of them. He was faithful and able de- fender of their rights Let come what
 might, the clarion voice of Major Screws
 was to be heard above the din speaking
 in thunder tones for the rights and in the interest of the people. His thenchant
 pen never ceased to demand "equal rights
 to all and special privileges to none.' Time after time he closed his able edito-
 rails against the encroachment of the
 tariff barons and the money gamblers upon the rights of the people with such expressions as this: ''The Advertiser prefers to go down with the people rather than to stand with the robber money power"
 But in an unguarded moment the tempter came. The tone of the Ad- vertiser gradually changed The once champion of the people had fallen by the | wayside. The dazzling light from Wash
 ington got in its fatal work.
 The paper that had contained thou sands of yards of editorials from the pen of Major Screws against the republican crime of '73 and in favor of the free coinage of silver began to regret in mild way that MT. Cleve- land was not in line with the party on | the silver question. On and on 1t went un- til 1t took up boldly the fight for the Wall street money power. It drifted so far away from its old-time democratic moor ings that it even scolded at the people for whom it had fought so many battles, because they winced under the galling
 yoke placed upon them by the bond gob- | lers, shylocks and money gamblers, rath- CT than offering them sympathy. This evolution in the once favorite
 among the people, the Advertiser, came while the same editor-in-chief was on duty.
 Here Is the picture: The once beloved and trusted tribune of the people is re-
 pudiated in it's own state. its own dis trict. it's own county, it's own home vot- ing precinct. But day before yesterday
 the last act in the tragedy was performed the sad picture completed.
 The editor-in-chief was forced to pub fish card disappearing from before the people of his district as candidate for congress, and. saddest of all, he, we fear at the expense of candor, alleges as the reason that he can't bend his newly acquired convictions on principle" to
 the overwhelming will desire and de-
 mand of the party that has ever stood
 with, for and by the people.
 This is but poorly drawn picture of
 the sad political demise of a man who
 once had only to ask of hls party to get

RELIGION VS. POLITICS.

Under the above caption the New York Herald in a recent issue, makes the fol- lowing remarks:
 "The Introduction of religion into poll ties is an unwarrantable intrusion, and can only be followed by deplorable re- suits. To divide the country numerically between democrats and republicans is beneficial, but to divide it between Pro- testants and Catholics, or between Meth odists and Episcopalians would be an ir- retr,evable blunder.
 Keep religion out of politics and the different parties and factions can contest for prizes, and even quarrel with a kind of good nature, but if you allow religious questions to enter the political arena, the temperament of the voter is at once changed and bitterness characterizes everything, which is destructive of the best Interests of society.
 There is only one rule in country like this-fght as much as you please, either about religion or politics; let the merry war go on as long as you feel the need of that kind of exercise, but the man who mixes politics and religion at the polls or in the primary meetings Is thereby doing the republic a serious injury"

BANKERS STILL WORKING.

Harvey Fisk 6 Sons, dealers in United | States bonds,' have sent out a circular letter to all the banks and bankers urg- | ing them to exert themselves to have the 1 St. Louis convention to declare for the | existing gold standard" Pasted to this circular letter is this slip:
 ITO Banks and Bankers:
 "A copy of this circular has been sent | to each delegate to the St. Louis conven- tion. We take the liberty of suggest ng | that you see personally, or write or tee- graph to the delegates from your district, and to the leading candidates, urging the adoption at the convention of an unequiv- ocal utterance in favor of maintaining the existing gold standard.
 HARVEY FISK & SONS. New York, June 6, 1896"
 They also send with 1t some gold liter ature prepared by J. Lawrence Laugh lin and others and furnished by the Sound Money league.
 By the same mail comes letter from Henry Bama, another New York "dealer in United States bonds," saying that
 "there will soon be another issue of
 bonds and this issue will be $500, 900, ,000." MT. Rama goes on to say that he is forming a syndicate to take this issue,
 and that large gains are certain, because
 "eVery person who participated Tn the last issue made enormous profits" Taking these two documents together
 it is very easy to see that only the money
 power favors the gold standard. Bond
 issues with enormous profits," cheap
 labor, cheap products and cheap lands
 for the millionaires, and hard times for
 theproducing and manufacturing classes,
 has so far been the result of the gold
 standard. Why should those enjoying
 these fruits desire any change? It Is
 quite possible that "seeing personally"
 and writing letters to the delegates they
 might win a victory for the gold standard at St. Louis, but it is certain that no
 amount of "seeing personally" the dele
 gates to the democratic convention at
 Chicago will prevent the.r standing by the masses of the people.

 A perfumed note from the Fertigulga Young Ladies' Literary society requests that shall appear before them next Friday evening and treat on the subject of Roman politics. The modest missve was written in hand like the gentle south wind caress- ing an acre of ripe rye, and on the first reading 1t appeared to be request to treat on Roman Punch; which, owing to the fact that I'm an honorary member of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, and don't believe in treating at all, was not to be considered; but a more careful perusal and private inquiry has developed that these dear creatures were really in earnest in wishing to pry into the political lodges of back-number people who would have OSSh iiSiuiy cAciuueu lrOLIl lne ''OuT SOc1al World' columns of the State Herald because of their objectionable eccentricities of cos- tune.
 Why young ladies, the lady chairman of the Capitoline Book club and Roman Amelioration Ladies' United Charitable Daughters of the Sabines Benificent Dress Reform associa tion would have presided over the regular reception of the alphabet body, dressed in purple cotton mother hubbard, perfectly plain in the skirt and only slightly gored on the haw side, not even trimmed around the pistol pocket with honiton tape!' And think of the lady presi- dent and executive committee arranging for church supper at the Claudian Exchange hotel and actually appearing there without those necessary articles of lingerie scorned by Jerry Simpson!
 Girls! Girls! Let Roman politics alone and turn your attention to the abstruse and scientific department of the Ladies' Home Journal treating of the proper department to be observed by the giddy debutante in passing the pie-faced young man with the robert-tailed coat and plug hat in front of an ice cream parlor.

- REPUBLICAN, DUPLICITY.

The purpose of the republicans to de- ceive the people is clearly manifest from what Col. Perry s. Heath, Mckinley s press agent, said to 0 New York World reporter in St. Louis day or two since in speaking of the probable financial plank of the republican platform.
 Its the way you say a thing" said the tactful MT. Heath, who draws his inspiration from Major Mckinley him. self. 'If the words gold standard are inserted in the platform it might offend the people who don't exactly agree with us. We can say what we mean without using language that will alienate single republican. It will be a sound money platform. There will be- no straddle- it's just question of phraseology."
 When asked if the platform did not explicitly declare for the gold standard, it would explicitly declare against the 16 to 1 doctrine, MT. Heath answered.:
 You can safely say that whatever the platform does or does not say about the gold standard 1t will declare in unmis- takable terms against the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1.''
 All of which signifies that, although the republican platform will probably make Favorable mention" of silver, it will nevertheless be merely "a question of phraseology" and a real declara ton for sound money" which being interpreted according to republican rules, doctrines and practice means the gold standard and nothing else.
 The populist or free silver republican who votes for the republican candidate xuhn la Ha whether Mckinley, Quay or Reed, will find when too late that he has given his support to @ gold bug.

Mark Hanna, commander-in-chief for Mckinley, explains that his chiefs free silver letter to the Farmers alliance in 1890 was written under the strain and excitement of a long protracted and heated campaign then just about to close, and said much more than the writer would have committed himself to under different circumstances. This is doubtless true, and evidently the little Napoleon has greatly regretted his in discretion. His profound silence Is ominous. He is either political coward or an enemy of the white metal. Other wise he would have declared himself. Does any one doubt that. but for his fear of losing free silver support in the west. he would have long since yielded to the insistent demands of the gold bugs in the north and east?
