The First Methodist Church.

In last Sundays issue of your paper there is an article in regard to the First Methodist church, south, or Birmingham. Certain of us are named as the men who built the church. This is incorrect. The church was built and is being paid for by the membership and generous and ap- preciated contributions from friends The membership generally has contrib uted and earnestly co-operated with the officials in their efforts to pay off the debt on the church. The ladies have done much towards liquidating the debt The balance of the debt will be paid by the members and friends of the church. Most of the men mentioned in the arti- cle referred to are now on the board of stewards, and the board requests that you publish this statement so that jus tice may be done to all the members and friends of the church.
 By order of the stewards.

As the time approaches for the adjournment of Congress the people grow restless, fearing that the needed legislative reform, promised so emphatically by the Republicans during the campaign, will not come to pass. But the real surprise is not that the Republican party has failed to redeem its pledges-such it never did-but that the people ac- tually expect it to. 'fYou cannot fool all of the people all the time, " though, however credulous they be, and their eyes are already open sufficient to reveal to them "where they are at" And promises will not suffice to gain a victory for the Republicans this A. D. 1896.

British capitalists are the large own CTS of the Spanish bonds based on Gu ban revenues, and they might not rel ish the independence of the island un- less the bonds were provided for.
 With the United States as an inter- vening power it might be possible to se- cure an arrangement by which the Gu bans themselves would assume the bonds with this country as a guaran- teer.
 Intervention by this country in any way, even if it did not result in the i'm mediate independence of the island, would unquestionably force Spain to grant local self government. Promote the commerce of Cuba and therefore in- crease the value of the bonds, whose only security are the receipts of Cuban oustomhouses.
 Such suggestion might be expected to come later on, but for the present Great Britain is eontented with inform ing the United States that all fear of European interference with our Cuban policy is at an end.
 It is also thought if the United States, with the moral support of Great Brit ain, interferes with the Cuban war it will make the two countries allies and hasten, rather than retard. favorable and friendly conclusion of the Venezu- elan boundary dispute.
 It looks as though Cuba is now as- sured of either independence or genuine colonial government, such as Great Britain gives to Canada and Australia

TARIFF REFORM THE ISSUE.

The nomination of Mckinley for President by the Republicans can be no more satisfactory to anyone than to the Democrats. We're they all lowed to make the selection he would be nominated on the first ballot. His nomination means that the battle is to be waged over the tariff-free trade against protection, the masses against the favored classes, the con sumers against the trusts-and in such an unequal conflict Democracy can easily triumph. All past vic tories have been won on this issue, and it is the sole hope of success in this campaign. Democrats should use every effort, therefore, to make this the battle ground of the pres ent campaign, and should nominate tariff reformer of tried worth, and one who has been prominent in the mighty combats with protection, plutocracy and trusts. Granting all the blessings claimed for free silver by it's most jealous advocates, they would be but ephemeral under existing tariff laws. Soon the increased volume of money would be amassed in the purses of the protected classes, and the masses would be only in a worse plight. Victory, through the tariff issue, is before Democracy, will it seize it?

ENGLAND FAvoRs THE cuBANs.
It Is Reported She Will Take the Sam,
 View ns the United States.

1t Is Reported She Will Take the Same
 View as the United States.
 WASHINGTON, March 26. It Is report cd here that aid for Cuba has come from an unexpected source. It is said that England will follow the United States in recognizing the Cuban patri- ots. An informal intimation to this ef- feet has been received at the state de- partInent, and the Cuban question has changed at once owing to this sudden development.
 While Spain has been preparing for an appeal to European nations against the United States, Great Britain has quietly taken the other tack. and decid- cd to join with the United States in helping Cuba. Such communication was not conveyed in an official letter, but 1t is said Secretary Olney was given to understand by Sir Julian Paunoefote that Great Britain would not only not object to any action the United States might take in regard to Cuba, but would even welcome any reasonable in- terference which would tend tostop the war now going on in the island.
 That such an intimation was given semiofficially waa learned positively Tuesday night, and the effect of the in- formation when it becomes generally known will be to render almost certain speedy action by this country.
 Great Britain deplores the warfare on the island. and English commercial interests could not look on unmoved while the price of sugar was moving upward as the result of the destruction of Cuban canefields. Therefore came the intimation that Great Bsitain would gladly stand aside and see the United States take the initiative in Cuba.
 No promises were made that could bind Great Britain in any way, and the queens government was not put on record in any way. but Secretary olney has been given to understand that if the president deoides to recognize the patriots as belligerents Great Britain will not be far behind in doing the same.

 NEW YORK, March 26-The World has the following correspondence from Santiago, Cuba. dated March IT:
