The organ of the REPUBLICAN AID
SOCIETY published at Montgomery is
making piteous appeals to some papers
in Alabama to cross over the line, desert
their party in the face of the enemy and
go with it to the yankees, but all to no
avail. With a very few insignificant ex-
ceptions the democratic press of Alabama
is standing and will continue to stand by

There never was military code which
did not punish with death desertion in
the presence ofthe enemy. The crime is
aggravated and the punishment would,
il possible, be made heavier when the
deserter turns traitor and goes over to
the foe and fires on his former comrades,
no matter what the motive or whether
the traitor changes his uniform or not.
The common sense and sentiment of
mankind recognizes the same rules and
obligations in politics as in war, and
cannot but despise Benedict Arnolds in
both alike.

Montgomery, when you come to think
of it, is not an suspicious place to set up
revolutions, bolts or the like. Witness
the fate of the one started there in 1861
and the other one intimated in 1892. Both
were infinitely stronger and more reason
able and promising than the poor little
thing Matched out there on the 4th of
August by the Republican Aid society,"
and yet both came to grief and utter
ruin. Such scrawny, belated Hedging
as this last has not in it the material for
q wreck. 1t can only come to nothing.

For the ultimate, unapproachable IL
lustra ton of the grace of modesty, com
mend us to man who became democrat
ic nominee for governor of Alabama by
virtue of his very weakness, in two cam
paigns wiped out 99,736 of It's majority
and now tells as that the great democrat
ic convention of 1896 were swept off their
feet and captured by wild speech and
trod down the time-honored principles
of the democratic party. OF course, II
the mighty Ex-Governor Jones had been
there he would have stood firm; he would
have brought back the two-thirds major
ity of that convention to their sense s; he
would have made them indorse Cleve-
landism and goldbuggery, and then all
his political ambition would have been
gratifed-not satisfied, for that is i'm
possible-with seat in the United States
senate or a perch somewhere on the fed
eral bench. Oh, yes, the ex-governor
would have done miracles had he only
been there-he would he WOULD But he
wasn't there and SO he came to Lake
view and spoke.

AS HONORABLE MEN THAY ARE
ESTOPPED

One of the ablest and most active sup
porters Mr.. Clarke had in his contest for
the democratic nomination was the Hon.
e. L. Russell of Mobile. Mr. Russell is
also a believer in the Sound money"
theory, the issue upon which Mr.. Clarke
made his campaign. Being an ardent
supporter of Mr.. Clarke in the primaries
and a Sound money" man, it cannot be
charged that Mr.. Russell did not under
stand the issue. He says it was agreed
and understood that the financial ques-
ton was to be fought out in the prima-
ries and that for that purpose Mr.. Clarke
was called upon to make the race for
governor That we may make no mis-
take, we quote here exactly what Mr..
Russell says on that point:
'The gold democrats in a conference
at Montgomery decided to present the
issue squarely in the April primary by
presenting Mr. Clarke as the representa-
tive of the sound money cause. In TAX
ing this action they deliberately COM
mtted themselves to the result of the
primary"
Here we have it directly from Mr.. Rus
sell, a sound money" man, that the gold
men deliberately concluded to submit
their case in the primaries, and there
fore bound themselves as honorable men
to abide the results of that primary.
Here is what Mr.. Russell says about
the men who went into that primary
meeting and, becoming dissatisfied with
the result, now bolt the party
"If the democrats of this state who
agreed with me upon the financial ques-
ton did not intend to honorably abide by
the result of the primary election In
April they should have abstained from
taking any part in it. In the absence of
fraud, | cannot understand how any man
governed by a sense of right and honor
who participated in the primary election
in April can now refuse to support the
Chicago ticket. In other words, demo-
crat might refuse to vote If he partlcl-
pated in the primary (and In this l be-
lieVe he would be recreant to his duty
and obligation, but l cannot see how he
can reconcile his action in supporting
another electoral ticket"
We think every fair-minded man must
agree with Mr.. Russell in his conclu-
sions. 1t is certain that many of those
who are now talking of boiling the party
have not stopped to think. We do not
believe there are 100 men in the city OF
Birmingham who will take the fatal step
after seriously rejecting and fully COM
pretending the position bolt of the ac-
ton of the party would place them in
the eyes of their friends and neighbors

Story O, q Titled spendthrift.

In Vienna man has just been buried
who, though he lived i'll great poverty,
was closely connected with the royal
house of Wurttemberg. This was Count
Eberhard von Wurttemberg, grandson Of
Duke William of Wurttemberg and the
Baroness Tunderfeld. In his youth he
made himself so disagreeable to the
reigning house by his eccentricities that
he was kept prisoner in the Ulm for
tress. His escape was romantic affair.
He swan across the Danube and fed to
Austria, never to leave it again until
death.
He had few wants and succeeded IL
living on next to nothing until the king
of Wurttemberg gave him an annuity.
But he regularly spent the whole of 1t
during the first half of the month and
had nothing to live or during the rest.
Part of his small income was spent
upon his daughter, who survives him.
Count Ebcrhard composed music, and
his one joy in life was to hear military
bands play his compositions. Of which
the Alexander, Tegetthof aud Emperor
William marches are still on their roper
tory. His purse was empty, as usual,
after his three days illness, and this
cousin of the king of Wurttemberg, with
his fine physique and noble bearing, had
third class funeral and no mourners
except mis- poor landlsdy. He reached
the age of SO and had lived 40 years in
Austria. London Standard.

B1ice and the Cabbies.

Every man with a plug hat ana a
heavy beard who leaves the capitol, on
the east side, after the adjournment OF
the senate, creates regular scramble
among the "cabbies" who stand on that
side of the building. for just at that
time they are looking for Senator Brice,
who invariably rides home in one OF
these vehicles and who never gives less
than @ dollar for very short ride, and
not infrequently considerably more,
which fact makes the senator very de-
sirable passenger. and hence the unusual
scramble of the "cabbies. y
The senator seems to enjoy it, how
ever, and usually takes the first vehicle
that reaches him, whether it be hack,
a cab, hanson or coupe.
The other evening the senator, togeth-
er with friend, was leaving the CAPT
tol at the usual exit, and when the
"cabbies' saw him the usual scramble
ensued, and the senator had hardly walk
ed ten yards before he was surrounded
BY no less than dozen vehicles OF every
description. But the senator did not seem
to take the rush in his usual smiling
way on this day, and walking over near
the cab stand he and his friend jumped
into the only vehicle that did not make
O dart to secure him.
The driver did not recover from his
establishment for about minute, but
when he did he whipped up, and going
past his brother "cabbies' he nearly fell
off his seat laughing, while the senator
looked out of the window and smiled

The Popc's Private Apartments.

To the pope's bedroom only his pri-
vate valet and his secretaries have ac-
cess. 1t is OF small dimensions, and con-
tains only bed, in an alcove adorned
with graceful marble columns, writ
ing table, an armchair and kneeling
stool and one wardrobe.
Besides these, there is his private
Study, in which the table and chair
stand upon little carpeted platform,
other tables being placed on each side
upon the floor, together with an e1-
tremely uncomfortable but magnificent
straight backed armchair, which is one
of the gifts offered on the occasion of
the episcopal jubilee There is, more
over, little room containing only an
old lounge and an old fashioned easy
chair with wings, and nothing else.
1t is here that The holy father retires
to take his afternoon nap, and the ro-
bust nature of his nerves is proved by
the fact that he lies down with his eyes
facing the broad light of the window.
This private apartment occupies the
second floor, according to Italian reckon
ing, though we Americans should call it
the third. 1t is on level with Raphael S
loggie. The floor above it is inhabited
by Cardinal Rampolla, the secretary

Not long before Lincoln was first
nominated for the presidency he went to
New York 70 make a political speech at
the Cooper Union. While there, accord
ing to writer in the Philadelphia
Press, he wandered about the citya good
deal and once went to the Five Points,
then the most notorious of New York
Sums.
There he was attracted by the sound
of music, and perceiving upon door al
invitation to strangers to enter he went
in and found himself in the Five Points
mission.
His manner betrayed so much interest
in the children, especially in their sing
ing, that the superintendent, though he
didnot know him, invited him to speak.
MIR. Lincoln accepted the invitation,
and, as the superintendent used to say,
talked to the children just as lovin9
and wise father might have talked TO
his own sons and daughters, without a
trace of pedantry or cant. After the ex-
ercises the superintendent asked the
stranger for his name.
my name is Lincoln, )" was the an
swer. az live in Illinois.
And then the superintendent knew
that the speaker must be the man whose
address at the Cooper Union had been
so much talked about the last few days.

Told on Richard Harding Davis.

Richard Harding Davis, according to
Vanity, is not al ardent admirer OF
Henry Irving and Miss Terry. When one
recalls his quarrel with Edward W.
Townsend over the Major Max" arti-
Gle, it is not surprising that he should
not like Miss Terry, for on meeting him
she told him how glad she was to know
him, how much she had enjoyed his
work in the past, and how much she
anticipated reading his last book,
"Chimmio Fadden, which was SO we'll
spoken OF Mr.. Irving also made sad
mistake when Davis, at dinner given
to Mr.. Irving, was honored by sitting
next to him. Davis had arrayed himself
with rows of orders and medals present.
ed to him hy the sultan and the presi-
dent of Bolivia and various other digni-
taries. These orders Mr.. Davis would
no moro tya9el without than be would
without his toothbrush. 1t was with
satisfaction, therefore, that he saw they
attracted tue attention of Mr.. Irving.
and all the guests noticed that the actor
raised his eyeglass and scanned them
closely, and, alas, for Mr.. Davis, all the
guests heard Mr.. Irving remark: "How
Interesting Ialways like to see college

A Feat OF Penmanship.

In 1866 Robert Stewart, a famous
master of penmanship, executed e5
Bank of England note with such mar
velous accuracy and reality that he was
waylaid in the streets one night and
robbed Of the note by ruffian who had
seen it in his possession few hours
previously. Stewart, indignant at the
treatment to which he had been subject,
gave chase to the thief, and with the
assistance of the police succeeded in re-
covering the sham note.
At the subsequent police court pro-
ceedings no one seemed TO have the
slightest suspicion as to the genuine
ness of the note, which was handed
round to the various persons engaged in
the case.
A few weeks later Stewart, who was
a personal friend of the cashier Of the
local (Newcastle- on-Tyne) bank, took
the note to him one morning and asked
that it might be cashed. In return for
it he received five sovereigns, and left
the bank.
An hour or two afterward he paid a
second visit to his friend the cashier,
and taking him on one side confessed
that the note was forgery and re-
funded him the money. The cashier,
whose surprise was great, refused to
believe the note was counterfeit, and
was not Convinced until Stewart had
executed another one in his presence

arrested i'll the Lebaudy case i'll Paris.
is portrait painter in Berlin. She is
Hungarian by birth, small. we'll formed.
still young and very good looking.
Although Nine. Parlaghi is not
favorite with her artistic colleagues i'll
Berlin, she has painted the portraits of
famous persons, such as Moltke, Louis
Kossuth, WindthorSt, the former leader
of the center of the reichstag, aud EN-
peror William II. The emperor ex-
pressed himself us satisfied with the
picture.
Nine Parlaghi is in the habit of
complaining of the jealousy Of her col
leagues in art. To this Jealousy, she
said, was due the refusal TO admit the
portrait of Moltke to an art exhibition
in Berlin, although Moltke is alleged TO
have declared the portrait TO be the
best picture of him ever done. She COM
planned to Emperor William IL, who
was gallant enough to buy tho picture
He thus put himself in conflict with
the Jury of artists and provoked endless
discussion in the German press. BY his
order the portrait was placed III the
grand hall of the exhibition. William
II openly censured the decision of the
Jury in language rather disreSpectful to
the artists, and added that i'll the grand
hall of honor, but for the portrait OF
Moltke. there would not be single
work of real art The journals of Berlin
made fun of this opinion guardedly,
both in prose and i'll poetry.
Nine. Parlaghi became celebrated
after receiving these evidences OF i'm
perial favor. A merchant III Cologne
asked her for portrait of Bismarck,
who, he said, was his personal friend.
She wrote Il letter to the eX-chancellor.
announcing her arrival Ill Friedrichs-
rub. but the letter was not opened, and
she and her husband returned to the
railroad station TO take the train fer
Hamburg. But Bismarck, who was ont
riding met the couple and invited them
to remain. He went to the kitchen and
gave orders to increase the dinner bill,
as the princess was at Hamburg.
Nine. Parlaghi gained her point and
few days afterward she began the por-
trait, for which she needed only two sit
tings. After the first sitting, on Jan. /,
1898, Bismarck invited her to dinner.
A few days later, while the prince was
posing for the second time, he spoke
thus of the Moltke incident:
"When q man raises himself above
the level of average intelligence, he eX-
cites envy, but when a woman has to
struggle with men, they treat her rough
~"
Nine Parlaghi gave drawing lessons
to the Empress of Russia when the en-
press was only Princess Alix of Hesse.
At present she is making a full length
