TOO MUCH CRIME.

Within the past two weeks there has
been an unusually large number of high
way robberles reported in this city, some
OF them attended with possible bodily
harm, and one wherein the victim was
left unconscious. Some of the victims.
too, were. ladies, -homeward bound from
an afternoons shopping
This is indeed deplorable piece of
news to be aired before the outside world,
but Birmingham must keep up with the
procession. for, has. she not thrown off
| the swaddlfng clothes and donned the
raiments Of a metropolitan city?
| For time there was a lull in the an
| nails OF crime in American cities and
| towns, but within tbs time mentioned
| bedlam seems to have let loose, and the
| earth in many instances has run red with
| human blood, while in others unsuspect-
| ing citizens have been. held up at the
| point of reyolvers, and even the deadly
knockout drop" resorted to to accom-
plsh the desired end. 81
This occasional outbreak of crime can
not be explained away, unless it is that
there is a dearth of reformation for the
youth of the land whose heritage was d
life of crime and shame.
Many infants are the scions Of cut
Threats and murderers, and unless they
are checked in their early careers OF
crime the penitentiary walls and even the
| gallows Is certain to be their future re-
ward.
Let the law makers throughout this
| broad land take UP the subject of TOO
| much crime" and, if possible. End a
| remedy Let them establish schools of
| reformation In every congressional dis
| trict and place at their heads men and
women of stern, upright, capable quail
| ties, and when the signs Of the criminal
| crop out in a child consign him or her
| to one of these places and there let them
| remain until every trace of crime is Grad
| icated from their system.
| Alabama needs such schools. There is
a plenty, of food for such institutions
| within the borders of our fair state.

While the Advertiser is pretending to

like supporting a democrat in the prima-

general election. Or, to make 1T plain,
pretending to be democratic newspaper
and supporting a republican. We will
vouch that neither Catalina nor ''Cethe-
gus" if guilty of such an act. would not
attempt to recall history to sustain a
break in photography, when serious sins
that the political historians would weep
over rested against them.

| agreement was made at the demand of
those vitality interested In the perpetual
maintenance of the gold standard, pure
and simple, and they will never yield one
jot or title of that for which they bar
gained and paid by way of gigantic
campaign fund. The further pledge to
promote international, agreement was a
subterfuge and a fraud, made and in
tended to hoodwink and deceive honest
and simple minded folk The promise
was not made to be kept, nor will it be
kept. International bimetallsm would
as completely thwart the schemes and
prevent the purposes Of the gold mono
metallist as would Independent free
coinage of gold and silver by the United
States alone. 1t would take from gold
a large measure of its abnormal and
fictitious value, thereby reducing its pur-
chasing power, and put an end to the
robbery of all producing classes for the
benefit of the money owners, and this is
what the gold standard advocates don't
want and will never permit so long as
they have control of the republican party
and the national Administered ton, as they

OF the republican party and it's allies,
the ex-democratic gold bugs, are crying
down the suggestion of the possibility of
international agreement, and the cry will
grow louder and longer until that pledge
of the republican platform is practically
il not openly repudiated.
There will be no sincere and earnest
effort made by the Mckinley admins

delusion had as well dismiss it without

HERE Is A HERO

Representative Robinson, who on Fri
day introduced bill in the lower house
of the general assembly to be known as
the "Anti-High Hat BILL" little dreamed
that he was building for himself d monu-
ment more durable than stone or bronze.
That it required a great deal Of nerve
there can be no doubt, as a man who
dares assail a woman's prerogatives must
have the courage of an untamed lion.
Meme save those who have paid an extra
large price for the privilege of seeing
star, can imagine the disappointment
when, on going to the play house and
taking his seat, finds one Of the latest
editions Of an ostrich's production lavish
ly displayed on the head of some fair So
ciety dame. Ii is not notifying. oh, no!
1t is simply disgusting.
Keep up the good work, brave knight,
and may he who dares refuse to cham
pion your cause be everlastingly doomed
to sit On q red hot stove and gaze upon
the picturesque background of a mill rock
without a hole in it.

THE GIRLS FEAR INDIANS.

We notice in the Mobile Register of
the goth an editorial commenting on the
use of the Mount Vernon property. After
deciding that it will not be used for the
convicts, it suggests that the Girls In
dustrial school, which has been located
at Montevallo and so successfully
launched on the fields of education be
moved to Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon, as Is well-known, has
been the abode of an Indian camp for
several years past and, situated where 1t
is, we hardly think that the Register
can be in earnest about establishing q
girls school there. The question of To-
cation has been settled after years dis
cussion, and the success of the school is
demonstrating the wisdom of the loca-
ton. The contract for one wing of the
new building has already been let and
work is now going on. 1t is not a ques-
ton of removal to come before the leg
islature--it is question of appropriate
ing the last dollar that can be spared to
continue in the good work that has be-
gun so nicely and so well.
The location at Montevallo is an ideal
one. No better place in the state could
have possibly been selected.
By the wisely directed and energetic
efforts of the schools president, Capt
H. C. Reynolds, no state institution in
our knowledge ever had a more prosper
Gus beginning. Pupils are there from all
over the state. Our girls have been sad
ly neglected in the line of state schools
and at this late day it is time change
was made. An educated mother means
educated and Intelligent children. This
school is intended to aid girls in making
their own way in the world, as well as
fitting them for the more responsible
duties of life. We hope the legislature
will deal with liberal hand with this
institution, and all will be we'll Remem-
Der how well our boys have been provided
for and ask yourselves the question, as
it not time something was done for our
girls?" Dbl @iu4.., .f-i.rv.

THE ADVERTISER VS., MODERN HIS
TORY. ..

Whether cleveland & Carlisle" or
Carlisle & Cleveland" is to be the firm,
name and style, is not announced but re-
port goes, and it is Inherently probable,
that these two, the Catalina and the
Cethegers of the democratic party will
be associated in some sort of practice
after the 4th of March next, in the city
of New York.-State Herald.
Probably the fellow who wrote that
meant Cethegus, who was in business
with Catalihe for a brief period. How
ever. the State Herald probably knows
as little about ancient history as it DOES
about finance and democracy, 1t is
more than likely that Cleveland and Car
isle will continue in the business of kill
ing out popullsm-to the State Herald's
disgust. Montgomery Advertiser.
The editor of the Advertiser may be
coed on ancient history. but not a man

the Advertiser is not up on modern his

EDITORIAL OPINIONS.

Setting spies to watch Bismarck is an
excellent plan to cause another explosion.
The old mans temper will not be sweet
ened to find himself the object of suspi-
cion.-Baltimore American, Republican.
If Grover Cleveland, Thomas B. Reed
and John Sherman will sit down together
and talk over the matter, leaving politics
out of account, they can easily enough
agree on a measure which will not inter-
fere with business a particle, and will
at the same time furnish all the revenue
needed for carrying on the government in
the future-Hartford Times, Mugwump.
David Bennett Hill has at last come out
of his hole, and now proposes to take
hand in the reorganiza ton of the New
York democracy. David Bennett has
doubtless run his course, and for the flu
ture will be a back number. He had his
opportunity and failed to embrace 1t.
hereafter neither faction of the demo-
cratic party will have any confidence in
him.-Richmond State, Gold
The Venezuelan affair will be memoir

greatly indebted to Grover Cleveland; 1t

given to Grover Cleveland He was the
king of the Cannibal Island Goldbugs,
and he threw all of his influence in favor

land Plain Dealer, dem.
/. A number of republican silver senator's
have already announced their intention
iof abandoning the ridiculous device of
last winter, and voting for the Dingley
bill. 1t is limited that President Cleve-
land would veto the bill IL passed. We
doubt this. He is stubborn, but he can
not afford to add to the burden which he
has saddled upon himself during his Sec
ond term. He may conclude that one
reasonable act of domestic administra-
ton will help to modify the popular judg-
ment passed upon many unreasonable
acts.-Baltimore American, rep.
