FayPTIAN COTTON CROP.

In the crop year 1S94-95 Egypt exported 639, ,5S2 bales of cotton of 75O pounds to the bale. England took the largest part, 27S, ,294 bales, but every manufacturing country of the world took some bales, and the United States took 44,554 bales. Ten years ago, says the March consular reports the United States took but 3S16 bales. but In the year just ended we took, 1t Is estimated, 5O,OO0 bales-equivalen to 75,O00 American bales. The long-fibered Egyptian cotton Is indispensable to manufacturers for certain purposes and it's importation may be said to help rather than injure the consumption of American cotton. For fine threads, with exceptional strength and lustre, Egyp- tan is extremely valuable, and is mixed with American cotton. In quality and price it compares with our sea island cotton. American planters are advised to plant Egyptian seed and try to inn prove their product and profits.

A BATTLING TIME.

The republican convention at St. Louis will have a rattling time. We are in- formed that nearly every state has it's bolting conventions and contesting dele gates, and the charges of bribery and fraud. and angry complaints that pre- sumably honest men are refusing to "stay bought" fill the air. The pinch of the fight will come, of course. in the com mittee on credentials at St. Louis. Quay swears that he is going to control that, and that Mckinley contestants from the south will be fired through the roof of the wigwam." One set or the other is evidently going to be fired in great num- bers and with loud outcries. It is said that the thrifty delegates and contest ants are discounting the possibility and insisting upon advance money" in un- usually large sums, so as to be prepared for the worst. The candidates, the con- vention and the country would also do well to be prepared for the worst

BIRMINGHAM STATE HERALD FRIDAY. MARCH 27 1896

by Aldrich. He had no evidence to prove as matter of fact that fraudulent votes were cast, counted or returned The facts appearing on the face of the returns were not challenged by a word of credible ad- verse proof. Nevertheless a principle was established which governed the case, and 1t will be applied to all contested seat cases
 What is the Alabama principle? It is that where by the census returns 1t appears that greater number of colored voters than white voters reside in a dis trict it will be assumed oonclusively that they all voted the republican ticket or would have done so if they had been present at the polls, and that the repub- lican majority was the same as that or the colored voters over the white voters. The contest is decided on the census re- turns of 1890, not on the vote cast in 1894
 This 'prlnciple' was applied to the Boatner-Benoit contested seat case from Louisiana. Twenty-one thousand votes were cast In the district, of which Benoit received about one-fourth. But part or the district Is In the black belt with great majority of negro voters. It was proved that not a vote was cast nor ballot circulated for Benoit in these coun- ties. But the principle was applied toi throw out Boatner. As Benoit was pop ulist he was not given the seat, ana vacancy was declared. That is where Benoit made his mistake in not bringing his contest as g. republican,
 "But how the Alabama principle ap- plies to the Sixteenth district of Illinois is a mystery Downing had forty ma jorty which is not impeached as to the legality of the vote outside of the 'prin- ciple' The committee must have deter mined that all colored votes cast for Downing should be counted for Rinaker. or that enough negroes in the district to have given the majority to Rinaker did not vote, and the votes which they did not cast should be counted for him on the Alabama principle that whether negro votes or not. and whatever ticket he votes, he must be counted for the re- publican candidate"
Birmingham state herald., 1896-03-27
THE ALABAMA PRINCIPLE.

The Chicago Record has discovered what Is known among republicans in congress as "the Alabama principle" Re- ferring to a contested Illinois case. that paper says:
 "A somewhat oracular statement was made 8 few days ago in regard to the Rinaker- Downing contested seat case in congress from the Sixteenth Illinois dis trict. The partisan committee on cleo tions had substantially agreed on a re- port in favor of Rinaker, the republican candidate defeated at the polls. Down. ing had procured some additional testi- mony which he desired to present, show ing that his majority of forty consisted of legal votes honestly cast, counted, canvassed and returned. It was an nounced that the testimony would not be admitted. as 1t would not change the committees decision, which was based on the principles of the Aldrich case from Alabama.
 'The house has settled the Aldrioh case Gaston A. Robbins. the democratic can didate in the Fourth Alabama district, was elected by 30SS majority over w. F. Aldrich, the populist and republican can didate. The vote was 10.49l for Robbins and TAOS for Aldrioh.

THE IRON TRADE.

It is of very great interest to the min eral section of this country to know that there is growing activity in the iron>mar- kets of Europe. The iron trade all over Europe is in prosperous condition. In France there has been only slight in crease in production but the iron works are all busy. In Belgium the volume or trade has increased, and some of the larger works have difficulty in keeping up with orders, especially for rails and structural steel for export In Germany there are also reported orders enough to keep the works busy. The exports of iron and steel of all kinds from Germany for the eleven months to November 30 were 1,3S7,311 metric tons, an increase of 68, ,150 tons, or 5.2 per cent over 1894, and of 276OS3 or PAS per cent over 1893. In Austria Hungary there was in Novem- Der and December a remarkable revival in the iron trade, and all the works are full of orders.

VERY PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

The Montgomery Journal in the fol- lowing style asks some very pertinent questions:
 Why shouldn't Johnston be nomiuat- ed for governor? What has he done to
 merit the abuse of the Montgomery Ad- vertiser? What has he done to merit condemnation by the party? Was it his candidacy for governor four years ago when he was loyal to the party and turned over 100 votes to Governor Jones
 and thereby secured the nomina-
 tion of Governor Jones? Was. it the active fight he made for
 Jones in that memorable campaign?
 Was it because of his liberal contr- buttons to the campaign fund and to
 the fund made to defray personal ex- penSes of one of the candidates? Was it for the services he rendered the party in 1895 in behalf of Governor Oates after Governor Oates was nominated over him in one of the most heated contests ever
 witnessed in this state? MT. Lawson
 says that as member of the campaign committee he remembers that Johnston
 was one of the speakers most in demand everywhere. and that he did most ef- fective work for the ticket. Not only did he work, but he contributed literally to
 the campaign fund. sending $200 to one county and $250 to another county, and this was done after the county commit teese had appealed to the state commit
 tees in vain for help to save the county and the legislative tickets. Draw on me- he said,> for whatever amount you
 may need to carry the county for Oates and they drew and their drafts were hon ored. Morgan was one of those counties.
 Is 1t any wonder that the democrats of
 Morgan are for Johnstcr and went to 1 for him? They remembered Captain
 Johnston's patriotic and unselfish act in the interest of the nominee for gov
 ernor and of the county ticket and, un- like many of those who are now support ing MT. Clarke. they united in honoring man who had been true to them in their hour of need. They were grateful, and gratitude is one of the virtues of the saints-and 1t Is saintly to-be grateful"

SOUTH CAROLINA.

Every southerner Is proud of the growth of South Carolina in manufactur- ing. It's progress in cotton manufactur- ing has been rapid. There are not so many cotton mills in the state as there are in North Carolina or Georgia, but the South Carolina mills are usually much larger than those of other southern states, with the result that the state con- sumes more cotton and makes more goods than any other southern state. The num- Der of spindles in the state is S00OO0, and with the projected new mills that number will be increased to over 100000 during the year. Another cause of pride in the state is the claim that at least 80 per cent of the capital invested in it's cotton mills is local capital, the bulk of 1t fur nished by the people of Charleston.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Nice Trip Via the Southern Railway to Rich
 s- mond, Va.

The sixth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held at Richmond, Va, June 30, July 1aand 2. 1896, and the Southern has announced the very satisfactory rate of cent per mile travelled.
 It is expected that this will be the largest reunion ever held by the veterans. and to this end the Southern will lend every effort. The Southern operates two trains daily from Birmingham to Rich mond. with a schedule of about twenty five hours between these points. I will take pleasure in copferring with persons desiring to arrange for special equipment for organized parties.

When the Advertiser sounded its warn ing months ago that Kolb intended to attempt the life of the democratic party when it did not yield to his pretensions, many people secuted the idea. Some of his staunchest followers recoiled from the
 idea with horror and denounced the statement as an unjust assault upon @ loyal democrat. None can doubt now. How there could have been doubts for months past we do not understand. Kolb has gone all the gaits thorough repub- lican would. under present conditions, to undermine the democratic party. One of the most effective ways, indeed, the

Political soothsayers predict that the situation plainly indicates the selection of a western republican nominee for president. with the odds in favor of Me- Kinley, and, failing him. more probably either Ex-President Harrison or Senator Cushman R. Davis of Minnesota. For no one has ever taken seriously the so- called declination of MT. Harrison. To the contrary, it is held that contingencies not at all unlikely to occur may at some critical period bring him to the front and force his nomination, when undoubtedly he will accept it. But at any rate there is not much difference in the acceptance of the fact that MT Reed is no longer to be considered as an important element in the game.
