A MOTHERS THANKS,
.essrs. Johnston, Holloway & Co.

Messrs. Johnston, Holloway & Co.,,
 Philadelphia, Pa.
 Dear Sirs:-For several months I have been intending to write you in regard to your Heiskell's Soap. I use 1t exclusively for my baby, and have done ever since she was so terribly affected with Eczema. We owe the cure of the latter to Heis- soap for washing the affected parts, and afterwards for the whole body, and since then I have used nothing else. My baby now has beautiful skin, while at the time of our first trying your Ointment and Soap her face a mass of running sores. Hoping that other mothers may find the same relief for their little ones, in using these articles that 1 have for my baby, and thanking you most sincerely, l am very truly yours,

THEY WERE PLEASED.
Inmates of the County Jail Return Thanks to
 the State Herald for Courtesies.
The following eommunlcation has be.

The following communication has been received by the State Herald:
 Birmingham, Ala, Jan 2, 1896. To the State Herald:
 To whom we were indebted for the many and highly appreciated papers, pe- riodicals, etc, whom to thank for such thoughtful consideration, whom to show our most profound respect, so duly mer- ited, remained a mystery and kept us wondering until we saw the latest issue of your always welcomed paper. Gen tlemen, one and all, our gratitude is bare of observation-disclosures words fail We know of nothing more congenial, nothing which might have afforded us more pleasure than these papers. In return we, in addition to many thanks, tender you the wish of all wishes, a happy New Year. May you live to see the repeti- tion of this event in numbers endless to eternity-to the qualification of your relatives and friends and In compensa- tion for the nobility of your sympathetic hearts. There was not a person in prison who, through the medium of these pa- pers, did not hear from some well re- membered spot or some name familiar.
 Exclamations to that effect could be heard all over the jail as anxious eyes were scaning the columns for more news. It was a congenial and cheerful day for us, and not until the clock struck 9, the hour assigned here for Morphelf, which defines any other demonstration of life save that of sleep, that memory, refresh- ed by tidings from your paper, was forced to cease in words only to give way and dwell in that misty and happy land of dreams. No doubt many wore the smiles on sleeping lips in epitaph of the past. those silent, but by far most dem onstrative tributes of happiness and an assurance of a total momentary banish- ment of all surrounding circumstances let it be in prison or stately mansions. May God protect you in your noble works. Respectfully,
 INMATES OF JEFFERSON COUNTY
 JAIL.

WITH THE COURTS.

Governor Oates has returned the lett
 tefs and inducements forwarded to him
 by applicants for appointment to the so- licitorship, which was made vacant by | MT. Littles resignation. Governor
 Oates has not accepted the reported res | ignation, and in letter to each of the ap-
 pllcants he has the following to Say: l u tI investigated the question as to | whether there was any vacancy. Tie | only evidence in my possession is a letter | from the wife of MT. Little saying that | her husband had directed her to tender | me his resignation of the said office. Not | doubling for a moment that MT. Little | expressed such desire to his wife, on ex- | aminatio of the authorities l am con- | strained to hold that she could not thus | resign his office for him, and from the in- | formation I have I do not think that his | mental condition is such as to enable him by his own act, which would be binding | in law, to tender his resignation. There ] is therefore. no vacancy to be filled. Under the statutes his assistant MT. Bradley and MT Ferguson, the solic- | itor for the Tenth circuit, have full au- | thority to carry on prosecutions in the criminal court in Jefferson county in the name of MT. Little, as has been done heretofore, or in the name of Mir. Fer guson, as provided in the statutes. I find nothing in our statutory law which provides for case of this kind. It seems to be casus omissus on the part of the legislature, but the prosecutions can proceed. and MT. Little's salary, If his wife is so disposed, can be given to the assistant solicitors to do the work of the office until the stability of MT. Lit tie is removed"
 The criminal court will meet Monday morning, and after empaneling grand jury some action will be taken by the court In the matter.

HE DIED IN BED.
Charles Norton, Panter Breathes His Las
 After Retiring.

N'tc' nctiih'S'
 Charles Norton, a white man, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning
 He boarded at the old hospital build ing on South Twentieth street. between Avenues A and B. He is a painter by trade and worked on Wednesday. He has been drinking heavily of late, it is said. After a light supper Wednesday evening Norton retired early, saying that he was feeling unwell. A man by the name of Rogers roomed with him and they occupied the same bed. When Rogers awoke yesterday morning his bed fellow was corpse. How long life had been extinct was not known, but 1t must have been several hours, as rigor mortis had stiffened the body.
 The remains were carried to Warner & Smiley's and Coroner Dusenberry began an investigation, which will probably be concluded today.
 No note, letters or anything of the kind have been found throwing light on the mans sudden death

FREE SILVER MEXICO.

The fact that a republic adjoins
the United States which has the
free and unlimited coinage of
silver makes it easy to observe
the practical workings of a
policy which we are told would
make US exceedingly prosper
Gus.
Some of our silverites are
either SO ignorant or so reckless
that they point to Mexico as an
illustration of free silver pro-
sperity. The intelligent people
of the United States, however,
know the trl tn about Mexic, ;.
They know that the Mexican
dollar is worth just half what
our silver dollar. is worth either
here or in Mexico, though the
former contains more silver bull
lion than the latter. They know
that wages even in this depres
ciated currency r. much lower
in Mexico than in the United
States and that the necessaries
of life are much higher there.
The late DIR. James E. Reeves
said:
never thought is possible to
put shocking squalor and gllded
plutocracy SO close together as
[ saw them in the City of Mex
leo. The masses, Indians, are
still virtually slayes, except here
and there a man among them,
like Juarez, Diaz and others,
whose native force puts them up.
[ dined with a dignitary off gold
plates. After the dinner I went
for a stroll, but the beggery and
hideous poverty on the streets
sickened me, and drove me in
doors. The country has pro-
crossed under Diaz. Of course;
but, Lord, Lord, it is far and
away behind the most backward
rigion of the United States, in
all particulars.
The silverites had better be-
ware of illusions to Mexico.

Manley's belittling view of the
Mckinley boom is interfering
chiefly because Marley is a
boomer of experience himself.
He has managed several Presi-
Dental booms and sen then wax
rapidly in the springtime only to
wane before the summer brought
the convention. Marley insists
that McKinley's boom is not
nearly SO big as it is represented
or as it is popularity supposed to
he, and anyhow it is the other
booms that are going to grow
from now on, particularly that
of the candidate from Maine.
One way he has of reducing Me-
Kiniey's claims is by marking
off a lot of delegates as contest
ed. There is no doubt that con-
tests will play a prominent part
at st. Louis, and the committee
on credentials may hold the
winning hand.

THE DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

It is safe, we think, to predict
the nomination of Mr.. Mckinley
as the Republican candidate for
President.
It is also probable that the
Republican platform will be vas
gne on the currency question and
that a demand for higher pros
lection will be it's main featu1e
If the platform is to fit the cans
didate it will be as we have in
dictated. Mr.. Mckinley repre-
sents the protective principle
more distinctly than any other
man in the country and he rep-
resents nothing in relation to the
currency.
His nomination will therefore
give the Democratic party the
best opportunity it could poss
sibly have in the coming cam
paign.
The New York World analyses
the situation correctly and indi>
Gates the true course of the De-
cracy when it says:
The st. Louis convention will
nominate Mckinley. AS his
views upon monetary questions
mean nothing definite, So it's plat
form utterance is likely to mean
nothing. There is hopeless di-
vision IN the party on this vital
question. It viii pretty certain
ly find expression in meaningless
equivocations, and the time has
gone by when such can deceive
or satisfy the men on either side.
Now what, under these cir
cumstances, are the Democrats
going to do? They have their
opportunity at last to return te
the doctrine of Jefferson, Jack
son, Benton and Tilden, and tic
achieve the old dominance which
the party enjoyed under such
leadership of honesty and cour.
age. Will they see and seize the
opportunity?
If the Democratic convention
shall fail to e and accept the
opportunity which such a Re-
publican program as we have in
Dictated will offer it will go into
history as a body remarkable
chiefly for its stupidity.

AFTER THE CUBANS.
An Investigation of the Fiiibustcrcrs on
Foot, but No Warrants Issncd as Yet.

New York. Jan. 3O-In accordance
with instructions from Washington,
United States District Attorney Mac
farlanc is engaged i'm investigating the
Inflated Hawkins expedition. The ar
rest of General Garcia, and perhaps
patriots now in this city for violation
of the neutrality laws, is the possible
outcome of this investigation.
The Cubans are badly frightened and
where yesterday there were dozens of
swarthy patriots chatterng Spanish
and declaring that the cause of Cuba
lbrc was bound to win DESPITE all dis
asters, today it is hard to find any one
who will admit knowing anything
about the Hawkins, or having had
anything to do with her.
District Attorney Macfarlane said
today that there had been no warrants
issued yet in this case, and that no
action would be taken until he had very
conclusive evidence.
1T is very hard to get the necessary
proof in matter like this of the Haw
kins," he said. 1--WE have got to prove
that there was u military expedition
fitted out In this country, and that 1T
was directed against Il friendly power.
1t is no violation of the laws of the
United States to fight against Spain in
Cuba. 1t is no violation Of the neutral
ity laws to ship arms from this country
to cuba. You may load vessel openly
with ammunition and HotchkiSs guns
and send her to Havana, and no one
can interfere with you. To hold these
people for an offense against our law
it is necessary to prove that they or
ganised or assisted in organizing
military expedition here against Il
friendly power. and that is rather diff
iicult to prove"
At United States Marshal McCarty's
Office it was denied that any commune
cation had been received either from
Washington or the local authorities
in relation to the Hawkins.
President Palma made his appear
ance at the Cuban headquarters at 9.15
O'Clock with young clerk and a small
boy. lie had few visitors. He was ex-
ceedingly cautious in his utterances to-
day, and he declared that the Hawkins
party was not u military expedition.
Anyhow, he said, the Cuban Junta had
nothing to do with sending it out. 1t
was General Garcias own private
no t,tN
