WONDERFUL SKY MAP.
Big Enough TO Cover Two Acres and
Exhibit Thirty Million stars. Plates
forlt Cos; Two Milton Dollars.


The great map of the sky upon
which astronomers have been working
for the past nine years is approaching
completion. II is an international af-
fair. for no one country could carry
through such a gigantic task
The heavens have been mapped out
in sections, a section being assigned to
each of the principal nbservatories in
the world. and each Of these eighteen
Observatories must furnish map of its
particular section in ] 800 parts TO do
this. 5000 photographs have been taken
at each observatory, making a grand
total of $1,000 phOtOgra phs. The Uni
ted States is not represented in the in
terratiunal congress for the construc-
zion of this map. Professor Pickering,
Of Harvard, wished to undertake a
share of The work. but il was finally
decided that the great amount Of time
required for the allotted section would
interier" with the general work of the
Cambridge obscrvaturics. The Yerkes
observatory was not, OF course, ready
at the time. and the Others did nos
care to lay out the money for the ucCes-
sa!y Instruments. The observatnries

THE FUSION IDEA.

The idea of fusion in Alabama be- tween republicans and populists is not approved by the republicans of the north. There is an outcry against it all along the lines.
 The Indianapolis Journal Rep) says:
 Twice the Alabama republicans have fused with the populists and the combi- nation has been beaten. Now that the
 thing is to be repeated most republicans
 hope that the combination will be de-
 feated third time"
 This comes from the home of MT. liar
 rison who Is an aspirant for the nomi-
 nation for president. Evidently he does
 not wish to be hampered with alliances
 which must throw him upon the defen-
 sve and necessitate a vast amount of
 explanation. FIx-President Harrison is
 a we'll balanced man and a sincere ad-
 vocate of the principles of his party.
 There is no insincerity, shufi1ing or dou-
 ble-dealing about him. He wants a clean
 fight on well-deflned issues and has no
 stomach for alliances based upon noth- ing but a distribution of the public plum der.
 We find also the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat another leading republican paper, saying
 "There is no law to prevent the Ala bama republicans from fusing with the populists if they are so minded; but they are surely aware of the fact that the gen. eral policy of the party Is against that sort of political amalgamation." | But we apprehend that the republican | leaders in Alabama will make another attempt to run a campaign without any principles. We sincerely trust that they | may do so. It will be a repetition of 1892, I when Alabama cast 126,95O votes for Gov ernor Jones in August and 13S, 13S for MT. Cleveland in November. Here was a | gain of 12,000 votes. Kolb, when he ran without combination, in 1892, received | 115522 votes, but when Weaver ran with l a combination he received only 85,1S1 votes. There were nearly 10000 republi- | cans who voted for Harrison electors and | who disregarded the combination with l Weaver.
 l It makes but little difference, however, | whether the populsts and republicans | combine or not Combination would be an acknowledgement of weakness and a | failure to combine would be ruin The l enemy are between the devil and deep | sea. Johnston will beat them out of | There is q ground swell for Johnston and thousands of those who followed
 Kolb in 1892 are coming to the democratic l camp under the enlightened policy of the
 executive committee and in confidence of 1 the safe and conservative policy of our | leader.

PARTY LAW
Adopted by the Executive Committee on
 Tuesday, January 2l.

l. Whereas, The democratic committee of the United States. in its call of the na- tional convention, adopted wise and conservative policy in inviting all con servative citizens, irrespective of past po- utical associations or differences, to join in sending delegations to the said con- vention; therefore, be it
 Resolved by the state democratic ex- ecutive committee of Alabama, That we hereby invite all conservative voters, 1r- respective of past political associations or differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure, economical and con- stitutional government, and who will SUD- port the nominees and principles of the democratic party, to join with us In send ing delegates to the approaching state convention, to be held at the state capi- tol in the city of Montgomery upon day to be fixed by this committee. The fore- going shall also apply to the conventions called to nominate county and beat can didates.
 same number of delegates in said conven- ton as it had in the last state conVen- tion.
 3. Each county executive committee shall decide for it's county whether the delegates to the state convention shall be selected by primary election, beat
 
 meetings
 4. No delegate to the congressional con- vention shall be elected at the same time that delegates are selected to the state convention.
 5. That the executive committee of each county shall have the right to deter mine whether to admit any but white voters to the primaries of their respec- tive counties
 Delegates to the congressional conven- ton shall be elected in such manner as the respective county executive commit tees shall determine, on Saturday, the 22d day of August, 1896, and the congress sional conventions of the several districts in the state shall be held on Tuesday, September 1, 1896, at such places as the respective congressional executive com mittees may determine.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The sooner adequate laws protect our treasury from such pestiferous cattle as the professional gold shippers, the better it will be.-Louisville CourierJourn Dem.
 The extremely conservative resolutions of Senator Sewell on the Venezuelan question have struck anything but sympathetic chord in public opinion.- Philadelphia Record, Ind.
 In repudiating an interview perpetrated by his own son, MT. Thomas, United States minister to Venezuela, has estab- lished a precedent which may prove high ly valuable some day to Benjamin Har- rison.-Kansas City Star.
 Newspapers outside of Ohio which as- sume to believe that Senator-elect Fora ker's eyes are fixed on the White House do that good republican an injustice. Foraker is for Mckinley, Ohio's only can didate, and he has said so dozens of times with great mphasis.-Cleveland Leader Rep.
 Mr. Balfour says that Britain would not fight for Venezuela under any cir cumstances, and would not take the coun- try as a gift. Nevertheless, we have req son to suspect that it wouldn't mind oc- cupying the country if it could do so by ''inching along" when nobody was look ing.-Springfield Union, Ind.
 Harrison has comparatively modest fortune. Reed is not man of wealth. Mckinley has recently passed through bankruptcy Allison depends on his sen- atorial salary to live on. Alger has quit investing in presidential chances When it comes to the delivery of southern dele gates at a national convention who so powerful as Morton?-Utica Observer.
 It is evident if our seacoast is to be even moderately defended that congress should make immediate appropriation of reasonable sums for guns and forts, and that the war department should be au- thorized to hasten the work in every way in its power. The money thus spent will be saved a thousand times in case any other power should be disposed to attack or even threaten us.-New York Herald, Ind.
 If New York has not learned lesson from the convention contests it is too thoroughly consumed in it's own conceit to be taught. Other eastern cities learned years ago that no truly national political party could consent to hold its national convention east of the Alleghany noun tains. New York alone clung to the be- lief that all there was to the American states worth either commercial or politi- cal consideration could be controlled by that city.-St. Louis Republic.
 Having found herself without friends among the great European powers, Eng land appears to be willing to buy few That, at all events, is what her assent to the despoiling of Siam by France sug- gests, and she is also graciously ready to settle with France their respective pos- sessions on the Niger. It is true in sac rificing Siam to France Great Britain also secures the assent of the latter to her own recent absorptions in that neigh borhood. The two have, in fact plum dered the region and divided it between them Friendship and trade thus go hand in hand among the European powers, and often succeed finely where the pos sessions of some weak and distant coun- try are the assets to be divided by the amicable bargain.-New York Sun.

A PATRIOTIC DECISION.

There will be no joint discussion be- tween democrats contesting for the dem oeratic nomination for governor this year. Captain Johnston has declined to hazard the success of the party in Au- gust by engaging in a joint discussion with Mr. Clarke. That he will for this patriotic act receive the commendation of all good, loyal, conservative democrats goes without the saying. Of course it will be dlsappoint ing to the Advertiser, which is doing its utmost to lay the ground work to Ken tuckyize" Alabama But this appears to be a year in which things are not go- ing exactly to suit that disturber of the peace of the democratic party.
 There could be no excuse offered for joint discussion between two democrats contesting in the party in Alabama for party nomination, and there is certainly no demand just now for such a discus sion save from the Advertiser and very few who, along with it, probably prefer to see the democratic colors go down in defeat rather than have a man whom that paper has so often boastingly an- nounced would never be governor of Ala bama bear them to victory next August
 The proposition that a. joint discussion would result in breaches within the party that could not possibly be healed in time for the general election cannot be gain said and no one will have or has yet had the hardihood to attempt to point out wherein any good to the party could come from joint discussion. In the in- terest of harmony and for the good of the democratic Dartv Cantain Johnston has declined the challenge, and the State Herald heartily congratulates the demo- cratic party in Alabama that this loyal member of the organization has seen proper to exercise the necessary moral courage to decline an invitation to join in a thing that could but have placed in jeopardy the success of the party tick ct in the coming August election.

WAS HE ASLEEP |?
Birmingham Boy Lying on Track Struck by
 Train and Killed.
sible 5O4.

While apparently asleep on the Louis vile and Nashville track near Siluria, thirty miles south of Birminghamy late Tuesday afternoon, John Haley of this city was struck by freight engine and instantly killed. .nt
 Haley was boy IA or 15 years ofiage. and for some time past has sold weiner- wurst in this city. His father was at one time a bartender here, but for the past few years has lived in the east. His mother died few months ago, and later his sister went to Montgomery.
 Haley left Birmingham Tuesday morn ing early on a freight train, but was put off near Helena. ,Siluria is only few miles below Helena and he had probably walked to that place.
 Engineer Cooper saw the boy lying on the track, but not in time to stop his train before running over him.
 The body was brought to the city yes terday and turned over to the Warner Smiley company. who prepared it for burial

together, In the hope of getting control of the offices by doing so, are more op- posed tu each other and hate each other great deal more than they hate the democrats. The national republicans so declared at nearly all their parish meet ings, and held the regulars up to the scorn of the world, while the leading populists at their late convention in Alexandria declared again and again that if they had to choose between demp- crats and republicans they would sup port the former because the democracy was white mans party and they had once belonged to it.
 "It would be remarkable thing if a fusion like this, if party without plat form or principles, could win; and it would be far from creditable to the voters of Louisiana if they declared, as every one must declare who supports this tick ct, that they care nothing for principle. But the composition of the ticket is as absurd as the platform. A sugar planter republican is, 1t is true, chosen to lead the ticket; but as is usually the case in a dicker of this kind, the very sugar re- publican is chosen whom the other plant CTS do not want and whom they have al ready rejected. It is scarcely to be eX- pected that they will grow very enthu- siastic over having sugar at the head of the ticket when it is such a slap in the face to themselves. As for Messrs Pugh and Booth, who have been put up for governor and hauled down so cavalerly, they can scarcely be expected to throw themselves ardently into the fray. It Is quite evident that Pharr is not acceptable to the rank and file of the populists, for the popuist convention would not have him, and the only way he could be got on the ticket was through the machinery of a committee.
 "The rest of the ticket was made up in the helter skelter manner that might have been expected. consisting of four populists and two national republicans, the regular republicans being altogether ignored
 "It is doubtful if any one of the three parties supposed to be in the combine Is satisfied with 1t. and to all of them it will be very ugly medicine. It is possi- ble that the ticket can be held together until election day. but this can be ac complished only by the combine aban doning all idea of carrying on a cam paign. If an attempt is ever made to have Pharr and Kleinpeter, or Kerno- chan and Pickett. or any two other can didates speak from the same platform it will spoil the political company, for what one of the candidates says is bound to be contradicted and denied by the oth- CT. If the fusionists make campaign it ought to be joint one among them selves. Kleinpeter can then reply to and dispute what Pharr says, and Kernochan can properly denounce the Ocala utter ances of Mcfarland"
