Gov. Johnston rode in carriage with Gov. Oates through the parade to the capitol, where, in the presence of the leg islature, he was sworn in by Chief Jus tice Brickel and delivered his inaugural address. His address is most excellent state paper, showing that Alabama now has a plain, practical business man as its chief executive, one who is competent to meet and solve rightly the grave ques- tions confronting hm-questons that no ordinary man could overcome sue cessfully. He finds the state greatly in debt, but we will wager any amount to a ginger cake that when Joe Johnston turns over the office to his successor that the debt will be greatly reduced, If not entirely wiped out.-Mountain Eagle.

Between 5000 and 1000 people stood in
 the rain on Tuesday and witnessed the
 inauguration. People are deeply inter-
 ested when they will stand out in the
 rain and listen to speech. Gov. John-
 ston's candidacy was born in a storm.
 He made gallant fight for the honor
 in 1890, but failed. He entered the race
 and was defeated again in 1894, after one
 of the hottest contests that ever took
 place in Alabama. But in 1896 he swept everything before him and came off V1c- torious The stormy weather that pre-
 vailed at the time that he took the oath of office was only indicative of the trials that he had had to reach the office. And we believe that he is going to make good Governor. If he don't, then we are badly deceived.-Selma Times.
 We have confidence in the integrity, patriotism, statesmanship and wisdom of Governor Johnston to believe that ms administration will be crowned with success, We shall sustain the incom- ing executive most heartily and cheer fully In all measures that are in accord ance with what we may believe is just and right. We deem it the sacred duty of religious newspapers to stand by and uphold what is right, or to expose ana denounce what is wrong, whether in high official station or in the humber walks of life. When the cry comes up from the people, "Watchman, what Of the night?" as the sentinel upon the tower we should be ready to cry aloud and spare not. Our motto should be, "Iel the truth" "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may" Hence we shall strive to be faithful to our readers, true | to the trust reposed, giving out no un- certain sound. whether dealing with sac red or secular problems.-Alabama Bap- l fist

county, Pa. The mans name Is John
Hogan.
Fires in Bucks county for a time
were SO numerous that there was a
suspicion that insurance was behind
them all. Detectives finally got en-
Hogan's track. and a few days ago To-
Gated him at the farm Of John Hoas-
land. The detective hired with MIR.
Hoagland as a laborer. and soon be-
came very friendly with Hogan. They
were planning to steal some horses.
and while arranging the details Hogan
told him about burning the barns.
The detective. wishing to get him TO
Pennsylvania. proposed pleasure trip
to Philadelphia. Hogan readily agreed.
and this morning they came up on the
Reading road to New Hope. and Con-
stable Bennett, who had been previ-
ously notified. arrested them on "sus-
picion." Squire Eastburn gave them 4
hearing. and placed them under $500
bail each. Being unable to furnish the
amount they were taken to the county
Jail.
Hogan does not yet know that his
partner is n detective, but thinks they
are arrested on suspicion. The detec-
tive will occupy the same cell as Ho-
gan, and hopes to succeed in getting
further confessions from him. So far
he has confessed to burning the barns
of Edward Stack, John Poole and one
near Dry Lake, in Bucks county, and
the barn of Mr.. Titus, five miles east
of this city. Hogan worked at all these
places. and was dismissed. Each fi.e
happened after his discharge. The last
barn fired in Bucks county was that Of
Edward Janney, and the next day Ed
ward stack found a note In his feed
chest saying his barn would be next.

BULKELEY FOR M'KINLEY.
The Ex-Governor Says Reed Won't Have
COnnccticut's Votes.

Hartford, May 1O.-Ex- Governor NJ.
i. Bulkeley, who Is chairman of the
Connecticut delegation to the St Louis
Republican national convention, re-
turned today from a weeks trip to Ohio.
where he visited Major Mckinley and
Mark Hanna. The governor. in an in
terview today, came out flat-footed for
Mckinley and said that he has always
been for him. This Is Governor Bull
keley's first public announcement OF
that fact. He said that what he seen
since he left the state convinced him
that Mckinley would be nominated on
the first ballot, and that the Ohio man
Is all right on the money question.
The Connecticut delegation, he said,
stood six for Mckinley on the day 1t
was elected at New Haven, and he firm
ly believed would vote solidly for Nc
Kinley when the roll Of the states is
called at st. Louis. There was never
any truth in the statement that the
Connecticut delegation was Reed del
egation.
Governor Bulkeley denied the truth of
the rumor that he went to Ohio in the
interest of Senator Hawley or himself
for the vice presidency, and said that
there was not the slightest foundation
for the story. The question of the vice
presidency, he said. would be settled af-
ter McKinley's nomination.

KILLED A MOB'S LEADER.
A Negro Shoots Into Party That Broke
Into His House.

Into His House.
New Orleans. May l0.-William Be-
mott, at the head of party of white
regulators, endeavored to force his
way into the house of negro named
Leonard Code last night to whip him.
The party broke down the door and en-
tered the house, when Code opened fire
on them, killing their leader. Benoit.
The other men removed the body to
Benoit's fathers house and then scat
tered.
Code at once surrendered to the po-
lice, and as the regulators threatened
to lynch him was sent to the jail In
Lake Charles. Colcasieu parish. for
protection from the mob. The regula-
tors have been carrying things with u
high hand In Lafayette parish. and no
negroes were allowed to vote there dur
ing the state election last month. Code
had charge of a corn mill, and the COM
plant of Benoit was that Code ground
the corn Of negroes first and made a
white man wait.
