WHICH IS WHICH?

It seems that the gold and silver fac tinue the fight for the next four years. Both wings of the party claim the honor of being the party, but the silver faction holds the reigns at the present. In our own state the legislature met and the democrats went into caucus to elect a United States senator all that did not support the nominees of the democratic party in the recent election were not ad- mitted.
 The same state of affairs will occur in the coming session of congress. The sil- yer democrats will not permit the gold faction seats to their caucus. Senator Morgan, when asked if the gold demo- crats would be admitted to the demo- cratic caucus, replied Mot at all. Not at least without repentance, and neither of them have shown evidence of that. These gentlemen will not wish to asso- ciate with men whom they have denounc- ed as anarchists, traitors and dishor st people. It would be expecting too much of them to suppose they would do any thing of the kind" The question here arises will the gold democrats act with the republicans? They would be released from all obligations to act with the dem ocrats, but would be practically invited to act in opposition to them, and this would necessarily mean to act with the republicans. Would they, after acting with a party that is ruinous to the demo- cratic party and it's principles, claim to be democrats? We think not.-Tuscum- bia Dispatch.

Col. B. H. Franklin About to Start One ts# z in Florida.
 Selma Times.-.
 Col. B. H. Franklin, the genial shoe drummer of Nashville, was a visitor to Selma, yesterday. He hardly ever comes to town that he does not have some big scheme on foot, and the one that he has thissti tinne is as novel as it is thought to be profitable, He took the Times man aside and told him the following details of his plans and if it pans out as he says it will there is millions in it. Said he:
 "1 have a bran new idea. 1 am get ting weary of travelling on the road and l am thinking of settling down to enjoy life.
 "As the population of this country in- creases meat becomes scarcer and dearer, and I have decided to start a monkey farm in the everglades of Florida and propose to get immensely rich selling monkey steak.
 Billy Millspaugh, of the Hotel Albert, has promised me to boycott the Selma market and will feed his guests on mon- key steak alone. Phil keipp says he will handle it in his restaurant and 1 am sat- isfed that I will become immensely wealthy raising monkey steak for the tashionable hotels and leading restau- rants of the country.
 G. L.. Sehon, my partner, is now in FenSacola and will charter big Nor wegian sailing vessel and will make a trip to Central America and bring back 10000 young monkeys. They can be bought down there at three for a quarter, and in a few months can sell each mon key for $2.5o, thus making a clear profit or over S2 after paying transporta ton and fattenng charges.
 We expect to put cn a line of steamers to South and Central America as soon as the public get taste of monkey steak. The first year we will clear S200,000, and in five years time I expect to be clearing $l,0o0,000 on monkey steak.
 The markets of the monkey growing country south of us have been bought up from the different governments and it will be impossible for us to have compe- tition. l will be president, Sehon will be general manager and we expect to build us residence each on the shores of the gulf near our monkey farm that will lay Vanderbilt's North Carolina Bilt- more place in the shade.
 .. When we get fixed I want you to come down and write advertisements of our monkey steak for northern papers. We will give you S10,000 per year and allow you to fish nine-tenths of your time I have not the time to spare to go into de- tails of my monkey farm at present, but will do SO on my return from Pine Apple. where I go this afternoon to sell bis; line of shoes Good bye. Be good to yourself" and with that the only and original Col Franklin was gone like a flash.

VENEZUELAN AGREEMENT.
Arbitrators to Be Appointed by United States Supreme Court and the Brit
 ish High Court of Justice.

What is conceded to be, in essential particulars, a copy of the preliminary agreement entered into some weeks ago between Secretary Olney and Sir Julien Paunceforte on the Venezuelan boundary dispute, was printed by the New York Journal as fellows:
 TEXT OF THE AGREEMENT.
 1. An arbitral tribunal shall be imme-s diately appointed to determine the boundary line between the colony of British Guina and the republic of Vene- zuela.
 9 The tribunal shall consist of two members nominated by the judges of the supreme court of the United States and two members ncminated by the British high court of justice-and fifth select ed by the four persons so nominated, or in event of their failure to agree within three months from the time of their nom ination, selected by the king of Sweden. The person so selected shall be the presi- dent of the tribunal. The persons norni- mated by the judges of the supreme court of the United States and the British high court of justice, respectively, may be judges of either of said courts.
 3. The tribunal shall investigate and ascertain the e.sserea of the territories be- longing to. or th1I might be lawfully claimed by the United Netherlands or by the kingdom of Spain respectively, at the time of the acquisition by Great Brit ain of the colony of British Guiana, and shall determine the boundary line be- tween British Guina and the republic of Venezuela.
 4. Tn deciding the matter submitted the arbitrators shall ascertain all facts which they shall deem necessary to decision of the controversy, and shall be governed by the following rules which are agreed upon by the high contracting parties as rules to be taken as applicable to the case, and by such principles of interna- tional law not inconsistent herewith as the arbtrators shall determine to be applicable to the case.
 The rules are as follows
 | Adverse holding or prescription dur ing a period of fifty years shall make good title. The arbitration may deem exclusive political control of district as we'll as actual settlement thereof suf- ficient to constitute adverse holding or to make title prescription.
 2 The arbitrators may recognize and give effect to rights and claims resting upon any other ground whatever, valid according to existing international law and on any principle of international law which the arbitrators may deem to be applicable to the case and are not in con- travention to the foregoing rules.
 3. In determining the boundary line, if the territory of one party be found by the tribunal to have been in the occupa- tion of the subjects or citizens of the other party such effect shall be given to such occupation as reason, justice, the principles of international law and the equities of the case shall, in the opinion of the tribunal, require.

EXIT ". c. OATES.

After thirty years of deep solcitude and tireless energy in public service, all the while watching rivals and opponents as well as performing the duties encum- bent upon him. William Calvin Oates has been forced to retire to the shades of pri- vate life, with probably legs comfort and satisfaction in his old age to gratify and satisfy the yearnings of his heart or the fancieS of his imagination, than the citizen who has led blameess r life and is unknown beyond the boun- Idaries of his own county. Aspirations liftiest goal has not been reached. Am bition's fondest yearnings are unsatisfied. The earnest hope, the fond anticipation, the craving, consuming desire to be United States senator has been the bea- con light that has led him through sleepless nights of toll and years of labor to fade from view just as 1t was regarded as within reach and certain of acquisi- ton. Disappointment profound and dreadful, chagrin, deep and awful, urge their depressing influences to emphasize the failure that has been scored. At one fell swoop he falls from exalted position to nothingness-a back number-a states man out of job. No pen can describe the agonies of an aspiring heart nor limner paint the chagrin of an ambitious soul cast down under such weight of woe, breeding over the might have been," as recollection recalls the long, weary years spent in shaping every agency WlLnln feacn ana directing every energy possible that the hearts yearn- ing might be statistical Such Is the fate of the public man whose idol is exalted station, whose god is ambition! Fate may lavish her smiles plenteously for a while; success may parade her bland ishments for brief period; and the heart may revel in the joy of seeming gratifica- ton for a short span; but disappointment must eventually come; failure will cer- tainly be marked by the whirligig of time.
 Why should man so fondly cherish the alluring bauble, ambition? Its blandish- ments are illusive, it's promises deceptive, it's successes, responsibilities and cares, and it's failures crushing and overwheln- ing chagrin and despair. The modicum of its joys are many times offset by the cost in toll, anxiety and vexation; and all its hopes close in a grasp for the unreal which, like dead sea fruit, turn to ashes at the touch. There is no comfort, except in hope; there is no joy except in faith; there is nothing true bat heaven.-Ala- barna Monitor.

 It is runored that the steel mill at this place will be put in operation again shortly. This mill, as we understand it, is the only steel mill in the entire south where open hearth basic steel can be, or rather has been, made successfully, and it is a matter of general regret that the panicky times have kept it, as well as hundreds of other successful indus tries, idle. It is claimed. by competent judges that the steel turned out by this mill excelled in quality that of the fa- nous mills of Pennsylvania, and should and would after it's introduction into the markets of the country, command a better price than the products of the aforesaid Pennsylvania mills.
