TRYING TO MISLEAD.

The Chicago platform is being slapped in the face on all sides by its recent sup porterS. One of it's strongest blanks was a declaration against the right of private contract and this the Georgia and Alabama legislatures with large free silver majoritles have repudia ted by dis tinctly setting down on propositions to prevent the making of gold contracts.
 The above from the Advertiser is char acteristic of that paper. It is needless for the State Herald or any other dem- ocratic paper in Alabama to deny the statement made by the Advertiser on the theory that some one in Alabama might actually be msled by it. The people of Alabama are entirely too we'll posted for that. Everybody in this state who reads newspapers knows full well that the Alabama legislature has not in any wise slapped the Chicago platform in the face" The Chicago platform de- clared as follows, "We favor such legis- latfon as will prevent the characterization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract" The Alabama legis- lature and the Georgia legislature, both of which are largely democratic. declined to pass bills prohibiting the making of gold contracts. Not however because the democrats comprising those two legls- Iatlve bodies are not in full sympathy

 There will be an entertainment for the benefit of the public library at the high school building on Wednesday evening, December 16, given by the third class" The manner of giving these entertain- ments has, been. changed a little this year, inasmlfch as each class will give one during the term instead or having the entire school participate each time. This seems to be the better plan, as it engenders @ pleasant rivalry, and cre- ates more enthusiasm The public library owes its existence to Dr. Phillips and the school, and surely the citizens of. Birmingham appreciate his efforts in this direction sufficiently to lend their aid to further the good work. Dr. Phillips and his most efficient corps of teachers have done everything possi- ble to enlarge the library and enlist the sympathy and cooperation of the people of Birmingham, and while many have shown their appreciation, there are still great many who do not stop long enough to realize what great benefit this library is to our oity.. This entertainment given by the third class will be a pleasant way to spend a few diu1es WedneSday evening. and while it will cost each individual only a very small sum, the aggregate will amount to a good deal and will add to the treasury. -,sA Go yourself and persuade some good friends to go with yop, Each person should feel special pleasure in helping to build up our city and in no way can this be done to better advantage than in adding ta our pubic nprary' The Cadmean Circle was sdelightfully entertained Friday afternoon by Mrs.

with the declaration of the Chicago plat form on that particular question, but be- cause such a law in only few states would not result in putting stop to the gold contracting practice. Besides they know that such a law would be in con- flict with the federal statutes as they now stand and would avail nothing. The Advertiser and it's republican and bolting allies are entirely welcome to all the com fort they can extract from the actions of the democrats who compose the Ala bama and Georgia legislatures. The Ad- vertlser is also welcome to all the com fort it can get out of it's efforts to mis- lead. The democrats will take care not to ask it how they must act in order not to appear out of line with their party nlatfnrm.

 Three hundred and elghty-one business failures for the week, an increase as compared with the average in recent weeks. Sixty-eight more failures "than in the like week one year ago.

 If we desired to keep up the silver agi- ation we might close this article by say ing that the indications are that things are going on down to the gold basis. That prices will continue to fall and gross earnings gradually grew less and failures constantly increase until 277,00O instead of as now TIT, 900 skilled werkmen are out of employment in the city of New York, and until only just enough men re- main in business to do the business that a laboring populat ton, out of employment and mere existing agricultural popula- tion can afford to support, but we do not want 10 continue to agitate. We intend only to note events as they transpire, and comment on facts as they exist, and await the coming of-prosperity from the top. That being the proposition now on trial before the country.

The Chicago platform will fall to pieces by reason-ef it's actual rottenness and lack of common sense.
 Some people in Alabama, the State Herald along with them, have taken the position that there are~no reasonable grounds upon which to base the hope that the sbofters and the democrats of the state will ever get together again. Ninety-five per cent. of-the voters in this state who make up the. democratic party heartily indorse the Chicago platform There are 6,000 and a few hundred bolt CTS. The Advertiser evidently repre- sents the sentiments of that 5000 voters The clipping at the head of this article is taken from the editorial columns of the issue of that paper published yester- day. About what time do you suppose the overwhelming majority of the voters of this state will consent to have the 5000 ''exldemocratic captains, celonels and generals" write a platform for them-that ,coterie of wise gentlemen who denounce the democratic platform as an instrument ..that, will fall to pieces by reason of its actual rotten ness and hack of common senseT

The military boys are casting about for the successor of Gen. Clark as colonel of the Second regiment The public mind naturally turns to Maj. Higdon, who is not only popular with his own regiment, but with the military throughout the state.
 There is not better qualified officer in the state for the position of colonel than Maj. Higdon, nor one who takes more interest in military. He is thor oughly acquainted with each and every detail and appreciates the duties of a soldier The Second regiment could not make wiser selection than by pushing the claims of Maj.

JOHN MARTIN EARLE-DEAD.

Kneeling beside a new made mound
 Of dear dead friend of ours,
 Where grief and love had scattered round
 A wreath of loveliest flowers.
 With these in token fashion wrought,
 I strive to utter best
 Of him the burden of my. thought
 And my memories sad but blest.
 When one whose heart was full as ours
 Of feelings true to him,
 Interpreted my speech in flowers,
 And lip and voice abrim
 With tender grief made utterance brief. As true grief only can, q never knew my whole life through sweeter gentleman. Words lacking it was this in flowers I was trying then to say About this loved lost friend of ours, Who there so lonely lay Dark sleeping in the cold. cold ground,
 o %aye see% sn Within whose affiuent sap A deadly canker made haunt And wrought that plants mishap.
 So green. 50 rich. today,
 Tomorrow smitten sorely down And dropping to decay. This brings the thought of him. He grew In splendor, vigorous, fair Ana neaV Il around nm DlcSSlnS lnfeW And gifts both rich and rare. Yet near the smile there lurked the while The shadow of the frown, For fever dire with blighting fire Attacked and smote him down. Alasi and can we soon forget Of death, this loveliest victim yet. Oft day in sunny peace declines, Though clouds bedimmed its noon, And Hesperus OCT Its pillow shines And a calm unclouded moon. So after sad and trustful years, As if soft voice spoke, And said. "Be still,'' his gloomy fears, His clouds of darkness broke. And lovelier far than evening star. Or nights unclouded moon, And softer too than kiss of dew Upon the rose of June.
 A halcyon bird from OCT the seas, By loving Father sent. That slumber brought, that bess'd peace, For His beloved meant. And where the thorn crown bruised his head Left glory's shining in it's stead: Il. E. N.

We are not very much surprised that men who could be deceived into actually believing that prosperity was going to follow in the wake of democratic defeat can be in- duced to believe that the fact that democratic newspapers decline to an- hounce the return of prosperity, when in reality prosperity has not returned, is responsible for the continuation of un- satisfactory business conditions. sS
