He Is Giving Wicked Jacksonville a shalE
ing Up.

ing Up
The Rev. A. M. Macdonald, of Jack
sonville, Fla, will equal DIR. ParkhurSlIlt
he sticks to his present line of policy.
In his sermon, last Sunday, the doctor
discussed s'The Sensual Life of Jackson
ville." According to his statements, the
people of that city spend 100000 year
for liquor. The saloons are in league
with hundreds of dissolute women who
parade the streets openly and mail in
vitations to the young mea of the city to
attend their dances. The Sabbath is DIS
regarded, and the saloons openly ply
their trade on that day. Broken families
and ruined homes are numerous, and the
city is largely given over to sensual pleas
ures.
DIR, Macdonald was not personal in his
structures, but bis general indictment
against Jacksonville was so severe that
his sermon is the talk of the town. ia
few earnest and fearless citizens back him
ii is probable that moral crusade will
be started which will repeat en- smaller
scale the experiment Of DR.. ParkhUrst in
New York.

Money Can't DO 1t.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
A letter from Birmingham to the
Chronicle says: SIN the recent contest

tions centering in the Birmingham dis
trict and an unlimited supply of money
failed to carry this (Jefferson) county

The New York Financial Chronicle
said some months ago that Wall street
could not vote in the south, referring to
the election of United States senators,
but the bankers, corporations and CAPT
talists of Wall street can and should con-
tribute literally to the election of gold
men from the south to the senate. Ala
bama cannot be bought with money, nor
can Georgia.

Sound Money Candidates Making Promises
to Vote for Silver.
One by one the southern goldbugs are
falling into line, realizing that the peo-
pie mean business and that they are 60
ing to have representatives who will vote
their will. Governor Oates, of Ala
bama, is the latest. He has given out
the statement that if the free coinage
wing of the democratic party should be
IN control of the Alabama Legislature he
would, if elected to the United States
senate and being SO instructed, cast his
vote and use his influence in that body
for the passage of free coinage bill.
This statement means that Governor
Oates is candidate for the senate, and
that he is practically free coinage can
