The Birmingham Herald charges Cleve- land up to $S6.00Q Alabama's part of the annual interest on the new bonds. All right. Now give him credit for about $2,0 900 a year saving to Alabama on the Wilson tariOrbill. The Times is will ing to have the case called before any jury-Eufaula Times.
 Grant that the people are saved a large sum by the operation of the Wilson tariff does that fact justify the imposition of a new burden to take the place of one that has been removed? It is the duty of a government to diminish direct and in direct taxes as much as possible, and when it has reduced or removed a burden it Is not on that account Justified in add ing a new burden.

A LIMeSI ONE INDEPENDENTS VI EW.

John B. Mcclellan, Esq, of Limestone county was in the city yesterday on his return from Montgomery, where he has been to attend his brother, Judge Me- Clellan, of the supreme court, who has been quite i'll.
 Speaking of the political status in Limestone, MT. Mcclellan says he has been an independent democrat for fifteen years, and believes the majority of the citizens of his county are coming around to his way of thinking and acting. He doesn't think that in the general shake up either the democrats, republicans or populists have. any decided advantage at present one over the other. The con- test, he says, is going to be interesting 1t matters not as to candidates. But he believes the voice of the people above any party will carry the day in Limestone.

The Progress places at it's masthead today the name of Capt. Joseph F. John ston for governor. He is too well known as a sterling democrat citizen and ex- soldier to need comment. He will be nominated by the democratic state con- vention and elected by an overwhelm- ing democratic majority.-Wilcox Prog reSS.

The free silver democrats scored a great victory at the Fourth Indiana Con- gressional district convention at North Vernon in the election of Joel Matlocls to state committeeman. The free silver men over the state secured seven men out of the thirteen, which will no doubt elect a free silver state chairman. They will make an effort to have the state conven- tion before the national convention. It is now plainly evident that the Indanap- oils News was wrong somewhere in it's continual obituaries of the free silver element in Indiana. Everything points to the likelihood of getting in free sill yer governor next fall, as the sentiment is rapidly growing.

Delagoa bay to which British and Ger man warships are being dispatched, is owned by Portugal, is pronounced the finest harbor in South Africa. and the European powers which have interests in Africa have long kept jealous watch of each others movements in relation to it.

WHAT MANAGER FARNHAM SAYS.
No Coaching Parade Possible at the
Time of the New England Fair.

Now Will Portland People Please Suggest
to tho Management the Parades De-
sired and Likely to Secure Public CO.
oper alton?
Manager H. f. Farnham, said yester
day that the New England Fair manage
ment would like suggestions regarding
the best parades to be made, special feat
ures of the big fair next August.
Mr.. Farnham is anxious to have SOM 9
special features Of the sort, and to make
sure that they will be OF nature to call
out Of town people to Portland, and also
such as to ensure the cordial cooperation
of the people of Portland.
1--WE want to make this request for sug-
gestiops at this time" said Mr.. Farm
ham, "because last year people said we
did not give the public a chance to CO.
operate with us, that there was no time
given for the careful and proper con-
sideration of the NATTER
Mr.. Farnham believes that it would be
possible to have series of parades during
the fair Of a nature to call many people
to Portland. The parades would start
from Portland, and end at the Rigby.
"One Thing is certain,'' said Mr.. Farm
ham. sit will not be possible to have a
coaching parade during the fair, because
we cannot bring the coaches from the
mountains at that time of the year.
Something else must be thought of.
What Mr.. Farnham wants is odd and
out OF the way suggestions regarding
special parade features. He would be glad
to receive such suggestions from any one,
or to have those,who are interested in
the proposed parades write to the local
papers giving their ideas.
There is no doubt that there will be an
interesting and unique series of parades
at that time, but the management would
very much like to cooperate with the
public in carrying out the ideas of others,
rather than to be forced to arrange a for
NAL programme, and then to ask the
public to cooperate.
81 am satisfied that it will be good
season at Rigby," said MI. Farnham
Every letter receive, and have re-
oeived many letters within the last few
