RESOURCES OF ALABAMA.


Governor Johnston.
Governor Joseph F. Johnston was in
augurated governor of Alabama Dec. l..
Before taking the oath of Office he de-
livered long address, sounding the
keynote of his administration, which
is to promote the development OF Ala
bama's resources and improve the con-
dition of her people. Speaking of the
resources Of the state he said:
With an area Of but little more than
fifty thousand square miles, there is no
territory of like size in the known
world so prolific in the variety of its
resources; were a wall erected around
our state, cutting off all access, we
could produce within our borders
everything necessary for the comfort
or convenience Of man. Great veins
Of iron ore and seams of coal put at
our command almost boundless re.
sources in fuel, iron. and steel. Splen
did forests of yellow pine here stand
ready to build homes for millions OF
people. Building stone and marble,

ash and other hard woods await tn
hand of man for manufacture or til
adornment of our homes. In the pro
Guction of pig iron we take rank a.
the fourth state in the union; in iror
ore, third; in coal we stand fifth; II
the production OF cotton, fourth, and
in it's manufacture. fourth. In lumber
we are near the head OF the list. IL
would be unjust should I fail to in
clude in our minerals copper, lead
graphite, mari and gold: indeed, the
only mineral that we seem to be with
out and to want most is silver. Leay

fields we find that they produce gen
erously cotton, corn, wheat, rye, oats

to convert our raw products into arti
cles Of merchandise. Over 5000 mile
of railroads traverse our state from

THE MESSAGE.

President Cleveland congratulated
congress on Monday on the patriotic
disposition of the people to abide
peacefully the result of a heated pres
idential contest i'm which one PARTY
concluded by seeking to monopolizes
the public flag as political emblem.
He denounces the Turkish outrages,
robberies, butcherles and murders in
Armenia, but declares that none Of
our citizens, in Turkey, have thus far
been killed or wounded, but several
naval vessels are stationed in the
Mediterranean. He does not believe
the present sombre prospect in
Turkey will long be permitted to Of
fend the sight of Christendom.
He declares the Cuban insurrection
has gained in numbers, character and
resources, and the spectacle of the
utter ruin of an adjoining country he
thinks should engage attention.
The president thinks to accord bel
ligerent rights to the insurgents
would be perllous and injurious TO our
interests. Right and not might
should rule in this contest. He thinks
if Spain would offer Cuba genuine
autonomy-self government peace
could be secured.
Ee states that our government Of
fered on behalf of Cuba to guarantee
the acceptance and execution of any
satisfactory measure of home rule
that Spain might grant but has re-
ceived no reply from Spain. He
intimates to congress that they may
be called upon to act in the premises.
The president has shown true great
ness and ability in handling this
Cuban question. He has not offended
good taste nor propriety. He has
been extremely solicitous to show
good will toward Spain. But his con-
clusions are clearly drawn and the
work of naval preparations and coast
goes bravely on.
In revenues the president shows a
deficit for last year, of $25, ,2O3, 900, ex-
penditures reduced for the year sby
81, ,016,OOO Exports increased over
last year ny $4,000, 900. An average
duty of 40 per cent has been collected.
The value of the Wilson-Gorham
bill as revenue producer is said to
be such that it will overcome all def
ciencies this year. He deals with
finance in a manner consistent with
former utterances.

An Insane Woman.

About 8 o'clock this morning a
female patient, who had escaped from
the asylum, entered the grocery estab-
lishment of II. M. Branson & Co.
The unfortunate woman began to
enumerate her troubles to the clerks.
She claimed to be native of Ireland,
and the peculiar accent to her voice
verified the statement. She alleged
that all her money had been stolen
from her, and she wished to return to
the old country, and to take the morn
ing boat. From the woman's conver-
sation, it was plain to be seen that her
mind was deranged. She was invited
into the store on the pretext of await
ing the arrival of the boat. In the
meantime, the asylum authorities
were notified, and the woman was re-
turned, Offering but little resistance.
