million, hence the seeming magnitude
Of the amount Well, we changed
hands al that time, and behold tie
result. Instead Of sixty millions. it
cost eight times sixty millions, or, in
other words, it cost at that time about
two dollars per capita Of the popula
ton, and now about eight dollars per
capita.
We may learn from this that those
who are most ready to censure others
for extravaganza, are not always eco
nomical when they get their own

The New York SIN quotes from
Mckinley's record as follows:
The reason of McKinleys silence
is not far to seek. He dare not face
the following facts
First-McKinley voted to suspend
the rules and pass a free silver bill
in 1877.
Second-ln 1873 he voted for the
Bland Silver Dollar bill and supported
it, and did much to accomplish its
passage against the veto of President
Hayes.
Third-In 1883, when Chairman
Of the Platform Committee Of the Re
publican National Convention, he re
ported resolutions denouncing " tht
policy of the Democratic Administra
tion in its efforts to demonetiz,
silver"
| Fourth-In 1890, when leader 0
the House, he advocated the passagl
Of the Sherman Silver purchase Law

RAILWAY FOLKS AND FACTS.
Weighing the Mails ProgreSsng-ExcurSion
FIoridaward Via the Louisville and
Nashville.

Everything is quiet in railroad circles,
there being nothing of particular interest
at present to chronicle All the roads en-
tering this city are getting fair share
of the business and no complaint is COM
ing on that score.
The Louisville and Nashville will run a
special this afternoon as the second sec
ton of No. 3. The special is known as
a Gates excursion and is being run from
Toledo, O., to Jacksonville and other
Florida points. These excursions are run
annually and the excursionists comprise
mainly wealthy citizens of Toledo. To-
days special will consist of a baggage,
dining and three sleeping cars.
A small freight wreck on the Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham road,
just beyond the Alabama line, late night
before last caused the incoming morning
passenger train to be laid out four hours.
No injuries are reported from the wreck.
The work of weighing the mails on the
several roads entering here is being con-
tinued and the special force is being put
through severe course.
G.. f. Aglers, general agent of the I'm
ion Pacific, with headquarters in St.

CLARKE'S OLD HOME COUNTY
Marengo Not Unlikely to Go for Johnsto
Perry Certain and Shelby Is
Willing.

A prominent citizen of Perry county
was visitor to Birmingham yesterday
He says that Perry is as certain to go
for Johnston as the 18th of April rolls
around and by such a majority as will
astonish the natives.
II have been in Shelby recently" said
the visitor, land IL Johnston will visit
that county and make speech it is all
that is needed. In other words, ne can
get the county for the asking. There are
a few, and very few, who still think
the Advertiser holds lien on their votes,
but this number is growing smaller every
day.
by the way, I was in Marengo the
other day, and contrary to my expecta-
tons and to the reports sent out, john
ston Is going to carry that county by q
good majority. My information is
straight, and from as ardent a supporter
as Mr.. Clarke has in that county.
DO you know 1 am beginning to be-
lieve that If the republican influence
was taken from Mr.. Clarke he would quit
the race right now. The edict has been
sent out from national headquarters that
they make this fight on Johnston, and
some office-seeking and office-holding adj
ministration democrats are hiding be-
hind Growers coat tail knitting the peo-
pies, choice while the republicans blaze
the way, knowing full well he is the only
man that can lead the democracy to VIC
tory next August"

Hon. NJ A. Porter, Candidate for the
Democratic Nomination for State SEN
ator-
Dear Sir: In your card published in
this evenings News, addressed to the
democratic voters of Jefferson county,
you define explicitly your views on the
financial question as follows: AN ear
nest opponent of the free coinage of sill
Yer at Is to l and a devoted admirer of
Grover Cleveland's administration" and
further on: "Dr. Cunningham, in his an
nouncement card, says that he is in favor
of the free coinage of silver by this gov
eminent alone at the ratio of 16 to 1. To
this l am unalterably opposed"
Now, az believe that the free coinage
Of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1
Is the money of the democratic party and
of the people" and as I am not an "ad-
mlfer of Mr.. Cleyeland's administration,
so far as his financial policy is concerned,
and knowing that the election of a sena-
tor from this county is in part, and in
my humble judgment very largely so,
national issue, because he has a vote in
the election of United States senator to
succeed Senator Pugh, and believing that
the issue should be suuarely made and
met honestly and manfully by the single
gold standard and the free coinage DEM
ocrats, without equivocat ton or straddle,
l respectfully invite you to join me in an
honorable discussion before the people of
JEFFERSON county at such times and places
as may be agreed upon by ourselves or
friends.
You say that the tissue has been reck-
iessly and wantonly forced and it should
De openly and manfully faced. This L
propose to do So do l. Therefore L
respectfully invite you to- Joint dis
cussion of this and such state and local
matters as may be of interest to voters.
am, with great respect, very truly
yours, r. M. CUNNINGHAM

Housekeepers Want the Best Food.
What Scientists say:
Prof. Arnold of the University of
New York: 81 consider that each and
every ingredient of oleomargarine but
ter or butterine is perfectly pure and
wholesome, that the oleomargarine
butter differs in no essential manner
from the butter made from cream. 1t
is great discovery, blessing for the
poor, in every way a perfectly pure,
wholesome and palatable article.
Silver Churn Butterine is prepared
especially for fine table use. Every de-
tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re-
cent chemical experiments show that
in nutritive and digestive properties
Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to
the best creamery butter; while in
keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine
is much superior.
