Pope Leo's Reading.

The pope's favorite poets are Virgil
and Dante. He knows great part Of
both by heart and takes pleasure in quot
ing them. When Father Michael, the
apostolic project to Erithrea. was taking
his leave with the other Franciscans
who accompanied him 10 Africa, his
holiness recited TO them with great
spirit Dante's canto upon It. Francis.
The pope reads the newspapers, pas
sages of interest being marked for him
by readers in order TO save him time.
He frequently writes letters to the bish-
ops and encyclicals in polished and
Cicerouian style of Latin. The encycli-
calls are printed at the private press Of
the Vatican, an institution founded by
him and furnished with all modern i'm
provements. They are first published in
The Osservatore Romano. the official
daily paper of the Vatican, and then
finally translated into Italian and other
languages and sent out to the bishops
abroad. Leo XIII writes excellent
verses, both in Latin and Italian, and
likes to see and talk with men Of letters
as well as to read their works. Two
years ago he requested Professor Brunelli
Of Perugia to buy for him the poetical
wo~'ls of the Able Zanella. The request
is characteristic, for his holiness insisted
upon paying for the book like any oae
else. -.Marion Crawford in Century

ARE THEY EYER
The Huntsville Prisoners?-Peculia Ac- tions of Numerous Strangers
 in Town.

The peculiar actions of numerous strangers in the city the past fzw days has caused consid rable comment among people who know the character and spirit of the Decatur mob which was af- ter the gro fiends at Huntsville, and if an attempt is made on the Birming 1am jail, where the prisoners are confined, there would be many to blame th- author ities for want of precaution in failing to have he military in charge.
 A reporter, sent out to investigate the rumofs, reports an unusually large num- Der of strangers on the streets, n Is- or them carrying suspicious looking pack ages, and amongst whom more 1T less suppressed excitement prevails But while the jail and court house seems to receive a share of the attention Of the strangers the main center of attraction was found to be the great department stores on second avenue. Here the sIfan- gers co-mingle with the crowds of home folks. and it is believed their mission is oneiof fhusiness instead of a lynchirg ex- pedifi0n.

MUST BE NO WATERING.

The Journal repeats, the Anriston Hot Blast simply spoke for itself in its sug- gestion that the democratic party in this state ignore national issues in the next state campaign. As is well known, the party in this state is an integral part of the whole. and weakened in Alaba ma, , the democracy would be weakened throughout the country. The party in this state must stand or fall by tue Chi cage platform. That platform $ either right or wrong. If it is wrong the party must go down. If il is right the party must triumph. There can be ro mlddle ground The Chicago platfol nj is the supreme law of the parry It cannot and will net be iguored To ignore i. Ns to disorga piae. and disrupt the party. It is true that there is no direct connection between the election rext var aud the national election to follow two years la ter, but the party must be held in line for .raf supreme effort It must pre- serve it's organization, and to preserve its niean'za ;ion it must have discipline, and discipline can only be maintained by srrict adherence to the rules and reguls ticns to the policies ard prnci- ples--of the party There is but one hon. crable, course for the party in this state to pursue next year and that is to stand by the Chicago platform, bravely, cour- ageously. age resSively.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill 3 bottle orcommon glass with urine and let 1t stand twenty-four hours: sed- iment. or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the Kidneys. When urine stains linen it Is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequeht desire to urinate or pain in the back is also con- vincing proof that the kidneys and blad- der are out of order
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects following the use of liquor wine or beer, and overeomes that unpleasant necessity of being com pelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists; price, fifty cents and one dollar. You may have sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
 Please mention the Daily State Herald and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of this offer

KEEP IF IN STATE POLITICS.

1'here-is no man in Alabama who is mere sincere in the belief that the best interests of this country would be sub served by the government reop= ming its hints ta the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and TO man who is a more earn est sdvocate of this policy, nor one who is more bitterly opposed to a sacrifice of prrJlrae on this issue than is the writer, and the proposition submitted by us a few days since that the state campaign in Alabama next year be conducted on state issues we consider no sacrifice of rc-iYciple on our part as an advocate of the doctrines promulgated in the Chicago platform. Hot Blast.
 As recently stated by the State H5ra the principal issue now permeating the eptire civilized world involves the very serious question whether the country is to have the free coinage of both gold and silver or the gold standard. This issue had it's origin in state politics and was finally iucorpora ted in the platform of the two great political parties To now take it out of state politics would ba like cutting the tap root of a fiourishing tree ard equally as effectual in producing it's death.
 If a man believes in a certain religious creed, 1t never, injures his church to stand by it's tenets on any ard every oc- casion. nor to protect and defend any other honest principle he may advocate. If free coinage is good for the, nation 1t can but have palatable flavor just to sprinkle iia with any ether state issue s that may arise-an argum mt, SD to speak. to show purity of thought and purpose S wh.n national questions are taken up. Like good coffee it goes well three times a day every day in the year and blends with any kind Of meal.

FREE TRADE AND PEACE.

The grandest achievement of the Victo- rian era surpassing in importance the pe rfecticn of steam, which has made the whole world a neighborhood and the At lantic ocean a ferry, and grarder in it's results than the harnessing of the light ming. which as girdled the earth with a belt of flame, has been the adoption of free trade as a governmental policy. It required years for England to reach the point where it boldly threw down the barriers against importations and bid the whole world enter its markets on equal terms. Frea trade brought England in commercial contest with all nations, and established feeling of fellowship. Free trade is promotive of peace, protec- ten provocative of war.

We note that some ignoramns writer charging that the administration is re- sponsihle for the law taxing mortgag s. While it would be a credit 10 the admin istration if this were so, we must inform our learned friend that mortgages were taxabi- as solvent credits for many years but that the legislature of '94 made spe- cial provision for such taxation by re- quiring probate judges (See. 2S, R. w. Act '93) to keep a. separate record Of all mortgages recorded in his office. and to file such record on the first day of each October with .he tax assessor so tha | same might be taxed We have printed ofban before that the tax commission law makes no new subject of taxa ion, but to cha rge mortgage taxation to he tax com mission law is just like saying that the back tax law is part of the tax commis- sion law. Both mortgage and back taXes were provided for years bzfore the tax commission law came into existence.
