 Does our contemporary now know or did 1t ever hear of a thriving. progress sive city that.was not. in debt? That it is in debt is an evidence that it is not hanging it's harp on the willow awaiting for an Aladin to appear with his GenA and do it's work by magic, but the people are exerting their own brawn and mind to accomplish something in life.
 If the people desire that the capitol remain at Montgomery, why all we'll and good Birmingham. will raise no fuss about it, nor will she charge that because forsooth our neighbor is building new in- dustries it is chargeable to the fact that some shrewd Yankee has inveigled them into buying worthless machinery at a reduced price and has made them think they have secured 8 bargain. Birmlng- ham wants no bargain. She wants sim ply honest treatment and honest prices and is willing to risk the judgment of her skilled business men and mechanics as to any imposition that may be at tempted to be practiced by any shrewd artist, be he a Yankee or anybody else.

CONSERVATIVE FORGE.

Merehantss compose the conservative force in a community. The commercial nationsis peaceful nation. Holland is one of the most peaceful nations of the world and the sails of its commerce whften every sea. The Dutch are brave people, and it is no lack of courage that causesSthem to lead peaceful lives. But they have become broadened by commer- cial intercourse with the world. and with breadth of thought comes the cosmopoli- tan spirit. Let Spain study the example of Holland. If Spain had been more like Holland she would be more prosperous, and. her page, in history would not be stained with bloody cruelties. When Se- nor CanovaS exclaimed: Spain is not a ration of merchants" he intended 1t as a boast, but it is discredftable rather than creditable that such is tha case. Next to the-ssBible, commerce is the most civil- izing agent of the world. Merchants are the friends of justice and liberty. Mer- chants conduct business on business prin- ciplss, and foster the virtues of thrift, industry and liberality.

It is easy for a woman to keep herself well and strong in a womanly way if she will only take the proper care of herself and use the right remedy for her peculiar troubles.

STAND BY THE ADMINISTRATION.

There are many papers in Alabama that are pleased with him, which, If the race is made quietly. will give hlm their lHrestra.ned support-that is, if no fir e silver OF gold standard issue is thrus't into the campa ign-for reelection. While, on the other hand, if the silver or gold issue is sprung those papers would nec- eSsarily have to wi hhold their aid from him and give 1t to the candida1e who is of .thelr way of believing.

All that is asked at the hands of the Union Springs Herald and other papers and voters of its way of thinking is to pledge themselves to support the action of the democratic primaries or not take part in the contest. This we are sat isfled the Herald will do, and the use of it's nanr= in this connection means only to apply TO papers and voters who will not agree to abide the action of said primaries unless their views on rhe finan- cial question are sustained. This class are not democrats and should not be al- lowed to participate in the democratic primaries.

THROW ON THE LIGHT.

F,x-Goy. Jones will have to have him. self yaccinated or the Advertiser will catch another interview. The follow ing from the Montgomery Journal calls more light, and let there be light. It seems that Col. H. c. Tompkins is at torney for MT. c. G. Abercrombie, one of the sureties on the Randolph bond, ard claims his client knew nothing of the default of $6, ,50O noted by the ex-gov- ernor.
 Mr. Aberorombie was one of the "bucks" and not ''chief' in the tribe, and it was doubtless thought unneces- sary to inform those of no official rank of the condition of affairs. The Journal says:
 The Journal learns that Col. H. Clay Tompkins, representing MT. c. c. Aber- crombie, one of the .bondsmen, stated to the board that his client did not know of the default, and Col Tompkins would rot state that which he knew to be un- true. He may have been mistaken and been mislead on this point. but if so. he msead the board unintentionally and the board should not be denounced for accepting the statement of gertleman of the high character of Col. Tompkins.
 Again, may not ex-Gov. Jones' mem- ory be at fault as to 'the chief bonds man and his son" calling on him, and begging for stay of proceedings against Randolph? AS the Montgomery morn ing paper is engaged in an unholy war for more light, and let thera be light It adopts all sorts of veEomous and un- scrupulous methods to bring 1t into dis repute. the Journal feels warranted, now that the agitation has begun, to go to the bottom of it.
 It asks for more light on the sub ject. ""If "the chief bondsman and his son.. called upon ex-Gov Jones and got him to stay the strong arm of that law that could have hee n held out to save tho other bondsmen. this would put. quite a different phase on the action of the board of compromise in so far as 1t effected "the chief bondsmaff and his som
 As this is "the main point of the gov ernor's exposure" the public has a right to know all the facts connected there with.
 Jt is but simple justice to the board of compromise to ex-Gsv. Jones who made the charge, andsto the bondsmer to know if the memory of the ex governor is per fec,lva ciAa: and distinct on tsis serie us charge.

MARION.
Judson Thronged With Visitors to Wit ness the Annual Art Exposition-Ex-
 ercises Marion Military Institute.

Marion. May 31-(Special Correspond cnce.) .)-The beautiful and spacious art rooms of the Judson were thronged with visitors today from g to 12 a. m, the an- nual art exhibition being the attraction. Upon the walls were tastefully and ar tstically arranged oil, water color and pastel paintings, portraits in crayon and pastel, and drawings in crayon and char coal; while in cabinet were specimens of china painting. There were six grad uates in the school of art, viz; Misses Hattie Eubank, Hattie Johnson, Mar garet Martin, Hattie s. Mathews, Carrie Melton and Fannie Worsham. Mrs Julia Lovelace is the presiding genius of the department, and to her intelligent and experienced labor is due the credit for todays beautiful display.
 This afternoon at 5:30 o'clock a large crowd gathered on the campus of the Marion Military Institute to witness the battalion drill and dress parade. The tall and handsome cadets had been ad- mifably trained and the movements were made with more precision and prompt ness and order than we remembered ever to have witnessed before on a similar occasion. Maj. Gilkerson is the faith fuland efficient commander of the corps.
