COAL OIL INSPECTORS

When oil consumers are inclined to criticise the law allowing tho appoint ment of oil inspectors, let them remember how the oil trust after suppressing com peution have held the people at their mercy and put upon the market an in- felior oil that proved to be little less shan robbing to sell at any price. Where is there a citizen in all Alabama who sells OR uses coal oil who will not bear out the statement that nearly half of the oil sold in the state during the past several years has been of such poor quality as to be almost unfit for use. Who would object to paying half cent per gallon addi- tional for oil the year round in order to stimulate competition and force trusts that would control the market to sell only oil of high test or legitimate proof? Peo- pie in cities who use gas and electric lights know but little of the imposition suffered by the people in the towns and villages and even in the rural districts iron, this unjust oil swindle. While it is true that the inspector must be paid for his services, who envies him his wages when the people as whole have been saved ten or a hundred times his salary by obtaining the class of goods they buy ana dre puOleCteu lrum tHe SWlnuIerS WHO will ship in one proof today and another tomorrow, according to what the people will bear up under. Tn the opinion of the State Herald the oil inspection law is a good one and will save thousands of dol lars every month to the citizens of Ala bama indirectly that they can never ex- pect to obtain directly until laws are enacted foreven smashing trusts and combines that scheme to undermine an unsuspecting public.

ALL HONOR TO WASHINGTON.

The London Times does not think it wise for Englishmen to honor the memory of Washington. He may have been first in the hearts of his countrymen," says the Thunderer, but certainly he was rot in ours. If the separation between the English-speaking peoples which he forced by the sword had come peacefully it would not have left behind those bitter memories which even now can be stirred to retard the cementing of peace. - Washington Sun.
 If knuckling is not disgusting to the English people, Grover Cleveland has done enough during the last four years to atone for all that Washington accom- plished towards ruffling the feeling of our dear friends across the creek.
 Yes, eff separation" should have come peacefully many things might have been different, but people at that time arbi- trated with the sword and despite bitter memories" if allowed to do so Americans can manage their own affairs and the cementing of peace to the suppression of robbery will follow as a natural con- sequence. It is not well for men or coun- tries to become too intimate, and upon a whole these bitter memories" will no doubt cause not only England but other European powers to think twice before attempting to force America to do that which she is not disposed to do. We are still for George Washington and will back up his history and defend his mem ory against any modern Englishman who would molest his bones or despoil his fame.

INcT,E SAM HAS ACTED.

Sometimes the United States takes a hand in European matters, but it has never gone beyond a. certain point When Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian revolu- tionist, sought refuge in Turkey, his ex- tradition was demanded by Austria and Russia. Several of the powers, notably Great Britain and France, resisted the demands of Austria and Russia. A dead lock ensued and war was imminent, but the United States stepped in, requested the release of Kossuth, and sent war ship to bring him to this country He met with a grand ovation in the United States but when he asked the aid of the United States in the liberation of Hun gary he received no encouragement at all. Not even the senate would pass such a. resolution. So it seems that Uncle Sam will intervene in foreign af- fairs to prevent war but will not take part in foreign wars.

Anniston Hot Blast.
 Time was, and not very long ago. when the able and efficient junior editor of the Constitution, of Atlanta Ga., U. S. A. dotted much upon ballot reform. He gathered about him a covey of political nondescripts from the four corners of the republic and was on the eve of viewing with alarm the crooked bosses and their wicked manipulations of the ballot, when the whole show was side-tracked by the advent of Bryanism. Of course, the public will understand that the duties of grand sachem of the Bryan literary bureau were too Onerous in the late cam paign for any time to be devoted to puri- flying the ballot. Furthermore, 1t would be calculated to produce a choking sen- sation in the throat of the average ed- itor to talk about purity of elections, and advocate the theories of Debs, Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman in the same year. But this Is an off year. and we trust that the national committeeman from Georgia will have the word saunt' to our own Manning and the genial Reuben and the balance of the political roustabouts who compose the National Ballot Reform league for an early meeting of that so- ciety. It is hoped that he will be able to spare enough time from lurid denun- citations of Cleveland and bellicose dec- larations against the naughty Spaniard to issue the call. Montgomery Adver- tiser.
 When Clark Howell sends out his in- vitations to the meeting suggested above he should not only invite Debs, Manning and Kolb, but by all means should invite the Montgomery Advertiser and Thomas Hanna Clark, for they have recently been out Heroding Herod in denouncing frauds in elections and demanding bal lot reform. These new allies of Manning and Bob Moseley have all the zeal which characterzes the new convert and will be wilkng to go much further in securing a fair hallot and an honest c0IInt as louG as the party machinery is in the hands of the men who remained true to the organ ization of the democratic party in the last national election than will any others who will be at the meeting.

NEW INSTANCE LAW.

The local agent Of large eastern in- surance company has received a letter from the president of the company in which he says:
 ''We, of course, with all others, regret that the efforts made to defeat the "anti- tariff biTl" failed, for there has been good work done by yourself and asso- ciates, and no state should ever have en- acted such law as this appears to be- The state of Alabama proposes to say to an insura nee company that if they be- long to a tariff association. for instance in Canada, and continue to do business in Alabama, they shall not only pay the as- sured his loss, but 25 per cent. in addition.
 There are grave questions to be con- sidered in connection with this matter, legal questions that must be carefully looked into by competent attorneys be- fore company can safely take action. We shall go right on doing business as usual until our agents are advised to the contrary. I understand that there is to be conference within a few days among the companies regarding the situation, and probably some definite plan will be arrived at"

MKINLEY AND cuBA.

The Washington Times-Star says the
 announcement is made that MT. MeKin-
 ley has settled upon a policy with regard
 to Cuba from which he does not intend to depart. He win not grant the insur-
 gents the rights of belligerents he will
 not recognize the Cuban republic; and
 he will under no circumstances interfere
 in the struggle now in progress on the
 island. Spain and the Cubans must fight their quarrel to finish; but in the fight
 ing neither side must lay hands on an
 American citizen, or fail to show due and
 proper respect to the American flag. The important part of this proclamation is the last clause of it; for 1t actually in- cludes all that goes before. In the pres ent temper of the Spanish government there is not a doubt that the Ruiz and Sanguilly incidents will have frequent repetition, and the first attempt of the Mckinley administration to hold Weyler to account will bring on a crisis which can only end in American occupation of Havana and a temporary protectorate over the entire island.
 Spain does not love the Cubans. but 1t loves America and Americans much less, and it is morally certain that the Queen Regent would far sooner acNnowl- cage CuDen Ffndepeflusnce than tolerate the least interference by the Washington government in the conduct of the war Weylers right to treat American pris-
 oners as suspects according to his notion of the rules of war is something which he will not forego, and the next Scovel or Sanguilly who falls into his hands will precipitate the issue. The first American
 man-of-war to drop anchor before Mauro Castle will be the forerunner of the fleet which will take Havana and end for all time the Spanish rule. President McKin-
 ley will then have to choose between a
 Cuban republic and a new colony of the United States.

 Georgia and Tennessee Joins Hands in a
 Wedding of Two Society Leaders.
 Chattanooga, Tenn, March 2.-Miss Maud Hill, of this city, and Col. J. H. Es- till, editor and owner of the Savannah News, were quietly welded this morning at the St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. Pettis officiating. All though strikingly ceremony and void of pretention as befitted the sober lentern season it was a notable social event. Not withstanding that the nuptials were un- heralded and no cards issued, many friends of the contracting parties were present.
 After the ceremony, the bridal couple were driven to the home of the brides father, whose guest the colonel has been for few days. The couple entered the church unattended, the bride leaning on the arm of the groom and to the tune of the wedding march, proceeded down the center aisle within the chancel rail Mrs Estill was becomingly attired in lav- ender silk gown with vio1ets. Col Estill is known to every wielder of pen in the south and has played a strong hand in Georgia politics as we'll as journalism. He is the vice-president of the Southern Associated Press with which he has been identified since the organization. He represented his state in the democratic national committee for several years.
 Mrs. Estill is the second daughter of George P. Hill, chief of the transporta ton department in the general offices of the Southern Express company. The family formerly resided in Augusta, Ga, and have always lived on terms of the closest intimacy with the Estills The bridal party will start tomorrow at noon for Savannah and Mrs Estill will be at once installed as mistress of elegant Estill hall after the usual bridal trip.

pensive law. It will not entail one dol- lar extra expense on the State, as the commissioners get for their services only so much commission as their collection of escaped taxes entitle them; on the other hand it will be the means of placing in the state treasury thousands of dollars which have heretofore escaped, not only this, it will be instrumental in reducing. the taxes on the poor people who have heretofore paid largely above their pro- ta of the states expenses.
 In cur mind this is one of the very best laws ever placed on Alabamas statute books, and that when practical test of its workings and benefit are known the people will all rise up, especially the poor people, and call Joe Johnston and the legisla ture which enacted 1t blessed.

THE TIMES AND ADVERTISER.

"The legislature has adjourned. What has it done? It has increased offices, net now filled by a vote or the people, but by appointment of the governor This is reform with a vengeance especially when it passed an inqusitorial tax law to provide compensation for those off, cia,s.
 The faithful of the democratic party must be quartered on the people. The tax payers have no rights which democ- racy is bound to respect. One good thing, this legislature and Johnston's business administration lis the last straw which breeks the camels back. " Democracy in Alabama is sure of defeat in the next state election"
 While it is true that the above reads very much like an editorial paragraph from the Montgomery Advertiser fighting the new tax commission bill. it is not from the Advertiser, but from the Bir- mingham Times, Bob Moseley's paper
 Every year Bob Moseley declares that the demcc1tic party in Ala bama is dead and that 1t is sure of defeat in the next state election, so there is nothing new in the above assertion and predic- tion as to the death and defeat of the democratic party.-Anniston Hot Blast.

GOOD ADVICE.

Washington Hesing, the talented postmaster of Chicago, of the immigrants who came to Alabama and cleared thirty thousand dollars in five years on blackberries, show the pos abilities offered by this section to intelli- gent and industrious immigrants. The advice given by MT. Eesing to "Go south, young man, and grow up with the coun- try" Is the best which can be given to the people of the northwest who are looking out for locations; and there is no better place in the south for them than in Alabama.--Alabana Enquirer

 The farmer always pays his taxes be- cause he has nothing which he could hide if he would, while the money holder and the security holder has had a loop hole through which he could escape. This in great measure has been the cause of, the states deficiency of funds to meet it's obligations.
