law abiding people to express Themselves forcibly against lynch law, but 1t Is equally as good for these same law-a.bld- Ing people to have a regard for the vic timS of the murderers who are constantly turned loose on an unprotected public by quirk quffbblel5 and unnecessary de- lays of the law. There is a const ani1y growing disposition to forget the mrr- dered person in the morbid sympathy for the murderer. This question of rs9paat for the law is a. two-sided one and there can be no doubt that the increase of lynch law is due very largely to tft fT1e- quency with which murdersrs escape jus tice through the indulgence of the courts to the ingenious obstacles to justice pre- sented by lawyers fer the defense.'
 The clever editor of the Sheffield Reap CT puts it this way: That new fanglad thing called a referendum we presume Is intended to apply perpetual motion to the ballot box"
 The serious editor Of the Anniston Hot Blast and the witty editor of the Eufaula Times pass the following compliments on the evident rsltufn of prosperity and the advance in Annlston real estate:
 Young man, if you want a home in An rdstOn, now is the time to purchase. The indications are that property will never bs so cheap again. Unless all signs fail, Bryan ard honest money VIII triumph at tine next election. Then the prices of property will rise. CT the price of money will decrease. as."-=Anniston Hot Blast
 'We hope the price of property ou Tenth street will go up, at least. We are willing to compromise on Tenth street We have some friends who put their feet into it--on Tenth street-several years ago. Let Tenth go up and the rest-well, let the rest go up too."
 
 The following from the Anniston Hot Blast is a point vel taken:
 The plea of Insanity is too oftsn in- terposed. Strange that we never know a man to be crazy till he has killed some body"

WHAT THEY SAY OF US.

MT. E.aW. Barrett takes charge Of The "State Herald" tomorrow 'Sunday1 It's subscribers over the State are to be con- graduated, as under his brainy pen 1t will be worth reading. "-Calhoun Demo crat.
 "We desire to congratulate MT. Bat rett on his first issue of the Birmingham m Age Herald. It is indeed a most credita- ble paper, and if the paper Is to be kept up to the standard of the first issue it will be a credit to Alabama journalism" ]" -Anniston Hot Blast.
 "The Birmingham State Herald made its first appearance yesterday under the editorial management of MT. E. W. Bar rett. It is needI.lgs to add that the issue was in every respect a creditable ore. = Augusta (Ga.) Herald.
 ~The first issue of The Birmingham Age-Herald is at hand and it is source of pleasure to note it's change of tone. The paper has ceased to be a calamity howler-no more mast and fig-leaf talk It says:
 "The mission of the Age-H Herald is to build up-never to pull down
 'The South has suffered lsss than any other section from the prolonged finan- cial depression and Birmingham and Alabama are again forging their way to the front with brighter prospects than ever, in spite of thE unfavorable con- ditions.

 "In news and general features, the pa- per is considerably improved, but it lacked vast deal of coming up to hts promise of Saturday that Alabama has never had printed within hisr borders a paper superior to the edition of The Age- Herald tomorrow" The old Age-Her- aid, the old State and the old State Her aid surpassed It frequently. to say noth- ing of other papers. There was no sort of comparison between it's issue and that of the Advertiser in news features, and especially Alabama news It will take a good deal of work and expenditure to make it the peer of the Advettiser as an Alabama newspaper.-Mon gomery Ad- VertiSer.

Campaigns of This Year.

This year there will be exciting cam paigns in Ohio. Iowa and Kentucky.
 Tn Ohio the legislature to be chosen this year will elect a senator for the frac- aion of Sherman's term yet to expire, and for the full term beginning in 1899.
 If the legislature is republican, Hanra, who now temporarily fills the place by, appointments, will be chosen for the re- mainder of this term, and for the full term beginning March 4, 1899. But if the democrats carry the legislature. John R. Mclean will be elected senator
 The Ohio campaign excftes great in- terest. The dsmocra Is may fail to cleo: a governor, but they have a fighting chance of carrying the legislature, and that will be glory enough
 In Iowa the democrats are split, and the populists are also in. the field. The stare is almost certain to go republican. the court of appeals but the campaign is of national interest because the gold democrats, led by Carlisle, Lindsay, Brackinridge Buckner and Watterson, have put up a candidate and are making an active canvass.
 Massachusetts this year will of course elect the republican state ticket, but it is uncertain how New York will go in the election of a court of appeals judge.
 Altogether the political sgtua ion pre- sents some interesting features.

forcing people to pay bounties for po- litical services rendered. U
 Had the wilson bill bezn allowed to stand until the regular session. it would have supplied the treasury with all the money that Is needed. and it required haste to save a pretext. and a falsehood to compel the work. MT. Reed" he continues. "to alarm the world bolted the doors of the popular branch and muzzlsd debate, when they were pried open by the constitution, for few min- utes twice wsek, as Turkish mosques are opened on Fridays for prayer"
 The senator .denopness the action "as shameless usurpation of power'' to provide funds to pay campaign debts and provide funds for future campaigns. That the entire plan was for the avowed purpose of providing bounties, and by refusing to tax the incomes of the great trusts-bandtts--l and protected and protected in the robbery of the peo- p1e" sms
 The Dingley bill, the senator says, is not meiastre for tariff reform, but to- tal fevolrilloh In the principles and pur- poses of <ariff taxa tlon It is bill to creat4 b9unFtes and compel consumers to pay for these bounties. A revoutiona ry enactment, open and avowed plunder of the consuming classes for the enriching of the manufacturer as favorpd cla.s Tn is oper akion it increases the burden of taxation and a: the same time money to pay taxes is kept out of circulation and is locked up in the treasury as is true of the $235,OOO,O 900 now lying imprisoned in the vaults 1
 ''T can sec nothing brs ruin of the peo- pia in this jul ggiery. of political hopes, in ended to coneummatez the power of wealth and privilege iu-the overthrow of the industrial classes who are consumers and thus made to increase the wealth of fIhe protective classes in sums that are al- most beyond computation, more than fif oy per cent of whom are farmers"
 He charges that1the bulls of Wall street made 3O.O00,OO0 on the rise in sugar, while the tax was under discussion, and that he charged in the serate that the aban- dorment of just tax was caused by the direct. irIfuence of the sugar trust. He pronopnees the DihgEey bill the highest and most unjust. tariff law ever enacted by congress. and it came upon ,he peo- pie at a. time when. of all others. in our history they are least able to bear it. That justice. equality. and fair dealings havc been secuted and abused and "al- most every pa. agrapn is an abuse of pow CT hhaIt is utterly violative of the spirit of the constitution"
 The letter is one of the ables: the sem stor has ever written, and cleverly proves the vicious assaults of the republican party upon the constitutional rights of the grea1 mass of the American people.

 To fight and conquer, where'er duty sent I raised my eyes, with trusting, earnest

 To meet those of my honored one-my And saw in his clear eyes with glad amaze, A light. that set my beating heart

? About High Buildings.

How much taller do the architects pro- pose to build the sky-scrapers in our big cities?
 There is limit on such folly, as fhe workers on the tower of Babel found to their cost, and the Gime s coming when disasters.
 They are not fire-proof and never will be. When fire starts in a street lined with these buildings it soon .rages be- yond cortroA, because the draught. is a powerful factor in it's favor.
 Even if .hey escape this danger, ft should be recollected that there never was time when there was more com plairt of poor material and bad work manship. These big buildings suffer from a tremendous strain. and if they are not properly constructed of sound ma. erial they are liable to come down any day with a crash. 'sn'V in' 7ff
 They are not built to stand for cen turies and sometime natural causes will make them collapse. Future genera tions will read with horror of the fall of twenty story buildings in New York and Chicago, causing great loss of life and property, ard the explanation will be made that the contractors used rotten iron and em- ployed incompetent workmen.
 In southern cities land is not valuable enough to force it's owners TO build to th9 skies. There is TO excuse for twen- ty story building anywhere in this re- zion. ard we hope never to see one.

JERSEYS TROOPS the BEST.
Tribute From President Mckinley and
the Grand Marshal, General

The Paterson "Press" says The splcn-
did showing made by New Jerseys
National Guard in New York on Tues
day has caused the utmost pride and
satisfaction throughout the State, and
will no doubt greatly tend to the adyan-
tage of our State militia. That body, it
is now more lhan ever recognized, Is not
a mere ploylhing or costly ornament, but
a strong arm Of defence and conseryator
Of the peace which is ready for business
at any time. Military critics agree that
no corps OF citizen soldiery that was in
line last Tuesday equaled New Jerseys
contingent in marching and other tech
nical points under inspection. The re-
mark was general that the New Jersey
troops bore themselves like "Iegulars. "
Governor Griggs has received many high
compliments for the New Jersey division,
which should be promptly passed along.

remarks very complimentary to our Gov
crnor's personal bearing as Commander

themselves with credit, preserving the
proper alignment and distances, and
saluing in creditable manner. Gov
ernor Griggs was guest at dinner in
New York last night given by General
Daniel Butterfleld In honor OF General
Horace Porter, aud sat by the side Of
General Dodge, who was the Grand Mar
shal of the procession. The General said

parade, aud in observing the Marshal's
directions as 10 keeping the massive and
C Compact formation required for 80 large
body of soldiers as he had to handle,
they were the only ones who obeyed those
orders strictly. II is clear that in this
exhibition, which WAS really one in the
presence of the entire nation, New Jerseys
National Guard acquitted itself in u way
that the people OF the State should be
proud of and should remember hereafter
to the advantage OF nll concerned.

HIS SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Some Reasons why Gunson Has Became
a Eamous ClothIer.

Some Reasons why Gunson Has Became
a Famous CIothier.
Trenton's famous clothier, Byron +.
Gunson, has many things with which to
credit the popularity Of his store. His
method of doing business, by which sat
isfacllon lie ensured or the money refund
ed, is probably the greatest promoter Of
popularity. He was the fret to do this
in Trenton. Another popularity maker
ia the fact that he deals in nothing but
clothing keeps an exclusively clothing
store, and has tue largest stock of any
store 10 the city. He has got everything,
it is his proud beast, that anybody else
has, and more, too. He invites the pub
lie to use his store as their bureau OF
information on clothing, and to people
who live out OF town he exteUds an invi-
taiion to make the store headquarters to
leave your bundles and packages there.
lie feels complimented, he says, rather
than troubled by it. He makes people
feel the truth of this, and this, OF course,
only adds to his popularity.
