Birmingham state herald., 1897-01-08

The Atlanta Journal has the following to say relative to the increased demand for southern iron:
 One of the many signs of the business revival is the increasing demand for southern iron. A few years ago when it was announced that shipment of south ern iron had been made to the north the fact created much surprise. In 1895 the Tennessee Coal and Iron company sold iron in more than thirty states and in four or five foreign countries. One iron company near Birmingham has an order for 10000 tons of iron for Liverpool, and another has on hand (yet to be filled) or ders for 37,400 tons for export. The first shipments to Europe were made in 1895, but little over year ago, some 400 tons being sent by way of experiment. Since July probably 100, 900 tons of Alabama iron have been shipped to Europe, and the demand for it abroad is now greater than ever.
 The fact that pig iron can be made in Alabama cheaper than anywhere else in the world is beginning to tell.
 There is certain tc be a steady increase in the sales of southern pig iron to the north and to foreign countries.
 The New Orleans Times-Democrat makes an important point when it says:
 'The south, however, will never be sat isfled with simply supplying the north ern and European rolling mills and foun- dries with the pig iron used by them in their manufactures any more than it will be content with supplying the New England mills with cotton It has still another step to make in it's iron indus try, which is to convert the iron into the many manufactures made from it; but this will come soon. If it is the section where iron can be obtained cheapest, 1t is naturally the best location for every kind of manufactured iron, and 1t is now demonstrating in most practical and em- phatic manner, by it's exports to Europe its superiority in the manufacture of pig iron.'
 The aim of the south should be to move forward in the finer lines of manufac- lures both in iron and cotton.

SMILING AT GRIEF.

The Selma Telegram advises it's peo- pie to stand steady in the hour of finan- cial distress. "The business men of Sell ma," says the Telegram, "can gird up their loins, look the cold facts in the face and, standing steady. even though struck by tidal wave of financial diversity breast the receding waters and yet re- coup the losses Sustained. ."-Montgomery Journal.
 The Telegram suggests very striking subject for a drama. Just imagine the editor of the Telegram posing steadily on the stage, his loins we'll girded, staring over the head of an incomplete audience at the manager and ticket seller, Hooking cold facts in the face" And then stand ing perfectly steady under such environ ments, his expression indicating that the house was filled to it's capacity and he had turned away with the simple wave of the hand the loss sustained by the meagre attendance of previous appear ance; and his breast bulging out, indi- eating that the waters which struck it had receded. The State Herald sees al- ready a remarkable success of such a play, and asks of the Telegram the honor of naming it. Let's call it Patience On a Monument Smiling at Grief"

DO NOT HINDER THEM.

If the republicans can give us better and easier times, says the Rome (Ga) Tribune, we are in favor of extending to them every possible encouragement on that line It does not make so much difference whence comes the improve ment or through what agency, just so it comes We are willing to accept pros- perity let it come from whatsoever source it may. We await it's coming with happy anticipations, for we know what 1t means for our section
 We do not join in the illiberal sentiment of those partisans who would be glad to see the republicans fail in their ef-. forts to restore prosperity. simply be- cause they are opposed to them poiti- cally. That amounts to demagoguery, and we have no patience with dema- gogues They have given the country too much trouble already. If the repub- Hcans behave themselves decent1y to- ward us and inaugurate more prosperous times, we are content.
 It is all nonsense to keep up bitter and vindictive warfare of prejudice, spite and recrimination after a party has been defeated. If there is any good in the republican party and any wisdom in its methods let them develop We are In favor of anything that looks to the good of the common country at large, regard less of all partisan prejudice or political acrimony.
 The country is in the midst of great crisis, the greatest, in many respects, in it's history. It is the duty of all good citizens to lay aside all differences of opinion and to go to work for the com mon good. It will require the united efforts of the whole people to right the old ship of state and to steer her into safe harbor. There Is no time for sec tionalism or partisan nonsense.
 Weightier matters command our atten- tion than the mere wrangling and jower- ing over political platforms and parti- san creeds. The future welfare of our country demands our earnest attention and our most zealous efforts. We can not afford to waste our time trying to figure up what might have been. What is and what is to be are the questions that most concern us at the opening of a new year in the history of our govern ment. a.
 The republicans will enter into power after March 4. We trust that they will be able to steer clear of the breakers and that the statesmen who will be in charge of public affairs at Washington may see their way clear to general inn provement in the condition of business. We hope that no alindrance will be pIac- ed in their way. If there is any good in the party let it come out and we will accept any prosperity that they may bring us. .%as. .@1

AFTER THE TRUST.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-The hearing of argu- ments in the case of the people against the American Tobacco company was be- gun this morning before Judge Gibbons. This case is probably the greatest and most far-reaching of the suits begun by Attorney General Moloney against al- legged trusts. Hon. Charles H. Aldrich of New York, counsel for the American Tobacco company, opened the case. His argument was in support of demurrer to the bill filed by MT. Moloney. MT. Aldrich read cepiously from his brief. This brief first sets out at length the allegations made in the peoples bill, which declares the Tobacco company is a trust. The firms composing the al- legged trust and the stock they owned were: Allen & Ginter, 30 per cent; Duke Sons & Co.,, 30 per cent; Kinney Tobacco company, 20 per cent: William s. Kimball & Co.,, 10 per cent; Goodwin & Co.,, 10 per cent.
 The capital stock was $25, ,000000

snNAnR INnAIA

Senator John J. Ingalls, said some three years ago that the publication of Ameri- can politics was an irrideseent dream. In his coming lecture in this city he will have an opportunity to say whether or not he has changed his opinion If he does not touch upon this point he will have something to say equally as inter- esting. MT. Ingalls, is one of the most picturesque figures in the public eye. While senator he amused the country with his caustic cynicisms. A touch of the cynic is apt to mark the mental workings of a man of Ingalls, calibre. When the populists overthrow the re- publicans in Kansas, MT. Ingalls, was left at home and Peffer took his place. MT. Ingalls, has since been "a statesman without a job.'' When he lost his seat in the senate he lost the best job he ever had, and this is no insinua- tion that he was guilty of jobbery. What a contrast between Ingalls, and Pefferl It is the difference between brains and hair

FIRE AT FLORENCE.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan.- "A special to the Advertiser from Florence, Ala, says:
 The wagon factory at East Florence was burned today. The first known of the fire was muffied sound as of an ex- plosion coming from under the main stock building. A moment after the en- tire building was mass of flames. The men in the building hardly had time to escape. The fire companies responded and in two hours had the fire under con- trol. The stock building and contents. about 700 wagons, was destroyed. as were three empty cars on the side track. From the cars the fire extended to the lumber yard and small warehouse in which was stored a large stock of wheels. The lat ter was destroyed, together with 12000 feet of lumber. The loss is about $27 ,000, with $5,500 insurance. None of the build ings containing machinery were burned and the factory will not have to suspend operations.

Under the Ban For Breaking Up a Swell
 Clubman's Dinner Party.

Under the Ban For Breaking Up Swell
 Clubman's Dinner Party.
 New York, Jan. 7.-Polce Captain Chapman, of the Tenderloin precinct, was formally placed on trial today be- fore the police commissioners on the charge of unjustifiably interrupting the dinner given at Sherry's Fifth avenue establishment by Herbert B. Seeley, the well known club man.
 The captain Is charged with breaking into and raiding without warrant a quiet little dinner at a reputable hotel. He defended his action by declaring that the vaudeville part of the dinner was of a character which could not be permitted in his precinct. In order to determine whether the captain was right or wrong Chief of Police Conlin preferred the charged against Chapman.
 The performers in the vaudeville and about thirty we'll known club men who were guests at the dinner have been summoned as witnesses and the trial will last some days.
 The testimony today was unimportant.

WAS IT sELF-DEFENsE?

Charleston, S. C., Jan. 1.-The story of the fatal shooting at Otranto, fifteen miles from here, yesterday, does not greatly lessen it's horrors. The inquest. begun, today, showed that L. F. Brown and Stephen Mazyick were shot in an open boat by John Poppenheim. The two men killed had been on Poppenheim's 8 land against his orders. Some words were passed and two colored witnesses said that as Brown fell into the river Mazyick moved as if to get up and reached his gun, and received the contents of Pop penheim's second barrel in his forehead. The inquest was adjourned in order to secure more witnesses. Poppenheim is in jail, and has secured counsel. Browns gun was taken from the water this aft ernoon. It was loaded, and both ham . mers were at the safety notch.
