NO CHANGE OF FRONT.

The effort of the mugWump press and it's followers to side track the money question as an issue in the elections in 1898 and 1900 is amusingly puerile. Under the prstense of exceeding ardor for dem- ocratic success in those years they are anxiously asking: What shall the dem- ocratic party do to be saved?" The sin cerity of their anxiety, the genuineness of their interest may be fairly questioned when 1t is remembered that most of them were in open rebellion against the party, it's platform and candidates, in 1896, and did their crazy best to encompass their defeat.
 These same recalcitrants, now so con- sumed with zeal for democratic triumph, have never shown the slightest symptom of repentance, have professed no con- version of faith, still contend they were right and permit no occasion to pass without assaiing the last declaration of party creed and party law, promulgated by the supreme authority of the party, worthy their support or respect. They still adhere to and defend the heresies promulgated by their convention at In- dianapolis as the true faith and ancient QlClll OL dCli4OSi aSyt WliiSii intAA't their cause, a beggarly minority of le. than enc per cent. of the total vote ca last November and at the same sne de- rounce the platform that Commanded the enthusiastic support of 6,5900o0 loyal democrats.
 Voluntarily deserting the party, and treacherously turning their guns upon it on the field of battle, they now make demonstration of party loyalty by de- mandirg that the party abandon its prin- ciples.
 The question naturally arises: Why should this be done? Has anything transpired since the last presidential election, or is anything likely to occur be- fore the federal elections in 1898 that would justify the party in repudiating it's platform and reversing the position taken last year?
 Has the continuance of the gold stand ard brought the much promised pros- perity to the people? Has the assur- ance of a high protective tariff, which ex-democrats helped to guarantee, in- duced the business repose and confidence that was vouchsafed by the republicans

ton winds up with the following ac-= knowledgement which throws his case outl of court:
 Tt is easy after the event to state what should have been done. The de- faulting judge paid up his shortage at the time promised Gov Oates. It turned out that he did so by absorbing other revenues for that purpose. Had he been. impeached against the wishes Of his bondsmen, on Nov. 6, when his shortage was officially reported, the loss would probably have been about as much as actually occurred. Much of the increased shortage was due to defaults which had happened before, but had not been dis covered in November, 1894. The exten- sion of time did not materially increase the real deficit as finally ascertained.
 Then why did you not say at the be- ginning, governor, that you had done your duty you would have had Randolph arrested as soon as notified of his default and held until his books could have b.en examined and impea chment instituted? If the extension of time did not increase the deficit, where did the money coms from That Randolph drew out of the bank just before leaving? Where are those English bank drafts Gov. Johnston has been trying to head off tffs payment of?
 It may be "only anignoramus' governor "who contends that the impeachment provided by the revenue law makes it mandatory to impeach whenever an offi- cer is reported for not paying over all money with which he is chargeable," but few wise governors would sit in their easy chair and let the probate judge Of the capital cour y default for S23,OOO right under his nose after u ing informed that his accounts were crooked to the amount of $6,500. We are no lawyer, but will wager that Gov. Johnston will know the reason why if a defau2ser's name appears on the auditors books during his admin istraton, and he will n-Ver be allowed from ore to six mon hs to get to Central America either,

The latest from the Birmingham post mastership is that Senator Pettus has announced his opposition to the confirm alton of Dr. Hughes. It is a, rare thing the wishes of a senator is not respected in confirming an appointment in his own state and if such opposition really exists there is no chance for the confirmation of Dr. Hughes. It has been known for some time that strong effort was being made through petitions from both dem ocrats and republicans to defeat the con- firma tion, but what the purport of these petitions are have never been given to the public.

senators have been speculating in sugar stocks so as to have the inquiry made by a standing committee ather than by a special committee, as provided in the res- olution. Objection is made on the part of some of the republican senators to have ;he chairmanship of the committee go to democrat, as 1t would be if the author of the resolution were given this post. While this is parliamentary prac- tice, it is not always followed in the senate. The resolution under which the inquiry of 1894 was conducted was intro- duced by Senator Lodge, though the orig inal resolution leading up to the invesi l.

There is no other valor in the world that even stands comparison with that displayed by the woman called upon to protect her children from violence. There is no weapon that a woman will not wield and no danger that she will not dare. It is before and after their birth that too many women fail to protect their children from the greatest of all dangers, the most blighting of all inner itances-feeble and sckly bodies

The Montgomery Advertiser in it's en- deavor to vindicate its editor-in-chief for holding on to the Montgomery post office like grim death to a consumptive gives notice that there are several in the state still retaining their offices Such is true, but who of this number but the editor-in- chief of the Advertiser has giv- en public expression to the fact that it was disreputable to hold office under a republican administration? If the Ad- vertiser represents that old line democ- racy it has always represented, why does not it's past position as to holding office under republicans apply as we'll now as ten or fifteen years ago? Just wait time of patience and the public will see that instead of being removed it will be many months after the expiration of the terms of office Of thepos tmasters at Mont gum,r ry and Mobile these editor-in- chiefs will be cooking their feet up on the post office desk swearing they are democrats and wlnkiEg an off eye at McKinley's ad- minlstration

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

 R IThe bladder was created for one pnr- ppse, namely, receptacle for the urine. and as such it is not liable to any form Of cisease except by one of two ways. The First way is from imperfect action Of the kidneys. The second way is from care less local treatment of other diseases.
 CHIEF CAUSE.
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder. was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weak ness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any painsz disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage Is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the ex- traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder reme- dy is soon realized. If you need medi- cine you should have the best. At drug g1sts 50 cents and $1. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail

and their allies-the gold standard peo- pie? The hints have remained closed; has the Advance Agent of Prosperity succeeded to an alarming extent in open i,g the mills? Do we not have with the continuance of gold monometallism the same doleful reports from the commer- oial agencies of business disasters and hard times that attended 1t from it's es- tablishment in 1893? Has there been any change for the better since the November election, when the permanency of the gold standard for at least four years be- came certain?
 Can there be but one answer to these questions? Has the promised prosper ity materialized? Business of all kinds except that of the money shaver and bond clipper remains stagnant. Are the mills being opened? Labor is without constant employment. Times grow harder. By these signs only is the wis dom of the gold standard proven and justified.
 With these incontestible proofs of the benefcence of the gold standard before it the duty of the democratic party to abandon its advocacy of bimetallism and other of its fundamental principles and espouse gold monometalfism must be plain to its enemies especially those who forfeited their membership in it by voting for either Palmer and Buckner, or Mckinley and Hobart
 But to the six and half millions who were loyal to the party, and supported Bryar and the Chicago platform, there appears no reason for repudiatlng the principles or the party, or sufra andering crc tot or little of their contention until s seld Standard and high protective tteisf~~G ~GleveiRndIsm and McKinleyism
