National Issues Must Have No Part
In Municipal Governments.
New York, Oct Seth Low, Ciu-
zens Union candidate for mayor, last
night opened his campaign at a large
and enthusiastic mass meeting held in
Cooper Union. The hall was packed
" men and women, all seemingly i'm
favD" of the Citizens Union movement.
Charles Stewart Smith called the meet
ing TO Orue, and made the opening
speech. Joseph Lasoouue made a long
speech, during which the auGianee
manifested its impatence to hear Mr.
Low. Carl Schurz delivered a long ad-
dress, which was enthusiastically re-
ceived. state Senator Charles Guy
spoke for the home rule Democracy.
Seth Low was then introduced. 1T was
several minutes before he could be
heard, SO enthusiastic was his recep-
tion. In the course of his speech he
said:
"Our cities have been used almost
from the beginning as pawns in the
game of party politics The voters have
marched to the polls, year after year
and voted for the most part from the
point Of view of national issues rather
than with an eye single to the good Of
the city. There have been years
when under the stress Of some great
momentary emergency, men of all par
ties have united to elect this or that
man mayor. But this is the first time
that a ticket has been placed before
the voters of this city on a municipal
platform pure and simple, which en-
bodies an explicit and positive demand
that the city should be administered
for its own sake, and for its own sake
only, without regard to outside inter
ests Of any kind whatever
There is one point as to which Tam
| many, the Republican organization and
the adherents Of Henry George are all
agreed With one voice they proclaim
the doctrine that the administration
of the city ought to be responsible to
some party, as they put it, and not
directly to the people themselves.

Some of our people have an idea that
Birmingham will be a great city some
day. and all they have to do is to sit still
and wait. They have been told by the
press and after-dlnner speakers that the
natural resources OF Birmingham are so
wonderful that no depression or disaster
can keep it down, and that its future is
assured. There is no doubt of Birming-
hams bright future but it will come all
the quicker if the people unite together
aud put their shoulders to the wheel and
push This future prosperity may come
too late for some to enjoy it, A wagner
allowed his wheel to drop in a mud-hole.
Instead of putting his shoulder to the

rock and appealed to Jupiter for help.
Jupiter told him 10 first help himself be-

The cotton machinery makers of the
east have heretofore offered to take stock
in southern cotton mills in payment for
machinery. This has been considerable
help in the building of cotton mills in the
south. But now it is said the northern
cc5ton manufacturers have insisted on
tho machinery makers withdrawing this
Offer and have threatened them with the
withdrawal of their pa ronage II they per-
sisted. The machinery men have acqui-
esced. This desperate step shows that
the northern manufacturers are afraid
of southern competition. 1t is fortunate
that Birmingham has secured her big
cotton mill before this agreement was
reached between the manufacturers and
machinery men.

Cuba is about at an end. This fact, if
such it be, will be hailed with the greate
delight by all liberty loving Americans
The war has been a costly one to CASTLE
and nearly resulted in bankrupting that
already sadly beleaguered country
Many valuable lives were lost during
the struggle, many homes made desolate
and hundreds of women and young girls
made to suffer the tortures Of ;lre damned
through the ruthless prosecutions OF the
Spanish butchers under order of that
soulfess tyrant, Weyler. The Cubans have
made a most desperate baatle for liberty,
and though dearly bought, was fairly
won. The Spaniards, though outnumber-

able Of subduing the spirit which domi-
ma ted the doughty Cubans.

All sections of the country go to New
England to borrow money-even the New
York banks get much of their money
from New England. In 1896 the currency
per capita in Vermont and Rhode Is
land was SIS, and in Virginia and the
Carolinas less than one dollar. New Eng
land has a1nassed it's wealth from cot
ton manufacturing. 1T is wealthier than
Pittsburg and other iron centers. The
manufacture of cotton goods Is profitable
because it gives employment to men, wo-
men and children. In the iron cen'ters
only the men work The savings banks
OF New England show deposits greater
by ten times than any section of the
country.

OUR LETTER BOX.
THE CITY'S PRISONERS.
To the State Herald.

To the State Herald
The papers announce that the city
council, behind closed doors, has made
a contract with the Sloss company, I'M
der which all city prisoners sentenced for
thirty days and over will be sent to Coal
burg prison.
The significance of this act, simply an
nounced, Is greater by far than the mere
announcement would seem to indicate.
The official records disclose the fact
that for years the death rate of Coal
burg prison has been excessive as has
been that OF the state conyicts in Pratt
mines prison. To demonstrate how ex-
cessive the death, rate has been it is
only necessary to compare the death rate
of these prisons with that of the peniten-
tiary convlcts in the adjoining state of
Georgia. This comparison shows our
death tie 20 be about four times as
great. .sttti
The death rate at Coalburg prison for
1896 was leo per 1000. aqate that is simply
outrageous. ~
With these facts before them our rep
