the secretary would take up his residence in the east in the future, says:
 Secretary Herbert has always come to Montgomery to register and to vote. He is IS much a citizen of this state as Gen. Shelly, who practices law in Washington, and yet is accounted enough an Alaba- milan to be called to conduct campaigns here. Secretary Herbert has declared that he intended to remain a citizen of Alabama, and the future will demon strate that he will take just as lively an interest in this states welfare hereafter as in the past.
 Now why couldn't the Advertiser say that CoL Herbert was as much citizen of this state as Senator Pugh or Gen. Shelly? Why omit Senator Pugh since his citizenship has recently been ques- toned by the Advertiser?
 As the Advertiser has recently devoted considerable space in the discussion as to whether Senator Pugh is a citizen of Alabama or not, will it not nov concede that Senator Pugh is as much a citizen of this state as is the Advertisers pet. Col. Herbert?

SENATOR PETTUS.

The New York Post contains the fol- lowing interview with Senator Pettus;
 T am too new to express an opinion on the affairs of the country" But after stroking his very gray hair in thought- full manner he added You may say that I have no fixed plans. I am a plain, old fashioned democrat of the old school. My parents lived within a mile of the hermitage. my father and relatives fought under Jackson in the Creek war, and I have inherited my democracy. I am lawyer, and this Is the first political office I have ever had conferred on me. l, am in favor of a coinage law such as we had before the war, the coinage law of 1887. In regard to the Cuban question I will say that 1 want to avoid a w,ar with Spain if it can be done on honora ble terms but I am always to be found on the side of the people who are fighting for their liberty. I want the flag strong enough to protect Americans even in Gen. tra1 Africa, and do rot want to see any of our ships searched in any harbor. It makes no difference whether an Ameri
 can is a citizen born, or has become so from naturaliza tion. They have the same rights and should receive protection.
 "As to the tariff question, the people of Ala bama, think, prefer specific tax to an ad valorem duty, but they are op- posed to protection. A tariff that is just will give all the protection that Is want

THE ALABAMA EXHIBIT.

The following suggestions from the Huntsville Mercury is timely. There IS no time to lose if the purpose Is to make a credttable Alabama exhibit. The state Herald reitei-ates that Birmingham will have to lead off in the matter and our citizens had as well get ready for the work if there is to be an exhibit:
 Now that Alabama will have an exmort at the Nashville Centennial exposition It behooves our citizens to bestir them selves in behalf of the movement. It IS date, there Is no time for delay. We can have creditable exhibit if we only take the matter up with will and push it with that degree of vigor necessary to the success of other projects.
 We have b+en afraid the governor would not reach this matter in time to insure display. but in this we are again reminded that "all things come to him who waits and our waiting has not been in vain. Work is what we need, and now that the state proposes financial atd, our progressive commissioners should not loose a moment of the valuable time at their disposal.

 There is no reason why any war should be made on the oil inspectors. Even if this law should increase oil one cent a gallon the people can well afford to pay the increase in order to be relieved of the danger of burning inferior oil. How ever, we expect to see no increase in the price of oil on account of this new law. -Anniston Hot Blast.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A PATHETIC APPEAL.

As President-elect Mckinley mounted the train which was to bear him to Wash ington to be inaugurated amid display more suitable to the Coronation eff a mon aroh than the installment of the chief executive of a republic, man in the crowd on the platform shouted to him, Don't forget the workingmen. ma jor."
 Don't forget the workingmen!" Un- der the circumstances, it was a pathetic appeal. and the dispatches say that Mo Kinley was visibiy affected by it.
 The people are not likely to forget this incident of Nick Kin1ey's inauguration jour ney They will look to the new president to show his love for the workingmen by acts They will mark whether this ap- peal has been pushed out of sight by the pressure brought to bear on the new adnnnistra tion by the sugar trust and other p1utocratic infiuerces.

PRAcT1cAr, WEATHER.

A Denver paper lauds the little weather sheet, Practical Weather published at Montgomery, Ala, and remarks that 1t is not quite so cyclonic as Hicks. Both Hicks and Practical Weather pre- dicted severer weather for February than we had. Instead of the mercury playing around zero, people became afraid the fruit trees would put out their buds to. be nipped by a late frost. But how a Denver paper could find the heart to laugh at Montgomery prediction we cannot see With cyclones, snow storms, avalanches twenty-five feet deep. and floods like Noah's on the face of that part of the earth even the weather predicted by Hicks and the Montgomery prophet for Alabama would seem to a Denver man a zephyr of Cathay.-Athens Cour-

THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL.


 William J. Mckinley was yesterday in augurated president
 After four years of democratic rule the republicans again hold the reigns of gov- ernment and control the house and pos sibly the senate.
 The inaugural address was in keeping with the principles of the republican par ty and the platform upon which the president was nominated and elected The speaker endeavored to shift the is- sue terminating in his election from monetary to tariff, but the effort is too labored to be misunderstood. He says the financial system needs some revision but our money should be put on an en- during basis. and that a system should be devised that will not diminish the circulating medium by offering premi- um on contraction. He does not think the government should be longer imposed upon to maintain so large gold reserve with it's attendant and inevitable tempta- ton to speculation. Financial laws. he says, is the outgrowth of experience and trial and should not be amended with out investigation and demonstration. He win urge an early revision of our coinage and banking currency laws. That he proposes if, in his power, to appoint a commission of well-informed citizens of different political parties, fitted for the work and use every effort to make our finances the subject of partisan conten- tion. The experiment. he says, is worth the trial. and may prove beneficial to the entire country. He will respect howev- CT. the wishes of the people who elected him relative to securing money con ference with other nations and secure cooperation in sustaining the relative integrity of the two money metals, gold and silver.
 The president urges economy In all branches of the government, especially in periods of depression, but that revenues should always be large enough to meet with ease and promptness cur rent needs. and the principle and inter- est on the public debt.
 He favors the raising of the bulk of the revenue from taxes on foreign produc- tions and avoiding as much as possible every form of direct taxation. He touches only lightly on his protection hobby but says the people have declared that such legisla ton should be had as will give encouragement to the industries and the development of the country, and that he will urge speedy legislation along this line.
 The entire address indicates that the new president will act cautiously in all matters. and will seek but the best sources of information. He will court the support of his friends and will bend all efforts to perfect harmony between the executive and legislative departments.
 The spirit of domination does not ap- pear under a single head discussed and every question is handled with precision and care. Taken altogether. 1t has the ring of patriotism about 1t that can but be admired by his political opponents, and those who do not agree with him in some of the main and vital questions considered.

GIVE THEM A FAIR TRIAL.

The state press is considerable divided in opinion as to whether or not the tax commission and coal oil inspection laws should have been parsed, but why con- tinue the grumbiing? These laws are enacted now, and will be enforced regard less of whether or not they suit the peo- pie, and if the same effort is ma de to give them a. fair trial that has been made to dissatisfy the people in advance. they will be easily repealed if found unsuited to the purposes for which they were in- ended.-Huntsville Mercury.

COB PIPE FACTORY.

Just the thought of the new administra- ton going to make money begins to stir out, the first evidence of 1t in this oom- munity will be felt in an enterprise that is now shaping itself up for business. It will be a cob pipe factory. Several of the leading citizens and business men of town have taken hold of the matter and are getting up the money to start a stock company, ard will soon have the necessary amount raised to organize.
 We are glad to see this start made and hope to see others follow. All Steven son needs to have some business life about 1t is al effort or the part of those who are able to take hold of small in- dustries and push the matter along. and the good results would soon be seen and felt and business would take on new life

THE BIRMINGHAM MARD1 GRAs.

 The Gazette man, with several thous- and other Tuscaloosa people, took in the carnival at Birmingham on Tuesday. If point of numbers is any way to judge, certainly the second Mardi~ Gras was a pr ronounced and unqualified success. Bir- mngham has gotten together some sew eral big crowds in her history. but she ecIipsed herself on this occasion. The streets were a jam the whole day long and when the parades passed breathing room was at a premium.
 The carnival itself was very clever. The day parade on Tuesday was prnci- pally of advertising floats, some of which were exceedingly good, notably that of the Southern Railway company, which elicited much admiration. There were a few fancy floats and many masSers on horseback.
 At night the parade was very hand some. The mounted police and the cav airy company were in this. The foa ts represented the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty" and some of them were very pretty. The couriers in their satin and tinscl costumes all lit up by the glowing red fire made a very brilliant show in- deed. The parade was particularly at- tractive as it passed the Southern club quarters. where the st-set was spaprAd sny :s nuge arch bearing rhe cmp name in incandescert lights of different colors. On the whole, it was a very creditablc affair. and Birmingham deserves to be congratulat ated.-Tuscaloosa Gazette.
