The Gauge has now entered it's eleventh volume, and has by far q longer record than any other paper published in this county. Ten years of Escambia's history is embraced in the past ten volumes S, bound and in keeping in the county safss. Events both pleasant and sad are chron- icled; deaths of loved onss, marriages of the young and hopeful. Then there is column after-column, thousands of lines, for the good of our town and county. Ten years writing with always a desire to benefit the county in which we live has had it's effect, and with the help of the many friends of the paper we aim to make it accomplish more in the future than it has in the past, and in saying this we earnestly solicit the cooperation of all of the business men of the town and county. A card of every businsss house should appear in these columns. It would aid tha business of the town col lectively and Individuality Standard Gauge

If we knew the moitivss of mosquito we could more justly estimate his acts. We awake in the morning and find him under the bar. Did he with malice afore- thought and with premeditated blood thirstiness search for nr:ans of ingress within the bar from which we thought him debarred, or did he incidentally or &C., cidentally enter the forbidden territory without full knowledge of the enormity of his crime? Socrates laid it down as an axiom that every one will do right if he knows what is right. We are inclined to conclude that the mosquito did not sin with full knowledge of right and wrong. He hangs upon tie netting full of blood and caught red-ha nded in the act We are moved by the same impulse that inn pelled Hamlet to kill his uncle in the midst of his sins, so that his heels might kick at heaven agld his soul descend to hell, but in consideration of his lamb-l like innocence We spare him, well knowing that the bad beer he has absorbed will kill him anyway.

If postal receipts furnish any key to the business of the country Alabama is certainly on the upward grade. Every presidential postoffice in the state wi: h one exception, showed an increase in re- ceipts for the twelve months ending March 31, 1897. The increase in Montgom- cry, as noted some time ago, was 12h per, cert. Not only this, but there has been a y~ry general increase in the amounr of business transa cled at the fourth class offices of the state, as more of them re- ported 2 surplus above expenses and the aggregat te surplus was larger. Under such conditions. what must be thought of thA newsps per which would declare as ;he BirminGhom m State Herald did some days ago, that our peope are living on mast and covering with a fig leaf?"- Advertiser.

Debs says the sermon on the mount is the best essay on socialism ever uttered. He is badly mistak n. The man who joins socialistic colony expects the oth- CTS to help him more than he helps them he expects to get something for noth- ing, This spirit of selhshness is the fatal defect of socialism, On th= other hand, the sermon on the mount is ihe essence of unselfishness and brotherly love. If a man is fully imbued with the spirit of the sermon on the mount he will lay down his life for his llowman.

If the gold bug leaders really suspect that the silver leaders are pushing the money question into a prominent issue in this state, they are mistaken. This is- sue is being made by the people; it is one of their demands. It will not down. even if silver leaders said "Silence;" much le. s can "big Iniun" gold bug orc CT u al it be heard of no more. It is here, the great practical reform of the people, to stay until it wins, in the nation as it will forever win in the state.

The tariff bill will be kept in confer ence probably for ten days. The main contests will be on .he sugar schedule, burlaps and bagging, and probably on lumber. If the house conferess win their contention on sugar and bagging, the bill will be practically the Dingley bill. It is probable that the house eonfefees win carry their point.

GOV. JOHNSTON FOR ECONOMY.


 It is well known that we were not a fol- lower of Gov. Johnston in his race for the gubernatorial nom.nation; when we bought the fac,s justified it, to find fault with his official acts and to expose our criticism in the plainest language.
 In doing this, we always attempted to be fair and have never sought to blame unless the blame was deserved, and are always ready to praise where praise should be given. We have adhered to this course of conduct because tis righ. i; as an individual w can afford to live according to no ether standard, and as an editor, we conceive it to be our duty to upheld our chief executive in all things that meet with approval in our judgment however we may oppose him and diff fer from him abou. the construction of democratic doctlins.
 We have been constrained to write the above because we learn that there is some local opposition to Gov. Johnston at Au- burn because he made an Sctive effort to reduce he salary of the strea surer of lhe Agr.cultural and Mechanical college. It seems that the treasurer gets $1 300, and is allowed an aSsiSsaEt in addition thereto, at $250 year This aggregates S1 ,750 that it costs the Agricultural and Mechanical college every year for a treae- urer while the treasurer of the Univer- sity of Alabama only gets $400 per year. It is said that an offer has been made to fill the office at Auburn for s1 coo If this ia true, Gov Johnston was right, and all good citizens will approve his action and regret tha, he did not succeed.
 We do net know what sum the governor advocated pay'ing the treasurer of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, but in our humble opinion $500 year would be ample compensation for the services to be rendered.
 Tn these hard timss, when McKinley's wave of prosperity is sIo dilatory in put. ting in an appearance. and when we re- member that for many years the state has been apprcprfating S60.000 a year of the peoples money to this college at Au- burn, every tax payer will approve an effort to reduce fat salaries. If we are correctly informed Gov Johnston, you have done right, and we approve your conduet.-Deeatur Nsws

THE STEEL RUN IN MOBILE.

It is wise to regard all new proposi- tions conservatiyely; although it is not wise to let conservatism blind the intel ligence to such an extent as to make it refuse to recognize what may be a most excellent thing. There is, however, more than the usual demand for employment of conservative thought and expression on this occasion, when we come to an
 nounce MT. Stantons discovery in steel making, for the reason of the stupend- Ous importance HofHs thats@ discovery, which, if a true one means that the art of steel making will be revo1ntionized, and the mineral wealth of Alabama in
 creased inestimatey in valus. MT. Stan tens process contemp1ates the making of fine steel from the crude red ore of the Birmingham district a feat that has not hitherto been accomplished, except at so great a cost as to make the experiment. practically a failure. We know nothing of the process itself: yet we have seen the results. and have been told that the process requires no skilled labor in its operation and TO expeniVe machinery; and we have also been told, by men of acquaintance with such matters that the steel produced is of fine grain, of ex- oellent quality, and easily magnet.zed. We learn that further experiments are to be made, which it is believed will Gem- onstrate conclusively the. success of Mr. Stanton's discovery.--M Register.

SAME OLD SONG.

BIRMINGHAM STATE HERALD
Entered at the postoffice at Birmingham. Ala, as second-class matter.

The force of the silver movement is that it comes from the people, who have their hearts in it's success. It belongs to that class of reforms which have feeling and faith behind them. The sordid desire of the money getter, the typical gold bug and the avarice of the miser, are as nothing in the way of this grand move ment of the people for their prosperity.

MT Kolb left .he democratic party and walked out honestly, free, frank. open and above board.--Baldwin County Times. Kolb deserves credit for many things, but this is not one of them. He played inside the party for nearly four years, calling himself Jeff rsonian," :" and declaring himself a better democrat than any one else in Alabama. It was not un.il November IA, 1895, that the Bir- ningham State Herald gave him his conge. Kolb would not have left even then If he had not plainly recognized that If he stayed any longer he would be kicked out.-Mobile Register.
 tTo be strictly honest and conflden tial, don't you think there are few men hanging on 70 the democratic party who like Kolb, can almost see the footprints on their pants?

The Tuscaloosa Times pays Conmis- sioner Ross c. Smith the following com plim mt:
 We regret that our space will not ad- init of giving the full text of an interest ing paper in the State Herald of the Sd from the pen of Mr. Ross c. Smith MT. Smith is the youngest of the Alabama railroad commits ssioners, and is one of the brightest young men of the state. He IS broad and progressive in his views and full of well directed energy. He bids fair to become an importan. figure in rail- road circles al well as in politics and his profession. Alabama needs more of such material as he is made of in forging her way to the front rank as a great state industrial, commercial and agricultural"
