TRUE TO LIFE.

We find the two paragraphs below In
some of our exchanges. The point In
them is a matter of much interest to us
just now:
An old time newspaper man says:
mo sensible man should or ever does
get angry because a man duns him for
his money. A dun is not an impeach-
ment of subscribers integrity. but is
simply an outpouring of publishers
necessities. For instance, 1000 men owe
a man from 81 to $40; he has to dun
them in order to pay his expenses. In
stead of getting angry and stopping his
paper because the publisher asks what
is due, the subscriber should thank the
editor for waiting so patiently, and pay
up like man."
"A western exchange says that a
practical revivalist requested all in the
congregation who paid their debts to
rise. The rising was general. After they
had taken their seats, a call was made
for those who didn't pay their debts, and
one solitary individual arose, who ex-
planned that he was an editor, and could
not pay because the rest of the congre-
cation were owing him their subscrip-
TONS"
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1897-01-22
THE ADvERTIsER's GALL.

The resolutions passed are very much
of the same tenor as those of year ago.
They go further, perhaps, in one respect.
They make 1t distinct that participation
In the party prifna rfes is itself volun-
tary assumption of a pledge to support
the municipal, county, state and federal
tickets. This is all well enough for par
ticipation in the primaries is predicated
also upon adhesion to the principles of
the party. OF course, If the party
abandons dts principles, those who have
pledged themselves to support its ticket
are absolved from their obligations, just
as so many thousand democrats decided
was the case last year.-Montgomery Ad-
vertiser.
If the Advertiser crowd think that, in
face of their open declaration that they
will not support its ticket unless the
party adopts a platform to their liking,
they Are reckoning without their host,and
show they do not understand the sturdy
democrats of Alabama. The democratic
party in national convention regularly
assembled, in the city of Chicago in July
last, declared what the principles of the
party are till it assemblies in national
convention again.

EXTREME AUDAcITY.

The Huntsville Mercury, under the
above caption, says.
1.-The Birmingham lawyers are exhibit
ing considera BILE nerve in their attempt to
take Marion county from the Northern
division of the Northern Judicial circuit
of Alabama. We repeat that this is an
undue exhibition of nerve. because Biz
mingham was given nineteen out of thir-
ty-one counties to begin with, and with
that concession her lawyers should have
been satisfied
1--WE endeavor always to be consistent
in these matters, and would not insist
upon Marion being held to the Northern
division If the government saved any
thing In costs by removing that county
to the Southern division, or Ii 1t was
more convenient for the citizens OF Ma
rion county to go to Birmingham; but
since neither of these conditions prevail
we should leave nothing undone to rebuke
the greed and avarice of the Birmingham
fee hunters.
THE petition published in the Mer-
curry yesterday morning is being circu-
lated for signatures, and should be read
ily signed by every citizen of Huntsville.
They will thus place their stamp of dis
approval upon what clearly appears TO
be an attempt to sap the strength OF -the
Northern division, until Birmingham can
control the entire circuit We are con-
fident the people of Huntsville Will nave
the assistance of the attorneys and cit
liens of north Alabama in this effort to
retain what rightly and justly belongs
to them.
If the lawyers of Birmingham have
been taking any active steps to take
Marion county from the Northern dis
trict," they have been exceedingly quiet
about it. The first information to this
effect is found in the above article.
While It is true the general DISPOSE
ton not only in Alabama, but other
states seems to be to get as near Birm-
ingham as possible in order to keep In
touch with the great progressive strides
of the age. This is the real nerve"
which Birmingham exhibits that the out
side world Is attracted by and not petty
matters that the Mercury would attempt
to convey to its readers as facts. 1t 1t
is for the public welfare and the county
of Marion that that county be attached
to the Southern division of the judicial
circuit, we see no good reason why these
advantages ought not to be respected. In
the meantime if 1t develops that it would
be best for the people of Madison county
and the country at large that that coun-
ty should be taken under the wing Of
Great Birmingham, the State Herald
promises on the behalf of our city that
the brood will be kept warm and nicely
cared for

rHR coMMrr.rFE.s AcTIoN.

The democratic state executive commit
tee acted conservatlvely In keeping open
its doors, like the church, to all those
who truly repent of their sins, confess the
true faith, and promise to do better in
the future.
But while the committee acted conserv-
atively In keeping the doors open, 1t also
acted wisely in taking the additional pre-
cautions against those who would partici-
pate In the primar ies, beat meetings and
nominating conventions of the party, and
then not abide the result unless satlsfac-
tory to them.
The committee wisely saw fit, in re-
adopting the call of year ago. to fur
Their provide that those participating in
the primaries, conventions or mass meet
ings of the party pledged themselves to
support the nominees of such primaries,
conventions, or mass meetings, whether
municipal county, state or federal.
This thoroughly covers the case of those
who bolted In the November election, and
attempted to excuse themselves by con-
tending that by participating in the state
primaries they only bound themselves
to support the nominees of the state con-
vention.
The mugwumps-that class who have
no political convictions. which do not
have their beginning and end in the
pocketbook, holding allegiance to neither
of the great political parties, yet seeking
to influence the policies of both, but
finally throwing their strength to that
one which at a particular emergency is
thought will best conserve their private
interests-have no foot hold and can
never thrive in Alabama.

UP TO HER OLD TRICKS.

AS was expected the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser endeayored in a labored editorial
TO find a loop hole in the action of the
democratic state executive committee
through which it might crawl back into
the democratic party and bring along
with it it's past political predictions and
party affiliations. But the action of the
committee is too plain to be misunder-
stood by the masses or to be warped out
of shape by the clever editor of the Ad-
vertiser. If the Advertiser cherishes the
Authorization from now until the next
meeting of the democratic state conven-
ton that any voter will be allowed to
participate in party council or to take
part in party primaries with the privilege
that If the action of the party under any
conception ''abandons its principles" and
chose who have pledged themselves to
support its tickets are absolved from
their obligations it will find not only a
will-of- the-wisp confronting 1t, but an
honest democrat about the polls who will
see that the vote is not polled.
Alabama democrats have been exceed
ingly liberal of late years. Have lowered
the bars to such height that even the
Montgomery Advertiser complained that
they were too low for party protection,
and that paper cannot now in its mad
career remove it's own leopard
spotted political toga or mislead the pub
lie mind of just Interpretation of party
law.
Any voter who is so dishonest as to
want to participate in the primary of any
political party, from Belva Lockwood's
enunciated principles OF civil government
to the high ebb of Bryan democracy he is
unworthy of franchise. And any man
who thinks himself wiser than the ma
jority of political party with which he
may align himself as to what constitutes
principles and right, is too dangerous q

WHEELBARROW INSTEAD.

PhfIadeIph1a RECORD. -
Maj. Pardin, of the italian army. has
invented a very ingenious continuance
which is designed to supersede the KNAPP
sack. He has invented vehicle to which
he has given the name of the cyclosac, or
the sack on wheels. On this will be car
ried the baggage of two soldiers, and the
uprights of the tent will be used to con-
vert it into a sort of wheelbarrow which
the soldier can drag behind him when as
cending or push before him when de-
scending. The two soldiers will take It
turn about to push or draw the cyclosac,
and it is commended that this arrange
ment will not merely enable the troops to
march much longer distances, but to
being relieved of all impediments, which
can be left in these light wheelbarrows
