ORIGIN OF LINGO.

Wont you please define a jingo?" asks correspondent. The definition can be made by an illustration. When Har- rison was president several of the crew of an American man-of-war got leave of absence and went into the port of Chilli It was during a revolution in Chilli, and the American seamen were set upon by a. mob and one killed and several wound
 ed The Chilian government sent it's apologies to this government and offered indemnity. When the affair was te1e- graphed this country it caused much ex- citement and the war feeling ran high. President Harrison issued a ringing proclamation. demanding apologies and indemnities from Chilli. Democrats as well as republicans applauded him for his manly words but this applause was changed to groans when 1t was learned that Harrison had received the apolo- gies of Chilli before he issued his procla- nation Harrison played the jingo.

DAuGHDRILL MUST HANG.

As will be noticed from a special this morning from Montgomery, Gov. John ston, after having carefully weighed all petitions relative to extenuating the death of Colin Daughdrill for the killing of J. I. Bates commercial traveller de- cides that he cannot intercept the de- liberats verdict rendered by the jury" While sympathy naturally extends to MT. Daughdrill on account of his family. and while the murder was not premedi- tated, yet there Is no ground under the evidenc- through which clemency could be extended. With the sympathetic na- ture Gov. Johnston Is known to possess, 1t would have been his pleasure to have granted clemency if it had been within his power. but duty before the law and the people is his adopted motto and sen timentality cannot be allowed to come between justice and right. The killing of Mr. Bates was one of those occurrences wherein the fell destroyer. whisky, con trolled the man, but the law cannot and does not excuse self abuse or license death at the mercy !of this evil. But let the warning of this occurcencs ever fas- ten itself upon the memory of him who would touch the foul beverage, and from this good day let him take pledge be- twe4n himself and his God to touch not, taste not the unclean thing"

though the price obtained for the corn be double what II Is. when there is large crop, the country is not so well off as a whole. Besides, who is to say whether there is profit or not in agricultural pro- duets at given prices? Profit depends on the cost of proiuetion quite as much as on the price realized for the product.
 The country as a whole never was so economical and never so sound at bot tom as 1t is today. There Is no trace left of former extravaganza or waste, while the last three years of bad times have taught people general lessons in econo- my that will bear fruit. What we chif- ly want is some evidence that the next congress is going to approach the matter of tariff making in a patriotic and com mon sense spirit, with an honest resolve to consider the business interests of the whole country and provide what those interests need with the minimum of pre- Hminary agitation and uncertainty. Tn country cannot afford to trifie with the matter because the incoming adminlstra- tion will stand or fall by the supreme test of business( and if 1t falls the next cleo tion will be a matter to be dreaded by everybody who owns any property. Peo- pie must see to 1t that no mistake is made thfs time.

THE CARNIVAL.

The people are here. From every quarter of the globe.
 The largest crowd that ever assembled in The largest crowd that ever assembled in the Magic City.
 Twelve car loads came In over the Kan sas City railroad at noon. and others fol- lowed.
 Every railroad entering the city taxed | to their utmost capacity
 As usual Birmingham is doing her duty and all have comforta ble places to sleep and plenty to eat at usual prices. Birmingham don't extort. We live for another day beside this. and a big crowd is no new thing
 Make yourselves at home today-have a good time-conduct yourselves like gentlemen and ladies and all will be well. The city Is well policed with officers as true as steel and as alert as any man on Pinkertons force-if you are touched simply touch Gamewell alarm and the blue coats will do the rest.
 Yesterday was in reality carnival day in Birmingham. By 10 o'clock the streets and sidewalks were crowded and when the parade started at 2 o'clock last even ing the crowd was simply immense. Some little disappointment was felt over the mistaken idea that the parade would start on the arrival of Rex at 1 80 o'clock, but everybody anxiously awaited for the hour 6.3O. the hour BIS published for the procession to start.
 Birmingham has thus far done herself proud, and with the extra features that will be added today not only the visitors but the home folks as well can justly be proud of the magnificent display.
 BirmiHgham is not only a-coming, but is already here. She is the pride city of the south and of Alabama, for she has only to touch the button and the people will do the rest in making success of anything she undertakes. either of city, county, state or national importance.
 The Magic City is truly in holiday at tire, and every citizen and visitor feels at ease and at home, and are we'll pleased with the hospitality extended and the beauties and grandeur of the occasion in welcoming the second visit of King Rex.
 The Carnival society is to be congratu- lated for its success in entertaining the public in a manner far in excess of all expectations, and also for the most thorough and perfect arrangement of the programme that enabled every one at all posted to see every feature of the process sion, and at comfortable and convenient places.

The phrase fright to vote' is mislead, ing. No man has an inherent right to vote in the sense that he has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness" The state can limit the franchise as 1t thinks best for public policy. It dis franchises women, although they may be more capable of voting intelligently than many men who are allowed to vote., The state does not permit idiots to vote, and will not give a man the franchise until he is 21. In many states the educational qualificati tion has been adopted. The privilege of voting must be won--we are not born with it.

SITUATION IN CUBA.

The Mobile News has the following to say of the situation in Cuba:
 We believe that the situation in Cuba has readhed an acute stage. In the first place, "the sluggard who has slept and snored while Americans suffered" will very soon be retired from the lofty posi- tion to which he Is so unsuited, and a man who has the confidence of a great political party will be at the head of the government In the next place, the new congress will not be legs disposed than its predecessor is to compel respect for the rights of our citizens who are sojourning in foreign lands. Many claims against Spain remain unsettled; Gen. Lee has re- ported the mpriSonrnent in violation of treaty rights of one of our citizens and the assassination while in "a dungeon of another; and he has asked for and been refused such support as would enable him to protect those citizens. These facts have been. denied by newspaper writers who are soainfatuated with the president that they would not believe the evidences of their own existence were he to express a doubt thereof but there is proof that he has forwarded urgent rep resentations- to Washington in regard to the persecution of Americans in Cuba. <

ORGANIZERS BY NATURE.

The Boston Transcript says the south has not the capacity for organization that the north has. This assertion is wide of the mark. The southern man Is by birth and nature an organizer. His father was probably planter and accus- toned to manage large affairs. The largs organizations in Birmingham have been perfected by southern men. They were pioneers, too, and had no precedents ito govern them. Our big street railway and electric light system. suburban parks and dummy lines. coal and iron com- panies, banks, newspapers. etc, were or ganized by southern men. When the southerner goes to New York he carries with him this capacity for organization. Charles Broadway Rouss was a confed- crate soldier and who went to New York with $50, and organized one of the larg- est department stores of the world and is now a multi-millionaire.

OUR TREATY LAWS.

Some people think that if Spain arrests an American citizen in Cuba and tries him for some offense that it is just causs for war This is erroneous Our treaty with Spain sets forth that an American citizen may be arrested and imprisoned, if charged with an offense, and must be tried b=fore a Spanish tribunal within a reasonable length of time. An Ameri- can citizen is as much amenable to the Spanish courts as a Spaniard. If he Is guilty of an offense against the laws he will be punished as quickly but no quick CT than Spaniard. In our treaties with foreign governments we draw a distinc- ton between civilized and semi-civilized, and barbarous countries, in this matter of the trial of our citizens. If d country is civilized and has jurisprudence sini- lar to our own, we agree that our citizens shall be tried in it's courts If coun- try is semi-civilized, we agree that our citizens may be tried in it's civil but not in its military courts. To a barbarous country we say, you must try an Ameri- can culprit before the American consul. Up to a quarter of century ago we would not allow an American to be tried in a Japanese court. When we made this concession to Japan there was great rejoicing among her people for it was a recognition of Japan as a civilized na- finn

Chancellor Cobbs, of our city, is a gen. tleman of the old school, and was never known to do anything wrong, wilfully "A few days ago he was at the brilliant nuptials of Judge John c. Anderson, in Tuscaloosa, and when the minister said: Whom God has joined together let not man put asunder," friend of the chan cellor nudged him and smiled. Immedi- ately afterwards, the chancellor was in- troduced, outside of the church building, to g very brilliant woman from a neigh boring state. Chancellor Cobbs seemed so much impressed by the ceremony that he felt guilty for what he had done that day and said to his fair companion: "Niss -, have seen one couple made one flesh today, and have divorced seven feel guilty "Oh, Chancellor" She re- piled, never mind; they were all darkies."

RAILROAD THROUGH ECUADOR.

A syndicate of American capitalists Is
 preparing to build a railroad through Ecuador. This will afford us another outlet for our glutted markets. The great need of this country is transporta-
 tfon. not in the United States, but in other countries. There are millions of peo- pie who want our products but there is no way of getting 1t to them. If we ship 1t to their seaport towns there are no railroads to carry it to the interior. The people of India are starving to death for the want of the corn that our western farmers are throwing in the fire. We
 could ship corn to the ports of India.

SPECIAL CITY LAWS.

Editor State Herald,
 After carefully watching the requests for the passage of necessary laws, also the amendment of existing ones, of the largest cities of our state, Birmingham. Montgomery and Mobile, and the results therefrom. the idea suggests Itself to me that it would be highly beneficial to each meet and discuss the workings in each of the cities of the laws desired amended. also the probable workings of such laws as are deemed necessary for its govern ment, by each city, with view to the speedy enactment in the future of such laws and amendments as may, seem nec- essary. By this means each city would learn from the others much that is of value in the matter cs laws and their workings in those cities, enabling the adoption of only those which have been found beneficial.

Judge Swayne, of the federal court, has decided the Texas antitrust law uncon- stitutional in that it interferes with in- dividual rights in the making of con tracts. A similar law was introduced in the Alabama legislature by MT. Dan Greene, but 1t died in the senate The Advertiser seems to think that if this law had passed the farmers could not meet and agree to limit the acreage of cotton so as to increase its price. While the law was intended to prevent conspiracy for the enhancement of commodities al- ready in existence. 1t certainly did not have reference to cotton before it was planted.
