TIMELY AND CORRECT.

In last Sundays State Herald appeared an interview from Hon. John w. Tomlin- son. in which he advises the party to stand firmly by the Chicago platform and our State platform if we would succeed. He says that the currency and tariff re- reform-currency reform first, and along with it tariff reform-will be the battle cry of the next campaigns, national and State. He advises that only men of con vctions should be put in authority, and that pretended friends should not be al- lowed to mislead the party. The inter view of Col Tomlinson is timely and his views correct. He is at the head of the bimetallc organization of the state, but he differs materially in his ideas of bi- metallism from the Palmer and Buckner construction of that term, who also claim to be true bimetallists. In other words MT. Tomlinson is 16 to 1 bimetallist, and he represents what is known as the free silver element of the democratic party of Alabama If the free silver mem follow the recommendations of MT. Tom linson there will be no doubt about their success.-Russell Register.
Birmingham state herald., 1897-06-06

Sena Or Morgan has made the point that the house Is not in session under lthe constitution. and eminent lawyers have agreed with him. The Chicago Times Herald, republican, attempts 10 show the constitutional provisions on the mat ter of adjournment. Neither house can adjourn sine die withou. the consent of the other. The president can adjourn congress as we'll as convene 1t. Either house can adjourn for three days at a time without the consent of llhe other house. It is shis last provision under which the lower house is acting. Proba- ply Senator Morgan would admit the val idB.y of the arguments made by the Time5lHerald and still contend thao the house was not in session according to the constitution. No doubt the cons lit u- tion contemplates that congress shall transact she business for which members were elected. The house is not transact ing business, and cannot urstil the speak CT appoints the committees and therefore it is not in session according to the spirit If not, the letter of -Iihe constitution.

the bondsmen that no recovery can eyer be had except for the original amount
 1t is She duy of principal to inform a security or a bond when default Is made and give him an opportunity to protect himself. Who ever heard of the president of corporation discovering thai an employe was sealing money and allowing him to continue the business without informing hss suretfes? Col. Tomplxins ccztended that the gta.e can nos be estopped by the negligence or de- fault of any official, but he eontended that in equfsy and good conscience it was estopped.
 The county has a large Judgment against these sureties and we doubs not would jump at the oppoIituntay to take half what the state got; the judgment of the state ante-daissd that Of the county, and one ogher creditor had a priority over the state for about $2,5OO. which these sureGies had to pay.
 The original petition for a compromise was filed in August, 1896. and was ad- dressed to Gov. Oates and hes.heni audi torland attorney general. If either Coy. Jones or Gov. Oa.es knew of any reason why the state should not compronzisesit would seem that they had ample opp0r- tunfty to state the reasons. It certainly would seem that they ought to have .laken some interest in the matter.
 No one is dlsponedit to charge Gov. Jones with misstating the facts. The truth seems to be ,that .he governor is con- founding conversations had with old man Rushton after Randolph's flight. and now thinks they occurred before
 Gov. Oates lakes manly position. He says he was just deceived in Randolph. He believed Randolph honest, and that he would make good the deficit; he trusted eltl5 was betrayed.
 The board had before them when they acted the interviews printed in the Ad- ventiser of April 2, 1895, with Governors Jones and Oates. and we presume the board supposed thaJ these gentlemen told all that they knew about the Randolph case. It was exciting profound interest then. and both gentlemen had been crit icized for their failure to act. The board said i'm the award: These and other facts tended strongly ard persuasively to show to ihe board that if prompt measures had been taken by the state officials further defalcatfon beyond $6, 400 might not have occurred
 Is there single human being in Ala ba ma tha. does not believe that this state ment is absolutely true? Does Gov. Jones hinl1elf not believe 1t? And If it is true why should ex-Goy. Jones complain?
 The moral of the whole businesH is that ITO public official should lemporize with wrong doing no matter who the offender is It is better to follow the law than to Grust to man.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur- pose. namely, receptacle for the urine. and as such it Is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way Is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from care less local treatment of other diseases
 CHIEF CAUSE.
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys Is the chief cause of bladdsr troubles So the womb, like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much Is not liable to weak ness or disease, except in rare cases. It IS situated back of and very close to the bladder. therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kid neys, back, bladder or urinary passage IS often by mistake. attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error Is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly. set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble The mild and the ex- traordlnary effect of Dr. Ki1mers Swamp Foot, the great kidney and bladder reme- dy is soon realized.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT.

Editor of the State Herald:
 I write you in reference to the Univer- sfty of Alabama For three years I was a student at the University and my old est son was graduate of the institution and another of my sons was a, student there.
 There are many reasons, as an Alaba- milan, which cause me to feel an inter est in the University make the above ssatements to show that whatever may think and say in connection with this subject is directed by proper motives :,
 The question of presidency of the Uni- yersity very properay engages the Rtten- stisne ef the people throngh hat1ts thes tate; much Is being written, and more is be- ing said upon the subject 7 =
 An examination of the history of this .onoe grand institution shows tfat it has educated and sent out into alE the walks of life men who stand fairly equal with the gra,duates of any institution in the land, and 1t Is pertinent just here, in re- ferring to this subject, to say the grad uates of the University of Alabama re- ceived their education at the hands of Southern teachers. eiasI
 am Informed that gentlemen who are friends of the University advocate the selection of a president for this institi- tion-Northern men. 3is
 IL iS not my purpose 10 lnQtllSe In a sectional feefhng of prejudice but the de- sire to foster and perpetuate a veneration and esteem for the South--not the '.New South" but the old South--talat causes me to make that reference. s.as
 There Is enough in the old South, with her patriots. sbatemen and chfva1ry to present to the minds of the youth of our country to stimulate them to aIcquire knowledge and make useful citiens, with out entering any uncertain fields
 Why any of our people should desire to use the term "New South" is unknown to me. 4
 I do not wish to be understood as not favoTing advancement and progress, but do not deem 1t essential for our peo- pie to demonstrate tfledr desire and win ingness to make progress to pander to the prejudice of any body and discard the memories of country which poss assad the finest type of manhood and woman hood the word ever saw,
 If we cannot, or I should say if the trustees of the University cannot find an AIabamian or southern man to the "mon- ner born" who is competent to fill the chair of president, then let the walls of the Institution stand as a monument 10 our ignorance. rather than have 1t stard as a rnonupFnt of our disgrace, declarirg to tlss world we are co deficient that n aM our Southland there can not be forrd

THE SENIOR BISHOP.

P The visit to this city of Bishop Wilmer calls to the memory of many of his ad- mirers much of the history of this be- loved and venerable Christian worker. His patriotism is as true and unwavering as his religion and his worth and merit appreciated by every one irrespective of creed. ss
 Bishop Wilmer is a historic character. He is identified with the past and the present. He ia beloved and admired not only by his own denomination, but by all denominations. His long life has been filled with good works. and the people rise up and call him blessed. He is native of Virginia, but has lived the larger part of his life in Alabama. His wife is also a native of Virginia. His first charge was a small church near Richmond, and one Sunday while he was in the pulpit he saw his future wife en- tsr. He determined to try and win her heart and hand, and succeeded. They have lived together happily for sixty eight years. It is now eight years since they celebrated their golden wedding, and their friends sincerely trust that they may live to celebrate their diamond wedding on the 18th anniversary of their marriage.
 Bishop Wilmer made national repu-. tation just, after the rsby refusing to pray for the president of the United States as the Episcopal prayer-book dic- tates.' He took the position that the State was, under military rule, that the people had no choice in the selection of those in authority and that it would do violence to their honest convictions to pray for those they could not love and respect A military order was-.-dssaed closing up,-the Episcopal churches but the bishop continued to hold services in private houses until the order was re- r It iss Said that the bishop was an in- v1ted guest at a dinner in northern city just after the war. A northern man made remark to the effect that the South was living on the crumbs that fell from the north as Lazarus lived on the crumbs that fell from the table of Dives. The bishop remarked that the South was like Lazarus because it had been ''licked by dogs.n ls ss
 The sermons by the bishop are clear and lucid as running water. He expresses whole sermon in an epigram. Preach ing one day on worldly amusements. he referred to those who condemn innocent pleasures, and said, they turn the wine of life into water"
 The witticisms of Bisop. Winner pass current among all the people. He has the keen wit. that is always associated with a high order of intellect. He was talking one day with northern visitor to the South. It was very cold weather and the streams were frozen. The visit or spoke of politics and referred to. the solid south. The bishop replied: "The South is solid for the same reason that our streams are frozen-unfriendly breezes from the north" On one ocoa- sion he was walking in cemetery and saw a tombstone erected by a widowsr to his wife. On the stone was the in- scr1ption 'The light of my life has gone out" The wtdower soon after married, and the bishop remarked, "He has Struck another match" Being asked one Gay why the EpiscoplaMans didn't talk more about their religion like the Methodnts.
