PARDoN1NG CONNECTS.


 Is it right? Is it humane?
 Look on this then on that side of the question
 A beard of physicians, composed of Drs. Sanders Blake and Hill, has lately been appointed by the governor to ex- anime into the physical condition of the conVicts, and to recommend for pardon these who would in all probability die from longer confinement in the psniten- tiary This board has reeommend5d q number who have received executive clemeney. The question arises. Is the practice of pardoning this class of con Vlcts in accordance with the dictates of humanity and god policy? Gov. o'Neal inaugurated this practice He had the courage of lion. but the heart of a woman. and he could not bear to have a convict finger in sickness and die inside the penitsntiary, away from home and friends and he pardoned many upon the recommendation If the convict physician. Gov. Seay took the position, when man was convicted and sentenced for crime he forfeited his right to die at home and that the state of the conxfct's health alone was not good ground for his pardon Gov. Jones thought differently from Gov. Seay and pardoned a great many on account of their health. And now Gov Johnston is following in the Footsteps of Govs. O'Nsal and Jones. We do not propose to crticise the official ac- 6 they were actuated by the loftiest mo- tives. but we, would be glad to shave an exprs ssion of opinion on this subject from the public. Tssthe pfactice humane? The, great bulk of our convicts are negro es. who have no means of support, but their daily labor, and if unable to work are thrown upon the cold charity Of the world They are nomadic in their ha bits and dispositions, and as a general rule have no fixed homes. The result If lafc Of the penitentiary, in feeble health. nine out of ten have no home to go to, no friends tc take care of them. no medical attention and no means of making sup port: They are sent to thspoor houses and become burden n the county or lin- ger out miserable existence without a slngle comfort to cheer them in their last moments, and when they die, are buried in pauper's graves.
 This is not bright picture, but is true in the case of a great many convicts who through mistaken motives of huma nity are pardoned solely because they will die in the penitentiary. Now, if left in the penitentiary to die, what is their con- dition? They have comfortable hospit- ais. nurses to wait cn them, the very best medical attention nutritious food, in fact they are cared for at walls and mines as well as they would be in the best regu- lated hospitals in the country. These are the two sides of the pieture-which will you choose?
 Again is it good policy to pardon a convict solely upon the ground of bad health? Is there not danger if this plan should be adopted, that men in bad health can and will commit crimes. un- der the idea, if convicted, the only thing 10 be done to be pardoned is to get the certificate of the convict physician, or of a board appointed by the governor? Was not Gov. Seay right from the stand point of humanity and good policy that one convicted of crime forfeited his right to die at home? CITIZEN.

A REArTIFITL HOME.

A Times man while at Montevallo on Wednesday, ard having four hours of idle time, was invited to the hospitabie mansion of eX-Congressman AldIseh.
 After a thue mile drive through that beautiful and picturesque country, we arrived in the mining town of .Aldaieh, known far and wide throughout the un- ion CT the splendid coal which is secret underneath in lths bowels of the earth.
 MT Aldrichs residence can easily be csIled the handscmest in Alabama. Sif- uated on top of a high hill, and surround ed by magnificent flower gardens, with here and there q fountain gushing forth sivery strsans, a visitor is forcibly rs- minded of the hcnes of the English 'oy- atty in the mountains of old Scotland.

 We found him busily engaged in get ting up the briefs for his contest, which, he expects, will come up in December. After pleasant chat with him and Maj. Tom Theodore Partlow. we were invited to partake of dinner and Mrs. Aldrch. the accomplished hostess, made us feel at home.

AMERICAN IRON PROGRESS.

The Bessemer Weekly of Saturday n- tains the following interesting editorial on the return of President Harrison, of the Howard H ar1ison Iron Co. of that city, from a aprotracted visit t ur0ps:
 President .John w. Harrison, of the Howard-HaqTison Iron Co, spent the month of May over the waters and toolS occasion while there of visiting several of the big: pipe plants of Great Britain and of looking irto trade conditions there.
 MT. HaiTison's experience was very ratifyng to him. He was kindly re- ceived and shown unreservedly the wca'k-
 ngs of the plants. He returns thorough h. ly imbued with confidence in his ability to prohtably compete with any pant any where in the manufacture of iron piping and with the highest admiration or busi- ness methods as carried on in the busl- ress circles visited and surprise at the prosperous conditions prevailing there, especially as contrasted with the dead dull times existing here.
 MT. Harrison reports the minimum price for iron pipe there at | . plant $i750 per ton. He would probably be glad to get six doll less than that here and would possibly like to supply all Europe at that price. The standard length Cf sections of pipe in Europe is rine feet. Much shorter than here. Mr. Harrison is considering the project of building six additional pits for the efS- pecIa} purpose of ma hufactur pipa for export. complying with the specifica tle ms required in European and other marke s.
 To do this will necessitste an expense of some S200000 ard besides n inc~e ~esse of working capital of several hundr q thousand dollars but he is confident fhe results would justify the inves tment The matter is under serious considsration bY the lsading stock holders of the coun7ny.

 It was stated also that France was ready to cooperate with the United States and Great Britain in again reach- ing an agreement on bimetallism. The British representatives present made no statement regarding their intentions in the matter

 At 4:30 Prof. Louis Favour Chicago's renowned electrician, made his S cond ap- pearance. On Thursday evening Prof. Favour deaDt with electricity as produced by friction; on Friday af .ernoon he used current electricity, or that produced by chemical action. Prof. Favour is nothing if not thorough, and in order that his hearers might more clearly understand his explanations, he tried few chemical experiments, showing .he affinity of one element for another. The manufacture of drops of water from oxygen and hy- drogen gas was interesting in the ex- treme. Prof Favour ma nufactured some of the new gas, so interesting to chemists, which was accidentally discovered by MT. Wilson two years ago, called acetylene gas, and showed the brea.hless speota- tors what exquisitely beautiful lights the peopfs of the future will have through it's agency. After this he took up the sub ject of electricity proper. He ran a sew ing machine, Sent telegraph message beat drum. rang bells, etc. but the most interesting of all were his performances

About half the audience raised .heir hands and ap- plauded. Later on Gov. Evans called for a raising of hands of all who raised short staple cotton, and only three or four raised their hands, much to ehe amaze mens of all
 Senator McIaurin said that Egyptian cotton had almost dTivn out Peedee and Allan coitons. He favored the Latimer dispensary but because he thought the slate and not the nation should dispose of the liquor question of South Carolina. E Gov. Evans said if Senator McLaurins tariff views prevailed, it would make pos sibel 40 per cant. tax on. farmers who used manufactured goods.
 Ex-Senator Irby denounced all alleged political plots to elect McLaurin and said that the newspapers were not giving the people what they wanted. H'a said Gen. Butler had told him that McLaurin had said that Tillnran told him (McLaurin) that he was going to break his political neck.

PHIL DOWN THE FLAG.

The following from the Montgomery Journal of Sunday should be given space in every democratic newspaper in Ala bama. It Hecees the wolf of its imposter garment, and shows him in his true, lean and lsnk form. Pull down the flag which rssts in the would-be goddess of liberty's hands and let the picture stand as it is painted day by day:
 There was a time when Capt Kolb was a power ins this state and had a fol- lowing second to no man in public life. But that was. when Capt Kolb claimed to be a democrat, better democrat than Gov. Jones. When he was forced against his will. against his better judgment to throw eff the cloak of democracy and don that of populism, he lost his influ ence and was no lcnger an instrument for harm to the democratic party. Capt. Kolb saw his mistake, and he has re- turned to the party which he has always desired to claim allegiance.
 "The Journal has no unkind criticism of Capt. Kolb's conduct. He was driven out of9the party by the abuse and intol- erance of the Montgomery morning pa per, which has always been governed and controlled by selfishness, and an overwhelming desire to be regarded as a political "boss' in this stat That paper has since shown it's eleven foot it's insncerity its hypocrisy and its un- worthiness of democratic confidence and respect. But let that pass What the Journal intended to say. was that so long as the opposition to democracy in this state posed as democrats, they were a menace to the party; but when they threw off this cloak of hypocrisy and came out in their true colors. they were at once stripped of all power for harm. There is a lesson in this for the democ- racy. So long as the Montgomery morn- ing paper is permitted to pose as a. dem ocratic newspaper and fight democratic leaders and democratic policies, so long will it be in position to do harm to the party. Let it be stripped of its power for harm. It is within the power of the state committee to pull from off it it's cloak of deceit and hypocrisy. It has already declared 1t would not be caught in any free silver trap" In plain words unless the state committee decides to cowardly run from it's national platform and dodge the issue of free silver in the state campaign it will not go into the democratic primaries. This would place it where it properly belongs. along with Baltzell's Alabama Monitor and Bob Moseley's Birmingham Times. in the ranks of the rankest opposition.
 "The duty of the state committee. when it meets, is made plain"

NO USE TO RUN. DOCTOR.

It is reported that Dr. Mosely will be the republican candidate for governor next year. The doctors friends are tickled with the idea and do not hesitate to suggest it as a possibility. The doc tor thinks the gold democrats, and the regular democrats, that is, the organized democrats will each have a candidate and he does not see why he can't come in. We can tell the doctor that the nominees of the next democratic convention will be final What it says goes. Its nom- inees will be elected. He need not dis turb himself nor need any other person disturb himself about the result. If Capt. Johnston is named he will succeed himself.-Eufaul Times.

NO FAIrIIT. o.F NArIIRE.

It seemed several years ago that na- ture had done all in her power for she Birmingham district, but only the half seems to have been told. for they have now discovered a practically inexhaus's- ible lead of magnificent brown ore, which, when developed it is claimed. will re- duce the cost of making iron by at least p cents per ton. The lead was discovered on the prep lty of the Sloss Iron and Steel company and runs into the prop erty of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and RailIcad company. Ii is estimated that the value of this field to the two com panies is fully worth $50, ,000. 900.

The confederate veterans of Clay, Coosa and alladega counties have had a re- union of their forces. It was memora- ble occa sion; one Ithat will never be held ip the hills of Clay any more, and while pleasures intermingled with the reunion, there was sad reflection connected with the gathering. Though the writer never marched on the batltlefields in 1860, we we're fully impressed with the meaning of the sad countenance of the remain
