NEW BOOKS.

|
courtesy of the gifted author, Lillian
Whiting, two of her new books-''Af-
ter Her Death and a volume OF
poems, ''From Dreamland Sent.' She
is best known in Kinsley as the auth
or of World Beautiful which is a
household book here. CATER Her
Death" is a study in psychical and
spiritual experiences since the death
of Miss Whiting most intimate friend
our beloved Kate Field. This suject,
the life after death, is of such great
interest to each and every one of US:
one feels like saying ''the life after
t spiritual birth when one has read the
book: for maternal duties have been
finished and the real soul life begins.
The author has given the subject great
study from a transcendental point of
view. She has also brought to her
work thorough knowledge of all the
light that psychical science has thrown
upon it during the past few years.
There is no attempt to shroud the mat
ter in mysticism: on the other hand
we are made to realize that there are
no barriers to constant sympathy and
communi on in spirit. at least, with the
loved ones who have gone before US
into the "M Orning Land" except those
created by living impure or selfish
lives. We feel that the veil between
the other world and our earth life is
SO very thin. We cannot close this
resume without quoting from after
Her Death:
''There is perhaps no power that Or
ganized.religion could bring to bear on
general life which would be so all-com-
pelling in its results, as to impress the
reality of communion between the Wis
able and invisible. In the light OF
that realization, every noble aspira-
tion is intensified: every ignoble one
revealed in its paltriness and mean
ness, The life that is possible in its
resplendence, it's exaltation, it's lovli-
ness and its charm is seen in vivid
contrast with mere existence of wor-
ry, care and strife. 1t is not so much
that if one lives nobly he shall go to
beautiful conditions at death: it is that
he shall have the beautiful conditions
here now, not in some far off, vague
eternity
From Dreamland Sent is charm
ing volume of verse. The book itself
is a feast to ones aesthetic sense. with
it's dainty cover of gray and gilt in
Two tones. There is much in it along
the same line of spiritual thought that
is so helpful in her books; its trans
cenden5alism is clothed in poetic garh.
her work in knowing that she is
a poetess, for it seems as if all hcr
books are "prose poems" We select
for our readers this waif from the
dainty book:
Across the world I speak to thee,
Whether in yonder star thou be,
A spirit loosed in purple air;
Whether beneath the tropic tree
The cooling night wind fans thy hair:
Whether in yonder star thou be,
Across the world l speak to thee"
Miss Whiting has also written a
second series of the wv orld Beauti-
ful' which we hope to review for our
readers at an early date.

Charley Alexander would like to
know if he is justice of the peace or
not: if not, why not? The fact is that
as the matter stood at the time of the
recent unpleasant experience, there
was no vacancy, as Mr.. Fishers resig-
nation had not been accepted. But
again, the law provides that Justices
shall be elected on alternate years,
and we have been electing them both
on the same year. So we will have to
leave the question to the legal frater-
nity to find the way out.

A MANS JUDGMENT.

Voltaire said that men had no ideas un-
til they had boards. and women had
neither. Yet Voltaire wrote his finest
drama in youth. and Bryant wrote
"Thana topsis'' when IS. Young men have
often achieved distinction. but it is in the
domain of the emotions or passions.
Youth is emotional passionate. A youth
may write a poem, but be incapable of
conducting a great enterprise. A mans
mind does not mature until long after
his body. A correct conception of the
proper relation of things, and the abil-
ity to correlate ideas comes only with
mature years. A mans judgment, in
which a mans experience plays a promi-
nent part, is of no value under 40. The
law of the land takes cognizance of the
failing of youth, and will not allow a
man to vote until he reaches 81 years.
The law debars him from the state and
national legislatures until he has reached
a certain age. Each of Alabama's sena-
tors is in the neighborhood of 70 years.
The most prominent railroad magnates,
bankers. iron and steel kings. merchant
princes, etc.. have passed the meridian of
life. So have the great editors of the
land. Then look at Frank Glass, Will
Jelks and the editor of the Sulligent
Lightning-all in the last stages of senil-
ity. If they deny that they are old, then
they must admit that they are not great.
Which do you prefer, gentlemen?

ALL PASSED OVER.

While looking over some private papers
of our late father William Mccormack,
we came across list of signers to a john
ston club, organized in this place last
June. On the first page, which contained
not more than forty signatures, and
which was headed by our own beloved
father. were names of seven enthusiastic
supporters of Capt. Johnston scarce eight
months ago, but all of whom have passed

The aggregate amount so far gone is
upwards of 100000 bushels. but owing to
the price being as low as cents per
bushel in Cincinnati, and correspondingly
low in Louisville, New Orleans and Mem
pills. perhaps not much more will go for
ward upon this rise of water. The Coal
City, Smoky City. Boaz. Joseph B. Will
liams, Tom Reese and w. w. O'Neill will
add on extra barges at Louisville to their
present loads, and continue on through
to New Orleans. Had the rivers been low
and closed as during the fan and winter
of 1856 to navigation, it is safe to esti-
mate that there would have been 5000 to
5000 miners and their families in the
Monongahela river section. where this
coal was mined, who would have to de-
pend on charity entirely this winter for
their support
Much suffering and restitution has
been felt there and in other portions of
Pennsylvania this fall and winter and the
State Herald gives these points that our
miners, operators and all citizens will see
that really they have been more highly
favored than have the miners, operators,
ETC., of Western Pennsylvania. Should
the other 100000 bushels now in barges
at Pittsburg be shipped out on the pres
ent flood, it would seem that the entire
bottom would be knocked out of the mar

HTS Mr. CROOK.

Mr.. Jas. Crook. of Jacksonville, Cal
houn county, was yesterday appointed
president of the Alabama Railroad COM
mission. Mr. Crook having formerly
held position on the board. it is unnec-
essary to say more than that he ought
to Know his duties. and of course. will
perform them. Mr.. Crook is not what
you would call an astute politician. but is
an all-round good citizen and would fill
almost any office with credit and ability
The governor could have made an ap-
pointment that might possibly have been
more acceptable from a political point
of view, but Gov. Johnston has stood
to his first proclaimed policy to do what
his judgment told him was right and
best and take chances on the result In
this addition. however, the State Herald
looks upon the appointment with fear
and trembling.

THE WORK OF OUR OWN PEOPLE


THE WORK OF OUR OWN PEOPLE.
The State Herald, a few days ago, ex-
posing the plans of the gold standard ad-
vocates to capture Alabama in the next
fight, said that their plans would avail
them nothing. as the silver forces of the
state were active and aggressive in-every
county, and in every voting place in Ala
bama.s
The Montgomery Advertiser, comment
ing on this editorial, says: so the Sill
yer league organiza ton is still active in
Alabama. The public will therefore,
take great many things they see go
ing on from time to time as the work of
that political order which doubtless does
much of the work.
The fight in Alabama, for the free COIN
age of gold and silver, as in the past, has
been carried on exclusively by her own
people, without any outside help or in
fiuence of any kind whatever. The great
many things" the Advertiser refers to as
going on from time to time" do not en-
anate from any other source than from
the people of Alabama themselves.
In September, 1895, the memorable con-
ference of representative democrats
democratic party should continue to
maintain the advocacy of the free coin
age of gold and silver independently at
16 to 1, selected John w. Tomlinson, of
this city, as committeeman for the state
under the plan of the Washington con-
ference, and also appointed a campaign
committee.
Among the many important matters
which were undertaken and accomplished
was the work done by Mr.. Tomlinson in
preparing a perfect list of reliable sill
yer workers at each voting place in the
state. These men, through this means,
have come to know each other.
The many things" therefore, which
the Advertiser refers to as going on
from time to time" are the doings of these
workers for free coinage, who are still
working, and will continue to do so until
the efforts of the silver forces of the ma
ton, as in the state, are crowned with
victory

Not so very long since the Birming-
ham iron makers clamored before con-
gress for free raw material, saying that
they needed free Cuban ores for steel
making They expected at that time to
make steel at once, and thought ii nee
essary to have the fine Cuban ores. In
fact. one of our iron masters went so
far as to invest in Cuban ore beds in ex-
pectancy of making steel. But now we
hear nothing said about free raw mate
rial, although we are about to engage in
making steel The fact is. it has been
demonstrated that steel can be made of
Red mountain ores. and we care moth
ing about Cuban ores. A ton Of steel
will be made in Birmingham for what the
freight would be ON a ton of ore from
Cuba. 1t does seem that Birmingham is
independent of raw material in other
countries, independent of adverse legis-
lation. independent of hard times, and,
in fact, independent OF the world. except
as it affords a market for our products.

. There is lady In Augusta who has
never been from under the old confeder-
ate flag. Her name is known, but by re-
quest it is withheld. Whether walking,
eating or sleeping, there is always a con-
federate flag over her head. While walk
ing on the streets there is always a flag
in her hat, and no matter how many hats
or bonnets she has. there is always to be
found a flag pinned on the inside of the
crown. On the headpost Of her bed is
securely fastened large flag Of the con.
she has never surrendered and never
