1 The celebration of Louisiana Day at the l Tennesse Centennial was pronounced sue cess, notwithstanding it occurred during
 the warmest, most facilitating season of
 the year. Great crowds of Louisinanians
 passed through Birmingham en route to Nashville. all actuated by a patriotic de- sire to have their state appear to an ad-
 vantage at the Southern Exposition This
 brings to mind the nearness of Alabama
 Day and the necessity for the people of
 the state official and otherwise, to begin
 to make preparations for the appropriate observance of the occasion. The military of Alabama compares favorably with that of any other state, and the several regi- rnents and batallions would make splen- did display at the Centennial. Deferring Alabama Day until late in September gives 1 an opportunity to all classes of citizens to be present at Nashville The planters will have gathered the heaviest part of their crops. and have sold enough cotton, corn or wheat to pay their debts and make them comfortable the balance of the winter. Mer- chants will have returned from the east ern markets, and professional men will find 1t convenient to spare a few days from their offices. It behooves Alabamians to begin to agtate the making of Alabama Day the most successful special celebration | yet held at the Centennial It would be well, if every one contemplating visiting l the Nashville Fair would defer it until the
 day set apart for the glorification of Ala l bama.
 The assassination of Senor Canoyas, | prime minister of Spain, by the Italian an | archist Michele Angene Golli, will accom- l plish nothing more for the political agita- l tors of Europe than have those similar | tragedies which have stained with blood many of the foreign courts.
 | The killing of Spencer Perceval, the Brit ish premier, in 1872 by Bellingham; the mur- der of Marshall Prim. in 1870; the stabbing l of Carnot, in 1894, and the death of Alex ander IL, in 1884, from the explosion of a bomb thrown by anarchistic hands, have been futile in accomplishing anything for | the party guilty of the bloody deeds. What ever cause was espoused by the assassina- tors has received the contempt of the world, because of the despicable means adopted | to advance it's theories
 NA coin and Garfield differ from those of Flu ropean rulers and politicians, in as much as the men who were guilty of the deaths of these notable men were cratic, incapa- ble of proper reasoning, and represented neither party or section. The south never received heavier blow than came from the act of John Wilkes Booth. Guiteau brought upon hmiself the generation of | mankind, and made martyr of the man he murdered. The bitterness of Senor Cam ovas towards Cuba will now be condoned by world aroused by the dastardly act of | Golli-nothing can be gained for Cuban patriots from the bullet of an Italian an- archist.
 The cause of freedom can never be ad- vanced by murder, or assassination. L
 
 Emperor William. of Germany, who de- ing kingdoms, now being the guest of his relative, the young Czar of all the Rus sas, and, in consequence the dowager empress of Russia has left her home until | his visit is over. The dowager empress | is sister of the king of Greece and the Princess of Wales, all of whom are chil- | dren of the king and Queen of Denmark. | The house of Denmark is especially antag | onistic to the German kaiser, and the dow | ager empress has thus given expression to | the dislike of him by leaving home until | the kaiser has completed his visit to the | cZar. The German emperor is very unpop | ular in many of the Kingdoms of Europe, | and in the lower German states he is very | heartily detested by his subjects. He is con- | stantly becoming more and more peculiar | and cratic. and it is predicted by the best medical authorities that insanity will over-
