In one of the current magazines is an article written by the son of northern sea captain descriptive of the way the Screamer escaped from the Alabama. Mir. George de Whiting says the deserip- ton is substantially correct, and adds that only one other vessel escaped from the Alabama. namely, the Minnehaha of Boston. In beth instances, the wind fa- fored these sailing vessels. and the Yan- kee crews of both knew how to manage their ship The Alabama was built to run down anything afioat and used both sail and steam, and she made seventeen knots an hour She rarely failed to get away from a federal mar-of-war, or ovs r. haul a merchantmen. She sunk one man. of-war and captured eighty-five msr- chantmen. On one occasion Yankee captain flew the English ensign and d S. played bogus English papers. Admiral semmes went on board himself. the on y time he ever boarded a prize, and dlscoV- cred the deception. By The way, Liept. Kell is very sick at his home in Allan a,

IrTnPIAN DREAM.

Debssis a smart fellow, and he made a favorable impression in Birmingham, even upon those who disagree with him. He -proposes to start socialistic colony, which shah be refuge for the millionaire and the tramp, which will do away with strikes. where labor will be light, money abolished, awhere each will work for the other where the difference between the daughter of railroad president and a section hand. will be wiped out. MT. Debs proposes to pursue the same meth ods in organization that he used in organ izing the American Railway union. He will advocate the public ownership of industries, railroads, etc.
 All this is Utopian. for it does away with individual competition. Man is as lazy as he dares to be. He needs compe- tition and the hope of reward to spur him on. Jefferson laid great stress on indi- vidualsm. as opposed to paternalism. In Debs' socialistic community, where the woodcutter and the editor will be paid the same wages, the woodcutter will lose all ambition to become an editor. Men will devote themselves to housewifery in- stead of to the professions. for every housewife will draw a salary equal to the pr professional and business men. All hope of reward. which is one of the funda- mental principles taught in the Bible, will be blasted, and with 1t all incentive to endeaVor.

A NEW IDEA.

In this age of fast thinking it is not off, ten a totally new idea is advanced but the Southern Home. published at Liv- ingstone, has discovered the modus oper- andi fer not only killing out the silver craze in Alabama but at the same time restore party harmony There is no doubt but that the Home has stumbled upon some real and insurmpuntahle obstacles as he goes along which the opposition to Johnston,s reelection will find out to be true when they undertake to defeat him. The Home says;
 eve think it can be safely predicted that Gov Johnston will be renominated for a second term in spite of the opposi- tion that may be developed. The party precedent of two terms will almost cer- tainly pull him through second nom1na- tion It was said that Gov. Oates was ss- riously injured politically because he re- fused to lay claim to this precedent and save the party from the discord of the last race A fight against Johnston'for a. second term would be unsuccessful be- cause of the party precedent. and would again show up Alabama to the world as a, free silver state. No benefit is to be de- rived from such a showing. If tha- snv- ernor is nominated without opposition for the sake If party precedent 1t strikes a reasonable mind that such course will tend to party harmony and allow the free silver sentiment time to die out be- fore another race is made. But recent developments prove that we may expect a mother Johnston Clark campaign next year with some other gentleman in MT. Clark's place. Who tbe other gentleman is that purposes to thus cripple his fu- ture usefulness has not yet developed. very excellent and able gentleman made this mistake in our State some years sincesin the person of the late Hon. John M McKleroy. who opposed Gov. ONeal for a second term. In MT. NICK 'e- roy if completely retired from State poli- tics one ofsthe strongest and most capa- ble men the State has producedi The wisdom of the precedent is doubtful. but it is not likely to be discontinued at this lCx

ADOPTS A PREFIX.

When Reuben Kolk used to go around parading himself as a simon pure Jeffer- sonian democrat, running against the regular nominee of the democratic party Tom Jones met him with the declaration that he was a. democrat without pre- fixes or suffixes." Whereupon all the lit tie fellows tool1sup the cry: Tom Jones is democrat without prefixes or suf- fixes" Not unlike the genial Reuben, it has now become necessary for Tom to adopt a prefix. He now calls himself a national democrat Kolb has since become populist, leaving off for a while his pre- fix, but has taken it up again and is now free silver or Jeffersonian democrat. Verify the world do move.-Cherolee Sentinel

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bpttleor common glass with urine and let it.stand twenty-four hours; sed- iment or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back is also eon= vincing proof that the kidneys and bladr der are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys liver. bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects, inahtl- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following the use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being com pelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for Us wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

OUR NAVY As A PEAcE-MA KER


 Carl Schuiz cont nds that large navy is more apt to bring on war with a for eign country than prevent ft. Improve ments in warships are made so rapidly that a modern navy of today will be an- tiquated tomorrow. Hence i. is grea. tempeation to try one of these fighting machines before it goes out of date. MT. Schurz takes the position that we should have a smart httle navy for patrolling the seas, but that a large and expensive navy is provocative of war. He says the ieolated position of the United States is a protection against foreign aggression, and also that a European nation is afraid to engage in war with us for fear it's enemies will take advantage of the em- barrassment. He adds that our escape from foreign wars has been due to the lack of formidable navy. Both ex-Sec- retary Herbert and Mr. Theodore Roose- yelt held opposite views to those ex- pressed by MT Schurz. They say Chat our wars with England. France and the Barbary powers. would never have oc- cured had we been possessed of a power ful navy. They contend that a strong navy is peace-maker, and that in the interest of peace we should double the strength Of our navy.
