FRIDAY. MARCH 2e, 1897
Has LOsT MS GRIP.

]. Edward Addicks is a man OF pre-
dictions and disappointments. He never
hesitates to make a positive declara-
tion as to the outcome Of a political
controversy, and he never fails to dis
cover that his judgment was in error
If all of his predictions of the past
eight years could be placed in paral-
lei column with his realizations, mis-
orabe discrepancy would be manifest
Just now he is making two very inn
portant predictions. One is that II. II.
Ward Is to be the next Federal judge
for the District of Delaware, and the
other is that Senator Kenney is to be
unseated for his benefit. Neither will
be realized The regular Republicans
will get the cream OF the Federal pa
tronage coming to Delaware, and the
Senate of the United States will never
unseat Mr. Kenney to make room for
man who has resorted to such shame
ful methods to secure one OF the most
honorable offices in the gift of the peo-
pie.
AS proof Of our assertion that the
regular Republicans will control the
Federal patronage, we have only to
consider the events of the opening days
of the Mckinley administration. Every
weigher of mails appointed was a reg
ular Republican or Massey man. Not
one Of the followers of the gas man Sc
cured place in the service
Now we have the probability
OF the appointment Of Frederick
E. Bach to a position. If there was
ever a man who was antagonistic to
Addicks, Bach was that man. He did
more to defeat the pretensions of the
gas man two and four years ago than
any other single man in the State. Net
only that, but It was the brain and in
dustry of Bach which led to the hold
ing together of the regular Republi-
cans during the bitter fight of last
Fail, when Addicks would have won,
but for the steadfastness with which
the regular Republicans adhered tothe
principle that there was nothing about
Addicks hut his money to recommend
him to the Republicans of the state.
But more bitter than this selection
. is the announcement that Presi-
dent Mckinley viii likely appoint
Edward G. Bradford to the vacant
judgeship. Mr.. Bradford was the man
who would not speak to Mr.. Addicks,
let alone enter into any deal with him
and his friends. lie despises Addicks
and Addicksism, and the gas man and
his followers know It. His appoint
ment would be wormwood and gall to
them. They would consider it direct
slap in the face, and for that reason
they are using every endeavor to de-
feat him. But President Mckinley
cannot be fooled by them. He knows
that Mr.. Bradford is not only fitted for
the position, but also that he is clean
and honest in every respect. That is
the sort of man he wants for the
place. It is not his desire to name any
man who can be claimed by any other
man as being his judge.
The troubles of j. Edward Addick.
and his followers are just beginning
They may get a few crumbs from tn,
administration table. but they will b,
very few, and by the time that the mex
election rolls around the men who ar,
allied with Addicks for what there il
in it, will discover that if they wan
anything they must go to the Higgin
camp to get it. for the gas man has los
his grip upon the administration.

HER LOVE THE GU1D.

For several years past an ardent court ship and mutual affection fiourished be- tween two rather young persons clerking in the same establishment in this city. The lady, who has the soft eyes of the dove and pretty brown tresses, is some years the junior of the gentleman, and fully reciprocated his oft-expressed love. But the latters parents, learned in the tenets of the Jewish faith would not tian birth and faith. But no objections could sever the bond, and so the old story was duplicated by Cupid in the precinct of Justice Benjamin H. Screws cour- few weeks ago, after which the simple announcement was made that Miss Willie Dinkins and MT. Arthur Heilpern were man and wife.
 Since that time the bride, a most sem sible girl, reasoned that while there was a disparagement in the ages of her aid her husband, it did not follow that there should also be a disparagemen- in the form of their religion. And so. of her own free will and for ths sake. of her great affection she had herself prepared to embrace the religion of her husband. When Rabbi Brown. D. D., of Colum- bus, Ga, visited Montgomery two months ago he was consulted, and, bsing given the necessary preliminary instructions, called on the couple in the company of the orthodox Jewish father of he groom, at the latters residence in Columbus, wh re the young bride passed a CT ditable religious examination, and as result was duly admitted into the fold of Ju- daism. The couple have returned to the city, and all is we'll.
 The young lady was formerly an a:- tendant at the McDonough Street Meth odist church.-Anniston Hot Blast.

NO KICKING OUT Or TRACES.


 Speaking of affecting unity among democrats and bolters by eliminating na- tional issues from the democratic plat form, the Anniston Hot Blast says:
 eve are confiden that these men can be kept together in the state election next year on a platform dealing only with state issues.'
 IF these men can be kept together only in state matters, they have no business in the democratic party. We are unalter- ably opposed to state democracy only. If a man is not of thar democratic stripe to stand square to the rack on national af- fairs. we don't want to take political sac- rs snent with him around the home table. The State Herald is not opposed 10 keep ing the fences down to every voter, ire spective of party, who may wish to join the demoeratic party, and if sufficient number come in to adopt gold standard plank in the state platform by ajor- ity vote in the primary, we will accept the medicine and will not make a wry face when swallowing it. And if the other fellow is not willing to do the same thing, we are opposed to allowing him to come into the pool.
 The Hot Blast sounded the real dem ocratic toesin a few days ago when 1t said the test of democracy is 70 abide the result c6 the party primaries. If the ma- jority says eliminate national pol itics, we will yield without a murmur; and if they say thsre shall not be any elimination, then we want no kicking out of the traces.

BlMBrAI.LISM ADVANCING.

While the State Herald takes but lit- tie interest in the efforts now being made 10 obtain an international agreement on the coinage question, the following from the Pittsburg Dispatch shows very clear ly other countries than America are feel ing keenly ths effort of the gold stand ard evidenced by the manner in which the American bimetallic commission is being received and entertained:
 News from Europe concerning the work of the bimetallic commission sent by the United States is very gratifying That the commissioners have been well received in France is made plain by the banquet given them last night by the minister of foreign affairs, though friend ly sentiment was expected there from the reports made by Senator Wolcctt when he returned from his personal in- vestigation.
 "The surprising informa ton is that published by the National Review of Lon don. That journal speaks as if i, had the highest authority for it's statements, and if it shall prove that it has. the mis- sion of th= bimetalic delegates may be accomplished. The proposal of England is to reopen -he min,s of India to silver coinage and to enlarge the use of the white metal in Great Brit ain, a proposi- ton as liberal as could be expected from that sourcs. The hope will be ea.nestIy entertained in thsi country that this re- port is true and that the commission may succeed in the largest measure.
 'SorIe trouble may be expected in Ger many. since tn. emperor has conceived q the fancy that Uncle Sam may want 10 interfere in European affairs. But the influence of the kaiser in ordering the financial system of his empire has never

Another Accident On the United States Works On the Coosa River, and Sev-
 eral Parties More Or Less Injured.

Lincoln, Ala. July 1--tSpecial Corre- spondenee. .)-Thrre was another accident at the United States works at Lock Four on the Coosa river yesterday evening. Early in the eay the large steam pump had been put in operation to aanpty the lock pit prepara. ory to employing large force of hands on the pit today. Just as the pump had finished it's work one of the large pipes broke at the elbow with in few inch;s of the boiler knocking MT. sam Malone into the empty pit and burning his arm. The pipe broke again where Francis Beau's crew of men were at work. in the ampede that followed several of the crew came oud with spraiped ankles and bruised arms. But no one was seriously hurt, and the dam age will be repaired today, and about 150 or 200 men will be put to regular work by the clcse of the week.

MT. H. C. Middle ton is in the city to see about Birming- hams entrance into the circuit. He said yesterday to a Stase Herald reporter:
 "Of course, we have no doubt of Bir- mtnghams entrance into the circuit. A fact that seems very propitious is that you have an auditorium such as few cities have in the south. JAS to fhe mat ter of organizing lyceum in Birmirg- ham, 1t is simply question of getting enough people to act together. If you can get $50 people to join the "Birming- ham Lyceum" at $5 each 6giving two an- nual admission tickets to each member) you can have ten great lyceum entertain ments this winter a cost of only 9 cents admission to members to hear such men as George kennon, Thomas Dixon, Gen. Gordon, Henry Watterson, Hop kinson Smith, Bob Burdette, Senator J. J. 1ngalls, e.c. If you could get 400 to join comparatively together, you could have twelve numbers, making the cost only 20.S cents admission, to the members.
 'iIf you could get 800 at s5 you could give fifteen great lectures at a cost of 16 2-3 cents. I find that a good many of your people are anxious <hat the project shall be undertaken"
 Mir. Middleton is stopping at the Flor ence and will be here several days to see those who may be interested.

This would mean an audience of 2,000. In Augusta they have 800 at s each, and can take no more for lack of seating accommodations. It is thought that Atlanta will have 1,000 at $5 in two years. In view of your audi orium 1t might be possible for you to get 1000 at $350, The entire question, however, is left with the people of Birmingham

A Movement On Foot to Include Birming- ham In the Circuit-How It Works
 In Other Citiss Where In Vogue.

A movement is on foot to get up in Bir- mingham one of :he biggest lyceum lee ture courses in the south as d permanent institution in the city. There are now nine in the south. Four years ago there was not one. If started in Birmlrgha m it will be a cooperative institu ion, and will bring to the city some of the most distinguished men of the time annually at a nominal cost. In the course of time probably only about 10 cents admission to hear a course of from Len to tWeI,ty men every year like Gov. Taylor Gen Gordon, Henry Watterson, Lyman Ab- bolt.

SEEKING COMFORT.

The Advertiser tries to get little com fort out of an article which attempts to show that Bryan bolted the democratic ticket in '92 It will be remembered that the Advertiser tried to run similar lot of articles during the campaign last year, but the business was not profitable Af- ter few vain endeavors the matter was dropped as being entirely too trouble some to be handled by an old lady. At this late day the similar articles are repro duced, propably for effect-or probab bly because they were short of copy. No one notices the charge particularly, however. It has been explained so plainly that TO one can fail to understand. Nothing but a Palmer and Buclner paper would get muddled on such a simple matter.-Cane- brake Herald
