mocLEIIAN 20 , cHInr JUSTICE.


 From the oneonta News-Dispatch (Biount
 County.
 Judge T. N Mcclellan of the supreme court of Alabama ought to be and will be overwhelmingly elected chief justice of that court. He is senior justice now. and &C., cording to well-established democratic precedent will be promoted to the chief justiceship. Besides, in our judgment, he is the ablest jurst on the supreme bench; in fact one of the ablest in the country. Furthermore, he is in thorough accord with the principles of the party declared in It's last national convention in Chicago. He does not merely reluctantly acquiesce in what the convention did and refuse to state whether he stands on the platform adopted by the convention or not, as his opponent does, but he thoroughly approves or the course of that convention and believes Tn the platform of principles adopted by 1t, and does not hesitate to say so. He Is also in thorough accord and sympathy with the state democratic administration; he Ia vored and worked for the nomination or Gov. Johnston in his race for the governor ship.
 In this district Judge Taly's judicial dis trict. some have very quietly talked it that Judge Tally and Judge Tally's friends would fight Judge Mcclellan. We know 1t to be a fact that such is not the case, Judge Tally himself disclaming any such purpose It has been said that some or Judge Coeman's friends have sought to use the decision of the supreme court rem dered by Justice Mcclellan In the Tally case against Judge Mcclellan in his race for the chief justiceshlp, but this paper thinks that there is very little of that be- ing done; that if any of it is, 1t is without the approval of Judge Coleman, who, at the time of said decision, was also associate justice of the supreme court and fully con- cured in said opinion and Is as much re- sponsible for it as Judge Mcclellan or Judge Coleman in regard to said decision, and it would be against the best interest of the people to oppose judge for the honest discharge of his oftentmes unpleasant duties.

IRONICAL IFS.

From the Chicago News
 If vessel is a boat blood-vessei must be & life-boat.
 If some people were to speak their minds it wouldn't take them very long.
 If you praise a man to his wife she will always look more or less surprised.
 If a boy is good and isn't paid for being so, then he Is good-for-nothing
 If you lend a man grass seed he'll como around later to borrow lawn mower.
 If a boy only lives up to his mothers es- timate of him he will become a great man.
 If a man never has any one to tell him what they would do If in his place that man is friendless.
 If our neighbors would only do as we think they should do 1t would be muck l, easier for us to love them.
 If the waiter spills soup down your pack kick him; he expects everything to come to him because he waits. fra man undertakes to tell you what love Is the chances are he Is in love himself, aud you can't believe him under oath.

The chief of police of Chicago speaks of members of the force who were convicted of blackmailng, holding up citizens on the street, highway robbery and murder. as having committed mere acts of indis- cretion. Over 60 per cent of the robberies that have been committed in Chicago with in the past eight months have been traced to the chief of police and his gang of cut threats, hoodlums, thieves and murderers. No wonder the Chicago people are in a state of terror and upon the verge of a riot against the infamous police force. Any policeman after dark, especially if he Is suspected of having any money on his person.

 ''In the great west especially is the op- position to the republican party growing The people refuse to be longer deluded with any false promises of bimetallism or high tariff The new tariff law, that seems unable even to bring prosperity to the home town of the framer of the law, for it is only few days since there was read in the house an account of the reductions of wages and strikes in Lewiston.

Un ited We Stand.

From the Oneonta Democrat.
 Twelve months ago there was a division in the democratic party, and it seemed that united democracy would never again be known in this country, but there has come about a change, and now all factions are clamorfng for harmony. But what has brought about this change? Have men changed their minds on the issue which caused this disvision? Most assuredly they have not. Then there must be a cause for this great outcry for harmony. There is only one solution: the old sne- my (the republican party) has presented itself and must be met and nothing but united democracy can stop the perni- cious legislation that is now being and has been enacted. United action Is what we need, and united action is what we must have.

It is sad commentary on the indus trial condition of affairs in New England when skilled operatives are refused work and forced to seek employment in Canada wages better than 1t is in the American mills.

It is to be hoped the proposed good roads convention to meet in Anniston this month will not waste all the time in talking, but get down to business and do something. Good roads throughout the entire state will do no end of good, and increase the value of farm lands far more than most people imagine. Good roads will mean a great saving to the farmers, who can draw their products to better markets and thus save what is often paid to railroads.

Montgomery Is Inaccessible.

From the Greensboro WatchInan.
 Birmingham is making a strong effort to get the next democratic state conven- ton to meet in that city, an effort that we hope will be successful. There are a good many people in this part of Alabama who would like to attend the convention if held in Birmingham, but who could not possibly spare a week off to make the trip to and from Montgomery. The capital is a very inaccessible place to the citizens of this part of the state.

Mill Construction in 1897.

The Textile World for January devotes considerable space to the subject of mill construction and expansion during the past year. It considers it's figures and facts as complete and accurate.
 Forty-nine cotton mills were put in op- eration in 1897, as against sixty-six in 1896. fifty-nine in 1895, and twenty-three in 1894. There were projected in 1897 fifteen cotton mills, as against forty-seven in 1896, and sixty-nine in 1885, And every one of the fifteen projected mills is to be To- cated in the south!

TIME TO ACT.

The astounding news flashed over the wires of the destruction of the battle ship Maine has set the nation slame. While it may be difficult to fix the cul- pability upon the Spanish government, nevertheless, the fact that the disaster occurred in Spanish port and that it was not an accident but accomplished by hostile agents, fastens the responsi- bility upon the Spanish government,
 If our dispatches are authentic, and we have no reason to believe otherwise. the people of Spain rejoice over the disaster and the populace, far more than crafty officials, represent the true sentiment of the Spanish nation.
 With our limited information of the untoward event, there would seem to be no question of Spain's responsibility,
 Foreign comments support the opin- ion, and there appears to be no reason why a declaration of war on the part of the United States would not be justified, but at the same time, humili- ating though it is, we are not hopeful that congress and the administration will take the proper stand, declare for intervention in the Cuban war and de- msnd retribution of Spain for the des- truction of the Maine and it's cargo of human lives. The United States needs s foreign war to awaken patriotism among her people and to establish the national sentiment. A declaration of war with Spain is to be welcomed.

The further you get from the people the less justice you find McCord owes his position to a power which is a stanger to Arizona, he in turn appoints ceatures of his own kind and the interests of the people become subser- vient to the greed of gang made more vicious by the knowledge that they are not of the people and that the people would put men of the people in their places, if possible. Now, if we can not get homo rule, it is the duty of our next legislature to take as much power out of the hands of the McCord gang as possible. The Board of Control should be abolished. The powers which govern the people should be brought as close to the people as possible.

 The De Lome incident has been given more prominence than it appears it is entitled to, and were it not for the strained relations between our country and Spain it would hardly have as sumed international importance. We agree with some of the foreign com mentators on the incident that Presi- dent Mckinley would have shown wis., dom by ignoring it and thereby have gained prestige for himself and his country. Had the coarse and treacher- ous language used by Senor De Loms occurred in official correspondence there could have been no question of the gravity of the offense, but em- bodied in private letter, and that let ter having been stolen by an unprin- cipled person deserving only of con tempt, relieves it to great extent of serious import. The knowledge of the insincerity of the Spanish government in its diplomatic dealings with the United States is not revelation, and it is safe to assume that strong senti- ment of mutual disesteem prevails be- tween the two governments. The in cident is welcomed by the large and influential portion of our people who have condemned the temporizing policy of our government on the Cuban question under Cleveland and McKin- ley, and who hope that it will arouse congress and the administration to the necessity of immediate intervention.
