Politics should not enter into the selection of men whose duty 1t Is to finally de- termlne the rights and privileges of man to man and of man to the commonwealth.
 We care not whether any of the men are for or against the administration. All the Record wants to know Is who Is best quali- fled by nature and attainment to fill the high office of chief justice of Alabama
 A study of the opinions of recent years will demonstrate the ability and legal at tainments of the two candidates, Justice Mcclellan and Justice Coleman.
 Judged by this standard, and 1t Is the only proper one, we have no hesitancy in saying that the Record will support Justice Mcclellan. Judge Coleman is a good judge and fine man. So is Judge Mcclellan. Both are our friends.
 But careful study of their qualifications as expressed in their written opinions will reveal the fact that Judge Mcclellan Is better qualified by nature, inclination and legal attainments than any man now on the bench in Alabama or that has been on the bench since Stone and Somerville were there.
 From the Eufaula Sum
 The Hon. Thomas N Mcclellan, the senior associate justice of the supreme court is a candidate for chief justice of the supreme court of Alabama. It is conceded that the
  ablest lawyers of the state and that his election to that high office is not alone a recognition of his high abilities, and his distinguished services to the state in the past but that it would be in kespinS with the established precedent of this great and glorious state.
 From the Selma Telegram.
 Judge Thomas N. Mcclellan, one of the justices a man of great legal abiilty, Tn fact one that has already shown his ult1- mate position should be on the highest bench of the state is 8 candidate for chief justice, the place to be made vacant by Judge Br1cl1eN declining to run. He as a man of splendid physical proportions ana commanding presence. He has. it Is said. the personal support of every member or the bar except two.
 Judge Coleman, who by the way IS very well-to-do man, and who was appointed 10 the bench by Governor Seay, is "a candl- date He is man of ability and has a leaning towards the gold standard, in fact a very strong predeliotion for that system of finance.
 Judge Mcclellan is a free silver democrat who made an able attorney-general and has one strong point in his favor-seniority as to life on the bench while much the younger of the two. eet From the Huntsville Mercury:

The Campaign Opened.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The action of the state democratic execu- tive committee inaugurates the campaign of 1898. From now until the 20th of April, the day appointed for the assembling of the state convention, the canvass for state and county offices will be vigorously pressed.
 The principal interest in connection with state offices will be directed to the nomin- ation of chief justice and four associate justices of our supreme court. Judge Thomas N. Mcclellan, of Limestone county, and Judge J. w Coleman of Green county are the candidates for chief justice. Of course Madison county and all North Ala bama, and indeed all the state would gladly have returned Judge Robert c. Brickell to the position of chief justice had he desired a renomination. Judge Brickell, has for many years past with honor and credit, to his state and himself filled the exalted position of chief justice. It is truly ad- mitted by the lawyers of the state, that his clear, able and concise decisions, have shed lustre op the supreme court of our state, and given to our state reports a standing and authority abroad, not en- joyed by any other southern state. Sew eral months since Judge Brickell informed his friends, tht he would not ask for, nor did he desire a renomination. It is well understood that Judge Mcclellan would not have been a candidate for chief justice had Judge Brickell desired to hold over.
 Judge Mcclellan Is entitled to the high est commendation for the deserved consid- eration extended to Judge Brickell. Judge Mcclellan is now the senior associate jus tice on the supreme court, and properly stands in the line of promotion. He has made an enviable reputation as judge of marked ability. He was reared in the adjoining county of Limestone, and as our neighbor and as worthy, upright and able judge, he is entitled to our support and we think will certainly be cordially in- dorsed by the Madison county delegates in the state convention.
The age-herald., 1898-03-31

From the Blount County News-Dispatch. . Judge T. N. Mcclellan of the supreme court of Alabama ought to be and will be oyerwhe,mingly elected chief justice of that court. He is senior justice now. and ac- cording to a well-established democratic nrecedent will be promoted to the chief iustlceship. Besides, in our judgment, he is the ablest jurist on the supreme bench' in fact. one of the ablest in this country. Furthermore, he is in tnorough accord Win tba nrinclples 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 Of the course of that convention and believes in 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 fa- vored and worked for the nomination of Gov. Johnston in his race for the governor ship

starch, which is not known in Austria,
is made use of in this country. 1t is
admirably adapted to cake baking, as
it comes out beautifully white and

wheat flour, selling for about $3.50 per
100 pounds, whereas wheat -four costs
about five dollars. The process of man.
ufacturing this article is quite simple.
The potatoes are washed, put in rap
idly rotating machines set with teeth
and then crushed in such manner that
the starch is separated from the cells
which contain it. Water sweeps the
extricated starch into vessels, where it
settles on the bottom. Then it goes
through refining process and is final
ly dried in machine specially con-
structed for that purpose. What is left
OF the potatoes is fed to the cattle and

what they will, find that sleep refuses
to come to them and that they are
doomed to night of perpetual rolling
s.nd tossing? Yet, according to we'll
know NeM York physician, himself .
sufferer from insomnia for many
years, sleep can easily be summoned
by q means within reach of all. The
doctor has tried his method on his pa
tients and, simple as it is. has never
heard Of its failing. Those who find
themselves eluded by sleep will do well
to try it, and for their benefit it is here
given.
The method is essentially one of self.
asphyxiation; nevertheless, there is no
reason to fear, for there is no risk
Indeed, it is impossible to asphyxiate
ones self by this means. The first
thing you have to do is to take a long
and deep inspiration, 10 much air be

borne with comfort. This air is re
tanned until positive discomfort is felt
when it must be slowly exhaled. Re
peat this process two or three times
and the chances are you will forget al
else until you wake up from your sleeI
the next morning.
The explanation of this is simple
enough. Sleep is due to hyperaemia
of the brain. During sleep there is 8
flow of nutrition to the cerebrum; con
sequently an increase of blood to sup
ply its deficiencies. The semiasphyxi
alton brought about by holding tn.
breath keeps quantity of bloodin the
head, with consequent increased
cerebral circulation. That this is tn,
case can easily be proved by the in
creased throbbing and pulsating of tn.
arteries of the head.
