Democrats Absorbing the Populists.

A dispatch from Birmingham,
Ala, Feb. goth says:
It is not improbable that the
Populist. party will soon be wiped
out as a political factor in Alabama.
The State Democratic Committee,
at it's meeting at Montgomery last
Tuesday, invited all who would
support the Democratic nominees,
regardless of past party affiliations.
to participate in the Democratic
primaries. thus opening the door to
the Popalists. In this, the largest
county in the State, 40 leading Pop
ulists held conference and APP
pointed committee TO wait on the
Democratic County Committee and
ascertain if their return to the
Dem ocracy will be acceptable. The
of the Popuiists was
greeted with cheers by the Demo-
cratic committeeman, who assured
them that they would be gladly
received into the Democratic fold.
AS result, Populist mass con.
vention has been called, to meet
here March 5, when $500 Populists
will, according to the present indi-
cations, accept the Democratic in
vitation. This is, says a leading
Populist, the beginning of move
ment which will extend all over the
State and which will practically |
result in the absorption of the Pop
alist party by the Democrats within
4 short time.
The fact that both parties agree
On the main question, the money |

Solomon's Temple.

A noted statistician and investi.
gator who has lots of time for such
work has been doing some figuring
on the cost Of the Temple of Solo

these days of palmy extravaganza
and millionaire display, have an
adequate impression of the enor.

According to Villaipandua, the

were equal to the enormous sum of
6,879, S22,OOO pounds sterling. The
worth of the jewels is placed at a
figure equally as high. The vessels
of gold, according to Josephus,
were valued at 10000 talents,
which, reduced to English money,
was equal to 575,296,2O3 pounds.
The vessels Of silver, according to
the same authority, were still m ore

The Democratic party is fast alb
sorbing the Populists. The silver
issue was the rock on which the
Democrats split on the last national
campaign and caused 80 many to
desert the ranks and go into the
Populist camp. Now that the
Democratic party has so completely
restored the old landmarks on the
money question. its ranks are being
daily recruited from the Populist
party. In Alabama alone, nearly
5000 Populists will 60 back into
their old party ranks.

War Spirit Aroused.

The destruction of the American
battleship Maine in Cuban waters
has aroused the War spirit in our
country. Conservative people, how.
ever, are awaiting the result of the
investigation now being made to
ascertain the cause of the Maine
catastrophe before expressing an
opinion as to whether the United
States should declare war against
Spain,
1t is quite possible that the at
tack upon the Maine was inspired
by Spanish hate of the United
States, but one cannot conceive of
such depth of folly as would be
disclosed by proof that the Spanish
Government had knowledge of it.
There are doubtless men in Havana
who believe that blow could be
struck at a great nation in this
treacherous way but the Spanish
Minister is not one of them. Neither
is the present Governor. General Of
Cubs. That some disappointed pa
triots of the Weyler. type have inn
agined that the restoration of their
hero to power might be ACCOM-
plished by blowing up an American
warship, that was in sense under
the protection Of Governor General
blance, IL quite probable. If it is
proved, however, that the Spanish
Government was implicated in the
plot to blow up the Maine, war will
surely be declared and the indie
pendence of Cuba will be one of
lne hrstresults Of the conflict,

A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y,
Feb. Goth says:
Frederick B. Paige of Buffalo,
was : seaman on the battleship
Maine. To-day word was received
by his relatives here that his body
had been recovered. Your cores
pondent saw letter tonight which
was written by Paige early in Feb
ruary and addressed to his brother
in.law, A. r. Broadben of this city.
"When we came into Havana
Harbor," writes Paige, "our decks
were cleared and our guns were
loaded for action. The guns are
loaded still and could be used in a
moment. Nobody is allowed to
leave the ship or to come aboard.
So you can see how we stand with
the Spaniards down here. We know
that we are in a dangerous place,
for this harbor is reported to be full
Of torpedoes and mines. If we
struck Que of them we would sink.
The old hands say they would no..
trust the Spaniards, and | think
Captain Sigsbee knows the danger
we are in. We came to protect
American citizens and General Lee.
We are in danger ourselves, but we
will stay here and look ont for those
ashore who may be in danger any
minute. We can see the Spaniards
and Cubans fighting in the fields,
and | expect that we may stay here
some time on account Of the war.
Each of Us is armed with a Coll's
revolver and sword.

There has been much criticism of
Mrs. Jefferson Dayis in the South,
because she has selected New York
city as her home, now she has been
forced to explain that she has TO
earn her living; that her pen is her
only resource; that New York sup
plies the best market for her literary
productions. Mrs. Davis says that
the old homestead, the plantation
in Mississippi, because of foods
and the low price of cotton is no
longer profitable, but in New York
she and her daughter are able to
earn about $1,000 year from their
literary work. The people of the
land of Dixie. who still hold the
name of Jefferson Davis in rever-
ence, should raise q fund for the
widow of their illustrious leader.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
should see to it that Mrs. Davis ia
furnished sufficient means to enable
her to spend her declining days in
the sunny south where is centered

her life,

ceal their thoughts, De LONE was
