Our Presidents famous Secretary called
Gage, has been letting himself loose
again on the money problem. This time
in Cleveland, Ohio, before its Chamber OF
Commerce Mr.. Cages speeches OH
finance have a rythm of words about
them which reminds one of flowing
stream. The same pleasant murnur IS
heard, but no special meaning attaches to
it. He never attempts argument or states
facts. He makes quotations occasionally
to illustrate points he never raises. His
harangues are the most complete diar-
rhoea of words of any among the goldbug
orators,

The discussion ofthe "money question"
that is going on is bringing to light
great amout of ignorance on the part Of
our supposed ''great men," Ex-presiden'
Cleveland and ex-president Harrison are
Justly classed among the very wost in
formed men in the country on that
question. McKinley's recorded speeches
delivered years ago prove that he under
stands the subject very we'll and that his
present utterances are clearly dishonest
and his position is that of an apostate.

War With Spain.

That war with Spain still hangs
fire. Spain is good representa-
tive of the barking, snarling, ILL
tempered, vicious dog, that only
bites when he can slip up behind
his enemy. Spain has the will to
chew up the United States to satisfy
the naturally devilish, vindictive
spirit of that savage, barbarian
race, but she knows too well the
fearful result of Il war with the
United States. When Spain finds
the United States both prepared
and willing to administer the
mightiest thrasbing to her that
any upstart nation ever got, she is
not going to take such a beating for
the fun Of it.
Spain's favorite sport, a beastly
bull fight, shows too plainly what
kind of civilization the people
possess. They have not advanced
q single step toward a higher and
more humane civilization in four
hundred years. The history of
their savage brutalities in their
massacres of the Indians in Peru
and Mexico, is one of murder, rob-
berry and namcless horrors that no
other nation OF people on the face
of the earth, claiming to be civil
lied, Christian people could be
guilty of. The horrors they have
committed in Cuba, prove them to
be the same treacherous, savage,
unprincipled race they ever have
been.
The blowing up of the Maine is
in line with their whole history of
treachery and savage, cowardly,
blood thirsty nature. No one who
is familiar with the hi tory of the
Spaniard-a synonym for blood and
treachery-can doubt that it was Il
national crime.
But what are we to think of the
two administrations of Cleveland
and McKinley-of their vacillation,
the alliance with Spain to help the
bloody nation to make golgotha
of Cuba 1? For the American nation
to not only look on but assist, by
) both an active and negative posi-
ton, the Weyler horrors of stava-
ton? What silent influence could
have induced these two admins
!, trations to heap such disgrace on
) this nation as they have done ?
That secret influence was undoubt-
eddy the English Jew bond and gold
syndicate. They had risked their
; money in Spanish bonds at fifty
cents on the dollar and held Cuba
as security.
That gold and bond trust held
, back the American people by their
, hold on Cleveland and Mckinley
till they saw Cuba was destroyed
as piece of collateral security,
: and that the treacherous blowing
: up and murder of 256 American
: sailors in the battleship, so wrought
up the American people, that a
volcano was about to burst that
might lead to the impeachment ola
faithless President, that Mckinley
was forced to make a show of fight.
But he will never fight if the Span
iards are not fools enough to make
the attack.
With an upright American Pres
ident in the White House, Cuba
would have have been free long ago,
the Maine and her valient crew
would now he afloat, and no mil
lions of money hurridly spent in
war preparations to fight such a
nation as Spain. All the hustling
that Mckinley can now make will
never wipe out the burning shame
he has helped heap on this nation.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Huntsville, July 30.NThe campaign in Madison county closed tonight with speak ing by the candidates at the county court house. Addresses were delivered by Ed. L. Pulley, democratic candidate for the state senate and lohn Fl. Wallace and J. II. Lyle, candidates for the legislature.
 The outlook for an increased democratic majority in Madison county is very encour- aging. The democratic candidates have conducted a vigorous campaign and have attracted large crowds overfiowing with enthusiasm. Their opponents have been inert and have received little encourage ment in any of the precincts

Temps, are already taking into account that important element fin the settlement of peace. They only hope that America Will not claim too much. Not that France feels envious, in view of the increasing power of the United States, but simply be- cause too onerous conditions on the part of America would make peace difficult. In fact, it deserves to be pointed out that France does not make objection to the United States increasing either it's strength or its dominions. The reason for a quiet feeling of France in this matter is that she is convinced that if such an in- crease in any way threatens any European power, she is not that power. Even the annexation of Hawaii, which gives the United States an important position in the Pacific ocean, has not disturbed France in the slightest degree, her possessions in America being small and unimportant, consisting only of some small islands and French Guiana. Therefore she feels sure that the Americans, which sine considers to be a practical people, will never think of having trouble with a great European power for such trifling object.
 "As to the Philippines if those islands are to be lost to Spain, France, as the ruler of Indo- China, would probably prefer having tho Americans as next door neigh. bors instead of any Euro pean as Asiate power.
 "Consequently, what France wants, e far as the United States are concerned, is only a proper consideration of her com mercial interests. In that respect she has been thoroughly re-assured by the willing ness the American government disp' ayed on the occasion of the last commercial agreement, so she is full of confidence ir the future."

FIRST PASSENGER TRAIN
Will Run on Montgomery Division M

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 Tuscaloosa, July 30.-Tomorrow about N12:3O o'clock the first scheduled passenger train over the Mobile and Ohio railroad will pass through this city. This marks another new era in our history, opens up the greatest undeveloped section of Ala bama to inspection.
 The road gives another outlet to the coal fields, makes the opening of Ala bama's greatest marble quarries, which are in Bibb county, a possibility; makes the utilization of the states greatest wa ter fall at Scottsville feasible; opens fertile Pickens county to commerce. Centreville, in Bibb county, comes dashing for city hood due to its building. Montgomery and Florida can call it their right arm, true short line to the great west. It is happy event and Tuscaloosa and Alabama are greater for its building.
 The work of improvement or passenger and immigration is in the hands of MT. H. E. Reynolds and well has he used his time, if the line from Centreville to Colum- bus can be judged for the rest. The many little cities saw mills and new people add ed attest to this.
 Tuscaloosa owes deal to him and the generous corporation which he represents, and 1t is needless to say will be reciprocal ed by a liberal patronage.

RAINS DAMAGING COTTON.
Boil Worm Has Appeared-Large Wa
 termelon Crop Court Matters.

Snecial Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 Greensboro, Ala, July 3O-The incessant rains are damaging the cotton crop very seriously. The boil worm has appeared and great apprehension is felt that the crop will be cut short by it's ravages. The hay and fodder crops also are being cut short by the rains.
 No interest is felt in the general election, which takes place on next Monday, and the vote will be small. There is no oppo- sition to the county ticket.
 The watermelon crop is immense, mel ons weighing from to 30 pounds are sell ing for nickel apiece. Strange our people do not utilize this crop by making syrup. A gentleman in this place has tried 1t on small scale, and made good syrup out of the juice of the melons. 1tFwill take ten gallons of the juice of the cane to make one gallon of syrup; two and half gall Ions of watermelon juice will make one and half pints of syrup There is money for some enterprising man in this line.
 The case of the state vs. Ben Collins, colored, charged with concealing and aid ing the escape of Bill Scott, the murderer of the Singley family, was tried this week in the county court and the defendant was found guilty by the jury and fined siOO. This will put him in the mines for about fourteen months.

 The commissioners court has summoned 184 real estate owners of the county to ap- pear on the 8th of August to show cause why the valuation of their property should not be raised.

Rheumatism

It is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood
Is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason SO
many thousands fail to get rid
of Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try a lifetime. but
the disease will not yield TO such
treatment; it will. on the other
hand, grow worse each year.
