EVEN DEWEY COULDN'T

From the Youths Companion.
 Possibly the following is an old story in a new form, but it illustrates the fact that the fame of a warrior, at least while it is still new, surpasses the fame of the civic chieftain.
 It is said that on his latest southern tour President Mckinley visited a militagS camp, and while strolling about after night fail got outside the lines and tried to pass the sentry in coming back. The sentinel stopped him and demanded the counter sign.
 q don't know the countersgn," said the president.
 "Then you don't pass, sir" said the sol- dier
 "But l am the president of the United States said MT. Mckinley.
 q cant help that, sir" answered the sol- dier "1f you haven't got the countersign you couldn't get by here-not even if you was George Dewey himsef!'

SHE WAS AN ANUIENT

From the Louisville Times.
 Here's one on her. She was one of the blase society girls who had, or pretended to have, seen everyt hing that came over the asphalt. She shrugged her soulders and looked bored at every thing and had a tender pity, a half scornful contempt for the peo- pie who were green enough to find enjoy ment in anything.
 'Oh, do come to the opera with us,' ex- claimed the pretty girl who went nightly with her sweetheart. "It is so nice and cool out there and you don't know what good time you will have, dear"
 "Oh. the opera" drawled the blase wo- man. Thanks, no, it is so hackneyed. Why, I have seen that opera as many times as I am years old.''
 You have" reiterated the enthusiast candidly. Dear me, then you really must be sick and tired of it."
 Some fiend in the vicinity giggled aloud the blast girl glared, and now the enthus- fast wants to know what happened to cut the conversation short, and why that un- grateful Miss Blase has soured on her to the extent of not inviting her to her latest Dutch supper An, why didn't she?

ALABAMA's PROSPEROUS CITY
From the Gadsden Times-News.

From the Gadsden Tlmes-News.
 It seems from the papers that our neigh Dor city, birmingham, is always in good shape, fine condition, and the public af- fairs on Q solid basis. Her wave Of pros- perfty knows no abatement, but goes on increasing it's volume With wonderful ve- locity All Alabama is proud of Birmlng- ham and her wonderful and phenomenal growth, and this is well; for Birmingham with her enormous wealth and mighty power is an important part of our state. But how could the Magic City remain in- active and take a short siesta with such strong and hustling newspapers that are there entrenehed deeply in all that affects Birminghams good and much of her great ness has been the production of the earn est efforts of faithful brainy newspaper men. Other cities in the state can learn great lessons by studying the conditions Of Birmingham's prosperity

Veterans Reunion

Blountsville, July 21.-(Special 1.-The Blount county confederate reunion was held here on yesterday. Fully two thous- and people were present, and the old sol- dieds enjoyed the occasion to the extreme.
 The immense crowd was well handled by MT. Cornelius Turner master of ceremonies. and the camps were properly commanded by MT. S. T. Burnett. Rev. Sanford made the welcoming address in fine taste. The prayer was offered by Rev. Hughes, the chaplain. Speeches were made by Dr. Watts, of Holly Pond; Geo. D. Shelton, Liberty; Colonel Clements, Tuscaloosa, and Dr. ]. A. B. Lovett, president of the Agri- cultural school at this place, Much enthu- siasm prevailed, when the exercises were cut short by much needed rain.

states named:

In other words Illinois has since 1886 be- come 15 millions poorer, while New York has become 673 millions richer-the truth probably being that each state has ad- vanced year by year in wealth in about equal proportion. The assessment tables have become meaningless so far as aggre- gate wealth is concerned. As between two taxpayers they may be just. but for the pur- poses of statistics they are misleading. The basis of assessment is in no two states alike, and in no state is the basis the &C., tual cash value of property
 Worst of all the basis of assessment varies in the counties of state, farm on one side of a county line bearing a valuation wholly unlike that of an adjoining farm across the line. In most of the states this difficulty is met by state boards of equali- zation who apportion the state burden assessors. The action of the local assessors stand so far as county or other local taxa ton is concerned, but not so far as state taxation Is concerned. Unevenness of taxa tion is no doubt an evil that needs correc- ton in this state as well as In New York or other states. The public burden should be evenly toted. It is not so toted, and it never will be until some way is devised for leveling the aggregate of county assess ments

sugsCREPTIoN RATES.
The TransvaaI War Cloud.

The incident in the Transvaal has been Alfred Mner did not get for the Outland- CTS the franchise after five years residence, but he obtained terms from the Raad that are acceptable. All Outanders who were in the republic in 1890 become voters at once, and all others become so after seven years residence. This extension of the franchise is acceptable toetHe English gov ernment, and the trouble is ended.
 Dom Paul accepts an extension of the franchise because he had to accept it or war of the sternest sort. The new franchise involves redistribution of seats in the Raad, and the control of the gold districts by the Outlanders, and eventually perhaps of the republic. The change is very con siderable, and if President Kruger is at all reasonable there will be no more trou- ble between his little country and the Eng fish government. It must be said that <ru- ger has come out of the storm with undl- unfinished glory, for he minmized to the limit the English demands. He accepted what he had to accept in order to avoid annihfation. The Outlanders will gain local self-government at least, and per haps after while very considerable voice in the affairs of the republic. The settlement is a gain all around, for all par ties would have suffered from a protracted war in the mountain districts.
 Peace preails widely in the world in these days of the peace congress. Except in Luzon hostile armies are not facing each other, although in China the situation is not exactly one of peace. There may be a war or two in Latin America. but the chief war cloud was dispeIled when Kruger and his parliament passed laws that were ac- ceptable to Mr. Chamberlain and the Out flanders.

affairs-on these four questions the Ala bama democracy are practically solid" All believe that the new currency scheme of the republicans. matched at Atlantic City, must be met and in time oyerthrown. All hold with Mir. Bryan that the insurrec- tion in the island of Luzon must be put down and a stable government established. All are vitally interested in the freedom ton of her constitutional provisions. All desire the enforcement of the income tax, including. if course a resuhmission of it's legality to the United States supreme court, in which two changes have occurred since the judge from Pittsburg fopped and handed the court over to the plutoerats.
 By far the most important subject that will come up in the Fifty-sixth congress re- lates to Louisiana. It will come up under the apportionment of representation under the new census. It cannot be passed upon in the long session, but if MT. Mckinley be reelected no one need doubt that the re- publicans will attempt to rob Louisiana of a part of her representa- ton in congress, and in the electoral college. This will be done in part to punish Louisiana and in part as warning to other southern states. It will be an attempt to hold over the south negro domination. It vii be a bold and strong effort to rehabiitate negro rule. There is no concealment of the fact that the republicans have determined to make Louisiana's new constitution the occasion of a historic struggle.
 When that struggle comes on, as come 1t must, shall the south be deprived of the matchess services of Senator Morgan? He will, it is true, hold seat throughout the short session of the Fifty-sixth congress, but no one believes that such a momentous question can be settled in that session. It will doubtless involve an extra session, or else it will go over to the long session of the Fifty-seventh congress. Whenever it comes up the south needs at hand Ala bama's il1ustrious senator, and if he be de- prived of his seat all the south will justly blame Alabama. We can not spare Sena- tor Morgan when a question of such vital interest to every southern state is before the country. Disfranchisement and de- struction do indeed in this question stare every southern state in the face.

OUTLOOK Is ENCOURAGING
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The Vesta cotton mill, which is being operated at Charleston, s. C., with colored labor, has made its first shipment of goods since the machinery was started under the reorganization. The shipment was made to St. Louis, and the goods manufactured were said to be of very high class and quality. The mill has only been running a short time with colored operatives though the plan is working well, and is the cause of much encouragement and satisfaction to the management. The president of the cimpany, MT. Montgomery, who is q prac- tical mill operator, says he has carefully watched the work of the colored operatives and is much pleased with what has been accomplished.

tands for more than the free coinage of

stands for more than the free coinage of silver.
 Senator Morgan recognizes the fact, which all well informed men are aware of, that there ts strong opposition in the democratic party. even among those who believe in free silver. to Bryans renomi- nation, and says that we ought to nominate a man who can unite the party and lead 1t to success. It may be that when tae representatives of the party meet and take counsel together the opposition will become convinced that Bryan is the man to lead; on the other hand, Bryans followers may see that another man can command more votes. In either event it will be their duty to put forward that man who can most certainly secure the success of democratic principles. Senator Morgan has said no more than this, and this every reasonable man will agree to.
 As to tine platform, Senator Morgans po sition is equally strong. He stands squarely on the Chicago platform but declares that since that platform was adopted other is- sues have become prominent and the party must deal with them. There is no disputing this proposition. Bryan himself is talking more about anti-imperialism than about free silver.
 No doubt those who are anxious to sue ceed to the senator's seat in the senate and their friends will try to persuade the peo- pie that he has betrayed the cause and candidate of democracy. But it is not true. He stands for democratic principles and is anxious to see them succeed He is a man of international reputation, of great learning, and ripe wisdom, the strongest, ablest democrat in the United States sen- ate. The whole country, especially his own beloved Alabama, is proud of him, and he is too strongly entrenched in our love to be overthrown by the wiles of petti- logging politicians.

Editor DevIin Before the Committee

Editor Devlin's case was brought before the national democratic committee by Mayor Carter Harrison and his friends, who had been nursing a large-sized griev- ance that had been brought over from Chicagos last mayoralty election. It will be remembered that there were three can- didates In the field-a republican and ex- Governor Altgeld and Mayor Carter Har- rison himself. MT. Harrison was an easy winner, but that fact did not lessen his anger against Editor Devlin.
 MT Devlin is the thought promulgator at democratic national headquarters. He was appointed by Chairman Jones, but he was given no special instructions, all hay ing confidence in his capacity, and devotion to the democratic party. He has charge of the matter of a great ready print" house-the patent outsides of the rural districts in all states-and he was expected to keep the papers using such sheets we'll supplied with democratic doc Urine. -/
 But his foot slipped while the Chicago election was pending. He wrote an art- cle from the Altgeld point of view, thus to some extent committing the national committee to that view of the contest. The matter was referred by the national com mittee to a committee of three and they unanimously advised that the press bureau be hereafter in charge of a subcommittee of the national committee, thus relieving MT. Devlin, and satisfying Mayor Carter Harrison and his friends.
 The moral of the fight made against Edi- tor Devlin seems to be this-no one should be allowed to use the democratic party for the purpose of building up a faction or for the promotion of individual ends I he democratic party has no use for fac tionists. It is organized to advance demo- cratic principles instead of individual ann bition. The Devln case really stands for great many similar cases throughout the states, and Alabama is one of the states, and is subject just now to the faction afflietion.

DISCUS SION IN ORDER NOW

 The Standard believes as firmly in the Chicago platform, and is as loyal to MT.

GOV. JOHNSTON AND GEN. SHELLEY
 From the Marion Standard
 There is not newspaper reader in Ala bama who does not know that Governor Johnston and General Shelley have been neck and neck on all issues involving Bryan and silver for the past half dozen years. General Shelley's silver views were no less transparent than were Governor Johnston's and neither were his opinions of MT. Bryan. Shelley it was who manipulated the strings to secure funds for the governors cam paign in 1896, and it is well known that no man in the state did more than he for the success of both state and national ticket. When you question Shelleys money views just turn the slate and you'll see Johnston's profile in fines as big the sun rays. The real difference between the political sa- gacity of General Shelley and that of the governor is the general is for principle and general yields personal convictions to the will of his party. and the governor thinks he is the party; the general has a soul, the governor has not; the general if cZar would rule even his enemies with love and mercy, and the governor would behead some and ball and chain and starve others; if a ranking soldier General Shelley would stand by his men and his guns and the governor would fear a yellow fever epi- demic; if hungry, Shelley would give bread, the governor would give you a stone; if the governor disliked the father he would visit his curse upon the son, Shelley would not.

TOO MUCH FOR HER

From the Youths Companion.
 Everybody knows the man who is careful never to say No" abruptly In answer to a question. No" is a hard word, but one may some times be made ridiculous by reluctance to utter it.
 A certain man who had this hapit was once met by two women who had been discussing the peculiarity, and one of them said that she was positive she could make him say: "oh, mo-" fiatly. So she addressed him thus:
 Let me see, MT Smith, you are a wldower, are you not?"
 As much a widower, madame" he an- swerped, with a polite inclination of his head, ''as it is possible for a man to be who has never married"
 The woman had to own herself beaten

MoRGAN's POSITION ENDORSED

From the Florence Herald.
 The Age-Herald says editorially that there is no 'treachery'' in discussing what is best when all are loyal to the historical epochal platform of 1896, and when all are trying to bring about its final triumph. Morgan is honest in stating his true convictions, as every democrat should do. We should not deceive ourselves and follow any false ideals. Let us be cautious. The Herald en- dorses the position of Senator Morgan The future will show that he is right in his almost prophetic predictions.
