Governor Gambler on Suffrage.

Governor Gamblers explanation of the
Georgia cases of lynching is scarcely up
held by the facts of the present year up to
this time; for of the twenty-four lynchings
that have occurred this year in his state,
five were due to incendiarism, five to rob-
berry, three to completely in murder, one to
murder one to resisting arrest, one to race
prejudice, one to the use of violent lam
guage, leaving only seven that were in any
manner connected with crimes against wo-
men. 1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Dupont
Query. of Macon, Ga, was right when he
said before the GAINESVILLE Chautauqua
that 'lynching once established readily ex-
tends to crimes not originally contem-
plated and, unless restrained, ultimately
to acts not crimes"
Governor Gambler is, however, on sound
ground when he says peace cannot prevail
in Georgia until the suffrage is restricted
to the intelligence of the state Whether
suffrage has any relation to crime or not,
as Governor Gambler seems to intimate, 1t
is plain there will be unrest in Georgia
until the ballot is placed in competent
hands. And what is true of Georgia Is
true of Alabama. Qualified suffrage is Gov
Gamblers remedy for the unhappy condition
of affairs in Georgia, and that is what
must be adopted in this state before peace
and stability will prevail.
Governor Gambler proposes to restrict the
suffrage to the intelligent and the virtuous.
The latter restriction cannot be easily de-
fined, and it certainly cannot be easily en-
forced. 1t is in fact one of those thing that
are quite beyond the perceptions or the vir-
tue of public servants themselves. But the
precise qualifications of voters does not so
much concern the people of this state as
does reasonable settlement of the suffrage
question Such a settlement was in sight
when the convention bill was before the
people, and it will return again and again
until action satisfactory to the people is
had.

DOLLAR-DINNERR "REMINISCENCES
Some Inside History of the Famous Bryan
Banquet In New York


From the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
One of the walters at popular local res
taurant is a bird of passage from the Bow
cry, and was a member of the small army
that served the famous dollar Dinner in
New York last April. A good many stories
have been told of that memorable event,
but none of them surpasses his own in point
of picturesqueness and inside detail.
at was the funniest push / was ever in
in me life," he says, confidentially. 1.-THE
kitchen was small that they had to cook
everything on the outside and when it got
there it was dead cold. The second course
was paddock, and each fish come served in
a linen bag, so we could put EN- in tubs of
hot water and warm 'em up-see? Well,
some of the boys got ratified and
served 'em bags and all, with egg sauce
over tn outside. Say, you'd died laughing
seeing them fellers tryin' to carve their
fish. This is the toughest aud haddock
liver tackled in me life, said one Tammany
man at the head table; it's got skin like
a rhinocyris, says he.
"In the kitchen there was riot all night
long. 1t was so small the walters couldn't
reach the dishers-up and they got to scrap
ping for front places In the Ane. One man
was knocked stiff with turkey, and when
they picked him UP thought he was dead

PIG IRON INNINGS

From the Boston Herald
The late William d. Kelley should have
lived to see the prosperity of the favorite
interest to which his life was devoted-that
of pig iron 1t is being used in this country
now at the rate of more than a million
tons per month. That is about double the
production that was had of it as recently
as five years ago. Its prosperity borders on
the phenomenal. With all our resources
the call for it is gaining on the production,
for the stocks on hand are reported to be
three hundred thousand tons less in amount
than they were at the beginning of the
present year. This of course, with a draw
ing upon the stocks left over from last
year to meet the demand, the rate of which
would thus seem to exceed considerably
the supply as it is being provided. Twelve
million tons year is heavy showing, but
there seems to be no doubt that there will
be call for 1t all by those who are manu-
featuring it into every form of finished iron
and steel.

France and the Second Trial.

The second trial of Captain Dreyfus Is
to begin on August Z, or one week from
tomorrow A large number of witnesses
have been summoned about seventy in
number, many of them distinguished citi-
zens of the French republic. Why they
have been summoned no one seems to
know. Captain Dreyfus has been in daily
consultation with his lawyers and his de-
tense will be adequate to the attack upon
him beyond a doubt.
The court of cessation has defined the
limits of inquiry before the courtmartial.
The military court can only entertain this
propositions: Did Captain Dreyfus betray
in 1894 to other governments military Sc
erets of France? If he did, he is guilty of
treason; if he did not, he is not guilty. The
courtmarta is made up of capable SOL
tagonistic local feeling against the ac-
cused in the little provincial town. There
is a widespread belief that the second
trial will do justice. The truth will be
brought out. Among the witnesses to be
called are the former war ministers, Bellot
and Cavaignac; General Zulinden, General
Roget, General Boisdeffre formerly head
of the general staff; Patty du Clam and the
only Esterhazy. How far the second trial
will be public is not yet determined, but
the indications are that the court will be
a. in nd ba MI fol will
be picturesque and dramatic to the end.
Reunes has been transformed into an
armed camp Military telephone lines have
been constructed, and throughout the dis
trict passes are now needed.
One thing is certain, the enemies of the
republic and of justice have a stern man
and excellent soldier to deal with when
they encounter General the Marquis de
Gallifet, the new war minister. He is in
the saddle, sure enough. He has already
displaced General de Negrier, who talked
too much. He has appointed new military
governor of Paris, and he has placed under
arrest Captain Vilaneuve. who recently
wrote an anti-Dreyfus letter. He is not ct
all theatric, and everybody in France
knows that he is not man that mobs or
threats can move. He will do his duty
under all circumstances. He will deal
sterny with general or subaltern if he
be rebellious in any manner He will see
that Dreyfus has fair trial, and that
France Is not unduly disturbed over the
outcome. The luck of the republic again
appears in a man who is a once an arsto-
crat and even royaist, but who is first
of all soldier and an honest man.

THE APPROACHING STATE FAIR

From the Cullman Tribune-Gazette.
The material improvements and prosper
ity of our commonwealth is the pride of
every local Alabamian's heart, and nothing
would tend to promote this more tangibly
than a state fair where all the products
of Alabama industry and genius could be
exhibited to the best advantage, and where
competition would incite an emulation to
excel in every department. Farmers would
be stimulated to raise the finest stock and
to employ the best agricultural methods to
produce the choicest fruit and best grain
while the ladies would vie with each other
in exhibiting the daintiest samples of their
culinary achievements or skill with the
needle, sewing machine or artists brush.
By all means let's have a state fair. All
the live, progressive states have been hav-
ing them for years and reaping the result
in improved stock, better farming and in
creased demand for their products, while
Alabama equally or more lavshly endow-
cd by nature, has Jagged in the rear, and
let others take the honors and profits. 1t is
time for her to wake up and her people to
''get a move on them"

OVER IN GEORGIA


From the DadeYille spot CaSh
Lynchngs are getting entirely too COM

they are now everyday occurrences. The
Lord only knows what will be the result If
this barbarous way of avenging crime or
wrong is not checked. 1t is not credit to
Georgia to have these daily lynching bees,
but on the other hand, 1t is reflection on
her citizenship and the entire south's.

From the Ensley Enterprise.

The people of Jefferson county should go
to work Immediately and put their best
efforts to inaugurate a state fair at Bir-
mingham. There is no better or more
profitable means of advertising the re-
sources of our great state than at state
fair. Every citizen of the state should
take a keen interest in this great work, and
do so right away. No time should be lost,
as it takes a great deal of work to get up
creditable fair and the time is limited. We
should have a state fair every year. Here
is the place where people exchange ideas
and the result is always profitable. By all
means let every man, woman and child
talk up this most important subject and
put in good work. Birmingham is the most
essential point to locate the state fair, and
her citizens should come together and
make their contribution. We are in for
state fair and will do all we can to assist
in making it a grand success. Talk state
fair and work for this great enterprise.
