HARD TO SATISFY.

There is no such thing possible as to
satisfy the wishes of the partisan press and
leadership of the Democratic party. They
are so thoroughly inconsistent and shifting
in their positions that you canuot know
today where they will be tomorrow. How
many times have Democrats been seen
solemnly wagging their heads and talking
about the enormous national debt that has
been created by our war with Spain, and
the heavy debt that will be accumulated
by the Administration Philippine policy?
How often have We heard it predicted that
the revenues of the Government would be
insufficient to meet its ordinary and extra
ordinary expenses? Look out for deficit,
they have been saying.
Then, again, we have heard them COM
planning of the large Accommodations that
were being gathered into the national treas.
ury, and decrying policy that withdraws
and withholds from circulation such large
amount of the currency of the country.
Democratic prophesy as to the continual
increase of the national debt has been
proven false, and instead of there coming
q deficit in the treasury the revenues have
grown SO great that large surplus has
been piled up.
Just at this juncture there is threat
ened stringency in the money centers and
the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Gage,
thinks proper to accomplish two good re-
suits from the situation-one is to prevent
a money stringency, and the other is to re-
duce the national debt by paying out a
part of the idle surplus in the treasury.
So he has offered to purchase $25, 900, 900
of the outstanding bonds of the United
States Government. This offer has already
BEEN largely accepted, and bonds TO about

HONEST AT LEAST.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
Senator Morgan and Governor Johnston
of Alabama, have begun campaign for
the United States Senatorship which will
be filled by the Legislature to be chosen in
that State at the election next August.
The term of Senator Morgan will expire
March 4, 1901. He desires q reelection
and Governor Johnston wishes to succeed
him. The contest between these two men
will continue during the next six months
and it is likely to prove the warmest Ala
bama has ever witnessed for United
States Senatorship.
The first joint debate between the two
contestants took place in Athens, Ala,
last Saturday, and it was notable for q
declaration from Senator Morgan on the
colored suffrage question. During his
speech Senator Morgan turned to the
colored men in the audience and said !:
"Black men, have a word to say to you
in all honesty, candor and frankness. Now,
want to tell you tina the thing which l

the amount of 100000 already taken
in. That amount of idle money has been
restored to circulation. and it will reach
the full amount of the $25 100000 in a
few weeks. The public debt will be re-
duced to that extent and saving of about
$4,000, 900 in interest accomplished.
We now find the Democratic press and
leaders criticising Secretary Gage and try
ing to create the impression that he is
playing into the hands of Wall Street.
They can find no other reason to sustain
their complaints. Of course they are dis
appointed because the national treasury is
in such good condition that the national
debt can be reduced, and that there is a
vast surplus instead of a deficit. They are
angered at seeing another striking proof OF
the financial ability of the Republican
party as compared with that Of the Demo
cratic party. 1t is shown that the Repub-
lican party only creates debt in time Of
war, and that it can pay off that debt in
time of war as we'll as peace. 1t has been
shown that the Democratic party was com
PEELED to create large national debt ii
time of peace, and was utterly unable tc
reduce it one penny in time Of peace. Il
is the striking contrast in Republican and
Democratic financial ability that makes
these fellows mad.

wANTED-A DISCREET LEADER.

In casting about for a minority leader in
the House of Representatives, it is to be
hoped that the Democrats will select q
wide-awake, progressive man who has the
good of the country as well as the good of
his party at heart, and who will not put
the party in the attitude of being an OBJ
structionist. Tom Reed once said that
the Democratic party had one motto, and
that was SIT can't be done"
Some Democrats seem to think that it
is their duty and the duty of their party
to oppose everything that the Republicans
attempt to do, be it good, bad, or indiffer-
ent. This is a mistaken policy. We live
in progressive age and the Democratic
party must be party of progress, if it
would enjoy the confidence of progressive
men. 1t will not do for the Democratic
party, at this time, because it has set its
face against imperialism, to attempt to
throw obstacles in the way of trade expan-
sion. Our capacity to produce in this
country is now beyond our capacity to
consume, and we must have foreign mar
kets for our surplus. Expansion is fact.
1t is condition and not theory. Trade
expansion is not political question. 1t
is a business question in which Democrats
as we'll us Republicans are interested. If
there ever was time when the Democratic
party needed live, discreet leaders it is
now.-Richmond Times.
What the Democrats need most is dis
Greet party. The leadership of the party,
in great measure, has conformed to its
principles. 1t has been nothing but q
party of obstruction since the CIVIL War.
Its chief plank has been hostility to Re-
publicanism; and as the Republican party
has been a progressive one the Democratic
party in corresponding measure has
been progressive Besides, the Demo
cratic party in these latter days has not
been discreet enough to discriminate be-
tween fact and fancy, between principle
and sentiment. 1t is always looking back
ward and never forward. What Jefferson
or Jackson thought and said about condi-
tons in their days are sought TO be applied
to conditions as they now exist. Again,
the Democracy is no. able to draw a dis
tinction between expansion and imperial
ism. The one is now an active principle
in American politics, the other is myth
over which Democracy shouts itself hoarse.
The people need and demand what the
Republican party is giving them; the De-
mocracy opposes everything the Republi-
cans propose because it is suggested by the
latter. This stubborn hostility to progress
is in the hearts ofthe masses of Democracy,
and the leaders shape their views to suit.

The trouble with the Democratic party
is that it is always engaged in hunting up
some catchy issue TO present to the people
instead of standing squsrely on living
principle. The Democracy used free trade
in 1898, in 1896 it hunted,up free silver,
and in 1900 it will try to catch votes on
imperialism"

MODERN BULLET WOUNDS.
Some Illustration of Their Effect And
How They Are Treated.

Captain Boltwood, of Ottawa, who was
in the War of the Rebellion and also COM
manded a company in the Twentieth Kan
sas, writes Interestingly of the effect of bull.

improvements in firearms, it seems to me

medicines and doctors without receiving
any benefit from any of them. One day

RELIEF OR REVOLUTION.

The situation in Kentucky should serve
as a warning to the machine politicians in
Virginia, who have for a number of years
been thwarting the will of the people by
the use of an unfair election law. The
recent election in Kentucky witnessed the
most daring effort thet has ever been
known in the United States to secure fol a
corrupt machine absolute control of the
affairs of a State. Preparation for the
movement had been going on for a long
time. Goebel and his fellow-conspirators
found in the beginning that to accomplish
their purposes they must have an election
law that would furnish every conceivable
opportunity for the use of fraud, and upon
investigation they found that law copied
from the Virginia election law would be
the best they could possibly find. At the
last session of the Kentucky Legislature
Goebel, who was member of the body,
succeeded in securing the passage of the
infamous measure that now bears his
name, and which will forever link his
name with infamy.
At the recent election in Kentucky Goe-
bel PLAYED his law for all it was worth.
Partisan electoral boards in each county
selected partisan and corrupt officials to
conduct the elections, and, in the face OF
violent revolt in his own party and united
opposition by the Republicans, GoebeI
boldly proclaimed that he was going to be
elected Governor of his State. He was
however, confronted by resolute opposi
ton, which prevented Lin from securing
mqiority on the returns. AS SOON as he
found he had been defeated, though al
kinds of frauds had been employed in hi
behalf on election day, the arch conspirato
began to manipulate the returns and tt!
in that to way accomplish his designs. Thu
has provoked a storm of criticism and pro
test all over the land, and has called con
spicuous attention to the election law ant
methods of the Goebel Democracy. 1!
his own State he has aroused the people t.
such an extent that relief will have tt
come or revolution follow. That Their
will be an early repeal of the Goebel cleo
ton law we have no doubt
The situation in Kentucky should be {
valuable object lesson to the people of Vir
GINA. The workings of the Goebel cleo
ton law have attracted more attention tc
our law. The honest men Of our State
must now see that such law was never
made for honest purposes, and that those
who profit by it, are not safe men to be
entrusted with the care of our government
The existing conditions in Kentucky
should also serve as warning to the Ma
chine in Virginia. Goebel has excited q
revolt in that State which will demand re-
lief, or precipitate a revolution. In Vir'
ginia the revolt has been coming slowly
but surely. The fraudulent methods OF
the Machine are becoming each year more
outrageous and unbearable. Relief must
come or revolution is bound to ensue.

Company A, of the Third Alabama Ma

their armory at Beggs hail. Woodlawn, at

bers of the company as a national guard
organization and as volunteer company
in the First Alabama, together with any
other young men who are interested in mil
itary affairs, are invited to be present at
the meeting tomorrow.
Captain w. j. Parks, who before and
during the war commanded the company,
has called this meeting. He says that the
company has been waiting thus far to see
what action the legislature would take in
the reorganization of the national guard,
and as that has been entirely satisfactory
the company is fully ready to take on a
new life.
No talk has been heard of new officers
for the company and it is supposed that
the old ones will be retained. There is
probability, it is said that the armory of
the company will be moved from Woodlawn
into Birmingham.
