Birmingham Alabama Ledger.
While the Southern people have
loved jefferson Davis, and have held
HIM as the type OF the C%onfcderacy.
They also loved his daughter as the
daughter or the COnfcdcracy. but they
have never extended their devotion to
Mrs. Davis.
And since the death of Mr.. Davis
she has lived North and has made the
intervals between her visits South
Of longer and longer duration.
1t is now announced that Mrs.
Davi is is selling Beauvnir and thus cut
ting the last tie that binds her to the
South. After that place Is sold there
will be even less attraction for the
aged lady TO come South. and very
probably she will not do 50 again.
So passes the personal part of the
Davis family from our life, and they
.sgQAnto history, and they are no lon
Kera part OF us. Jefferson Davis was
IN army officer, and fought for his
country in Mexico and in the then
Wild West. lie was Secretary of
War and a United States Senator,
hut he was a typical Southern gentle
men, soldier and statesman. and his
wife would have done well to have
Ii we'd among the people who loved him
and kept in sympathy with them, in
stead of living an eXilc's life in a
Northern city.

THE SUPREME EVIL.


st, Louis Republic.
Obscrvant students Of prevailing
conditions in this country will not he
surprised by the fact that the Repub.
lican party itself is becoming alarmed
and apprehensive at the grave menace
Of the trust evil now so rapidly de-
veloping to its fullest proportions.
Coincldent happenings Of recent
date have fully awakened the people
of the United States to the great
dangers OF the trust system. A
shamelessly bold attempt to hrihe the
Attorney Genera! of Ohio into a cor.
rupt neutrality toward trust organi-
cations has been exposed. The man
was tempted by the offer Of $500, 900
to abandon the legal prosecution Of
the trusts In Ohio courts. He CHANGED
TO be an honest man, but it was not
the fault Of the trusts that he re-
manned honest. Under their code OF
ethics they were willing To pay his
price, il he had a price.
While this guilty negotiation for
the purchase Of Attorney General
Monnett's personal and official honor
was under way, an unparalleled rush
Of trust formation vas to be noted in
the daily news, and the rush still con-
tinues. The trusts willingness to
bay the Attorney General OF Ohio eX-
tends to all other States and to every
State officer and member Of the judi
ciary capable of o%bstructlng the trust
system. The widening of the scope
of the trusts means the widening of
the demOrallzing influence which the
trusts are prompt to exercise upon
emergency. Their sway must be alb
solute-they must cwn men as well as
material and markets.
1t is difficult to imagine a greater
danger TO a country than is contained
in this evil OF trust domination. 1t
will be through Gods providence and
their own firm and strenuous eXcrtions
that the people are finally rescued
from this danger. But they must not
look for leadership to the Republican
party, which itself created and is now
owned by the trusts. Democracy is
the hope of the people ina war against
the trusts, and Il faithful Democracy
should grid on its armnr now for Il
warfare which promises to be cpochal
in its bearing upon the future of Il
free country.

mer: "What need Of more money?
Note the gold dollars purchasing

AGAINST AN ELECTIVE JUDI
C1ARY.

The following excellent rcas0 for
opposing an elective judiciary are
taken from the Sardis reporter:
1--WE are a DemOcrat-a free silver
Democrat-but, the judiciary Is one
branch of government that we con
sc%icntiously think should be kept out
Of, and above politics, and to do this
would be an utter impOSSibillty IT
judges are to be elected by the people.
Parties would nominate and parties
would elect, and influential politici-
ans would make themselves solid
with the incoming judge, by working
for his election. This he could not
forget, and after all, men are human
and only human, and gratitude though
arc is human virtue.
"For the present time we will let
the matter rest"
