From the Huntsville Post.
Come, let us reason together, fellow DEM
ocrats of Alabama. Let us be honest, frank
and candid with each other, and with John
I. Morgan and Joseph F. Johnston Stand
them out before you, disrobed of all official
attire and the hundred and one influences
that go with political office. Measure the
men alone by qualification and capability
for the duties of a senator in the United
States senate. Don't consider them at all
except one John IT. Morgan, and the
other as Joseph F. Johnston. VINO do YOU

greater intellectual powers and the knowl-
edge of craftsmanship, best equipping a
man for this high and most responsible po-

be so earnest for him if he was cely plain

many men doing all in their power for the
governor because he has given them some

everywhere the world over. Then look a.

Musical BIRMINGHAM.

The orchestral and choral concert at the
opera house next Thursday night, under the
dictatorship of Benjamin Guckenberger,
will be fully up to the scale of a music
festival.
The orchestra will play five brilliant
numbers in the opening part of the pro-
gramme, and the Messiah chorus will
sing the seven gem choral numbers of Han
dels great master work in the second part
of the programme. Two distinguished
artists of Cincinnati have been engaged to
sing rich solo numbers in the messiah"
N1r. Ehrgott the baritone, is indeed one of
the most highly esteemed and popular vocal
artists in the United States.
This festival concert is to be given under
the auspices of the Birmingham Festival
Orchestra association. If it is financially
successful, as it will be, no doubt other
and larger musical enterprises in connection
with a first-elass permanent orchestra will
follow Music of a high order, like all fine
arts, is a luxury, and luxuries require
money.
But Birmingham claims to be a musical
city, and everything tending to advance
musical taste, will therefore be sustained
in a liberal manner.

An Eloquent Speech.

Mr.. Clark Howen's speech before the In
dependent club, Buffalo, will be read with
great interest in all the states of the union.
1t is perhaps the most eloquent, the most
scholarly, most finished of all of Mr.. Clark
Howelrs public utterances. The Theme is
one eminently suggestive, and is susceptible
of wide and varied treatment, as the
gifted ora6or has demonstrated.
1.-The man with his hat in his hand" ds
not an altogether familiar figure in Amer
lean life, political or social Bismarck,
in a public speech, delivered in his native
province of Bradenbung, declared proudly
that 1--WE Bradenburgers fear nothing but
God" The boast was pardonable because
it was based upon fact. We Americans
fear nothing but God; but we are a most
irreverent people. Our flag is to most of
us mere strip of starred and striped
bunting. and in a hundred ways we de-
grade the emblem of our nationhood to
base uses.
We have no distinctive national anthem
but if we had we are so irreverent that We
should fail to uncover to the sound of its
notes. Mr.. Clark Howels word-picture
of the cid Georgia mountaineer with his
hat in his hand in the presence of that
which represented the military power of
his country is very beautiful, very effect
i've. 1t is a pity that all Americans do not
share the spirit of reverence manifested
by the loyal soul from the southern hills.
But however that may be, Mr. Clark
Howell has given US a very eloquent
speech; one that will bear reading more
than once.

were transferred to the university of the
state for the benefit of the people of the
state. Options had been issued upon these
public ands-had the people no right to
know as to these options? Is the governor
of the state above the people?
These are very serious questions. If the
governor of the state can, in defiance of the
expressed policy of the trustees of the uni
versity, issue options upon public lands,
and can then refuse all information as to
such options, where indeed is the liberty
that we boast of? If he can with dmpunity
treat citizens as he has treated the COM
mittee of the Society of the Alumni-who
are citizens-who can name a limit of his
power? If he can refuse information as to
one piece of public business, he can as to
all. If he can issue an option upon one
piece of public land, he can upon all, even
upon the historic capitol itself. These are
matters well worthy the serious considera-
ton of the citizen who cares very little
about politics. but a great deal about order
ly, properly conducted government.
Irregular as the issuance of the options
undoubtedly was. the refusal to give infor-
nation concerning them is even more con-
fusing, more extraordinary, more unac-
countable

Options on Public Lands.

The reply of Governor Johnston to a re-
spectful request of the advisory committee
for farther and fuller information is best
measured by the request itself I'm view"
says Mr. Wood, secretary of the alumni
committee, "of the many publications in
regard to this matter the committee would
be pleased to have any further information
in regard to 1T that you may be pleased to
extend to it." This is certainly broad
enough and respectful enough to stift the
most exacting.
After giving Governor Johnston an oppor-
tunty to state any and all facts within his
knowledge, the committee asks for some
special information. in these words:
The committee specially requests that You
will advise them by what authority you
granted an option, if one was given upon
the above mentioned lands or any portion
of the same. And they further ask that
you will furnish them with the following
data in regard to said option:
First-Date.
Second-The name of party to whom
given.
Thrd-Expiration.
Fourth-Renewal or extension
Fffth-Consideratio for option
SiXth-Consideraition for lands
Seventh-Land embraced
Eighth-Sale closed.
Ninth-Amount paid, together with copy
of said option.
As matter collateral to the scope of
their inquiry they request that You will
furnish them a list of all options given bv
you on university lands, pending. expired

flee. together with the data mentioned
above in regard to each.
The committee asked for information per.
tinent to the inquiry in hand-wholly relat-
ing to university, and therefore to public,
property-information that the governor Of
the state alone could furnish and what did
they get? They got no information what
ever. The request for information was re-
fused The lands in question once belonged

Christmas Day.

This night is Christmas Eve-the one
night in the year dedicated to the children
and to charity. One night out of 365 does
not seem Ito DE an undue proportion for such
purposes.
There are some who have displayed their
learning in attempting to show the origin
of Christmas; but few care to know its
origin. That need not trouble US. 1t may
or it may not have ante-dated the Christian
era il may or it may not be the exact
anniversary day of the birth of the Prince
of Peace. The people are not concerned
over such issues.
All know That it is the one day in the
year when every person is expected to make
some other person happy. That is what
Christmas is. If you do this in remem
branee of the birth of the Goldman, well
and good, but whatever your line of thought
may be 1T is your duty-do not forget this

Day. You are ait liberty to make more
than one happy, but you are not, under the
unwrtten law. at liberty to let the day go
by without making one person happy. This
is the minimum of the law of Christmas
The maximum is left to your own discre-
tion and circumstances.
The Age-Herald did not make the law
1t is law THAT has been growing more
and more in favor all down through the
centuries; but there are many ways of
carrying it out and in selecting the person
OF persons to be made happy the best way
is to cast aside seMishness altogether-to
cast aside the return idea-and to carry
happiness to some helpless and unfortunate
creature of this world. This is the true
Christmas idea. This was what the Sayiz
our of the world did when He was in the
world, and HIS example can always be fol-
lowed with satisfaction.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT
SOME SEASONABLE THINGS

Joy and gladness will fill many house,
holds today and tomorrow. There will be
thousands of happy children in Birming-
ham and all Alabama. They will awake to
find stockings and mantelpieces and
hearths filled with candies, fruits, toys and
all things that bring joy and gladness to
the hearts of little folks. Yet there are
some homes in which there will be none
of this. There are the poor, as well as the
prosperous and well-to-do. There may be
homes in Birmingham tomorrow which will
not only be lacking in toys and Christmas
stockings, but even the warmth of a fire
1t would be well for the generously in
clined to look them up today.
The happiest woman 1 ever saw, for an
instance, I met in front of Loveman, Jo-
seph & Loeb's store yesterday afternoon
She was a widow with three small children,
and absolutely without the necessaries of
life, and almost without clothing for her.
self and her little ones. just a year ago
her husband-a mechanic-who earned good
wages, was killed in an accident. He had
saved up a few dollars, but this had all
been consumed within the past year, and
the widow was endeavoring to earn a liv-
ing by laundering curtains.
Lawyers had been to her and brought
suit against the corporation employing her
husband when he met his death. The in
dications are that she may get few hun
dred dollars, but that prospect could be
nothing to her so long as she was without
the actual necessaries of life. A prominent
judge and prominent lawyer who had
read of her case sent through one who
knew her two crisp fve-dollar bills, and
ordered eatables and toys sent to the poor
little home in which she has been COM
PEELED to exist with her family. When she
received the money and the message the
woman actually wept tears of joy.
The poor are with US always, and the gem
erous are with us. There are many great
hearted, generous people in Birmingham,
who would do much good if they only knew
where to do it.
The national political campaign has OPEN
ed up. 1t is an assured fact that the DEM
ocrats will renominate Bryan and the re-
publicans will renominate Mckinley Who

question is whether or not New York can

Lennfh of DAYS.

Yesterday was-one of three shortest days
of the year. Thursday. Friday and Satur-
day were the three. Today is one minute
longer than yesterday was. The afternoons
have been frightening ever since last Sun
day, and the afternoons will hereafter be
minutes in this respect will be observed be-
fore the year is closed. But the mornings
are still becoming shorter. and we must
wait until January Il before any improve
ment in daylight will be observed in the
morning. After the eleventh day of Janu-
airy the sun will begin to rise earlier and
to set later and the frightening of the
daylight hours will go on apace. There will
be some net gain before that time, but none
that the early risers will appreciate.
January is a month of cold brief days.
The days do begin to legthen in it. but the
saw says that as the days begin to length
en- the cold begins to strengthen! And this
is the case as a rule The unprecedented
zero weather of last winter did not occur
until February, but we may expect next
month the most trying weather of the win
ter season-the weather that the aged and
the weak should guard against. 1t is a
month of "colds," and these affections are
the basis of more Ills than they have credit
or debit for The man who never takes cold
is the exception. He is the rugged man,
the man whose promise of long life is the
most secure.

of General Lawton, which occurred only
seventeen miles from Manila, appears to in
dictate that all this talk about having subs
dued the Filipinos is to a large extent, I'M
true. The people of this country do not en-
dorse the mistakes of the republican adj
ministration in the management of the Phil
ipine question. There has never been any
good and sufficient reason for a war with
the Filipinos. Had the administration car
ried out the declaration of congress, made
in regard to Cuba, in Philippines there
could never have been any contest at arms
between the United States troops and the
Filiplnos. The Filipinos simply wanted a
republic, and congress, in starting the war,
declared emphatically in favor of local self
government for the Cubans. The republi-
cans cannot explain with any good and suf-
ficient reasons why the Cuban policy
not established in the Philippines.
I heard a prominent republican, man of
national importance-declare only yesterday
that he believed this issue, and the fact
that the republicans have to defend their
now currency BILL would bring about the
defeat of that party in the next national
campaign. He did not believe that the
publican candidate could defend the action
of the administration before the people.
By the way, speaking of politics. my
friend, John Tomlinson, in his race for gov
ernor, has developed such wonderful
strength that the indications now point TO
his being the next governor of Alabama.
Tomlirson is making gallant, manly and
bold contest. He wins the respect and adj
miration of men wherever he goes because
he talks to them plainly. He has nothing
to conceal, and it ma tiers not whom the
facts help or hurt he deals in them He

Mr. Tomlnson has been successful law

A few years ago. Coils P. Huntington's
private secretary, Mr.. Miles, asked for an
increase of salary. do you need any more
money!" asked Mr.. Huntington, thought
fully mo, sir, don't exactly need it," re-
piled Mr.. Miles, "but still I'd be glad to be
getting a little more" "Ahhum-m-m -
unused the employer, "can you get along
without the advance for the PRESENT." "Oh,
yes" answered the secretary, 81 guess so."
and the matter dropped. A couple OF
years later new boy appeared at the Miles
home, and the secretary thought the time
propitious to renew the application. "Why,
my dear SIR said Mr.. Huntington, when he
heard him through. 81 raised your salary
when you asked me before" II never heard
ANYTHING about" said the secretary in
amazement PROBABLY not" returned Mr.
Huntington, sin fact, l used that money to
buy piece of property for you. I'd just
let it stand for while if l were YOU" Mr..
Miles thanked him warmly and retired
somewhat mystiied. Recently Mr.. Hunting
