The Power of the Press.

MT. w. R. Lockhart, manufactures and druggist, addresses these questions to the Age-HeraId:
 What is the use of you talking about your chief of police and Judge Fea5in, when you talked about Governor Johnston and run him down for trying to have reformation in Birmingham? What intlu- ence has the press, anyway?
 The repealists throughout the state have suddenly and simultaneously and unani- mously discovered that the press of Ala bama has no influence, no knowledge Of public sentiment, no sense anyway. If :he apparently uppermost thoughts of the re- pealists be expressed in their first state platform, the very first plank will be a solid shot aimed at the press of Alabama.
 We regret that the repealists have lost confidence in the papers of their own state, whatever degree of confidence they may have in papers and magazines published in other states It is not well to turn against home institutions. It is not patriotic. It is not seemly MT. Lockhart and his re- peal colleagues should seem to have conii- dence in home papers, even if they have 1t not.
 It would tire the reader were we to ex- plain the genesis of the no-confdence movement in repeal circles. We refrain. We simply note It's existence, and let it go at that.
 MT. Lockhart and his colleagues will in the course of time recover from their pres ent attack, and the Alabama press will re- gain it's position even in their minds as the rudder that steers, if not the sail that pro- The Age-H Herald begs MT. Lockhart to with hold, so far as he can, his awful center shot, "What influence has the press, any, way?"

cratic hope win be led by Alexander B. Bruce. The democratic convention will be controlled by the friends of MT Bryan.
 The Iowa republicans will readily re- nominate Governor Shaw. but there will be a hot fight for Senator Gears seat, who is an old man. but who desires to serve another term.
 Nebraska will elect supreme judge, and ex-Senator Allen will lead the allied democratic and populist forces This con- test is widely regarded as a presidential keynote.
 Mississippi will choose a legislature that will elect two United States senators. Pri- vate John NJ. Allen and Governor Me Laurin are candidates for the long term. and they are making the state hum with their canvasses. Selection by primaries has gained a secure foothold in fifty-five out of seventy-fve counties in the state.
 The New Jersey and Pennsylvania cleo tions lack importance, partly because there is not much at stake. In the former state this years legislature does not elect a United States senator, and in the latter only a state treasurer is to be elected.

Negro Suffrage in Alabama.

Governor Johnston's paper in the Inde- pendent is a wonderful example of self condemnation. He begins by showing tho need of white rule-its blessings and ad- vantages; and he concludes this branch of his paper with a condemnation of unlimited manhood suffrage. "As long as the law," he says, lis in such a state there is dan ger of some agitators stirring up the ne- groes to make trouble, so that a change is much to be desired"
 Why then did he take steps to snatch from the people an opportunity of making the change that he ardently desires? Why did he take steps that have indefinitely fastened upon the state the evils and dan gers that he deeply deplores?
 He practically condemns himself when he says: q called a special session of the legislature for the purpose of considering the question of repeating the act authoriz- ing the suffrage convention, and the legis- lature sat in Montgomery for fourteen days. The session ended three weeks ago after stormy debates. No amendment to the constitution on the suffrage matter could be agreed upon In other words, he confesses that constitutional revision in the interest of White Rule was fairly be- fore the people, that he interferred with the long desired remedy by calling an extra session of the legislature, and that the net result is a dangerous condition of affairs, involving the possibilities of negro rule, especially in thirteen central counties in the Black Belt. If this be not self condemnation, then the Age-Herald is-at. . loss to classify it.
 Governor Johnstos 5 paper is also re- markable for what it does not state. He sayg all the offices in the Black Belt coun- ties are filled by white men; but he neglects to state the fearful cost to public morals of the filling of those offices by white men under the law as it stands, that he him- self condemns.
 He frankly condemns manhood suffrage in theory, but in executive practice he ad- mits that he has perpetuated it in this state; for he admits in the Independent that he called an extra session, which took away from the people the power of con stitutional revision, giving them nothing instead. This is the whole case, and the people need not call any witnesses or em- ploy any advocates. They take judgment by confession, and Governor Johnston is the confessor.

sunsCRIPrIoN RATES.
New Modern Stacks Wanted.

The people of this district do not fully appreciate the change in the iron market. They do not fully know what it means 10 them. Gray forge, that was selling ono year ago at about six dollars a ton, is now worth at the furnace twelve dollars a ton, and every bit of the gain is clear profit to iron workers or furnace men or mine op- orators. Except what nonresident share holders may derive from the change in prices, the gain remains here. As fully 100000 tons of pig iron will this year be turned out in this district the gain is S7, 00O At the most nonresident share holders will not be able to gather in more than $1,2OO GOO of this amount leaving the clear gain of the district from the rise at S6,O00O GOO.
 The change in the prices of iron has come to stay a good while. It has come to stay at least until production can overtake con- sumption; and by the word "consumption, worlds consumption is meant, because America has become the chief source of supply for all the world. It is not plain that production will outrun consumption very soon. Furnaces will not as a rule be built in other countries, because all iron masters know that this country has the upper hand, and that in times of depres- sion this country will furnish the supply There may be a few German stacks that can produce iron in competition with Ala bama stacks in dull times, but there are not many of them. There are none in oth- CT countries.
 The conclusion is irresistible that cap't;.i will sooner or later sgss that this is the place where stacks of 5O0 or even 600 or 70O tons capacity should be erected ana no one need be surprised to hear any fine morning that such a stack will be built in this district. Where iron can be pro- duced cheaply such stacks should be built in order that American may, when the pinch comes again. be able to hold its own against German and English furnaces.

State Elections This Year.

Off year as this is, there are or soon will be eleven state campaigns in full progress with all steam on. They are to be fought out with all possible keenness, because each one will be more or less an index of the grand steeple-chase of next year. Six gov- States senators.
 In the New York election unimportant state officers and a legislature will be chosen only, but this election is regarded as very important, because it will go to show what the political standing of thls populous state is to be next year. The democrats are alert and they propose to make it plain that New York is normally democratic.
 Ohio elects a governor. Judge Nash, the republican nominee, has managed four campaigns, but he is handicapped with Hanna and the Hanna machine. He lacks magnetism, and is not in any respect a formidable candidate. The democratic convention has not been held, and if its nominee be an acceptable man, the demo- cratic cause will gain much additional support from the men who do not like the firm of Hanna & Cox, especially in the cities of Cleveland and Cincinnati.
 The Maryland contest involves a gov ernor and attorney general Governor Lowndes will be renominated by the repub- licans, who will despite the result in Bal timore, put up life-and-death fight again. The democratic nominations have not been made, but they will be made with the full expectation of victory.
 In Virginia the interest turns upon the selection of legislators, who are to elect a United States senator. It is the field against Senator Martin, who is politician of the wire-puller sort. His opponents de- mand primary elections of some sort, and Senator Martin naturally prefers the old and endless deals.
 The Kentucky contest is full of interest. The conventions will be held next month, when candidates for governor and other SIdlS OhltCelS VIII De SelScleu. 1ONeTnOr Bradley is not an aspirant for the repub- lican nomination but he is leading fac tion in that party and Dr. Godfrey Hunter is leading another.

From the scottsboro Age.

At the risk of having our motives ques- toned, we say hurrah for General Wheeler for governor of Alabama He is the very man who can allay all factions and win the fight. He would make a better gov ernor than he would a congressman. He is superbly fitted and qualified for the posi- tion of governor. His fine executive ability would place him in the front rank as an executive. He needs a change and we are decidedly in favor of it. The gubernator- ial office would open the door to him to the United States senate and he would go in beyond question.

From the Moulton Advertiser.

Two decades ago, before General Wheeler entered actively into politics, he told us repeatedly that 1t was the ambition of his life to become the governor of Alabama and we know of nothing that has trans- pired since then to base a change of opin- ion upon. True, he has built up a national reputation since that time-he has served ten years in congress and won fame at Santiago, but this is not like being the chief executive of our grand old state.
