The political Hopper is abroad in the land
ALABAMA

From the New York World.
 The election in this southern State on Monday was one of those one-sided affairs that nullify in many respects some of the best features of the Republican system. The Democratic majority is enormous on a very light vote and the Republicans and Populists combined have only a dozen of the 1s3 members of the Legislature.
 The most important result of the election is the decision to hold a constitutional con- vention which will disfranchise the ignor- ant negro voters. If Alabama shall follow the example of Mississippi. Louisiana and

Secured Lincoln and Madison Counties
 All During the Day

Huntsville, August 10.-(Special )-The Lincoln County mob today has secured Lincoln and Madison Counties for the as salant of Mrs. Alonzo Gillham. Jim Scott, colored, was captured north of Gurley, but he proved to be the wrong man and was turned loose. Deputy Sheriff Johnston of Chattanooga reached the scene of the crime this morning with the Phipps bloodhounds, but the dogs would not work as the scent was cold. Private citizens have offered a reward of several hundred dollars for the capture of the negro, and Governor Nc Milan has been requested to offer one.

 From the New York Evening Post.
 Alabama has just had what is called a State election in the south-one of those oc- casions when as many Democrats go to the polls as feel like taking the trouble, and roll up tremendous majorities for their ticket. A few years ago the Populist party was strong in Alabama, but since the sur render of Democracy to Populist ideas, the old promoters of those ideas have largely returned to their old party. Republicanism counts for nothing in Alabama except as 6 device for getting federal offices, when there is a Republican President at Wash ington. The fewer there are in the party, the less trouble there is about distributing these and no real effort is male to poll a large vote. The Legislature just chosen will elect a United States Senator, but its action was determined long ago. The ques- tion whether Mir. Morgan should be given another term was raised last winter and decided in the Democratic primaries, the opposition being overwhelmingly beaten. Mir Morgan thus joins the class of men who have been elected to five successive terms in the Senate, and that despite the fact that he was in his fifty third year when he took his seat.

AMONG THE sHEAvES

E. E. Kitton.
 O Lord, the fields are ripe with corn,
 The laborer goeth singing;
 His joyful heart is heavenward borne,
 On music's pinion winging;
 The sky is fair, with here and there downy cloudburst sweeping;
 Lord, in this time of happy cheer What do I with my weeping? Oh. shame, among the golden sheaves
 To stain the day with mourning! Oh, shame on him who idly grieves, Gods harvest blessing scorning! The heavens above look down in love, The earth smiles back victorious; By hill and vale where'er you rove The harvest fields shine glorious. But on my soul a sadness lies, Made deeper by the story Of natures patient sacrifice Thus perfected to glory. Each faithful heart hath borne it's part, The autumn treasure sharing, But I, I only know the smart Of failure and despairing. O Lord, had all these weary days, These wasted weeks of grieving, Been spent in showing forth thy praise, had had corn for sheaving Not empty hand and empty land Had been my harvest measure, Nor sad and stricken should I stand, mark for thy displeasure. To, yet there comes thought to mel I see the poor and lowly, With pended head and pended knee Go gleaning, gleaning slowly. They did not SOW, they did not mowi Dropt ears is all they gather. Wouldst take such labor even now My gleanings, O my Fatherf

 It is already known that no town in the cotton States will cross the 100 600 line in this census. New Orleans has long been on the up side of that line, and it will nave no associate this year. The Age Herald still holds that Jefferson County, Alabama, will be the most populous county in the cotton States, Orleans parish of course excepted, and unless some county is prepared to show 150,OO0 population this claim will be made good by Director Merriam in due course of time.

MT. Bryan's speech is bound to produce a profound impression throughout the country. Up North the feeling against fm- peralism is much stronger, than it is down here with us, and his ringing words of elo- quence and patriotism will be caught up by every orator who takes the stump in that section. All of our foreign-born citi- zens, especially the Germans, are opposed to imperialism, and they are likely to rally to MT. Bryan at the November election.

Chaffee served with the Sixth Cavalry until July, 1888, more than a quarter of century, when he was made a. major and assigned to the Ninth (colored) Cavalry. He was with the Ninth for the next nine years, when he was again promoted and became the lieutenant colonel of the Third Cavalry on June 1, 1897. He was serving with the Third when the war with Spain began. General officers were needed and Lieutenant Colonel Chaffee was one of the first to be appointed brigadier general of volunteers. He was commissioned on May 4, 1898, and commanded a brigade from Las Guasimas to Fl Caney It was at Fl Caney that the general fought his latest fight and won new laurels.

 Every Democrat in the Union can follow 0 standard bearer who sets forth such sound doctrine, and it is just what the great fathers of American Democracy have ever taught. It was such sound doe Urine that made up the burden of MT. Bry- ans declaration of principles when called on by the representatives of the party yesterday to set forth his creed. It was ably done. What he said was admirable and it was eloquently expressed. It was a most suspicious beginning of a real Dem ocratic campaign.

MT. Bryan's speech is a notable one clear of the tricks of oratory-and the party must stand or fall upon it. It is the keynote of his own selection, and the sound of it is unmistakable.
 It is hard, of course, to tell what view a majority of the people in the mass, of the pivotal States, will take of this new issue, but the indications seem brighter for Bryan than four years ago.

COMMENTS ON MR
 BRYAN'S SPEECH
From the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
 Colonel Bryan made a splendid speech this afternoon at Indianapolis in accepting the nomination of the Democratic party for President. The meeting was the most im- portant political conference of the year. It 1 was held in Indiana as good battle ground and as the neighboring State to Illinois, the
 home of General Stevenson. MT. Bryan
 made the principal address, of course, and he confined himself almost entirely to the issue of imperialism. In 1896 he devoted himself mainly to free silver. Today the burden of his song was 'the republic and
 not the empire" In reply to the argument that Admiral .Dewey's naval victory made
 it incumbent upon us to keep the Philip pines MT. Bryan shrewdly said that our
 naval victory at Santiago did not make 1t
 incumbent upon us to keep Cuba. We are
 right now getting ready to turn Cuba over
 to it's own people. And, yet, we have maoe a campaign of conquest in the Philippines and have resolved to hold them forever. The Press regrets that 1t cannot this af- l ternoon give MT. Bryan's speech entire. It is a notable production and will be read all over the country with great interest. MT. Bryan Is a fearless speaker He argues lucidly, illustrating everything that he touches, and his words are eagerly waited by the people of this country. It would not be surprising to see the State of Hen
 dricls throw it's electoral vote for Bryan
 and Stevenson in the November election
 Four years ago the notification meeting
 was held in New York, in "the enemy's
 country" so to speak. Today is was held
 in the center of the middle west, where the
 battle will wage fercest and where MT.
 Bryan proposes to devote his efforts princi-
 pally in the campaign.

Kept Busy on the Frontier

Almost immediately after the war Chaf- fee was sent to Texas with his regiment to put down some bushwhackers and border thieves who were committing depredations in Texas and Mexico. As an illustration of his collection of trophies two large revol- vers which belonged to the two leaders of the gang, which were taken from them just before they were hanged. After that he re- mained on the frontier fighting Indians, whenever they needed fighting until 1S76 Then he was sent to New York for year on recruiting duty. Then he joined the regiment In Arizona, fought the battle of Big Dry Wash Canon against the Apaches.
 While he was fighting these intermittent campaigns on the frontier Chaffee had oc- casion to go to Junction City, Kan, now and again business. On one of these visits he met Miss Annie Rockwell, the se-
 ond daughter of Major George Rockwell
 merchant and banker. In 1874 Miss Rock
 we'll and Captain Chaffee were married. The usual life of the young army officer on the frontier was the life which Chaffee led, including the I ndian fighting, until 1885, when Brigadier General Crook was ordered to fit out an expedition to capture the Apache chief Geronimo. Chaffee's troop was detailed to go with the expedition. willy Geronimo leading his pursuers a merry chase through Texas and into Mexico, back into Texas again and again into Mexico, General Crook didn't succeed In capturing the Apache. but he kept him mighty busy

Mitchell is Dead.

J. E. Mitchell, who shot and killed Charles Devers Tuesday afternoon, died peacefully at the Lansing House at 12:3O, Thursday afternoon, from paralysis of the brain.
 The second chapter of the recent tragedy has created but little less sur- prise than the first. Since the affair of Tuesday Mitchell has suffered much pain from the injuries inflicted upon him at the time Devers assaulted him., but it was not thought that the result would prove fatal. His nose was broken and his face badly cut, and the swelling rendered his face ghastly picture of distortion. Up until this morning he had slept but very little, owing to the in- tense pain, but during the forenoon to- day he lapsed into deep slumber which continued until death came to his relief. At :45 Dr. Hayes called and found Mitchell sleeping soundly, his pulse reg ular and respiration normal. Three quarters of an hour later he was dead. That his death was caused by the terrific blows which he received from his assail ant of Tuesday seems beyond question. The wounds, the suffering and the re- suit speak mutely for themselves.
 Public sympathy has been going in Mitchell's favor ever since the full de- tails were known. He came here from | Carthage at the time of the excursion, and while but little was known of him the impression was very favorable. His mission here was to establish local agents for a patent window fastener. Public opinion appears to strongly sustain the decision of the police court, that he was made the unsuspecting victim of a plot which miscarried.-T Echo.
 Later developments as to the cause of Mitchell's death revealed the fact that he committed suicide by taking nor phine. He left a letter exonerating him. self from blame for the killing of Devers. He declared he was made the victim of a blackmailing scheme.

SUPERINTENDENT of Public h. struction Doyne calls attention to to the fact that the legislature at it's last session made no appropri- ation for holding teachers insti- tutes or county normals. The department of education is there fore, dependent solely upon the fund given by the trustees of the Peabody fund for this purpose, This fund is not sufficient for the holding of an institute in each county in the state every year. Last year institutes were held for white teachers in thirty four counties; this year the remaining forty-one counties are given in : stitutes. Teachers in counties where no institutes are held are are expected to attend the one most conveniently located in an adjoining county.
