Stacking the PeopIe.

The Montgomery Advertiser has on file
long records, and 1t has moreover long
memories in its service, and as last re-
sort the AgeHerald appeals to it to name
one instance in which a community in this
or any other State in this or any other
country, ever taxed itself into bankruptcy
and ruin" 1t can name without moving a
muscle instances in which communities
have bonded themselves into practical
bankruptcy, but we doubt indeed If it can
name single instance in which taxation
on the nail ever worked harm; certainly
not one in which the annual tax rate of
State, county or town wrought bank
ruptcy and ruin"
The Advertiser, while it has its hand in,
should also tell us why Limitation upon
taxation is necessary in this State when 1t
is not necessary in Louisiana. 1t is not con-
sidered necessary in the other States, but
for authorizations sake let the discussion
be confined to Louisiana, which recently
adopted a new constitution. The people of
gro vote, and SO will the people of Ala
bama when they frame and adopt a new
constitution. The Age-Herald desires to
know why limited taxation Is needful in
Alabama, when 1t is not needful in Louisi-
ana, which is full not only of negroes, but
of white ilnterates. We pause for a reply,
and the chances are very good that we will
pause a long time.
The Advertiser need not stop to tell us
what the public sentiment of the State is,
or what the proposed constitutional con-
vention will do. We have been told about
that several times. We are simply dis
cussing the abstract question of limited
taxation; and the Age-Herald will stand
converted if any instance of taxation on
the spot can be cited that resulted in waste
or harm or evil of any kind.

EDITOR AND POET

population of each city in figures that
would make the heart of local patriotism
ralpitate with pride and joy.

REFLECTIONS OF A DACHELoR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Lots of men succeed in business because
they have to make more money for their
wives to spend.
When David cut off Golaths head prob
ably you couldn't hear the cheering for
the noise of the women saying, II told you

There Is only one thing that makes wo-
man madden than a man that doesn't I'M
derstand her, and that is a man that does.
The best way for a woman to make a
man wonder why he ever wanted to marry
her is to let him know she wonders why
herself.
When women talk to each other about
their husbands "pajamas," all of them
think If the others told the truth they
would say "nightshirts."

Reorganization.

Since election tnere has been much
talk among eastern gold bug Democrats
OF. reorganiziag the Democratic party.
They make up but an insignificant por-
ton of its membership. They should
and will be given to understand that the
thing for them to do is to stop posing as
Democrats and 60 into the Republican
party where they belong.
All over the country, but especially in
states hopelessly Republican and trust
ridden, is to be found class Of people
like Geo. F. Washburn whose open letter
to the reform forces of the country is
printed in this issue. They are always
proposing some new party, some new
scheme. They controlled the last ma
tional Populist convention. Although
they knew they could not deliver sin
gle electoral vote they rode rough shod
over states like Kansas and Nebraska
where the only hope of party success
lay. Populists in states like Kansas
where results have been accomplished
will be very slow to abandon their organ
ization and follow the lead of such men
who never did and never can accomplish
anything. The proper thing to do now
is to continue The educational work which
has been going on since the days of the
alliance and which has already borne
much fruit, and await developments.
Before McKinley's administration ends
conditions will be such as to bring all
true patriots together. 1t will not be
under the leadership Of David B. Hill or
Geo. F. Washburn or men of this class
or from their locality.
