opened, and ere long the woods will be
 full of speakers. This Is all useless work, it seems to us, for the new Constitution
 will be ratified by the usual Democratic
 majority.-FalKville Chronicle
 The great question of the adoption or
 reflection of the new Constitution Is no
 place for the dipping in of the political demeg gogue. This is matter of vital in-
 terest to the whole people of Alabama, and they should pay no heed to the ha- rangue of the sore-head politicians, but should read and think for themselves.-- Greenville Advocate.
 Messrs Shelley, Johnston & Go. have failed to make out a case, and they are endeavoring to play upon the supposed prejudices of one section of the State against another, while their whole stock in trade consists of nothing more than a lot of false assumptions and glaring in- constituencies. Such campaign is an in- suit to the intelligence and manhood of North Alabama--Eutaw Mirror.
 The campaign for the ratification of the new Constitution has begun. and the speakers are greeted by large crowds everywhere, which shows that the great majority of the people feel deep inter est in the ratification. Every day brings less opposition. and 1t is already very evident that General Shelley Ss Co. will find few followers when they start their campaign.-Choctaw Herald.
 If tine papers are expressing the thoughts and sentiments of the people, the new Constitution will be ratified by a large majority, and ex-Governor John ston, Shelly and ex-Congressman Stall- ings will be allowed to remain in private life a good while longer The chances are not good for the people rising up en masse and electing any one of the above named distinguished gentlemen to high ofice.-Wilcox Era.
 While the Constitution is not in every respect just what might have been de- sired, we should recognize the fact that to meet the views of every individual is manifestly impossible, and if we find by comparison that the new is better as q whole than the old we should be willing to yield our opinions on minor points for the common good. The Journal has given the instrument considerable study and is convinced that 1t is vastly better in many respects than the old. and for that req son will do all that 1t can honorably to secure it's ratiication.-Monroe Journal.
 Now Is the time, says the typewriter, for every good man to come to the aid of his party. And never could this home ly and easily written phrase be more aptly quoted nor more profitably taken to heart than at the present time. For many years the Democratic party of Ala bama has recognized the necessity of a new Constitution and has worked hard in and in Legislature for the creation and adoption of one that would put an end to- or would at least mitigate, the many evils necessarily existent under the present Constitution. And that the Constitution now placed before the peo- pie for ratification or rejection serves its purpose, especially in the treatment of the suffrage question. there can be no Times.

A NORWAY COMPLICATION
Divorce Suit which the Town
Is Backing.

South Paris, February 2l.-one of she
most peculiar cases to come before an OK
ford county court came up for trial this
torenc on, when the contested divorce suit
of Richard Il. Merrill VS., Gertrude Mer-
rin was called in the Supreme Judioisl
court here. The jury was dismissed and
the trial was begun before the presiding
lustice. Owing to the almost unprece-
dentsd complications In the case, the
town of Norway defends Mrs. MERRILL In
the suit and has engaged Judge Enoon
Foster and several associate attorneys to
protect her interests.
This is the case in which Merrill and
his family were taken to the almshouse
DIV order Of the Norway authorities, sew
eral months ago, at time when MIR.
Merrill was earning good wages in a
local shoe factory.
AT that time he objected to being taken
to the institution, claiming that he was
able to support himself and was not
pauper, and acting upon the advice OF
&C unset he left that afternoon. He had
instituted divorce proceedings against
MS HhCg aAC3 aus 1~
to contribute to her support.
MIR. Merrill was the tirst witness called
TO the stand this forenoon. He said he
was married 90 the Nbelee at Yarmouth,
Me-, In 1882, and since that time they
had liveds In Lynn. Macs, Mechanic
Falls and Norway. He said he learned
that his wife was unfaitfhul to him with
In one year after their marriage, and
told OF numerous occasions since that
time when she had been, he claimed,
unfaithfuI to her marriage vows. Last
June he decided that he would stand 1t
no longer and warned his wife to leave
the house. She went to her sisters In
west Bethel, hut a month later was
brought back by officers OF that town and
placed In his house during his absence.
She was In poor health and he allowed
her to rsmain until she regained her
strength. During her absence from the
house one day he locked all the doors and
refused TO allow her to enter. When she
secured admittance Thy the assistance Of
officsrs, witness went away and refused
to furnish the neoessaries Of life for his
wife. The family then was taken to the
almshouEe by force, he protesting that
he was not n pauper. That afternoon he
left the place by advice OF his alto rney.
The main point alleged by the defend
ant was that MIR. Merrill was very ieaI-
GUS and continually watched his wife,
maRnifying common civilities into ac-
tions OF questionable character. Mrs.
Merrill denied her husbands accusations
OF infioeIity and declared that she had al
ways been faithful wife After hearing
the arguments for both sides the court re-
served It's decision.

BECoMING LErr-HANDED.

(Burlingtor , Ia. Gazette)
Standing on me front platform Of an
eIsctrio car this morning, sheltered from
the cold by the glass windows of the ves-
tibule, a Gazette reporter had his atten-
ton drawn to peculiar fact by an officer
Of the road who stood at his side, Inc
moterman had just let her out couple
Of notches to begin the long ascent Of
Division street when the railway man
said:-
"Unless the present style of trolly cars
go out of vogue they are going TO develop

am not joking" he continued, while the
sturdy man handling the car Changed the
bell 10 warn a careless pedestrian.
~ am simply stating fact II you
will notice the motorman You Will OBJ
serve that he kesps his left hand on the
crank which controls the current brake.
The reason for such an arrangement Ia
that the brake crank requires consider
able N anipulation, but the current reg
ualRtor comes into play ten times as often
ana has TO be moved at much greater
speAd AS a matter of fact, the operator
is continually shifting 1t to and fro for
tho purpose of increasing or decreasing
the power, and a sort OF dial, over which
the handle moves, tells him Exactly how
much elect richly he is calling into play at
any given moment. All that demands

straight pull.
1.-The natural consequence OF such an
unequal division OF labor is to transfer
the dexterity OF the right hand TO the
left, and with many OF the older men 1t
has already become noticeable. l first
had my attention called TO the subject
by watching four motormen playing a
game of pool. Two of them held their
cues In their left hands, one used both
hands impartialIy, and the other played
in the ordinary manner, l questione d
the first three and asked WHISTLER they
were left handed They replied no, and
could give no special explanation of
their manner In holding the cue. They
said it came kind OF natural,
"That led me Co do little iuvestigat

A reply In French was received, the

announces;
"A lowered tariff, the same as that up

commercial treaties had been concluded
