WE PROTEST.

The Richmond Times precipitates it. Beif into the discussion thus:
 we desire to break into the discussion concerning the rabbit and the wabbiing nose sons enough to tell a story: once upon a Time there was a Lunatic. He lived in the Country and he made him self up like March Hare. He said to a Man: I will tell you how to catch a Rab- biS..Ayou hide behind Hedges and you make Noise like Turnip. Then when the Rabbits come you catch them by their taEs and hold them fast Now, will our wise contemporaries tell us why a rappat likes the nose of a turnipI pI-------------- We protest against such undue levi fation, and object to the injection of frivolous matter into this momentous subject--a subject which has become national and may become international. We do not propose to have the rabbit hose discussion laughed out ~of court, or shunted off the track. Those who want to discuss 1t with the seriousness which it's gravity demands may shy tn .irs castors into the ring, but we put them on notice that fables and ridicule don't go. There are profound ques- tious of anatomy and philosophy in- volved. and possibly a suggestion of remote peculiarities which made sueh action Aon the part of Lepus Sylyatica . necessary part of their existence. If 8 sontemporary or correspondent has aAything to say which will shed light on the matter let them saypit or for eysrs hold their peace.

1.-THE DYING LIE"

The people of,Alabama will probably ren.ember that for a long time The Living Truth of Greenyille. was the Popuiite organ in that section of the State. old man Whitehead founded it and gave it the anomalous name 1t has carried.
 It was never a model of truth or manners. in any respect, and since the death of its founder 1t has not im- proved. It has passed into the hands of another man who seems to be ann bilious to out-Herod his predecessor in the art of mud -sliaging and to turn it into "The Living Lie"
 The last issue of this journalistic 4cuttlefish turns loose it's black streams against The Advertiser. We will not offend the eyes and noses of our read CTS by reproducing its articles in full. as is our custom when We allude to the criticism of our contemporaries. The occasion of its wrath is The Ad- vertiser's comments on the Butler County Grand Jury's recent whitewash of the county officials in the face of Judge Kichardson's vigorous charge. The most dignified expressions in the billingsgate sheet are these. which give an idea of its attitude: 70
 Shame on you, Montgomery Advertiser; you have brought the press of the State into discredit by shyster-like trumpins up charges without shadow of proof. by taking the part of the very worst type of humanity against honest officials and all for mean, petty spite and little passing notoriety. Shame! Shame!
 Did The Advertiser trump up charges when its staff correspondent went to Greenville and copied the court re- cords?
 Were The Advertisers charges trumped up when Assistant State Ex- aminer Woods went to Greenville and virtually verified them in his report to the Governor?
 Were The Advertisers charges trumped up when Chief State Exami- ner German made an exhaustive re- port 6f the irregularities in the trial and conviction of the scores of tramps Were The Advertisers trumped-up charges exploded when Governor Sam ford, after their confirmation by the Examiners, went ahead and pardoned over fifty of the victims of the Butler County officials money-making meth- ods?
 Were The Advertisers charges, the Examiners reports and Governor Sam lords action such proof of the good ness and greatness of the officials that the Circuit Judge felt called upon to impress the Grand Jury with the need of an investigation?
 These questions answer themselves. Public opinion has made up it's verdict in the matter, and The Living Truth, whose Editor is a brother-in-lawo of one of the officials and was on the Grand Jury cannot change that verdict by | its abuse of The Advertiser.

norsN,T HURT m.

Mir. smalley, the New York corre- srondent of The London Times, se- ve.ely criticises ex President Cleveland. which leads The Nashville American to say:
 England and America are firm friends, and Grover Cleveland has as much to do with 1t as any man. He opened England's s eyes And he established, or rather re- established. the Monroe doctrine. From this time forward no European nation will attempt forcible aggression on Amer- can soil. if it does, 1t knows beforehand 1t will incur the resentment of the Amert- can people.
 All the Americans. North, Central and Cleveland and his great Secretary, Rich ard olney. who shares the honors or the Venezuelan controversy with him.
 For small minds to criticise and mis- represent Mir. Cleveland is perhaps natural, but he has the satisfaction of knowing that they do him no injury, and that the best and truest sentiment of the American people Is with him. When he sent his famous Venezuelan message to England tin,id people held their breath, and weak people prepared tn hunt cover, but the English Gov ernment and statesmen saw they had a man to deal with who would not compromise the honor and the rights of the United States Government, or shrink from any responsibility. The result proved that Cleveland was right, and that he had not miscalcuiated the effects of his policy. The American people sustained him, and no adverse criticism can change the facts of his- tory.

Mckinley Sees No Danger.

Kansas City Star.
 While it cannot be asserted that MT. Mckinley is himself greedy or a sor- did man, it cannot be denied that he seems to regard the rapid growth of wealth in this country as of more inl- portance than anything else He does not see, in the tremendous accumula- ton of riches that is going on. the pos sibility of danger This tendency of the President to emphasize the desira- bility of thrift may be accounted for largely by the political school in which he has been trained. and of which he is now the chief exponent.

May Be Settled A1nicably.

Chicago. May 11.-It was asserted to- day by business agent Roderick of the International Machinists Association that the strike of Illinois Central ma chinists which has been threatening would probably be settled amicably. A compromise was reached today be- tween officials of the road and repre- sentatives of the men. What conces- sions were made could not be learned. It is stated that the full advance of 12 1-2 per cent was not granted.

Will Be Done Anyhow.

EIba Clipper.
 A proposition will be made to the Constitutional Convention to have the proceedings of the body recorded by stenographers and daily reports tyre written for the use of the convention. The idea may be good, but practically the same work will be done free by The Montgomery Advertiser if that paper publishes the proceedings as carefully and comprehensively as it usually does the proceedings of the Legislature. Of course, The Advertiser does not give full report, but it gies a substantially complete synopsis of legislative pro- ceedings.

The United States Government spends millions of dollars on its postal service and no doubt those who carry the mails on the large lines are well paid fer the work, but that some of the rural contractors work very chesply is shown by this example given by The Hartford (Conn.) Courant:
 A man who is married and has fam iIv 10 support out in Litchfield County has the contract for carrying the mails over d route that measures about twenty one miles He supplies the horse and wagon and for all this he Is paid e2 cents day. Al while ago the wagon broke down and the carrier had to take to his horses back, as his surplus did not Jus tify repairs to the rolling stock.

Our brethren of the weekly press will pardon us if we make gentle suggestion. When your press tusns out a copy that no one can possibly read please send it to some non-paying sub- scriber and not to The Advertiser. our Exchange Editor designs to so careruily over every Alabama paper which comes to the office. but when he picks up one which could only be deciphered by the aid of an X-ray, he drops 1t into the trash pile. This request is earnest and well meant.

 It may not cost any more to raise fine chicken than 1t does to raise g common one, but 1t costs great deal more to eat one.-Montgomery Adver- tiser.
 It depends upon who does the "rais- ing as to the cost. Our cylinder press engine informs us that the proper time to raise" either a fine or a com mon fryer, is a dark night and half chance. The cost is comparatively nothing.

ANOTHER SURPRISE.

A nan in New York whose tongue wass,entirely removed on account of caircerous growth. has not only re covered but can talk almost, as nlainIy as ever. That Is the report which comes to us, and we are somewhat diztlrbed over 1t. We have not had ali the details of the affair, and don't know whether the man now talks with his lips or some other organ. All we have seen is that his tongue was taken out and that he can talk without it.
 What we want to get at is to know what organs a human being can dis pense with. of those which have here tofore been considered essential. Pass ind by the fact that some men appear to get along pretty we'll without brains. we have some recent instances of per- fsons who are apparently getting on without stomachs, though the experi- ments in this line are too few and too recent for us to feel certain of the re- suit. Of course we know, too, that people live without arms, without feet, without eyes, and even without noses, but, that isn't the point. If a man without any feet or legs should get up and walk, or being without arms and hands should play baseball, or having no eyes, should be found gazing at the stars through a telescope. it would { be looked on as a wonderful occur renee.
 But it seems to us that nothing of this character would be more unex- pected or unexplainabIe than that man whose tongue had been entirely removed should talk plain United States. There are some languages that one might talk with two sticks. so far as being understood is concerned, but the patient in this case. according to the brief report we have seen. speaks pretty plainly and easily, only slightly slurring some vowel sounds. but pro- nouncing all the words so as to be easily understood.
 If this experiment is all genuine, and the facts are as stated, it Is going to compiicate things. What good will there be in telling a man to hold his tongue. if he has none to hold? T wish his tongue was cut out!" will be useless as applied to one who talks too much. when 1t becomes fashionable to carry on conversation without what has heretofore been considered H nee. essary adjunct to speech. The poet, Milton tells of "atry tongues that syllable men g names" and this New York mans seems to be; in that class. Sor that's all the kind he has. Alto Aether it's a strange and peculiar case. Ahd furnishes another evidence of the H3yancement in the sciences and arts.

We hope that the Constitutional Convention which meets May Fist will provide that the great bulk of minor local legislation shall be done by the commissioners courts of the various counties.
