STICKING TO A FALsEHooD.

It is strange, indeed, that newspar per possessing the opportunities for as- certaining the truth which The New Bedford Standard possesses should, al- low itself to be responsible for such a statement as this:
 Apparently the virginians who are mem bers of the Constitutional Convention re- fuse to take the oath of alleg ance to the United States because they want to De free to violate that Constitution. Can IL be that they have not yet learned that a citizen of the United States Is under oD- ligation to obey the Constitution wnetnsr he makes oath to that effect or not The Virginians make a poor exhibition or loy- alty. while they endorse dangerous po- litical heresy.
 It has been repeatedly explained py Virginia papers. as well as by others. that the intimation contained in the above Is wholly untrue. but that can- not prevent its repetition in the North ern press. The members of that Con- vention were not under obligation to take any official oath, and as honor able men they could not take the in famous oath prescribed by the Under wood State Constitution. That is the truth of the matter and The Standard and others of its jaundiced way Of looking Southward could both ascer- tain and state the truth if so disposed.

He Has no Clearer Idea Than in
 1898.

Chicago Chronicle.
 MT. Jones of Arkansas, chairman or the Democratic National Committee, has arrived in Washington with no clearer ideas concerning Democratic duty and responsibility than he had one year or five years ago.
 In regard to every question now De- fore the country the most that he can suggest Is that the Democratic party should take advantage of Republican divisions and, therefore. constitute it. self a sort of relief corps to one Re- publican faction or another.
 This Is exactly what has brought the Democratic party to it's present unhap" py condition. The surrender of Demo- cratic principles for the purpose of ad- yancing some modification of Repub- licanism has characterized the manage ment of the party ever since the des- tructive alliance with populism was inaugurated in 1896.
 During the sessions of the Congress which expired last March no Demo- cratic measure of importance was ad- vanced by anybody. It is evident from the views expressed by Chairman Jones that there is to be no improve ment in this respect!
 So-calIed Democratic leadership Is in reality popuiistic leadership. It Is weak, ignorant and anti-Democratfc. It finds such inspiration as it has in renegade republicanism and nondes- cript socialism. It concerns itself with Republican disagreements and invaria- bly allies itself with that faction of the Republican party which Is most fanati- cal, radical, emotional and dangerous.
 What else Is to be looked for from a management which finds no one out side of Arkansas worthy to enter the lists with MT. Hanna of Ohio?

OUR FUTURE SAFE.
Birmingham Satisfied That Mont
 gomery Has Life.

@sE Birmingham Ledger: 5 ,. ..
 Montgomery has secured $4O,000 of the $2oO,O ,OO0 necessary to secure, her new and larger hotel. Montgomery has shown herself q progressive town dur ing the past two years and her future is now as secure as any city of the South. ,ReopIe make the city and good people make the good city, Just as pro gressiVe people make the progressive city, Just so long as Montgomery Is not d one-man town Just that long will she grow, and every years growth puts her further out of the power of few men to control. Montgomery will get to her forty thousand mark by the next census and she is doing the very things to insure that growth. There was a day when Montgomery was called an historic town. That has passed. and we all recognize her as a town of today and ot tomorrow and of the great future.
 Montgomery needed an auditorium and she built 1t. Now comes this need for a great hotel and she will have it. She will have that Carnegie labrary and she will haWe that great hospital of the Sisters Of Charity. She already has the Masonic Temple and a hand some government building and the State capitol.
 All that Montgomery needed was to have Birmingham come along to act as a pace setter and she at once took to the pace just as if she had never been a settled town. But for these exhibitions of her reserve power the capital would have been moved and the future conventions would have met here. even though Birmingham did not care for them.
 But Montgomery has shown that the breath of eternal lifa is In her and Birmingham earnestly congratulates her on the fact

THE "aRANDFATHER CLAUSE
Should Have No Place in the New
 Constitution.

Birmingham News.
 Speaking of the grandfather clause" a correspondent of The Montgomery Advertiser, who signs himself "Optim- ist." points out these objections to it:
 . The Louisiana plan has also got some brilliant advocates. It's a taking plan--at the first sight. It seems to be popular where 1t has not been tired. Where they have tried 1t, the ap- proval Is not unanimous. It provides a general suffrage restriction. Then, in an additional clause, 1t further provides that no one shall be subject to this restriction whose ancestors voted be- fore '67. This Is supposed to let in all the white people who can't meet the general test. That is what it does, in theory. But that Is not what 1t does In practice. The white people who can- not meet the general test have in large numbers flatly refused to avail them. selves of this grandfather clause. They are quick to see that the very pleading of this clause is the confession of deficiency. The using of the exemp- tion is the admission of poverty ana illiteracy, and they don't want to make any such formal admission. The more intelligent and capable the voter. the more sensitive he is. The renegades, the men without standing or sell spect, will vete right along. TOT they have neither personal nor family prlde' But the very class of white illite:ates that ought to vote-the worthy. self respecting country people-is the very class kept out by the grandfather clause
 The above statement bears only on the impracticability of the "grandfatn- CT clause" in that 1t fails to accomp, Iiah what it is intended to do. A stlli more serious objection, as The News has pointed out. IS that it discriminates unjustly in favor of a certain class. It confers a privilege by heritage which smacks of nobility, a condition alto eether repugnant to republican admin istra tons. And yet this very privilege could tustly feel proud-a privilege of ignorance or poverty.
 The grandfather clause" should navs no place m Alabama's new Constitu- ton. 1t would be standing advertise- menr of illiteracy or poverty among our white population.

MISTAKES OF NEWSPAPER
 WRITERS.

Some of our confreres on the State press are not as we'll informed on facts, figures and dates as all of us should be. One of our exchanges, but we have forgotten which one, stated a day or two ago that Hon. J. K. Jackson served as Railroad Commissioners four years. and even the usually we'll in- formed Mobile Register cuts him off with only one term as Secretary of State. instead of two.
 The Hotel Lobbies" man of The Age Herald recently had something to say of the old home of Governor Bibo at Coosada, and referred to it as still standing in the grove of ancient oaks. The house was. totally destroyed by fire several years ago.
 The same writer makes traveller" tell him that w. l.. Yancey shot and killed Earle about fifty years ago. and that after getting out of the trou- ble caused by the killing Mir. Yancey removed to Alabama, settling in the neighborhood of Montgomery" The killing was in 1887, about seventy-five years ago, and MT. Yancey had already moved to Alabama and wass living at Cahaba, which can hardly be consid- cred in 'tthe neighborhood of Mont eornery." He did not come to this city until 1S46 or 1s47.
 It is well to be accurate, when we can. and especially when we are deal- ing with history and historical char acters.

WOULD TRUST THE PEOPLE.
saua Tine Tnscaloosa Times:


 Since the Constitutional Convention and the General Assemblies of Alabama are afraid of the people" in the matter or raising the salary of the Governor to nominal living income 1t would De gooo idea to submit the question to the people and let them decide it by popular vote. We believe the Governor would then get his 1000 per year. tt
 The Advertiser believes the matter might safely be left to an unbiased decision on the part of the people of Alabama and they would vote to pay the Governor fair salary. The people are not nearly so stingy towards their public servants as some would have it appear, and could be trusted with the question of salaries.
 We know that some of the best and fairest men in the Convention oppose the movement to fix the Governors salary because they believe that is prerogative of the General Assembly with which the Convention ought not to interfere. and while we appreciate and respect their position we feel no hesitation in assuring them that legislature will not do it. And to leave each session of the General Assembly to fix the salary to suit the ideas of the members would be very unsatisfac- tory and unfair business.
 The argument advanced by some that good men will seek and accept the office at the present salary is not the kind of argument that sensible and fair minded men ought to use. If 1t were proposed to let the office out to the lowest bidder we suppose men could be found who would take it at one thousand dollars a year, and possibly there would be good men who would be willing to gratify an honorable am- bition by seeking the office without re- gard to the salary, but when an office is so poorly paid that none but rich men can afford to take 1t. grave in- justice is done to the State as well as to men of slender means who are not able to afford the luxury of an office for which they are well fitted and in vice. And while. as before stated. we believe sthere are good and just men in the Convention who favor relegating the question to the General Assembly, and who believe that that body will vote the Governor fair remuneration we are equally firm in the belief that these good men are mistaken, and that they will not see such action taken by any legislature. The Advertiser Is not an advocate of high salaries on general principles. but 1t does insist that our Governors are not paid enough, and vention has a right to raise the salary. If that body gives the people no more cause for complaint than would be done by this act they will be content with it's work

 Brother Long, from Walker County, has given voice to the cause of the op- position among the members of the Constitutional Convention to the stenographic report of It's proceedings T do not believe we should have a political record there in black and white that some of the delegates will have to be lodging for twenty years to come says Brother Long, and we are of the opinion that he is correct in his diagnosis of the case. That stenographic report has already made more than full returns to the people for the amount invested. 1t has, no doubt, kept down many things that would have taken shape detrimental to the interest of the people, for 1t Is so easy to deny the accuracy of news paper reports.
