MIsrAKEN REPUBLICANS.

The Birmingham Times may properly be looked on as the organ of the Black Republican Party of Alabama, meaning those who prefer conditions as they ex- ,sted under the old Constitution when the negro was one of the assets of the Re- publican Party, to be used in whatever way the office-seeker and office-hunters decreed. On account of the position 1t occupies the following from last weeks issue Is interesting:
 Of course The Times Is not expected to know, and does not know, what Gen eral Shelley and his associates expect to do in the future as regards party organl- zation, but the Republicans of the State would welcome the acquisition of so great 4 following as General Shelley had m his campaign against ratitcatlon. as 1t consists of the large majority ot the white voters of Alabama. and would also be delighted to see the so-called Republi- can organization in this State pushed oil the log by General Shelley and his asso- ciates" With such an acquisition and leadership Alabama would soon be count ed in the Republican States of the Union. and on the other hand if the Gen eral and his associates should organize and gain the control of the Democratic
 
 organization and thus force those now in control of the Democratic organiza- ton out of power. they might, i'll that event, seek to enter the Ropuhcan party l and they would be welcome, but our present Republican organization, bad as it is. would not be given up for them. ] They are only politicians, and if political bosses come into our party they must come in as privates, in the ranks and not as leaders. but if a great movement of the people such as led by General | Shelley and his associates, should want | to join our party, nine-tenths of the Re publicans would follow leadership of l an organization perfected by them.
 The statement that The Times had nc knowledge of General Shelley's wishes oi designs is probably insincerc. The Gen
 eral has too much shrewdnes as d poliu | cal manipulator to originate d movemen
 in opposition to the Democratic Part, of Alabama without knowing where hi
 support was to come from. He calcu
 lated on uniting the disaffected Demo
 crats with the Republicans, white anc

REFUsED TO BE ATTACHED.

The Huntsville Tribune, Republican, which strongly advocated the ratification' of the new Constitution, very decidedly negatives the imputation that the ReT nublicans of Alabama will allow them- selves used as a tail to the kite of the antis. It says:
 The Tribune is on the ground, knows how the land lies, and never intends 10 advise the Republicans of the State 10 Iall upon the bosom of Governor Johnston or General Shelley for succor or protectlon' We know them of old, know their meth- ods, and they shall never use us as tail to their kite with which to accom- plish a selfish end If good in the new l Constitution deal can come to the Hepuo- lican Party in Alabama, it is the result | ing influence of the ratification of Con | stitution which has lifted the illlterate negro from our political backs together | with all the entailed race prejudice incl dental to his political existence. If MT. Johnston and Shelley want negro en- franchisement, they want 1t solely TOT selfish purposes, want it to count thelr way as often as they have counted It.
 Both General Shelley and ex-Governor Johnston have a good deal to say about making their fight inside the Democrat ic Party" but we all know that they did not make the fight against ratification inside the party. They used both white and black Republicans when and where they could, and We have no reason to be- leve that they will hesitate to go out side the Democratic Party for help in their efforts to reinstate themselves in power and office. If they do not use ev- erything and everybody in their desper- ate contest against the Democratic Party they have changed their mind.
 We cannot blame The Tribune for re- fusing to be mixed up with, or used oy' the Johnston Shelley machine, for no ben eft could come to the Republicans through such combination. They would play the part of the poor cat when the
 monkey wanted to rake chestnuts out or
 the fire, and all they would get out or II
 would be burnt paws. We admire The
 Tribunes grit and it's determination not
 to be utilized to further the schemes oi
 defeated and disgruntled politicians.

Letters to The Editor.
HON. W. H. SANFORD
Will Not Be a Candidate for Attor
 ney General.

Troy, Ala, Nov. 25. Editor The Advertiser.
 There has been some mention or my name, by partial friends over the State' in conns ction with the race Tor Attorney General In the coming campaign, ana the office being an honor of which any lawyer might we'll be proud, I took the matter under advkement Owing to the active campaign for the ratification or thes new Constitution and the reduir or that campaign on me, l have delayed some what in making decision, ana naVlns now reached a conclusion I deem this the proper method of informing my friends that I will not be a candidate for the honor. While have had every assurance from friends throughout the State that they would stand by me in the contest, and while I believe their efforts would. at least, have made success entirely pos sible, the acceptance of the office would be too great a sacrifice Of my material interest at this time.
 If I saw any good to the State that l could accomplish by being Attorney Gen eral I would not hesitate to make the ef- fort to attain 1t, but others of my friends, both worthy and competent, are candidates for the position, either of whom would doubtless fill the office &C., ceptably. I sincerely thank each of my friends for their expressions of confi- dence and the tender of their support and I assure them that when occasion offers I will not show lack of apprecia- tion. I am at all times and under all circumstances ready to serve my State, my friends or my party. but at this time I feel that l can do so without being a candidate for any office. Yours truly,
 William H. Sanford.

 The boot and shoe manufacturers are now forming Free Hides Leagues, and demanding the repeal of the 15 per cent. duty on hides but they say nothing about reducing the 25 per cent. duty on boots and shoes. In like manner the woollen manufacturers are ready to welcome free wool but still cling to 100 per cent. duties on woolen goods. The attitude of the manufacturers in nearly all lines is selfish. narrow-minded, and short-sighted The people at large, the great body of intelligent public-spirited citizens. who have no interest to sub serve except justice and the welfare of | their country, must erelong realize that the whole scheme of protection is wrong, that the country has outgrown it, and that it now serves only to foster trusts, increase the cost of living, and handicap our entry into the worlds markets.

prNoMrNArE GOV. JELKs.

During the last few months there has been considerable discussion in the press of the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- ton for next year.
 This discussion has to a considerable extent been the outcome of a quiet move ment to find a candidate who could suc- cessfully oppose Governor Jelks For the renomination he was long ago so frank as to avow his ambition to secure. There is no doubt that there has been great activity Tn some quarters in this direction.
 So far this undertaking has been failure and we believe that it will not succeed in the future. In fact the an- nouncement of General Shelley that he and his "associates'' propose to re- organize" the Party, to start an indepen- dent movement, is practically declara- ton that he and his associates" have abandoned all hope of controlling the Democratic nominations from Governor down to constable next year. Not be- ing able to run the Party in their own interest, they propose to organize one Of their own.
 The Advertiser believes that Governor Jelks is entitled to the nomination next year, and that he will get it. He has made an excellent executive so far. He is a man of abundant capacity, and he has shown himself devoted to the best interests of the State. He has not tried to use the office for any individual pur- pose. He has had his whole heart wrapped up in getting new Constitu- ton. and he has contributed a vast deai toward that result, not only before ana durinx the Convention, but on the stump in the campaign for ratification. He IS sasacious enough to devote all ms oraiii' time. opportunities and energies TOT the | advantage of his State, doubtless reiy- ,rS unon A satisfied people as the pest political investment for the tuture' Governor Jelks has not only maoe good Governor. but he has ser'eu his
 partv so well that there is no more avai,abIe man for the leadership. II General Shelley and associates are going to put out ticket from Governor down to constable Governor Jelks IS in the best position to defeat that oppo- s,tion. The Democratic Party would stultify itself, if it met opposition with the virtual declaration of failure in it's administration of the States affairs which would be unavoidably involved in setting Governor Jelks aside. It would he a serious tactical blunder.
 From every standpoint, therefore the proper thing to do is to renominate Gov- ernor Jelks, and we have no doubt that will be done.

TREES ON BOUNDARY LINES

A recent article in The Christian World discusses some interesting phases of the question of ownership of trees growing on or near the boundary line of property. For example, if farmer A has apple trees growing on his land, but the limbs extend over the fence and hang over the land of farmer B. the apples belong to farmer A. If B. picks them up and appropriates them to his own use he Is guilty of a species of larceny, because the apples belong to A. But if the ap- pies fall on the ground and A crosses the fence to pick them up he is a trespaser because the land belongs to B. and no one has d right on 1t without the owners leave. Therefore, unless the neighbors are agreeable the apples must lie on the ground and rot because the owner of the apples cannot go after them and the owner of the land has no right to them.
 But this isn't all the mixed pickle busi- ness connected with a case of this kind, because if the limbs of As trees hang over B's land the latter has right to cut them off because a man has title to his land from the centre of the earth to the heavens. Still, he has no legal right to burn or otherwise use the limbs he has cut off, because they belong to A, and he has no right to go onto B's land to get them. This complicates mat ters some more. and unless the two conn promise the matter the cutoff boughs must remain in B's way till they rot
 There are other complications which may arise between land owners, and the only safe plan seems to be, so far as trees are concerned. to plant them exactly on the line and let each land owner claim and approprite all that is l on his side.

black. hoping thus to obtain following which would be superior in numbers to the regular Democracy. however inferior such an aggregation might be in intel ligence or responsibility. And The Times is badly out of the reckoning when it adds:
 The Advertiser certainly has failed of its intention, if it thinks It's hints are any terror to Republicans. Not only that, If General Shelley and his associates form party. call 1t Independent, "' "con- servative," democratic" or any other name, which shall undertake to establish and maintain fair and honest elections in Alabama, they will have the active aid of the Republicans until that end has been accomplished, after which, the Re- publicans would return to their own party. Of what practical benefit is 1t for Republicans to advocate and vote for Republican principles when their votes count for nought? All free men should join in first establishing our rights as citizens before quarreling about govern mental policies and party issues.
 In both the extracts quoted The Times assumes that when this fusion party has succeeded in downing the regular Demo | racy, the Republicans will draw out and proceed to reap the fruits of their victo- ry. If the editor of The Times believes | anything of the kind he is more deserving of pity than censure. for he ought to
 know General Shelley better. If the combination should succeed the latter | would take charge of the offices and the
 Republicans would be told to Depart
 from me. for T. never knew you" The
 latter might return to their own party,
 as The Times intimates. and when they
 had returned their chance for office would
 be infinitely less than it is now. The
 entire Republican Party would be recog-
 nized for voting purposes only, just as
 they now recognize the negroes.
 But the whole tenor of The Times editorial should convince any Democrat
 who Is not already convinced that the sole object of the Shelley Johnston move- ! ment is to divide or break up ths Demo- | cratic Party. Talk about honest elec- | tions" from them is q travesty and 1a | farce. There is nothing on record to show that tEey have ever hesitated tb adopt and profit by all the tricks known
 in Alabama politics and to assume that
 they have suddenly become virtuous. and
 that, like modern Sir Gallahads. they are
 going to set out in search of the Holy
 Grail of political purity is too absurd for | consideration. If the dissatisfied Demo-
 crats want to be used in such an unholy
 business as the Birmingham schemers
 design we are sorry for them, and if the
 Republicans think they will derive any
 benefit from the combination we are
 sorroy for them, also.
